The tom's eyes widened, and he choked back a cry of shock and fear. He turned and ran for it, trying to ignore the guilty hope that the alien she-cat would keep the worse alien busy.

As far as he could tell, the monster cat hadn't followed. The camp loomed up ahead - it seemed to be in chaos. Cats paced back and forth, anxious, scared.

He stopped, not quite entering the camp. Just when he thought he could handle this, the world had to end again. He looked back over his shoulder, wishing he hadn't had to leave Hasdiel behind. Shaking off the thought, he entered the camp.

Without another word, the older tom walked purposefully over to the dead prophet, standing beside her body. "Everyone stop." He shouted, his deep voice carrying across the camp. "I need everyone to gather and try to calm down."

"I saw one too." He told them, shutting his eyes. "It was a she-cat, but she wasn't like us. She got attacked by another one, with black eyes. I ran." He was blunt about what he'd done, since that was the only quick way at the moment. "She mentioned monsters, but I don't think she meant the normals."

"It has to." Weaselstar told the group, flicking an ear. "I know I haven't been your leader very long. We don't have the same trust that you did with Falconstar. But whatever is happening, I need you to stay calm, and trust no one but your fellow members."
Post by ®Hawkpath® on Aug 20, 2016 21:17:54 GMT -5
"Exactly." Weaselstar glanced regretfully at the dead prophet. "I think we need to move. The question is, do we want to go see if Hastiel - the fallen she-cat I found - is still alive? Or do we want to go the other way?"

"Maybe camp is the safest place we could be right now." said the orange tabby. "If we go wandering off, we could get scattered." There were a few muted wails when, as was usual for dead StarClan cats, Brightsoul's body vanished.

Weaselstar closed his dull amber eyes, a pained look flashing across his face. "All right, we stay." He agreed. "We need to have guards all around. Divide that amongst yourselves. In the meantime, I need to make sure everyone's still here." It was a weak excuse, he knew, but one of his cats had gotten too close. He felt a stab of horrible fury, the white hot bloodlust that was the price of the vengeance he had taken. He just needed a minute.

Outside the camp, falling stars still were occasionally visible, the last apocalyptic stragglers becoming earthbound. The sky was restless, not its usual foggy stillness. Thunder rumbled distantly.

The brown tabby she-cat from earlier gazed wide-eyed up at the sky. "So....um.....this isn't normal then?" She asked tentatively.
One of the falling stars, a large one with shadowy streaks coming off it as well as the usual light, landed nearby. It crashed with as much force as Hastiel's had, but the impact also knocked a couple nearby freeze flat.

"No, I don't think - AH!" The orange cat, whose name was Tigertail, leapt back as the star touched down so close to camp. "What the..." He tentatively approached, keeping his belly against the ground,

Where it had landed, there were no more plants. A tall black cat got to her feet slowly, glancing up with icy blue eyes. For a second, her oddly long and sharp teeth slid in, but then she pulled them back into her gums.
Weaselstar stayed back, watching quietly to see what would happen.

Her ears flicked forward slightly, hearing his words, but also hearing his heart beating rhythmically. "This is not my home." She announced, eyes flicking to the other cats and back.

Tigertail flicked his tail, having grown somewhat used to this situation. Although this wasn't exactly the usual method of dying. "You're dead." he explained bluntly. "You're in StarClan now."
Post by ®Hawkpath® on Aug 21, 2016 12:02:34 GMT -5
The she-cat stared at him, understanding suddenly flooding her gaze. "Ohhhhhh, I see now. You're just a cat." She rolled her eyes. "Of all the places we could have fallen..."
"What do you mean?" Wrenkit blurted out. "We're all cats."
"Yeah, not so much." The vampiric cat assured her.

She considered him, as if inspecting a well fed mouse. "Hm. I was going to be the girl that drank you dry, but that isn't happening. Too many of you. So, I think I'll be going now." She turned and sprang away.
"Let her go." Weaselstar commanded quietly. "We don't know what we're up against here."

Weaselstar didn't like just huddling there in one place, but he really didn't know what else to do.
A tall, skinny cat with fur that looked like it was made of a mix between black smoke and crow feathers came into sight. He hadn't seen the rest of the group yet, and his strange, white eyes glared around at his surroundings in general.

"What is is this time?" said Tigertail, bristling. "Stay calm, I'll go talk to it." Without waiting for permission, he marched up to the cat. "Hi. What's your name?"
Post by ®Hawkpath® on Aug 21, 2016 19:25:34 GMT -5
Weaselstar didn't bother trying to stop him, just watched.
The thing looked at Tigertail, white eyes gliding over the other with impatient superiority. "Your name is Tigertail. You don't remember me obviously, but I'm the reason your here. My name is Ianuarius." He said in a quiet, cold tone.
