Maggot In The Den

[Maggotscreech]

The new warrior, Maggotscreech, sleekly slipped into the Warriors' Den, awaiting his next victim to arrive. He hadn't learned anything. And no matter how many times he was punished, he would continue to cause trouble. Sneakily, he snook some bugs into one den and worms into another, placing his spiders all over the den walls. He then hid in a corner, not bothered by the small spider making a web in his ear.

[Sandstep]

Sandstep was sleeping, or close enough to it anyway. She woke up when a spider crawled over to her and snorted at it. "Must be another one of 'his' tricks. You poor thing. You never stood a chance." The she cat narrowed her eyes and squashed the spider. "Oh you poor thing..." She repeated before turning her gaze level to the ground to see if anyone else was here. "Maggot! Where are you!"

[Maggotscreech]

Maggotscreech stayed silent, looking at Sandstep. He would've pounced on her but just couldn't be bothered. He was too tired from staying up all night at the vigil.

[Silverlight]

Silverlight padded into the Warriors Den a while after Maggotscreech. She saw the creatures there and knew exactly who had done it. "Maggotscreech! You never stop, do you?" She mewed loudly. She saw some movement in a corner and assumed that he was probably there. She narrowed her eyes.

[Sandstep]

Sandstep looked at the two of them from where she was laying and decided to ride to her paws. The pale she cat noticed another new warrior was in the den and gave a sigh. They don't stop coming do they? she thought. Having noticed where the other she cat was looking Sandstep walked over there and gave a snort.

"Would you mind behaving for a day? Darkstar's already been informed numerous times of your little schemes. Maybe one day you will learn." She turned her gaze to face the other new warrior. "Let's hope you have more of a mind." Sandstep muttered and then returned her gaze to Maggotscreech to hear his response if there was any.

[Maggotscreech]

Maggotscreech narrowed his eyes at Silverlight and walked out after he was spotted. The next thing he looked at was Sandstep, "Behave?" he continued, "You've got to be totally mad."

[Silverlight]

Silverlight watched Maggotscreech pad out and walked out after him, quietly.
"I can't believe he even became a warrior the same time as me," she muttered under her breath.

[Mousetail]

Mousetail was padding toward the warriors den, plotting, which was his new hobby. he mostly liked sinister plots. This time he was plotting how to wake up and elder without them knowing who. *It works best with a black tom or she-cat.* He thought. *Sneak inside the den, be very careful not to step on one of them, get behind one, gently grab his or her tail in your teeth, and ya-* His thoughts were cut off by maggotscreech padding out of the den. *Second time I've encountered him randomly and he was padding out of a den.* He then saw that maggotscreech was being silently tailed by silverlight. *Also the second time he was being followed by somebody.* Mousetail was puzzling on this but then stopped and decided to see what was happening with him. But first, he needed to do a quick security check. He padded inside and was relieved to find that his nest was fine. But that was pretty much the only nest that was fine. An image of the Maggotscreech that he saw a minute ago formed in his mind. He then froze. Did maggotscreech have a spiderweb in his ear? *Wow. So, does that count as one of his schemes backfiring?* He thought. He was puzzling over THIS now, when he jerked himself back to the present. He quickly chased all of the bugs that were around his nest outside and into the woods, then caught back up to silverlight. He was about to speak normally, but then remembered that silverlight was trying to be stealthy. So instead of speaking out loud, he leaned in close to silverlight and whispered the question, "What's wrong with him?" Mousetail then realized that he already knew, but silverlight was already answering.

[Silverlight]

"Well, you know what he's like. And now this time he and Sandstep are arguing." she whispered. Silverlight narrowed her eyes at Maggotscreech, and stood there for a little, thinking of what to do.
(lol since when were your posts so long?)

[Sandstep]

Sandstep twitched her whiskers. One day he will learn, she thought. One day. Or if he doesn't wind up learning he can go to dark pool and actually fade away from there in the end. She padded after him. "Oh you bet I'm mad. Haven't we already learned this little Maggotpaw?" She spat at him and said, "you don't even deserve a warrior name, at least not till you start acting like one." Sandstep was ready for a fight. If he wanted one he was going to get one. Or something in replace of it.

[Mousetail]

Mousetail saw the fire in sandstep's eyes and took a step away from her. *Wow* He thought. *she really is mad.*
"Easy there, sandstep" Mousetail said. He didn't want a fight to break out in the middle of camp, where anyone could see them. And that is exactly what he told sandstep. "We don't want a fight to break out where everybody can see us. Personally, I don't want a fight breaking out at all. Someone could get seriously hurt, judging by the conflict between you two. And it may not be maggotscreech that gets injured. And even if you do manage to survive the battle with him, that could be fatal punishment wise." He wanted to make sure that everyone would be ok and not die for a while. Or get injured, for that matter.

[Maggotscreech]

Maggotscreech sat, looking like a 'dumbnugget' ((makin up my own words)). "I have no idea what you're talking about." he said. Actually, he had lost interest in what was happening the moment everyone started talking in extremely long sentences. " don't thnk anyone'd get hurt, he yawned with a stretch, "But that's not got anything to do with anything really."

[Sandstep]

Sandstep flicked her tail gently at Moustail's shoulder. "I'm not going to do anything. At least not start a fight." She was glad to hear someone had sense within their head even though it was not within her own head. "Of course no one will get hurt. There's not going to be a fight. Manage your claws and muzzle, then nothing shall happen." The pale she cat looked over at Mousetail, hoping he would be somewhat alright with her response. But she didn't need to listen to anyone but the leader and deputy. They were the bosses, and what they said was law.

[Mousetail]

Mousetail nodded at sandstep. "Understood." He said. "It's good to know that." He sighed in relief. "I can't believe I actually thought a fight would break out in the middle of camp." He wondered why he was worried. He wasn't worried about things like that before. *Probably because nothing like that ever happened before.* He reassured himself. He turned to maggotscreech. "I have no idea where that sentence came from" He said. "But what I do know is that injuries usually have to do with fighting, so there. And it does have something to do with right now, because a fight might have broken out. Believe me, I could sense it. And uh, yeah. I'm gonna go gather up all the bugs and spiders in the warriors den. And, uh, maggotscreech, I'd be careful. Someday you may turn the whole clan against you." And with that, he used one of his stealth tactics simply because he felt like it. He found a dark shadow and padded into it. Obviously, they could still see him. But then he kicked up a lot of dirt to make a cloud in front of him, hoping to keep them distracted. He then padded silently through the dark shadow toward the warriors den. He reached the entrance and glanced back. The dust cloud nearly disappeared, but they still didn't see him. He silently padded into the warriors den and started gathering up the bugs that maggotscreech had spread across the den. *Wow. He gathered up a lot of bugs to put in here.* He thought.

[Silverlight]

Silverlight narrowed her eyes at Maggotscreech. "You'd better watch yourself, you maggot. You might not want to start a fight with your clanmates," she muttered. She then turned away and went into the warriors' den, where she found Mousetail gathering up the bugs that Maggotscreech had put around. She started to help gather up the bugs as well.
