He's NEARLY dead, Jim (OPEN)

Slushpaw walked into the clan. "Fishstar! Salmonstripe!" She yowled, her cheek bleeding. "Are you here? Anyone?" She yowled. She just met her father, her uncle, an evil Spiritclan cat and her brother was on the possible verge of death. "Whitefoot?!"

Tansyfoot heard her apprentice calling out and rushed out to meet her. She saw the blood on Slushpaw's cheek and immediately panicked. "Oh no! What's wrong?!" What should I do?

"Ripplepaw. We went looking for something and we were attacked and Ripplepaw may be in the paws of Starclan soon-" suddenly, the overwhelming emotion taking over, she let out choked sobs and screams as the events played over. Even though her other side of family just comforted her, she was still scared. "He's being taken care of by said cat, not the attacker, t-though..."

Willowpaw came running over. "Where's Ripplepaw?! What happened to him!" The diluted gray and black calico meowed frantically, her sky blue eyes wide with concern.

She respected her words again. "We... Found who our father is." She dared to say, blurting it out. "I'm scared. I don't know what's happening!" She cried, falling to the ground.

Willowpaw stared horrified at her sister. "I told you not to go looking for him! Thunderclan and Windclan drove them out! That's why i ran away from him i wanted to go back to mommy!" The calico meowed and sniffed her sister wounds. "Thank Starclan Rust didn't hurt you to bad, but I'm worried about Ripplepaw. And if your wondering why i know Rust it's because he tried to kill me once and then dad attacked him and he swore to get revenge. I'm sorry i brought this upon you! If only i had died at birth Ripplepaw wouldn't have gotten hurt and you wouldn't have either, and you wouldn't have known about dad!" Willowpaw sobbed feeling sorry for her siblings and anger towards Rust.

"I... Oh, Willowpaw, it's not your fault, I just wanted to understand, and Dad is a nice cat, but I..." Slushpaw started, eyes started to soften further. "I just don't know..." She licked her sisters head, being about five inches taller than her.

Whitefoot bounded into camp after an evening walk, the blood stench hit his nose immediately. Pushing through the small crowd he gasped at the sight of his apprentices littermate. "Where's Ripplepaw? Some cat please get Fishstar immediately!" He spat at the other cats sitting idly by asking questions.

"He's... Dead, Whitefoot. He just wanted... To meet Moonlight..." She coughed, tears trickling down. "I need to talk to you all privately. Now. Get Troutstep and Salmonstripe. Please." She said, and walked behind a willow tree.

Willowpaw crouched on the ground crying over her dead brother. "Ripplepaw, oh Ripplepaw!!" She cried.

Troutstep was sitting in his usual shadow watching the apprentices frantically tell Whitefoot and other Warriors what happened. Ha! Serves them right for meddling with things they can't handle. Besides, it's Salmonstripe's fault for having kits with such a...a...fleebag! he spat the last word aloud.

Tansyfoot stood there, bewildered. She walked away slowly after being dismissed. Was there something with rogues going on that she didn't know about?

She started. "Ripplepaw, by some cat, was told who our father was. A rogue medicine cat. Ripplepaw wanted to find him and ask him some questions- even try to hurt him. I didn't want him to- it would have just made him more angry, I... I came to drag him away if any dangers came. We found the rogue cat and he was killed by a deranged warrior of... Spiritclan, who sprung out of a bush and killed him and sliced my cheek and leg... I couldn't do anything. Our father tried his best to save him but he died. I... It's hard to believe, I know." She explained, trying her best to explain. "I want you all to know that I am not a traitor to this clan, however, I just have traitorous parents." She just wanted to put that out there.

Whitefoot's mouth hung open in shock, dazed he padded for his brother. The only cat he wanted comfort from at that moment, burying his muzzle into his brothers fur to hide from the wails. "He was my apprentice, is this my fault?" He half whimpered, half whispered.

Willowpaw, still crying, ran over when Whitefoot said that. "No its not your fault.. It's that Spiritclan warriors fault." She meowed trying to comfort her brother.
