WindClan: Life Before 2023's Fire

Leopardpaw
__________

Leopardpaw's slashed yellow eyes grew wide with surprise as Twilightstar announced Daisykit an apprentice. An apprentice? Already? Ah, good god - now both Leopardpaw and her adoptive daughter were of the same rank. Great.

Rising to her paws with a grunt of exhaustion, the brawny cashmere plodded stiffly over toward the spotted apprentice, her stalking gait trying what seemed like its hardest to mask the grudge she now held. "Daisyki-paw," she murmured, eyes diverting from the bengal's. "Er, good job, I guess."

Daisypaw moved away from her mentor to see Leopardpaw. She didn't exactly want to see this cat, but she guessed she would be seeing a lot more knowing they shared the same den again. "Well well well. You know I know you don't mean that. And Im not too thrilled to be sharing a den with the likes of you." , growled Dasiypaw. If she had to she would stay out in the territory. If that is what it takes to never cross paths with this cat again.

The apprentice had a strong hatred for this cat and she was sure to show it.

She meowed, “It doesn’t hurt because it’s all healed now.” Then her gaze hardened, her voice turning bitter. “A ShadowClan apprentice, Blackpaw, attacked me while out hunting. He said that he didn’t like me just because he didn’t get along with me at the Gathering.” Her body relaxed a bit. “He really is annoying.”

"He really must have been a jerk to go out of his way to attack someone he doesn't like." He mewed in agreement, his eyes narrowed. Then he looked back to Rosepaw. "Trust me, if anyone were to attack me or anyone, I'll send them running back to the nursery!" A fierce determination glowed in his eyes.

The huge cashmere crinkled up a brow until the point of an ever-so-sinister smirk crawling its way onto her scarred features. Pfft. Stupid kit was amusing.

"Look. You can keep your petty hatred for me, alright?" Leopardpaw drew herself upright, whiskers trembling against the grin that had spread across her bloodstained muzzle. "It's not going to prove anything. You'll never prove anything. You've dedicated the entirety of your being with me - your own previous caretaker - solely to making me out to be your target. How sickening of you, Unknown."

Daisypaw was growing even more angry at this cat."You weren't a caretaker. A caretaker is a cat that is willing to be in a cats life. You seemed to never put any effort into it now did you?", she meowed. She wasn't that weak kit anymore. She was going to show to be the most powerful enemy. She'll make cats wish they ever quarreled with her.

"My name's Daisypaw and yo made yourself a target when you turned your back on me. My weak dead mother made a better mother than you ever would be.", she added with her own smirk.

Leopardpaw allowed herself a yawn of growing boredom. The quarreling had hardly begun and already Unknown was becoming triggered beyond her limits - pathetic. Absolutely pathetic.

"You know I hold no sympathy for your 'weak, dead mother,' Unknown. And your unecessary rage is just starting to become enough for me to hold nor any remorse for how I abused you. Hmm."

Daisypaw could care less about her late mother. She was dead and that was all to it. "And I could care less about those kits who viciously taken from you. They wouldn't want to have a mother like you if they had survived.", she snickered. "I don't care about you no more. I have better things to do than listen to a cat like you.", she meowed. 'Like becoming more powerful than you will ever be,' she thought.

Ah, so his tail was safe for now. Rushingmoor refused to credit that to Stagpaw and the apprentice’s strange ideas and rather credited to Twiggy being unwilling to injure him. Obviously, Twigs wouldn’t hurt him, Mushy, her best friend in the whole clan! No matter what she said to the contrary, Rushingmoor wouldn’t believe it. He knew she more than tolerated him! If she only tolerated him than he’d have lost his tail ages ago. But, Twigs needed to believe what she needed to believe- she still told herself she only tolerated Stagpaw and she was literally the kid’s mom at this point.

Then again, Rushingmoor had yet to admit to himself that he was basically Stagpaw’s dad and he spent just as much time with the little bug. They were one dysfunctional family but it didn’t seem likely that any of them would admit that to themselves- except for Stagpaw if he knew what dysfunctional meant.

Stagpaw’s declaration that Twilightstar likes Rushingmoor prompted a snort from the bengal mix, especially in conjunction with the following question. While it was jarring to hear the kid ask if he was his “papa” it was also pretty funny to watch Twilight react to the implication that the two of them were in love and/or soon to be mates. He was sure she loved that suggestion.

As expected, Twigs pretended to merely tolerate him; seriously, twiggy, liking someone as a cat and friend did not mean you had to become their mate and the mother to their adopted son- even though technically he’d become the father to her adopted son... sort of. It was getting a little old to Rushingmoor but he also didn’t really care that much. Playing around was fun and he’d been enjoying his time annoying Twilightstar and acting like a kid with Stagpaw but he was also feeling a little worn out. He was Twilightstar’s friend, at least she was his, and he cared about her wellbeing but being relegated to the position of jester was growing tiring.

To be fair, it was his fault for acting like a kid. Maybe he should grow up a little? He was a strong and mature warrior but Stagpaw and Twilight brought out his playful side. It seemed perhaps he was being too playful, though. He definitely wasn’t acting like the kid’s dad- more his play pal. But where were these thoughts coming from? Rushingmoor didn’t want to ruin their easy dynamic but part of him wanted it to change.

“Don’t listen to her, you know she likes me!”

His voice was teasing as he caught up to Twi but his heart wasn’t totally in it. Rushingmoor definitely had some thinking to do before this strange dynamic went too far.

-

Rushingmoor looked over to Deadpool, feeling bad for her. Stagpaw could be a lot to handle for cats who didn’t know him or his code words. To be fair, Rushingmoor too was a lot to handle when he was acting silly like that.

“Twigs is one of our nicknames for Twilightstar. Stagpaw wants to get her something pretty.”

The question of him dropping Stagpaw on his head made the Tom laugh but he could only shrug his shoulders. Rushingmoor didn’t know Stagpaw’s real parents so he couldn’t really answer that but sometimes it seemed likely. He briefly wondered what Stag would be like if he was normal and quickly shooed that thought away. He liked Stagpaw the way he was.

Specklekits eyes shone up at coyotesnarl the former medicine cat. If there was anything specklekit wanted to be was a medicine cat.
