DIE ANOTHER DAY ⁺˖⋆ VILEFURY

[nightbird]

⋆˖⁺‧₊☽◯☾₊‧⁺˖⋆ nightbird sits just outside the nursery, today her eye roams with a purpose. raccoonstripe had come to her, shared the happenings of flamewhisker's private meeting whilst their kits had their ears turned. as much as she wished to include them in this, kittens had painfully loose tongues. for their own safety, it must remain a secret.

there were cats she could share with, ones carefully selected, ones they must know to be far from skyclaw's reach. who better than a new warrior, already dishonored by him in name? nightbird had witnessed vilefury's reaction, she was a safer start than any. so, when the young warrior walks through camp, the queen is quick to call to her while her children slept.

"vilefury," the name is acidic in her mouth, but nightbird's distaste is hidden under a stoic expression. "come, i need help with my nest." she disappears into the nursery after, beckoning the warrior to the corner furthest from sleeping kittens. there would be no weaving today, all she cared about now was securing support for flamewhisker, vengeance for howlingstar.

The name left vile on her tongue, made her feel gross as others so willingly used it with a sneer on their maw. She wished so eagerly she could wipe their smug faces clear with her claws, spill the blood she desperately craved.

She's been more snappy since the meeting- but she promised softpaw; not carrionshriek, never that name that graced her sisters name and smeared her image into the mud, that she would keep her claws sheathed and stay safe. Keep her image low as even during hunts she felt the eyes of traitors burn into her pelt.

Stalked like prey to a pack of wolves- but for once, she seemed to be okay. No eyes burned into her flesh- until, "Vilefury." She almost snarled, her ears peeling back, until her blue gaze met Nightbirds, and she dropped her expression to neutral, and dipped her head in respect to the queen. "Of course," she responded, confused. But nonetheless, she never declined any kind of work.

She would follow after the grey queen with no reluctance, steps careful as she slinked into the nursery, and softness filled her eyes. "I hope you're fairing well, Nightbird. Which one is your nest?" ​

⋆˖⁺‧₊☽◯☾₊‧⁺˖⋆ "never mind that, we have more pressing matters to discuss." she waves off the question, the pleasantries that never quite appealed to her. as soon as she is in far enough so that their voices may be concealed, nightbird's expression takes on a far grimmer note.

"i am sorry for what he did with your name, with softpaw's. none of you deserve that," nightbird sighs, the makings of a growl pulling her throat. it was a blatant abuse of power such a wretch should never had harbored. fortunately, their time was coming to an end. "flamewhisker will make things right. hold out for a while longer, and heed her call when the time comes. you will get your revenge, vixenpaw, but you must to keep your head down for now." there is an expectant question in her eye, waiting for the promise that vixenpaw would do her best to hold her tongue.

Her head tilted, though she realized the seriousness the lead warrior portrayed as she spoke- her voice honey on daggers, eyes filled with the anger she herself felt. everyone was angry, at least the ones that did not follow Skyclaws words and fake promises of bettering them.

He was not bettering them, he was cruel, mistaken. Her chin raised a tad, not in the normal I'm better than you- but the realization of what nightbird had said. It would dip down, her eyes shutting. "I will do my best, Nightbird. My paws will follow Flamewhiskers, and I will be listening for it." After a moment her blue eyes open back up, and an unreadable expression passes her face. "You will not apologize for what you did not do, none of this is on you. Do not feel bad, for these are not star given names. They mean nothing. But I appreciate the generosity, and I appreciate you taking the time to tell me. If there is anything and I mean anything you need me to do- don't hesitate to ask me."

Vilefury felt weird, but she also felt... Mature. Nightbird trusted her with this. And now that the queen had- she wouldn't dare let anyone pry it from her jaws- not even when she was dead. To be an apprentice- to be a warrior, one would swear their life to the clan. And she was but a mere dog, trained to do their bidding- but at least she knew the difference between right and wrong.
