A gray tom ran to the Jaggedrock as if a badger itself was lumbering after him. Giving a quick leap, he realized he hadn't timed his jump right, and instead of landing on the large rock, slammed into the side of it and fell down. "Foxdung!" he spat, "There's no time for mistakes right now!" Leaping up again and landing this time, he yowled as loud as he could, "Let all cats gather beneath the JaggedRock NOW!" And almost all of StarClan could hear him.

{{Don't loose your britches, Requiemstar. ;0}}
Dustpaw bounded after him, his fur bristling. Though it was slightly funny when Requiemstar smashed into Jaggedrock, he didn't laugh. Instead he sat beneath the rock, staring at his paws. He felt like it was his fault Spark-kit had gotten stolen. If only he could've fought better... |

(Woah! Darlingpaw is having a motherly moment! That's a first!)
Darlingpaw flung herself out of the nursery. Her head was darting around the camp. She couldn't find Spark-kit any where. Then she turned to look at Requiemstar. "Requiemstar! My baby is missing! I took a nap with both of them by my side, but now she's gone!" Truthkit followed behind her calico mother. Their plets brushed-both bristling. "It's that apprentice's fought! I know it!" She had seen Dustpaw in the nursery before and knew Spark-kit was fond of him and add that to a fear of her kit being. The queen balanced on her back legs and leapt in front of Dustpaw. Then she lifted her paw to strike his head. Truthkit just watched with her eyes wide with shock at her mother's anger.

The tabby apprentice watched as the queen bounded from the nursery. Spark-kit's sister was with her. Dustpaw's eyes clouded as she leaped towards him, and he didn't try to avoid Darlingpaw's blow. All he did was twist his neck, facing his left side of his head to her.
Dustpaw felt her unsheathed claws rake across his face, blood seeping from the wound. Just another wound from someone who hates me. Join the party, Darlingpaw, He thought bitterly, his eyes glazing. Where ever Heavystep was -- StarClan or not -- he had to be enjoying this. His son, whom he despised with every fiber of his being, was being injured. |

Darlingpaw felt her claws seep through the apprentice's face flesh. He didn't even try to dodge her blow, but simply moved his head. It was deep and there was no telling if it would leave a scar. "I hope you never get to walk among the stars! You should walk in a dark forest alone and scared like a whimpering kit! Like my poor Spark probably is right now! She's scared and alone all because of something you did! It's all your fault!" Truthkit was just staring wide-eyed. She was terrified of what would happen to her sister, but currently more woorried about Dustpaw. Darlingpaw lifted up her opposite paw ready to strike again. The little calico got in front of her mother and pressed agaist her pelt. "Please stop. Please." At the sound of Truthkit's voice the queen stopped and glared at the tom. "This is all your fault!"

"Walking among the stars...," Dustpaw murmured, raising his head to the sky above, said stars glittering down to the camp.
"If he is up there, I don't want to go there...," He shuddered, memories of his father and Spark-kit blending in to make his heart ache. The blood dripped to the earth, and what didn't slide down his face caked against the wound. The cold winds were drying the blood quickly, but now he looked like he had been in a war recently. With the matted blood on the back of his head, his fur in bristling tufts, and his newest wound, he probably should've seen the medicine cat a little while ago. But he couldn't go see them. Not now.
{Specially since we don't have one yet~} |

(Yeah. We need one of those.)
Darlingpaw's ears went flat against her head and her whiskers pulled back to reveal her sharp teeth. Soon a hiss slid out from her mouth. "You're a load of Fox-dung. My kit might die because of your foolishness. If I lose Spark you can bet I' coming after you!" Then the queen picked up Truthkit by the scruff and let her dangle from her jaws. She glared one final time at Dustpaw and then took her spot in front of Jaggedrock. To scared to put her kit down for fear of her going missing. Truthkit just dangled from her mother's jaws as they waited for Requiemstars to say something.

(Wow. A lot happened while I was gone. Requiemstar would have intervened a looong time ago. Before Darlingpaw even scratched him. xP Requiemstar lost his britches. You were right Ebby xD)
Blue orbs fixated a burning glare on his clanmates below. "STOP!" he yowled, his voice loud enough for even the other clans to hear. His penetrating gaze shifted back and forth from Darlingpaw to Dustpaw. "THIS IS NOT, I REPEAT NOT HOW MY WARRIORS BEHAVE!" he bellowed, rage overtaking his handsome blue eyes. "Now, STOP fighting with each other and LISTEN to me. Time may be of the essence and what are you doing? NOTHING USEFUL!" Requiemstar couldn't help himself, he needed to get them under control and to pay attention. "Darlingpaw, CONTROL YOUSELF. Moments before I called this emergency meeting, Dustpaw appeared in my den, bleeding and upset. He told me what had happened and I ran up here to call the meeting and organize a search party." The tom then proceeded to quickly repeat Dustpaw's story to the clan, not even bothering when he stumbled over words because he was speaking so fast. Returning to his usual calm manner of speaking, Requiemstar continued.
"Now, we will treat each other respectfully from now on! Darlingpaw, you WILL apologize to Dustpaw for disgracing him and wounding him. Dustpaw, I want you to come with me and show me exactly where this attack happened. We may still be able to track the rogue by his scent."
He nodded towards Darlingpaw, "You will stay here at camp and not upset yourself any longer. Truthkit, you are doing well so far. Stay with your mother and comfort her. Make sure she stays in the nursery."
With that, the wise leader jumped from the rock and raced out of camp, pausing only to make sure his apprentice was following.

Dustpaw only nodded, then shot after his mentor/leader. The tried not to think about Darlingpaw's words; trying to think of finding Spark-kit. But with each step he took, he slowly began to think it really was his fault his friend had gotten stolen. |

Darlingpaw just stared off into space and the leader talked. No of it mattered. Her kit was gone. Her flesh and blood missing. Requiemstar could never know of the feelings a queen feels for her kits. She was petrified and somehow walked into the nursery. The calico put her kit down and curled into a ball. Truthkit curled into a ball beside her, but something was wrong with Darlingpaw. Her body was shaking in, seemingly spasms. Suddenly...she went limp. Her daughter, Truth, lay asleep near her.
(Yes. Darlingpaw is dead from shock.)

(Nope. She's seriously dead. Catie ACTUALLY killed her from shock... she had like a heart attack. Poor Truthkit, and poor Dustpaw. Dust is gonna be all "Its my fault.... Dx" emoish for a long time. And Truth... I dunno.)

(Sorry if this at all late...)
Black figure slithering in to the area, finding he was already late for this gathering. Another event he had missed... He let loose a sigh, eyes catching a hint of calico fur. Darlingpaw had stepped into the nursery, carrying her kit. But something was wrong... Very wrong. Pushed by the ominous feeling, he slowly followed the queen. Though as he neared the entrance, he was somewhat shocked to find Darlingpaw shaking in terrible spasms. Staring, knowing there was nothing he could do, he saw her stop moving. "D-darlingpaw...," he said in a hushed voice. He sat, wavering there, for a few moments, then noticed the kit. Truthkit... She was alone in this world now -- with neither mother nor father -- and she didn't even know it. He padded silently into the den, looking over the body and kit, his silence returning.
