"Treestar!" Forestfur wailed. "Is what they are saying true? Has my son been taken to FireClan? They could kill him Treestar! Burningstar might be a decent cat, but Foxcloud is a smooth talker like none other. He is in serious danger!"

[leopardshadow]

shadowprint watched with horror as wildheart said that she had lost faith in starclan. 'how can she have? only rogues and kittypets dont beleive in starclan...' he looked over at dewpelt, who was beside the unconcious fireclan she-cat. she must have collapsed from the amount of blood shes losing. "dewpelt, we should get her to our medicine cat, fireclan or not! she wont make it back to her own clan if we just let her sit there!" he leaned over to take a closer look at berrydapple. the wound on her shoulder was gushing blood, it looked pretty bad. ' i hope that she doesnt die because of me, no she just cant' he didnt think that he should move her, the shock might make her die. "wildheart, can you help me?!" he meowed to her, seeing the look in her eyes.

OOC: *gasps* Foxcloud has made a cat loose trust in Starclan!? SCORE!!! XD RPing with a mean cat is starting to get kind of fun... "



IC: Treestar had been silent for a long while. His eyes glazed over in shock at the sudden attack from what he now knew as Fireclan. "I..." his voice stammered, words incomplete. Weakly, the leader pulled himself to his paws. A small sharp pain running down from shoulder to toes. Treestar swept his amber eyes across the crowd of cats. All their different colored orbs looking expectingly at him. If there was a time they needed him most, it was now. The weak tom paused, mind blank. But was he ready to help him? Starclan hadn't been kind to him all this time. Odd sickness making his body and mind weak, sudden attack from who he thought was a friend...

Burningstar. Treestar gave a low growl as he pictured the fellow tom leader. His son's words seemed muffled as the Earthclan leader snapped his head to face him. Amber eyes blazed angrily. After all these moon, I should have known! the long haired tom's mind yowled, pointing out the one thing Treestar had truely not wanted to accept. Burningstar had been playing him!

Without a word, the Earthclan leader lept atop the arch of land above his den. It stretched out a bit from the entrence, giving him ground from his warriors. Their eyes were still on him. Long, light brown tabby fur stood on end along his back. Tail lashing violently, he spoke; "I will tell you what we will do! Burningstar has gone too far! My trust is no more with Fireclan and his rule. Sending his deputy to do the durty work while he sits back at camp soft and warm without a drop of blood on him..." He locked his amber eyes on the fallen Fireclan she-cat. Anger flaired greater as he watched Shadowprint turn to take her to the medicine den. "Fireclan is our friend no more! From this moon on, we are at WAR!" Treestar let the final word echo across the camp. His words were met with shocked gasps and yowl of approval both.

Wildheart stared in horror at her clanmate. She bounded over to her and shouted at Dewpelt, "WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER!" She looked away from the cat and nosed berrydapple. "Berrydapple, berrydapple, please wake up! Are you ok? Don't die please!"

Lotuspetal stared at Wildheart, the desperation in her voice clinging to the air. No wonder why she had lost faith in starclan! "It wasn't his fault!" she said, sprining to Dewpelt's side, "She was already like this! Fetch a medicine cat!" she ordered to shadowprint.

Wildheart looked down to her paws in shame. "I-i'm sorry. I didn't mean... She's just..."

"Shhh..." Lotuspetal, soothed, all her anger drifting away, "I know what you mean."

[Spottedshadow]

ooc: um, Icey Fireclan is gone already...

Rippedtail stared in horror at Treestar. She didn't want it to be true, but she knew that it was and that Earthclan had reason to be opposed to Fireclan.

[lakeripple]

Forestfur's eyes darkened in agreement. "FireClan have taken my son. They are obviously no longer trustworthy. They have attacked without cause. I agree with Treestar. Our friendship with them is gone!"

[Spottedshadow]

Rippedtail looked at the worried tom. He lost his mate and daughter and now his son. She could barely imagine the pain he must be feeling. "We'll get him back," she meowed comfortingly.

[~*Snowstep]

OOC: im guessing that Wildheart should have to leave asap before the rest of earthclan gets mad. but i dont think berrydapple can, so she can stay and get treated, then be escorted out later?


IC: Dewpelt flexed his claws, digging them into the ground. Although part of his shoulder was bleeding, this whole battle still seemed to have hit him too hard. so hard that he couldn't make sense of it all. including why some of the cats weren't even fighting like they should've been; some had their claws sheathed.

a drop of blood from his wound dripped onto the ground, but it was no match for the amount Berrydapple was losing. that drop simply fused with the pool of blood she was lying in.

his glazed eyes were awakened by Lotuspetal's clear call for a medicine cat. He flickered his ears, glad that she was so smart and quick in these types of situations. it made his body feel just a little warmer knowing that she's around. he just hoped that Spottednose would come soon enough to save this Fireclan shecat.

[icefeather]

OOC: Spottedshadow, I know, Wildheart will leave soon, she just stayed behind to help berrydapple.

IC: Wildheart didn't even notice her clan was gone, her eyes were transfixed on Berrydapple. "Will she be ok?" she asked anxiously.

"I believe so," answered Lotuspetal calmly, "You best be getting back to your clan, before my clan notices your still here."

Wildheart nodded curtly, her eyes still laying on Berrydapple. "O-ok." She turned tail and ran back to her own clan. Right before she left, she gave Shadowprint one more glance of admireation and love and scampered away.

[leopardshadow]

Shadowprint heard the words as lotuspetal told him to go find a medicine cat. they didnt quite register in his mind, even the look that Wildheart gave him went unoticed. he was to horrified to move. 'did i do this?' he thought. 'how could i have done that to another cat, especially one who wildheart seems to care about.' he mentally shook himself and ran off to get thier medicine cat.

Berrydapple felt herself slowly regain awarness of her surroundings. there were cats by her, but they didnt smell like fireclan. "wildheart" she rasped softly. " shadowprint" she tried to say. Berrydapple cautiously opened up her eyes, they felt sore and scratched. she could make out a fuzzy outline of a cat above her. 'dewpelt' she realized from his scent. 'but who is the other cat?' she couldnt tell who it was on the other side of her. she suddenly felt a stab of pain, gasped and slipped back into oblivion.

OOC: wow, its kinda weird to write posts for a cat whos really injured.

[icefeather]

"Shhh!" hissed Lotuspetal, putting on a serious tone. "don't move. You've already lost a lot of blood. She looked worridly around at her clanmates that were gathering around and saw their angry faces.

[~*Snowstep]

Dewpelt felt so useless. he wasn't a medicine cat; all he could do was wait. as Berrydapple slipped back into unconciousness, he glanced into Lotuspetal's beautiful, worried eyes. somehow, just her presence made him feel a little better. she made him feel that maybe, just maybe everything'll turn out all right.

Maybe.

[icefeather]

Lotuspetal stole a quick glance at Dewpelt, and found him staring at him. She smiled, feeling heat on her fur and forced herself to look back the the bleeding FireClan warrior. "I hope she'll be okay," she murmured to Dewpelt, her eyes not meeting his, "Even if her Clan did attack our camp. I still don't understand why they did..." She pressed herself closer to him, hoping he would make her feel better.

It worked.

[ilovewarriors]

OOC: SORRY everybody for not coming in. I just did a quick scan over the last two pages of post so hopefully it'll be alright. Omg, almost forgot how to do this rp.

“Coming in, coming in.” Spottednose hollered, yelling over the commotion by the earthclan cats. There was awfully a lot of mummuring and she had wondered if there was possibly any earthclan cat injured at all. Just a moment ago, she had heard from her clanmates about the attack by Fireclan. It was such a bad timing as she was away from the camp stocking up her herbs to be involved in the battle. But at least, they would be in good use now. It was just by luck that an Earthclan patrol had met up with her, declaring about the crisis.

The mob of earthclan cats was finally reached within her sight. Slowing down her pace to steady her breathes, she sighed with relief. Now was the difficult part. Slowly, she weave herself through the mob, and barked out her medicinely cat tone in between gasps of air, “Now…enough of this chit chat please, tell me who’s seriously injured so I can get them healed first. And I would like it if there were room here; crowding like this isn’t great in this kind of situation. We need fresh air embracing us.”

Just as she she finished, Spottednose let out a gasp as Berrydapple laid just a few inches by her paws. There she was lying down, injured with blood gushing out. Quickly, she dropped her herbs and padded over to her side. Picking out the right herbs -her cobwebs-she pressed them gently over the wound and inspecting for any infection. Her head instantly perked up as the thought of Treestar came to her mind. "Where's Treestar? Is he badly injured? Are any other cats badly injured as well?" she demanded, eyes scanning the crowd for him.

[ilovewarriors]

*gasp* I can't believe no one posted after this, especially after one week.

[ilovewarriors]

WHAT?!??!??! ANother week passed by and still no.....
Is this thread dead now? @_@ *sigh*

[lakeripple]

OOC: No idea... it's not supposed to be...

[icefeather]

OOC: *icy comes flying in with her super cape on* I'LL SAVE IT!

IC: "Spottednose!" cried Lotuspetal in relief, "This cat is badly injured!" Her paws were drenched in the rust colored liquid and she felt nausiated by the stench of it. Her eyes wandered around the camp and tears came to her bright green eyes as she saw the destruction of her home. She turned to Dewpelt and Shadowprint, two friends she had come to know better in the past few days than she had learned about any cat she had known for a lifetime. "Do you have any idea why FireClan attacked us? My head is still spinning from the confusion of the fight."

And another thought confused her. The connection between the FireClan she-cat, Wildheart, and Shadowprint was overwhelming. You could sense the tension between them if you were close enough, so powerful that her fur would start to rise.

She also knew that Dewpelt held the explanation to the questions that ran threw her mind, but she didn't dare ask. She just found out more by watching them.

[~*Snowstep]

Dewpelt's eyes met Lotuspetal's, his usually bright green colour faded with sadness. He didn't know why Fireclan suddenly attacked. He didn't know why they came to kill without reason. He didn't know how to comfort the calico she-cat, though he wished that he could.

"Yes, yes, Treestar is over there," Dewpelt snapped out of it, motioning with his tail towards his den. He was glad that Spottednose had fixed up Berrydapple so fast, but the Fireclan she cat was still unconscience.

[icefeather]

Lotuspetal drank in the sweetness of his eyes when they met with hers, even if it was only for a moment. "Dewpelt, the sent of the FireClan she-cat at the Great Oak... do you think that has anything to do with.. the attack? I mean it was FireClan..." Her green eyes glittered questionally.
