Tribe of Erupting Volcanoes/Roleplay/Archive 10

(I order a secret child >:D) Holly ordered Creekshine out of camp. "I hope  you understand.   I want   to understand.   I'm   sorry."   -Peridot, Steven Universe  19:09, November 13, 2015 (UTC)

(secret child :D) Smoke hunted near the Falling Stars border. -- T h e m i n d   i s j u s t   a c o m p l i c a t e d   m a c h i n e   21:43, November 13, 2015 (UTC)

After talking with Creekshine, Holly led the deputy back into camp, a silver tabby kit hanging in the tom's jaws. The Healer leaped upon a rock and yowled, "Tribemates, Creekshine and I have found an abandoned newborn kit in our territory." "I hope  you understand.   I want   to understand.   I'm   sorry."   -Peridot, Steven Universe  21:45, November 13, 2015 (UTC)

Shadow's gaze narrowed at the kit that Creekshine was holding in his jaws, and shuddered. Reminds me of Rain... she thought with a shudder, remembering the Tribe's previous deputy before she had gotten herself killed. -- T h e m i n d   i s j u s t   a c o m p l i c a t e d   m a c h i n e   22:10, November 13, 2015 (UTC)

"His name is Jay Flying in Moonlight, and I have made the decision of training him as a Healer." Holly glanced at Creekshine, flicking her tail for the deputy to join her. "Please treat him with respect." She whispered something in the tom's ear, the deputy resyponding by placing the kit down on the rock. "I hope  you understand.   I want   to understand.   I'm   sorry."   -Peridot, Steven Universe  22:13, November 13, 2015 (UTC)

Lava let out a yawn, and wrapped his tail around himself quietly. 16:36, November 15, 2015 (UTC)

With a long sigh, Creekshine guided Jay down, Holly quickly following. The deputy and Healer locked gazes for a second, a wordless conversation flashing through their eyes. Meanwhile, Jay pressed against Creekshine's leg, the comfort of its warmth making him feel better, though afterward he shifted away from it. The fur on his felt..weird, it seemed, to him. "I hope  you understand.   I want   to understand.   I'm   sorry."   -Peridot, Steven Universe  16:50, November 15, 2015 (UTC)

Sun leaned agast Red as she sat between her aunt and mother, her eyes closed from the sorrow from not long ago. She missed her brother, she truly did, but he was in his right home now, the home he's one day rule. 01:53, November 19, 2015 (UTC)

Now done with the wordless conversation with Holly, Creekshine guided Jay around the camp. The silver tabby tom was clearly nervous about meeting his Tribemates, holding in a flinch as they walked up to Red and Sun. "Hey, this is Jay, our sucessor as Healer." The deputy spoke first, with Jay adding on quietly, "and my parents are a mystery." "I hope  you understand.   I want   to understand.   I'm   sorry."   -Peridot, Steven Universe  02:03, November 19, 2015 (UTC)

"Oh, hey," Sun muttered, Red and Crimson dipping their heads in greeting while Sun pushed herself closer to Crimson. 02:06, November 19, 2015 (UTC)

Jay slid behind the deputy's tail, the nervous kit flattening himself to the ground. Meanwhile, Creekshine let the tomkit hide behind his tail, the warmth from the kit brushing his tail. "Everything okay with you guys?" "I hope  you understand.   I want   to understand.   I'm   sorry."   -Peridot, Steven Universe  02:22, November 19, 2015 (UTC)

Before her other family members could speak, Red pulled them all closer. "Fine." She replied quickly through a protective, narrowed gaze. 02:24, November 19, 2015 (UTC)

Creekshine's eyes darkened for a second, the tom's gaze not as bright as it had been before. "Okay then.." He didn't wish to ask any more questions, just standing and flicking his tail. "Come, Jay." "I hope  you understand.   I want   to understand.   I'm   sorry."   -Peridot, Steven Universe  02:42, November 19, 2015 (UTC)

"...Mom..." Sun began, not looking at any of the ruddy mollies beside her, "...when can I visit you-know-who?" 03:17, November 19, 2015 (UTC)

Jay let out a small moan as the deputy went away, going after him. However, the young kit couldn't stop himself from glancing back at the ruddy tabbies, an unreadable yet hurt look in his blue eyes. "I-I think something's wrong with them," he whispered in Creekshine's ear. "I hope  you understand.   I want   to understand.   I'm   sorry."   -Peridot, Steven Universe  01:46, November 20, 2015 (UTC)

Smoke returned to camp, a large squirrel in his jaws. -- T h e m i n d   i s j u s t   a c o m p l i c a t e d   m a c h i n e   04:09, November 20, 2015 (UTC)

Creekshine froze for only a second as Jay's words sunk in. I think something's wrong with them. The words kept replaying in his head as he lead Jay to be checked by Holly, the kit squirming everytime the Healer brushed him. "I hope  you understand.   I want   to understand.   I'm   sorry."   -Peridot, Steven Universe  01:57, November 21, 2015 (UTC)

The two slender mollies exchanged glances before gazing back at Sun. "Sun, I...that's a few days of traveling...." 02:00, November 21, 2015 (UTC)

Holly was aware of Jay's squirming, but she kept checking him. Creekshine, meanwhile, stared over the edge of the cliff, his eyes on the ground below. "I hope  you understand.   I want   to understand.   I'm   sorry."   -Peridot, Steven Universe  02:06, November 21, 2015 (UTC)

Sun quickly broke away from her aunt and mother, her eyes filled with pain. "You just don't understand, he's family, I love him!" Crimson was quick to rise tho her paws, wrapping her body around her daughter. "C'mon, my niece, walk with me so we may talk." 02:11, November 21, 2015 (UTC)

Creekshine was thinking hard, a small headache forming in his head. "I hope  you understand.   I want   to understand.   I'm   sorry."   -Peridot, Steven Universe  02:15, November 21, 2015 (UTC)

Crimson took in a deep breath as she walked with her daughter, just the two of them, all alone.."I understand your pain, sweetie, I felt the same when I needed to act as your aunt and not your mother." 02:18, November 21, 2015 (UTC)

Creekshine's headache grew to a migrane, the deputy closing his eyes. "I hope  you understand.   I want   to understand.   I'm   sorry."   -Peridot, Steven Universe  02:22, November 21, 2015 (UTC)

Sun looked away. "...I'm still hurt by that, mom. You could've been our mother, you could've said someone else was our father..." Crimson shook her head. "I couldn't have refused such an oppertunity for your mother. She can't have kits of her own, but now, she did. She had her niece and nephew." 02:25, November 21, 2015 (UTC)

Creekshine shook his head before turning and walking to the Soldiers' den to sleep. "I hope  you understand.   I want   to understand.   I'm   sorry."   -Peridot, Steven Universe  13:31, November 21, 2015 (UTC)

Sun pressed her face against her mother's shoulder, closing her eyes. "I just feel so...lonely, mom...Like, I have nobody, like my whole life is just one big lie." 18:03, November 21, 2015 (UTC)

Jay flattened his ears as Holly brushed his flank as he headed out of the Healer's den. He walked inside the empty softpaw den and sat to think. "I hope  you understand.   I want   to understand.   I'm   sorry."   -Peridot, Steven Universe  18:08, November 21, 2015 (UTC)

Crimson curled her tail around her daughter before sighing. "But it was for the best, sweetie." 18:13, November 21, 2015 (UTC)

Jay wondered about his parents. ''Am I just the kit of a loner? Or are my parents here?'' "I hope  you understand.   I want   to understand.   I'm   sorry."   -Peridot, Steven Universe  18:17, November 21, 2015 (UTC)

(flame, if he's dying in a fire, Red's not going with him, that's how Weston and Silver died) Red blinked. 22:06, November 29, 2015 (UTC)

(I want them to die together, so I'll just delete that post. How should they die?) 22:08, November 29, 2015 (UTC)

(they can go for a walk and be attacked by a rogue...he can try to save her, but she'll be bleeding to death, and the rogue can beat the snot out of him, then he can die with her) 22:11, November 29, 2015 (UTC)

(alright, sounds good. in lr&rgs rp, then? and who shall kill this lovely couple? >:D) 22:11, November 29, 2015 (UTC)

Lava padded out of camp, his tail-tip flicking. He paused, an unfamiliar scent flaring at his nostrils. 22:30, November 29, 2015 (UTC)

Red walked alongside her mate, noticing that he was slowing. "Something wrong?" 22:36, November 29, 2015 (UTC)

Lava shuddered, and quickly shook his head. "Just scent something odd," He meowed, lifting a paw and beginning to stroll forward once again. 22:37, November 29, 2015 (UTC)

"Like what? A threat...?" Red asked, starting to grow a bit nervous. 22:38, November 29, 2015 (UTC)

Lava lifted his head, his gaze still focused on the ground. "I suppose... but we can handle it." 22:40, November 29, 2015 (UTC)

Red flattened her ears and stiffened. "A...Are you sure...?" 22:42, November 29, 2015 (UTC)

Lava nodded slowly, his ears pinned against his skull. "I'm positive." 22:43, November 29, 2015 (UTC)

"Well, o-" Red was cut off by her own cry as she was tackled by a pile of fur, a tom sinking his claws into her chest as he bowled her over, snapping at her neck. 22:47, November 29, 2015 (UTC)

Lava gasped and quickly unsheathed his claws. He leapt onto the tom's back and sunk his claws into his shoulders, yowling rapidly. 01:27, November 30, 2015 (UTC)

As the rogue's fangs finally connected with the ruddy molly's neck, she squealed in pain. By the time he was ripped off, it was too late, Red was already on her way to the Tribe of Endless Hunting. Clinging onto her life, she watched her mate fight with the attacker. 01:30, November 30, 2015 (UTC)

Lava sunk his claws in deeper, and felt himself trembling down to the ground. Clenching his teeth, her swirved around and bit into the tom's scruff, feeling his/her blood fall onto his paws. 01:37, November 30, 2015 (UTC)

The rogue squealed in pain, backing away and shaking his head rapidly before springing back at Lava, snapping his jaws at anything and everything he could. 01:40, November 30, 2015 (UTC)

Lava fell back with a shriek, watching blood coil around his mate's now dead body. He limped over beside her, pressing his nose into her cold fur. ''Tribe of Endless Hunting... why did you have to take her!? '' 01:43, November 30, 2015 (UTC)

Bored with his victims, the rogue now stalked off, his tail tip twitching. 01:44, November 30, 2015 (UTC)

Lava passed out from blood loss and died. 03:09, November 30, 2015 (UTC)

(chaosssss) Creekshine wondered where Red and Lava were, so he followed their scents out of the camp. Holly spotted the deputy and called, "Be careful, I can sense danger." The tom glanced back. "I'll be fine, they're probably just lost." He couldn't help but lock eyes with Jay for a moment, and he saw terror in the kit's eyes, as if something horrible had happened.

The tom went out of camp without another word, following the scent of the couple to a hollow, letting out a large gasp of shock and grief as he spotted the two deceased bodies of Red and Lava. ''No! Why did you take them? Why?!?''

Creekshine trudged back in with the limp beings, knowing he had to stand, had to give them confidence. "Tribemates, an unfortunte death has happened. Red and Lava are dead, found in a puddle of blood." I  cou ld   ev en   lea rn   how   to  L O  V  E    03:16, November 30, 2015 (UTC)

" Impossible!" Fish shrieked, ears pinned to his skull and tail lashing. G r y f f i n d o r  13:13, November 30, 2015 (UTC)

"Shock, yes, but whoever did this...they have done a terrible deed." Creekshine sighed. "But I stand before you now, and I promise, I'll try my best to recover from the loss of two brave cats. I am your leader, and I will do my best to make you all happy." I  cou ld   ev en   lea rn   how   to  L O  V  E    16:57, November 30, 2015 (UTC)

Fish nodded, and then bowed his head in respectful grief. He'd admired Lava and Red, how could they just be... gone? G r y f f i n d o r  17:02, November 30, 2015 (UTC)

"I now need a deputy." The new leader scanned the crowd. (Any preferences?) I   cou ld   ev en   lea rn   how   to  L O  V  E    18:39, November 30, 2015 (UTC)

(nay. i'd pick based on personality, if i were you though). Fish's ears pricked. Despite his sorrow, he was eager to see who the deputy would be. ''I'm betting on... Crimson, maybe? '' G r y f f  i n d o r  18:46, November 30, 2015 (UTC)

After thinking, Creekshine made his decision. "Crimson, would you take the job of deputy and joining me by my side?" His eyes were serious, and he blinked at the ruddy tabby. I  cou ld   ev en   lea rn   how   to  L O  V  E    19:25, November 30, 2015 (UTC)

Crimson was slow to respond, very very slow. She simply starred at the ground in shock and terror, while her little Sun pressed into her side, burying her face into her real mother's ruddy fur. Crimson wasn't shocked about being deputy, no, no, she was terrified with the sudden death of her sister, the only non-lie that she had left her in life. "...I....accept..." 21:41, November 30, 2015 (UTC)

Fish felt bad for Crimson. ''Imagine what it must be like to loose your only sister. ''He looked around for Moon and snorted. ''That good-for-nothing-former-apprentice is probably goofing around somewhere. '' G r y f f  i n d o r  21:45, November 30, 2015 (UTC)

Her gaze dull and dark, Crimson remained still as her daughter pressed closer into her side, squeezing her eyes shut in the process. The new deputy was still for a few minutes before taking in a breath, shakily rising to her paws. "...Come on, dear, let's go pay our respects..." 21:47, November 30, 2015 (UTC)

Fish awkwardly watched them go. He wanted to pay his respects, too, but decided that they needed time alone with their dead family. The tabby sighed and rose to his paws, trotting away from the meeting place and out where he could see the stars. ''Lava, Red... you were good cats. The Tribe will miss you, very, very much. '' G r y f f  i n d o r  21:49, November 30, 2015 (UTC)

Rather than touch her nose to their pelts, Crimson toppled down beside her sister's bloody body, burying herself into her fur, while Sun did the same. "You two were the only ones to know..." 21:51, November 30, 2015 (UTC)

His heart almost broke inside as he picked up the faintest echoes from the words, and saw Crimson sink to the ground beside Red's still, lifeless form. ''Why does death happen? '' G r y f f  i n d o r  21:53, November 30, 2015 (UTC)

Sun closed her eyes, taking in her aunt's scent before sighing softly. ''For the longest time, these two dead cats were my parents, the ones who raised me... 21:55, November 30, 2015 (UTC)''

''I knew Lava almost all my life. Ever since I came into this Tribe, he'd been there. He and Red, insperable. It- it can't be possible. How can they just ''die? Fish continued to look up at the stars, a cold breeze blowing around him. Shadows fell long and, for once, there didn't seem to be a reason to be happy. G r y f f i n d o r  21:57, November 30, 2015 (UTC)

Grief clouded Creekshine's gaze as he watched Crimson. She's lost her parents and her sister...at least she has her niece... He leaped off the rock to pay his respects, and he silently vowed to bury them himself, with Crimson. Bowing his head, the leader pressed himself to the ground, resting his head on Lava's dead body. ''Why did they both have to go? I've just basically lost my wisdom..'' At a loss for words, he sat to greive silently, burying his face in his former leader's fur for the last time. I  cou ld   ev en   lea rn   how   to  L O  V  E    22:05, November 30, 2015 (UTC)

Yet... maybe there was a reason to be happy. Maybe, maybe Lava and Red were in a better place. ''I know it's terrible, I know that I wish they were still here, and that won't change it. But maybe they're happier up there. At least they don't have to suffer. But know they're seperated from those they love by time, form, and who knows what. '' G r y f f  i n d o r  22:09, November 30, 2015 (UTC)

River sat off to the side her head was lowered, she didn't really know the leader but she was still sad. The long furred cat watched the cats sadly as she payed their respects. --Bluestar340

Fish dropped his head slowly before returning to the camp. He spotted River and, wanting company for once, went down to side beside her. " Sad?" G r y f f i n d o r  23:47, November 30, 2015 (UTC)

River nodded and glanced up at him. "Yes. Are you?" She asked quietly, not wanting to disturb anyone else. --Bluestar340

Fish nodded, looking at the grieving forms of Crimson and Sun. " I didn't know him personally, but I'm sad. He was a good leader, you know? Wise, caring, foresighted... he and Red were like soulmates. I've known Lava all my life in the Tribe. And now he's just... gone." G r y f f i n d o r  23:51, November 30, 2015 (UTC)

"Yeah.." She whispered with a small nod. --Bluestar340

Fish said nothing, curling his tail around his paws and letting out a huff. G r y f f l e p u ff  01:39, December 1, 2015 (UTC)

"What's your problem?" She asked with a flick of her bushy tail. --Bluestar340

(whoops, i'm tom-less here...-shrugs-) Crimson slowly helped carry her sister's body, while Sun attempted to follow. "Stay here, sweetie..." The young ruddy tabby held back, a frown on her maw as she watched her true mother leave with the body of her sister. Never before had Sun seen Crimson so distressed, the way she was acting made her look happy when she gave up her son and her family found out about her incident with Eagle. 03:12, December 1, 2015 (UTC)

Creekshine dragged Lava's body out for burial, scraping dirt over the deceased leader's body. After finishing, he sat near the sight of the burial, resting his head on his paws. I  cou ld   ev en   lea rn   how   to  L O  V  E    03:41, December 1, 2015 (UTC)

It took Crimson a long time to bury the body of her sister, and once she did so, she simply starred at the mound of earth. 03:44, December 1, 2015 (UTC)

Creekshine dozed off, only to wake in a dream of his ancestors. I  cou ld   ev en   lea rn   how   to  L O  V  E    03:49, December 1, 2015 (UTC)

Crimson returned to camp quickly, so she could spend time with her mournful daughter. 03:50, December 1, 2015 (UTC)

Creekshine walked with his ancestors in his dreams, waking refreshed. ''No regrets, no surrender. I'm going to be a great leader!'' I   cou ld   ev en   lea rn   how   to  L O  V  E    03:59, December 1, 2015 (UTC)

"...mom...? Are you alright?" Sun asked Crimson in a silent and low voice, her eyes dull, but continuing to shine with worry for her true mother. The older ruddy soldier closed her eyes before wrapping her tail around Sun and pulling her closer. "...I don't know..." 04:02, December 1, 2015 (UTC)

Creekshine walked inside the camp, confidence brimming in his gaze. I  cou ld   ev en   lea rn   how   to  L O  V  E    04:12, December 1, 2015 (UTC)

"...my problem?" Fish said, confused. " Hey, you want to go hunting? It'd take my mind off things a bit." G r y f f l e p u ff  01:18, December 2, 2015 (UTC)

"Um sure I guess.." She murmured. The she-cat quickly stood up and stretched "Shall we go now?" She asked quietly. --Bluestar340

Fish nodded, his orange-tabby tail raised high as he quickened his pace to a trot. G r y f f l e p u ff  01:32, December 2, 2015 (UTC)

River quickly dashed after him and went out the camp entrance. She stopped ans turned, waiting for him to come out. --Bluestar340

Fish loped after her, on the alert and happy. He raised his muzzle and let out an ecstatic purr. " This is great! C'mon, what do you want to hunt?" G r y f f l e p u ff  02:17, December 2, 2015 (UTC)

"Up to you." She murmured. River stretched again and shook out her fur. --Bluestar340

" Oh, oh, let's try... rabbits? Or hare? I know a really good place where they always seem to make their newleaf nests. I know it's bad to hunt young- they need to grow and expand the population- but rabbits are delicous. Follow me!" With another flick of his tail, Fish hurried into a trot. He led River away from camp and to a open-type plain-type place. G r y f f l e p u ff  02:32, December 2, 2015 (UTC)

River nodded quickly and padded quickly after him. "So, we've never talked.. why did you all of the sudden talk to me now?" She meowed. --Bluestar340

" Good question," Fish said, tipping his head to one side. He then shrugged. "... and I don't have the answer! Our Tribe's so small, you would've thought I would've spoken to you on more than one occasion. But... I'm actually a pretty introverted individual. So it's no surprise, really." G r y f f l e p u ff  02:40, December 2, 2015 (UTC)

River nodded curtly. "I see.." She meowed quietly. She looked around calmly and didn't say anything else.--Bluestar340

Slightly awkward, Fish cleared his throat. " Shall we hunt? Do you want to hunt together, or should we split up?" G r y f f l e p u ff  02:55, December 2, 2015 (UTC)

"Hares are pretty big so I think we should hunt together.." She murmured. --Bluestar340

Creekshine sat alone, overlooking the cliffside. ''What was that secret that Crimson's family was talking about? Is it something about Moon and Sun?'' Whatever it was, he vowed, he would never be mad at his deputy for it - whatever she did wasn't what mattered. What mattered was the moment, the very life they lived. I  cou ld   ev en   lea rn   how   to  L O  V  E    00:09, December 4, 2015 (UTC)

"Alright, do you smell one?" G r y f f l e p u ff  22:34, December 4, 2015 (UTC)

River scented the air and shook her head. "No, not right now but I'm sure one will pop up soon.." She murmured. --Bluestar340

" I smell one!" Fish's ears pricked as he hissed. " Here, you go down that way and I'll chase it to you!" with that, the tabby sped off after the hare in long strides. G r y f f l e p u ff  22:39, December 4, 2015 (UTC)

River nodded and dashed off to be ready to catch the hare. --Bluestar340

After sending out a hunting patrol, Crimson slinked into the shadows to continue with her sulking. Sun, meanwhile, raced after the hunting patrol she had been assigned to attend. 05:28, December 6, 2015 (UTC)

Creekshine spotted his deputy sulking, heading over to her. "Are you okay?" Worry was visible in his green gaze, the leader's body tense. He couldn’t bear to see his deputy sulking, not because he wanted her to do well, but because he wanted to see what was troubling her. I  cou ld   ev en   lea rn   how   to  L O  V  E    21:52, December 10, 2015 (UTC)

"My sister just died, half of me just died," she replied darkly, clearly in no mood to be distrubed. 21:39, December 12, 2015 (UTC)

Mixed feelings erupted into Creekshine's stomach. Anger, greif, depression, and an urge. My family...Lava...they're all gone... Greif hollowed his gaze and made his heart heavy. "Crimson," he said, sighing and digging his claws into the earth. "I lost my entire family and Lava." He paused, staring at her with his green gaze recovering a little. "But I have made it through, past pain and depression, and I've made it here." His mind was focused on the point. "I know you can do this. I know you'll get through this. Keep going. You can get past this pain and loss, just as I have." I  cou ld   ev en   lea rn   how   to  L O  V  E    21:51, December 12, 2015 (UTC)

Crimson glared at the tom. "You haven't gone through what I've gone through, you aren't me. I'm in no mood for some pump-up-lift-your-spirits speech." 21:53, December 12, 2015 (UTC)

Okay then... "I know you'll get past this," the leader muttered, turning and leaping on a rock to stare over the cliff. I  cou ld   ev en   lea rn   how   to  L O  V  E    22:02, December 12, 2015 (UTC)

Angry and annoyed, Crimson sunk her claws into the soft earth. Get over the death of my sister?! The ruddy she-cat glared after the tom, growling to herself in her rage. 22:04, December 12, 2015 (UTC)

Pink lept onto a rock and sat in the sun, purring. 🍁Patch   feather🍁   22:09, December 12, 2015 (UTC)

Pyre shifted awkwardly as he watched Crimson. Note to self: don't get on Crimson's bad side...22:10, December 12, 2015 (UTC)

Creekshine gazed over the cliff, his eyes full of grief. They all died...I lost every family member I ever had. He remembered that tragic day, the day his parents had died in a rockfall that had wounded him badly. I miss you both...please, please, make Crimson feel better... He then recalled the losing of his two siblings. He choked on greif, coughing a bit before resting his head on his paws. Never had he remembered the rockfall so greatly, and it was like living it all over again... I  cou ld   ev en   lea rn   how   to  L O  V  E    23:09, December 12, 2015 (UTC)

Fish nodded to River, then brought his paws down on the outside of the den. Like a bolt of lightning, the hare shot out, eyes terrified. It flung itself out of the hole and in the direction of River, while Fish chased it, making sure it didn't veer to far off course. G r y f f l e p u ff  15:45, December 13, 2015 (UTC)

Creekshine buried his face into his paws. The rockfall was coming back to his mind all too quickly. It was so vivid...

''"Mother! Father! No!" The screams of the tom couldn't stop the couple. They were going to get the last few kits out of the nursery, the ones who had hid. Creekshine paced hopelessly outside the cave, hoping they would make it out okay. Several long moments, and at last came his parents. The rocks were starting to fall, and the two sharpclaws dodged boulders until...''

''Bam! A huge boulder crashed onto them, bones snapping. "No!" Creekshine howled, running to them. "D-Don't leave me! Not now!" He watched their heads sag and the painful wince remain. "No..."'' I   cou ld   ev en   lea rn   how   to  L O  V  E    17:04, December 13, 2015 (UTC)

Pyre went hunting. Crimson eventually went to sleep, remaining in her sulky/angry mood. 19:18, December 13, 2015 (UTC)

Creekshine shook away horrible memories. No, no...She'll be fine...Just hope... But even in his own mind, he had doubts. I  cou ld   ev en   lea rn   how   to  L O  V  E    20:26, December 13, 2015 (UTC)

Scarlet tumbled around with Dash. Rain watched with horrified eyes as they crashed into Pink Petals legs, knocking her to the ground. She got to her paws and glared at the kits. 🍁Patch   feather🍁   21:17, December 17, 2015 (UTC)

The deputy was acting what seemed like a whole lot better the very next day. She remained quiet, but didn't have her random outbursts of sadness and moodyness. Pyre sat by the freshkill pile, the tom dozing off. 00:17, December 18, 2015 (UTC)

Fish happily watched the prey head straight towards her claws. Lost souls in  r e v e r i e 00:19, December 18, 2015 (UTC)

River quickly snapped it's neck and dropped it on the ground. "There we go." She meowed. --Bluestar340

(it's almost time for my big plot yessss, i'm so excitedddd) Jay worked with Holly, the Healer-to-be glancing up as Creekshine walked past. The leader was looking depressed - something he didn't want to be. His head was down and he headed out of the cave without a word. Jay stared at him, worry clouding his gaze. Poor Creekshine... I   cou ld   ev en   lea rn   how   to  L O  V  E    01:04, December 18, 2015 (UTC)

Pyre, who was still struggling to fit in with his tribemates, fell asleep. Crimson sent out a border patrol before settling down near the camp's exit. She was getting worried, as she hadn't seen young Sun all day. 01:06, December 18, 2015 (UTC)

Jay went outside to watch the sky. I  cou ld   ev en   lea rn   how   to  L O  V  E    01:10, December 18, 2015 (UTC)

Pink let out a low growl as the kits ran off. --- Dash sat down heavily and let out a loud sigh. "Gee I wonder if someone will play with us," he said, aloud. 🍁Patch   feather🍁   03:19, December 18, 2015 (UTC)

Now very nervous, Crimson rose to her paws tho search for Sun. 04:02, December 18, 2015 (UTC)

"Awesome!" Fish chipred, skipping around her. " That was a great kill, and..." he trailed off, finding himself feeling really... odd. Lost souls in  r e v e r i e 04:13, December 18, 2015 (UTC)

Jay watched the clouds. Hmm, that one looks like a sparrow... I   cou ld   ev en   lea rn   how   to  L O  V  E    10:32, December 18, 2015 (UTC)

Dash let out a hiss. "No ones even looking at us! do they realize who we are?" he questioned his littermates. Scarlet shook her head. "Probably not." Rain shifted where he sat. "Uh.... who are we?" Dash whipped his tail. "Future leaders of course!" he let out a proud purr. "You don't even know if we will," Rain pointed out. Scarlet flicked her tail. "Well, come oh, who couldn't pick us as a leader, I mean... we're pretty awesome." Rain rolled his eyes. "Whatever you say..." 🍁Patch   feather🍁   15:00, December 18, 2015 (UTC)

Creekshine hunted alone, a little depressed. I  cou ld   ev en   lea rn   how   to  L O  V  E    21:13, December 18, 2015 (UTC)

Fear shown in the deputy's eyes. "Sun?" Crimson called out as the wind picked up slightly, ruffling the she-cat's ruddy pelt. "Sweetie? Where are you?" She called out once more, sniffing around for her daughter. 21:15, December 18, 2015 (UTC)

What was this feeling? It was a tinngling sensation spread through him in a most curious manner as he looked at River. Lost souls in  r e v e r i e 22:23, December 18, 2015 (UTC)

Creekshine, despite being alert, tripped over a fairly large stone, landing on his face at one point. I  cou ld   ev en   lea rn   how   to  L O  V  E    00:41, December 19, 2015 (UTC)

Crimson flattened her ears. Nothing. 02:24, December 19, 2015 (UTC)

"River..." Fish began awkwardly, without knowing what to say. He really, really found the she-cat interested, tough, and admirable. He, well, kind of liked her. The tom changed tactics. With a slightly furtive look, he said: "C'mon. Bet you can't beat me back to camp." Lost souls in  r e v e r i e 04:15, December 19, 2015 (UTC)

Suddenly Jay could hear Holly coughing, the tom rushing to his mentor's side despite his fear of touching her fur. "Holly! Sit down, you're sick!" I  cou ld   ev en   lea rn   how   to  L O  V  E    02:02, December 20, 2015 (UTC)

"Okay, so what are we doing?" Scarlet asked, sitting down heavily. Rain shrugged. Dash looked around. "I don't know..." he mewed. "Maybe we can ask someone to take us out for a walk?" Rain suddenly peeped. Scarlet rolled her eyes. "You think they'll say yes?" Rain shrugged. "Maybe." 🍁Patch   feather🍁   00:10, December 21, 2015 (UTC)

Holly shook her head. "Jay, I'm fine..." The Healer's chest heaved and a coughing fit escaped her throat. "I'm going to die soon anyway, but there is a secret you must know." The silver tabby froze. Was his mentor going to die tonight?!? The tabby tom couldn't focus as he sorted herbs. Something was going to happen, and Jay didn't wish to know what it was. I  cou ld   ev en   lea rn   how   to  L O  V  E    02:47, December 22, 2015 (UTC)

Crimson kept searching. 02:54, December 22, 2015 (UTC)

Later on, Creekshine returned to camp, only to find the Healer growing closer and closer to her doom...At last she was on her final breaths, Jay hurriedly trying to save her. "Holly, no!" The tom slunk down near his mentor as she heaved in a few more precious breaths of air, whispering, "Jay, your father...your father is the leader, and I am your mother, and always remember that...always remember that we love you and would never hurt you..." As her last breath was taken, her yellow eyes flew open for a single second before they faded into her lifeless body. Take care of your father, came her gentle voice in Jay's ear. "Creekshine..!" I  cou ld   ev en   lea rn   how   to  L O  V  E    03:05, December 22, 2015 (UTC)

"Or, you know, we could just leave by our selves," Rain mewed, hitting himself in the face along with an eye roll. 🍁Patch   feather🍁   03:14, December 22, 2015 (UTC)

Jay grieved silently after calling his leader's - no, his father's - name, burying his face in Holly's soft fur. Mother...Father... I   cou ld   ev en   lea rn   how   to  L O  V  E    03:30, December 22, 2015 (UTC)

And there she was, bloody and battered, curled up in a tight ball with a quivering body. The deputy raced towards her daughter, falling to her news and resting her head on Sun's ruddy back. "Oh my dear daughter, oh my dear daughter....! What happened, what did this to you?!" 03:36, December 22, 2015 (UTC)

(that yoga room made me more sweaty than a 5k) Fish returned to camp, following River, and thinking over his strange feelings. Lost souls in  r e v e r i e 03:57, December 22, 2015 (UTC)

Creekshine froze at the calling of his son. She's gone, she must have told him... The tom could sense danger and went over to the new Healer. "Jay...We've got to keep going, something's wrong, I can feel it.." The tabby couldn't stop a sob, but he stood by his father anyway. "Father.." I  cou ld   ev en   lea rn   how   to  L O  V  E    03:59, December 22, 2015 (UTC)

"M....Mom?" "Sun, oh my dear daughter, what happened?!" Sun narrowed her eyes slightly, trying to recall the event. Her face expression simply went blank. "...I dunno." 04:03, December 22, 2015 (UTC)

Jay and Creekshine headed out to look over the cliff, both scanning for danger. I  cou ld   ev en   lea rn   how   to  L O  V  E    04:25, December 22, 2015 (UTC)

Shaking her head, Crimson helped her daughter to her paws. "Regardless, we've gotta get you back, and get you patched up." 04:28, December 22, 2015 (UTC)

"Creekshine.." Jay couldn't stop the question. "Why was I even born? My mother, a Healer, and you, the leader?" His father sighed. "It's a very long story." The younger tom moved closer. "Tell me. I wish to know." I  cou ld   ev en   lea rn   how   to  L O  V  E    21:21, December 22, 2015 (UTC)

Crimson allowed Sun to lean on her shoulder for support, and once her daughter did so, she guided her back to camp. 21:14, December 26, 2015 (UTC)

(storytime, here's exactly what was planned~) "Well..." The leader and father glanced down at his paws. "Holly and I...we worked this out before you were even born. Holly wanted kits, and she wanted a kit to take her place. She picked out a tom - which was me - and eventually she and I were close when she told me that she was going to have kits." He sighed, pulling his son closer. "She was having pains one day but didn't complain. Several hours later she ordered me out of camp, where you were born." His son was silent, accepting his father's touch when he normally would have spooked. "We spent some time out there, making sure she was strong and hiding the scent of milk. I remember telling the Tribe that she was looking for a herb...She and I came back with you a few days later." I  cou ld   ev en   lea rn   how   to  L O  V  E    00:09, December 27, 2015 (UTC)

Crimson lay her daughter in her nest slowly, stepping back to give her a worried glance as she checked over her body. Sun was pretty well beaten-up, her worst wound being a long cut on her delicate shoulder. Just looked at it made the deputy cringe. 00:24, December 27, 2015 (UTC)

"Oh father, don't..." Jay pressed himself to his father's fur. "It's not your fault that she died. I tried saving her, but don't blame yourself." Creekshine sighed. "Just like your mother...Let's get going, I think I saw Crimson with an injured Sun." With that, the two toms turned back, heading in the direction of Crimson. "Crimson...?" I  cou ld   ev en   lea rn   how   to  L O  V  E    00:36, December 27, 2015 (UTC)

The ruddy molly glanced over her shoulder at her leader, her eyes growing round with faint fright. "Lava, I need Holly, my d- niece is hurt." The deputy quickly corrected herself. She'd take her secret to her grave. 00:45, December 27, 2015 (UTC)

"Holly...Holly passed away." Creekshine flicked his tail for Jay to get herbs. "And hurry back!" he called over his shoulder. "Jay has taken over as Healer with all of her knowledge." I  cou ld   ev en   lea rn   how   to  L O  V  E    00:49, December 27, 2015 (UTC)

"Oh..." The deputy trailed off, her gaze flittering to the ground. "...she was a good healer." Crimson then returned her attention to her daughter, who was now gritting her teeth in pain. 00:50, December 27, 2015 (UTC)

Jay quickly came back with herbs, setting them down before getting to his work. ''Oh my gosh, my first emergency! Ugh! Why now?! '' I  cou ld   ev en   lea rn   how   to  L O  V  E    00:57, December 27, 2015 (UTC)

"Hey, be careful with those wounds, they dont' feel very good," Sun replied softly, but at the same time, irritably. Crimson simply stepped back at watched. 00:59, December 27, 2015 (UTC)

Jay grunted in response, aware that this would pretty much define his role. "Stay still." He placed a poultice on the she-cat's wounds, knowing it'd be painful at first, but worth it in the long run. "This has to stay in place, or I'll have to make another one." Creekshine watched the tom work, whispering to Crimson, "She'll be okay, I saw Jay train with Holly, and he's ready for this." I  cou ld   ev en   lea rn   how   to  L O  V  E    14:45, December 27, 2015 (UTC)

"He better be ok," Crimson quickly replied through a narrowed gaze, turning before trotting out of camp. She planned on finding out what happened to her daughter. Sun flattened her ears. "I'm not a kit, I'm not going to run all over the place and tackle everyone now that I'm in pain." 04:11, December 28, 2015 (UTC)

"Still, you should try to stay as still as possible." Jay gritted his teeth, sweat slowly dampening his fur. Creekshine trotted out of camp after his deputy. 'We've got to find what did that to Sun before it becomes a danger."  T r y     t o     b e     a   R A  I  N  B  O  W          i n     s o m e o n e' s     c l o u d   04:18, December 28, 2015 (UTC)

"That's what I'm doing," the ruddy molly responded over her shoulder with a flick of her tail. "Stay back at camp, we need some sort of leadership positioned cat remaining back at camp at all times." "I am." Sun replied darkly. 04:21, December 28, 2015 (UTC)

"O-Okay," Creekshine took a few steps back. "I'll be back here. Be careful, stay safe." Jay grunted again. T r y    t o     b e     a   R A  I  N  B  O  W     &lt;/sup&gt;     i n     s o m e o n e' s     c l o u d   04:26, December 28, 2015 (UTC)

Crimson simply walked on. Sun gaze the new Healer one of her "you are starting to annoy me" looks. 04:28, December 28, 2015 (UTC)

Jay ignored Sun's glare, focusing more on her wounds. T r y    t o     b e     a   R A  I  N  B  O  W          i n     s o m e o n e' s     c l o u d   04:33, December 28, 2015 (UTC)

Shining padded into the clearing her beautiful silver pelt shimmering. M o s s  13:35, December 29, 2015 (UTC)

Jay sighed and kept working. It was a very stressful experience for him, and he hated stress. T r y    t o     b e     a   R A  I  N  B  O  W          i n     s o m e o n e' s     c l o u d   13:40, December 29, 2015 (UTC)

"Can I help you?" Shining padded up to Jay. M o s s  13:58, December 29, 2015 (UTC)

"No, I'm fine," Jay growled, not in a mood to be disturbed from his work. He'd later apoligize for his gruff tone, but if he didn't finish his work, Sun might die, and he wouldn't forgive himself if that happened. T r y    t o     b e     a   R A  I  N  B  O  W          i n     s o m e o n e' s     c l o u d   14:02, December 29, 2015 (UTC)

Shining gave him a fake hurt look. "I care for my leader too, you know!" she rolled her eyes. "When you can, you can eat. I will see to that. I trust you and I think that Sun trusts you to. You can save him." Despite her words, worry flashed across her gaze. M o s s  14:05, December 29, 2015 (UTC)

(Sun is a female) Sun suddenly cried outng in pain as the healer worked on her shoulder wound. 14:08, December 29, 2015 (UTC)

(and she's not leader, Creekshine is...) Jay sighed. "Whatever, I've got to deal with this, and I wish to not be disturbed from my work anymore." T r y    t o     b e     a   R A  I  N  B  O  W          i n     s o m e o n e' s     c l o u d   14:10, December 29, 2015 (UTC)

Blood ran around the camp, chasing after a butterfly. He aimed and pounced, pinning down both of the creature's wings, but not hurting it at all. "I wonder what kind of butterfly this is? It's so pretty!" He said to no one in particular. "Just look at the pattern on it's wings! I'm sure there isn't a lovelier insect around!" He continued to admire. Blood was interested in many things, and he always wanted to know about them. Some called him a wayward kit, but he didn't mind. Lost  in   the   Darkness...  18:50, December 29, 2015 (UTC)

Jasper knew of Jay's work, calling to Shining, "Come on, let's leave Jay to his work, he's got to focus..." Creekshine heard Shining's comment and paused, confused. My short name's not Sun, it's Creekshine...Besides, Jay has to work... The thoughts about his son made him sigh and glance at the silver tabby tom. T r y    t o     b e     a   R A  I  N  B  O  W          i n     s o m e o n e' s     c l o u d   19:01, December 29, 2015 (UTC)

Shadow groomed her dark silver fur. She'd since recovered from the loss of her aunt, but she was still a little shaky at her mention. Smoke was dozing. Lame. -- T h e m i n d   i s j u s t   a c o m p l i c a t e d   m a c h i n e   19:43, December 29, 2015 (UTC)

"Ugh! let's just leave camp!" Scarlet mewed and began to head for the entrance with Dash behind her. "That dosen't sound like a good idea!" Rain mewed and chased after them. 🍁Patch   feather🍁   21:13, December 29, 2015 (UTC)

Creekshine spotted the kits heading for the entrance, trotting after them. "No, no, you can't go out there. There's something out there and I currently have my deputy searching for it. I don't need kits discovering it and potentially getting themselves killed!" T r y    t o     b e     a   R A  I  N  B  O  W          i n     s o m e o n e' s     c l o u d   21:24, December 29, 2015 (UTC)

"But we want to explore!" Scarlet hissed. "Yeah! and no one'll play with us!" Dash agreed. Rain slowly backed away from them. 🍁Patch   feather🍁   22:03, December 29, 2015 (UTC)

"I don't want kits getting themselves killed! This is a very serious issue, and you kits could be killed in an instant!" Creekshine hissed, anger in his gaze. "One of you Tribemates was nearly killed by this thing, and you kits can play with yourselves. If I see any of you heading out, there will be consequences!"

"Fine!" Scarlet whipped her tail and walked away to sit in a corner and glare at the ground, Dash followed with a glare at Creekshine. "We could totally kill whatever that thing is," Dash stated to Scarlet. 🍁Patch   feather🍁   22:19, December 29, 2015 (UTC)
