☁︎ Cloudyflight ☁︎

Cloudyflight was pathetic. She knew it. She had spent the majority of her youth training to be a killer, training to withstand any pain that the world may throw at her. But this pain.... Starla hadn't prepared her for this. The abuse and starvation and confinement hadn't made her ready for the intense agony, the hopeless loss of the love of her life. She had been told, life goes on, but she didn't want it to. Life without Brightpath was empty. Meaningless. She wanted to have him back. She wanted them to have a family. she wanted to sit by her in the elders den seasons and seasons from now, but all that was ripped away. Torn away, mangled like the twoleg crap mangled her beloveds throat.

Collapsing beside her mate's grave, she tried not to thing of the pain Thrushfur had cause her by cheating her put of the closure that she so desperately desired. Burying her mate without letting her breath in their scent one more time. Without letting her hold them. But right now, she couldn't even allow herself to cling to the hatred she had felt for Thrushfur. she let go, and instead let out a long, weak cry of grief. Cloudy was so tired. So tired.

The world had broken her, finally broken her. She was broken. She was too weak, too exhausted to keep going. Why should she? Pointless, meaningless life.

Someone who stumbled upon the starved, depressed molly could easily mistake her for a skeleton, almost every bone showing through her thin, unkempt snowy fur. The molly had taken hours to inch her way out here, hardly able to hold her head up, she rested it on the grave, too tired to cry, to tired to cry out, to tired to make it back to camp, much less leave the burial ground. Who would care, anyways? They'd just let her rot here, too wrapped up in their own happy lives to bury her, and instead just let her bones sink into the ground, laying on top of Brightpaths corpse.

So she just lay there, hopelessly, in the cold. This wasn't a bad place to die. She was close to Brightpath. And no one would care anyways. Why even try anymore.

(open to someone to find her)

A small black kittypet walked up to Cloudlyflight. He hissed, and stared at her. ¨What are you doing?¨ He asked.

REDSTALK

The red and white cat wasn’t used to the cold,only joined Thunderclan a few season ago. The newer Thunderclan warrior made their way over to the willow tree,now a graveyard and memorial to the past of Thunderclan. Cloudyflight…The sight was surprising. A kitty pet…how the hell- The scent sent the cat into a sudden panic. “What the hell are YOU doing here. Cloudyflight….if you can,please move backwards. I know it’s extremely hard for you to in this cold.” The nonbinary cat mewed to their clan mate. If they had to battle a lowlife piece of foxdung,It would not surprise them.

Redstalk snarled as they turned back towards the black cat,A warning. The only one this kitty pet would get,Redstalk barely managing to hold back the pure rage that suddenly filled them. The white and red cat scanned the kitty pet up and down,Could they even fight back against a Thunderclan warrior. The warrior would find out. They needed someone to get Cloudyflight out of here,she didn’t need to see another cat die. She was already going through so much- Redstalk could only sympathize with her.

[Your cat is being given a warning before Redstalk attacks them. You are welcome to fight back,Or since they are on Thunderclan territory,Flee. Redstalk is giving a single warning :) They will start a fight if it means to protect a clanmate. ]

The kittypet looked at Redstalk. ¨Oh sorry! I forgot to Introduce myself. My name is Yip, nice to meet you!¨ The kittypet smiled. The kittypet didn't look much like a kittypet, they just had a collar. And their fur smelled of dogs.

Hailhawk was nearby and heard the commotion. He started to race over. Seemed like some sort of kittypet was causing trouble. He heard Redstalk already taking control but he caught Cloudyflights scent and she seemed real scared, or messed up or something and he could sense the fear. He knew he was needed and he was going to help.

Reaching the situation he placed himself in front of Cloudyflight, separating her from the kittypet in case he were to attack. But he could tell the shecat just really needed help in other ways. "Come with me." He said to her. "We can talk. Please." He said, looking at her in the eyes, a calm essence to his voice, but also urging. He needed to make sure she was ok. He knew her mate had recently died and he didnt know what he'd do without his mate so he couldn't imagine how she was feeling

Yip titled his head. ¨Why is everyone mad at me? Did I do something?¨ Yip looked confused.

Of course. The moment she was out of the protection camp, some pampered little ass would decide to come. The three legged molly raised her head, turning her gaunt, hollow face to look at the small kittypet. Her fangs bared weakly, and even though she was clearly in no state to do any damage (or even stand up, from the looks of it) she still looked fairly fierce, and her dull blue eyes narrowed. Her voice was debilitated and empty, but had an underlining tone of hostility to it. "I don't see how that's any of your goddamn business, rat. " Why was it any business what she was doing? This cat had the audacity to come onto her territory, approach her in their burial grounds, and ask her what she was doing?! Hell no.

The molly definitely had things under control, but she asked relieved (wouldn't admit it, but she was) when Redstalk and Hailhawk both showed up. She was asked to stand up, if she could, and the molly didn't really want to see if she could. If she tried, and failed... In front of Clanmates, cats she had to see every day... It would be humiliating. She noticed Hailhawk standing protectively in front of her, the skeletal tripod looked up at him, listening to his words only partially.

I can't. I can't leave them. I can't walk. For the love of God just let me freeze to death. Thoughts raced through her head, and she stared numbly at him for a few moments. She looked over at Redstalk, who the kittypet was now introducing itself to. Biting down hard, she struggled fraily to her paws, matter fur bristling in challenge to the kittypet, warning it to stay silent or he would lose his ears. But, lucky her, while her three remaining legs shook and looked very unstable, she was able to stay up. For now. She felt like a structure of twigs, just moments away from collapsing. "I can't leave them." She wheezed, finally realizing her mistake. Maybe she should have known that being pulled away from her mate before she was ready- again, would be hard. The thought of leaving then again before she was ready made her single hind leg shake, and she fell backwards into a sitting position, skeletal figure shaking as she breathed in and out heavily.

Leopardkit
She really shouldn't be out of camp. But with everything that had happened, all of the weird feelings and buzzing felt suffocating so there she was tumbling out of camp once again. Noises could be heard nearby and Leopardkit easily followed them, her somewhat larger ears picking them up easily. Tiny paws traversed the frosted ground, doing their best against a rather strong gust of wind that aimed to knock her off her feet. But she prevailed and soon enough came up to a patch of undergrowth.

Before her stretched a large, tall tree. Pale green eyes going wide the young kitten craned her neck to see it. Woah, that was a big tree. Lowering her gaze to the scene around her she noticed a snarling cat approaching another cat who was wearing something around their neck. Another bigger cat was standing in front of a really skinny cat. Hmm. Confusion twisted onto their face as she hurried over to the skeleton of a cat. Oh stars! Her legs! Did she know she was missing her leg?? Eyes widening the young kit forgot all about the rest of the scene and bounded over to the skeleton of a warrior, lifting one paw to poke her gently.

"Psst," she whispered, trying to keep her voice a whisper but it was still sort of loud, "your leg. Did you know you're missing your leg???" Concern was evident in her face as she pointed towards the stump where a leg was suppose to be. At least, Leopardkit had always seen cats have two legs back there. Then, an idea came to her and a smile crept onto her face. "I can help you find it if you want! I helped Cinderpaw find plants awhile ago, and I think I'm pretty good at finding things." Pride replaced the concern; if she was on the case, this cat would have her leg back in no time!

[ @jupiter @KN1GHTH4WKS @Sp00k3z @Prevail - mainly for Cloudyflight since that is the only cat Leopard interacted with but mentioning everyone here just incase ]

The kittypet growled. Not like a cat- but like a dog? ¨Im just trying to be friendly. I don't see the problem.¨ He shook his ruffled fur. And Growled again.

Mistylight
@Sp00k3z @jupiter @Prevail @KN1GHTH4WKS @birdie

A calm walk through the forest led her to eventually getting to Willow's Rise. The older molly had planned to sit a little under the willow for a bit and think, but as she got there, it seemed she wasn't alone. Cloudyflight was lying still on the ground, though it was easy to miss the white and grey molly among the snow patches. But something that struck Mistylight was how fragile and broken the other warrior looked. She had noticed Cloudy looking weak before, but had assumed they would eventually get better, once a little time had passed after the large number of deaths Thunderclan had endured.

She had stopped once spotting Cloudyflight, but another cat appeared as she was approaching - a kittypet, of course - and like moths to a flame, two other warriors were there to confront the trespasser. Arriving to the situation, Mistylight dipped her head to Hailhawk and Redstalk in a little greeting, before gently stroking her tail over Cloudyflight's shoulders. She heard what they said, and her heart seemed to break into pieces when she listened. "Cloudyflight; dear." Her voice was soft, even compared to her usual tone, but she didn't have time to continue before. Leopardkit? What on earth was a kit doing here? Though their eagerness to help was cute, they really shouldn't be outside camp, especially during the winter when preditors and rogues would be hungrier and therefore bolder than ever. OK, she would have a talk with the kit later.

The rogue hissed at Cloudyflight, and Misty shifted to be a little bit more between the two and her blue gaze settled on the intruder. "You need to leave." Her voice was stern; authoritative. "I can smell the twolegs on you, so I understand if you didn't register our scent markers, but you need to understand that you can't be on our territory as we can't allow that. Leave or we will have to make you, and for the love of the stars, keep your hissing away from our clanmates."

REDSTALK
Hi Birdie Lmao
Hey Flea! Nice weather huh?

POSTING ORDER FROM NOW ON (This begins after H4wks posts!)

The warrior felt a wave of relief As Hailhawk showed up to the scene. Clearly more focused on Cloudyflight,The was good. ‘Get her out of here for now…then she can mourn later. When I get this go dung off the territory.’ The red and white cat flicked their tail at Hailhawk as a way to thank the other warrior. Redstalk padded towards the kitty pet,now standing infront of them. Teeth bared at the black cat. “I don’t give a flying Fox tooth what your name is,I really don’t care who are you. You came here onto Thunderclan territory and have the nerve to ask a warrior what she was doing.” Redstalks words filled to brim with venom. Their yellow eyes locked onto the collared cat.

Redstalk was pissed,They dug their claws into the earth before they slashed towards the direction of the cats ears. Lunging forwards with the intention to knock them over and hit the black ears. The bicolored cat wasting no time to try and make their move on the intruder. They snarled,Ear pinned back as they attacked. Hopefully this guy would get the damn lesson and leave,if not then do be it. A kits mew filled Redstalks ears,The voice of Leopardkit. ‘Hailhawk you better get them both out of here.’ “Hailhawk! Remove them both,if you can. If not,We can carry Cloudyflight back to camp after this. I want her sent into Sundusts den immediately after this,Also please escort Leopardkit along too. I’m sure Sundust wouldn’t mind-” They spoke louder than normal,Incase the older warrior could hear them over the sudden battle. Mistylight showed up next,A welcome sight to The warrior. Redstalk would have to thank them both after this whole thing. If this guy would just LEAVE the territory then this wouldn’t have happened,but it was chill now,they were handling it currently.
