tw for recurring but pretty light descriptions of gore SRP takes place right after she was attacked by a harrier (weekly updates) -- The adrenaline had yet to leave Nocturne. She was standing there, frozen, staring down at her paw. And on it lied blood. Blood It now occured to her she had never seen her own blood before. Had never felt so vulnerable, or this earthly. How could this be? What had she done to deserve such a punishment? A punishment, yes. This was a punishment. For the way her stomach had twisted when those heinous deathberries had rested in the same paw. Terrible thoughts had come upon the apprentice, willing her to do terrible things. She deserved every second of pain, if Starclan thought she did. The harrier was gone now, leaving only a few feathers spread across the undergrowth and the red hot pulsing of Nox’s cheek. /I’ll never betray myself like that again/. Nocturne vowed to herself, gaze flickering up to the blanket of night above her. The stars stared down at her, and she could almost hear them speaking back to her. In low whispers, like the sound of the breeze or flowing of the creek. She leaned forward as the susurrations grew stronger, willing them to come upon her. “I can’t understand!” Nocturne pleaded, stumbling forward. Now she was completely engulfed in the whispers; the molly couldn’t seem to understand where her own thoughts ended and those of Starclan began. And suddenly she was wishing it would stop, wishing that it wouldn’t be so loud and wishing everything would stop spinning and wishing she could tell who she was and wishing the blood would stop falling from her chin. How to make it stop? How to make such malaise fade away like the breaking of dawn? /I’ll never betray you like that again/. She vowed again, this time to Starclan. And then there was silence once more. -- Note: Nocturnepaw cannot hear, see, or talk to Starclan! To any extent! The whispers she hears are from her imagination due to hysteria Awwww my babies starting her villian arc awwww Im gonna make super sick art for this.... eventually...
