Life had been strange in Ashclan. Cats were going missing, blood was being spilled and there was no suspect. It was like Ashclan was falling apart, no one was safe anymore. It was every cat for itself. Icepelt didnt feel safe anymore although in the secluded spot he was in it offered just a little comfort.

His emerald green gaze just scanned right to left. His paws shifted uneasily along the smooth soil and his tail curled around his body. The air was chilly and being near the water didnt help. It just made things colder. Icepelt's took a deep breath, he wasnt one to be alone and he didnt enjoy it. Larkwing was off somewhere unknown, as long as she was safe he was okay.

Things were just getting weirder, it would be only a matter of time before the next victum was killed.

Leapingtiger walked silent as a shadow through the forest toward the stream. Her ears pricked as she smelled another cat. She suddenly crouched low to the ground, like stalking a mouse. Her white pelt with black stripes and icy eyes didn't give much protection against camoflage. She stalked through the undergrowth getting nearer and near. The cat was alone, she didn't smell anyone else. As she got closer and closer, the bushes thinned and sthined and finnaly she stopped. The mist sprayed around her, so she couldn't tell who is was. She saw a flash of gren eyes, but only a fraction of the cat's face shown and so quickly she couldn't recagnise the cat. Only two strong bushes where in front of her, one to the left, and one to the right. some space was left where she could see the cat, and she knew very well she could leap above and through the two bushes. She wriggled her haunches, eyes intent on her target and sprange almost noislesly, making a small rattle sound. Her claws where unsheathed, sparkling in the mist. Her front paws hit Icypelt's two shoulders. She recagnised her now that she was closer. She let out a battle-cry like growl and tried to pin her to the ground by knocking her off her feet.

Icepelt couldn't help but feel like someone was watching him. His green gaze quickley turned to see the eerie bushes behind him. Something was up.....

He took a deep breath, he keapt thinking something was there. It was just his imagination acting up. He looked once more this time getting up on all four paws although as he did he felt a sharp pain on his back. Something was on him.

His eyes widened in fear. What if it was the murderer?!? He tried to spin around and face his attaacker but he was already pinned on the ground. It was odd...the smell..it was Ashclan? He stuggeled under the weight although he managed to turn to get a close on his opponent.

"Leapingtiger?" he questioned slightly confused and alarmed all at the same time.

[Fallingmoon]

Leapingtiger widened her eyes and cocked her head,
"Oh, it's just you, Icepelt. I'm sorry, I thought you where that killer." She stepped off Icepelt and sat down apoligetic. "I'm sorry I leaped on you." She laughed slightly at the apoligy. There was still the chance that the killer was still there. She licked her paw ran it down her face once or twice and licked her ruffled chest fur. HEr thoughts still buzzed about what had happened, "What is AshClan coming to? Are we just to defencless now we think our own clan-mates are the ones?"

Waterpaw wandered through the mist. She had been following her mentor, Leapingtiger, but she had lost her. Now, she was blindly trying to figure out just where the heck she was in this StarClan-forsaken mist. Then she heard her mentor's battle cry. Dark blue eyes widening, Waterpaw thought it might've been the killer. She raced towards the sound, and finally crashed almost right into Leapingtiger and her fellow Clanmate Icepelt. She skidded to a halt, panting. "What happened?!" She demanded.

[Fallingmoon]

Leapingtiger jumped as Waterpaws stormed in, demanding what was goign on.
"Oh nothing Waterpaw. I had jumped Icepelt thinking she was the killer and as soon as I realised she wasn't I had gotton off, then I was apoligizing and you showed up. now here we are." She smiled and laughed again slightly, at the momory of her stumbling off. "All is ok though." Leapigntiger regained her position, lying her fur flat and looking at Waterpaw to listen to her answer.

[CelestialStorywriter]

Relaxing but not daring to let her guard down, Waterpaw's white-and-blue-tabby fur flattened, and she regained her unreadable, emotionless composure. She hmm'd, to show that she had heard. "What are you doing?" She asked, as if she hadn't been terrified just a second before.

[[OOC: [/shortpost] ACK. Why can't I think of a good post?!]]

OOC: Icepelt is a guy xD

Icepelt gasped and just looked over Leapingtiger to make sure it was really her. He sighed in relief knowing he wasnt in any particular danger. He couldn't help but grin, he couldn't believe she did that. Thank Starclan it didnt' get too carried away.

"Don't worry I don't blame you for being overprotective. I would have been curious if I didnt know who you were" he meowed simply laughing slightly at the bizzare idea. Quick moving pawsteps made his pelt crawl once more. His emerald green eyes widened but softedned once he saw the slender figure of Waterpaw, a young apprentice. "Looks like your apprentice found us, greetings Waterpaw."

[Fallingmoon]

"I guess she did." Leapingtiger dipped her head to Waterpaw, "I had thought Icepelt was the killer so I had attacked her, but then when I knew it was just him I had gotton of to opoligize and then you came." She mewed licking her lips she hadn't eaten since the morning, and her belly started to growel. She could tell it was sunhigh, from the strong rain bow that had fromed in the mist. Her pelt was damp now with water, sleek and wet.

[CelestialStorywriter]

"Greetings, Icepelt." Waterpaw mewed respectfully. Then she saw the rainbow that had formed in the mist and let a rare geniune smile grace her features. She loved rainbows. They were one of the purest things in this StarClan-forsaken world. She stretched, feeling refreshed as the mist condensed on her fur.

Icepelt bowed his head at her greeting. He never knew what it was like to have an apprentice. He wanted to have that experiance but it would probably be a long time until the killer was found. Snowstar wouldn't just let random warriors mentor them, it would have to be her trusted warriors. Icepelt basically just came out of apprenticehood probably in her eyes.

"Well it's nice to meet you"

[Fallingmoon]

Leapingtiger turned her head to the bushes, which slightly moved but with no noise. They didn't move at all after she has turned to look at them, nor when she turned her head to face Icepelt and Waterpaw again. "Must be my imag-" But before she could finish that though the bushes moved again, like first time noislesly but still there. SHe twitched her ears and asked,
"So what are we doing here?" The bush moved again slightly, and she asked, "Does anyone see that or is it just me?"

[CelestialStorywriter]

Waterpaw's fur was standing on end again now. "No, Leapingtiger," She hissed quietly. "You're not." She unsheathed her claws, fully prepared to for a fight. She wouldn't be caught by surprise this time. Her tail-tip twitched, and her ears flattened. She bared her sharp white teeth slightly, while inwardly hoping it was just some stupid prey.

[{Icey}]

One thing after another, Icepelt squared himself towards the bush which seemed to be...moving. There was no scent so he had no idea what to expect, at least he wasnt alone. He looked at both of his side making sure he had support. Leapingtiger and Waterpaw both at his side.

His green eyes narrowed on the moonlit bush, the hairs on his back began to bristhle. He was somewhat calmer than both she-cats just in case he unsheathed his claws. "We don't know what it is yet" he merely whispered. [/blockquote
