" Then may you rot in the badlands," Hollypaw spat, whapping her claws against Shortstride's cheek. Jaypaw giggled until he noticed his sister was crying. In turn, he ran after her, watching as Hollypaw forced herself out of camp to be alone for a bit.
Spots flew onto Softheart viciously. Tigerheart was trying to track down Icepaw and Rosedancer.
Lionpaw was standing there as Leopardclaw prepared a speach. " You're an idiot, Shortstride. If I say to Angelheart I love her, she'll think I mean it. Guess what that head to? I'm expecting kin soon, kin that will rise beyond even my capabilities."

A shadowy figure stood in the center of the battle. Never getting hit. It looked like a ptch black fox. It was the figure of an old enemy. He watched, he waited, he wanted to become death more than ever. He was still trying to control what he was doing. Its not easy to stand in the mortal world while being dead.

"As they always seem to do," Shortstride mewed as he watched Hollypaw flee further away from the camp, Jaypaw following. He didn't need to go after them now that they were gone. "And how would I be the fool in this web of lies? Those truely foolish do not believe that anything can stop them- regardless of kin or status. Do not get too hopeful, Leopardclaw." He smirked; "Our time is only beginning."
"But your time is up!" Softheart ducked from Spots' attack and barrled Shortstride over, the two of them rolling ever closer to the edge of the camp. Where it met a drop off.
"Softheart, be reasonable. You still think you can win? You should thank me- if I hadn't spoken, you would still be pinned aginst the wall, dead."
"I don't need a fool's help to save my life. I already have enough of that on my own with my friends- something you will never know." She took herself off of the tom and went in search of Rosedancer, hoping that no one had found her yet. The battle was beginning to dim on its own.
Shortstride padded back up to Leopardclaw. "So how much longer would this last? We've already done pletly damage."

Leopardclaw used a forepaw to split the two apart. " Come off it!" He rolled his eyes and looked at Poisonivory. " She's not coming, is she?"

Shortstride shrugged. "I'm not sure. Last I saw her, Blizzardopaw had gone at her. If she ends up coming, good for her and good for me. It's her choice." He kept his voice low and words cautious in case she happened to hear them speaking. If Poisonivory did decide to come, then he would take to Leopardclaw's plan for powerful kin to follow in his pawsteps. His eyes wandered the rocky terrain, resting for a moment on a small patch of fur he figured to be a dead kit. Shortstride shrugged and looked back to the entrance of the camp.
||Bah. I wasn't using Mistkit, so now she walks with Starclan ;-;||

|| Sad story. T.T x3 I didn't even know there was a Mistkit!||
" Rogues!" Tigerheart roared over the rage of the battle. " Fall out, time to relocate and follow through the rest of our plans!" Tigerheart shoved Blizzardpaw away with a strong paw and began to bolt out of camp. Next to him was Leoaprdclaw, followed by the others. Spots was in the middle of all this.
After being sure the rogues were gone, Jaypaw, bloody and still bleeding from the stomach, appeared. " Rosedancer," His voice was in a hushed, hoarse whisper, for he could force no more than that. In his jaws he held Hollypaw, limp and hardly bleeding. The cause? As Hollypaw ran she encountered a traveling badger driven from its hibernating place. Grumpy it had attacked and Jaypaw almost lost his life saving his sister.

Shortstride nodded and followed in step just a bit behind Leopardclaw, wondering why Tigerheart hadn't claimed part of the territory as his own. Not like it matters all that much. He looked over his shoulder to see if Poisonivory was following; she wasn't, so he filed out of the mass in wait. He would wait until half of the group had passed him. After that, she was all but lost.
Softheart padded back into camp, eyes servaying the desolate wasteland before summoning Rosedancer back, Icepaw in her jaws. After btoh were cleared, they dispersed- the calico dashed over to Jaypoaw and Hollypaw; Softheart at her heels. "Oh my! What happened?! Come, please, we have to get you two into my den this instant." She padded in to see patches of her den torn, herbs scattered and a small puddle of blood near the back. At least she had enough room to work.

Blizzardpaw was the least injured of the apprentices. He scooped up Hollypaw and placed her into the den as Jaypaw blindly fell next to her, too weak to stand. " Badger..." Was all Jaypaw could rasp.
" I'll start cleaning the den up, Rosedancer." Blizzardpaw mewed. He had always wanted to be a medicine cat, what better a place to be then here? Blizzardpaw feared his love of being a medicine cat showed too much. " I'll Grab some moss to soak up the blood pool and bury the moss and re-organize the herbs. I only have a few scratches."

Gorsestar got up and sterted ordering the Warriors around to fix up the camp. "I want every den cleaned up. Make sure you do the Medicine Cat Den first. Our Medicine Cats need to get to work on healing the Clan immediatly! If you have only a few scratches, get to work. But not before getting checked by Rosedancer. Get checked and get to work." He padded off to get to work, even though he was breaking his own rule of getting his wounds checked first.

Posionivory began wlaking to the rouges, but first she turned to Blizzardpaw "Oh just in cause you havnt noticed I killed your mother and your pathics sister, Sparklepaw" she meowed a evil smirk on her face before she walked towards Tigerheart "Im a rouge now like it or not" she emowed before walking towwards Shortstride.

Bearpaw tryed to get Eaglebreeze up, but he wouldn't move. The gash from his neck trickled out blood. Eaglebreeze was still alive barey.

Softheart padded by Gorsestar, pausing only to block her leader off with her tail. "You should know that we can't have our new leader lose more than one life the day after his leadership begins. Let Rosedancer at least give you some cobwebs of poppyseeds before you overexcert yourself, Gorsestar." Her gaze was kept at her paws, the two standing parallel to the other. "We shouldn't go against our own rules now, to set a good example?"
"Thank you Blizzardpaw," Rosedancer mewed frantically, looking the two apprentinces over before grabbing some cobwebs. "I'll need all of the help I can get after this battle. Where did Icepaw disappear to?" Her eyes stayed locked on Hollypaw as she spoke; her paws worked nimblily, setting the web evenly out over each scratch, over every trance of blood left from when the medicine cat had cleaned her. Rosedancer turned to Jaypaw next: "Oh my, why a badger would do all of this I will never know. I also have to go and see Eaglebreeze, but I can't just leave these two here... Blizzardpaw?" She turned to the tom, green eyes dim from exasution. "Can you please go and see what happened out there? I'm tied up with these two, and your sister is nowhere in sight."

Blizzardpaw nodded. He padded out. " Gorsestar, Softheart, you should get checked by Rosedancer." He warned before grabbing Eaglebreeze by the scruff. Scrawny as Blizzardpaw was, he managed to pull the tom into the medicine cat den. Checking to make sure everyone was going to go to Rosedancer's den evetually, he grabbed some moss loosely between his jaws and began to clear up the blood in Rosedancer's den.
Jaypaw mewed in protest as the cobwebs pressed to his body. Hollypaw, however, felt no pain, as she was unconcious.
Blizzardpaw had finished cleaning up the blood. He burried the moss and then began to organize the herbs again. The fresh-kill pile would have to be restocked, too...

Eaglebreeze felt teeth in his scuff. He looked an eye to see Blizzardpaw.
Bearpaw watched as Blizzardpaw took his brother to help.
Sweetpaw kept her ears priicked

Softheart nodded but kept her place, waiting for her leader to respond. She would be fine- a little water would clear her throat, and none of the scratches she had were fatal.
"Thank you," Rosedancer mewed to Blizzardpaw, giving Jaypaw some poppyseeds before shoving somw down his sister's throat. She turned to Eaglebreze and did the same, looking to his brother. "What happened to him?" Her voice was steady; calico paws worked quickly, pressing gumweed onto sore spots before cobwebs held it in place. Her mind was still ready from years of experience.
||Bah.||

Bearpaw looked at Rosedancer, "Shortshride dug his fangs into Eaglebreeze throat." He looked at his brother, "Will he be okay?"

Blizzardpaw shook his head. He finished reorganizing the herbs. The medicine cat den was patched up for now. He went over and changed the moss for Icepaw and Rosedancer's beds. " I'll go check up on the others. I haven't seen Lionpaw around, though."

"I don't know how strong he is within after a battle like that," Rosedancer mewed, nodding to Blizzardpaw. "We'll see when he wakes up. But for now, he needs to rest like Jaypaw and Hollypaw. They'll live to see another day." She sighed and glanced around her den, smiling weakly.
"Thank you Blizzardpaw," she mewed weakly; she sighed, turning back to those under her care. Her age would only allow her to work for so much longer- she had felt as though many years had hit her in the span of the battle. It was agonizing, thinking of leaving her clan. But that would be Starclan's choice.

|| Blizzardpaw knows Sparklepaw is dead, he doesn't know about Mistycloud yet.||
Jaypaw ate the poppyseeds reluctantly. " Is there anything else I can do, Rosedancer?" Blizzardpaw asked, looking up at his medicine cat. " Or are you going to be a stubborn furball and tell me to get some rest?" He purred jokingly, affection flickering in his eyes accidently. Over the past few days Rosedancer had been a better friend than anyone else in the Clan, and they barely exchanged two words to eachother.

"A stubborn furball is exactly what I intend to be," Rosedancer mewed with a chuckle, tail swping Blizzardpaw's ear as she rested herself on the ground. "You should get some rest as well, Bearpaw. It was qwuite a battle out there...." The old she-cat trailed off, eyes still searching the crowd for her apprentince. It had been some time since she had leat rested her gaze on Icepaw- back in the cave in wait fror all to pass. Why, then, would she not be here?
"Blizzardpaw? Have you seen your sister?" she mewed, turning to the tom. If Icepaw wasn't planning on coming back soon, then she would have to find at least a temporary replacement.

" To be honest, I haven't. She'll turn up soon enough, though." Blizzardpaw mewed, batting at the medicine cat's ear. " And I will not rest. I need to rethorn the entrance, change the warriors den moss, the elders den, the apprentice den, check on the nursery's kits if there's any, and restock the fresh-kill pile before I even think about resting!" He objected. " I'll be fine, Rosedancer.
He stood up from his sitting position and licked the medicine cat's ear. " Your the one who should get some rest. Hollypaw and Jaypaw should be alright. They need their rest as much as you do!" Blizzardpaw smiled and looked out of the medicine cat den, his smile turning into a mortified look. Fearscent shook through the medicine cat den, all coming from Blizzardpaw.

Bearpaw nodded and licked his brother ear then went into the apprentice den.
Eaglebreeze eyes opened. He looked up at Rosedancer, "Thank you." Then rested his head on his paws.

Rosedancer smiled weakly and smoothed Eaglebreeze's pelt with her paw, looking back to Blizzardpaw. "I'm just an old medicine cat. I didn't fight in the battle- I had to run. I'll rest when everyone else has been checked. You, however, fought hard to protect your clan. That would be worth a bit of rest before you must excert yourself again. Now take my advice and try to get some rest- before I end up having to make that an order." She licked his ear before turning back to the wounded cats. She3 knew that they would be fine, fine enough to live as they did before. But she didn't need to rest either way. Not when she was on such a timer.

Blizzardpaw's lip trembled. " Rosedancer..." He muttered. Without another word he hurled himself out of the den and at a dead body next to Sparklepaw. It was Mistycloud. " Mom? Mom... get up!" For the stubborn apprentice he was, he sure sounded like a kit! " Mom, wake up! Mom!" He started to cry.
He turned to Rosedancer. " She isn't- is she...?" He couldn't bring himself to speak the word 'dead'.

Rosedancer took a breath, held it and released in a sigh, shaking her head. "I'm sorry, Blizzardpaw," she mewed quietly, eyes locked on the dirt beneath the queen's corpse. "It was probably Shortstride or Poisonivory: she was fighting the two at the time. She left us in a noble way." The words were clear. Mistycloud had died in vain. Rosedancer's mind swept her herb list, trying to find anything to acombinsate for heartbreak- but there was none. She sighed and closed her eyes. "I'm sorry."

" I never saw my dad for days before he died... and I never got a chance to say goodbye to my mom!" Blizzardpaw mewed. " I put the Clan before the family, and looked at what I've done... This is all my fault!" Blizzardpaw made a sniffle/whining noise as he looked up from his mother's body and into Rosedancer's eyes, trying to read her expression.

Sweetpaw looked at Blizzaedpaw, "I know how you feel both my parnet hunt with starclan." She licked his ear ,"I'm sorry Blizzardpaw." She then remembered what it was liking watching one parnet die and then the next. She licked Mistycloud ear and whispered to her, "I'm sorry for what I said. I was upset I didn't mean any of it. Starclan will welcome you."
