So, in honor of all of your help. I am going to use some of your Oc's in this chapter. It might be a longer chapter, I'm not sure, it depends on how much I want to type. Anyways, enjoy!
The vigil had gone and went so quickly, it seemed more like a dream. The scrap of moss was buried and the Clan was swarming around in their normal fashion. The only cats that seemed to be most grief-stricken were obviously Silverstalk and Crabpaw. Crabpaw however was busy with his new mentor, Hazelspark, which seemed to help his mind off of his sister, Pebblekit, who had never made it to be an apprentice, and will never be a warrior either. Honeystar sighed as she watched the Clan swarm with life. She noticed that Goldenpaw was sitting by himself, watching the Clan life swirl. It affected him too, as she could see the guilt that he couldn't save Pebblekit either swirl inside him. She saw Moorrunner eating. She shook her pelt before launching off of the High Boulder. She walked towards Moorrunner, who looked up from his bass quickly as the leader approached, dipping his head in respect to Honeystar.
"Maybe you should take Goldenpaw out for some training. He is soon to be a warrior after all. He can't slack off on his training now." She meowed to Moorrunner.
He nodded slowly. "Of course. Guilt weighs on him too after the attack." He meowed. "But, maybe training is the right thing to do for him right now." He meowed as he stood up. He stretched his long limbs and walked over to his apprentice with a cheerful wave of his tail.
Honeystar nodded in satisfaction, but before she could completely go to another cat, she saw Silverstalk glaring at her. She saw the she-cat's claws unsheathe, but she didn't act any farther. Honeystar flattened her ears to her head as she turned away. Cedarglow limped to her side as she almost bumped into him.
"Look who's up and going!" Honeystar meowed with a smile. Cedarglow seemed to know how to make her troubles go away, he was her best friend after all. He laughed.
"Well, I'm not so lazy to stay in the medicine cat den all day." He meowed, but Honeystar's smile fell.
"You still need to be careful, I don't need my deputy getting hurt any further." She meowed. "Anyways, your leg looks pretty well wrenched. I doubt Rosedusk will be t-" Before she could finish Rosedusk stalked up, her tail lashing as she glared at Cedarglow.
"Just what do you think you are doing out of your nest? StarClan knows I have enough mousebrains to look after, I don't need to have the deputy prancing around and injuring his leg further." She hissed.
Cedarglow smiled sheepishly. "Come on. You know I'm not the kind of cat to wait around." He protested.
Rosedusk hissed. "A mouse-brained move if you want to heal. It will take twice as long if you don't rest." She grumbled with a quick cuff to his ears. It almost looked like a mother scolding her kit. Honeystar stifled a laugh. She didn't want to be on Rosedusk's bad side too.
Cedarglow finally gave in. His tail flicked with annoyance as he padded back to the medicine cat den, Rosedusk followed him, chewing him out the whole time. Honeystar finally let a small laugh out, but before she could think, she saw Silverstalk by her side.
"How can you laugh when my daughter is gone?" She hissed. "You're the reason she got killed. I would still have my little warrior if you weren't so mouse-brained! And then all of the sudden you act like everything is so wonderful again!" She lashed her tail as she glared at her leader.
Honeystar shrank back slightly. Her ears laid to her head. "I tried!" She meowed evenly tempered.
"You call yourself a leader when you can barely save a kit!" she continued hissing, ignoring any trace of apology in Honeystar's voice.
Honeystar felt her pelt bristle with anger, but guilt was hidden there too. She saw a pale gray she-cat make her way up to the scene. Willowfang. She could already see that the queen was upset about something, and after all she had two kits of her own to watch after. Only about three moons old however, Poppykit and Shiningkit were quite the pawful already. She glanced to the queen whose pelt was bristling.
"What do you think you are doing? Hissing at Honeystar? First of all, she is your leader. Second of all, she tried to save Pebblekit. You can't blame her for the death of your kit." She meowed as her gray tail lashed behind her.
Silverstalk looked at her, slightly shocked, but quickly regaining her angry composure. "Who do you think you are? Defending a cat that isn't even fit to lead! Let alone be anything else. She is no better than a rogue if she can't even save a kit!" Silverstalk spat at Honeystar and Willowfang both.
Honeystar felt herself shrink farther down. But before she responded, there was a paw that flashed out quick like lightning. It was Willowfang and she had cuffed Silverstalk firmly over the ears. Her face stern as she watched Silverstalk acting like a kit throwing a tantrum almost. Silverstalk looked shock before a look of anger crossed her face and she leapt at the she-cat in rage. Her claws slicing at Willowfang's pelt.
Willowfang let out a screech of pain, but then bit the attacker's ear. Her paws working to get the crazy she-cat off of her. She then kicked her off with a powerful blow from her hindlegs. She scrambled to her paws. Honeystar watched in shock as the fight moved quickly before her eyes.
Honeystar stepped in between the two she-cats who both were panting as their eyes narrowed to slits. Silverstalk wasn't finished quite yet and she leapt at Honeystar. Her razor sharp claws out as she hoped to catch flesh.
But Honeystar was quick and sidestepped, it wasn't as abrupt as was the attack on Willowfang, but was still swift. Silverstalk whirled around on her paws and launched forward again, her eyes raging with anger. She grabbed onto the she-cat's side and bit her spine. Honeystar screeched as she tried to get the she-cat off of her.
Most of the warriors were out of camp at the moment, on patrols, the cats that were here were watching in shock as Honeystar and Willowfang both got attacked by Silverstalk, who must have gone insane with grief as far as they could think.
Cedarglow had limped out of the medicine cat den and ran at the fight. His teeth sunk firmly into Silverstalk's scruff as he dragged her off of Honeystar and Willowfang who had thrown herself back into the fight. His eyes glanced to Honeystar with concern as he spat Silverstalk's neck fur out of his mouth. "Are you two okay?" he asked Willowfang and Honeystar, not really thinking that Silverspark could be that injured, as both she-cats would refrain from hurting a Clanmate. Honeystar was panting with effort as she looked at the wounds that had reopened from the pelican attack. She stood up shakily, which caused Cedarglow to press to her side to steady her. She glared at Silverstalk, trying to think of what she could do….
Soo! Drama! XD I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter, and tell me what you think Honeystar should do to Silverstalk. Was it just her grief, or does she really blame Honeystar for her kit's death? Tell me what you think! Hon
