mutiny, rebellion, coup, insurrection.

all are words that have been uttered beneath quiet breaths to describe what took place yesterday when skyclaw rose from growing supporters to stake his claim to thunderclan, ripping it right from the paws of his own kin and declaring that they will be great again by ridding those whose bloodline is tainted with kittypet for it is now considered unworthy.

spiderkit tried to make sense of it all but a quiet voice in the back of their mind urges them to keep hushed, to not question what occurred lest they want to end up like the other cats who spoke out against the chimera so for now they keep to themselves as they always have and observed as life resumes from the shadowy corners of camp where a few minutes of watching a familiar pelt of blue and white catches his eye.

just a few tail-lengths away where he was sat meandered his sister, going between the more downtrodden members of camp and attempting to keep spirits up and pang of sympathy pierced through his heart...she was trying so hard to keep everyone's smile upon their faces but who is the one keeping up hers? the moment myrtlekit is on her own spiderkit, who is made up of spindly limbs, slinks out from the comforts of umbra to approach his sibling where he would greet her with a gentle bump of his head against hers.

"he-hey myrtlekit, ar-are you doing ok-okay?" they rumble out in a quiet, concerned stutter.

    a sh, gangly solid black kitten with large ears and wide, golden eyes.
    at first glance, spiderkit is nothing remarkable compared to other children in the clan but a double take will point out something glaringly obvious about them that being the fact they are unusually tall for a thunderclanner and one could almost question whether or not they were born in the right clan. other than sporting a coat weaved from the shadows of night itself and baring wide, unnerving golden eyes he also seems to have quite the set of ears upon their head and a snaggletooth that peeks just from beneath his lip.

    —— spiderkit is a very strange child and incredibly introverted, a complete opposite to his fluffier sibling myrtlekit. they aren't the best at socializing and *tries* to befriend others but because of his way to make things awkward and the eerie aura that clings to his tiny frame, he's usually seen by himself in the shadows watching everyone else. this does not help the weird kid allegations.

Myrtlekit wanted to do her best for everyone. She wanted to share their experiences with them and help cope with the negativity. The young girl wanted to share their burdens, their concerns, their worries, their tears. She wanted them to know that despite this terrible time that they weren't alone and someone still loved and cared for them. Skyclaw can kill, steal and take all they wanted, but they wouldn't steal the kindness of a true Thunderclanner. Former kittypet, rogue, half-kitty, half-rogue, full-blood. It didn't matter where their bloodline came from, who their parents were — a true Thunderclanner held pride and love for all their clanmates, regardless of their history.

Did they not all bleed the same color? Mousenose had bled the same color despite having kittypet in her blood, Howlingstar still bled the same color. They all did, yet Skyclaw and his crew refused to believe so. They lost innocent lives that day because they refused to see the idiocy in their ways. It pained her small heart to watch everyone suffer and know that she'd never see Howlingstar again. How could she forget the softening gaze when she ran up to Howlingstar and begged to hear stories from the past? She'd never watch as those old eyes of hers lit up when she talked about the Great Battle or the memories of her all friends, family, and life.

She'd never be able to hear the stories again.

A sudden headbutt connects to her dome: gentle and concerning for her. Her brown eyes blink for a moment as she finally registers that it was her brother as she rubs her head against his. They look concerned for her and she snaps out the gaping void of missing Howlingstar and reminded herself that she needed to be strong for everyone and for her brother. She forces a big smile as she lets out a soft giggle and purrs, ”Yeah. I'm okay, are you okay? I know it's scary but I'll protect you.” Myrtlekit murmurs as she rubs her cheek against his to comfort them.
 
in typical cheery fashion myrtlekit states that she's okay and although it doesn't fully put to rest the worry that occupies his thoughts, spiderkit decides against voicing this aloud for the moment and simply takes in the comfort of his sister's presence. "i'll pro-protect you t-too, i know i'm n-not the strongest bu-but i-i'll give anyone a g-good swipe on the no-nose if they try to hu-hurt you." the meekness in their tone doesn't help to convey a confident message but there is no mistaking the genuineness that shines within aureate irises.

pulling away slightly, spiderkit has made it a habit to always glance around their surroundings for anything strange and even more so now with the threat that looms in every corner of camp in the form of skyclaw's subordinates who always seem to be listening for anyone that may be showing signs of defiancy. "do you th-think this is go-going to be forever? li-like when we are ap-apprentices are the-they gonna make us-" they swallow nervously. "kill our cla-clanmates who had u-uhm ki-kittypet blood if we ever see th-them again?" at any other point in time this might've been such a ludicrous thought to have but now it seems so very plausible.

spiderkit feared the idea of one day going against his clanmates for the sake of pleasing skyclaw's weird views on how a true thunderclan should be.

The words of her brother bring a smile to her lips and she can't help the giggle that leaves her lips. Despite their timid nature, she was sure that Spiderkit would beat someone up if they ever attempted to hurt her. ”Mmh... Only hurt the bad people, okay? They think it's okay to bully everyone else.” She coos softly as her long squirrel-plumed tail loosely wraps around her forepaws, her nose scrunching at the thought of the villains. Myrtlekit sometimes wondered if this was just a big nightmare, but it was real. It wasn't just a bad dream. Her gaze follows his golden eyes to search their surroundings, which she noted was something he seemed to do by habit.

His words catch her off guard as she paws idly at the blades of grass. Do you th-think this is go-going to be forever? Li-like when we are ap-apprentices are the-they gonna make us- Her brown eyes flick to them for a moment as she ponders the possibility and shakes her head. Myrtle couldn't let those negative thoughts get to her head. She had to be the shining light in this moment of darkness. ”Of course not! I doubt Skyclaw will be in the lead for longer. I doubt the council will let them keep this act up much longer.” She responds after successfully pondering the question of her ebony sibling.

Howlingstar selected her council with careful precision and knew they would care for Thunderclan always. If anything, they were most likely waiting for the right time to act when Skyclaw and his followers were off guard. They couldn't do anything at the start when they were prickling at every rebuttal and would easily murder someone because innocents would get harmed. Prey can hunt and harm a predator if carefully planned, and she doubted the council would let this farce continue longer. Right...?
