🌊 A Debt Repaid 🌊

poor clover ;0; sage comin to the rescue //

➸ sagekit

they'd had a bad feeling for hours, hours before all the chaos erupted. so, where they surprised? a bit, yes, but they expected it. were they terrified and sobbing? also yes. (they knew something bad would happen, joining a clan with so many cats. why did they choose to stay?) all the screaming hurt their eyes and their vision was blurred with tears, ears giving acknowledging twitches at tansythorns call.

sagekit spotted cloverkit, walking over and nudging them slightly. "com-come on..we have..to - to go!" they sobbed, pushing up against their sibling. they had little to no idea where rosekit was, they couldn't spot her anywhere it seemed. maybe she had gone ahead with tansythorn.

➸ rainykit

just as quick as they had passed out, rainykits eyes blinked open, staring at the roof of the nursery. screaming, crying - it was all going on still. they considered curling up in the very back of the nursery, until they heard tansythorns call. pushing themself off of the ground, the kit slowly inched out of the nursery, head throbbing and scurrying over to the queen.

the scent of blood filled their nose, feeling nausea wash over them again when they realized they were standing near a corpse. they squeezed their eyes shut, shuffling close to tansythorn and holding their nose up high, hoping it would help with the growing nausea.

Yowls and screams surrounded the tabby tom. Lime green eyes scanned the clearing while Stormtalon's veins burned hot with adrenaline, his mind overwhelmed by sensory input as the battle went underway.

The stench of blood, fear, and sweat polluted the air. Storm's claws slid out and punctured the earth; ears flicked to the left when a fast approaching sound hit them, standing out against the pandemonium. He dipped low to the ground, muscles tensed in readiness when he zeroed in on his attacker: a brown tabby with flaming green eyes. She was gunning for his side with claws outstretched. Move.

He sprung himself out of the feline's reach in time to avoid the worst of it. A stinging sensation told him the attack was partly successful, although Storm kept his balance, which was the most important strategic advantage. Pivoting with practiced speed, the sleek warrior leapt for the tabby, aiming to swipe his talons across her flank.

(perhaps we shouldn't mention him tho since the nortifications might get too much. )

Yarrowshade avoided the brunt of the attack, his claws grazing her spine. She needed to be careful. Spinning viciously, she sent her paw in an uppercut aimed at his jaw. Speed was a big advantage. She did not want to lose it.

Duskkit

Duskkit hurried over to Sunkit, looking around. Where was Bramblekit?! Sun seemed to be panicking too.

"Hi, Sunkit! Where's Bramble?," Dusk asked fearfully.

;Sunkit;

The kit's scared gaze turned to Duskkit, still sticking close to Tansythorn.

"I- I don't know!" she wailed. "I don't know where anyone is! Stay with me, please, Duskkit!"

Her sobbing, wide eyes showed obvious fear.

@Dipper

Blueberrykit looked up at the warrior with wide eyes what was going on was scaring her, but on she couldn’t leave camp, she’d have to be brave and speak up,” B-bu-but I-I c-c-can’t le-leave camp. K-k-kits are-aren’t allowed o-o-out of camp.” she forced out. That was the rule, and she didn’t want to get in trouble for leaving camp, she wanted to become an apprentice on time. And that meant staying put in camp. She had to do it.

"Albatrossfire?" he replied, sounding genuine but with quite the mocking undertone. "I know no one of that name. But perhaps you would like to see your sister again? I am happy to help."

He ducked as Blizzardsky leaped for him, and then shot a paw up, claws unsheathed, aiming to rake the warrior's belly wide open.

Blizzardsky thankfully was prepared for an attack and was able to dodge that blow before he aimed his claws for Albatrosspaw’s eyes. His genius idea was to blind the tom he knew it would make the skilled fighter much worse at fighting, since frankly he wasn’t too sure if he was good enough to beat the murderer in a fair fight, so he had to play a little dirty and blind the man first.

Stormfang

Stormfang watched as RiverClan warriors stormed into the camp. He heard Kestrelstar's cry that they had taken over parts of the territory. Hadn't he called it? Just a couple days earlier, he had predicted this would happen. And no one had believed him. For some reason, they all thought that Kestrelstar would be peaceful and wouldn't remember all the things RiverClan and ThunderClan had squabbled over. His Clanmates were all content to just sit around and wait for the impending attack. That was the worst thing about it. Stormfang had known. Knew from the very beginning that RiverClan would get it's revenge. He knew who Kestrelstar was. He was the kind of cat who always needed to even the score. In his eyes, ThunderClan had done something that called for revenge. He obviously thought that killing Buckstar wasn't enough, so he went for the full-on assault on the camp.

As ThunderClan rose up to meet the invaders, fury raced through Stormfang. No cat could come in here and take their camp. Letting out a roar, he bounded through the crowd, heading straight for the RiverClan leader. Knocking cats out of his way with his broud shoulders. He was about halfway across the clearing when someone crashed into his flank, sending him stumbling sideways. His teeth bared, Stormfang turned and took a swipe at the RiverClan warrior.

Nightpaw

Nightpaw hurried through the forest, screeches erupting around her. She needed to get back to her patrol. She hadn't seen them for a while. If she accidently ran into an invading patrol by herself, she was done for. She smelled RiverClan and knew that the attack had come she just hoped that the ThunderClan was prepared enough to fend them off. They had only a couple days to make themselves ready. Their defenses were a bit shaky still, and they didn't have any real organization. If they survived this battle, Nightpaw knew that appointing a leader was paramount.

A rustling noise nearby jerked her out of her thoughts and she tensed. The fishy stench of RiverClan was fresh and very close. Realizing she still held her freshly-caught squirrel, she dropped her catch and slowly backed away. Nightpaw was an experienced fighter, but she figured that grouping up with other cats from her hunting patrol would be most important.
(open if a cat from her patrol wants to find her or a RiverClan cat at Firefly cove)

Tansythorn winced at the memory of Whitewolf holding 'em back, pseudo-forcing them to swallow an attack of full strength on the crowd of guppies, but was glad the Clan overall had taken to teeth and claws to defend their home. Was right by the Code. Code didn't say nothin' about standing there like wimps. If she believed in a fair-acting StarClan, she might've been convinced a punishment was headed their way for this display of cowardly behavior. Real damn shame it had to happen in front of RiverClan. Lord knew they weren't livin' that one down anytime soon.

As the chaos unfolded and worsened, Tansythorn barged through the battle scene with teeth bared and a resting angry face that could kill -- if some wiseguy thought it smart to attack her, she'd give them a couple scars to remember. She had a destination in mind, and it didn't include exchanging blows: the nursery. Evacuations hadn't been started, far as she could tell. Made sense too, considering they were lacking both a leader and deputy to give those orders.

Although about to start barking them herself, Tansythorn spotted her unconscious (see: dead) clanmate with a certain poor scrap beside them. A nice reality of war laid out. "Sweetheart," she said, voice even as she fought to keep it so. With a grim definitiveness, she added, "I'm real sorry." Gecko was gone. No way to sugarcoat it. But unfortunately, this was no place for a kit, and she soothingly murmured, "Gecko'd want ya to be safe. They's watchin' from the stars and would be awful disappointed if ya got yourself hurt out here. Would give both of us an earful, I imagine."

. . .

Tansythorn's gaze swept over the rest of the clearing, stomach in turmoil as she spotted several familiar kits scattered throughout the clearing. They'd have to work on evacuation protocol, especially if their warriors kept making decisions that induced raids. "If you's a future apprentice of ThunderClan! Or an apprentice who don't have no training--" she called over the sound of the battle, addressing the kits and non-fighting apprentices. "We're headin' out! The warriors gon' need us to be stationed near the Weeping Tree." Mission: Safety was hopefully underway. "Lotsa cuddles and good Rivercat-whompin's to be had there. Mini-warriors of Thunder, let's go!"

Silvergaze

Silvergaze silently agreed that the kits and inexperienced apprentices should be moved away from the danger. She was already close to the Nursery and decided to help out with the relocation of the kits to the Weeping Tree.

Chamomilekit

Chamomilekit did as she was told and followed the bigger cats to where it was safe.

Rosepaw

Rosepaw heard the warrior call the others to leave and did as she was told. But she wanted to stay and fight. She then quickly thought better and went with the others like she was told. But first, Wheres Songpaw? she thought silently.

- Shadowkit -

[ @liz ]

Shadowkit, dragged away from the pain and wrapped in Cedarsong's fluffy, downy fur, took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. Mother was here with him. She would protect him from the pain. Sniffling, the young, blind tom curled up tightly in the queen's embrace. It didn't matter what he heard or smelled - Mother would keep him safe. That was what he could rely on - who he could rely on.

Blinking open his eyes in vain, as if the darkness would flee his vision, Shadowkit whispered, "Th-Thank you..." There was a simple truth the tom clung to as the world crashed down around him: it didn't matter how broken he felt - how scared the world made him - the mistakes he'd made. He'd lost one mother, but he'd found another. That was what filled Shadowkit now - the love of a kit to his true mother - and he wasn't sure, but he thought Cedarsong might love him too.

*Fiercekit*
Fiercekit struggled to get through the writhing of some cats clashing together. And he made his way towards the other kits and young apprentices.

*Songpaw*
Songpaw went along with Fiercekit blocking him from the Riverclan cats if need be. He wouldn't stand a chance against a Riverclan cat. But he wouldn't let them take a kits life. He finally made it to the group that was leaving.

[littlelove]

As Cinderkit rushed into the whirlwind of fighting and the metallic, ever-engulfing stench of blood, an odd sort of fear gripped her. She was suddenly dissoriented; the yowls and screams of her elder clanmates and more importantly the cries of those her age and younger seemed to glue her to where she was standing; smack in the middle of... everything.

Her eyes caught Whitewolf tearing into her foes, her paw pinning a Riverclan warrior as a smaller cat limped away, and Tripleaf pleading with her to stop all of a sudden - since when had her idol been that brutal? Cinderkit's claws dug into the ground as she forced herself to glance away from the scene.

Everywhere she looked was just as overwhelming. Blood mixed with dirt smeared on just about everyone and the ground, both fallen clanmates and foes littered in the clearing...

At Tansythorn's call, she knew she had to go. This wasn't some play-battle. She could and probably would be killed if she stayed in the flurry for much longer, and she certainly wasn't planning on dying yet; not until she could rub her future successeses in Bumblekit's face and make Coalstrike and Whitewolf proud when she became a warrior and make sure that Elderkit would -

Where was Elderkit? The absence of her half-brother knocked Cinderkit back to earth. He was so little and just as rowdy as she was; What if he'd wandered out onto the battlefield too? A cold dread gripped her ribcage as her head whipped around, her eyes frantically searching the battlefield.

"Elderkit!" She shouted, her pale green eyes erratic.

(last call for someone to come scratch her up pls ray: also @Kyrieknight incase you want elder to respond!!)
