//Dear Missing Me,/\I'll Come Back, I Promise\\

[Lupin]

[Weatherspiral is my little angel, so for my "homecoming" post I wanted to do something to do with her, and this will be cats basically be about her clanmates deciding what's become of her, and accepting that she may not come back! *groups hug!* SO GLAD TO BE BACK!]

..Worldcall
The Earth Cries Out

Worldcall shook, this wouldn't do. Another dream, that she supposed was Starclan brought, clouded her senses. One of her close, yet missing, friend Weatherspiral. The creative she-cat who had so mysteriously vanished from clan grounds moons ago, any scent of her, even in dens, had long faded of been washed away. Here she was, Worldcall, medicine cat of Thunderclan, with an expression on her face that could express anything except for peace and happiness. Days had all passed in a blur, floods and leaf-bare coming on. She paced camp. To anxious to watch out for herself in the forest. Bluesky was gone, Weatherspiral all but washed off the face of the Earth. And she felt like no one remembered the great, if not gentle, she-cat that once stalked this very forest grounds, her paws making marks on the already worn ground, she looked up as she felt a pair of eyes brush her pelt and the presence of another. Maybe they need some medical help, she buckled down from her airy thinking, prepared to deal with injuries of the worst type.

[OOC< Sorry I bragged about Weatherspiral so much! >.< But the two she-cat were like sisters, so this was really a big thing for Worldcall.]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This tom needed help. But not in the kind Worldcall could give. Dragonfire padded up to her, his eyes faded and sad. Each day Weathersprial had been gone his condition had diteriated. He missed her more then he should and he knew it. A true, powerful warrior would have gotten over the she-cat by now. But he had not. The deputy couldn't get her out of his head and lately it had gotten worse. He was aging and needed to find a mate if he wanted his blood to be carried on through the years. The only she-cat who had ever caught his eye was Weatherspiral and with her gone he felt...alone. Perhaps Worldcall could comfort him in some way. "Hello Worldcall," he meowed in a quite broken tone. "May I ask what your up to?" he asked trying to put some form of enthusiasm into his voice.

OOC: Sorry Bells...I somehow deleted the original post...I have no idea how though...

[sunni bells]

OOC: I don't understand what's going on... huh? How'd you reply to my rp that way? But thanks for replying ^^ If we carry on about Weatherspiral this rp is going to go dead... So I think she can be an undertone, but they also need to do something else....

Worldcall, nearly drowned in her own moping didn't even notice his deflated tone. "Nothing much, just another day..." GONE GONE GONE. Her heart pounded, as if her brain were trying to force it's way out. "Just thinking..." Blue eyes wandered, not meeting his face. "Can I help you with something?" she asked, her eyes snapped back into focus. "Cracked pads, thorns? Brambles? Anything?" To her it seemed that the deputy had the camp running smoothly, almost all cats were out hunting, training or patrolling. There were only a few left that stayed in case there was a surprise attack, like usual. Weak sun bleated through the golden leaves, it's buttery light dwindling each day and fluffy gray clouds loomed closer, the sign of a rough leaf-bare.

[Lupin]

OOC: I somehow accidently duplicated it onto the RiverClan board. I deleted it and found that it was gone of the ThunderClan one to...I could go back and copy, but not keep it from deleting...so I put your post above mine...Sorry...

Dragonfire could see the she-cat was mourning something. He smiled weakly, hoping to cheer her up. Before the disapeance of Weatherspiral he was known as one the kindest ThunderClan cats. At least to members of ThunderClan. "No, nothings wrong with me," he meowed quitely. "Just wondering what I should be up to," he was quiet for a moment, "Why don't we both go out of camp? I could help you gather a few herbs if you want," he meowed, orange fur reflecting in the weak sunlight.

[sunni bells]

OOC: Oh... Okay... >.< It's fine, I was just curious!

Worldcall nodded sadly, Her orbs lingered on his smile, so sweet... So long ago were the sweet memories... She felt herself drifting again. Her eyes sharpened as her gaze returned to meet his eyes. She let her tongue snap down and make a clicking sound. She could see his mind was channeled with her own... Weatherspiral. "That's good to hear..." she sighed. "Maybe a trip out of camp would be good for me, sure." Even though her herbs were more than full for leafbare. Her pelt had already started to thicken up and brace itself against the harsh winter winds. She paced the uneven grounds. "Well we should go before all your patrols come back." Worldcall had nothing against the deputy, in fact she was generally proud of how well he dealt with the clan, she could see him as a leader one day, but as an unwritten rule she hadn't really spoke to him besides being around Weatherspiral...

[Lupin]

"Even if they do get back, I'm sure Goldenstar could deal with them. After all, it's him they should be listening to and be truely loyal towards, not me," Dragonfire was always a very modest cat. The only true bad quality about the tom was his imense hatred for anyone outside ThunderClan, even if it was not deserved. He took a few short steps toward the exit of the camp. The forest was calling him to it's depths and he longed to rush forward with the speed of a WindClan cat and leap through the undergrowth. But he had to wait for Weatherspiral. "Coming?" he meowed politley, continuing his short and akward steps toward the tunnel.

[sunni bells]

"What?" Worldcall looked throughly confused then shook her head and let out a rough laugh. "Oh yes, of course." her light graceful steps were full of mirth as she darted after him, springy and light-hearted, though her mind was elsewhere. "Of course he can take care of them... But their probably use to you handling them... because..." she trailed off, the harshest thing she could say right now was anything having to do with Weatherspiral, and what she had been about to say mentioned her. She could tell it was not easy for her or Dragonfire to give up when the rest of the clan seemed to have moved on unfazed. "She'll come back, I know." she blurted suddenly. Her eyes widened, disgusted with herself she wanted to slap her tail over her mouth. She stopped, frozen, mastering when two-legs might call the 'dear-in-the-headlights' position. Shocked. She couldn't even say she was sorry...

[Lupin]

Dragonfire's eyes only faded slightly at the slight mention of Weatherspiral. "It's ok," he meowed kindly. "I've gotten over that problem, you can speak about her if you want to," the orange tom did his best to stay clear of Weatherspiral's name. Although he told others he was fine, he was anything but. "Your right, she'll come back," he murmered, not beliveing his own words. Dragonfire had given up hope of the she-cat ever returning long ago. Now he simply was lost in sorrow.

[sunni bells]

Worldcall this time forced herself to refrain from disagreeing. "Maybe..." she muttered taking the lead through the forest. The dreams that filled her head every night weren't just dreams were they? She could only hope. For her, for him. Crushed, she walked along in silence. Only the steady beat of their paws slapping against the forest terrain kept the two company in their thoughts. "I'm sorry, this isn't easy for anyone... Some many are gone." pictures snapped through her head, cats she had lost in her life and most recently Bluesky. She swallowed the forming lump in her throat. "I-" her thoughts trailed off again, she would not complete that sentence. "We've just got to trust Starclan, right?" her last word held uncertainty that she had hoped would never show through to her clan, if she lost hope she was the clans biggest connection. So many depended on so few. She let her feet drum harder, in small rapid steps as she made her way along. Changing the tempo. A bird tweeted and another replied but all were lost to her... Just like everything else.

[Lupin]

"StarClan will always be there to guide our paw steps," Dragonfire meowed firmly. He was a loyal beliver in StarClan, and never had a doubted his starry ancesters, "As they will be guiding Weatherspiral's," he meowed much less confidently. "Let us talk about a lighter subject," Dragonfire meowed. He was disliking all the talk about StarClan and Weatherspiral. The reason he had left camp was to get his mind in the right place and stop worrying. "Have any patients recently?" he asked softly, taking a few soft steps forward.

[sunni bells]

Worldcall nodded, thankful for his way of gracefully changing the subject. "Not lately, though it was pretty busy trying to restore all my herbs after... You know..." she paused in wishful thinking, "It's been difficult trying to restock all my herbs in the dead of winter." a slightly worried expression filled her face, "I can only hope no one gets to sick this leafbare..." Again he voice trailed into the thin air, she looked at him, her eyes were wider now as she thought of all that had to be done, "And you? It must be hard to try and whip Thunderclan back into shape."

(WE GOT SNOW! :] )

[Lupin]

((Yay snow!! We have about a meter right now of it))

Dragonfire chuckled slightly at the medicine cat's comment. "Not really. Each warrior of ThunderClan is an exellent addition. I've had no trouble with a single one with any kind of patrol. Although I'm thankful we havn't had any type of border fights for moons. That would mean trouble for me as well as you," he meowed this thinking of her lack of herbs. "If your so low on herb supplies, mind if I try and help you out with finding some? Even though it's been a cold leaf-bare so far, it seems prey is still around."

[sunni bells]

(A meter! Wow! We only got like a foot and 3 inches...)

Worldcall nodded, Any help would be a delight to me. she muttered, already beginning to paw through some brambles. Her heavy sigh of relief as she waved some plants in the deputies direction, Yarrow... I'm sure you know what that's for. her eyes lit up as she dropped the prey to the ground. She bent to grab some more, What a rare thing to find in the dead of leaf-bare.[/b] she sat back. Another mouthful laid on the ground. What I really need is some goldenrod and juniper berries, they're really low. Her eyes scanned the area, If we can find a big leaf of something we can carry all the herbs in that, it would be helpful. she explained.[/size]

[Lupin]

The orange tom turned around, forest green eyes searching the forest for what had been requested. "Big leaf, big leaf," he murmered. There were few leafs left with the late leaf-bare, but a few ferns scattered the ground. Clumsily, Dragonfire bit into one, tugging it back before it ripped off and hung loose in his mouth. "This good?" he asked, turning to the medicine cat.

[sunni bells]

Grinning a little the woman nodded. That'll do. she purred, her eyes almost laughing, but still tickled with sadness. Slipping forward a little she grasped the leaf from him and dropped it upon further inspection. It will do... she allowed. But greenleaf will be good for us. She shook her head sadly. A flash of color in the corner of her irises sparked her curiousness. Maybe...? she trailed off hopefully. She loped back wretchedly. Deathberries and Juniper aren't quite the same... I just thought- sighing she looked down, I'm afraid that this cold season has gotten the best of us. she murred dejectedly.

[Lupin]

Dragonfire allowed a smile to slip across his face at Weatherspiral's own small grin. "I'm glad to hear that. When greenleaf does come, it will surely only bring ThunderClan into a much better time. Perhaps a few kits will arrive even. It would be nice to have a few small kits underfoot again," he purred slightly. The large tom had always liked the little bundles of fur. The large tom akwardly padded closer to Worldcall, allowing his tail to slip comfertingly across her back. "But the cold season can only last so long. It's won't be long till we have leaves again on the trees and plentiful prey and herbs.
