Cat and Mouse.//(Dove)

[Brambles]

Mistypaw burst out of the brambles that clung to her fur. She could feel there sharp tug, then the relief after she broke away from the undergrowth. One ear flicked backward, listening to the sounds behind her. Smokepaw's paw steps and breathing assured her that he was there with her. She assumed Mudpaw was not far behind. Mistypaw wove through the sparse trees and undergrowth, following her sister's scent that had led them toward the Lookout Cliff. Oh no. No NO! The Dark gray femme's mind roiled with confusion, hurt, and anger at the thought of what she assumed her sister was doing near the Lookout Cliff. Mistypaw hoped for once that her prediction was wrong.

Shadowtail rolled over lazily, pink tongue swiping over his maw. Satisfied with the meal that the mouse he had caught provided. He was glad for Dawnleaf's company, and even happier that they had decided to just leave the Clan meeting and remove themselves from the tense atmosphere. As Shadowtail went over his thoughts, the wind shifted, carrying to him the fresh scents of all four of his kits. What could they possibly be up to?

Mudpaw burst out from the side, taking long, frantic strides. Soon he was side by side with Mistypaw. "What is she doing?!" Mudpaw yowled, feeling frustrated and extremely scared for his sister.


Duskpaw stopped suddenly, looking out over the precipice of Lookout Cliff. Her violet eyes looked down, suddenly curious about what was at the bottom. One hesitant paw was suddenly over the edge, and she wondered if the rest of her should follow.


Dawnleaf tensed, also scenting her kits. Eyes wide with confusion, she ran, tearing through dense undergrowth to finding her kits. 'I must find them,' She thought, determined. A gut feeling was telling her all of her kits were in trouble. 'I love all four of them. Mistypaw, smart and talented. Mudpaw, courageous and loyal. Smokepaw, careful and quiet. Duskpaw, clever and determined.'

[Brambles]

Shadowtail started in surprise as Dawnleaf ran, after having scented the kits as well. The black tom snorted as he heaved himself to his paws, muscles roiling beneath sleek black fur. The RageClan warrior sat back on his haunches, then sprang forward, paws flying across the familiar ground as he raced after his mate. Then he smelled it. Fear-scent, on all of his kits. Mostly from Smokepaw, Mistypaw and Mudpaw. This was not good at all. The black tom barreled through undergrowth, catching up to Dawnleaf, as they exploded from the brambles and ferns. Shadowtail slid to a halt, paws skidding upon the bare earth as yellow pools widened with fear. 'Duskpaw, no!' He yowled, having seen his kit place a paw over the precipice.

Mistypaw glanced sideways at Mudpaw, unable to answer his question. She feared she already knew though. The gray femme wove through the trees and ferns, leaping nimbly over blockages and other minor pieces of debris. Smokepaw fired past Mistypaw, and the feline watched her dark gray brother shoot ahead, then burst out of the undergrowth. A yowl of surprise and fear punctuated the air, and Mistypaw whimpered. Oh DreamClan, no! The gray she-cat exited the undergrowth to so Smokepaw and Shadowtail entangled. The apprentice had collided with his father. Mistypaw's gaze flicked away from the pile of claws and fur to the edge of the Lookout Cliff. It was there that she saw Duskpaw. 'Duskpaw, no! Don't do this!' She yowled, fur standing on end with fear.

Dawnleaf gave one glance at every member of her family, and then rushed forward to Duskpaw. "Daughter, please!" She cried, despair echoed in those two words.


Duskpaw saw everyone of relating flesh and blood come for her. 'They still do love me,' She thought, pondering it. Briefly, her expression was something of awe and warmth. But it soon changed back to its hard, bitter state. "You all have chosen your side. Why still care for me? Psh, as if any of you ever did." She turned her head so no one could see the pain flash through her pretty, vivid eyes.
She heard her mother move and hissed. "Don't come any closer," She still avoided everyone's gaze.


Dawnleaf stopped, slidding of loose gravel, stopping at the edge of the cliff but still a few rabbit lengths away. "Duskpaw, my lovely daughter. Please don't do this," Dawnleaf pleaded.


Mudpaw watched his sister turn to avoid everyone's face. "Duskpaw!" He cried out, even though he was near enough she could've heard him in a regular tone. "Don't leave us, Duskpaw." He murmured, voice softening, so tender and distraught.
Mudpaw was never one to really show his feelings. Not completely. And never has he used a voice so soft as of now. Never.

OOC: What is exactly gonna happen? haha. Is anyone gonna die? Oooh one of the apprentices/ kits should get jealous. Spice things up. hahah idk!
soryy, kinda hyper and boredd )

[Brambles]

Mistypaw stood fixed in place, unsure of what to do. Never before had she been in such a situation, therefore she knew not how to respond to it. Mistypaw flicked her gaze at the cats gathered. All of her blood gathered in one place, for all the same reason. To save one of their own. Green optics switched over to Smokepaw's form as Mitsypaw mewed hoarsely, 'Smokepaw, do something. Please..' The dark gray tom-cat stared wide-eyed at his sibling. Never before had he considered himself one to be asked for advice or anything else. It was not his forte to make decisions. The gray tom flicked yellow orbs to Duskpaw's form, murmuring softly as he slowly padded forward. 'Duskpaw, you don't want to do this. Trust me. You still have so much to live for. And we all care for you..' Smokepaw paused, then his voice grew stronger. 'If we didn't care anything for you, why would we all have busted our tails to find you before you did something stupid!' Tail lashed qwith emphasis.

ooc:: I'm not sure, its your call haha. Whatever you do works for me.

OOC: Okay. : ) I think... Mudpaw will die by accident and it looked like Duskpaw pushed him... and everyone will hate her... and she becomes all mad and whatever, and she and Mistypaw fight to the death, idk who wins.
And Smokepaw is trying to find a way to get to his brother's body.
I know it's kind of gloom and doom but that's what makes things....not interesting but more....idk how to put it ha.
Oh and Dawnleaf is devestated and doesn't pay attention to what her other kits are doing and Shadowtaiil tries to help Dawnleaf by trying to comfort her.


BIC: Duskpaw turned, her gaze wary as she looked upon Smokepaw, her quite brother. And then at Mudpaw, her closest sibling.


Mudpaw inched his way toward her, ahead of him was his sister who was within a whisker's length now, the left of him was the edge where he knew if he fell, he would meet death, and the right was where their family was standing, tense and watching with frantic eyes.


Dawnleaf watched Mudpaw fearfully. She let out a slight whimper.


Duskpaw slowly let her guard down, and let Mudpaw approach her. When he was right across from her, she crawled to get nearer, to nuzzle his neck. When she did that, Mudpaw slipped and the sharp dissappearance of his neck made her head follow slightly, making it look like she pushed him off.


Mudpaw's cry was abruptly stopped and a sickening thud could be heard.


All was silent, until Dawnleaf let otu a mournful cry, "Mudpaw! My poor son, my kit! My child is dead!"

[Brambles]

He was stunned into silence. The poor tom-cat could not begin to comprehend what had just occured to his family. Mere moments ago, it seemed as though Duskpaw would relent, and she shifted closer to Mudpaw whom had begun to make his way toward her. And then he fell. No, was pushed, it seemed, by Duskpaw herself! Yellow optics widened with shock and breath caught in the black tom's throat as he let out a croak of pain. Oh, no! Mudpaw! My son! Shadowtail yowled with grief at the fact that his son passed. And at the paws of his own family! Why had DreamClan truly abandoned him?

'NO!' Smokepaw's scream of true sorrow and pain swept over the cliffside as the dark gray tom bounded over to the edge, daring to look down where his brother's body lay at rest. 'Oh dear DreamClan, no!' He croaked, yellow pools searching desperately for a place to descend to Mudpaw's broken frame. He found a narrow and steep path, strewn with rocks, but it would suffice. The tom lept nimbly to the pathway and began his descent, heart wrenching sobs tearing at his chest.

Green pools were clouded with sorrow and pain, such inense pain! Mistypaw's eyes seemed alive with the one emotion burning through her veins! Why had everything come to this? vivid pools of pale green switched from gazing, sorrowfully, at where Mudpaw's body had last been to Duskpaw's slender frame. Ivory claws unsheathed, wrenching apart the soil under her paws as Mistypaw began to seeth with anger. 'You killed him! You killed him when all he wanted was for you to return to us safely! Murderer!' Mistypaw's voice rang out as she directed the words at her own sister. Her crisp melody dripped with venom, and it almost seemed as though her words alone would destroy any creature, so malicious they were. Gray tail lashed with anger as Muscles rippled beneath her slender frame. Haunches coiled, then sprang her forth as the feline shot toward Duskpaw, claws and fangs aimed for her exposed throat.

Dawnleaf rushed to the ledge as well, trying to glimpse her son in the last light of that terrible day. "Mudpaw!" She screamed, wishing her son would answer even though she knew he would never again.

Duskpaw was quick, turning to hiss and swipe at Mistypaw. She dare not confess up that it was a mistake; her pride and feelings torn to shreds. 'My family dare believe think I would push my own brother? The only one I really did love in this wretched family. The only one who wouldn't look at me like I was completely evil. The only one-' Her thought cut off as she focused on Mistypaw, watching hatred seep through her kin.
