ShadowClan Life Before Destruction

[cloudii]

Pebblefall nodded, but didn't want to go. "I have an...well...I have--an apprentice, I cant be putting myself in danger right now. If I see any missed, i'll make sure to close it with a stick, or something." She mewed.

Squirrelkit stared at her. "Mommy?"

More traps in the territory?

It was like the breath had been kicked out of his lungs at the memory of when his tail got caught. No amount of fighting it did anything but make it tighter around him. He could not escape..had to chew his way to freedom and leave some of his tail behind in the process. That..

Falcondive could feel the phantom burn of his tail in pain and tucked the shortened limb close to him. He was visibly uncomfortable with the thought of the traps but too wrapped up in his panic to volunteer.

.. So instead of hanging around, he quietly left the crowd to vanish into the warriors' den.

[ open for anyone who's not volunteering, this should be moved to the warriors' den ]

Noticing another apprentice sitting not to far away, she padded over and sat down. "Hello, I'm Birchpaw", she said, wanting to start a conversation.

Blackpaw stares at the she-cat in awe, “You have single handedly come up with the dumbest idea in history.” he said looking at Fleapaw. “You should train this crap out of her, maybe a training session with me could give her an idea of how much she actually needs her paws.” He said looking at Duskblossom like a mother scolding a kit and telling them they are disappointed. “How about we stick to sticks and keep our limbs?@ He said turning to Fleapaw again.
@alan @hope (I agree with that statement, also he needs a chill lmao)

Glidingleaf slipped into the warriors den. She had left the kits in the charge of another queen for a much needed break and now was searching for Flintfreckle to ask him if he wanted to join her. She was determined to be more friendly toward the tom now since she’d not exactly been in the right mind when she started looking after the kits. Instead of seeing Flintfreckle, though, she spotted Falcondive- looking a little sick if she interpreted his expression correctly. Glidingleaf hesitated, having never spoken to the tom before, but decided to try her luck in checking in with him. She wasn’t in the mood for any crap though so he had better not try her.

“Hey, Falcondive- have you seen Flintfreckle around?”

[BEAR.]

He felt like he could not breathe as he sank into the familiar structure that was his nest, sides heaving from hyperventilation as he snapped his eyes shut and buried his muzzle in his paws. Falcondive did not understand what had fallen over him but the traps had put him in the throes of panic, an insatiable fear that he would get caught again if he left camp in the near future.

His tail stung like fire, an echo of the old injury he had received only a couple moons prior. He could not stop the pain, he was not free from the silver trap. It was looped around him and tightening forever; he would always be snared by it.

In the mania of his thoughts, Falcondive missed Glidingleaf's entrance and hardly caught anything she was saying. She was barely recognizable to him. "Check.. crowd," he managed to wheeze out, struggling with the short sentences between his attempts to breathe. The meeting was not over, after all...

"Icestar is fine and well," he meows before any questions could arise about their dark leader, "I'm just here to make a quick announcement. Nettlespark and his apprentice, Cowpaw, found a strange twoleg trap. Call them what you want, but I call them Jaws. Twolegs place them on the ground and often hide them to help them hunt. Some have teeth others do not, but they all have this round thing in the middle I call a tongue, touch that in the slightest and the trap snaps shut. Once it's shut it's nearly impossible to open again without help. " Beastspark's fluffy tail lashed behind him as his eyes scoured the gathered clan to ensure each and every one of them was paying attention to him.

"They're powerful enough to snap a limp right off whether it be your tail or your leg. Get your neck stuck in there and you are dead." Beastspark could easily see a clan leader losing all nine of their lives to these Jaws. "They are extremely dangerous, however, they don't bite more than once. If you touch the middle with a stick or really anything that isn't yourself, it closes and becomes relatively harmless." A cat could still harm themselves if they were being stupid... Beastspark prayed he didn't send out any halfwits today.

"With that said, I need some volunteers to sweep the whole territory and make sure there are no more traps around. If you do happen to find any more, get them closed without harming yourself. If you're worried about stepping on them drag a stick around with you, use it as a guide so you know where to step, and make sure you keep your distance when they snap, they're known to jump." The deputy fell silent as he waits to see if any clanmates are willing to risk limb and life on this dangerous endeavor.

[Note: This will be the start of a kidnap and rescue plot I'm doing. Those of you who volunteer your cats and are picked will be getting kidnapped by twolegs. Those of you who want to be kidnapped and aren't picked can still get kidnapped. I will explain how in Beast's next post.

Kit is the only rank I'm not allowing to get kidnapped for this plot.

Please keep in mind that there will be a rescue and that cats will be needed for that, ShadowClan will also be working with WindClan for the duration of the rescue.]

Me. I’ll help. I’m calm and careful. I could help. Birchpaw took a step forwards and sat down tail around him like a leaders. @Undertaker

Falcondive’s response gave her all the clues she needed to know that he was struggling- or his voice did. Glidingleaf hurried to his side and, ignoring the rules of usual interaction, lay down beside the tom she didn’t know. She lightly touched his fur and tentatively stroked it, checking to make sure she wasn’t making things worse.

“What’s on your mind, Falcondive? I’m the only other cat here- it’s safe.”

She didn’t want to pressure him into speaking about what was affecting him so heavily, but it would be helpful to her to know what he was up against and what she was trying to distract him from. If he couldn’t answer, that was fine- there were other ways to calm a cat down.
