 H a w k p a w“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.”___________________________Hawkpaw's eyes flickered from Thunderpaw to the crazed squirrel. At first he thought that it was just running past them, but a moment later he could see its demented eyes and frothing mouth. Bloodlust practically radiated off the little creature as it pelted towards Thunderpaw. Snarling, Hawkpaw tensed his muscles, waiting for the little abomination to dart past him. As it closed in, Hawkpaw raised his paw into the air, unsheathing his claws. The squirrel seemed to gain speed as it neared Thunderpaw, but Hawkpaw was too quick. With all his might, he swung his paw at the squirrel's head. At it made contact, he could feel and hear the crack of the squirrel's neck as it awkwardly twisted in the air from the force of the impact. It landed limply on the floor, blood welling up in a wide gash on its face and an empty eye socket where Hawkpaw's claws had torn into. The other eye looked as if it were still glaring at Thunderpaw, and its lips—foam still dripping from them—were still drawn back in a screeching snarl. The squirrel was dead. Hawkpaw panted, his legs shaking, lips still curled back in a snarl and eyes darting from one cat to the other wildly.
“What was with that squirrel?!”

Lightningpaw stretched and silently awakened. She had no idea how long she had been asleep.
(Hey guys sorry I haven't been on in a whiled what's going on?)

"Good job," I said. "You saved me..."
[I sniffed the squirrel at a safe distance. Its mouth rotted with something sinister.]
"It was...mad..." I murmured.
[Mad. The Madness...it was...
"The next curse..." a voice whispered in my ear. I flattened my ears. Mother...]
"The next curse..." I murmured, shuddering.
[Curses. Giant cats. It was all too much. My mind went blank, and, with a final sigh, I collapsed next to the rabid squirrel.]

H a w k p a w“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.”___________________________ Hawkpaw panted heavily, fear creeping into him like icy claws at the mention of another curse. He swallowed, utterly confused and scared for his clanmates.
“Mad? Mad at who—Thunderpaw!”
Before he could even finish, she collapsed again. The rush of blood from killing the squirrel still roaring in his ears, he pelted to Thunderpaw's side and licked her scruff roughly in an attempt to rouse her. It didn't work. She was out cold, again. By now, Hawkpaw feared that something was wrong with Thunderpaw. This was the second time today that she just fainted without warning. If it were Starclan contacting her, surely they'd do it in her dreams? But she mentioned earlier that this was "beyond Starclan". Hawkpaw felt a shudder ripple through him, from his nose to his tail-tip. If this squirrel was "mad", then what of the rest of the prey in the forest?! What of the prey of the other Clans?! Frowning with worry, fear, and anger, Hawkpaw pressed his nose into Thunderpaw's flank.
Oh Starclan, what are you doing to us?
[[I didn't know what to write. xD After all, this was the second time she fainted!
Yay! Rabid squirrels! XD That was fun...]]

 ((Ya know, I'm getting this feeling that Silverstar isn't doing much of leader duties... I'm starting to doubt her leadership. D: I don;t know why. Maybe I have to get her to connect with StarClan more often. It's just...it seems like she's not being a good leader. Man, I want her to be great, but I don;t think I'm doing it right... D': ))
[Silverstar took in the scene with solemn eyes. She stepped forward and pushed Hawkpaw away gruffly, but not harshly, with her tail.] "I'm no medicine cat, but she needs her space. She will wake up soon." [Silverstar backed up, surveying the situation. She immediately took control.] "Icestorm, take Hawkpaw and continue training or hunting. Leave myself and Thunderpaw, we will stay here. I am going to wait for her to wake up, hopefully then I may find out how this can become clearer." [Silverstar twitched her tail, signaling for them to go.]

 Moonkit
[Moonkit snarled angirly.]
"Can't any cat get a wink of sleep here?" she growled.
Huh? It wasn't like her to get angry over very trivial things. she thought worried that her anger might take control.
[Suddenly everthing hit her like a huge blow to the head. It was like losing Hawpaw all over again.
A vision flashed through her eyes. Squirrels.. Hawpaw?!.. Thunderpaw?... Blood?!]
[Terrified that she was about to lose one of her dearest clanmates she ran to medicine cats dens and hastily grabbed some herbs.]
Don't worry! she thought desperately, I'm coming!.
(( Ahh, a love triangle! > w<
Quite fun that'll be! ))

 (dont get me involved in your lil love triangle k?) IceStorm was surprised. She looked at the squirrel for a moment. *curses. mountain cats and curses, SharpTooth* IceStorm thought. She flicked her ears hearing SilverStar's words. "Right, come Hawkpaw. I'll explain about the squirrel." IceStorm said.

Lightningpaw silently padded over to see what everything was about. She then saw Thunderpaw on the ground. She figured she had fainted, but from what? She then backed up to giver her friend some space.

((Aw man, I have to go. I just hope I can work out this leader thing, I don;t know why I have this feeling. She seems like a normal warrior, not a leader... D,: Anyway~ Baii! <3))
[Silverstar paced anxiously as Hawkpaw and Icestorm darted off. She scented Moonkit.] "Moonkit! Please help me with Thunderpaw! This is the second time she has fainted! I am worried about her."

H a w k p a w“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.”___________________________ Hawkpaw's heart was still beating like the wings of a hummingbird. He followed Icestorm is mild enthusiasm, and tended to hesitate as they walked off. He threw one glance over his shoulder, catching a glimpse of Thunderpaw and Silverstar, and...and Moonkit. The pang of pain in his heart was back once again, though he tried his best to ignore it and focus on his new mentor.
“Right, the squirrel...Thunderpaw said that it was mad. What did she mean by that, Icestorm? Was it mad at her?”
[[Yay, a love triangle! Oh the dramatic love scenes! D'8]]

IceStorm padded onwards. "The squirrel..." IceStorm thought for a moment as they arrived at the hollow. Though IceStorm's feet wanted to run to find FireStorm and tell him everything. "The squirrel.. was not mad at her. Tell me something. Do you believe in curses?" She looked at her apprentice, her blue eyes turning to Ice in the faint sunlight.

"What happened?" she meowed bewildered. She wasn't asking anyone inparticular just any cat who would tell her.

Moonkit
[Moonkit averted her eyes away from Hawpaw and Icestorm.
She didn't want them to get in the way of her thoughts just right now.]
"Right Silverstar." she mewed firmly.
[Moonkit wasn't surprised that Silverstar had already known that she might've come.]
[Thunderpaw seemed to be alright. No drastic wounds.
Her breathing did seem to be a little ragged, it was probably an after effect of the battle with the squirrel.
Just to be sure Moonkit crushed some juniper berries in a pulp.
She mixed in a little thyme just so that when she woke up, she wouldn't be as panicked or distressed.]
"Open up her jaws please." Moonkit said as best as she could through her leaf package.
[As Silverstar opened up her jaws Moonkit put the pulp in her mouth.
Silverstar closed Thunderpaws jaws and Moonkit massaged her throat so she could get it all down.]
"She'll need some water when she wakes up, so could you go fetch that?" she asked looking down on Thunderpaw, whose breathing was starting to regulate.
((I know. I want Moonkit and Hawpaw to be togerther.
I might not work out though. T^T ))

H a w k p a w“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.”___________________________ Hawkpaw padded beside his mentor to the hollow, listening to her faint words as she seemed to focus on something distant. He froze as Icestorm questioned him. Blinking, he flattened his ears in thought before replying in a stern voice.
“I...Well...I believe in Starclan, therefore I believe in the Dark Forest...and curses. Did the way the squirrel acted have to do something with a curse—Thunderpaw did whisper something about a curse before she fainted!”
