    I approached my mate and deputy, lynxshadow. She was huddled over our kits in my den. “I love you all. Promise me, one day you will-“
    “Lynxshadow.” She jumped a little. “What are you doing.”
    She seemed to hesitate a bit. “I’m telling our kits to promise me that they’ll be as good as you where-are when they are warriors.” She dipped her head.

    “Hey lilyfire!” I bounded into the medicine den. My sister, lilyfire, received her medicine cat name early, as our old medicine cat, dappledcloud, was growing old and wished to retire soon. “Lilyfire?” I called again in confusion.

    “Hey lilyfire!” I bounded into the medicine den. My sister, lilyfire, received her medicine cat name early, as our old medicine cat, dappledcloud, was growing old and wished to retire soon. “Lilyfire?” I called again in confusion. Suddenly I saw it.
    Her body was limp and dull, her eyes facing the sky. Dappledcloud stood over her body.
    “YOU! You killed her!” I exclaimed.
    “What?! Me! I want to retire to the elders den! Why would I kill my own apprentice so it extends the wait?! When I find out who killed her! I’ll claw their whole pelt off!” She screeched.
    “Alright. I believe you.” I said with a flick of my tail. I padded off to tell my mother and sister the bad news.

    As I entered the clearing, I noticed everyone sitting in front of high rock. “What’s going on?” I asked goldenpaw.
    “Clan meeting.” Lynxshadow replyed.
    Soon, oakstar, my father himself, flicked his tail for silence. Suddenly I noticed a scarlet tinge on his claws.
    /no! Please don’t let that be the truth!/
    “My dear clan mates. I am sorry to say, lilyfire is dead.” He started in his welcoming, but icy, voice.
    “How would you know!” Dappledcloud called out.
    “Because, my dear dappledcloud, I killed her.” The whole clan gasped in shock and horror as he said those worlds, and padded down towards him. “I killed her because I want my kin to /rule/ the forest. I already have kin in riverclan and skyclan. There is no room for a cat like /her/ to be a medicine cat.” He hissed. As he finished, he was finally towering over dappledcloud. “And, I would prefer if word didn’t get out. So, sweet dreams, cloudy.” With that, he took a massive leap, twisting as he slashed his claws into dappledcloud’s neck. A moment later, he lay on the floor. Dead.
    Oakstar took his position back on high rock. “No cat is to tell any other cat, from any clan about this. If I find they do, well, I think you get the picture. I want every cat to either hunt or starve. Also, I would like to make hawkpaw and goldenpaw warriors. Hawkpaw will now be known as hawkstorm, and goldenpaw as goldencla-“
    “Wait!” Lynxshadow piped up, then whispered something in his ear.
    “Very well then. My deputy and mate wishes to make goldenpaw’s warrior name goldenmoth. Clan dismissed.”

    A hard, massive paw hit the side of my face, and claws raked my cheek shortly after.
    “how /DARE/ you send our son to /riverclan/! How dare you try and tell them about lilyfire!” He hissed at me. I tried to run, but he bit hard into my tail. Next thing I knew, it was gone. Not the pain, but my tail. I stared in horror at the limp lump of fur and skin still in oakstar’s jaws. I scrambled away again, into the warriors den. Goldenmoth sat down and comforted me.

    A/N: Oof, sorry for this back story, but it is important for the RP.
    Oak is still the leader and lynx is still deputy.

  • /present; sunning rocks\

    Willowstar’s head was being held down by heavy paws. Four sleeker paws held down her body.
    Mossshadow dashed their, hiding behind a tree. He could hear the cats speaking.
    “Where are they willowstar! I want my children back!” Oakstar hissed.
    “G-get off of me!” Willowstar barely choked the words out. Mossshadow then realised their was a large gash on her throat.
    “Then give me my children!” Oakstar growled, tapping a white-furred warrior with his tail, who dug his claws into willowstar’s back.
    “T-they arn’-arn’t just y-yo-our children. They’re mine and lynx’s as well.”
    “YOU DARE CHALLENGE ME! All of them where born in thunderclan territory therefore belong to thunderclan!” Oakstar’s tail lashed.
    “And so was I! Also, speaking of lynxshadow, if she, Vixenstar, ravenstar and ivydash where here, wh-who would they ba-back up? Y-you or m-me?” Willowstar both threatened, and hinted to Mossshadow. He saw littlespark bounding up and motioned for her to be silent and to stay there. He then started to creep around to they skyclan border.

  • Lakereed stalked up with the rest of the patrol and motioned for the patrol to stop, waiting for Mossshadow’s signal. He then followed Mossshadow creep around, while still motioning for the patrol to stay there. “What’s your plan?” He quietly hissed to Mossshadow as he followed him around.

    • (Just checking, Lakereed is Minttail’s brother. Are Minttail and Lakereed’s half-siblings Willowstar and Mossshadow?

      • ((Yes, there father was eaglestar, the thunderclan leader who was killed, along with the deputy, and brother of oakstar, birchfall (not ferncloud and dustpelt son birchfall, diff one) by oakstar so he could be leader. He blamed it on rouges.) lake and mint’s mother was a kitty pet, inspired by my pet cat, named kimba, a large tabby brown-grey she-cat with green eyes))

        Mossshadow looked at his half brother “you guys stay here, I’m going to get some help. Only attack If necessary.”
        Suddenly, cinderpaw stepped on a twig.
        “We’re not alone. Snowstorm, go back to camp. Get every cat to fight.” Ordered oakstar.
        “E-everycat, oakstar?!”
        “You heard me! GO!”
        “Mousedung.” Cinderpaw hissed.
        Mossshadow ran

        (Time skip, cats are battling)
        Suddenly, a cat jumped out of nowhere, screeching and hissing. Then another joined.
        It was Vixenstar and lynxshadow.
        “LEAVE OAKSTAR TO ME!” Lynxshadow ordered all the cats on riverclan’s side. “Only willow, vixen, ivy, raven or me will lay a claw on him.” She turned to face a particularly large Tom.

        • (ok)
          Snowheart and Lakereed charged into battle, apprentices fighting at their side. Snowheart approached a large tom with two apprentices. “Cinderpaw! Speckpaw! To me! She yowled before slashing the toms muzzle and rolling under him to scrape his belly.

          Lakereed leaped onto a calico she-cat who then rolled them into the river. Lakereed used this to his advantage, drowning her. He let her go and she ran out of the river, pausing.

          Flowerstorm pauses, before reentering the battle on Oakstar’s command. She didn’t want to hurt innocent cats, but it was better than being killed.

          • Speckpaw ran over to Snowheart, jumping onto the back of one of the apprentices, clawing our their fur in clumps, and running her claws down their back. She jumped off and tried to shake them by the scruff. She felt the satisfaction of battle, imagining that the apprentice was Sugarheart.
            Sugarheart-
            Sugarheart ran over to injured warriors, Fiercepaw waiting by a bush to treat them. She was proud of her cinnamon-colored daughter, and started treating wounds, making a poultice of marigold and putting cobwebs on top of them.
            Fiercepaw-
            Fiercepaw started to do what her mother was doing, and put the poultices on wounds.

            • “Thanks Speckpaw,” Snowheart meowed. She then leaped onto his back and was using his size to her advantage.
              (Speckpaw that’s not ok! imagining your enemy is your mother!)

              • Speckpaw nodded before running to find another enemy.
                (Speckpaw wants to say something to you: “YOU DON’T HAVE TO DEAL WITHE ALL THE PAIN I GO THROUGH WITH HAVING TO KEEP SUCH A HUGE SECRET” 😛)

                • (If we said that in roleplay, which we didn’t, Snowheart and Lakereed would stop and tilt their heads and ask, “What secret?” But I know what the secret is)

  • “Vixenstar! Do the tree move!” Willowstar yowled, running towards oakstar. She nodded to lynxshadow and they both heaved oakstar onto his side.
    Vixenstar ran, full speed, and leaped onto a tree, digging her claws into the bark. She then jumped off and slashed oakstars muzzle as he got up and tryed to claw Vixenstar. Ravenstar ran behind oakstar, nipping his hind legs so he turned around. Ivydash slid her skinny body underneath the dark tabby Tom, rolled over and scratched his body. /no! He can’t…how would he?/ willowstar thought. “Lynxshadow, ravenstar, Vixenstar, hold him down.” The three she-cats immediately obayed. Willowstar let out a yowl, and stood on sunning rocks. All the cats stopped fighting.
    “Oakstar. Is it true you lead a group of rouges to your camp?” Willowstar asked him in an angry, but distraught tone.
    “Yes.”
    “Is it true you killed eaglestar and then birchfall when your rouges were attacking the camp?”
    “Yes.”
    “you WHAT!? You killed my mate and you-“ Willowstar flicked her tail up to stop lynxshadow.
    “Is it /true/ you lied about birchfall’s dying words, in making you deputy?”
    “Yes.”
    “Is it true, you pressured lynxshadow in becoming your mate, and baring your kits?”
    “Yes and no.”
    “And what is that supposed to mean?” Willowstar looked at lynxshadow.
    “I chose to have kits. He never forced me or pressured me about. ‘Just pressured me about becoming his mate.”
    “And is it true, you are on your last life?”
    “I am, Yes.”
    “Very well.” Willowstar looked towards quietbrook. “Help those who are injured.” She walked into the forest, and came back what felt like moons later, a leaf in her jaws. She dropped it in front of oakstar. “Eat it. It will make you have an extra life, but it only works on leaders on their last life.” Cats jaws dropped.
    Oakstar ate it, and heartbeats later, started gasping for air.
    “Oakstar is dead.” Willowstar looked at the cats gathered before her. “As deputy, lynxshadow is thunderclan’s leader.”
    “W-wha! I can’t be leader! I-I-I…” Willowstar lay a tail on her shoulder and shushed her.
    “It’s your time to be leader, lynxstar. Choose your deputy.”
    “A-Alright…flowerstorm? Do you except being thunderclan’s deputy?” Lynxshadow asked as Willowstar motioned for the other clans to go back to their camps.
    (Also, isn’t fiercepaw AGAINST quietbrook?)

    • Sugarheart gasped. Oakstar’s dead? I never thought Willowstar would do that, but Oakstar clearly needed to die.
      Fiercepaw leaned against her mother and burried her face in the silver and white tabby’s fur. She was a medicine cat apprentice, but she was still not used to death. She felt a chill as she heard a cheer from her sister.
      Speckpaw smiled and cheered. “Oakstar is dead! Good job Willowstar!” She was glad that she had fought so well and licked the blood from her claws

  • “Flowerstorm. I must speak to you, alone.” Lynxshadow stared at the deputy. She led them both to the leaders den.
    “I am in no way fit to be leader. I feel personally responsible for oakstars actions. You, flowerstorm, will be leader of thunderclan, and I, lynxshadow, wish to go back to being a regular warrior.” She explained.

    //meanwhile//
    Alright, riverclan, back to camp. Any cat who needs to be healed, go to my, or quietbrook’s den.”

      • “If you choose me, than yes. Otherwise, no. I won’t push you to make me deputy. I suggest harestalker or goldenmoth or somecat. I feel if I’m deputy for another cat, one who isn’t trying to rule the forest, i will rid the wrongs I did as oakstar’s deputy.” Lynxshadow (She never went to moonstone, so dosn’t have her name) looked back and smiled, before padding out of the leaders den, greeting harestalker as she left.
        “How are you harestalker? How bad are your wounds?”

  • Flowerstorm climbed onto Highrock. “Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather around Highrock.”

    • “Lynxshadow has made me the leader and I choose her to be my deputy,” Flowerstorm said. “When I am at the moonstone, Lynxshadow will lead. I will take the medicine cat and Harestalker. “

      • Lynxshadow dipped her head, shaking slightly. A slight outburst could be heard, mainly from elders regarding traditions.
        “Please. I chose flowerstorm to lead over me as I feel as if i’ve wronged you all. I personally feel responsible for all oakstar’s actions. Though I did not agree with his actions, or make him do those actions, I still never argued with him. I did this, for not just my own safety, but for my clans.” Lynxshadow sighed. “I feel if I am deputy again, it may clear my misdeeds, and fix my wrongs. I did not ask flowerstorm to make me her deputy. I suggested to her to choose another, but said she can choose me if she wants.”

        • Mistlebranch walked up to Lynxshadow. “As your clanmate and friend, I will support you in your decisions, and if you chose for Flowerstorm to lead us, I’ll follow her to the edge of the territory.”

          (Sorry That was kinda dramatic but I felt it was needed 😛)
