Evidence? -Lion-

[Tigercloud]

Roaringwaters padded towards the Thunderpath. His heart was pounding a bit faster than normal. He didn't know what he was going to find when he got to the Thunderpath, but hoped it was something to prove Brokentail guilty of the murder of the beloved Shadowclan Deputy. His amber eyes narrowed, scenting no Thunderclan cats on their side of the Thunderpath. "So, Brokentail will probably say it was on the middle of the Thunderpath? Funny... I wish he would've got ran over, too. Flee-bag lying tom cat." He growled under his breath, watching the monster pass every now and then. The large tom looked around him, wondering what exactly he was looking for here. There should be blood on the the Thunderpath if she was ran over, but what if she was dragged to the Thunderpath? He started looking around for a blood scent or red stained grass.

[.:-Aikoa-:.]

The black tortoiseshell tom sat staring down at the markings on the Thunderpath. He had followed some evidence of Stormcloud's blood all the way to the burnt Sycamore, where there seemed to be more blood than he would have expected. It was strange how the trail of blood lessened and thickened in the oddest places. Now, on the Thunderpath, he could see a dark stain only a few taillengths onto it. If Stormcloud ran onto the Thunderpath that far, she could have easily avoided a Monster. So, what really happened here? He thought, sniffing but flinching as another Monster rolled past, sending grit into his face. He hissed crossly and turned slightly to look along the path. He could see Roaringwaters, and pricked his ears. His grey-blue eyes flashed as he dug his claws into the gravely dirt beneath his paws. He wasn't sure if he should call out to the tom, so he just sat there and waited for him to notice him.

[Tigercloud]

Roaringwaters' tail twitched every time a monster went by. He frowned, scenting the stained red grass. He sighed, looking back up onto the Thunderpath. He padded over to the tom. "Intresting scene isn't it?" He asked, watching the younger tom for the moment. His amber eyes turned away, looking up onto the Thunderpath where Stormcloud had gotten ran over. "This was no accident, that is for sure." He meowed, looking back at the black tortishell.

[.:-Aikoa-:.]

Midnightpaw sighed softly, staring down at the markings.

"It would appear not. And I noticed something strange about the patterns of the blood, all the way from the camp to this spot..." He meowed, flicking his tail nervously. Could Brokentail really have set Stormcloud up? He turned to Tigercloud.

"If only Stormcloud's body was still in tact. That would give us a lot of information... as it is, Brokentail's hidden this crime well, even if he left a few strands loose." Midnightpaw mewed. And those are the strands we have to pull. He thought, gritting his teeth furiously,

[Tigercloud]

"Very..." Roaringwaters trailed off. "Okay, here's my theory: After the ceremony, Brokentail offers to go hunting or something with Stormcloud. He takes her to the burnt tree, attacks her, killing her. Then maybe he heard something so he started dragging her, so it got more messy with blood stains. It actually looked like a fight had been taken up, so he brings her here. Let's her get ran over and then gets her back to camp..." He rumbled gruffly, "The monster destroyed any evidence on the body, but the blood trails show different." He looked at the younger tom again. "It's going to be difficult and probably a bit dangerous around here for a long while, kid... A long while..." He sighed, looking around sadly. He knew something had happened, but what exactly?

[.:-Aikoa-:.]

Midnightpaw nodded.

"That'd be about my guess. And I know, danger is lurking all over this place..." He said, sighing softly.

OOC: Sorry it's so short.

[Tigercloud]

OOC: It's cool mine got short too >.<

Roaringwaters frowned. "Your going to be in danger more, too. Me and you, if Brokentail did do this, because we're snooping around in his murdering." He meowed, looking away from Midnightpaw.

[.:-Aikoa-:.]

Midnightpaw knew that, of course. He stared hard down at his paws. But how could they prove that Brokentail murdered Stormcloud, besides showing this evidence? But no cat would believe them. The only hope they had was in Brokentail slipping up somehow. But how...? I feel bad for poor Acaciapaw. Imagine having a murderer for a mentor. He thought grudgingly.

[Tigercloud]

Roaringwaters nudged the tom with a paw. "Let's get out of here... We can't prove anything. They're not going to believe us anyways... Let's just keep our eyes peeled for anything suspicious around camp and everything." He muttered. He took to his paws, flicking his tail for the apprentice to follow. "I'm surprised you even thought that there was something else going on than what, Brokentail said." He remarked, starting to walk back towards camp.

[.:-Aikoa-:.]

Midnightpaw nodded and followed the tom. He listened intently to what Roaringwaters said and sniffed.

"Well, I can use my eyes. There's something in Brokentail's that just seems... off. I don't trust him, and I don't see any reason not to trust you." He meowed, looking up at the Warrior then down at the path before him.

[Tigercloud]

Roaringwaters nodded. "Very true, but in a way Brokentail's insult could've been right. I do think things through more than some would. In this case, why would Brokentail drag Stormcloud's body back to camp after it got ran over by a monster? That would be to heavy if you had fought in the fight as well. It would've been sensible to come back to camp and tell the others. Then they would've left you to be treated by the Medicine Cat and then go get the body would they not?" He questioned. His eyes never left from in front of him as he padded onward. It didn't seem different to think things like that to him, but then again it probably might sound a bit insulting to some Clanmates.
