The Cloudy Gorge
This deep, deep gorge is so high up towards the mountains that it is in the clouds. You can barely see where the gorge ends and when you'd step off the edge. This is where the larger and fiercer birds, like hawks and eagles, live so if you plan on catching one, come here. However, keep this in mind: they will see you better than you will see them, so be careful- they have the higher advantage! Strictly restricted from kits, elders, and younger apprentices.

Moonblossom stepped into the gorge. "Everyone, be on the lookout for falcons! Feel free to ask for help. I don't want anyone getting hurt or killed." Moonblossom scaled the cliffs, looking for birds.

Silverpaw trembled. I can do this, I can do this, he thought as he followed after Leafpaw.

Darkflame padded over to Silverpaw. "Just stick with your sister, okay? You and Leafpaw can work together." He nodded at him reassuringly before leaping after Moonblossom. He quickly heard the cry of an eagle overhead, but the clouds and fog were too thick; the bird was nowhere to be seem. He flicked his tail towards Moonblossom. "Did you hear that?"
ReplyDeleteMoonblossom nodded. "Over there," she whispered, stalking along a narrow ledge towards a nest that was emerging through the mist.

Silverpaw was shivering. He felt scared and frightened, and all he wanted was to go back to camp. "You'll be fine," Leafpaw whispered, as if sensing his fear. Silverpaw stalked forward, and then he felt the ledge crumble under his feet. With a yowl of sheer terror, he leapt for the rock face, but it was no use. Silverpaw tumbled down, down, down into the gorge, yowling loudly all the while.

Darkflame yowled in alarm and terror for the apprentice, streaking down after Silverpaw like dark lightning. They both disappeared into the mist, and when the yowling and noise subsided, a silence overcame the entire patrol.
ReplyDeleteMoonblossom streaked after Darkflame. There was silence. Tears came to her eyes. This is all my fault. My little brother died because of me. She fought back sobs, and she yowled to her patrol. "Back to Falconclan, everyone!" Her voice quavered with unshed tears, and Moonblossom waited for everyone to regroup.

Leafpaw had seen it all, like in slow motion. She hadn't been fast enough at all. Her teeth just missed her brother's scruff by a fraction of a mouselength. For now, she felt numb. Leafpaw saw her sister Moonblossom's face. She was in pain, and she was blaming herself. Leafpaw felt tears come to her eyes. Silverpaw was gone.

(so u want him to be dead? or not?)
ReplyDeleteThe Head Warrior was nowhere to be seen. The patrol stood there, shivering in the cold and in devastation, waiting for the dark warrior to come back from saving Silverpaw. The mist surrounded them, the trembling cats shrouded by the heavy mountain fog.
(I want Silverpaw to be dead)
ReplyDeleteMoonblossom sat, trembling. She felt so bad, Silverpaw's death was caused because she chose this location. Just then Leafpaw padded in with a falcon in her jaws. "Darkflame's just behind me," she mewed. Moonblossom looked at her patrol. "As soon as Darkflame comes back, we'll leave. I must notify Brookstar of this sad event."
~Moonblossom
(I'll just comment in the leaders' den saying that Silverpaw is dead)
(ok)
ReplyDeleteDarkflame padded to Moonblossom, Silverpaw's body in his jaws. He rested the dead apprentice on the ground gently before looking sadly up at Moonblossom. Usually, he would have said: "I told you so" if an apprentice hadn't got hurt and died. "I'm... sorry about Silverpaw. I know you feel like it's your fault but it's not. But... I know you would want to mourn his death with his body actually there, so I brought him back even if I knew he would not be able to be saved." Darkflame glanced at his paws awkwardly. He wasn't good with heart-to-heart talks such as this.
