Foxpounce's amber eyes filled with concern when Larkfeather let out a cough. Rather than step back in fear of getting sick, he stepped forward and gave her a soft lick over her ear, "Are you okay?" he meowed softly. At the best of times, Foxpounce was often hot-tempered and snarky, but when he was near Larkfeather he seemed much more subdued and gently protective. Thinking back to her reply, he nodded slowly. Meadowthorn had been the one to make the announcement, and being Rosestar's sister, everyone knew and trusted her. "Meadowthorn would make a good leader..." he shook his head quickly, "but we must try and believe that Kestrelclaw will be okay." The determination in his voice was wavering. [ That would be cute! They could be not quite mates yet, but Foxpounce definitely has feelings for her. We can build it up a bit. ] Wildfire* - 🦉
Tatterpelt hadn't the energy to argue when Meadowthorn ordered to fetch Slowshadow. She merely rested her grey muzzle on her paws and let out a difficult sigh. She silently prayed to StarClan that her clan would be okay, but a pang of doubt hit her heart as though she'd just dived into an icy river. It was to hard to say.
Blackbird followed beside Horsetail, quietly letting her fur rest gently over her shoulders as the sounds and scents of the forest filled her nostrils. Outside of the camp, the forest grounded her. She glanced to Riverpaw, the small tom walked with hunched shoulders and his head low. He had no idea what would happen to the clan, and even in the forest his worries weren't quelled. Blackbird glanced back to Horsetail, "The smell of sickness of the camp was getting to my head, and then the news of Rosestar... I hope StarClan will lead us to safety..." her voice, usually full of certainty, was soft and unsure. A whiff of mouse drifted on the breeze and she gestured with her tail for Riverpaw to stalk after it. The tom needed the distraction. Riverpaw obliged, ducking away into the forest with the majority of his weight resting on his back haunches as he stalked.
Sorrelspots nodded quietly as Finchcall spoke to the young apprentice. Her throat was tight with emotion and she glanced to the nursery. With Cloudkit sick in the nursery, she hoped that Rosestar's newborns would be safe in there. If the clan lost Rosestar, and then Kestrelclaw, and then the kits... it might be enough to break them. She shook her pelt quickly and rose her chin, "Let's go," she meowed softly, before exiting the camp entrance.

Horsetail leaned into the she-cat soft touch and sighed. He was never close to any cat like this physically and it was shame that there needed to be chaos and death to drive Clanmates together in that way. He was genuinely ashamed. aether

Blackbird was surprised when Horsetail leaned against her, but she was more than happy to comfort the shocked tom. Gently, she gave him a few comforting licks over his ear, and rest her tail on his back like a warm hug. Words caught in her throat. She didn't know what to say or do to comfort him. She didn't know if everything would be okay, and she didn't know what StarClan planned for them. She pressed her nose into his cheek and meowed, "W-we'll be okay." She managed to meow, "We have to be." Riverpaw spotted the mouse successfully until it was in view. It hadn't noticed him coming and momentarily the tom had forgotten everything. His words was just him and the prey. He bounced on his haunches before pouncing forward and catching the mouse, killing it swiftly before it would peep. He picked it up in the jaws and turned back to show the patrol. cowbird

aetherHorsetail was comforted by the she-cat's words even as she wasnt confident in them herself. They had to be fine- their warrior ancestors couldnt abandon them like that. They stay in the embrace before Riverpaw came trotting back, a mouse in his jaws. "Good catch!" Horsetail mewed. If the young cats were showing signs of steely composure at times like this there was hope after all.

(So Finchcall, Jayflight, Shadowstep, Tumbleweed, and Blossomheart would be senior and Softheather, Stormchime, and Skymoon would be where Meadowthorn is at which is somewhere in between. So the first three would meet with the elders [who is just Wasptail right now since Tatterpelt is sick]. Mentors and Apprentices: Finchcall and Frogpaw Blackbird and Hollypaw Snapwind and Riverpaw Kestrelclaw and Sunpaw Meadowthorn and Batpaw Slowshadow and Rowanpaw
cowbird - I'm thinking of having Kestrelclaw name the last kit. Make it kind of poetic since it might be the last thing he does if he dies.)
Frogpaw jumped ahead of the patrol, a sudden light in the tom's eyes. "Then I will make sure to catch a nice rabbit for them both! So they can easily feed Rosestar's kits and their kits!" Glancing back at his mentor, Frogpaw was grateful to have someone like him in his life. Frogpaw was mostly alone since he was an only kit. He loved his mother dearly but was happy to have a father figure in his life. The tom beamed at Finchcall before his ears twitched and he dropped into a crouch. Was that prey? aether , cowbird , Blaze ♡
Larkfeather let out a quick, rough purr towards Foxpounce. She nodded her head with a sorrowful sigh. "I'm beginning to thing I'm getting sick as well. I'm not sure if it is the same as the other cats, but I know we shouldn't risk it." The she-cat looked into Foxpounce's eyes with a desperate look. "I know I can't hunt unless I want other to get sick, but can I at least travel with you? I will go see Slowshadow and Rowanpaw afterwards." aether
Meadowthorn heaved out a side as she saw the tiredness in Rowanpaw's eyes. "Thank you, Rowanpaw. If you need help, just let the senior warriors know and we will try and get you and Slowshadow some help." She touched her nose to the apprentice's ear, feeling it was hot. She frowned and turned away towards the elders' den. She needed to talk to the senior warriors. Starchaser

Wildfire* - 🦉- cool! Well not really if he does but you know. Im interested to see how the new leader is picked. So Jayflight, Shadowstep, Tumbleweed are the senior warriors deciding then?) Hollypaw flicked her tail when Frogpaw began bouncing about. She fell into a crouch too; mouring or not she wasnt going to let her sadness keep her from harnessing and working in her skills. She kept her ears stood erect as she maneuvered silently through the undergrowth, avoiding the path Frogpaw had taken. This leaf-fall the forest seemed to be filled with prey- just before the the cold drives away all the life.

(Are we looking at a tom or she-cat for the last kit? Cause I was thinking a tom that had the coloring of Rosestar cause all the other kits are she-cats and have Kestrel's coloring. I was thinking MapleClan cause that could be a reason they name one of the kits Maplekit after the clan. Also, cowbird, should Leopardshade be looking after Rosestar's kits? She's ill, isn't she?)

She's not ill enough yet not to nurse- and four kits at once for the other queen while not impossible will be much so i though we could let her hang a bit. Ofc, if you dont see that as wise she can move out. And yes i feel like one of the kits should be a tom- most litters that size dont all have the same gender tbf.

(I've never seen BrackenClan before which is why I thought of it. Ok, Cowbird! If she's still good, then Leopardshade can keep caring for them. But as soon as she gets sicker, she'll have to stop nursing them. As kits, they are more prone to sickness.)

[ If the other two kits are she-cats then the last will be a tom. How about Lionkit? A deep golden tabby tom with a white splash on his chest? ]
When the bushes rustled as Riverpaw stepped out, Blackbird raised her head and gave a soft purr, "Well done, Riverpaw," she tried to sound soothing towards the young tom. Riverpaw puffed his chest for a moment and his eyes gleamed at the praises from Blackbird and Horsetail. Then he dropped his mouse and scraped some leaf litter over it, ready for collection when they returned back to camp. "Let's go and see what we can catch around the Great Willow," Blackbird suggested, and she started heading in the direction before anyone could agree or deny. The Great Willow was a huge willow tree with seemingly hundreds of drooping branches and inter-weaving roots that moved in and out of the earth. It was the perfect spot for prey to hide, and therefore the perfect spot to catch it. Riverpaw took up the back of the patrol, his small legs struggled to keep up with the quick pace that Blackbird had as she weaved expertly through the undergrowth. cowbird
Foxpounce hesitated. His heart lurched at the thought of Larkfeather laying in the medicine cat den, her beautiful blue-grey fur mattered and hot from fever, her body trembling, and her breath ragged. He gritted his teeth and stepped forward, pressing his forehead against her flank. He could already feel the warmth that radiated from her and his stomach clenched, but her sweet scent gave him some comfort. After a few heartbeats, he rose his head and stared at her, "You can travel with me, but the moment you feel as though you might be worse, we're going straight back to camp!" His eyes were alight with protectiveness, and more quietly he murmured, "I don't know what I'd do if something happened to you..." The ginger tomcat turned and started padding towards Pine Forest.

Larkfeather gave a sweet sign as Foxpounce rested against her for a heartbeat. This is nice, she thought. It was odd for her to be so comfortable with another cat. She wasn't a cold character or a rude one. She was just...nervous around others. She usually felt shy when a lot of other cats were around. She let out another rough purr before nodding to Foxpounce's words. "Of course. I don't want to give the clan any more heartbreak..." She trailed off thinking about Rosestar, Kestrelclaw, and the kit. She signed. "Oh, Foxpounce. I'm so scared. What will happen? Why has StarClan let this happen?" aether

aether and Starchaser(Lionkit sounds good to me!) Horsetail wordlessly followed the she-cat, at this point too dazed and distracted to make up his own mind. It was like he was a fresh 'paw again- minus the lowkey numb feeling and the death and sickness. As the reached the Great Willow, Horsetail took a moment to gaze up at the tree's magnificence. It seemingly reached the sky, its branches covering most of the view up there and were thick and still full of leaves. The roots were nearly the size of Horsetail himself in both height and width and stretched far out. He looked back at Riverpaw. "Hunting here is a dream, isnt it?" He meowed, trying to seem playful in order to brighten the atmosphere. Tumbleweed sat still in the elder's den, his tail swishing back and forth as Wasptail crouched beside him, his large eyes closed in what seemed to be a prayer to StarClan. they waited for Meadowthorn and the other senior warriors to get here so they could start the meeting Tumbleweed shook his head. All these cats getting sick at once was something never he had seen in his career and just when he thought the abnormalities had stopped Rosestar dies. A disbelief racked him when he heard the news. He remembered the she-cat as a kit, racing around and being cute like all the kits had been and while many cats died young in Tumbleweed's time it had never been like this. There was a rustle next to him and Wasptail rasped, "Is it selfish of me that of all cats I really want Tatterpelt to make it?" The elder hardly voiced his opinion or showed much emotion other that politeness and focus in the time Tumbleweed had known him. "No," Tumbleweed answered, pressing close to the old cat. "You too have known each other for sometime and have a connection. Nothing wrong with wanting a cat you love to survive." Wildfire* - 🦉

//HELLO IM HERE SORRY FOR THE POOF D: also also i know im late but BrackenClan sounds nice to me but im not picky ^^, dunno if its already been picked
Slowshadow nodded appreciatively. "Thank you Leopardshade." The call of Meadowthorn grabbed his attention and he turned his head to the exit of the den. Ah, a difficult elder. It always seemed to be hit or miss with them, didn't it. He gave a short farewell to Leopardshade before making his way over to the medicine den. He looked around, over the group of ill cats, and found his apprentice, asleep. He nudged Rowanpaw softly. "Come, Rowanpaw. I know we've got a lot to manage, but now isn't the time for sleep." ( Starchaser)
"Much appreciated." Snapwind said. She looked around for Riverpaw who was nowhere to be seen. Fine by her, so long as he was out learning at least. "We should be able to make at least the start of a den from what we have in camp. We can find moss and whatnot for bedding after building the shell." She said to Mossywing, leading the other feline over to the medicine den. Subconsciously she found herself maintaining quite the distance from the den. As such, the place for the ill cats would also not be directly next to the den. Any sort of distance would at least help a little in keeping others healthy, Snapwind hoped. She worked with the supplies lingering in camp to slowly put together a shelter big enough to house the sick cats. And then some, should the need arise. "Mossywing, I know you're no medicine cat, but... What are your thoughts on this illness. Do you think it is the will of StarClan?" ( cowbird)

thehorsiestadultMossywing flicked her ears at the warrior's question as she weaved in parts of the den. "StarClan couldnt have willed this much destruction," she mewed, her faith in her warrior ancestors unshaken. "This is far too cruel for them. I guess sometimes StarClan sends us signs like the sickness and...and Rosestar for us to act on but I dont believe their will is to hurt us. Im sure Slowshadow will find a way." She frowned inwardly. He has to.

Stormchime shoot her sister a mild look after she finished coughing and pushed herself to her paws. "I will check on Cloudkit... since I am going back anyways," she corrected the queen. She swished her tail at her sister and started to head towards the medicine cat. She glanced over her shoulder, "Find something to keep you busy," the grey and black feline teased gently over her shoulder.
- -
[ is soft suppose to be with meadow? or nah xD i am confused, so many words & posts lol ] Softheather let out a soft scoff before playfully sticking her tongue out at her sister. "Make sure Cloudkit knows that I love him," she called after her sister. She wanted to be with her kit... but not right, this sickness was so unknown. What was it? How is it spread? Is it contagious? There was so many variables and it made the queen's head pound thinking about them. The white and grey feline shook her head and started to drift over towards where Snapwind was talking... maybe she would offer her assistance there for awhile before checking back in on Aspenkit, Leopardshade and the rest of her denmates.
- -
Finchcall nodded and followed after Sorrelspots. His thoughts were all over the place from the sickness to his own health to whether or not prey would be running good or not. His golden gaze flickered over towards Frogpaw and gave a slight shake of his head to dispel his more troublesome thoughts. He let out a purr at Frogpaw's words, "That will make the queens happy," he encouraged with a soft chuckle. Food was always a good motivator. The black tom's ears twitched and swiveled as he listened to the sounds out in the forest. The sleek warrior sniffed gingerly at the ground as he started to hunt for a scent to follow. He knew that Frogpaw was capable... so he didn't need to keep a closer eye on the young tom.

Meadowthorn felt her heart sink as Jayflight approached. The brother of Kestrelclaw had been very worried when his brother had fallen sick. If anything, she had wanted to give him good news. "I'm sorry, Jayflight. Slowshadow and Rowanpaw are doing their best for them. Kestrelclaw is still really sick. I...I don't even think he knows about Rosestar." She looked at her paws. "Before coming to elders' den, I think you need to tell him. I think...I think hearing it from you would ease some of his pain. But...but I don't know." (Can I ship this a bit? Idk. I'd find it poetic that the sister of Rosestar and the brother of Kestrelclaw would have a thing. Lol!) Starchaser
Frogpaw slowly padded forward. He paused at the tiniest movement of a leaf, ears straining forward. That same leaf moved again as a plump mouse slowly moved forward. Carefully placing one paw on the ground at a time, Frogpaw continued to watch the creature scurry around for food. He paused at the same time the mouse did. It had sensed danger. The mouse darted for the cover of it's home, but Frogpaw, true to his name, let out a mightly leap and landed on top of the mouse, killing it. He turned his head to the warriors, showing them the kill. Blaze ♡ , cowbird , aether

(Front page updated! I will be adding a poll vote for the clan name! After this vote, I will be doing a vote on where you think the plot should go. Some will be simple and some will be quite complex. All have the potential for drama while some will be shorter plots and some much longer. We can do a vote on what you think as well.)
