“Chosen my path?!” Icepaw snarled. “Yes, I have chosen my path. I am only loyal to the Clans and to StarClan. All I wanted was to serve them!” Her voice echoed through the forest and Icepaw flinched. It wasn’t exactly true. She had wanted to serve the Clans, but she wasn’t loyal to them. Only to herself.
¨𝓌𝒽𝓎 𝒶𝓂 𝒾 𝒷ℯ𝒾𝓃ℊ 𝓈ℴ 𝓃𝒾𝒸ℯ 𝓉𝒽𝒶𝓉 𝒾𝓈 𝓃ℴ𝓉 𝓂ℯ¨ thought silver bramble
¨well ¨mewed silverbramble ¨if it necessary ¨ her claw came out ¨i would kill if necessary¨
“Are you loyal to Starclan and the clans too?” Dappleclaw asked.
“Okay, so right now, we know that Flameshadow, Icepaw are loyal to the clans, while I’m not. I suppose you aren’t too, Silverbramble?”
“So why are you here? Did your BELOVED clans send you to spy?” Dappleclaw taunted. “Look, St is right in front of you. Go and serve them. They will be sooooooooo grateful. Or, you can send the clans a dream, if you are powerful enough. Explain to them that St is going to toy with them and say you are helping. Oh yeah, don’t forget to mention that you are Icepaw. I am so sure that your alive kin, if there is any, will be so happy that you are keeping your loyalty while in the DF.” Dappleclaw kinda enjoys making Icepaw declaring her loyalty and making her mad. This is a stupid hobby. She chided herself.
Icepaw flinched at Dappleclaw’s harsh words. “Maybe I will,” she said evenly. “But, first, I need to know who agrees with me.” She scanned the assembled cats, her blue eyes cold and stony.
“Hey, leave her alone!” Flameshadow spat. “Just because she has more decency than you doesn’t mean you should pick on her! Just leave her alone!”
Icepaw dipped her head to Flameshadow, her expression guarded. “Thank you,” she whispered under her breath. “I hope that means you’re on my side.”
Flameshadow winked. “I’ve got your back, kid.”
¨my mother is my target¨ thought silverbramble (guys i going on summer break see you in 3 months or less :()
then silverbramble noticed what dappledclaw said “i am not loyal to starclan” hissed silverbramble
Icepaw peered through the thick ferns bordering the Dark Forest. A small silver tom was sitting in StarClan territory. She strained to hear him as he mewed something to a nearby tabby.
Flameshadow watched Icepaw from a distance as she peered through the territory she most likely would never get to venture into. Maybe she knows how hard it is, she thought with a sigh. She’d never forgive herself for losing Pebblepaw, even if it wasn’t her fault. She’d never get to see Sagestep or Breezeshimmer again, and probably not her other kits once they joined their father in StarClan. Better to tell her now that she probably won’t ever see her loved ones again rather than break her heart later. Her heart seemed to crumble at the thought, but regardless, she padded toward the white, splotched with gray, apprentice. “Hi, kid.”
Icepaw glanced over her shoulder, eyes widening with surprise.
“Hello,” she mewed quickly, relaxing when she saw Flameshadow. “What are you doing over here?”
“Just keeping an eye on you,” she said with a faint smile. She nodded toward the StarClan cats Icepaw was watching. “Are they your kin?”
Icepaw shook her head. “My kin… are all still alive. Mostly.” She stared at the ground. “I just thought….” She trailed off and glanced back into StarClan, where a few other cats were gathering. Then, one of them, a small blue-gray she-cat, caught her eye. Rainpaw.
“Do you know her?” Flameshadow asked gently.
Icepaw trembled, grief threatening to overwhelm her. “Her name is Rainpaw,” she finally whispered, staring at the ground. “She’s my sister and…” She broke off hopelessly, overcome by regret.
“…Oh,” Flameshadow breathed, barely a whisper. “I’m so sorry I asked. I… I’ve done bad things too, if it makes you feel better,” she sighed, her blue eyes clouding. “Are you okay?”
“Yes,” Icepaw responded quietly. “I’m alright.” She turned back to Flameshadow, looking at the ground. “You don’t have to tell me… but what did you do?”
Flameshadow half-smiled. “I… I was going to kill Frostwind, who was my Clanmate. He… He, uh, killed my mate and best friend. But I couldn’t bring myself to kill him, and so he killed me.” she said huskily. “I have killed cats in battle before, but I get the feeling that the reason I’m here has something to do with Frostwind.”
Icepaw nodded slowly, her thoughts racing. Flameshadow seemed so…. good; even her reasons for being in the Dark Forest seemed justified.
“Unlike mine,” Icepaw murmured softly, the words slipping out of her before she could think.
Shaking her head, she turned back to Flameshadow.
“I think you deserved to go to StarClan,” Icepaw told her.
Flameshadow’s eyes softened. “If I deserve to go to StarClan, then you do too. You’re an apprentice, for StarClan’s sake! I could never bear to have my kits here too…” she shook her head. “I’m okay with being here,” she finally told the white she-cat. “So long as it means that other cats who deserve StarClan get to go to StarClan.”
Icepaw shook her head. “I may be an apprentice, but… I don’t deserve StarClan. Not after what I’ve done. But… maybe…. it’s better we’re not in StarClan.”
Flameshadow glanced at Icepaw for a long moment before saying, “Y’know, I think you might be the least mouse-brained one here,” she smiled, nudging the white she-cat. “And I think that I’ll stick with you, no matter what. We both might be stuck here, but maybe you’re right. Maybe it is for the best.”
“You okay with being a sucker here doesn’t mean other cats that deserve to go to Starclan will get there.” Dappleclaw looked annoyed. “You guys think you are nearing ‘good’ right now, and you are right! But being good is not the same as doing good! If you are brave, and ready to redeem, go to Starclan, tell your kin you are sorry, and will do anything to make up for your mistakes! They might believe you. They might not. But you tried. And that along makes you better than all the lonely, sad ghosts that wanted to make up for you their mistakes but ended up dying alone! You are lucky! You can cross Starclan territory any time you want! They don’t! So grab the chance and go to Starclan NOW!”
Flameshadow blinked at Dappleclaw. “That’s weird that you’re being sort of… Nice?” she said awkwardly. “And that you were apparently spying on us…?” she shrugged. “Whatever.”
“So what will you do?” Dappleclaw stared right into Flameshadow’s eyes
Flameshadow sighed. “I… I don’t know.”
(Guys sorry I’ve been missing😂You are having such a moment I don’t want to interrupt😂)
Lol 😛 It’s good to see you back, Foggy! <3
Thanks Flamey!
Dappleclaw stalked into Starclan territory, grabbed a cat by its leg, and dragged her into the Dark Forest. Before the cat could shout she pressed her face hard into the ground. “Tell me everything Starclan is planning.” She hissed. The cat didn’t talk, so she bit into her throat to make her talk.
Juniper`Branch would creep into an odd, but somewhat clearing seeing a she-cat grab a StarClan cat by its throat. She’d walk out of the bushes walking towards the she-cat and looking back at the StarClan cat. Juniper thought it looked briefly like someone she knew, but she couldn’t place her paw on it. She shook her head mentally and looked back at the she-cat.
” What are you doing?! “
Silverbramble stalked out of a bush and saw dappledclaw garbing a starclan cat by the throat “what’s happening” she asked but before anyone could answer she \went straight to the starclan cat and asked her multiple questions like ” what are the starclan cat planing are you a intruder?”
“Haha this is so fun.” Dappleclaw truly relished the moment. “You know when I was young I saw my parents being tortured like this right before they were killed. But the thing is, they will turn into ghosts. You won’t. And if you don’t talk I’ll make sure your last moments are long and painful.”
Flameshadow burst out of the undergrowth after hearing the commotion that just had to be started by Dappleclaw. “What in the name of StarClan are you doing?!” she exclaimed as she took in what she saw before her.
“Doing what weaklings like you don’t have the gut to do.” Dappleclaw was annoyed at the sight of Flameshadow. Another nice, stupid, weak good cat.
“Trying to get the information we need dummy.” Dappleclaw said. “Starclan cats are stupid and weak, but they have some nice information we need.”
Juniper`Branch’s mind finally clicked.
This was her mentor…what was her name…?
“Rose`Leap!” she breathed
You’re kidding me.
“I can take care of this, you go do whatever you dark forest cats do,” she’d shoo them away a bit forcefully
“It’s okay, I’m so, so, so sorry.” she’d whisper into her mentor’s ear trying to comfort her.
Rose`Leap was in a trance of being shocked and in a daze.
// I’m just gonna note: Juniper`Branch is generally supposed to go to StarClan, though the things she did in the past stopped her, and she was sent to the Dark Forest.
“Do you… know this cat?” Icepaw mewed, beginning to back away. Her ice-blue eyes blazed with fear and she tilted her head at Juniper Branch curiously.
“Hi Miss nice little do gooder. You’re back!” Dappleclaw meowed sarcastically.
Juniper`Branch would glare at Dapple`Claw, ruffling her fur than smoothing it.
She’d glance at her somewhat StarClan like pelt, though it was covered by her Dark Forest pelt in an instant.
// SARCASTIC MODE ON- sorry bout this, Juniper is sharped tongued AT TIMES if you check the CC page-
” Ah, nice to see your doing well and fine, ”
” sarcastic, check! Bad attitude, check! And, whats last, ” she’d pause still using her sarcastic tone ” Dark Forest Cat, check! ” she’d say the last part as her voice was practically dripping in sarcasm
// @ Rowan’Paw / Ice’Paw
I forgot to reply to your comment so I just commented in general, it is below 😀
(LOL IC it😃My do I regret my character creation: ( When I made it I didn’t get my personality type and now I wanna change like, all of it 🤣 I think I’ll do it now. Okay, done (I guess I’m not supposed to do it : ()
“Did you just notice, fellow Dark Forest cat? Ahh, we’ve been talking for a long time, and you just noticed me? Okay, we know that you are stupid already, and thank you for letting us know that you are blind too, my dear, dear, fellow Dark Forest cat. <333"
(BTW, I'm not what you mean about the pelt thing, could you please explain it? Thanks! <333 Another BTW, let's start another comment below, this one's too thin 🤣)
// AHhHH sure! For the pelt thing, not sure which one:
1. She was supposed to be sent to StarClan because of her regretting her actions when she died, though, StarClan didn’t allow it so here she is, so her pelt sometimes will look like StarClan if what she says is GOOD and not EVIL/BAD. 😀
2. If it’s ruffling her fur, than use google :p
“Why is everyone in the Dark Forest GOOD?” Dappleclaw looked out of words. “This is the Dark Forest right??? So why is everyone here thinking for our foe’s happiness??? We are bad guys!!! Why should we help, or be nice to the cats who turned their backs on us?! Remember Snowtuft? He was good in his last moments, and even if he sacrificed himself, the stupid, foolish Starclan cats still speak badly of him! To them, there’s only one chance for each cat. And sadly, our chances are over.”
“well if you are going to be chatting i gong to get information” hissed silverbramble she looked at the starclan cat “what are you up to” she hissed
“STAR +CLAN IS GOING TO DO CHAOS IN THE CLANS”
as soon as they said that dappledclaw let go and the starclan cat leaped of
“AGGGGH!” Dappleclaw looked at Silverbramble in fraustration. “She got away! That idiot Juniper`Branch (sorry Juniper`Branch) shooted me away! And now Starclan is going to wipe us out!” She stared at Silverbramble. “Now, YOU don’t have love in Starclan right? Can I count on you in the bussiness with Starclan?”
Flameshadow sighed at Dappleclaw. “It’s not like you have all of your kin and friends in StarClan,” she growled. “And because I DO, I need to keep believing that I still have a shot at being with them again. And I am not throwing away my shot just so we can be typical Dark Forest cats.” (There may or may not be a Hamilton reference in there 😉 )
“See? You hear her? Starclan doesn’t care about anything but themselves. This whole, ancestors watching over you thing, is just a fantasy cats made to make them feel better. Stop believing. It’s pointless. FACE REALITY!!” Dappleclaw stared into Flameshadow’s eyes.
Juniper`Branch nodded quietly to Ice`Paw,
“Yeah, I do know her, she was my mentor.” she added “I killed her though”
She’d perk her ears toward Rose`Leap when she said
” STARCLAN IS GOING TO DO CHAOS IN THE CLANS ”
Juniper`Branch looked at her mentor, her once bloodstained pelt was now well and groomed, she’d smile softly then shake her head going back to reality.
“What do you mean Rose`Leap?”
Rose`Leap would stand realizing what she had just blurted out and she’d reply:
” I never said anything! ” Rose`Leap would say turning around to dash back to StarClan territory
Dappleclaw tried to slit Rose`Leap’s throat after she talked, but Juniper`Branch shooted her away. “WHAT ARE YOU DOING???????!” Dappleclaw hissed angrily at Juniper`Branch. Watching Rose Leap’s disappering form, she growled in fraustration. “HAPPY NOW? She got away. Starclan will know that we know. I don’t care about the living clans. But Starclan won’t see it that way. Soon they’re going to wipe out the whole Dark Forest to keep their secret! And we will all be doomed because cats like YOU and Flameshadow who still has loveeee~~~~ for Starclan will not fight! One look at your kin and you’ll be defeated!”
“Wait,” Icepaw called toward the StarClan cat. “Do you know a StarClan cat called Rainpaw?” Conflicting emotions were bubbling up in her chest, but Icepaw pushed them away. “Is.. is she alright?”
Silverbramble herad what dappledclaw said “i want to see those starclan cats try to fight us are not some of them dead cause of us?”
sneered Silverbramble “i would LOVE to rip their throats out”
Juniper`Branch’s fur sparkled for a moment, she looked like a StarClan cat for a moment then it faded away.
” Look, we might have a second chance, some StarClan cats get sent here, maybe it goes the other way around too? ” she said thinking of her pelt sparkling for a moment
She’d pause adding,
” I’m sure most of you have kin and loved ones in StarClan and would love to see them again. ” Juniper`Branch’s fur sparkled at the end of her comment shining like a StarClan cat then it slowly faded away, she’d hold her head high her eyes sparkling
” And besides, we can learn info while we’re at it, ” she’d say glancing at Dapple`Claw
” So, what do you guys say? ” she’d say perking her ears as her pelt shined slightly more than the other DarkForest cat’s
“I don’t, but that’s not important. How do you suppose we blend in?” Dappleclaw asked, eyes narrowed
“give me a sign and i tear Juniperbranch
pelt off
just look at it .
it’s shinning she probably is a starclan cat under cover” growled silverbramble meanly
“I’m in,” Icepaw mewed, her blue eyes gleaming. “We need to protect StarClan. If StarClan falls into ruin, the Dark Forest may also.”
“Honestly, I don’t care that much about murdering.” Dappleclaw meowed, staring at her paws. “I just wanna reveal to other cats who worship Starclan as their ‘only saviour’ what bunches of pathetic hypocrites Starclan cats are! I wanna see the horrified looks on their faces when they found out.” Dappleclaw’s eyes gleamed. “But if killing is fun I’ll do too.”
Juniper`Branch’s eyes gleamed at their agreements, her fur would sparkle brightly, and her eyes just as much.
” Dapple`Claw, I suppose since I can look somewhat like a StarClan cat sometimes, I can pretend I brought you guys in as “prisoners”…? ” She’d flick her tail awkwardly at her suggestion
“Somebody might catch us so we’ll need some support from a real StarClan cat, who do you know when you were alive that would probably trust you or might be dead? ”
she’d pause adding,
” I know, Rose`Leap, the StarClan cat from before, she was one of the fairest cats I knew, She’ll probably help, and if I remember correctly my parents might be there too, ”
She’d think of what else to say,
” Some of the people we love are still alive in the Clans, and if what Rose`Leap said was true about chaos in the Clans… ” she’d pause her eyes clouding ” I couldn’t bear to see my poor sister dying. ” She’d say softly barely audible
She’d shake her fur forcing herself to pull herself together,
” Any other ideas? “
“Wait wait wait, before going in, we have to clarify our goal. Is it to stop Starclan’s plan? In that case, I don’t think any Starclan cats are going to help us. Roseleap won’t work. She might be fair, but we, uh, are not on the best terms with her, right? Second, if we go in as prisoners, Starclan cats might kill all of us, including you, since they are the ones who drove you into the Dark Forest, you cannot be sure that they will trust you. In the best circumstances, they will just take us away from you and separate us, which is, no need to say more, a disaster. Besides, even if we go in, then what? We cannot and must not wipe out the entire Starclan, and they outnumber us like, a lot. No, we have to think of another way.”
(This comment is getting thin. I’ll start my idea in a new comment.🙂)
silverbramble felt something in her chest something she felt in moons “okay i’am in but it better mean slathering a few cats” meowed silverbramble meowed a little quietly “but i think the kits and apprentices are in involved”
“How about, one or two of us who are good fighters go in, bite and claw around to attract attention, but stay close to the border and stay alive, while others create a dream sent directly to 1 to 3 medicine cats, and the cats left will go in, grad a Starclan cat, best a medicine cat, leader or some famous cat, and force them to tell the secret like we did with Roseleap? However this might not be convincing enough, best to let the dream senders go in and record Starclan cats’ ‘chit chat’, though this is hard. Oh, if you are really as close to your sister as you say, Juniperbranch, maybe send a dream to her, too. This plan can make the most of us, each cat can get what they want.” Dappleclaw meowed, tails folding. “But we should probably hurry if this is the plan. If Roseleap spreads the words around Starclan will be prepared.” She added.
silverbramble looked up at dappledclaw ”
i joining the little spy group there is nothing to do here” she meowed
“Why don’t you join the attention attracting group?” Meowed Dappleclaw.
Juniper`Branch’s eyes shone,
” Great! My sister, Holly`Cloud, I’m sure would listen to me! Maybe Vine`Leap may too. ” she’d say nostalgic thinking of her sister and the tom.
” Any volunteers for fighting or dream sending? ”
She’d pause
” Dream senders may have had a better reputation when they were alive, ” she’d wince thinking of what she did
” I think Dapple`Claw should do fighting, you know, because of before. ” she slightly trailed off
” But, I think I’ll do Dream Sending, I know, Holly`Cloud, Vine`Leap, and my parents, Dandilion`Drift and Silver`Claw, who are in StarClan ”
She’d think for a moment,
” And if I remember right… ”
She’d think for a few seconds
” Holly`Cloud had kits recently, so maybe I can talk to one of them? ”
// I’m probably going make one of the kits in Star Clan, named: Juniper`Kit, Coffee`Kit, and Sweet`Kit //
“I don’t think I can fight,” Icepaw sighed. “I may be able to send dreams but…. my family may not trust me anymore. I can try at least.” She lifted her head, trying to look brave. “But I can think of one StarClan cat for us to capture….” She trailed off sadly.
” i will be in the fighting” meowed silverbramble ”i am better at that”
“Great! I can see you are an awesome fighter.” Meowed Dappleclaw.
“Then you do grab Starclan cat part” Meowed Dappleclaw
“So you can do the dream sending.”
“I’m not going to fight anyone,” Flameshadow declared, “but I’ll help. I’ll help with the dream whatnot. Tell me what I can do to help.”
“If you guys are as serious as I am, than we need organization. We need a leader to stop arguments, and to make the details and the full plan. Of course, the leader is only leader in this action. Since I came up the idea, I vote myself as leader.” Dappleclaw meowed.
Her eyes glistened with amusement
” Did I just hear Dapple`Claw compliment someone? ”
She’d flick her tail going back to work,
” I’ll also vote Dapple`Claw to take charge of fighting, ”
She’d pause considering her vote,
” Though, If I could, can I lead in sending messages to the Clans? Since we have, ” she’d pause searching for words ” the not best reputations, we’ll have to be convincing, and dream senders will also have to realize it will most likely be hard to get them to agree, along with the StarClan cats. “
“Of course you vote for yourself as leader,” Flameshadow snorted. “I don’t need to be leader or anything, but I want to help with the plan, and you’re going to let me, regardless of what you say.”
//a little bit rude alert
“See, this is the kind of cats that messes with our plan. Like I’ve said before, only ORGANIZED actions work. I guess you think if we just bust in and it would work right? Well, it doesn’t. Flameshadow, I thought you could be reasonable before. I know we weren’t on the best terms, but I never thought you would take it out on THIS. So what, you are going to corporate if one of your good, nice friends do the leading? Well, news flash, they didn’t come up with the plan, I did. And where were you when we were working, trying to get things right. Na da. You were gone, only coming back and ruining something basically everyone agreed on. Don’t you want to save the clans? If you think cooperating makes you feel bad, fine, why don’t you be the leader of the spying part? If it just not suit you that I came up the plan and organized half of it, and is going to participate in it, please go, don’t block the ways for rest of us.”
“I know that Flameshadow probably have a good reputation here, but if we are going to do it we need to be organized, and Flameshadow if you are so upset vote some other cat. Find a solution if you are not happy. Don’t just complain and whine and spread negativity when every other cat is ready to participate.” Dappleclaw looked sharply at Flameshadow
“I think jupiterbranch should lead she…” silberbramble could’ent find the right words to say why ” she made me feel something i havent felt in moons” she meowed
Juniper’Branch, clearly awkward by the situation that was going on she’d glance at her pelt which now was dark and her bright yellow eyes even seemed dull, she’d flick her tail beginning to talk,
“Could we possibly avoid fighting for all of our sakes?” she’d say almost mentioning Holly’Cloud mid-sentence.
She’d roll her eyes to herself looking at the invisible barrier that didn’t let any of them pass, glared at it her pelt darkening even more.
She’d force her pelt to go lighter, which sort of worked? Her pelt shone little and her eyes were slightly brighter, she’d sweet talk herself and when she was done she looked like a real StarClan cat, she’d walk closer to the barrier seeing two small kits running around, one of them stopped walking closer to the barrier, I smiled at her she sort of reminded me of Holly’Cloud.
I pawed the barrier and the kit bounced into the DarkForest, while the other slowly followed behind,
“I’m Coffee’Kit! Who are you?” The kit that reminded me of Holly’Cloud said
“Juniper’Branch”
Coffee’kit’s jaw dropped, “AUNT Juniper’Branch!!! I’m Holly’Cloud and Vine’Leap’s daughter!”
My eyes softened and I licked the kit furiously my best friends kit and my sisters kit, my eyes shone NOTHING will hurt this kit. I’d glance at the other kit who was slowly coming closer,
I’d begin to speak
“Who are you?”
// ANDD DONE! CLIFF HANGER WHOSE KIT IS IT????? :)) Did this Mobile :p
//I can’t see any other comments on this kit so I’ll do it
“Well, well, well isn’t that Diamondkit! You are dead too? Well I must say I’m impressed at the speed you family’s members are dying out.” Dappleclaw walked to the kit and glanced at his glittering pelt, her eyes full of amusement. Diamondkit was her former denmate Bumblenose’s kit. Blondenose, the cat she has once loved furiously——how stupid——and the cat she had killed herself——well that must be what they call “kiss me kill me”. Dappleclaw purred out of, what, joy? Sadness? She wasn’t sure and doesn’t want to be. “Hey there little guy! Wouldn’t you take me to see your beloved father?” She said in a strangely lovely tone. Pushing her muzzle toward the kit, she said in a poisonly (made up a word lol) soft, sweetish voice.
“Please~~~~~~~~~?”
Before the cats could argue any longer, an enourmous dark brown tabby she-cat with piercing blue eyes steps in. ¨I´m looking for the cat in charge.¨ She growled
“Good luck~~~~~~~~” Purred Poisonivy. “I imagine you’ll fine things quite, interesting around here.”
(Congratulations on getting you cc approved! <333)
Dappleclaw felt like her breaking point is snapping. All her life she had been guided by emotions. Emotions that led her to her death. Good feelings, bad feelings, strange feelings… She is done with that. And now these cats… They couldn’t do a single thing without feelings and emotions. Flameshadow and Icepaw are needless to say, Juniperbranch more needless——𝘨𝘰𝘴𝘩 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘢 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘯 𝘤𝘢𝘵, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘮𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘪𝘵——and now Silverbramble too. Dappleclaw felt helpless——EFFICIENCY!! She stepped back. “Whatever you say just make the plan yourself.” 𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘴! 𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘵 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘴𝘰𝘰𝘰 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘰 𝘰𝘯𝘦, 𝘴𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨! 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘧 𝘢 𝘯𝘦𝘸 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘯 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘵𝘦! 𝘐 𝘧𝘦𝘭𝘵 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘰𝘰 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘴, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘪𝘳𝘤𝘶𝘮𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘦𝘵𝘤? Dappleclaw…a name some cat who used her good, kind nature gave… 𝘕𝘰! 𝘏𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴𝘯’𝘵 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘮𝘦! She has been thinking about this for a long time, and now she’s going to say it. “I’m going to change my name. I’m not Dappleclaw anymore. From today I’m Poisonivy.” She said abruptly.
(HHH Poison Ivy is from DC comics! I hope I don’t have to pay the copyrights stuff! :p)
“Wow,” Icepaw breathed. “Can you just… do that? I mean, change your warrior name? Don’t you need a Clan leader?” She was still a bit angry at Dappleclaw – well, now Poisonivy – but mostly just surprised.
Juniper’Branch’s tail lightly swayed she’d walk over to Ice’paw and Poison’ivy
“ I received my name right before I died, by my sister, not the Clan leader. “ she’d pause “ She’s not able too, though StarClan allowed it. If she hadn’t done that I’d be Juniper’paw. “
Through those words it became obvious why Juniper’Branch loved her sister so much.
She gave Juniper’Branch’s warrior name.
“ I think she gave me the suffix -branch because of ‘The Olive Branch’ meaning peace. “ she’d say as her eyes became nostalgic and soft
“Lucky you.” Poisonivy said emotionlessly
Juniper’Branch would roll her eyes smiling, she’d consider these cats like friends.
“ Anyway, what are we going to do about this leader problem? “
She’d say as Coffee’Kit was still huddled by my stomach staring in fear at Poison’Ivy, Ice’Paw and the brown tabby. I’d flick my tail beckoning Diamond’Kit to come over by Coffee’Kit.
“Why not? This isn’t a clan.” Meowed Poisonivy. But mostly she just thought given names are stupid.𝘕𝘰𝘣𝘰𝘥𝘺 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘮𝘺𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘮𝘦. 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘳𝘶𝘭𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘱𝘪𝘥.
Juniper’Branch was thrilled to see Coffee’Kit the though she said,
“Auntie, I miss Juniper’Kit and Sweet’Kit.”
I froze, JUNIPER’KIT- all of the sudden I became emotional and my love welled in my chest for my sister, who named her kit after me.
I licked the kit one last time and picked her up in my grasp.
I began whispering comforting notes to Coffee’Kit. When I looked up I heard Dapple’Claw say she was changing her name to Poison’Ivy.
I’d look up respectfully stating
“ Ah, what a pretty name! “
I’d perk my ears hearing a brown tabby she walk in, I’d immediately flatten my ears looking at Coffee’Kit making sure she was okay, five words surged through my veins,
This kit will not die.
I’d lightly put the kit down and Coffee’Kit would dash under my stomach eager for protection.
“ I’m looking for the cat in charge “ the tabby said
I’d internally roll my eyes /GREAT TIMING. We don’t even have a leader yet./ I’d think
I’d clench my jaws until they slightly ached.
This will be interesting.
The Tabby stands at full height, towering over the other cats. ¨Tell ne where the cat in charge is or I´ll claw your face off like I did to my leader.¨’The she-cat said.
“What do you want with the cat in charge?” Poisonivy asked, eyes narrowed.
¨I want to them to know that I´m a new member of the Dark Forest and that I´m ready to rip apart any enemy thrown at me.¨ The She-cat snapped at poisonivy, giving her a look that said ¨try me, buddy¨
“Right, I’m the leader.”
“Oh, really? Why didn’t you say so before?” the she-cat mewed. She flexed her large claws as if ready to pounce at any moment. ” I love that you think your intimidating. Do you even know who I am?” the she-cat hissed.
