You're all just so scared of your leader you don't dare and live on your own. No loyalty in that clan, none at all in her opinion.

"Wow, that little speech might have impressed someone with lower expectations than mine," Goldenclaw snapped, ears flattened on his head. "You care so much about your Clanmates, many cats have already fled, others are dead, and you have no leader or deputy. That really shows some caring going on, huh? So, don't you dare complain of our loyalty when you're too scared to even think about finding Twilightstar, acting like headless chickens when she and Breezefeather are gone."

In case you hadn't noticed our camp is currently occupied and your delightful leader would know if we left it. If we go and look for Twilightstar, she's made it quite clear she will kill her. In reality, not going looking and getting seen IS caring. I can't say anything about the cats who fled Idiots. but they left so they aren't part of the clan anymore, are they? Deadpaw spat, her ears flattening back against her head. Cowards in every clan. I bet a few left Shadowclan when Dawnstar became leader, her scaring cats off isn't a new thing I'd bet. she added, her tail lashing.

Life had changed ever since ShadowClan took over. It seemed training had come to almost a complete halt, and Hailpaw was noticing that some of her clanmates were reacting quite badly to it all – and not just by the constant fights and arguments. Somehow not having gotten around to properly eat something in a solid day or two, the silver apprentice finally managed to obtain a decent looking Starling from the prey pile, reminding her of her first training session. What a disaster that had been. Hailpaw was quick to move away into a bit of a corner to calmly eat it. Just some peace and quiet with a decent meal. Perhaps she could try going for a walk later, to clear her head a bit and train on her own. The lack of practice was starting to bother her, and her paws were just asking for a run.

"It isn't," Goldenclaw admitted, looking around to make sure no one else heard. "But, to be honest, this wouldn't have happened had WindClan not invaded us in the first place. I'm just waiting until Dawnstar drops dead." It felt nice to finally say it, even to an enemy, but this sassy lost cat seemed just as upset as he was. "Besides, no one else knows where your leader is. So, what can we do until either Dawnstar is satisfied or dead? Nothing much, much like you bunnies. So, I don't want to hear another word of being cowards. This is only the beginning of what Dawnstar is going to do, trust me."

Okay. He knew this was a bad idea. He knew he shouldn't be inside this den which he was quite sure that Lawn was going to take over for herself... but he just had one goal. And that was to rescue Twiggy's nest from the mutilation that was sure to happen thanks to Lawn and her horrible eating habits. So... he had sneaked into the den, with hopefully no Lawn anywhere near close. He had been watching carefully ever since the meeting in which Lawn had promised she would take over Twiggy's den... but as he crept inside he realized that Lawn had NOT! done anything bad... YET! Which meant there was a small time in which he could rescue Twiggy's nest from the blood that was sure to spill when Lawn started to eat all the bad cats.

"Weaselwish! Come on! We must rescue Twiggy's nest before Lawn like,,, breaks it and ruins it to who knows what." And with that... Stagleech ran as best as he could on his three functional legs and his one crippled paw, towards the nest and tried to drag it out but it was somehow harder than he thought. But that was why he'd brought Weaselwish with him! It still smelled like Twiggy. That was good.

Mothsnow lashed her tail as she walked, hissing at any Shadowclanner that got near her. She was carrying kits and did not want them to grow up in this enviroment. She admit that it would be better if Oaklight was still here. Their relationship was more arranged than anything else, but she respected him greatly.

As the apprentice tried to describe what an adder looked like, Snail found themself poking around the rocks carefully. They didn't really think that they would even be poking around adder rocks, especially in the dead of leaf-bare looking for snakes, but here they were. What could they say, it was hard to resist Robinpaw! He was just so,, cute! And definitely their favorite apprentice now that Stagleech was a warrior. They chuckled. "So... colorful, wiggle worms?" They summarized, taking a quick break to look at Robin and tilt their head questioningly.

Honestly, how hadn't they seen an adder in their life? Sure, they were young, but it seemed like sort of a universal experience. "Yeah! Like a nice long nap..." They drifted off, imagining how well rested they would feel. Ahhh. Oh! OH! "Hey! Hey! Robin! It's a snake! There! I think!" The tabby had lifted up a rock with their paw to reveal a pale brownish worm-like thing! Probably a snake. It was tightly coiled up, and... pretty cold to the touch.

// scREAm i didn't realize it'd been this long m sorry

“Yea!” Robinpaw nodded repeatedly, beaming. “Colorful wiggle worms!” That sounded about right, didn’t it? His attention was quickly diverted from describing snakes when Snailsie said that they’d found one — aAAA..!! “Lemme see lemme see lemme see” Robinpaw said, scrambling so he’d have a view of the snake-thingy. OO! Oooh! It looked like a snake! A real, actual snake! “Good job!!! nice!!” the apprentice squealed with renewed excitement. The apprentice gave the snake-worm a long, hard stare, his face filled with awe. Aww. “woA! It looks so cool! And so ,,, pokeable!” Robinpaw wanted to just… pat it. Poke it. Prod it. But,, he didn’t want to die. Could snakes kill him? Probably, right? Still..

Wait - Snailsie knew stuff. “Snaillsiiie? Do ya think it’ll kill me if I touch it???” Robinpaw asked, glancing over at his favorite person. He wondered what it would feel like (...and what it would taste like, but Robinpaw wasn’t going to test that out - at least, not now.) It looked cold. Maybe it’d be hard and scaly? Worms were sort of mushy, though, so maybe snakes were mushy. Maybe it was both. Hm. Only one way to find out..!

Littleswirl let out a warning growl as she neared the rocks and heard what the apprentice had said. ”Yes idiot, what do you think the fangs are called venomous for? I was bitten just after my warrior ceremony by a stray adder, I barely survived. You certainly wouldn’t, you’re not strong enough yet!” Littleswirl turned herself around to show the apprentice a scar on her shoulder. It was clearly from a bit, and she lashed her tail at the memory of how the scar had come to be on her shoulder. @hope

➳ Basilwhisker

Slipping into the leaders' den after Stigs, Basilwhisker took a moment to glance around. He had never been in the leaders den, and briefly became fascinated with how large the space was. There was so much room for art! So many empty wall space to hang a leaf portrait, and perhaps a couple berries to dot it in replication of Silverpelt...

Stigs voice cut through his thoughts and he nodded, scurrying over to the other side of the nest. "I'll get this end!" he whispered to his friend - though he wasn't entirely sure why he was whispering, just that this felt like the most secret mission ever and he didn't want to alert Dawnstar of their presence if she happened to be hanging around outside.

Picking up the other end of the nest in his jaws and careful to not crunch down too hard, Basilwhisker started to turn so that he was the one walking backwards with it, not Stigs. "Hehre, turn arounf so you can alk forwarfs," he breathed, trying his best to talk around the mouthful of moss and leaves.
