Jaypaw layed in the medicine cat den, his head on his paws. His eys followed cats around, but he didn't move his head. He waited for Rosedancer, so she could check-up on Hollypaw.
But Jaypaw didn't know his sister was stone-cold.

Softheart was speaking with Rosedancer at the front of the camp, the two rehersing what should be told to Gorsestar. The warrior dipped her head to the calico before dashing off to the other side of Tornadoclan, slowly entering the leader den before the medicine cat was able to move herself. Rosedancer was still sore from what happened, still angry at herself and Starclan for making things be this way; in her thought, she rentered her den.
"Hello Jaypaw. I take it your wounds have healed?" she mewed. she was trying to get happier on the utside as to not worry her clan; it wasn't working very well. "Lets check on your sister now, shall we?" Her head dipped and pressed against Hollypaw's chest, checking that her pulse and breathing sounded proper. She felt noting but ice on impact. "Jaypaw?" she mewed quietly, tone grave. "I think...I'm sorry to say that...." She sighed. "Hollypaw has joined Starclan."

Jaypaw's eyes flew open wide. " What?!" First Lionpaw, then Blizzardpaw, now this?! What was left, Softheart? Jaypaw's blue eyes were grief-stricken. He blamed her death on himself. He should've protected her from the badger better. He should've killed the badger, not run! Then Blizzardpaw AND Hollypaw would both be here.
|| Ignores fact that your post says Rosedancer was speaking to Rosedancer||

||...*shifty eyes*...||
Rosedancer tilted her head slightly, trying to scan the apprneintce's features. She rested on his eyes for a moment; she then turned and forced her gaze to the ground. "Do not be so hard on yourself, Jaypaw. None of this is your fault. It's mine for not being able to heal them properly; it's never that could not protect. It's those that can not bring back." She felt as if she had failed everyone- especially Jaypaw. His friend and sister had btoh been killed in the same day, all because of her. Why wasn't she born with the abilities to protect as well as heal? She was useless without something to do but run in battle.

Eaglebreeze looked at Jaypaw, "I'm sorry Jaypaw." His voice no more then a whisper.
Sweetpaw looked at Hollypaw, "Why is Starclan taking everything from us!"
Bearpaw growled in agreement his eyes burned with hated.

" Do not take this out on StarClan." Jaypaw mewed. " It is my fault. I didn't kill the badger. It hurt Hollypaw enough so she died, and then it took my best friend. And during the battle i wasn't looking out for Lionpaw, and he's gone too. I've let everyone down." Jaypaw studdied his paws, as if there was something important about them.
|| Bah||

Sweetpaw padded to JAypaw. "It's not your fault either. If anything it's the badger. I to should have been looking out for my brother. Now I'm alone." Sweetpaw licked his ea.

"Then it would be the bedger's fault, not yours." Rosedancer kept her seperate way from the tom, keeping her gaze hard on nothing. It was everything she feared- she was losing her clanmates one by one, right when she knew that she couldn't help them. "Sweetpaw's right. Now we just have to cope with our losses and move on. Don't blame this on yourself, Jaypaw." She paused. "And take that as an order."

"Don't worry Jaypaw. All cats die sometime anyways. THis is just more more cat to add on to Starclan." Icerose mewed coldly."She should be grateful that she had died early. She won't have as much regrets if she died young."Ever since all her friends and family had died she didn't care about others. All she did everyday was heal cats one after another so that they could live their sad lives. The only reason she still was medicine cat was because of Blizzardpaw. Blizzardpaw had wanted this job too and if she quit her brother would never forgive her. She could never live with the guilt of failing her brother like that. Icerose stared out of the den lazily, her eyes glazed with sadness and anger.

"Hush, Icerose," Rosedancer mewed, resting ehr tail on the she-cat's muzzle. "You know you shoukdn't say thins like that;" especially when you fall true to them yourself. She was well aware of the toubles her apprntince had survided in her youth, moving homes, having both parents die- both of which included cmininal lead- and all of her sibilings now hunted with Starclan. But she chose the path of a medicine cat- now she has to live it. "You know that we have to help save anyone, regardless of their age or clan. Do not leave anyone dangling between life and death just because they've lead a hard life."

"Yes Rosedancer." Icerose mewed, without turning her head. "SO which cats need help?" She heaved herself off her paws and padded up next to Rosedancer. She listed the herbs that she would need. Marigold, poppyseed,...
// BAD! //

Rosedancer shook her head slightly, looking to the cats in her den- one well, another dead, the final saleep. "Go and wake Eaglebreeze and give him some poppyseeds. Double check if any of his wounds have re-opened; if they have, you know what to do. Gumweed and cobwebs." She paused, thinking back to the battle. "I think everyone else should be fun, but I'll go run a check of the cats just to make sure. Icerose, Jaypaw," she mewed dipping her head as she left the den poiltely. She just had to get away from her aspect of life and death for a while, some distraction that could be reasonable to silly. Anything but blood.

Icerose gave her mentor a curt nod and padded over to Eaglebreeze. "Eaglebreeze, wake up. I need to check your wounds." she mewed and gently prodded the tom with her front paw.

Jaypaw hissed viciously at Icerose. " Your own brother died and you show no remorse!" Jaypaw's fur stood on end. " The funny thing is, I was closer to your brother than you were!" Jaypaw's fur was maxed out, his eyes angry. " He wanted to be a medicine cat. He fell in love. He killed a badger." Jaypaw growled. " And he's your brother, yet you act like he never exhisted. You probably don't honour the things he did for his Clan." Jaypaw spat, and limped over to a corner, far away from Icerose.

Softheart paded slowly into the den, nodding to her medicine cat before finding her way to Jaypaw's side. The two were pressed against the side of the den as she rested her head on his shoulder, whispering, "He was a strong and noble cat, yes. As was your sister. Icerose choses to be impartial, as a medicine cat should." She paused, trying to pick the right words. "It's okay, Jaypaw. He lead a great life- and even she is sad to see it end. No one can be so cold when their brother dies." Coming from her, that was a shock.

Jaypaw held back a retort. Everyone he cared for had left him in the span of three days except for Softheart. No one would understand his closeness with Hollypaw or Blizzardpaw, or even Lionpaw. Jaypaw ducked his head and hid his face from the other's as he cried. Years and years... Eyes drown in tears... || I made that up, no stealy!||

Softheart felt her heart sink, both from anger and sorrow. Starclan always had to make the lives of all others harder by taking their friends away. Why? Why couldn't they let someone more than a medicine cat or a leader die a later death? Not that I shall claim that Wolfstar was old at his death, but it doesn't matter. She gave Jaypaw a lick and whispered, "I'm sorry, Jaypaw. I'm sorry for everything. I'm sorry that there was nothing that we could do." It is better to feel hate than to know that there is nothing.

Jaypaw grunted, the sound muffled as he refused to look up from his quiet hiding place known as his fur. As he cried the ground underneath him began to get wet, tears flowing from under him and touching Softheart and Rosedancer's fur. Jaypaw didn't dare think about Icerose, pure hatred rose through him everytime he thought about her and how she had crushed his best friend's dreams.

Eaglebreeze lifted his head. He stood on his paws so Icenose could check his wounds. He was alittle shakey on his paws, but you would to if it was your fist time standing in a few days.

Icerose checked Eaglebreeze's worst wounds and applied marigold to them."There. I think that should be good enough." she mewed. Her thoughts came back to Jaypaw's words. He's your brother, yet you act like he never exhisted. You probably don't honour the things he did for his Clan. Her fur bristled at the remembrace of the words. Jaypaw didn't know anything about her. Blizzardpaw had been her favorite sibling and her only real friend. He was the reason she was still a medicine cat. If he had lived longer she would have given her position as medicine cat to him, but since he was gone being a medicine cat was the only thing she could do to remember him by.She stared at Rosedancer and Jaypaw talking. Great even my mentor is on his side. she thought bitterly. It wasn't much of a surprise. Every one was against her now a days.

Jaypaw rolled his eyes, angry. You wanted this position so bad, eh, Icerose? So bad you had to crush your brother's dreams? So bad you don't even care he's dead? Jaypaw's eyes read angrily, wondering if Icerose could interpret what Jaypaw was thinking. His hostility made everyone sick, but there was nothing else to do in this cruel unforgiving world.

Gorsestar heard what happened and walked to where he held Clan meetings. "I think that it is time to name our new Deputy. Softheart will be the new Deputy. We will all mourn the deaths of our Clan mates after the Gathering." With that last word, he walked slowly tto his den.

Softheart noded to her leader and her clan, giving Jaypaw a lick before she properly accepted the position. "I will do all I can to help my clan," she mewed, voice mournful. She knew whatit was like to lose a brother, expecially if your life seemed to orbit around it; her, Shortstride, Mistycloud, all allowed themselves to be sucked into his life. And now, they were probably the only ones that cared. Well, he seemed to have died happy, she thought, resting herself outside of the warrior den. We can only hope that rest of us may live happy as well.
Rosedancer gave Jaypaw a lick before she sent both him and Eaglebreeze back to their duties. "You shall both be physically able after you've had some rest. Please do so before the gathering," she ordered. "Icerose? May I speak with you?" The calico decided to tell her apprentince about her death, that she would only be able to give her so much more advice.

Gorsestar felt happy about his decision, and his only wish was to see his little brother again. He had not seen him for a while and wanted to see how he and his family where doing. He shook the idea out of his mind of going to visit him and padded over to his new Deputy. "Why don't you make some hunting patrols. The Clan needs some fresh kill. And put out patrol along the NightClan border. StarClan knows their up to something."

Post by Kuromai on Feb 19, 2007 14:59:11 GMT -5
Softheart dipped her head, wondering for a moment why is gaze seemed so clouded by this thoughts. "Worry not, Gorsestar. Eaglebreeze? Are you and Bearpaw up for some hunting? Jaypaw and...Sweetpaw, a border patrol? It's been a while since we've checked the Stormclan border as well," she continued, turning back to her leader, "but they've always been more peaceful than Nightclan. I'll have us go around both." Softheart dipped her head as she padded up to the entrance of the camp, waiting for the patrols to make their appearenece.
||Bah.||

Gorsestar nodded at her with a smile. "Good good. I don't think CloudClan will be much of a threat anytime soon. We can check their border tomorrow. It's truly NightClan I'm worried about. Poisonstar is always bound to do something evil. I know for sure that he was intwined with the rogues at some point in time. We have to keep our guard up. If they hear that the RA recently attacked us, they will think we are weak and steal our prey."

Softheatr shrugged. "Even so, we've never been at ends with any other clan specficilly. It's always been Stormclan and Nightclan that have been after each other for the most part, leaving us and Tornadoclan to take a side and go along with it. For the moment, I'd still say out biggest worry is the Rouge Army and our natural enemies, though it can't hurt to be careful." Her tail swing back and forth in time as she spoke, keeping in time with her words. Now her brother was gone. That had always been the evil in her life; and now she had her clan to worry about. She could live with that.

Gorsestar nodded. "If those rogues ever come back, we'll show them what we're made of." He was so busy thinking about his new Clan he had forgotten about his beloved Flame. He had loved her from the beginning, but he hadn't seen her since the disaster with Sapphirepaw, Skullpaw, and Brambleshadow.

Kimico was tired. She got up and looked down at her kits. All so beautiful and young. Maybe soon to become apprentices. But not yet. Not yet...
