 IceStorm looked up at the sky. "There are some things in this world we dont understand." She looked down at her apprentice. "Yes, little one. The squirrel had something to do with a curse." IceStorm said. She looked back up at the sky. *i pray every morning like we did when we were kits. i thank starclan every morning and every night.* She thought to herself.

 H a w k p a w“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.”___________________________Hawkpaw blinked, his gaze shifting to the floor. It felt like a cold stone sat in his stomach, weighing him down with fear.
Was the squirrel a sign of warning? Or an innitiating mark for the curse?
He paused for a heartbeat, holding his breath as he wondering whether or not he should speak what was on his mind. Sighing, he spoke.
“The squirrel smelled...strange, as well. Does that mean that it's inedible? I mean...was it sick?”
Hawkpaw shuffled on his paws. Deep down, he didn't want to know the answer. But it was best to be safe. After all, if the squirrel was sick, wouldn't that mean that the other types of prey in the forest were as well?

 Moonkit
[Moonkit looked at Silverstar who was waiting patietly beside Thunderpaw's sleeping body.
Silverstar gave her the nod to leave, she had done her duty.
Moonkit nodded back before she left.
Even thought she was a kit, everyone thought her to already be an apprentice, considering her age.
So she most of the time she had freedom, or she'd just sneak away. Like right now.
She felt the sudden urge to run -- no, to fly.
She dashed away as fast as she could.
The wind swelling in her heart, everything she'd cared about had flown from her mind.
It didn't matter where she ran, as long as she had the sky above her head and the wind in her face.
She saw a butterfly, and intrigued she ran towards it.
Fluttering close yet dodging away at the last second.
It wanted to play.
Moonkit tagged along and once she thought it was close enough to grasp, she leaped high in the air.
Her paws narrowly missed it and she fell plummetting to the earth.]
"Nooo!" she yelled.
I thought that I could fly.. but the earth was the one playing with me. It pulled me to the ground when I least expected it.
How cruel.. she thought as she landed with a sickening thud on the ground.
((Gottta go bye guys! > w<))

IceStorm looked down at her apprentice. "Well, yes. It's better not to eat. It's been cursed by someone. the curse had taken over its body and so it had attacked thunderpaw." IceStorm said. *strange. all the madness animals seem to be going after cats with black pelts* She thought.

H a w k p a w“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.”___________________________ Hawkpaw flicked his ears in understanding. He sighed heavily, wondering how the Clan would cope with such a curse.
“Hey, right before my ceremony, me and Thunderpaw were going to go and hunt along the Windclan border. After that squirrel, I'd rather patrol than hunt...Isn't your brother out patrolling somewhere with Jadepaw? We can find him and then all patrol in a group.”
Hawkpaw suggested with a twitch of his whiskers.

IceStorm froze at the mention of her brothers name. "uh.. yeah ok then." IceStorm sighed, relieved almost. IceStorm looked up and closed her eyes, sniffing the air. Her jaws opened slightly taking in every scent around her. "SeaClan. He is at the SeaClan border."

H a w k p a w“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.”___________________________ Hawkpaw's taip-tip twitched with curiosity at the way Icestorm reacted to the mention of Firestorm. He began padding in the direction that he assumed was the Seaclan border.
“Let's go then. That way we can tell him about the curse.”

Moonkit
[She opened her eyes to a blinding white light.]
"Urrghh.." she moaned with pain that was quickly melting like fog on a sunny day.
[Dread gripped her heart, unwilling to release it.
The white light she'd seen, was starlight.
She trembled with fear as she thought..]
No, not now. NO! There's so much more I wanted to say.. Needed to say. she thought, scared.
More terrified than she'd ever been in her life.
[Out of the corner of her eye she spotted a blaze of stars dashing right for her.
It stopped less than a tail length away from her.]
"Hello Moonkit." it purred loudly.
"Mother.. Oh mother!" she mewed bursting into tears.
[Moonkit walked up to an identical white she-cat with the only difference being that her mother's eyes were pale yellow.]
"Mother.. am I dying?" she squeaked fearfully.
"Yes, my love. You are so very near Starclan that I can feel your spirit ebbing into the stars." her mother's mew was grave.
[Moonkit felt streams of tears rolling down her face.]
"No.." she mewed, her head drooping.
"You must wish to live!" her mother hissed at her.
"Where is your fight Moonkit? I've never raised such a weak kit!" her mother sniffed disdainfully.
"W-what? I don't understand.." she meowed, scared of her mother now.
"You shall only die if you willingly give up. Surrender then Moonkit. Join me, without even knowing what great things you could've achieved." she mewed, yellow fire blazing in her eye sockets.
"I - I will." Moonkit vowed.
"I'll fight. Til the last breath has left my body." she mewed shaking with pure energy.

Moonkit
[In reality it was true, Moonkit was dying.
Her body lay broken on the ground. Little breath was coming from her lips.
Her current state affected Moonkit's spirit as well.]
"I - I'm tired?" she rasped.
"No..! You're ebbing away faster than I thought. Quick, you must send someone to help you!" her mother hissed.
"B -but how?" she murmured her legs beginning to buckle.
"I can't help you any further. You! You must think of a person, envision them. Send them your message through your spirit. Now! You must do it now!" her mother spat, leaning beside her to hold her up.
[Moonkit concentrated hard on the faces of Hawpaw and Icestorm.
She envisioned them and also envisioned her broken body on the ground.]
Help... she thought.
[She saw Icestorm, confusion flickering in her eyes.
But that was it, Moonkit couldn't hold the connection any further.]
"That's it. That's all I can do.." Moonkit murmured laying down to rest.
"Let's hope it's enough." her mother whispered gravely laying down by her side.

H a w k p a w“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.”___________________________ Just as he was nearing the camp entrance, Hawkpaw's eyes caught the sight of a limp mound of silver fur. He made a sharp turn, his paws skidding beneath him, as he pelted up to the little creature. With sheer horror gripping his heart, Hawkpaw recognized the twisted body of Moonkit. For a heartbeat, he couldn't breathe or move, but just stare with dread at her.
“M-Moonkit? What happened...?” His voice but a shaky whisper, Hawkpaw pressed his muzzle into her scruff, attempting to wake the kit. It had no effect. He could barely detect the rise and fall of her flank, and it was becoming fainter and fainter. “Moonkit...No...No! Help! Somebody! Starpelt!! HELP!!”
Hawkpaw whipped around and yowled loud enough to scare all the prey in the forest in the direction of the camp. Blood began to roar in his ears as his mind reeled. He doubted anyone would hear him. There was no choice. He'd have to drag her back to camp.
His eyes glazing with tears, he bit into Moonkit's silver scruff and began pulling her broken body to the camp entrance. As he worked, frightening thoughts came to mind. How could this've happened? How many of his friends would he find like this? Was Starclan causing this?! Was this part of the curse?!
[[I don't know whether or not you wanted Hawkpaw to come (because I think you sent the message to Icestorm...), but...OMG don't die!! DX]]

Moonkit
[Moonkit was tiring and fast.
Her mother's soothing licks was all she feel right now.]
"Mother.. will Starclan truly welcome me?" she whispered.
"No. Because you aren't coming to Starclan." her mother mewed firmly.
"Goodbye my dearest, we won't meet again, not for a long time at least." her mother mewed, relief edging her voice.
"Goodbye.." she whispered faintly, closing her eyes on all those magnificent stars.
[Moonkit ooened her eyes and even those seemed to be sore!]
"Oh great Starclan my aching head -- no, my aching body!" she mewed pained as she attempted to sit up.
[Her eyes opened wide as she realized she was in the medicine den.
She stood up shakily and took a few wobbly, uncertain paw steps before her legs began to fail her.
Just as she was about to hit the ground, someone grabbed her scruff and pulled her upright.]
"Hawkpaw.." she murmured, smiling through the pain. ((Don't worry, you saved me! * w * ))

H a w k p a w“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.”___________________________ Hawkpaw released Moonkit as she seemed to regain consciousness. His ears still flat and eyes still wide, he didn't seem to believe that she was alright.
“Moonkit...Lie down. I'm no medicine cat, but I don't think you should sit up.” He hesitated, taking a minute to let his heart return to its normal pace. Sighing, he gave Moonkit's ears a few licks. “What happened to you? The way you lay on the ground when I found you, I...I almost thought that...you were...”
Hawkpaw's voice was still shaking terribly. He stared at the ground, jaws parted as if he were going to speak, though no sound escaped.
[[*Headdesk* I thought you were outside of the camp. x__x;;
Oh noes! D: Bye!!]]

IceStorm found Hawkpaw standing next to Moonkit, who was lying down. "Moonkit! Hawkpaw! are you alright?" She padded over to them. quickly she check over Moonkit for injuries. IceStorm padded into the medicine cats den and brought Poppy Seeds and ColtsFoot. "Here eat these." She told the kit. She chewed the leaves of the herb into a pulp. "There. Here. this should help you catch your breath." She said.
