OOC: Oh. Now I feel stupid...
BIC: Lilypaw watched her father betray her mother with a shocked and dismayed expression. As she padded forward to recieve her apprentice name, she felt her heart ache and her paws felt heavy and laden. She looked up as her mother told her she'd be mentored by Brokentail. She turned and watched the huge tabby pad up to her, grinning maliciously and making her feel uncomfortable.
"You'll work hard, won't you, Lilypaw?" He asked, smiling. Lilypaw looked up at him and blinked.
"Yeah. As hard as any apprentice ever did!" She replied at last, smiling at him widely. He smiled back and she thought she liked him a little. He seemed nice.
"That's good. I can tell you'll be a great warrior one day." The tom said.
OOC: I'm so devious. Bwahaha...

Acaciaskies eyes Lillypaw and Brokentail warily. she knew Brokentail was evil-he had been her, too. She padded up cautiously, nodding to her old mentor coolly. "come with me, Lillypaw. I want to show you something," Shhe said, not taking her eyes off the huge tabby tom with the kink in his tail.

Lilypaw blinked and turned to Acaciaskies.
"Ok." She meowed, smiling widely. She bounced after the she-cat, her tail twitching happily.

Acaciaskies led her far away from Brokentail. "Be careful with him. He has a dark force. He was my mentor, too. Don't let him talk you into anything." she wanted to give this apprentice tips on how to survive him, but Lillypaw would think she was crazy, so she shut her mouth quickly.

Lilypaw sniffed.
"He's nice. He says I'll be a great warrior someday! Maybe you just didn't see past him on the outside." She meowed tartly, padding past her and bounding back towards camp. She found Brokentail where she'd left him, and his cool eyes surveyed her as she bounced up to him.
"What was that all about?" he asked.
"Acaciaskies just wanted to tell me something. Are we goanna look at the territory?" She asked hopefully. Brokentail laughed.
"Yeah, that'll be a good place to start." He said, flicking her ear with his tail tip.
"Can Artistpaw and Chirppaw and Dogpaw come with us please?" She asked.
"Why don't we go alone? I can show you something else very interesting if we do." he meowed, smiling.
"Oo! That sounds fun!" She exclaimed, her eyes shining as she followed her mentor towards the camp entrance.
Shallowpaw sat with his tail curled around his forepaws. He watched Stonesearch with cold, calculating eyes.
"So what are we going to do first?" The tom asked. Stonesearch looked at him.
"Get settled into the apprentice's den." He instructed. Without even bothering to argue Shallowpaw nodded and padded over to the den. Stonesearch watched him for a moment, and then turned back to watching Articstar.

Fear. Pain. The thick stench of blood. He could hardly believe what was happening. It had happened so fast. She had launched herself at him with a brute force he had not expected from any cat. Especially a nursing Queen. He had gotten out of there with barely his life. He turned to see Icefire standing beside him, gathering her kits as he battled the cream-colored queen. Suddenly, a rustle at the den entrance told that another cat was there. Polarpaw, followed by Canyonfur, came and helped gather the kits. Polarpaw had come to help his father, and Canyonfur thought saving the kits was the right thing to do, along with keeping Polarpaw safe. Rootpaw followed his father and mentor quickly after. Someone was coming to see what was happening in the Nursery, and the cats knew they had to get out. Each cat took one kit and made a hasty retreat through the back wall of the Nursery. But soon into it, Coilsnake noticed that Icefire was lagging. Turning around, she yelled at him. She was telling him to go ahead and she'd catch up. She wanted to hold them back a minute longer. He was about to protest when she was tackled by a cat and sent sprawling. Blood pooled from a gash in her head as she smashed into a tree, and Coilsnake acted quickly. He raced at the attacker, but soon heard and scented many more coming. So grabbing another kit, he turned and fled. Leaving Icefire was the hardest thing he could ever do. But she was dead.
"Arcticstar!" Coilsnake cried as he emerged with the kits, plopping on the ground. "Help!"

The white leader stared solemnly at her 'mate'. She felt very swayed. she didn't want to help him, or those lousy kits, or anyone. But she padded after him anyway. "What with." she said hollowly, voice no longer melodic and sweet. It was now a dull and hazy tone. she didn't feel like herself anymore.

"They... they killed Icefire. And we don't have a Queen..." He said, gasping for breath. Polarpaw followed, with Canyonfur and Rootpaw on his heels. He looked at his mother defiantly and set his kits down.
"You can't blame him for loving this cat once. But he already said he loves you more, and he did the right thing saving those kits. But at what cost? Because you wouldn't help, the kits lost their mother anyway. Is that what you want for innocent kittens?" Polarpaw said in disbelief. "Besides, you were just out of the Nursery. You could nurse them if you had the heart to. You could be their mother." He said with a nod of satisfaction. Coilsnake sat up and sighed.
"Pretend their yours and that Icefire never existed?" He asked his mate, his real mate whom he cared for beyond belief, in hope that she just might accept.

Mistrose watched the proceedings with hesitant eyes. What if she refuses? Poor kits... She shyly padded up to Polarpaw and nudged him gently.
"I'll help you carry them to the nursery, if you want." She meowed gently, looking down at the kits with caring eyes. Her motherly instincts hadn't died out with her kit's apprenticeships. She wanted to help these kits. She looked up at Articstar, wondering if she really would deny helping them.

Well. That was a weird question. Arcticstar didn't know how to answer.
"It's great your willing to forget, Coilsnake. That takes guts. Just so you know, their not allowed to call me mom." She sighed and licked the first kits head. "What are their names?" she asked, the life in her eyes returning. she had another burning question. "If Icefire didn't die, what would you do? Never Come back?" she asked, her voice quiet.

Mistrose eyed her leader and then sighed and began grooming one of the kits.
"Poor little furball..." She murmured, examining it for any scrapes or cuts. She was glad Articstar had decided to help them.

"I never met them." Coilsnake said with a sigh. "And I honestly didn't think of what I would have done. Probably come back to persuade you. I can't live without you, and now I can live with you, but without guilt." He said sadly, not wanting to look at her gaze.
"And we aren't mates anymore, are we?" He more stated than asked Arcticstar, knowing it was probably for the best. Because all he would bring was anger, and all she would bring was sorrow. They were not a good match.
Polarpaw nodded with a smile.
"That would be great." He said with a smile, thinking of possible names. He looked at Coilsnake but said nothing. Then he padded off with his cream-colored kit and set her down in the Nursery.

Arcticstar licked Coilsnake's ear. "Of course we're mates. I'm not myself without you. I'll die without you." she glanced at the kits, eyes shining. "I want to name one Kodiakkit," she said happily, already feeling motherly. Maybe she would let the kits call her mom...

"They already have names..." He said, looking from side to side. "I never met them, but can we talk about this in private? I don't want the whole Clan to know about my... disloyalty. Maybe you can hear the whole story." Coilsnake meowed uncomfortably, standing and stretching. He turned and quickly left the camp for a spot deep in the marsh. He sat down, waiting for Arcticstar to catch up.
