WindClan: Life Before 2023's Fire

[StealthWarrior]

"Do you have your nest a figured out?" Skyripple asked her kit
@Leopardblaze (She's proud, hence the emphasis)

Duskkit nodded his head firmly, his tail wiggling excitedly, "Yup. I think I found a comfy one." He was so happy he had a family and a place to call home now. @StealthWarrior

"That's good!" Skyripple purred, "I wish you could sleep with me, but the other warriors would hate me."

"How come? I'm not that noisy, they wouldn't even know I was there," Duskkit squeaked out, flicking his tail, his golden eyes sparkling mischievously. "I would be super quiet."

Spotting a warrior in the clearing, Thornpaw bounded over. Could you take me training? she asked hopefully. @TheNyanCatMinecart

Wishpool had been feeling off all day. First she felt light-headed, and now she had horrible cramps. Alas, as she lay in her nest, there was no mistaking it. She was kitting soon. Poor Coldamber, two queens kitting at once. Feeling the contractions begin, she screeched in pain, and decided when this was over she would go and murder Braveheart again. This was PAINFUL. With another yowl, she pushed out the first kit, unable to see what it looked like through the pain and the spasms. Giving it a few licks, she pushed it a bit roughly towards her belly, as the contractions began again. @Rainquail @Radiantshine300 (Cypresskit)

Dipping her head at the order to take the kit to the nursery, she mewed I don't think he has a name. She wasn't sure if Twilightstar would name him, or leave it up to the queen who adopted him, not that she cared. @Moonraven @BestDragonslayer

"Hm, Nightkit will do." Twilightstar responded, not feeling like going to the nursery to figure out what the kit had been named. She could always change it later if it didn't fit. "Make sure whichever queen you leave Nightkit with has enough milk to spare." She reminds before sending the kit off with the warrior.

Ashfeather relaxed a little from the praise. It was good to hear that, especially from the Clan leader. That made her feel more relaxed, more assured, in the Clan. However, the leader's next words made her eyes widen with horror. She had heard about the whole situation, and how the tensions between the two Clans had risen, but she hadn't thought that it was this bad. It felt like she might melt under the leader's serious stare. Blackpaw, or well, Blackhaze, had just been a cat who she had met at a Gathering and talked to! Meanwhile, Rosebriar had looked sideways at her a bit smugly, and the pressure felt overwhelming. And now Twilightstar was thinking about her and Blazehaze being... something? Oh, no, did she think that they were breaking the Code for something like... forbidden love? But I would never do that! she thought, her legs shaking. Her head spun and it felt like she might collapse. However, she managed to choke out, "W-we just m-met, at a G-gathering." Her voice was hoarse and she hoped that the stink of her fear wasn't too bad because she couldn't smell anything right now. "H-he didn't take a l-liking to Rosebriar, b-but I s-swear, th-there's nothing between us!" Her voice was even worse than usual, and little bits of drool came from the corners of her crooked mouth. Desperately, she licked them up. Oh, no, that didn't sound convincing at all! But I was telling the truth! She felt nausea rise up, but relaxed a bit as Twilightstar moved onto Rosebriar.

Rosebriar found it amusing how the scrap of fur couldn't even bother to stand up for herself, but at the leader's next words, her head snapped around. The bold part of her wanted to tell the truth, which might be the smarter thing to do, but she also didn't want to get in trouble. I wish that the leader wasn't so uptight, she thought, even though it was something that she would never say aloud. She decided to just admit it. Her thoughts were her own priority, anyway. "Yes," she replied, although under the menacing stare of the leader, her voice wavered slightly. What if Twilightstar took it too seriously and did something bad to Rosebriar or her mother? They couldn't get exiled out of WindClan, or... or executed, which was infinitely worse! However, despite the nervous twitch of an ear, paw, or tail, she held her ground. "I do this, though, because I honestly think that cats... cats like that would pollute the Clans. And WindClan is supposed to be pure, isn't it? But... maybe I have been a bit harsh..." Sure, Twistedface had turned out better than she had thought, and for Twilightstar, she had to tone down quite a bit. After all, she'd prefer to stay in WindClan.

Twilightstar didn't think she had suggested anything in particular, yet Ashfeather looked even more panic then when she had first entered. The leader almost wanted to ask the warrior if she wanted to go to the med. cats for something to calm her down. Twilightstar didn't think Ashfeather had it in her to lie. She'd probably pass out or have a heart attack just thinking about it. Ashfeather's anxiety might be as bad as Puffinhop's after all. The drooling was interesting, Twilightstar's never seen a cat do that before. Dogs, but not cats.
"Relax, Ashfeather, I believe you." Ashfeather seemed to genuinely have some problems, but with someone like Rosebriar hounding her, Twilightstar saw why. "I want you to stay away from him, that tom is bad news." She could only imagine how big a head that cat had if Icestar never corrected anything he did wrong. She hoped Ashfeather heeded her words, it would be disappointing if she didn't.
She slid her attention back over to Rosebriar, trying very hard not to gouge out the she-cat's tongue. She didn't think Coldamber and Snailswirl would appreciate it if she inflicted such a severe wound. It would be worth it though, those two probably wouldn't scold her as Snippy would which was the only bright side.
"As I've said, your thoughts are your own as are your opinions." Twilightstar let out a loud aggravated sigh as she barely managed to keep her claws sheathed. It seemed like Rosebriar honestly believed every single word that came out of her mouth. That had to be Featherwhisker's parenting skills, to each their own.
"I don't care how superficial you are, you can be as shallow as a mud puddle if you'd like. You have standers, good for you, but not everyone wants to hear about them." Twilightstar doubted Rosebriar's peabrain could fully grasp the fact that everyone had their concepts of beauty and ugly, let alone the fact that some cats could do nothing about the way they were born, so she wasn't going to get into it.
"All I'm asking is that you keep your petty words and thoughts to yourself, or at least out of earshot of Ashfeather and any other cat that you might consider as 'pollution'. I have enough cats in the clan that fall into your little 'pollution' category, one including my apprentice, if your immature and crude behavior continues I'll be forced to demote you. I'll let your mother know that as well." Twilightstar wouldn't kill or exile an idiot with a crappy parent. If the demotion didn't work, she'd simply turned Rosebriar into these ugly cats that she seemed to detest. Take an eye, twist a leg, rip off an ear, break a spine. It wouldn't be hard, Twilightstar hoped it didn't come to that though. It would be quite a brutal lesson. Twilightstar had learned her own lesson about being overly gory in front of her clan. It would have to be a private experience she supposed, and there were always foxes around to stir up mischief.
"If we have an understanding, then we're done here." She told both warriors. "I'll be taking you both hunting with me, not now, but soon." She yawned, twitching her tail. Ashfeather could use some positive reinforcement and Rosebriar needed a potentially beating, but Twilightstar would have to settle for something else she guessed.

@Moonraven

After the two molly's had left she looked at Fawnkit. "You failed to show up at your ceremony." Twilightstar looked slightly disappointed in the kit. "I'm sure you were wondering why I didn't call you up during the last meeting, that's because I don't see the point in reward absent cats. Why weren't you with the other kits when I was doing the apprentices ceremonies?" Twilightstar hoped the kit had a good excuse, otherwise, she'd be leaving him in the nursery for at least another moon.

(crap i really don’t have an excuse, i was on hiatus so i guess if that means i have to wait another moon that’s fine, but i generally only replied if i’m called out by my username, i don’t just search fawnkit in the forum search, and since my username was never called i didn’t check it over hiatus) Fawnkit stood still and breathed heavily “I have no excuse ma’am i’m deeply sorry”, he said slowly. He had really screwed up this time.

Yes Twilightstar. Skunkblaze mewed with a dip of her head, padding off to the nursery. Hopefully someone could take him.
