Re: The Riverclan cats

[Dark**Light]

I looked at Silversoul and said "Ya know. I feel bad that you don't have any siblings. It must be hard not having an annoying sister or brother." I looked at Russetlily and she slunk down. I laughed and said "But I guess that's the fun of it." I licked her head and she bounced up. She looked at Silversoul and said "Hey do you mind if I swim with you? I know a cool game we can play!" I looked at Silversoul and said "It'll be like having a sister. You know...she can be your sub sister. Trust me. She's always wanted a sister and if we keep doing this as a group, she'll start calling you 'sis' so you better get used to it." I looked back at Russetlily and said "Well? What are you waiting for!" I stood up and leaped onto the rocks around the moonshine pool, sending the water everywhere, and dove into the water. I stayed under for a few moments but then I popped back up and said "The moonshine pool is bigger than I remembered! Maybe there's enough room in there for us to mess around. Unless you'd rather stay in the surprisingly cool water." I looked at them and saw a small fin. The stars were shining the water and I realized that it was a dolphin...or so I thought.

Red Rum looked at the leader as he laughed. He chuckled with him.

[❥ Destiny Styles]

(The leader is a girl if you read the post. I won't post til I get on the computer cuz I write a lot.)

[Dark**Light]

(is you on the computer yet? Cause I'm gettin bored.)

[<S t a r c h a s e r>]

Sorry so short I had to leave.

[Dark**Light]

it's okay. What we're mainly waiting for is *Starcatcher*

[❥ Destiny Styles]

Silversoul looked at him, and nodded tail curling in amusement as she swam into the water, head high, lean body perfectly cooperating with her. Swimming all the way over to Graypool she turned and thrusted her back paw into the water to splash them in the face. Giving a purr of amusement she swam away paws working fiercely at the water while her head fought to stay ashore. She swam towards a rock in there and got on it, head lifted, eyes gleaming. "I am leader of RiverClan. All cats old enough to swim, gather to hear my words." She announced reeds overhanging her.

Silversoul knew what she wanted. She'd always felt the destiny to become leader in her paws ever since a 6 moons old, first becoming and apprentice. She loved the feeling of the warriors of Starclan whispering it in her ears while she mewed, "I can do it!" she could do it. She could do it!

She looked below, her pelt was shinning silver in the moonlight.

[<S t a r c h a s e r>]

Red Rum looked over to the female leader. "Okay..so..can i lead a hunting party?" he asked and he had smiled. He bowed and sighed. "I know there is some fresh kill but not a lot really". he said and he looked out of the den and seen the fresh kill pile. It was a small stack going on. They needed some more food. He went back to the den.

[Dark**Light]

I laughed and splashed Silversoul. At that moment I heard a loud, but short, squeak from Russetlily. I looked around and said "Russetlily? Russetlily! This isn't funny! I clambered onto the rock and looked around. I saw bubbles and I said "Oh my gosh...Russetlily's in trouble!" I had no idea what to do and I wasn't thinking straight so I leaped into the water and saw Russetlily bob up. She struggled and screamed "HELP!" I dove under and opened my eyes. I saw a moderately sized shark grabbing her by the left hind leg. I swam right at it and waved a paw at it, scratching it eye. It let go of Russetlily but then it started coming for me. I bobbed back up and swam over to Russetlily, not stopping, and grabbed by the scruff of her neck. She started to paddle with her tree good legs and I leapt onto the rocks just being missed by the shark, who came close to biting me on the tail, that splashed a few inches from the rocks that we were standing on. I looked at Russetlily and asked Silversoul, "How fast can you swim. Russetlily's bleeding bad and needs to get to Hollyclaw." I nudged Russetlily toward her and said "Don't fidget or anything because otherwise you might fall out of Silversoul's grip ,okay?" I heard Russetlily give a faint moan that meant yes and I said "Hurry Silversoul. She needs help and maybe the shark left by now.But don't come until I give the all clear. Got it? I don't want you getting hurt and Russetlily getting hurt even more." I leaped into the water and started to swim. Once I got to the bank I searched for the shark and called "All clear!"

[❥ Destiny Styles]

[You can't really have sharks in the lake but... okay,it's alright.]

Silversoul lifted her head, pride in her paws until she heard. "Help!" she looked down to see bubbles and looked down, seeing what has happened and soon saw him lift himself up, to tell her that there was a shark. A shark? There wasn't hardly any sharks. She meant, there wasn't hardly any sharks at all. She sighed and shook her head. There was always trouble for the clans right? Hearing the all clearing signal, she jumped squarly onto the beach and raced into the set of reeds, heart pounded. Suddenly she exploded into the hollow, feeling her legs shake, eyes wild. "Russetlily is in troubl to was bitten by a... shark." she yowled. She lifted her head to wait. A couple of minutes later she was out. Oh StarClan, Silversoul didn't believe Russetlily couldn't make it any longer. Hollyclaw had a set of herbs in her mouth and was racing towards the reeds, running clearly like the wind past her. "Hurry!"
She raced after her, eyes worried. She came to the beach, seeing blood welling all over the sandy ground. Hollyclaw was at her side gently tending her wounds putting herbs, murmuring gently in Russetlily's ear. Silversoul swallowed and trotted over to Graypool, pressing against his soft, slik-feeling pelt. "You were so brave." she whispered in his ear.

[Dark**Light]

I looked at her and said "You have no idea how painful it would have been to watch my only family left...die. But thanks for what you said. But don't expect me to tell about it next gathering. You can do that yourself." I laughed then walked over to Russetlily. I sat down and stated to lick Russetlily's forehead and in between licks saying "C'mon Russetlily. You can make it. Be strong. Be strong like a clan leader." I heard Russetlily mew and say in a faint voice "I am the clan leader! I will survive! I will be brave like you and strong like...no, not the clan leader, Silversoul!" My head shot up and I said "Did you hear that Silversoul?! I think she just might make it!"

[❥ Destiny Styles]

Silversoul looked at him and rubbed her head against him softly before he got up. She watched him walk away and watch Hollyclaw gently stepside and got to the other side, feeling her flank. Her face turned into slight panic and Silversoul realized something was wrong. After a couple of heartbeats later, Hollyclaw lifted her head to meet Graypool's gaze. She watched eyes shinning with almost grief. "She's going to probably walk with Starclan now." she whispered. Silversoul shook her head. No. She said to herself and lowered her head to figure what was wrong. Russetlily's flanks were breathings too fast. She looked at her eyes, they were clouding. She shook her head and tried to hold back a wail of grief. StarClan couldn't do this. They were almost so close... why?

Silversoul felt so weak now. All her apprentice feelings were over all she felt was pure grief walking across her stomach and gripping tight. She could hardly never feel grief and now here she stood, watching a cat die right in front of her, seeing her scene on how she died she lowered her head and bowed, eyes closed, pressing close to Graypool. She knew now, that he'd be devasted.


[Hey mind if she dies. It'll make it a little more intresting on how they fell in love or whatever]

[Dark**Light]

(No. And your right. They could fall in love after she dies but then they get into a fight about how Graypool wants to be left alone but then he realized what he had done was wrong and asks for forgiveness or something like that.)

I watched Russetlily closely and I saw her breathing quicken and her eyes cloud. I looked up and said "No! She can't die! Not now! She never even got to go to a gathering!" I watched as Russetlily's breathing slowed and soon stopped. I looked around and said "No! It can't be possible! She can't die! Not now!" I looked at her and buried my head into her fur. I lay down and said very sadly, "Go tell the clan leader that Russetlily died. I have to stay with her." I didn't lift my head up so it was a muffled voice that could not really have been heard. I looked up and yowled to Hollyclaw "Just go and get it over with! GO!" With tears rolling down my cheek I buried my head back into her fur and said "I never thought that my apprentice, especially since she was my sister, would die before I did." I stayed there and waited for Hollyclaw and Silversoul to go and tell the leader, and bring her to her body...but I wasn't going to move.

[❥ Destiny Styles]

Silversoul's eyes were filled with sorrow for him. She sighed and closed her eyes, bowing her her head. She then instantly opened them by the sound of his demand. Getting up, she started to walk away, followed by. 'Just go!' She tried to bottle up the frustration that started to fill in her mind. But wasn't it just because his sister just died? Hollyclaw joined her, rubbing against her. "It's alright, dear his greif he can't stay like forever, for she is now walking with the warriors." Murmured Hollyclaw.
"But she was so young. It was too early for her to die I should have been playing apprentice games and--" Hollyclaw hushed her with a flick of her tail. "It was time for he to die..." Hollyclaw mewed calmly. Silversoul wasn't covinced the she-cat was hyper, a lot of enthusiasm she wasn't ready for this! She died so terribly... Silversoul shuddered as they entered the hollow. She stopped. "Go, go tell." Hollyclaw murmured.
"But- but I'm now."
"Tell them."
Silverosul cleared her throat and walked over to the camp announcing the words, "All cat old enough to swim, gather here to hear my words." Every cat started to circle her, muttering. "Russetlily's dead!" she yowled. "We'll need warriors to get her and the queens and elder to pepear her for vigil and wish her a safe trip to StarClan." The leader stepped out. "Neonfire and Hallowreed, you go get her." she mewed.

[Dark**Light]

Once they had left I stood up and grabbed Russetlily by the scruff of her neck. I padded slowly back to the camp and right inside the entrance, I dropped her and said "I'll miss you lil' sis. Tell grandma I said hi." I sat down by her body and watched as three kits came bounding up saying "No! Not Russetlily! I was gonna play catch the cat with her tomorrow!" I looked at the kits and said "She's walking with Starclan now. She's not coming back." The kits looked at me with sadness and I looked at them with sorrow. I flicked my tail and they all came bounding toward me. They nested their tiny faces into my fur and I said "She may have died today, but tomorrow, she'll be bounding with clan leaders." I looked at her and said "Goodbye, Russetlily." The kits ran back to their mothers and I sat beside her, waiting for the cats to take her away...but I wasn't about to let some strangers to her take her to her burial site. I would do it myself.

[❥ Destiny Styles]

Silversoul looked as the kits were sad. No wonder they liked her... she was like a kit in a warriors body. She suddenly felt like this was all her fault and hung her head as the queens and elders picks her up and put her in the middle of camp, and started to disguise her scent with nice sweet flower scents. "We will keep vigil for her tonight." Murmured the leader. "She was a great warrior," commented the deputy. All cats murmured agreement and Silversoul turned away and lied down in the nest head on the ground.

Everything was her fault why? She just recently let a warrior she cared about, die and her mother died because she made a foolish mistake and ate the rabbit she caught before giving it to her mother. She was just so slow and arrogant and she wondered if she'd ever learn.

She tried to not wail like a kit and got up walking to the side of Russetlily, putting her nose in her soft but cold fur. "I'll never forget you..." she whispered silently while others surrounded. "Sister." She kept her nose in her fur, eyes closed.

[Dark**Light]

I stood up and walked up next to Silversoul. I rubbed her and said "This is all my fault. If I hadn't let her stay and sent her straight back to Hollyclaw to get some rest, she would've never gotten attacked by the shark. It would've been me. But better me than her." I looked at her and said "It wasn't your fault." I sat beside her comforting her and rubbing her. A lot of cats thought that I would be the one who needed comforting, and I was, but it was harder on her because of the fact that she thinks it was her fault.

[❥ Destiny Styles]

Silversoul looked at him and licked his cheek. "Don't blame yourself, Graypool." she mewed calmly. She purred quietly at his warmth as she quietly at the limp body in front of her. She looked at him, her blue eyes meeting his blue. "You know what I realized? It's no one's fault." she mewed. She looked over to see Russetlily nodded and fading. "She had made it..." she rubbed her head against his neck before getting up, and walking into the nest, she curled and fell asleep. Her breathings slow.

Silversoul awoke to find herself in bright hunting grounds and looked around. She was in StarClan's hunting grounds. She looked around for Russetlily and there, she saw her walking up to Silversoul. She looked strong and wise, no wound and her scent didn't disguise anything. "Greetings." she mewed, bowing her head. Silversoul watching her letting out a huge purr. She then stopped and looked at Russetlily. "The silver moon will shine brightest on the River and make it strong." She faded. "Wait... wait! Don't go I don't under--" Silversoul yowled but then everything faded leaving her in complete darkness. She awoke to see the moon shinning overhead and walked out to Russetlily's body for vigil.

[<S t a r c h a s e r>]

brain fart.

[Dark**Light]

I padded up to Silversoul and saw her stir. I poked her and nudged her saying "Wake up! Wake up Silversoul! It's time."

~Brain Fart! Grrrrr.

[❥ Destiny Styles]

{Can you think of more plz?}

[Dark**Light]

(Sorry. I was on my phone at the time, at a soccer game, In a screaming crowd with mosquitoes eating me alive. So I was kinda in a rush.)

[Dark**Light]

I sat by Russetlily's body and watched as two warriors began to pick her up. I hissed and waved my paw at them, telling them "Get away from her! I can carry her myself!" I heard Silversoul stir so I glared at the two cats and padded up to them. I nudged her saying "Silversoul! Wake up! Wake up Silversoul! It's time." I padded back to Russetlily's body and heaved her onto my back. I laid down in an uncomfortable position, waiting for Silversoul, so that Russetlily wouldn't fall off my back. My eyes clouded with tears as I felt Russetlily's soft fur on my back. I licked her paw and said "I'll never forget you Lil' sis. never." I looked up at the two warriors that were sitting in front of me. I glared at them and said "If any of you dare touch Russetlily, I'll tare your pelt to pieces!" The warriors took a step back then sat down. They smirked and said "Well don't kill us when we cover her in dirt." I glared even fiercer at them and said "I'll bury her! If one of you dare ruin her soft, fluffy coat...I'll tear YOU to shreds!" They snickered and said "Yeah, sure." I stood up and got in their faces saying "Try me." One of them put their forehead to mine and said "Watch me." We were just about to get into a fierce brawl.

[❥ Destiny Styles]

Silversoul heard a voice when she was streaching and growled, "Okay, okay I'm up!" Walking out, her eyes completly getting to the orginated clearance, she walked over to Russetlily's body and watched them start to carry it. She watched lost in thought as she smelt the sweet scent of Russetlily's scent then suddenly she got out when she heard fierce retorts from and yowls from Graypond and Firepad. Turning, she walked between them calmly, compeltly seperating them from them as Firepad gave a fierce yowl, and started to charge at Graypond again, again Silversoul steppped away from him and talked with gentle texture. "Don't." she mewed looking at Graypond. "I know, your sister has died but these were their clanmate too, they deserve to."
She turned to Firepad, orbs sharp and narrowed. "Donnot disrespect someone and somecat that dies. Don't you understand that a cat just had a horrible death?" she asked. When he didn't answer, just look wide eyed at her, she turned away. "Exacly." She flicked her tail towards Graypond. "Come on Graypond, were going to bury her ourselves so you have a little more time to grieve." she mewed, trying to keep her voice strong. Turning away she picked half of Russetlily's body, and waited, tail curled.

[Dark**Light]

I stood up and padded over to a hole that Firepad and Swimmingpelt had dug. I placed Russetlily on a patch of moss then I began to tear up the moss out from underneath her. I pulled up the moss and carefully placed it into the hole with her on top of it. This wasn't part of the burial ceremony, I just wanted Russetlily to be comfortable on her travels to Silverpelt. I then placed large leaves over top of her and made sure there were no cracks in the leaves. After that I padded back to Firepad and Swimmingpelt and said "Are you guys coming or not?" They nodded and padded after me. I looked back to see Swimmimgpelt gone. I turned back and saw Swimmingpelt going back toward the clan leader's den. I rolled my eyes and walked back to the burial site. Firepad was beginning to cry. "She was so beautiful! I was hoping she would be my mate! But now she's dead." I glanced back toward where we came from to see the leader and Swimmingpelt, side by side, walking up to the burial ground. Followed behind them were the three kits and their mother, Streamshine. Streamshine nodded and sat down right next to me. We all watched the leader, waiting for her to begin the ceremony. The kits ran up and sat at the edge of the hole. I sat behind the kits with Streamshine on my left side and the clan leader on my right. I glanced at Silversoul and lipped "I'm sorry. I didn't know Streamshine was gonna sit here." I flattened my ears and looked guiltily at her. Then I shook my head and inched closer to the hole, sitting right behind the kits. So close that if one fell backward, they would knock right into my stomach. Streamshine inched closer, soon she was next to me. The leader stood up and padded u next to me again. I hung my head and stared into the hole where Russetlily lay, concealed by the leaves placed strategically on top of her. I watched as Firepad and Swimmingpelt padded to the other side of the hole, waiting, hoping that Silversoul would join them on the other side.

(Swimmingpelt is the other cat who was assigned to carry Russetlily. The one who was next to Firepad when Graypond and Firepad began arguing. Also when Russetlily was attacked by the shark, they were at a small secluded beach that only the cats could get to. Humans never dared swim in the deep parts so they could get to the beach.)
