Honeypaw glanced up from his spot outside the medicine den, beginning to snarl as Ashrock padded towards them. The only reason he did not hiss at the tom was because Northstar was with him. Honeypaw glared at him though, a warning in his cool blue eyes.

Ashrock didnt even notice Honeypaw, his ears back and his mind tangled with his own thoughts.
Northstar slowly padded up to Goldberry and Coalpaw, laying her tail on the father's shoulder comfortingly. "How is he?"

Stormfury settled down next to Cloudscar, a lizard between them. They were quietly discussing Stormfury's conversation with Cedarstorm about his father, trying to decide what the best option was. Every now and then, one would glance around to make sure no one was listening before continuing. Stormfury had told Cedarstorm he would talk to his father before deciding if he would reveal his parentage, and they were trying to decide if they wanted to do so or not.

Cedarstorm led his patrol back to camp. He glanced around for Northstar.

Ashrock didnt even notice Honeypaw, his ears back and his mind tangled with his own thoughts. Northstar slowly padded up to Goldberry and Coalpaw, laying her tail on the father's shoulder comfortingly. "How is he?" Honeypaw slipped in after them quickly, circling around to sit on his brother’s other side. Goldberry looked up at Northstar, his eyes heavy. “He’s doing as well as he can at this point.” The golden tom cast a thick look at Ashrock. Coalpaw’s eyes flickered to Northstar and his mentor. He mewed weakly. “I’m sorry...I didn’t mean to...” He cut off, choked and sad.

Snowdance nodded and watched as they padded into the medicine den, deciding to let them have some space.
Stormcloud sat by himself, tail flicking back and forth as he thought about how things went down.

Pinefeather looked for her mate. She wanted to ask him what he thought about all this.

(Yeah, I mean they never said it, but it's kinda goes without saying xD)
"Shh, Coalpaw." Northstar mewed softly. "It wasn't your fault, you did all you could. Can you tell us what happened? Why were you out there all alone?"
Ashrock stayed back, away from Goldberry and Honeypaw, his was still and his ears were back as he watched his apprentice. Covered in herbs and fur crisped with his own blood...
"My brother's sure know how to cause trouble, don't they?" Kinkfire let out a sigh as she padded up to Stormcloud. She sat down beside him. "Sorry about that."

Aight cool)
Hollowpool was trying to groom her fur. She hated feeling so weak and broken. She felt like a burden on the clan for being so stupid to get hit.

Coalpaw hesitated, a flash of fear in his eyes. He finally spoke. “I...I wanted to hunt for the queens and kits. So I snuck out and I thought I’d find something...near the twolegplace. But-but when I caught my prey, two rouges came and-and they told me to give them the prey. I said no, a-and I fought as hard as I could b-but he, one of them just kept hitting me. It hurt so bad...They took my prey and they left.” The black apprentice sniffled.

Stormcloud flicked his tail, “Something like that.” He said, “And it’s alright, it’s not your fault that your brothers have problems with each other.”
Shademoon was grooming his pelt outside the warriors den.

Even though the medicine den was pretty full, Frogleap slipped in to slide over to Hollowpool, a small frog in his jaws. He placed it down before her. "I thought you...might be hungry."
"It's alright, Coalpaw." Northstar's voice was soothing. "They're gone now, and we'll make sure they never return. I admire you wanting to help feed the Clan, but you knew better than to go alone."

Hollowpool purred softly, leaning forward to press her head to his. "Thank you." She spoke.
"How are you?" Pinefeather slid up next to her mate.

"It's alright, Coalpaw." Northstar's voice was soothing. "They're gone now, and we'll make sure they never return. I admire you wanting to help feed the Clan, but you knew better than to go alone." Coalpaw averted his eyes. “I know...It was stupid. I won’t do it again.” “It’s not a surprise.” Honeypaw growled. “Coalpaw, how often has Ashrock taken you out to do any kind of training? What moves did you use, trying to fight those rouges?” The golden apprentice asked. Goldberry blinked at both of his sons, a flash of sudden realization beginning to fill his eyes. Coalpaw was suddenly quiet, throat tangled with words. He looked over once at Ashrock, fear filling his chest. Ashrock would hate him more if he told them he’d not taken him out for many days. Even so, a possible lie couldn’t come to his head. He swallowed. “I...Ah...he, he’s taken me out...” He tried quietly. “Coalpaw.” Goldberry’s voice was still soft, but it held a firm and concerned tone. He knew when his kits were lying. Not even Honeypaw could lie much to the older tom. Coalpaw’s eyes burned with wetness as he sniffled. He covered them with his paws, shaking his head. He was afraid to look at his mentor.

"Problem is I thought I knew my brothers." Kinkfire shook her head. "Though, I guess I'm not really surprised Ashrock did what he did. I think I'm more surprised that Cedarstorm is having such a hard time adjusting to being deputy. Out of the three of us, I would've chosen him to be deputy. Ah, forget it." She looked off toward the medicine den, Cedarstorm was waiting outside of it for Northstar. "I'm not my brothers' keeper."
Frogleap purred softly at her touch. "How are you feeling?"
"I haven't taken him out." Ashrock mewed suddenly at the back of the den. He met Northstar's and Goldberry's gaze and though his face was still stock still, his voice had softened. "It's been a couple days since I last trained Coalpaw. He would have won that fight if I had continued to work with him, but I focused on proving to the Clan I'm right about Cedarstorm."
Northstar flattened her ears. "Coalpaw is your first apprentice, Ashrock. You should have been more focused on training him to become a warrior than trying to take your brother's place."

Goldberry’s wide eyes trained on Ashrock, before he looked from his wounded kit back to the warrior. His shock turned to cold anger as he bristled and glowered. “Ambitiously hungering for deputyship, yet the single required aspect of that rank is to have trained an apprentice. So. You’re telling me. You’ve not trained him, yet you believed you deserved that rank? And now, my son was brutally beaten and you had the guall to neglect his basic training?”
Honeypaw felt a boil of hate as he spat. “So he’s only good for getting you to where you want, huh? I should have seen it coming. You mange-furred, rotten-!”
“P-please. It was my fault.” Coalpaw squealed, voice wretchedly sad. “I must have made him mad, he didn’t mean to...He would have taken me out again, he-...”
“I can’t believe you’re defending him!” Honeypaw gaped with wide eyes, before they trained furiously on Ashrock.

Shademoon smiled at Pinefeather, licking her cheek, “I’m alright, and you?”
Stormcloud shook his head, “I’m sure Cedarstorm will adjust soon. And it looks like Snowdance is planning a specific lesson for Ashrock.” He said, having noticed the conversation outside the medicine den.

"I'm so glad you're getting better." Frogleap licked her cheek. "Just wait, we'll be chasing prey around the territory again in no time."
"Stop it." Northstar stepped between them all, her ears flattened back. "The fault is to be shared. Ashrock will pay for his crime by assisting Snowdance and Opalmist here in the medicine den until they see fit. He will also be tending to Coalpaw to remind himself how important apprentices are in this Clan. You both have every right to be mad at him, but remember that Coalpaw made the choice to go out on his own. Yes, Coalpaw was brutally attacked, but by the grace of StarClan he will recover. We should be thankful he is alive and that the rogues didn't take his life. If that isn't enough for you, then remember your own faults. If you could learn from your mistakes, then Ashrock can learn from his."
Kinkfire twitched her whiskers in amusement and she actually smirked. "Oh, Ashrock has always hated the medicine den, even when we got scratches as kits. I can't wait to watch how he handles it now. I bet he makes a bunch of mistakes that would only make his punishment last longer."

"But you're not going too." Frogleap smiled softly. "Snowdance said you would make a full recovery! A-and you already said you were moving your leg. You'll be back to warrior duties in no time!"

"Oh, Ashrock has always hated the medicine den, even when we got scratches as kits. I can't wait to watch how he handles it now. I bet he makes a bunch of mistakes that would only make his punishment last longer." “Mistakes?!” Honeypaw breathed, anger overcoming his hard built control of his emotions. “If he never cared before, why in Starclan would he care now? He’s only guilty because he got caught! Had he gotten away with it, I bet he’d not touch Coalpaw once and waited until he had a star in his name before tossing him off like crowfood!” “Honeypaw.” Goldberry mewed sharply, his heart aching with emotions as he tried to quell his son’s blind anger. Something about this struck Honeypaw deeper than just this current issue. Honeypaw raged on angrily. “And now his punishment is to mull around in the medicine den so he can drug everyone else in the clan with poppy seeds? Maybe he’ll try and shut my brother up for ratting on him for being the worst mentor in the clans!” “Honeypaw! Enough!” Goldberry boomed now, silencing the highly upset tom. He looked at Northstar with both apology and heaviness. “Northstar. I know my mistakes. I believe second chances are deserved...but I don’t want Ashrock hurting Coalpaw more than he already has. I think the medicine work is suitable, and he should certainly see to every pain of Coalpaw’s as he should have...but I just want to say, for the future, that I don’t believe he deserves to mentor Coalpaw anymore. I can’t tell you what to do, and I will follow any decision, but I plead that you consider changing mentors...” Coalpaw gave quiet hitches of fear, afraid to look up and see, not wanting Ashrock to be angry.

Shademoon shook his head, “I’m not sure, honestly.” He said, sighing, “If Ashrock was so adamant about being deputy, I feel he should have gone about it in a different way. But I don’t think I would agree with him being deputy though.” He added.
Stormcloud chuckled, “Just remind me not to get on Snowdance’s bad side.” He said.

"He defiantly shouldn't have put poppy seeds in Cedarstorm's prey." She shook her head. "That's horrible."

"I wouldn't dare harm clanmate!" Ashrock lashed his tail, glaring down at Honeypaw. "All I did was give Cedarstorm a few harmless doses of poppy seeds! What? You think I'd suddenly start stuffing deathberries into prey? I wouldn't kill my own brother! I'm not Adderstar!" He looked firmly at Goldberry. "And I'm not responsible for the rogues that attacked Coalpaw. I thought he was doing his chores, not sneaking out of camp! I may have neglected his training, but I caused him no harm! How do we know that even if I had continued to work with him that the results of the fight would change? We don't know how many or how strong those rogues are! I can still be his mentor!"
"SILENCE!" Northstar shouted above the arguing, usually not one to raise her voice. She lashed her tail, narrow eyes looking to each cat in the den. "Honeypaw, you will learn to control that wild anger of yours. I know you're upset about your brother, but blindly lashing out at cats does only harm and no good! Ashrock, as his mentor, Coalpaw is your responsibility. I will take the time to determine whether or not you're still fit to be his mentor, but first, you need to begin your punishment. Go find Snowdance and ask her what you can do to help her."
The gray warrior opened his mouth to protest, his eyes glancing briefly at Coalpaw. Yet, with a sigh in his throat and his ears fallen back, he turned and left the den.
Northstar turned to Goldberry. "Be with your sons. What's done is done."
