ShadowClan Life Before Destruction

She then plopped herself down on the other side, waiting for him to take the first bite. "I will be fine," she said simply. "You need to stop eating next to nothing." She pointed out how skinny the tom was, hoping her old friend would start eating more often, despite the lack of prey. "Shadowclan needs good warriors like you to stay strong..." She remembered when her mentor had said that after her apprentice's death. Oh the irony. The black she-cat felt that she wasn't a good enough warrior for Shadowclan. She had allowed Wolfpaw to die. She shook her head and gazed at Snakesnap, shoving her worries to the back of her mind. "How's training been?"

[hmm, i really need to edit snake's personality on my character site. i don't have really any defining factors about him on there, so i'm gonna use this roleplay to shape his character :0]

Snakesnap forced his temptations down, giving only a glance to the prey before him. He would not be weak. In response to her meow that she was fine, he muttered under his breath, "Sure," disbelief clear in his tone. She hadn't been looking the best in recent times, so to not be entirely convinced was to be expected. Taking a moment to look down at his chest, he pretended to examine his own body before glancing back up with a slight smile. "I will be fine," he mimicked her, crouching down and taking a meager bite out of the thrush. Rasping a tongue across his paw and swiping it over his ears, he used his other paw afterwards to nudge the prey over to Nightleap. He raised his eyes level with the she-cat's, a touch of sympathy in his gaze; he did not know what it was like to lose an apprentice, but by the looks of her, he was sure that it would be terrible. Snakesnap huffed. Despite his terrible condition, he chose to care not for himself, but for others, completely going against his usual personality. To lighten her up in his own way, he chuckled, "Oh, Brokenpaw's a bit of a brat, but I suppose they're all like that, eh? I've been trying to keep myself in shape to train him to the best of my ability, but it's a little tougher than I expected. I haven't been out on many hunting patrols lately (or at least anything that required too much exertion), and his energy has definitely taken a toll on me!" He shot a lopsided grin at her, hoping that his relaxed prose would do something to help Nightleap in any way that he could.

She had little to know emotion her her tone, but there was a hint of curiosity hidden in it. She blinked not taking her eyes from his. She was taught to keep eye contact if she were intimidate, which she wasn't trying to now, or if she was trying to be polite, which she guessed she was trying to. However, some of her motives would be read wrong by most felines.

She remembered him staring at her earlier. She thought it was strange, which sparked a thought in her mind, 'What if we...' she began to think, but she knitted her fur above her eyes together pushing away the thought. No, he couldn't understand her. He would most likely push her away or run away like the other cats. However, she still looked up at him with eye contact trying not to show her emotions in her large green orbs.

Bugpaw temporarily trailed his eyes away from hers to study the way that she held herself, sneering as his eyes came back up to meet Onyxkit's gaze.
"No." He said, lowering his paw from where it had been suspended still by his muzzle down to the outside of his dark tail so it overlapped only one of his paws still.
"What's it to you?" He flicked a dark ear absent mindedly as he did this, voice coming closer to a sneer than the near emotionless darkness it had been before.

Onyxkit backed up a bit as he seemed to get a bit upset with her. "Nothing really, you just are pretty large in my opinion, but of coarse I'm pretty small," she mewed as she licked her lips. "I'm Onyxkit by the way," she said as she looked at him. He had only wavered from her gaze just for a few moment, but she didn't count it as anything.

The she-cat hunched her shoulders and leaned her head down to stretched her should blades. There was a pop, then she came back up and shook herself. The female then began to groom and scratch behind her ear. However, she continued to look at the tom in the process giving him full respect and attention.

Bugpaw blinked at this, unsure of exactly how to respond. She was small, he wasn't denying that, but he wasn't particularly large.
"Bugpaw." He mewed, as way of a name exchange. He didn't generally speak many words at a time, not wanting to waste his breath speaking to cats who did nothing but hate him as much as he hated them. The most he had really spoken had been a while ago. Even to his mentor he spoke little.

He watched her, unmoving but for his eyes, still glaring silently, which followed hers as she bent down and began to groom herself. He felt somewhat awkward, sitting here watching her groom herself, but he made no move to leave or look away, he just watched unmoving, erasing emotion from his face but for the agitation that the world constantly gave him simply for being around him. The world hated him, and he hated it in return, which was why he tried to learn to control his emotions. He had never really managed to keep in or hide his anger though.

Shrewpaw seemed ready to growl at Marshclaw. He better not had meant me! With a pout, he looked up to Silvercloud. "Sorry?" His composure was careless, making his questionable apology sound like a sarcastic comeback.

Silvercloud looked at the cat and shook his long head.
"Wold someone care to explain?" Silvercloud mewed staring a this odd cat wh had appeared from no where.
"And. Don't appreciate sarcasm" silvercloud put on a confident smile.

Foxpaw looked over at his friend, and hen at silvercloud.
"We'll you see... I was wondering if you could be his mentor?"
"I don't know who he is! Who are you, I haven't seen you around before."
Silvercloud hissed impatiently.

A large emerald green eye could been seen popping out of the nursery. Then another large eye came with the other one to make a pair. It was Onyxkit. She was a small and slender she-cat with a strange personality. She twitched her tail tip as she pawed the ground a bit. The she-cat looked around, "Hmm, it looks like a grim day to me," she muttered in her young cat voice. She usually saw things as something bad. In other words, she was pessimistic. However, on rare occasions, she would say something that would lift the spirits of another feline.

Onyxkit blinked as she began to slink her way out of the nursery. She was old enough to go out in the clearing by herself. In fact, she was four moons old! She was almost an apprentice! The female felt her body tingle at the thought in excitement. She wanted to be an apprentice badly. Onyxkit liked the idea of rising in power, but it didn't drive her mad.

The poor she-kit would try to act normal and make friends with the other kits, but they seemed to understand her humor or her actions. She would laugh at morbid things, then she would play a bit to rough. She needed a feline, who could match her weird ways and understand her, but it was a hard task. She tried everyday. She went to almost every cat to speak to them, but to no avail. She had not found a friend. Onyxkit frowned at the thought as she padded into the clearing and sat down a few feet from the nursery.

Silvercloud hissed impatiently.

"...Sorry." Shrewpaw mewed more modestly this time. "Cat's like that, they just get under my pelt." He bows his head like Fleetear had shown him, "Silvercloud? I used to be a cat with nothing to live for, until Foxpaw saved my life. Can we please talk somewhere more private? And... hear me out?" Shrewpaw didn't sound so confident, as he turned his head away when he finished.

" I don't know!" Raventail meowed. She gritted her teeth as a wave of pain engulfed her.

Mistkit almost had to shove her paw in her mouth to stop her from laughing and giving herself up. Was her mother really that dumb? She had walk past her at least three times, and hadn’t even looked her way! How could you not guess the kit was hiding in the tall grass in the corner of the clearing?
Jaysong had muttered something about the leader's den, so it was no doubt that that was where she headed as she whipped around and stalked off. Mistkit just sighed.
Of course, the most predictable thing would be to go and hide where Jaysong had already looked so she wouldn’t look there again, but anyone who knew Mist knew she was unpredictable. It was risky, but she would go hide somewhere where she could spy on her mother and whatever she was doing in the leader's den. She did a quick once-over with her grey-blue eyes and raised her body from the crouch position she was in.
According to herself, she was basically a pro stalker when it came to lurking around places she wasn’t supposed to be. You can’t be seen by anyone or else they might rat you out to your mother, or worse; your older, more accomplished sister. She shivered at the thought.
Another pro tip was to not spend too much time in one spot, a it you make noise you will be more easily spotted. The was she applied that into the moments situation was simple, hop onto the bigger, flat rocks that lined closer to the clearing than the smaller ones by the forest. She knew the unstable ones by heart, and jumped seamlessly from one to the next, up to a higher rock.
Mistkit only made one mistake.
She forgot a specific rock.
And she went
rolling,
rolling,
rolling,
Down the rocks,
Down the peabbles,
Onto the damp earth of the forest floor..
