Bloody Sunsets -- Part 1 -- A Semi-Elite Roleplay


ThunderClan, WindClan, RiverClan, and ShadowClan, the four Clans that ruled over and shared the forest they inhabited equally and peacefully, with the occasional skirmishes.
Until the rise of ShadowClan, the Clan grew and got stronger until they attacked the other Clans, killing off most and driving them off their newly claimed territory.
They joined together, the survivors of the end, from the three Clans of ThunderClan, WindClan, and RiverClan, and together they live and get by in the outskirts of their once peaceful home.
They need to be able to work together in order to survive and grow strong enough to fight and win against ShadowClan- This is where you come in. Will you help the cats of the Outskirts, trick and betray them, fight against them?

Personality: Before Shadowclan rised, Ratfur was just a usual deputy, watching over the clan, helping the leader, all the basics. Back then, he was more cheerful and friendly with the clan mates and especially the leader. He also seemed to be more relaxed and optimistic in his own mistakes. However, once ShadowClan was growing, he saw the opportunity at hand. He seemed to be more tense and hard on himself as well as everyone else, only needing to look at them for them to understand what he wanted. However, he seemed to try to keep his complete loyalty with the leader, not wanting to mess up the greatness that was in the grasp of their clan's paw. Due to the stress and tensity, Ratfur has progressively grown a little, erm, strange.
Side: ShadowClan

(Accepted, Sub! :D Accepted, Neon, but I reserved ShadowClan's deputy for Sub, so if you could change Timberleaf's rank? Sorry. ^^")

Name - Ravenfang
Gender - Female
Rank - Leader
Former Clan - ShadowClan
Mate/Kits - Neither yet
Family - Father was Nightclaw, Deputy of Shadowclan. Mother was Moonflare, a rouge. Both perished in the war of the clans.
Sentence Description - A fiercly powerful She-cat, that is more paranoid than a queen, with jet black course fur and piercing green eyes.
Personality - With eyes that light up the night and fur that makes ravens jealous, Ravenfang has had a lot to deal with since she was born to her Father and Mother. Born into Shadowclan right before the risings, She was only a kit when she learned how to hunt for herself, fight for herself, and lead like no other cat before her. As her father and mother were both head-strong and leaderly in their own ways, it was passed down to Ravenfang on both sides, which can make her a bit much to be around sometimes. She has never known a time where she hasn't been barking orders, or fighting claw and fang for her territory, which makes her lethal to be around when she is in a foul mood. Sadly, this is most of the time. Ravenfang has a slightly pessamistic view of the clans, thinking that she must fight each day for what she wants and deserves, or it will slip away. This makes her slightly masochistic when it comes to battles, because she becomes particularly vicious and will not leave a battle until she or the other opponant is dead. There are no draws or ties, Ravenfang fights to kill, and rightly-so.
Though it is rare, Ravenfang can be happy, when her day is going well, knowing that there is enough kill, or that she's just stolen from the exiled clans on the Shadowclan borders, this causes a slight pep in her step when she walks around the camp. She has only become close to one cat, which is her deputy, Ratfur, whom she almost trusts with her life... Well, she trusts him enough to go over battle plans with her and not royally mess everything up. Ravenfang tends to have trust issues with most cats, and double-thinks herself quite often when it comes to making desicions, not really the best tactic for a cat who is the leader, but Ratfur seems to keep most of the mild insecurities at bay unless they could acually happen. Did I also mention Ravenfang is severly paranoid that something is coming to get her or the clan? Well, she is. In a nutshell, Ravenfang has problems, but nothing a little sarcastic nature, and harsh tones can't fight off when the time comes.
Side - ShadowClan

Name - Iceheart
Gender - Female.
Rank - Queen
Former Clan - WindClan
Mate/Kits - Mate: Skypool, Died in the battle, Windclan
Family - Died before the battle.
Sentence Description - A dirty cream colored she-cat with a perfect brown circle covering her left and blind blue eye, while the other is a rich brown.
Personality - Iceheart started out as a nice and loving she-cat that wanted to have a family in the confines of Windclan and grow old with her mate, but when Shadowclan attacked, and threatened her and her unborn kit's life, she struck out in fury. Now frantic and slightly paranoid, Iceheart will do anything to ensure her and her kit's safety, even if that means killing her own family, so to speak. She isn't all scary and frantic though, and finds calm in just being out of harms way for the time being, until she is either called to fight, or called up to Starclan. Iceheart won't go willingly or without a fight either-way, and you better expect some serious injuries if you try and make her do anything she doesn't want to. Iceheart doesn't play games, and she won't hesitate to harm if she feels threatened.
Side - The Exiled

(Accepted, Bex! :D)

((I edited it. :) Can we start?))

(Awesome, Neon, thanks! ^^ And sure, I'll start!)

Sprawled out ungracefully on a stiff, mossy nest, was Falconshadow. Her sides moved with each silent breath, in, out, in, out. Falconshadow twitched slightly, before blinking a couple of times, and finally opening her amber eyes to the pale morning light that streamed through the makeshift dens. Falconshadow pulled herself into a sitting position, quickly grooming her fur, and not even bothering to look up when a car whizzed past, traveling along the street that bordered the edge of the forest, the forest which had been divided up equally. Until the rise of ShadowClan. Giving her fur a final, quick lick, Falconshadow stood up and stretched, before pricking her ears, finally fully awake and on full alert. You never knew when the ShadowClanners would decide to terrorize the next to defenseless ragtag group of ThunderClan, WindClan, and RiverClanners. ShadowClan knew exactly where the small group, consisting of herself and a few other warriors, spent their days and nights, and they knew exactly how to get under the former deputies fur. Falconshadow slunk out of the makeshift den and was vaguely aware of the rising sun, though it didn't hold the beauty it once did. Another sunrise meant another day that she had to survive, another day that held the possibility of attack, of disease, of some other death that she'd have to deal with, being the former ThunderClan deputy and all.

Nightlilly twitched in her sleep, and when she felt someone stir, she got up quickly, relaxing when she saw it was just falconshadow waking up. She sighed with relief and sat down herself, trying not to think about her brother in shadowclan. Even though she had gotten used to being with other cats, she was still wary and afraid that shadowclan would come and attack soon. "It's bright." She commented on the rising sun, glancing at the she-cat. "It makes me sad though, in a way. Me and my brother used to love watching the sun rise together." Her ears flattened and her eyes clouded.

Ratfur quickly arose to the sound of his leader Ravenfang hissing. Sure, her name should've been RavenSTAR, but for some reason she hadn't changed her name. He shuffled to his feet and hollered in each den for every warrior den until they were in a line in front of Ravenfang. The last ones were Hazelsky and Timberleaf. "Come on, you two, let's go," He said in a low but powerful voice, showing that he meant what he meant and he wanted what he meant NOW. He was already groggy enough in the morning, he didn't want to have to fight warriors and waste time. Once everyone was in line, he went to Ravenfang's side, waiting for her command in fear of being ripped into shreds for the most part, but also because he did not want to be defeated. Winning was a very important thing to him, and wanted Ravenfang to lead her clan to victory.

Birchpaw had been picking at the fresh-kill pile, wrinkling his nose in distaste. He looked up at once, at the sound of Ravenfang, his leader's, voice, she was demanding that Ratfur, the ShadowClan deputy, rally up the warriors to launch an ambush on the exiled cats, that used to belong to ThunderClan, WindClan, and RiverClan. He felt his fur prickle, and he jerked his chin up defiantly as he narrowed his eyes, "Why aren't the apprentices coming? I've never gotten to go on an ambush before!" Birchpaw padded forward, stopping just in front of Ravenfang and Ratfur. He knew what he was doing was risky, dangerous, even life-threatening, but he refused to be left behind yet again. He wasn't just an apprentice, he could fight, if his blasted leader'd give him the chance.

Falconshadow gave a short laugh, though it was devoid of humor. "Yeah, well, isn't that lovely?" Her voice was sickly sweet, full of heavily laden sarcasm. "Now, are we done with our little walk down memory lane? It's a sunrise, ooh, aah," Falconshadow narrowed her eyes at Nightlilly, before turning to go wake Iceheart, the only queen who didn't scatter when the huge war occurred. Falconshadow prodded Iceheart in the side with her paw, "Wakey-wakey!" Falconshadow gave another short, humorless laugh before narrowing her amber eyes.

(Short, fail. D:)

Hazelsky opened one of his eyes, and as he saw ratfur waking timberleaf up, hauled himself up and groaned, blinking his eyes in atempt to stay awake. He stretched and followed ratfur. "Ravenwing's so moody lately.." Hazelsky muttered to ratfur.

"Don't say that, she's our leader." Timberleaf hissed, overhearing what hazelsky had said. It had been no problem at all for him to wake up- He was a light sleeper and was used to being waken up so early in the mornings.

Nightlilly sighed and started grooming herself. She was used to falconshadow's attitude, and didn't mind much. She was hoping she could change the she-cat, maybe she what was wrong but she knew deep down there was no use; she couldn't change everyone in the world. She yawned a little and blinked her eyes, fighting the urge to fall asleep again.

Ravenfang's snarl could be heard across the camp as she took a swipe at Birchpaw and swept the apprentice off his paws. "Don't you dare back-talk me, kit. The apprentices aren't going because I said they aren't going, and you'd be smart to listen to you're leader before you become chopped up chow for the Exciles." She hissed, her hair raised dangerously while her fangs bared in the smaller apprentices face. Ravenfang turned on a paw and glared at the warriors and Ratfur, "Warriors!" She called out, her voice strong and serious, "Today, we raid and ambush the Exciles, take what you want, kill who you want. Today, we fest on our enemies sufferings! Today we dine." She finished, her lips curling over her fangs as she gave a yowl and leapt forward and through the brush, "Follow me breatheren! It's time to kill!" Ravenfang called, blood-lust and adrenaline clogging all her other senses.

Iceheart was having a very nice dream about being back in Windclan with her mate when she was suddenly prodded awake and leapt up, jarring herself and her kit. She hissed lowly and blinked werily at Falconshadow and shook her head, "Don't do that again, or I'll slit your throat." She warned half-heartedly, having a soft spot for the warrior. I mean, Iceheart had to have some friends, she was a part of the Exciles for a reason, and that reason was the fact she didn't want her kit growing up in some clan of cats that could very well decide to kill them on a whim. That wasn't how Iceheart was raised, and that wasn't going to be how her kit was going to be raised. She sniffed around, looking at the kill pile and then frowning, "Surprisingly, for once, I'm not hungry. This means somethings about to happen," Iceheart mewed jokingly, looking at Falconshadow.

Ratfur yowled at Ravenfang's side, his jaw so wide you could see he bones sticking out of his cheeks. Afterwards, he took the apprentice that Ravenfang swept at by the scruff and threw him back into the apprentice den. "You listen here, boy. If you are ever to disobey Ravenfang or my orders, you will not be an apprentice of Shadowclan. We will abandon you until you starve to death instead of giving you the worthiness of ending you quickly," He growled menacingly before returning to the rest of the clan. This was their moment, and he could feel the adrenaline pumping. Ratfur would make sure that his leader would not die by fighting nearby, blocking any fatal attacks that he had seen on other clan members. He could care less about them, as long as the authority was alive.

Timberleaf bolted after ravenfang, the wind whipping against his fur. At that moment, he was proud to be apart of shadowclan and hoped for their victory against the exiles, and to finally get rid of the troublesome group of former clan cats.

Hazelsky ran alongside timberleaf, but he was having different thoughts on the subject. True, he liked shadowclan and would much rather have power over others than live in fear like the exiles, but he couldn't help but to feel sorry for them a little bit, and especially for his sister.

"So, Iceheart," Nightlilly started, smiling gently at the queen. "When do you think your kits will be born?" Nightlilly had always wished for kits of her own, but her mate had died, and that was that. She promised that if any kits were born in the exiles she would treat them as if they were her own and help out the mother, helping protect the kits against battles.

Once Ratfur heard Birchpaw's little remark about Ravenfang, he twitched a bit. He didn't go back and attack the apprentice. He didn't go ballistic on him at that moment. He didn't even tell Ravenfang. He would wait until they won. Once that happened, they would celebrate by what some would call a sacrafice, others would call an example. Ratfur called it an example, an example of what happens when you disrespect the people in charge. Of course, until that happened, they would just have to fight. He would just hope that Ravenfang would not kill him before he had the chance to redeem himself.

Iceheart smiled softly at Nightlily, her eyes shining for half a second, "I'm not sure," She muttered softly, thinking back to how many moons it had been since she had realized she was with kits. "Soon most likely," She finally answered, before Falconshadow's words hit her like a claw, cutting right into her skin. She hissed and yowled, leaping towards the warrior. "Don't you dare even think to utter those words again against myself and my kit." Her eyes flamed, even though she technically couldnt' see out of one of them, "Don't, even think about it-" She was suddenly cut off as a yowl sounded through the forest and Iceheart scampered backwards, knowing what this meant, "SHADOWCLAN CATS!" The queen yowled, just as Ravenfang burst through the brush.

"WE'RE FEASTING WELL TONIGHT, CLAN!" Ravenfang yowled, leaping through the underbrush and into the Excile's camp. She didn't paused to take anything into consideration before leaping towards and smaller cat, beside and white one and a brown one, this one looked fairly familer, and kind of reminded her of one of the lower tom's in Shadowclan, but that didn't effect her as she lashed out with a claw and smirked, causually starting up a conversation while fighting, "So, how's life in excile treating you, darling?" Ravenfang asked, smirking, "I mean, you could always join Shadowclan, but I don't take prisoners, so you either die or join." She hissed shrugging, "I prefer death myself, it makes it more fun on my end." Ravenfang gave a malicious grin and stalked forward, ready to kill.

It was not directed torwards her, but even nightlilly winced at falconshadow's words. "Hey now, that's not realy called for is it-" She was cut off by a yowl, and with widened eyes glanced at iceheart.

Hazelsky saw his leader jump at his sister, and hearing her words, winced a little. He looked at her for a second, his eyes filled with pity before he jumped at the white she-cat next to her with claws unsheathed. "You could join us, If you'd like." He told the she-cat, blinking his blue eyes. "It would save you the pain.."

Nightlilly glared at the shadowclan leader, her claws unsheathed and her tail lashing. "I would Never join your clan." She hissed dangerously, challenging the leader even though she knew the harsh reality was that she couldn't win against someone who was more skilled and had many more lives than her.

Timberleaf glanced at birchpaw. "If your going to disobey orders, try not to let the leader see you, okay?" He flashed the apprentice a smile before jumping at falconshadow, claws unsheathed.

Falconshadow was briefly aware of the small, brown and white apprentice that burst through the bushes shortly after the rest of the bigger, more vicious-looking ShadowClan attackers. Her eyes widened slightly, he looked familiar, way to familiar. He almost looked like Falconshadow herself! She didn't have time to ponder this much longer, before Timberleaf, another one of the ShadowClan attackers, launched at her with extended claws. Falconshadow's eyes glinted as she felt the adrenalin pulse through her veins yet again, and she bounded to the side, dodging him, before whirling around and raking her claws down his exposed side. Her lips pulled back in a snarl as she sprang backwards before he could retaliate from her blow, muscles locked as she poised to attack again, heart thudding in her ears.

Birchpaw flashed a brief smile at Timberleaf, another attacker from his Clan. His eyes swept over the unfolding battle scene, Ravenfang was taunting Nightlilly, Timberleaf had just attacked the former ThunderClan deputy, Falconshadow, who'd reacted quickly and effectively. He nodded admiringly, she was agile and quick to react to an attack, good qualities, he could see that she was the former deputy for a reason, though much different than before. He glanced at Iceheart, one of the queen's that was a part of the ragtag group of exiled cats, and make a quick decision that he wouldn't attack her. It wasn't fair, she was a queen carrying a kit, and killing her off before the kit even got a chance to live made him shudder to himself. He whizzed past Ravenfang, flashing her another smile, before pouncing at Nightlilly from behind.

Timberleaf hissed in annoyance when the she-cat had clawed him, and his heart beat started to get faster as he indured the pain. He lashed his tail and locked eyes with the she-cat. "Nice Fighting Skills." He smirked. "Maybe you should see mine!" With that, he he nipped at her tail and slashed at her flank.

Nightlilly yelped in suprise and whirled around to the young apprentice, batting him away. Without realizing that she had just exposed herself to the leader, quickly turned around and slashed at the shadowclan leader.


Hazelsky glanced at nightlilly, his eyes saddened and his tail drooped. "It's not my problem." He hissed to himself, facing Iceheart again. He suddenly noticed that she was expecting kits, and mentally bit himself in the tail. She's Expecting Kits! What was I thinking on fighting her!??! He thought, sheathing his claws. "Look, If you joined shadowclan, We would take good care of your kits." He said gently, trying to pursuade her to join.

OOC:. So sorry guys. XD, I slept in and had to do a bunch of stuff today.

Iceheart hissed, her hackles raised as she glared outright at the tom before her, "Get out of my sight." She snapped, not even taking a moment to consiter joining Shadowclan. Lashing out with her paw, Iceheart slashed at the tom, her eyes serious as she used her blind-spot to her advange and darted out of the way, waiting for an on-coming attack. But as she looked, tensed and ready to attack again, the tom seemed to freeze, realizing what she was. Realizing that she was a queen. "I'm. Not. Joining. Your. Pathetic. Clan." Iceheart ground out, glaring fiercly at him, "So either fight me, or leave."

Ravenfang started to laugh as she darted forward, and towards the other cat. Nightlily. She lashed out, chuckles bubbling up through her mouth almost psychotically as mirth danced in her eyes. "Time to die, little Excile!" She cooed, Clawing at the other she-cat and then seeing Birchpaw. In that one moment, it threw her off her game, not even realizing that Nightlily's back was exposed and that if she wanted to, Ravenfang could kill her now. The leader yowled, extending her claws and hitting Birchpaw, trying to bat him off of the she-cat. Her kill. "THIS ONE'S MINE, KIT. GET OFF." Ravenfang hissed, her eyes narrowing down to deadly slits.

Hazelsky hesitated for a moment, trying to decide what to do. He then heard ravenfang scolding birchpaw, and realized it was a perfect excuse for running away from a fight. He bit into birchpaw's scruff and carried him out of the den, then dropping him. "What were you thinking coming here?!" He asked, a little relieved that he had gotten away from the queen.

Nightlilly, seeing that ravenfang's attention was on birchpaw, leaped away from the leader and beside of iceheart. "I think we should run. The leader's distracted, and if we get falconshadow too before she sees, I think we can make it." She whispered.
