Medicine Cat Meeting 7/18

[Deleted]

His brow raised a bit. "Are they, Rainwing? Only part of me is dead. What remains of me is very much alive in RiverClan." But all in all, Froststorm's boredom had yet to grow any less. This useless taunting was straining the power he'd set to keep his presence there. Already he could feel that draining away back into the dark emptiness he'd come from. The tabby was loosing feeling in his tail.

He glanced around, focusing his attention on each cat but for a heartbeat. "I know how you're all enjoying our little chat, but I can't linger around here forever."

[/b] Yes, now he was sure his tail was gone. The numbness was spreading to his hind legs now. "But don't think for an instant that I'm no longer a threat. I have ways of proving you wrong..." The rest of Froststorm's body became overtaken by the cold loss of feeling. His entire flank disappeared, then his forepaws, chest, and finally his face until he was gone agin.

Twitchpaw stared where Froststorm once stood, her ears against her head before looking at the ground. I messed up..... She looked to her mentor, "Am I going to be in troubling for speaking? I... I didn't think I should have but... I did...." She looked back to the ground, feeling sad that she didn't think before opening her mouth. Maybe... I could talk to Icepaw..... maybe I could see if we could stop that cat from killing Riddlehawk... not to mention that he had the apprentice under his control through fear.....

[Deleted]

Rainwing forced his fur to lie flat when the cat was gone, letting out a sigh. "Leasts he's gone for now..." He murmured, before looking to his apprentice. "No Twitchpaw, you're not. I don't blame you for speaking out against him."

[Deleted]

Dappledfrost shook out her fur after the tom's spirit had left, and laid her tail across Rainwing's shoulders. "Moonhigh is nearly passed. You cannot stay here for much longer." She glanced down to his apprentice with a gleam of pity in her eyes. "There is much darkness in the forest right now. Some harder to see than others. You have to be brave, though, and figure these things out for the safety of your Clan."

[Deleted]

Twitchpaw nodded, looking up at DappledFrost, then her mentor, "Well.... is Icepaw really alone against him? Can't you stop that cat from hurting him?" She didn't knowing he was alone in the battle and wanted to help if she could, even if she got in trouble because she wasn't the medicine cat from the same clan. She..... she didn't want him to suffer or become like her brother, assuming he wasn't already. She wished she knew the cause for her brother but he wasn't her reason for worrying since he was in camp save, not knowing the horror waiting for her.

((hes gots to get his name))

Clawpaw blink as words were thrown back and forth between cats and soon an idea had come to him. He had heard about how Icepaw had come to Riverclan and how a she-cat had adopted him shortly after. "Wait what about the she-cat that adopted icepaw..um Moonlight I am sure she could stop him if we talked to her about it" mewed Clawpaw.

((OOC: Moonspirit will have to do that after they wake up, Moony.))

BIC: Dappledfrost closed her eyes and waved her tail to end the conversation. "It may not be that easy. But even if it would, for now it might be best for each of you to focus on your own Clans. There are other matters of concern besides the path Icepaw travels." Her voice sounded tired. There were many things on her mind. They were starting to wear her down.

When she opened her eyes, the medicine cat glanced around, and then dipped her head to the living cats around her. "Remember what you have seen and heard tonight. Now you must return to your Clans and use these things to guide them through these next few moons." The siamese blinked kindly to them all, and then willed them to return to the Moonstone as she herself disappeared.

Clawpaw soon awoke by moonstone, he blinked a few times to help his vision come back. He looked around and sat up as he waited for the others to return. (sorry for it being short)

[Deleted]

MiracleFur just sat there still. She didn't know what to say, nor did she want to say what was really on her mind. That would just irk FrostStorm off even more--not like she didn't want that--, but that didn't mean she should. She knew that this tom could not harm either one of them, but that doesn't mean that he couldn't scare the mousebrains out of any cat here.

With him saying that he could get IcePaw to do things out of fear, she just snorted. She could easily make IcePaw just hate this tom's guts, not fear him. Ah, the little apprentice may be fearing him now, but she could most likely make him stop that. She might be able to bribe NeedleHeart into helping as well.

She sat there, while some of the other cats woke. She didn't. She believed that if she could force herself into something, as in, "mind over matter", she could do it, most of the time.

"DappledFrost, I would like you to help me through some things, if possible," she spoke kindly, letting her head swerve around towards DappledFrost with a soft look, "With IcePaw and FrostStorm, for starters... I sense something bad might happen..."

She looked down at her paws for a few moments, before raising it once more to look over at the old Medicine cat, who was now a starclan cat.

"Or just some other things, that shouldn't matter. I need help with things... like NeedleHeart," her ears flicked, "I need to get her on my side. I know you can't help me with that, but I believe that you may... still speak to me in my dreams to calm down my nerves."

She felt rather ashamed for asking all of this, for it was embarrassing. She felt even worse when she realized that she had no cat that she was really familiar with come to her. Like her mother, yet, that didn't really matter at all.

She sighed softly.

--

MoonShadow noticed that MiracleFur was speaking, letting DappledFrost and her have some alone time. To talk.

She got up, and padded off, most likely to be with SparklePaw, as usual.

Dappledfrost had blinked in surprise as the other cats faded away while Miraclefur still remained in StarClan's territory. But as she listened to what the RiverClan medicine had to say, she nodded in pitying understanding. Things still weren't going all that well for the poor she-cat. RiverClan had its problems, but with Icepaw's situation and Needleheart still lurking half-in half-out of the shadows at that point, she must have been struggling.

"Then Froststorm has accomplished some of what he set out to do," she sighed, curling her tail around her paws. "There was always bound to be some trouble as soon as Icepaw was born. It seems like his older self is bidding his time, waiting until Icepaw is old enough to do the worst damage he can inflict. You'll have to be wary for when that day rolls around. But, what exactly are you feeling?

"As for Needleheart, she doesn't seem to be the biggest issue in the forest." The medicine cat gave her chest fur a few quick licks. It was straining having to talk about all these different problems that the Clan cats had to mind. It was almost depressing after a while. "But if you can coax her into being a trusted ally again, not just for RiverClan but for yourself against Froststorm's lingering presence, you would gain some solid ground."

At the last bit, Dappledfrost smiled a little. Having so many responsibilities weighed down even the best cats. "And of course, StarClan will always walk your pawsteps. I can visit your dreams occasionally, if it would help at all, but as a Clan medicine cat you have to be able to stand on your own four paws. You must understand that."

[Deleted]

Twitchpaw woke up, shivering from the cold from the stone, looking around, her vision somewhat blurry, shaking her head before looking at her mentor, her stomach growling loudly, Twitchpaw's ears dropping before looking at the other cats. Well... that... that was interesting..... I guess it was very different from what I thought was going to happen... and I didn't get to see my mom.... oh well....... She sighing, sinking back to the floor, thinking about what she heard about Icepaw, making her worry for the apprentice. I want to help him.... but.... but if that cat is really using him that way, I am not sure I could get close enough to help.... I will try though, She thought determined.

[Deleted]

Rainwing woke soon after her, shaking his head as the feeling of Starclan died away. So much to think about....more questions then answers this time. He frowned, thinking of what Froststorm had threatened and Dappledfrost's prophecy. He needed to speak to Tanglestar and Riddlehawk.....and keep his eyes open for this cat spoke of in the prophecy.

[Deleted]

Twitchpaw looked at her mentor, wondering what they would do next before sighing, "Well, are we going to wait for the others or start off on our trip back?" She was hungry and really hoped that they could hunt on the way back since she was starting to feel off from that lack of food. She looked at the others, wondering i it was always like this at the meetings.

[Deleted]

"We can head back, don't need to be present for Clawpaw to get his full name. And I need to speak for Tanglestar right away...." The medicine cat murmured quietly in response, getting up and stretching. He shook his fur then started for the exit.

[Deleted]

MiracleFur nodded a bit, her tail swishing back and forth behind her form. She didn't know how to react at the moment. She knew that DappledFrost would always be with her, and travel in her dreams, but that didn't mean anything.

She sighed softly.

"FrostStorm can't really do anything to IcePaw, and I will make him see that," her paws started to knead the ground, letting her claws slowly grip the 'grass', "As for NeedleHeart, she is mentally falling apart. I see that. I may be able to get her to help, if I can persuade her..."

She sighed softly, and opened her mouth to speak once more.

"DappledFrost, Thank you, for everything. You have done a lo..." she spoke, until she got cut off by herself waking in reality.

She jolted up, and looked around. MiracleFur got on her paws, and before Rainwing could make it to the exit, she sprinted over towards him.

"RainWing, you may not like what I have to ask..." she started, her eyes staring at him, with her fur rather puffed up.
