ooc:
because of inactivity, spiderclaw, played by star, is going to die in this post. the new deputy will be chosen by me, and will be a cat that is played by an active and literate member. it could be anyone. the owner of the cat i choose will be pmed and asked if they would like the position before i post it. i will play spiderclaw's death.
ic:
a dark brown tabby tom padded throughout the trees, ears pricked, eyes narrowed, searching for any trace of movement. as he padded along, he felt his fur beginning to prickle, his pelt itching as though he felt something was wrong. shaking his head, he couldn't believe anything could make this warm, leaf-fall day, bad. as he padded on, though, his fur prickled more, and he stopped, not liking the feeling that pulsed through him. eyes darted back and forth among the trees. why do i suddenly feel unsafe? he wondered, looking around. the bushes rustled, and as he spun around, hackles raised and claws unsheathed, an unbelievable force hit him. he found himself sprawling in the dirt, the breathe knocked out of him. claws met his flesh, and yowling with pain and anger, he sunk his teeth into the paw of his attacker. immediately the stench of fox filled his nose, and the sunlight lit up the bright red fur of the animal. as soon as he sunk his teeth into the paw, jaws snapped at his back and he found himself being tossed through the air, losing his grip. he tried to scramble to his paws, but he wasn't fast enough. the fox pounced and claws ripped into him again and again. screeching, the tom fought valiantly, raking the fox's muzzle with unsheathed forepaws and snapping at it's legs until it's white paws ran red with blood. still, the fox was stronger, and it's blows came faster and heavier than his. he felt his strength fading in his senses fade. with one more, final effort, he clawed the face of the fox, feeling satisfaction as its blood sprayed through the air. then his vision blurred, and he saw no more as a wave of darkness covered him. he knew he was dying, and closed his eyes to join his mother and sister in starclan.

Creamtail was walking through the forest when she smelled the fox. She ran after the smell and found spiderclaw laying there. Spiderclaw no! she yowled as she ran up to him, she had been collecting herbs and had attached some cobweb to herself while looking. She grabbed the cobwebs and pressed them to his wounds, tears streaming down her muzzle. She added pressure to force them to stop bleeding. She smelled around for the fox, determined to get revenge on the thing that hurt her friend. SHe smelled not too far away and attacked it, screeching in fury as her claws made there way down its muzzle. The fox looked at her and yowled as her claws made her way down its face. It grew angrier and took a bite out of her leg. Creamtail screeched and jumped on it's back, trying not to let go. She bit its neck, hoping to cut it jugular. She bit with all her strength and thought she hit it when she fox started making a gurgling sound. She jumped off, only to find that the fox was faking. It reared back and hit her in the face, knocking her out for a heartbeat. She opened her eyes to find that it was back over at Spiderclaw. She got up slowly and creeped up to it. The fox heard the cat coming and quickly spun, only to get scratches on top of the bite,to its neck, it was shocked for a moment, then started choking as its life-blood poured onto the earth. Creamtail limped over to Spiderclaw and started trying to dress his wounds again, trying her best to ignore her own. She felt her own body start to give out and put some cobwebs on her own and kept going on Spiderclaws. Don't you dare die on us Spiderclaw! We need you! Silentstar needs you! she kept owrking with the only thought in her head was, He is gonna be ok! He is gonna be ok!

Dreamstep was walking in the forest when she suddenly smelled fox, cats, and blood. She ran towards the scent and found dying Spiderclaw and Creamtail fighting a fox. She jumped on the fox so Creamtail could tend to Spiderclaw. She gave the fox a hard swipe across the face and felt hot blood on her paw. Ignoring the blood, she bit hard into the fox neck, hoping to kill it. Then the fox turned and bit her on the leg, making a gash in Dreamstep's leg. She saw the fox was almost dead. So she ignored her pain and tripped the fox and deeply scratched it. She knew then that it was going to die. She turned to Creamtail and meowed, "what do you need me to do?" She was suddenly aware of the pain in her back leg, and collapsed.

ooc:
again, a cat can't kill a fox. :l
ic:
a small black she-cat crouched in the bushes, eyes narrowed, muscles tense, tail swishing slowly. the black bird pecked on the nuts, unaware of her presence. just as she tensed to spring, a horrible shriek rent the air, followed by dreadful snarling a yelping. the black bird winged to the sky immediately, calling an alarm. she was too startled by the screeches to care, and darted into the trees. silentstar weaved through the trees, paws swift and when she emerged in the clearing, she saw a fox staggering into the bushes, bleeding. her eyes fell upon the body of spiderclaw, motionless on the ground. his eyes stared sightlessly at the sky, glazed over and reflecting the clouds. the stench of death was so familiar it almost masked everything in the clearing. her eyes flitted to creamtail and dreamstep, crouched by the fallen warrior. they were both bleeding, and were possibly to stricken by shock to realize the deputy was dead. for a heartbeat she closed her eyes, struggling to contain her grief. you would have made a wonderful leader, spiderclaw. starclan be with you, she thought, eyes closed. the tip of her tail twitched back and forth in grief. but this was not the time to grieve. she had to be strong for her clan. stepping forward, she announced her arrival with a soft mew, padding over to her medicine cat and warrior. "he's dead," she murmured softly into creamtail's ear. she wanted to wail the words to the darkening sky, but she forced herself to be quiet. "let's get back to camp. you're both hurt," she ordered, gathering all remaining strength left in her. she grabbed spiderclaw's battered body by his scruff, and began to carry him. he was bigger than her though, and his legs bumped against the ground as she led the way back to camp.

[yellow]The tom didn't know what to expect. One minute he'd been hunting, trying to clear his mind of the troublesome thoughts that haunted him, when a piercing cry had shattered the silence. In a mixture of surprise and premonition, he'd raced towards the source, only to stumble across a scene that chilled his heart. There was Creamtail, and Dreamstep, and then...
His blood ran cold, and he felt suddenly dizzy. Paws growing weak and numb as he slowly walked over to where the two were crouched beside the tom's lifeless body. He swallowed a heavy lump in his throat and stood over the limp figure. He wasn't sure what to make of it; he smelled fox, and the overpowering stench of the deputy's blood as it spilled across the ground.
Was he supposed to be sad? Was this the time when he was meant to swear and curse at the tragedy? He was filled with the same dazed sense he'd received when Dreamstep had spoken with him the other day, and he realized he had not said anything to her since. Even now, he couldn't completely bring himself to look at her, but despite the fact that he'd never really known Spiderclaw, the tom had been noble, and had supported the clan alongside Silentstar.
Closing both eyes momentarily, he opened them again and stared out of one as he bent over to touch his nose to the tom's eartip.
"May your spirit have a safe trip to Starclan."
His eyes clouded briefly. It was strange, losing someone so quickly. He and Spiderclaw hadn't been close, but he knew that the tom was treasured in the hearts of all the Thunderclanners, and he wasn't sure how any of them were supposed to walk into camp and announce his death. It didn't seem right, as if they were moving on too quickly.
But do not linger, or the deceased will be ragged down with your regrets.
Sighing, he blinked once before straightening. He was barely aware of his leader's presence, yet he never really had payed much attention to social status. He'd treated everyone as any other clan member, and that wasn't about to change.
"Starclan watches him now, so we'll just have to keep on walking. It's what he would want, after all."
He meowed, smiling softly at his company. He was able to look at Dreamstep; not directly, but it was reassuring to himself to know that he was at least able to face her.

Creamtail looked at his body one last time before running off back to her camp. She had to force the tears to stop, and get back to her Medicine Cat duties. While she was running through the trees, she Thought of her old love, then pushed him away and ran into the camp. She sat there in the middle of the camp, tears coming back to her face. Spiderclaw is dead! she wailed loudly for the whole camp to hear.
