"I... Uh..." Moonheart stumbled on his words for a moment. His eyes still had a glassy look to them, but he tried his best to explain what happened. "I was at the Greater Glade, looking for herbs for Owlpaw. I smelled Robinstar and Yellowclaw's scents around a bush - I thought I'd say hi to them - but when I went over, they were dead." Moonheart's tail tip twitched ever so slightly, and he continued, "Just lying on the ground there. The blood was drying on their fur." The somewhat revolting scent wafted up from Twistedpath as she chewed some herb - probably something to calm him down, Moonheart reflected - but he didn't move.

Owlpaw filled his mouth with chamomile and began chewing. Despite the situation, he felt he looked rather like a chipmunk. Once he was done, he spat the bitter herbs on the leaf Twistedpath had already prepared. "These should help you feel better, Moonheart," he offered to the warrior. "Everything's going to be okay... Starclan will guide us."

Hawkeyes258 "It was about time for Robinstar to bite the dirt, you know," Amberfang discussed her leader's death as if it meant nothing to her. "She was kind of old. And Yellowclaw was scary." She paused and sniffed; they had reached the edge of the forest. Before them, the great hill of the Glade rose from the ground. "I don't see any bodies anywhere..." Moonheart dipped his head and lapped up the tangy pulp. Under normal circumstances he would have objected loudly at the taste.. but for now he felt it was best to do as he was told.

Breezewhisper snaps out of his thoughts. "Mm? Oh I'm just rather upset. Yellowclaw was my mentor."

"Oh really?" Amberfang hummed. She didn't sound interested. "What a pity. Should we go take a look over the hill? There could be a murderer lurking up there, you know. I'd rather stay down here."

"Sure let's go." Breezewhisper said making his way towards the hill. He pricked his ears in case something made a noise. "Wonder what killed them though. Had to have been cat but who wanted them dead"?

Amberfang followed Breezewhisper reluctantly, but was glad he had gone first in case anything jumped out at them. "I dunno," Amberfang said with a shrug. "I bet it was Moonheart who killed them. He's a walking bad omen."

"Do you think...?" Moonheart said hoarsely to Twistedpath. He gave Owlpaw a scared look before moving deeper into the medicine den and out of sight of the rest of the clan. It doesn't feel right hiding from my clan like this...
"Why do you think cats will be spreading rumors about Moonheart?" Owlpaw asked his mentor. "He wasn't the one who did it... there's not a speck of blood on his coat!"

(I've got this little plot rolling around in my head - that Moonheart (while he doesn't know it yet) is destined to be evil, and is gonna kill some cats later on. I feel like he kind of knows he has bad stuff banging around in his head, but isn't 100% aware of it yet. It'd be interesting to see where that goes)

Amberfang sighed. "If you say so..." In a stroke of annoyance, she pushed past the tom cat and bounded over the crest of the Greater Glade. "Oh..!" Amberfang cried. She had jumped right through a bush and had almost toppled over two bloody bodies. "It's... Robinstar and Yellowclaw..."

Moonheart seemed to wilt in place. "Oh.. alright." He never thought his clanmates would be out to get him, as it were. "I do realize I was the only one who saw them... " Moonheart said slowly. "But... that's no reason to jump to conclusions about your clanmate... We're all a family," he said the last part, kind of helplessly.
Owlpaw felt sorry for Moonheart. "If any cat tries to start rumors about you, Moonheart, I'll tell them off," the apprentice promised.
(Might go to bed for tonight. Have to shower for sure. ttyl)

Breezewisper races after her and looks down at his dead clanmates. "There they are." He mumbled walking over to them.

Amberfang took a step back. "Look. The blood is drying on their fur, like Moonheart said," she whispered. "Oh, this is so ghastly. What kind of cat would do this?" Amberfang ruffled her long fur and made sure to stay away from the pools of blood.
Moonheart didn't meet the medicine cat's eyes. "Thank you, Twistedpath," he mumbled to her. His pale gaze fell on his own, snowy white paws.

Owlpaw straightened up. "Yes, Twistedpath!" It was a nice change of pace to be told to confront a cat rather than lie low and help them, a thing Owlpaw often found himself doing as a medicine cat apprentice. He glanced over at Moonheart, and said, "I'm sure you'll be fine. I'll stay in the den in case any cat comes looking for you, and I'll talk to them first, alright?"
"Thank you." Moonheart sank into a mossy nest kept for sick patients. He closed his pale blue eyes and was soon drifting off to sleep.

"Oh.. right." Owlpaw said. He had forgotten about Twilightclan's uncanny dislike of white-furred cats. Any creature that was white really... he once heard about some warriors that found a dead white hare in the territory, and they had said it was a sign of bad luck. I don't believe anything about white fur being a bad sign, Owlpaw thought to himself. It's all old stories. Starclan can't make a cat a bad omen, can they?

"We'll just have to show them different, Twistedpath," Owlpaw said, a firmness in his voice that was resolution. "We'll show them that Moonheart's not a bad cat."
