A Disturbing Sight :Open:

[Leaf/Frost]

Leafwing's ears pricked, annoyed. She had been hunting, and a voice had scared her prey away. That's when she caught a smell that brought back sickening memories of her childhood. The smell of blood.
Creeping towards the sound, she recognized the voice. It was Featherheart.
"It's your brother Rainkit..... I'm so sorry." The she-cat's voice was layered with sadness.
Rainkit's brother.... Stripekit?! Leafwing peeked over the bushes that she was hiding behind. In the middle of the small assembly of cats that had gathered, was Stripekit. His body was battered and beaten, and even from a distance the crimson line separating his head from his body.
Leafwing began to step backwards. She wanted to be a far away from the kit's remains as possible. No... Not again.... Brother.....
In her shock, Leafwing stepped on a twig, her weight breaking it with a loud snap.
Fox dung!

[Cherryblossom//Cloudkit]

Cloudkit had always been very good at sensing other cats emotions, and today the air was thick with despair. Her mother was absolutely devastated, and the emotion was so strong that Cloudkit felt as if it were her own. When her mother had fallen asleep, she snuck out and sprinted into the trees, following the scents of her Clanmates.

A new scent washed over her as she approached a clearing; anger. She could hear other cats from her Clan meowing in fury, and when she sniffed the air again to see who all was there, a sudden--and unpleasantly fresh--stench of blood reached her nose. Her stomach tightened, and her blue eyes widened in horror as her tiny white paws carried her forward. She froze for a moment, only a brief moment, when she saw the limp form of a small tabby tom. And then she was running, a mournful wail rising from deep within her and ripping itself from her throat.

"No!" she yowled, her voice full of agony and rage, "No, not Stripekit!"

[Wolfy//June]

Wolfstar bowed his head as the kits came up to find their brother's body, dead and mutilated. They are so young, and for this to happen? Poor kits, he thought, shaking his head. He looked up to see many of his clanmates trying to hide tears that fell apon their faces'. "Everyone, go back to camp. This is not a matter that needs to be discussed. I will bury his body and there is nothing left to say." he meowed.

[snowyowlfeather]

"How can you say that? This kit died because of some heartless brat and we just bury him here?!
This is a sign, Wolfstar and if your going to ignore it, then I don't want to be your deputy anymore!"
Feqatherheart yowled, clouded by sadness and rage.

[Cherryblossom//Cloudkit]

"Please," Cloudkit mewed, her tiny voice shaking with suppressed emotions, "can't we sit vigil with him? I want him to go into StarClan with honor. I... I don't want to abandon him." She turned her head away from her Clanmates and burried her face in her dead brother's side, hiding her tears and trying to drink in what little was left of his familiar scent. "Walk among our ancestors with pride, Stripekit. Remember we love you."

ooc// wow... she seemed a little overly-mature there... i suck at rping kits 0.o

[Wolfy//June]

Wolfstar shook his head. "I am not being heartless, or ignoring this. I am doing th ebest I can for my clan. I know that taking him back to the clan would be a sign of weakness in our enemies eyes. I don't want anymore cats to get hurt." he rasped, nudging the kit softly with his nose.

[Weepingkit]

Weeping walked out of a bush toward the large mob of cats sat down in front of Wolfstar and chuckled.
"You still don't get it do you? All of your enemies already think your weak and nothing you can do now will change there opinion about you. So if i were you i would take him in and do whatever it is clan cats do with the dead."

[Cherryblossom//Cloudkit]

Cloudkit looked from her leader to Weepingkit and back again, uncertainty and sadness clear in her eyes. She glanced at Rainkit for a moment before looking back down at Stripekit's--she stopped that thought before it could go any further. She would not think the word body to describe her brother, even if he was dead. But it was true; there was very little warmth left to his pelt, and his eyes, though open, her blank and glazed over.

"Please Wolfstar... it would mean a lot to us if we could say goodbye properly," she mewed, hoping what Weepingkit had said would mean that she could take her brother home one last time.

[Wolfy//June]

Wolfstar felt anger bubble up inside him. "No! I am doing everything to protect my clan!" he snapped, his voice and body trembling. His head was spinning and he could hear a dark, manipulative voice in his head. Accusations. They think you are wrong, Wolfstar. Give it up! the voice said. No, he would never do that.

[Weepingkit]

Weeping looked concearnd.
"The only thing that can help your clan right now is to take him in!"
Weepy looked amazed at what he just said but stayed with it and glared at wolfy.
"I don't want this place to lose a good leader. Now please take him in."

[Cherryblossom//Cloudkit]

Cloudkit shrank back from her leader, her blue eyes wide. "Surely it wouldn't be so bad to take him home, Wolfstar?" When she saw the undiluted anger in his eyes, she quickly changed her path. "All right, so we can't take him home. Can Rainkit, Stormkit, Snowfur, Coalstorm and I at least sit vigil with him?" She wasn't sure Stripekit would make it to StarClan if his family weren't there to say goodbye and help him on his way. She felt like it would kill her to leave him alone as he made that journey. It just wouldn't seem right.

[Weepingkit]

Weepy looked back at Cloudkit
"Your not helping much!"

[Cherryblossom//Cloudkit]

Cloudkit scowled at him. "Stripekit isn't your brother, now is he? I just want to be with him until his spirit has gone to hunt with StarClan!" She started slightly when she realized she'd said "isn't" instead of "wasn't", but manage to keep up a consistent glare in Weepingkit's direction.

[Weepingkit]

Weeping got annoyed by the situation
"You can do that or actuality help your clan! At least you have seen your brother I was never granted privilege! Now you can either sit here while cats die, or you can do something that matters! What would Your brother want you to do?"

[Cherryblossom//Cloudkit]

Cloudkit blinked spastically, stunned. She'd never really thought about that before. She swallowed and tried to think about how Stripekit would handle the situation. What would he do if the situation had been reversed, and she had died instead? "Stripekit would turn his greif into rage," she mewed quietly, looking down at her deceased brother with a lingering fondness in her eyes. "Are you suggesting... I try to take revenge?" she mewed uncertainly. She was only a kit at the moment, but she was almost old enough to be an apprentice, and when she'd learned to fight... she shied away from where her thoughts were taking her. She wasn't sure she'd be able to take revenge without losing who she was. She refocused and waited for Weeping to respond.
