A Spooky Special

[Yoko]

One moonless night among the Clans,
a mysterious fog stretched over the lands,
It twisted and turned between the trees, and over the burnt and bloody leaves,
But eerier still than the eerie fog,
is the sound over the lands called,
The cries of creatures dearly departed,
and now the eerie night has started.

One ghost per Clan, one mystery to solve, and terror determined for all involved.

Specklstar (standing on her den): Listen up! This endless moaning must cease at once! I am putting together a patrol to go and investigate the matter. I know you are all tired. The noise has kept you up for a few nights. But the sooner we investigate the sooner we can all rest in peace. Any volunteers for the patrol?

Eclipsepaw (yawning to her sisters): So they're finally going to see what all this is about? It's about bloody time.

[Ki]

Dusk-kit: *yawning as she curls up next to her mother* Why bother...it's probably just some deer dying of disease...

Bluethorn: I'll go, Specklestar! Anything to get a good night's sleep again!

Feathercloud: It sounds like the poor creature is in a good deal of pain...I'll go. Maybe it's an ill cat. Or horribly injured. I might be needed.

[hedgie]

Reedpaw:-yawn- Kept us up indeed! All I want is a good night's sleep! Count me in. Oh, and Flintpaw, too. I'm sure he's feeling up to it, so long as it warrants a good rest.

Flintpaw: -sniffle- _{Stupid cold....-sniffsniff-} Hmmm...Sounds like a plan to me. I'm up for the challenge. All for it, really. I'll try not to scare anything away.....-sneezes-

Specklestar raised a brow, then smirked. Were her clanmates really so bored that most would rather go and investigate than remain in Camp and wait for it to stop so they could sleep? Oh well, the exercise might very well do them good.

Specklestar (raising her voice): Very well then, Bluethorn, Feathercloud, Reedpaw, Flintpaw, Emberpaw and Eclipsepaw. Please go and discover the cause of this racket. Remember, you are investigating. Do not try and stop it yourself unless you are sure you can handle it. Bluethorn, you will lead.

Eclipsepaw (stretching): Well. This is an interesting group. I wonder who'll run screaming first. *smirks at Flintpaw*

Meanwhile, in RiverClan

Puddlepelt sits on the twoleg bridge looking out over the river. It's rather eerie tonight. She's never seen so much fog.

Puddlepelt (shivering): Burrr, is StarClan angry? Why have they sent such strange darkness?

The laughter of young cats shakes her from her wonder. Were those kits? Or were they apprentices? Either way, they should not be out this late!

Puddlepelt (crossly): Who's there?

The laughter continues. The gray and white she cat walks slowly into the fog to discover the source and what she sees sends her screaming back to camp.

Puddlepelt (bursting into camp full speed): WILLOWSTAR! WILLOWSTAR!

[/i] that, it's going to drive me CRAZY.

(turning one pitch black corner in the maze of tunnels, the she-cat encounters the source of the noises. she emerges from the tunnels and streaks over the moors, heedless of starclan's dominion over the night for the first time in moons)

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO![/color][/ul][/size]

[Yoko]

Eclipsepaw (snorting): I bet its two-leg noise. They've all got bees in their brains, so of course they're the only things capable of this. Other animals have sense to shut up if their hurt.

Lizardeye (Busy being sneaky out in the forest): *glares icily in the direction of the howling, but turns pointedly and heads back to camp*

RiverClan

Puddlepelt: Down by the River- Oh Great StarClan, its awful! They're laughing! And laughing! But they have no faces!

Shellclaw (yawning and exiting Warriors Den): Puddlepelt, when babbling and talk some sense. What's wrong? *glares as he notices Spottedfur next to his sister*

Puddlepelt (ignoring her brother's obvious disapproval): I don't know what they! But there were so many! And they-they- Oh StarClan- WHY?! *curls onto the ground and buries her face in her fur*

WindClan

Bristlepaw: *returning to his den from making Dirt* *hears sound* What in the name of...? *backs away towards camp *

[hedgie]

Flintpaw: If you're insinuating that I'm going to run away screaming, you're wrong. I can hold out just as long as the rest of you. I'm no kit.

Reedpaw: You're small enough to be one.

Flintpaw: And you have the intelligence of one at times. Let's just go.

RC:

Patchclaw; -yawns and slinks out of the den- I'm no Willowstar, but what's this about things without faces?

[Kitty]

*in SC*

Icepelt: Good luck!


*in RC*

Cindertail: *blinkblink* What's happened now? *heads towards Puddlepelt* What? No faces?! Are you serious?

Gingertail: Oooh! I wanna see!

Darkfoot: That's not a good idea, Gingertail. >> *protective*


*in WC*

Smallnose: What's happened to Finchstep this time? ._.

NO! Don't touch me I said DON'T you DARE- Don't touch me, please don't touch- -I'll never be clean again, it was them I know it was them and IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME YOU'RE ALL CRAZY, all crazy, everyone but me, even StarClan, especially StarClan...

(with that, she begins mumbling incoherently under her breath, and then retreats to the relative safety of the nursery, still quivering and glancing all around as if expecting death to burst out of the ground at any moment)[/ul]

[Yoko]

ShadowClan:

Eclipsepaw: *smirks, amused by the banter*

The patrol is well into the swamp now and she can hardly see bejind her nose with all the fog, but like her sister she scents nothing. A rather pitiful wail tears through the fog. Eclipsepaw snarls, pelt bristling.

RiverClan:

Puddlepelt: *hardly able to process what her Clanmates are saying* *jumps at Spottedfur's tone* Yes, by the river! *breaking up again* Right by the river! Apprentices- or were they kits? Faceless- no faces-faces gone.

Shellclaw: *snarling* Don't take that tone with my sister! You've gone and made it worse.

Pebblepaw: *shy and frightened* Does this mean we can't go to the river anymore...?

WindClan:
Bristlepaw: OOF!

Sandtail: Great StarClan! What's the matter with you?!

Creamkit: *squealing* Finchstep's gone crazy!

Violetkit: *hissing* She was crazy to begin with!

ThunderClan:

Ravenkit: *snoozing*

A cold paw prods him.

Ravenkit: *whispering, tired and irritated* Stonekit! Get back to your side of the nursery. >.<

Another prod.

Ravenkit: *opens eyes* I said- WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! *runs over to Stonekit and Ravenkit's nest*

RiverClan:

Gingertail: Aww, but Darkfoot! I wanna go look! D8

Darkfoot: No. v_v

Cindertail: D< Someone must go see what's down by the river. We must know if it is still safe to fish!


WindClan:

Mudpelt: D8 Bristlepaw! Are you alright? *rushes as fast as his bad joints will allow him to his grandson*

ThunderClan:

Stonekit: *roused from a nap by Ravenkit's words* *half asleep* I'm not...on...your side...*drifts off again* AHHH *wide awake from his screaming* RAVENKIT WHAT IS WRONG WITH Y- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH *clings to Ravenkit and Spottedkit in fear*

[Amber]

SC:

Honeypaw: Darn...woke up too late. Looks like Emberpaw and Eclipsepaw will have all the fun.

Nightpaw: WTF? Reedpaw got to go without me? I always miss out on adventures. *decides to sit on Dapplepaw* Much better.


WC:

Ripplepaw: *hopes certain kits are eaten alive* Maybe then Thistlefrost will train me.

Dawnkit: Investigation time! *runs to find what is going on*

Dewkit: *chases after Dawnkit reluctantly* Will she ever learn?


TC:

Frostwind: *sleeps*

Ashstar: Now this is something you don't witness everyday.


RC:

Amberkit: *eating some cat's tail*

Shadowkit: *hiding/scared half to death*

Hollykit: *cackling at all the morons who think they are tough*

[Yoko]

SC:

Eclipsepaw: *creeps forward cautiously and sees a silhouette in the fog* GOTCHA! *dashes forward after the slender cat.

RC:

Shellclaw: *places a tail over his sister's back* Don't worry Sis, big brother will check it out for you! *storms off towards the river without Patchclaw's orders.

[glow=Black,2,300]Skunkkit: *snort* He's gonna epically fail. Here Hollykit, we'd better go take care of it ourselves. You coming Shadowkit?[/glow]

TC:

Ghost: rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!

Ravenkit: *pees himself*

Rabbitheart: *charges in and tackles ghost but goes through it*

WC:

Bristlepaw: Ripplepaw? You okay?
