Badgerstripe lost a little feeling. "Spottedleaf and Foxleaf are dead?!" He asked in disbelief. But then he had another reason to be defensive. "Why do you think a WindClanner did it, huh? Do you randomly point paws at the nearest Clan?"

OOC: Oh. I didn't see at all where this was going 0.0
BIC: Adderstrike stiffened. He was outraged, but Jetpaw was the first one to voice his rage.
"What!? That's ridiculous! No WindClan cat would ever murder in cold blood! Especially not a Medicine cat!" Jetpaw growled.

"Our smartest cat of the Clan believes otherwise. The proof is easy to see. Obvious small build, and a quick cat. Who smaller and quicker than WindClan, hmmm? Just take me to your leader." He hissed, on his last straw. He might just run them all down if they kept waiting, because his suspicions that one of them did it were growing. Maybe all of them. And that was why they defended themselves so well. Because they did it. Now he really needed to talk to Boulderstar.

"Check your source, Firestar. This could be a SilenceClan attack. some of our warriors have joined that Clan." Badgerstripe said. "Go home and think about all the possible SilenceClan cats that could've been on your territory. There have probably been many of them, right under your nose. Have any of your own ThunderClan cats joined that clan, hmm?" Badgerstripe stared at Adderstrike for a moment as he sent his apprentice for the leader, but didn't argue. He didn't want to be snobbish.

Adderstrike turned to Jetpaw, ignoring Badgerstripe. He saw that he couldn't disuade Firestar so he figured it would be best to have Boulderstar brought to them instead of the other way around.
"Fetch him." Jetpaw nodded and pelted over the hills towards the camp. He eyed Firestar and frowned slightly.
"It would seem WindClan scent was found over your border...?' He asked, arching the whiskers above his eye slightly.

"I will see Boulderstar, and he'll be surely disappointed that such urgent news was not delivered but yet refused by his own deputy." Firestar demanded once more with a hiss of anger. No cat should go refusing a word from leader to leader. It wasn't a good idea, if a whole Clan came after you in anger.

Boulderstar ran easily alongside Jetpaw. The apprentice was less quick than most WindClan cats, showing he wasn't of pure WindClan blood. He stumbled a few times but Boulderstar never broke stride - yet he still managed to help jetpaw keep up. He saw Firestar confronting Badgerstripe while Adderstrike and Hawkflight looked on.
"Firestar. I understand that a serious event has taken place. I am very sorry about your Medicine cats. Whatever cat has done this must be brought to justice. Now please tell me all that you found." The tom asked, staring intently at the ThunderClan leader. He wasn't going to freak out about Firestar accusing his Clan. The leader had to have good reasons to suspect a WindClanner, so he waited.

Firestar nodded, glad that at least one cat had some sense.
"Private, please." He said, stepping away from the patrol. "You didn't choose the best deputy, harassing a leader who wanted to speak with you. Talk to him please." Firestar said as he settled himself down.
"But more importance, you may already know of the deaths?"

Boulderstar nodded to the patrol and then followed Firestar. He sat down and listened intently. So Badgerstripe's temper is getting the best of him...? The leader sighed inwardly.
"Yes. Jetpaw told me all that he knew. You found Spottedleaf and Foxleaf dead and you are positive it was done by a small cat, probably WindClan. Please tell me about the state. I may be able to help you find the killer." He didn't suspect any of his Clanmates but he knew there was a possibility they had done such a horrible thing without his permission.

"Small cat, quick, cuts throats fast and accurate. Clean too. And trails lead to and from WindClan at the scene." Firestar added the detail he had noticed on his way to see Boulderstar. He hoped the leader would find reason in his words.

"Hmm..." Boulderstar frowned.
"And you're sure the scent was WindClan?" He asked, looking up at the ThunderClan leader. He was saddened at the thought that one of his warriors would dare to kill two medicine cats. What sort of honor was that, ruling a Clan of murderers? He hoped that no one in WindClan had truly done such a thing.

"No traceable scents. The cat was fast and clever enough to disguise him or her self." Firestar said with a nod of certainty. It was a clever cat, one who knew how to avoid being caught. It was a skilled professional. A skilled WindClanner.

Boulderstar frowned and thought about all the cats who had come in and out of camp that day.
"They seem smart enough to not come into camp with any trace of ThunderClan scent or blood. I haven't observed anything strange... except..." he frowned slightly and looked down at his paws.
"One of the patrols caught a ThunderClanner somewhere in the middle of the territory. A tabby with some strange spots. I didn't recognize him, but he smelt very much like he'd been up to something." The tom said thoughtfully. He wondered if that had anything to do with the medicine cat's murders.
"Oh, and as my patrol told me when they chased him he ran away from ThunderClan territory... not towards it." The tom added.

Firestar, as much as he didn't want to believe it, knew it was true.
"Tangleroot's scent was there. And he is gone. Sorry for all the trouble." Firestar bowed his head, standing and padding away quickly. Well, all seemed okay now. It was all sorted out. Firestar was the one ruling liars and murderes. Not innocent Boulderstar.

Boulderstar blinked and looked after the leader. Poor guy.
"We'll keep a look out for him!" He called after Firestar. He turned to the patrol and nodded.
"Continue patroling the border." He meowed. He felt a wave of sickness pass over him. A murderer was on the loose. A cat who had killed his own Clan's medicine cat... Tangleroot.

Badgerstripe nodded, ashamed of his outbursts earlier. He had hear everything, though. Tangleroot? He thought, wondering why the tom would murder cats from his own birth clan.

OOC: That's a good question ^.^
BIC: Jetpaw stared up at Boulderstar with wide eyes. A ThunderClan murderer...? The thought made him tremble a little. His leader passed him and as he did so he touched the appretnice's shoulder with his tail tip.
"It's Ok, Jetpaw. You're protected here." He meowed gravely. Jetpaw nodded wordlessly and watched his leader leave. He sighed and turned back to the patrol.

Goldenheart nodded with a smile.
"The starry warriors told me I was to train her. Just glad to see she's eager." She said with a purr, grinning. Her golden pelt sparkled unusually in the sunlight, but she quickly dodged into a shady patch and grinned uneasily.

If anything had been off about Goldenheart, Ashfire was too preoccupied to notice. She stopped at the dip into the ravine and turned.
"This is ThunderClan's camp. I'll show you to the Medicine cat's den." She meowed with a sigh. She hoped Firestar wasn't getting himself into trouble.

Goldenheart nodded, smiling. She followed Ashfire obediently and watched the cats who looked up at her.
