PumpkinClan Moon 0: A Bitter New Leader (Story)

In the days since Galespeck had finally come up with a cure for the deadly disease that ravaged through PumpkinClan, the entire Clan had felt a weight be lifted from their shoulders. Although their losses were tremendous, their recovery would be even greater.

Appleflame nosed her way into camp, carrying a large thrush in her mouth, Larkcinder and Asterjoy following her. She nodded to Heronrose as she sat down her prey. The brown tom was speaking sternly to his apprentice, Onepaw, whose eyes lit up with glee after he finished speaking. The young black-and-white she-cat nodded, then turned to share her news with Slipsoar and Sproutdapple, who were sharing tongues.

"When do you think Bitterspeck and Galespeck will be back?" Asterjoy asked, padding over to Appleflame. Appleflame sighed. "Soon, I hope." she said in response, taking a mouse for herself and sitting down. Asterjoy followed her.

"I remember when Bloomstar went to get her lives - it didn't take nearly as long. Maybe something went wrong. Do you think something went wrong?"

Appleflame grunted. "Only StarClan knows. But I'm sure nothing bad happened - this is Bitterspeck we're talking about. She can hold her own."

"I suppose your right." Asterjoy said with a sigh, nibbling at her vole. "It's just - I try not to worry, but we've been dealing with so much lately. It almost feels as though StarClan's punishing us. I don't want us to be punished again."

"StarClan isn't punishing us. Sometimes mouse dunged things happen, and StarClan can't stop it. They can only guide us, or whatever." Appleflame did her best to console the older she-cat, but in truth she was just saying nonsense. What did an ordinary warrior like her know about StarClan?

Suddenly, Larkcinder yowled in excitement. Appleflame smelled the air, and realized what was going on, and before she knew it all (eight members) of PumpkinClan were flocking to the camp entrance, as Bitterspeck and Galespeck padded through. Both looked tired, but there was a new spark in Bitterspeck's step as she dipped her head to her Clanmates, padding over to where the leader called the Clan to order.

"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather around the Vineheap for a Clan meeting!" The Vineheap was a tangled mess of leaves and vines, both living and dead. On top of it all was a large tree stump, situated on a hill positioned slightly above the rest of camp. It was odd, watching her former deputy stand there, but Appleflame couldn't help but admit that it seemed to suit her.

Galespeck went to stand at the base of the stump, at Bitterspeck's right. He looked up at her, nodding, and Bitterspeck took a deep breath, turning to look at her Clan. "Cats of PumpkinClan!" Bitterspeck yowled. "Galespeck and I have visited the Moonstream. StarClan has accepted me as your leader."

With those words, the Clan immediately begun to chant: "Bitterstar! Bitterstar!" Appleflame joined them, yowling as loud as she could, and she thought she saw Bitterstar's eyes meet hers for a moment. Bitterstar raised her tail for silence, and she continued. "I, of course, mourn and respect those before me: Bloomstar was an incredible leader, and I will miss her every day, as I'm sure you all will. I will do my best to live up to her example, and become a leader that both she, the rest of our fallen Clanmates, and all of you can be proud of." Bitterstar and Galespeck exchanged a glance. "However; I must perform another duty, as the leader of PumpkinClan: picking our new deputy, the cat that will serve alongside me as my trusted second-in-command and one day take my place."

The camp grew silent then, and although none of them would admit it, Appleflame knew that every cat was anxiously awaiting to hear if their name would be called (except Onepaw, of course).

"On the journey home, I thought long and hard about which cat I wanted as my deputy, and I believe that the perfect cat to stand beside me does indeed reside here, in this Clan." Bitterstar gazed at Appleflame. "Appleflame, I would like you to be my deputy."

Appleflame padded forward, both surprised and pleased at her leader's choice. She didn't think that she'd be chosen over some of the other cats in the Clan, but she was proud of being Bitterstar's first choice. "I would be honored, Bitterstar."

"Then Appleflame will be the new deputy of PumpkinClan."

Once again, the cats yowled, but this time Appleflame's name was being called. Bitterstar gestured over to her left, and Appleflame took her position, finding herself pleased at being included at the front of the Clan. Looking up at Bitterstar, watching her conclude the Clan meeting, Appleflame couldn't help but notice how a new maturity had fallen over her. There was a new darkness in her eyes, and Appleflame couldn't help but wonder what exactly the new leader had seen when she had gotten her lives.

PumpkinClan Moon 1: A Single Vigil (story)

As the moon rose above the camp, the newly named Onewhisker padded to the camp entrance, her ears pricked up as she stared out at the fields beyond. Her heart lurched in her stomach as she thought back to earlier that evening, when Bitterstar, PumpkinClan's new leader, had touched her nose to hers, pride shining in her gaze.

"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Onepaw, from this moment on you will be known as Onewhisker. StarClan honors your compassion, and we welcome you as a full warrior of PumpkinClan."

Compassion. Standing here, ready for her solo vigil, Onewhisker couldn't help but think back to the virtue that Bitterstar had specifically chosen to point out. Was Onewhisker really a compassionate cat? She tried to be kind to everyone, yes, but she honestly thought that that word was a stretch. Did Bitterstar think hard about what to say to describe Onewhisker, or did she just say the first thing that came to mind? It was these thoughts that Onewhisker found herself lost in, when she felt her shoulder get gently knocked by a tail. Heronrose, her (former) mentor, was standing behind her.

"Are you ready?" Heronrose asked. Onewhisker nodded, and Heronrose rolled his eyes. "Hey, your vigil hasn't begun yet. You can speak for now." "Sorry," Onewhisker apologized. "I was just...Heronrose, do you think I'm compassionate?"

Heronrose looked surprised at the question, and raised an eyebrow. "I suppose so. Every cat has at least a little bit of compassion in them. Why?"

"Well, Bitterstar said I was, but I was just...wondering what other cats thought of me, I guess." Onewhisker mewed awkwardly. Heronrose snorted in amusement.

"Hey, Onewhisker; don't think too hard about that kind of stuff. Personally, I think you're a fine cat, and you're going to be a great warrior. And, you know, take some pride in the fact that you were the first cat made a warrior by our new leader. Leaders always have a special connection with the first cat they name."

Onewhisker's eyes widened. "Really?"

Heronrose nodded. "Really." He cuffed her gently behind the ear. "Don't stress this vigil business, okay? You'll do just fine."

The stocky brown tom padded away, and Onewhisker dipped her head in thanks. She was proud to have been the apprentice of such a wise cat; even if he could be grumpy sometimes.

The black-and-white she-cat padded outside, taking her spot as the camp's only guard for the night. She breathed in and out, then fixed her gaze on the stars, excitement bursting beneath her pelt at her new life awaiting her.

Meet Butterstar cookie is a cookie made with a fallen star and hates every beast especially shadow milk cookie (they used to admire them) there also I childish short queen who has the light of guidance (since stars used to guide people in the sky) Butterstar also has a friend whose name is dry biscuit cookie they used to be a young soldier who died trying to save everyone from the beast (got destroyed by shadow milk cookie) which made Butterstar kinda insane and now lives in her archive watching the beast in their prison in their orb back then she didn’t use her powers because she would get out of hand with it and become her alt personality bitterstar. I made this oc because I saw that all the beast are named after ingredients so I figured that having butter as a cookie would stand out lol she is also more powerful with bitterstar so…maybe I can make this into a story idk she also makes plushies which is similar to how shadow milk makes cardboard cutouts of the cookies she remakes shadow milk just to destroy him again and for the other beast she just gives them tears and patches them up again she also has an audience of fallen stars who follow her every whim like booing every time shadow milk or the other beast showed up clapped and cheered a bit when ever any cookie else was there and cheered whenever Butterstar cookie was even mentioned so yeah I might make more of these and also this is my first time posting things like this so yeah
