WindClan: Life Before 2023's Fire

[Puddle~]

Puddlesplash was feeling rather tired lately. He didn't know why, but perhaps it was simply the winter temperatures dragging at his energy. Sitting alone in the warriors' den, he could feel himself beginning to drift off. A short power nap couldn't hurt. After all, it'd help him regain some energy, and then he could go be productive afterward. Giving in, the russet tom curled up in his nest and shut his eyes, drifting off into dreamland.

Deadpaw liked yelling. It fixed many problems, and it made her feel very powerful. She hadn't been doing as much recently, she had been trying to practice MANNERS, which were aggravating but surprisingly useful. They got you training anyhow. Deciding to do a little more practice, she padded up to the nearest cat, who was gazing up at the sky, and mewing rather stiffly It's a nice day, isn't it today? Would you be willing to take me hunting? The clan needs prey after all. And she needed training, but this had worked before, so she might as well try it out again. @TheNyanCatMinecart (Quality family yelling time?)

Wolffang startled as a loud sound threw itself against his ears. Hissing, he spun around, ready to make an angry remark, but stopped dead. It was Deadpaw, his younger half-sister, the one with the lame paw. His nose scrunched up a little. Why should he tolerate someone yelling at him like this? Especially someone who was deformed? Taking her hunting would be alright, he guessed. It might help to shape her up, spending time with a good warrior like him. But not if she yelled loud enough for ShadowClan to hear.
“Be quiet!” he growled furiously. “I don’t care if we’re kin, but if you want to go out, then you have to keep your mouth shut, or at least stay quiet. Not like you could ever be as good as a regular apprentice with that paw of yours.”

Although she was hungry, she had no appetite, yet she couldn’t just reject it, could she? “Th-thanks,” she meowed quietly in a weak, distorted voice. Gently, she pawed the vole over to her and sniffed it. The smell made her stomach roil, so she stared at it, unable to will herself to take a bite.

“ please eat, you’ll be no use to your kits if your slowly getting weaker” he said sitting down “ I’ll sit hear until you eat” he said looking at the queen.

Maybe that had come out a little louder than intended. Her ears already having flattened back a bit, they continued to do so as Deadpaw realized the cat who's attention she had just attracted. Wolffang. Her older, oh so perfect brother. This was going to be incredibly awful, as his next words attested to, as he immediately jumped in to commenting about how her paw made her useless. The apprentice was taken aback, and instead of her usual sharp tongue, she nodded, ashamed. Yes Wolffang. she muttered softly, her head dipping. She hated the way her family made her feel, and how true it seemed when they all looked so perfect, and she......was ugly. Her tail low, she padded out of camp before waiting for him outside. @TheNyanCatMinecart

(Ok it’s fine. Can you mention me when you can let outsiders join the clan?)

[WeMissBeingKits]

She felt bad for the kits...She wanted to make them feel a bit better and shared some of the moss from her nest. She tucked the the moss around the kits and drifted off to sleep as well. @Shadeleaf @Santafan09

Wolffang eyed the light brown tabby, eyes narrowed. At least she seemed to understand her place. It was shameful, having any kin of his harbor a deformity. Although a twisted paw wasn’t the end of the world, it was good to know that she wasn’t snapping at him like she did with Rosebriar. He followed the she-cat out of camp, considerably faster than she was. “Alright. I assume that you know how to hunt, even with that lame paw of yours?” he asked. Knowing that he was in control was a good thing, but at the same time, if she wanted to earn his respect, she had to actually prove that she could take the jibes and work toward earning a better place in WindClan. Well, Twistedface tried, but she would always be pathetic.

Ashfeather was a little touched by the niceness of the calico. His words held truth, and he was being really nice. Yet she didn’t want to bother him - and let him see how terribly she ate her fresh-kill. “Y-you don’t have to be b-bothered with m-me,” she stammered, ducking her round black head in embarrassment. “I-I’ll eat it. Promise.” She meant it. Hopefully, the apprentice would believe her.

“ do you need anything? A fresh nest? More prey? Company?” He asked not moving. He wanted to be helpful in any way. He enjoyed helping queens and playing with kits and it would be no different with ashfeather

As her brother padded on ahead and she struggled to keep up somewhat, Deadpaw huffed out a bit irritably The paw doesn't make me stupid! I know how to hunt! Even though she had trouble with the actual running part, and the jumping part, which made the knowledge of what she had to do fairly obsolete. But she wasn't about to mention that to her brother, since that would induce further ridicule which she was not looking to attract. Hoping she would be able to make a good start, and aggravated with herself for caring what he thought anyway, she scented the air, pointing her tail over a crest in the moor fairly triumphantly. There's a rabbit that way. @TheNyanCatMinecart
