{Wonderful! Take your pick, I can post a starter}
Nightfall was blissfully unaware of the events around him, as usual. He didn't care much for all the drama, knowing life could be simple if one was to let it be. Of course, he wasn't antisocial. Just because the black tom didn't attempt to get in on gossip, others considered him isolated. No, I love a good chat now and then.

Ashrock sighed in annoyance. This was a convenient time for Coalpaw to go running off. "Then we better go find him." "No." Cedarstorm flattened his ears, looking firmly at his brother. "You're not leaving camp, Cloudscar and Stormfury are going to keep an eye on you." The deputy looked to Goldberry. "Take Nightfall, Honeypaw, and Oakstalk and go find Coalpaw." Goldberry nodded quickly, a frantic hop to his step as he looked at Oakstalk and Nightfall, moving to rush out of camp. Honeypaw gave one last bitter look at Ashrock before moving to follow his father out of camp. “Ashrock, this is...” Lynxdapple breathed, dissapointed and saddened. “This is low. To your brother, no less, who you should be supporting, not trying to break down.”

Stormfury and Cloudscar exchanged a glance and then nodded to Cedarstorm. Cloudscar passed closer to his son, keeping his eyes on Ashrock. Neither said anything to the deputy’s brother.

Oakstalk turned and headed out of camp per the deputies orders. He sighed and went to find Goldberry's son.
Stonesong hovered near Ashrock.

(Ok, How about he join Goldberry's patrol to find Coalpaw?)
Ashrock flattened his ears, baring his teeth in anger. "You can't keep me in camp!"
"Of course I can, I'm the deputy!" Cedarstorm snapped back at his brother, his claws raking the ground at the hurt he felt from his brother's betrayal, but he took a deep breath to keep himself calm. He couldn't go off in front of the Clan. "Northstar will hear about this, Ashrock."
"Let her." Ashrock snorted, lashing his tail. "When I explain my points to her, she'll realize she chose the wrong kit of Closesky's to be made deputy."
Cliffheart shook his head at Ashrock's steeled pride. "Have you no guilt?"
"Not when I was doing what was best for the Clan." Ashrock glared back at Cliffheart. "The only shame I feel is getting ratted out by a rabbit-chaser."

(Cedarstorm--deputy--just ordered them to go out. If you read back a few posts you'll see it.)

{I originally had Cedarstorm and then I saw Goldberry in your response, Will do^^} Nightfall silently sighed and rose to his paws, not really wanting to leave the camp. Of course, it was his duty, and so he would carry it out loyally. I'm going to retire early tonight, though, he thought grumpily as he followed along behind the others. The tension with the deputy and his brother was making the tom quite uneasy. Glancing around as they prepared to leave, he frowned.

Stormfury’s gaze snapped to Ashrock. “Enough.” He said. “I am a warrior of ShadowClan, not a rabbit chaser. We all make mistakes Ashrock, but I’m done bowing to you, or anyone else because of mine. I am just as much a part of this clan as everyone else, and I’ve more than earned my place here. “

Ashrock snorted. "Believe that all you want, Stormfury, you'll never be one of us."
"Shut up, Ashrock." Cedarstorm lashed his tail, he looked at Stormfury. "Take him to the prisoner's den. I need to go speak with Northstar." He let his gaze trail over to the leader's den, but nearly flinched when he spotted Northstar watching from outside her den with narrow eyes.
"The prisoners den?!" Ashrock bared his teeth. "I'm no traitor to ShadowClan! I don't deserve that!"

Goldberry pushed out into the snowwy grasses and mud, his blue eyes wide and searching. Under a layer of snow, the faint scent of Coalpaw could be detected. He swallowed. “He’s going towards Twolegplace...why would he go there?” He whispered with a hint of worry.
Honeypaw sniffed the ground with deep determination, using as many skills as Oakstalk had taught him. At least Oakstalk cared about his training. Ashrock clearly didn’t about Coalpaw’s.
After a moment, Goldberry tensed, looking at the patrol. “Blood scent...”

"Ashrock isn't a traitor!" Stonesong explaimed. "Giving poppy seed stop Cedarstorm was wrong but he didn't betray Shadowclan." She tried to stick up for her friend.

Nightfall hesitated for a moment at the tom's murmur- he could barely hear it, though it was enough for him to understand where the tom was headed. That's a dangerous place, no apprentice should be going there... he thought, slightly nervous about Coalpaw, the brothers, and everything else that was going on. This is why I stay out of it...

Stormfury nodded to Cedarstorm. “Come on Ashrock. Let’s go.” He padded towards the tom.
Cloudscar followed behind Stormfury. “this might not be permanent Ashrock, just until this can get figured out. Northstar is very fair, and you know she’ll hear you out. Don’t cause any more trouble for yourself.”

Oakstalk moved forward, quickening his pace at the scent of blood. "Let's hurry." He spoke, voice serious as he hurried towards the scent. What was Coalpaw doing all this way?

Ashrock scowled at Stormfury and Cloudscar, but he did flash Stonesong a grateful look. Without a work, he padded over to the prisoner den.
Cedarstorm moved off toward the leader's den. Northstar stood up and padded inside when Cedarstorm padded over.
Cliffheart watched the deputy pad off, feeling for his former apprentice. "I wonder what's going to happen now. I, for one, think Cedarstorm's a great deputy."

Stonesong turned to follow Ashrock. She paused outside the den a few steps. "Northstar will see sense." She assured him softly.

Goldberry looked frantically between Nightfall and Oakstalk, before Honeypaw snapped, beginning to trail on the blood scent, his own voice shrill with angry panic. “Come on! Hurry!”
Worry for his brother thrummed through the usually snarky and cool apprentice, and he pushed through the snow towards the fences of Twolegplace. He followed Oakstalk diligently. No sooner that the apprentice got closer to the fences did he release a cry of shock and horror.
Coalpaw gave miserable and pained whimpers as he lay bloody in the snow beneath one of the fences.

Oakstalk slowed once they saw Coalpaw. How in Starclan had that happened. He stayed back, letting Goldberry's and Honeypaw rush to their family. He felt a pang, thinking of Hollowpool and her injuries. He understood how Goldberry must be feeling.

It wasn't long later when Northstar padded out of her den, Cedarstorm trailing behind with his fur prickling in his unease. The ShadowClan leader paused in front of Clan Rock. "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath Clan Rock for a meeting." Northstar turned her eyes to Cloudscar and Stormfury, flicking her tail for Ashrock to come forward as well.

He felt a pang, thinking of Hollowpool and her injuries. He understood how Goldberry must be feeling. “Coalpaw!” Goldberry bellowed with panic, rushing towards his son and gazing down at him with horrified eyes. Coalpaw sniffed weakly, reaching out for his father with a paw and sobbing out. “H-hurts...” “Don’t worry, Coalpaw. I’m right here. I’m always here.” Goldberry assured, voice choked and body brimming with red hot anger and fear. The stench of rouge clearly explained who had done this. He knew Coalpaw had to be treated quickly. His wounds were bad. He begged Nightfall and Oakstalk. “Please! Help get him onto my back!” Honeypaw stared with wide eyes, fear for his brother clear in his eyes. He’d flay thouse rouges alive. He’d claw their entrails from here to highstones! He trembled with burning rage, voice cold as he tried to calm Coalpaw’s weak cries, assuring he was there and wouldn’t leave him.

Lynxdapple and Talltalon looked up, Viperpool looking unsure and ruffled. Snakesong cowered in the corner, Brittlefoot glaring around camp.
Lionscorch looked up with rare anger, while Lilypaw kept close to her siblings in quiet observation.

Stronesong looked at Northstar.
Flintclaw and Crowfur looked up as well from where they had been chatting.
Oakstalk moved forward after a few moments to pick Coalpaw up gently by the scruff. He was careful not to hurt him as he moved him to Goldberry.

Nightfall's eyes widened in terror. He feared the worst, Coalpaw's state making his blood run cold. The tom blinked slowly a few times before nodding and tenderly stepping forward, stooping down to help Goldberry get his son onto the tom's back. "D-don't be too quick, sir-" he managed.

Cloudscar and Stormfury escorted Ashrock out of the den
Sandflower, who had been talking quietly with her kits, looked up at Northstar. Hollypaw and Oakpaw did the same.

“Thank you..” Goldberry choked quietly to Oakstalk and Nightfall, padding forward quickly and carefully, not wanting to hurt his son anymore than he’d already been hurt.
“It’s alright, little swirl.” Goldberry assured Coalpaw shakily, the black tom giving faint heaves of breath. It was clear he was hurting alot. Coalpaw sniffled. “I’m really tired...”
“Don’t sleep.” Honeypaw barked, clearly distressed and ready to tear a cat’s eyes out. He pleaded. “We’re going to get you help. You’ll be back up and bouncing about in no time. You better be, got it?” He rushed quickly after his father, looking tightly at Oakstalk and Nightfall.

Ashrock held his head high as he was led to Northstar.
Northstar was less than amused. Her tail flicked behind her. "Although I witnessed everything with my own eyes, Cedarstorm has informed me of your sabotage, Ashrock. Placing poppy seeds in the deputy's prey so that he would sleep in and you could take his place. I never suspected such a thing from any ShadowClan warrior."
"I mean no disrespect, Northstar," Ashrock dipped his head. "Cedarstorm is not the best choice for deputy. He lacks the confidence and conviction for the rank."
"If you wanted to mean no disrespect then you would have honored my choice for deputy." Northstar spoke sharply. "Would you have rather me make you deputy? You, who boast your own abilities, look down on your clanmates, and cannot open your mind to any idea that isn't yours? You may be strong and brave, Ashrock, but you have much more to learn before you are ever eligible for being deputy."

Talltalon nodded in sharp agreement, respect in his eyes as he looked at Northstar above him. While he didn’t think the choice should have been either of the brothers, it was clear she was firm and able to defend her choice strongly.
Viperpool winced, looking at Ashrock with light worry.

Stormfury blinked as Northstar spoke. She had seen everything? Then why didn't she say anything? He glanced at Cloudscar, who shrugged.

Ashrock flattened his ears at the leader's words. "Northstar, you, yourself saw how I handled the patrols the days that Cedarstorm slept in. I am more eager than Cedarstorm to be a strong deputy for this Clan!"
Northstar snorted. "And after the stunt you just pulled?" She looked to the rest of the Clan. "Who would support Ashrock being deputy of Cedarstorm?"
