Moonlitpaw looked anxiously about the camp. It moonhigh had come and gone, and Burningstar still hadn't chosen a deputy. "Firemist!" she yowled to her mentor. "Why don't we have a deputy yet?"

"Cause Burningstar is too sick to pick a new one." Foxcloud answered bluntly. It was clear that the warrior saw no reason why she had to hide this news from apprentices. They all had the right to know. "Better take care of yourself extra well. Don't want that green cough getting to you." the she-cat purred to her apprentice friend. This purr was oddly soft for the grumpy she-cat. The first, and maybe the last kind words she would say in a wile.

"Greencough?" Moonlitpaw repeated. "Burningstar has greencough?"

"Thats what the medicine cat is guessing. Tis' the season!" Foxcloud replied, as she watched the leader's den. For once in her life, she cared about a cat. She cared about Burningstar. The Fireclan leader was wonderful, and she didn't want him to leave them for Starclan. Heck, Starclan could have any other cat, as long as they kept Burningstar with them.

Moonlitpaw shivered and inched away from the den. "Perhaps I'd better stay away..." she murmured.

OOC: hey guys! sry for the long absense. 0.o been uh *cough* away. XP so i probably still wont be able to always be on, especially not all the characters. i saw this thread though, thanks to ilovewarriors for reading all the posts sitting right here beside me in class. =P anyways, ummm how about i make Burningstar lose another life? XP feel like making him die a few times LOL out of no reason... eh hem... and who do you guys want to be the new deputy?
IC: A dark ginger shadow lay in a bundle of dried moss. its fur was matted and its tail dragged out behind him, not curled around his aching body. his claws sheathed and unsheated from pain, claws digging aimlessly into the crumpled moss. no cats came to change it, because they were afraid to catch the greencough. an aura of sickness surrounded him. he felt like he was covering himself up in darkness, and no light could reach him.
Burningstar coughed pitifully. his throat was as dry as the grass on the plains in the middle of green-leaf. all that came out were dry rasps and, ocationally, blood. blood as dark as his pelt, now dull. his usually bright green eyes were shadowed, and his pupils were round from being away from light for so long.
he knew this life wouldn't last long anymore. he could feel all his energy being drained away. he could feel nothing except the call of STarclan that wanted to meet with him before he came back to tend to his clan. nothing around him could stop him from abandoning this life and moving onto the next one. not even himself.
he awaited his moment of death.

Firemist listened to the quiet coughing. He'll lose a life, she thought.
"Come along Moonlitpaw, Let's hunt for the elders."

OOC: I think Firemist should be... I think it'd be cool to have a deputy for a mentor...
Moonlitpaw slowly nodded. She knew that her mentor was going to lose another life, and it scared her. "Firemist, how many lives does Burningstar have?" she asked.

"Eight, for now," Firemist sighed.

OOC: I don't know, Snowstep. I made Honeydew deputy of Earthclan, so she is out.....ummm....maybe someone who is active? I wouldn't really pick because of the cat, but I guess Firemist is open. I don't think Foxcloud is good, 'cuz she is only my temporary cat. WAIT!!!!! I JUST GOT A IDEA!!!! Maybe Foxcloud could become deputy, but then she does something REALLY bad, and then Firemist becomes deputy after her? Foxcloud doesn't like Firemist anyway........(not that I don't like you, Spottedshadow! ^^)...maybe she could try and kill Firemist, but fails of corse, and gets banished for it? What do you think? 0_o
IC: Foxcloud's yellow eyes locked onto Firemist. Why did it seem that the she-cat was always takeing Moonlitpaw away from her? It was like the only light in Foxcloud's dark world was always away after Firemist became her mentor. Hate. That is what burned in the she-cat's chest right now. Even when it was Moonlitpaw's break time from training, her mentor was there, and always pulling her away from Foxcloud. The she-cat's claws flexed in the dirt, before she whipped quickly up from her spot, and took a closer seat near the leader's entrence. Now, the only thing that she could hope for, was that Burningstar would get better. Now that was the only light in her dark world; Her leader getting better.
OOC: You have a leader for a father....isn't that cool anymore?...*sniff* T-T .....lol, joking, joking

OOC: lol, of course!
IC: "Wait!" Moonlitpaw mewed, "What about Foxcloud?" she had always liked the ginger warrior, and thought it unfair that she, like herself, was friendless. "Surely she doesn't want to be stuck in a greencough ridden camp!"

OOC: hey that sounds like a good idea! =P let's go with that!!!!!!!!!!!
IC: Burningstar was barely concious. he felt so alone, and so close to letting one of his lives slip away.
then, he heard light paws move, and stop in front of the den he was in. he knew that no cat would come in, in case they catch the same sickness. even the med cat woudn't come near.
his eyes was blurred. the only things he could do was listen, and, although barely, scent. it was........
the world slipped away from him.
he couldn't feel his body. there was nothingness for a little while before he felt coolness, although not nearly the same as in the real world. he has gone through this before; once quite a couple of moons ago. there was the same sensation of being somewhere beautiful and clean, where nothing evil every happened. everything was pure.
he took in what was in front of him as cats of starclan appeared slowly before him. they didn't say a thing. there was only a clear pool in front of him, which he looked down into. and there he saw his own lifeless body. and right outside... was...
Burningstar's head jerked up as new life poured into his body, filling his bones with the same purity as he felt in his short visit to StarClan. just that second he knew the name of the cat he saw. "Foxcloud!" his voice was strong, like before he had the disease. although his pelt was still matted, all evidence of sickness was gone, and his eyes were filled with the same stars and brightness that was there before.

Moonlitpaw's soulders hunched. "Guess she isn't coming." She mumbled unhappily as she followed Firemist out of the camp.

OOC: Okay! ^^
IC: The smell of sickness was strong, and the she-cat dared to near the entrence. She could feel the stares of cats all around, as they watched and waited.....would she go in? Suddenly the smell of sickness flushed to death, and the dark ginger she-cat stiffined. "Burningstar..." Foxcloud purred to herself softly.....it seemed like a moon had passed before life was once more in the cave. Had Burningstar lied about how many lives he had? Then a cry came out from within. Her name! Foxcloud raced forward into the den, ignoreing the fact that any normal cat would wait to be invited in. "Burningstar!" the she-cat cried out, worry in her voice. Was this small light going to end too? Darkness was before her...within it, was the dark shape of Burningstar. Life was once more in his eyes. "Is everything well?" Foxcloud purred, looking up and down her leader. The worry in her voice clearly trying to be supressed so she could sound calmer.

When Moonlitpaw heard the noise in the camp, she mewed a quick "Wait," to her mentor and raced back. What she saw surprised her. Foxcloud was in Burningstar's den! "Foxcloud!" she mewed. "Wait for me!"

Burningstar slowly got up, his bright green eyes settled on Foxcloud for the whole time. although he has new life, and any trace of disease was gone from his body now, his limbs and muscles were still weak from lying in the same position for so many suns. he knew that FireClan's been missing a deputy for quite a while now, and since he's been sick all this time the clan was without a deputy. and... since this experience sent him only one cat... he knew Foxcloud would be the one. besides, he saw her image in the pool of STarClan, didn't he? that must have meant SOMETHING.
"Foxcloud," he meowed slowly. he knew that it wouldn't be right to appoint a deputy without discussing with his senior warriors, but this might've been StarClan's choice as well. he paused for a while. "we're going to have a ceremony for our new FireClan deputy." he purred.
OOC: how about he saw her image because Starclan's sending him a warning that she's going to betray the clan later on? =P what'd u think?

Moonlitpaw peered in the entrance. Burningstar was getting up! "Hey everyone!" she called. "Burningstar is alright!"

OOC: Interesting! X3
IC: Foxcloud was stiff as Burningstar rose strongly before her. The dark ginger, almost red, she-cat now felt slightly mouse-brained to have asked him if he was alright. Stiffly, the warrior stood before him, and answered plainly; "Yes, Burningstar."

Moonlitpaw ducked into the den, and saw Foxcloud with the risen Burningstar. After noticing that the stench of disiese was gone from her leader, she carefully walked forward. "Foxcloud?" she mewed. "I am here."
When her warrior friend did not answer, she licked her fur gently. "Are you mad at me?" she asked. "The warrior code says that we must obey our mentors, and even though Firemist isn't your favorite cat, she is my mentor and I must obey her."
She sighed and pressed her fur against Foxcloud's when she still did not claim a response. "I like you both, but Firemist has more power over me then you do. I won't forget that you wre my first friend, and that you told me tips about, err, stuff." Moonlitpaw was uncomfortable about talking about Berrypaw and her problems. "Yet Burningstar gave my mentoring to Firemist, even though there was no proper ceremony, he tried. I have enjoyed my time so far with you, and hope to do so in the future, but please, respecting Firemist is the best why to earn her good intentions. I know that she wants you to like her, and tries to like you, but it only will happen through respect. As you once said to me, 'Have you tried anything other then tossing your fur around?'"
