- DawnClan - A RP Made By Moonclaw -

Whitepaw cocked her ears. Did she hear something, a small voice being carried by the wind. She whipped around. "Did you say something, Sparrowpaw?"

Sparrowpaw froze, and and panic suddenly struck him as well as the feeling of love. "I.. Uh.. Well.." Sparrowpaw stuttered, and eyes wide.

Whitepaw raised an eyebrow.

" I didn't say a word." Sparrowpaw said, his words hollow. He turned tail, and briskly padded back to his den.

Name: Firefur
Gender: Male
Description:Solid orange and white tom. His paws and chest are white, with the rest of his coat being a dark ginger. His eyes are dark blue, and like his father's they are almost always sparkling laughter or mischief.
Personality: Quiet, and forgiving. He is a thinker, although he is not exactly tactful when he has something to say.
Rank: (Could I please be deputy?)
Mother & Father: Yewpaw: Warrior (Apprentice) -Dead + Co-stripe: Warrior = Firefur
Other: He is secretly in love with Rainheart, and thinks of her often.
His father, Co-stripe, is still alive, although his mother is dead. Yewpaw was still an apprentice, and was too weak to give birth to kits. Only Firefur survived. Co-stripe's details are underneath.

Name: Co-stripe
Gender: Male
Description: Black with a white muzzle and left hind paw. His eyes are light green, and almost always sparkling with laughter or mischief. Personality: He is a very fun cat to be with. He's always coming up with new jokes, or something to humour. He knows when to stop, and is hardly ever annoying. He doesn't like trouble makers, and can be very serious sometimes, but not often. You either get along really well with him, or he makes you tick, but he's fairly easy-going and good tempered.
Rank: Warrior
Mother & Father: Swirlstream: Warrior - Dead + Eaglewing: Warrior - Dead = Co-stripe.
Other: Already has a kit, Firefur.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Firefur): I lay in the middle of the clearing, watching Rainheart cross the clearing to talk to Dawnstar. She looked slightly worried, but that only made her look prettier. Then I rolled over and flipped onto my other side, moving my head so I could see what the apprentices were doing. I sighed and closed my eyes. Anyone could see that Whitepaw and Sparrowpaw were in love. Young love, why can't it all just be that simple? I thought. Like with Rainheart and I. By now she must have guessed my affections lie with her.

I opened my eyes to the same problems, and the same old view of the camp. I got up, and shook myself.
"Rainheart, Dawnstar, I'm going hunting. Does either of you want to come?" I called.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Co-stripe): Yewpaw, why did you leave me? Why did you have to join StarClan, when your heart lay with me? I closed my eyes as a wave of grief enfolded me. Then I slid into a sleep where Yewpaw visited me. We were running through the forest, so close our pelts were touching. We looked at each other, and we both knew the other felt the same bursting joy in their hearts. Then, all of a sudden, Yewpaw collapsed with a piercing wail. I knew what would happen, I had already had this dream several times before. I skidded to a stop, and pushed my nose into my mate's fur. I tried to stop her wailing, but she wouldn't. Finally she got enough breath to say to me:
"The kits are coming. You must look after them when I'm gone."
Then she gave one final push and said her last words:
"His name's Firekit(fur)"
I licked her desperately, trying to make her stay with me, but she died anyway. I dug my claws into the ground, and caterwauled my grief to the sky.

That's when I woke up. I staggered into the clearing, and promptly flopped down on the dirt. I felt horrible...My mind was fuzzy and it was far too hot...Then I coughed, and I knew I was sick....

(( Approved, all I have to say is.. AMAZING! ))

Dawnstar heard Firefur call. "Sure! I'll be just a minute.." Dawnstar padded out, and saw Co-stripe lying in the dirt, and looking quite sick. Dawnstar rushed over. "Are you alright?" She asked, voice calm.
~~~
Your chance to tell Whitepaw how you feel, and you blew it! Sparrowpaw thought, irate with himself.

(Thanks!)

(Co-stripe): I heard Dawnstar ask if I was OK, but her voice sounded a thousand miles away. I replied,
"I'm perfectly OK, just a bit under the --" I broke off with a hacking cough, ending with a sneeze. "under the weather," I finished.
I slowly struggled to my paws, and tottered carefully over to the fresh-kill pile. I chose a small vole, not being very hungry. As soon as I had finished, I scarpered into the bushes surrounding the camp, and promptly threw up. I walked slowly back to where Dawnstar was looking at me. Then I fell over again...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Firefur): I watched what Dawnstar was doing. She walked over to my father, who had just fallen over, and mewed something urgently into his ear. He replied in a grating voice, before breaking off to cough. Then he finished his sentence, and slowly, paw by paw, walked over to the fresh-kill pile. He started to eat, and immediatly after, was sick. Then he walked over to where Dawnstar was sitting with a concerned look on her face...
At that look, I bounded over to Co-stripe.
"Father! Father? FATHER!?" I meowed loudly in his ear. No response...

Danwstar was still looking calm, but in side alarmed and panicy. "Co-Stripe? Say something, please!" Dawnstar said urgently,.

(Co-stripe): I didn't know what all the fuss was about. They were standing by my side, trying to make me talk, and I was about to answer, when I saw Yewpaw sitting in front of me.
"Yewpaw! You didn't really leave me!" I whispered hoarsely. Yewpaw gave me a gentle smile before turning and walking away.
"No! Yewpaw, come back! Take me with you, please!"
She turned around just once, and said just one thing:
"It is not your time yet, Co-stripe. When it is, I will come and take you to the ranks of StarClan." Then she walked away, leaving me watching her, wishing I could join StarClan and be with her.
Then I felt a paw nudging my side. It was my son's. I ignored it, in grief for my lost mate. I felt my heart breaking over again, and my will to live snapping like thread...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Firefur): "Please, Father, don't ignore me!" Then my father's eyes suddenly lost focus, and he began muttering at a point in the gorse hedge around the camp. I heard the name "Yewpaw", and knew he was having a visit from StarClan by my mother.
I looked over at Dawnstar. "He's being visited by Yewpaw, from StarClan. Don't say or do anything that could possibly cause her to disappear before she has done all she needs to."
Then, when his eyes had refocused, I jabbed a paw in his side, hoping to draw his attention this way. Something told me he felt it, but was ignoring it. Then, like a spark jumping into a flame, it hit me.
He's lost his will to llive. He wants to be in StarClan with my mother!
"Father, please don't die!"...

Dawnstar's gray pelt shone, and she nodded.

Dawnstar's gray pelt shone, and she nodded.

Whitepaw simply watched, limp, willing Sparowpaw to come back. Then Whitepaw got up and went out towards the camp entrance, to go out into the forest to hunt. Of course he wouldn't! He wouldn't come back!

Sparrowpaw felt like his heart was breaking in two, his only chance..

Firefur: "Please...Yewpaw, not now..." Then he turned and walked away, leaving his father staring after him, surprised.

Dawnstar was a bit surprised as well, and stood there, wind blowing at her fur.

Firefur: "Are we going hunting?" He called to Dawnstar.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Slipstream: The scent of a sick cat brought him out into the clearing. There he saw Co-stripe, lying on his side. When he reached him, his breathing was harsh and rasping. Slipstream nosed his flank. "Can you walk to my den?"

Dawnstar cast one look at Co-stripe, but Slipstream was already tending to him. "Ok," Dawnstar said, and started out of camp.
~~~
Sparrowpaw went into the apprentice den, and then decided something. He was going to tell Whitepaw, but he had to find her first/. "Whitepaw?" He called.

Co-stripe: "I think so." He got up and walked slowly, unsteadily to the young medicine cat's den. There he flopped down on the nearest pile of moss, and closed his eyes..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Slipstream: "Co-stripe! It's important you don't go to sleep now, you might not wake up!" Slipstream muttered to himself harshly as he got the right herbs to cure Slipstream of the deadly greencough. "Idiot! Call yourself a medicine cat? You can't even tell when a warrior is sick!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Firefur: Firefur nodded and began walking to the entrance. He cast just one look over his shoulder, to see his faher walking to Slipstream's den. He decided he would go and visit him later.

Dawnstar reached the foresty trees, where she was best at hunting. She scented the air.

Firefur walked through the undergrowth, until he smelt a crow. He froze until he had pinpointed it...

Dawnstar went a little ways away from Firefur, and scented the air again. Fresh rabbit, mouse.. Wait! She scented the air again.. Fox! It was fairly stale, but they had been here the previous night.

Firefur stalked the crow, but pounced a little too late. The crow managed to fly away just in time, and Firefur sat up with nothing.
He scented the air again, and smelt this time, a vole. Determined to get this one, he stalked, and pounced with perfect timing. Purring proudly, he made his way back to where Dawnstar was hunting.

Dawnstar shook it off, it was probley just a mistake scenting a fox.. Dawnstar stalked a small sparrow, and pounced, she missed, but lashed her paw out and killed it at the last second.

Firefur, watching Dawnstar hunt, walked up after she had killed her sparrow. "Are you ready to head back?"

Dawnstar nodded, and picked up the sparrow in her jaws. She trotted back to camp.
