Starting New

After almost a full day up in the trees, Tanglestar watched the river water decreased slowly. He leaped from the tree branch he was resting on. The ground was soaking wet and puddles laid everywhere, where the clearing used to be.
"Everyone can come down now," He meowed and searched the dens. The water had wrecked the dens, the nursery brambles had washed away, along with the protective barrier. Tanglestar shook his head.
"This will take a lot of cleaning up," He meowed.
"Why don't we just leave?" Adderstrike yowled as he shook his wet paws.
"We can't leave, this is our home!" Sleetpaw protested. Sweetpaw agreed. "Besides, Mistypaw and Shadowpaw are missing!"
"Enough!" Tanglestar growled. "We are not leaving."

"Tanglestar! You're going to want to look at this!" Tanglestar heard Owlsight's meow. He made his way to where his deputy was standing, he seemed to be standing over dark tabby fur.
"Oh no," Tanglestar meowed when he figured out who the limp body was.
Brokenfeather.
"What will we do without a medicine cat?!" Copperflame meowed as she peered over Tanglestar to see the medicine cat.
"We have one," Blackfeather meowed and looked at Moonpaw.
Moonpaw gulped as eyes focused on her. Was she really ready to take on the role of her mentor?

Tanglestar looked at his clanmates. "We won't sit vigil for our lost clanmates because it's wet and we need to repair our clan. We also need to find Snowfall's body-"
"And Mistypaw!" Sleetpaw added, his eyes were sad. His mother was dead and his sister was missing. What more could go wrong?

Unexpected Surprises

Tanglestar had leaped at Azure and had entered himself into a ferocious tussle. He slashed, clawed, and even bit the rouge she-cat, trying to do everything he could to drive her as well as her followers.
Just than dark clouds that had been threatening the sky for several days covered the EmberClan clearing but none of the cats noticed, they were too busy defending their sides. Rouge and Clan cat.
Mistypaw was in the forest, she had been chased and was out of breath. She scented the air and her hackles raised when she smelled the strong scent of a cat very familiar. A cat that she didn't want to encounter now.
She looked to the sky to feel the first raindrop hit her cheek and slide off, almost like a teardrop. Soon the raindrop was followed by others.
The rain didn't follow lightly, it was drenching the whole forest, leaving nothing dry. Soon the clearing was filled with not only blood and cat fur but mud and rain water.
EmberClan cats continued fighting with the rouges. Trying their hardest to defend their territory.

Suddenly, a large crack could be heard. Tanglestar broke away from Azure and looked around wildly and not much after the crack rushing water could be heard. He instantly understood what he meant.
"EmberClan retreat! Head to the trees!" He yowled and quickly scaled a tree next to his den. The last of his clan mates climbed a tree as well as Jingo and Red, leaving the rouges yowling insults in the middle of the clearing. Soon enough water rushed into EmberClan's clearing, washing away everything, including the rouges.
"StarClan why have you destroyed my clan?" Tanglestar meowed quietly and watched the water rush by.

[Shadowpaw and Mistypaw are still in the forest, as far as everyone knows there life/death is unknown]

Revealed Secrets

[I am sooooo sorry! This is long over-due, but this post is utterly wait-worthy! So hang tight and comment on this post! :D
-Alado loves Rocky and Colt]


Snake was tired of waiting for his leader's son. He made his way through the brambles and thistles of the EmberClan territory and soon he was close enough to hear whispering. He froze. It was Shadow and some she-cats voice.
"What's going on?" Snake demanded, his fur fluffed up in hostility but the she-cat was already running back towards her camp.
Snake whirled on Shadowpaw. "How's that, Traitor?" He spat.
Shadowpaw leaped back, slightly startled. "She's no one. Just one of my fake clanmates," Shadowpaw meowed.
Snake shook his head. "C'mon, Azure is waiting for us."
"Wait! I have to get Hidden!" Shadow protested and ran through the bushes. He pushed through the bramble barrier and nearly crashed into Mistypaw who was talking quietly to her brother, Sleetpaw.
She casted one hurt-filled glance in Shadowpaw's direction before continuing her talking.
Shadowpaw simply ignored her, his mind going in a hundred directions but his heart going in only one. He didn't acknowledge it, instead he leaped over to Hiddenpaw, she was talking with Blazepaw.
"Hiddenpaw, we have to go. Now." Shadowpaw meowed and gave an uneasy glance towards Blazepaw.
"What do you mean-" Hiddenpaw meowed and was stopped when a sudden thought came to mind. "No...!" She meowed and walked away from Blazepaw, signaling to Shadowpaw to follow her.
"I won't do it," She said.
"What do you mean?" Shadowpaw hissed. "You're juts going to let us all down?"
Hiddenpaw sighed, "I know I came here to be a spy, but I've grown to like it here," She said giving a quick look at Blazepaw. "I can't just let the rouges destory my home."
"This is not your home!" Shadowpaw meowed in disbelief.
"It is, I've changed," Hiddenpaw meowed. "I'm not Hidden anymore. I'm Hiddenpaw, out of everyone, I thought that you'd be the one to understand..." She finished looking passed Shadowpaw.
He turned to see her staring at Mistypaw. "It's her loss, as well as yours," He meowed sharply and raced out of the EmberClan camp, nearly crashing into Snake who was looking for him. "Let's go," the brown tabby meowed gruffly and Shadowpaw nodded.
~~~~~~~~~

"As soon as Snake gets back we will attack!" Azure meowed and the many rouges surrounding her cheered.
"Tonight is the night that EmberClan dies!" A well muscled stone-gray tom with green eyes called.
"Stone is right!" Replied Crimson.
The air was suddenly filled with the chorusing sound of the rouges.
"Let's feast!" Snake yowled as he entered the dirty area where the rouges stayed. Heads whipped in the dark tabby's direction and Azure's eyes narrowed to slits.
"Where's Shadow and Hidden?" She demanded and leaped down from her post.
Shadowpaw stepped from behind Snake. "Hidden decided to stay with EmberClan..."
"She's a traitor!"
"She must be killed!"
"Kill her!"
Cat's yowled in anger.
"Settle down!" Azure snapped. "Hidden will be killed for betraying us. But for now we must eat. As soon as we are done, EmberClan will pay."
Pay for what?! Red shot an uneasy glance at Jingo. He knew she shared his discomfort.
~~~~~~~~~

"Attack!" A loud yowl awoke Tanglestar out of his den. His eyes were wide with terror.
"EmberClan is under attack!" A different yowl echoed throughout the clearing. It was Blackice's.
Tanglestar poked his head out of his den to see the silver and black tom being tackled by a rouge.
Warriors and apprentices raced out of the den sleepily, what they didn't expect to see was a huge wave of rouges flowing down from the ravine and crashing through the bramble barrier.
"EmberClan attack!" Tanglestar yowled and flung himself at a nearby rouge.
[Battle time! Remember, don't kill the cats listed on the 'Rouge Cat' list unless you have permission from myself, or the person who is playing that cat. You are allowed to make up your own rouge and drive/kill them off, because there are many, many, many rouges attacking the Clan. Hiddenpaw isn't bad, she prefers the life of a clan cat, Shadowpaw is just confused, and Mistypaw is hurt. Also, there will be a surprise for Red and Jingo, so don't kill them off!]

Gathering

(I totally forgot about the gathering but it's better late than never!!)

Tanglestar leaped onto the emberstone his yellow-amber eyes gazing around his clan. "Cats of EmberClan tonight is the gathering (it was a couple days ago but still...) I'd like these cats to go:

Tanglestar
Owlsight
Brokenfeather
Stormfeather
Larkflight
Ivyflight
Copperflame (if she's well enough)
Snaketail
Smallcloud
Moonshimmer
Silverjay
Achingsoul
Blazepaw
Hiddenpaw
Kestrelpaw
Gingerpaw
Shadowpaw
and
Frostpaw"

Tanglestar looked at the called cats. The ones he didn't call looked a little discouraged. "The cats who aren't going you still have the important task of watching over the clan."

(A new post will be posted very, very soon, pretend Silverjay and her littermates and Achingsoul already joined, I'll officially make them join in the new post that's coming soon)

Hidden Secrets

Jingo was talking quietly with Red. He was growing more and more 'useless' as Snake would put it. "Jingo, I don't want to be here, anymore. I hate it here," Red was saying.
Jingo's eyes were sad. "I know, Red, but where would we go? We were born into this, we had no choice."
Red's eyes flared with hope. "What about the Clans? They don't seem that bad!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Are we close?"
"Almost."
"Now?"
"We've walked five paw steps."
"I'm tired. Are we almost there?"
"Soon."
"How about.... now?"
"No."
"Now?"
"Soon."
"No-"

"Just, stay quiet." Snaketail's patience was growing thin. Gingerpaw had been pestering him for what seemed like moons now, but he couldn't blame the young she-cat, she was excited. They were traveling to EmberClan in search of Tanglestar.
While on their way to find a new home, a loner had told the two about the clans and the cat named Tanglestar.
"Are we close now?"
Snaketail let out a long, low sigh. "Count to ten really slowly. By the time your finished, we'll be there."
"Really?" The orange tabby let out an excited squeal and began counting. "Onnneeee......... twwwoooooo.....thhrrreeee-"

"Teeennnn!" Gingerpaw meowed when she finished counting. "Are we here?"
"Yes," Snaketail meowed and entered EmberClan's clearing. Gingerpaw looked startled. She hadn't expected this many cats.
"What are you doing here?" Blazepaw demanded.
Snaketail ignored the young warrior and went to find Tanglestar. He was talking to Snowfall, the gray tabby and white queen looked worried, but as soon as she saw Snaketail she dipped her head and disappeared back into the nursery.
Tanglestar turned around.

"Hello," he meowed, his yellow-amber eyes curious and calm.
"Hello, Tanglestar, right?" Snaketail asked, Gingerpaw hung to his side.
"Yes, how can I help you?"
"We'd like to live here, we heard great things about you and EmberClan."
"Very well, as soon as we get acquainted, I shall call a meeting," Tanglestar meowed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join beneath the emberstone for a Clan meeting!" Mistykit could hear Tanglestar's meow echo throughout the clearing.
Her mother had groomed Sleetkit and her pelt until they were nice and sleek. She wasn't even excited, she just wanted to be an apprentice already.
"Today, I'd like to make many important announcements. First off I'd like to welcome, Snaketail as a warrior of EmberClan. By naming apprentices it shows that EmberClan is still growing and remains strong. "Gingerpaw, we welcome you too EmberClan. Ivyflight will be your mentor.
Also, I'd like to make some kits that are due for their warrior ceremony. Mistykit, Sleetkit, Frostkit, Viperkit, and Shadowkit, you are of age to become apprentices.
"Mistykit you will be known as Mistypaw, Brookrush will be your mentor.
"Sleetkit you will be known as Sleetpaw, your mentor will be Snaketail.
"Frostkit you will be known as Frostpaw, Larkflight will be your mentor.
"Viperkit you will be known as Viperpaw, I will mentor you.
"Lastly, Shadowkit you will be known as Shadowpaw, Blackice will mentor you." Tanglestar smiled.

Blackice looked startled. "But I already have an apprentice, Crescentpaw." He looked over at the black tom who was sitting beside his sister.
"Not anymore," Tanglestar's eyes were humorous.
"Crescentpaw, Swiftpaw, Smallpaw, Mallowpaw, and Blackpaw, please step up here." All five young cats looked at each other, their eyes flared with excitement as they obeyed.

Gee, how exciting. I'd rather be out in the forest than in this stupid Clan, where no one listens or respects me. Mistypaw thought bitterly.
"Crescentpaw, from this moment on you will be known as Crescentmoon.
"Swiftpaw,  you will be known as Swiftwind
"Smallpaw, you will be known as Smallcloud
"Mallowpaw, from this moment on you will be known as Mallowfeather
"Lastly, Blackpaw, you will be known as Blackheart. StarClan welcomes you all as full warriors and apprentices."

Gingerpaw! Mistypaw! Sleetpaw! Viperpaw! Frostpaw! Shadowkit! Crescentmoon! Swiftwind! Smallcloud! Mallowfeather! Blackheart!

(This is the first time EmberClan kits have been made apprentices and EmberClan apprentices have been made warriors! Yay!)

Lurking Dangers

Azure was pacing back and forth, her fur on end. "Snake! Have you heard from Shadow?" The she-cat snapped. Her azure-blue eyes flaring angrily.
"I-I don't know. I think he's still with that," he spat out the next word. "Clan."
"Of course he is! That's where I sent him!" Azure retorted, her eyes turning into slits. She lashed her tail. Mouse-brains! I'm leading mouse-brained cats!
Snake, taking her tail lash as a signal to leave, turned around and padded to the other cats. Jingo was sitting with her brother Red. The dark ginger tom was hanging his head. He clearly didn't want to be here.
"Honestly, I don't understand why Azure keeps you here. You're useless!" Snake growled.
Jingo's hackles raised and she stood up to Snake. Pressing her nose to his. "You got a problem with my brother, Snake?" She snapped. "If he leaves I leave."

"No one's leaving," Crimson hissed as he scrambled over the fence and leaped down beside Red. "Snake go bully someone else."
Snake's hackles raised but Azure appeared from her temporary den. A small twoleg-planted bush.
"We aren't going to beat the clan cats if we can't even get along!" Azure snapped.

~~~~~~~~~

Shadowkit was sitting with Mistykit. Spottedkit had apologized and now they weren't rivals. For the time being. Stupid clan cats. Shadowkit thought darkly. Azure will surely defeat this clan.
Suddenly a beautiful golden kit, dappled with black and has large, gorgeous blue eyes padded confidently into EmberClan's camp.
She froze when she saw all the cats, then slowly turned to leave. She then recognized Shadowkit."Shadow, is that you?"
Shadowkit froze when he heard the she-cat's familiar voice. "Hidden?"
Hiddenpaw cocked her head slightly to one side. "What're you doing here?" She asked quietly.
Shadowkit aimed one glance at Mistykit who was watching the she-cat cautiously.
"Azure sent me here to," Shadowkit looked around, making sure no one was listening. "You know what? We will talk later. Why are you here?"
"You said we'd talk later," Hiddenpaw meowed.

Shadowkit sighed and made his way back to Mistykit as Blazepaw looked around the clearing and his hackles raised when he spotted Hiddenpaw. "What are you doing in EmberClan's camp?" He hissed when he stalked up to her.
"Blazepaw, what did Tanglestar tell you?" Sweetpaw growled as she stood beside her brother.
Spottedkit also spotted the new she-cat in the camp. "Blazepaw why did you..." Her hackles raised. "Who are you?" She growled although her eyes shown the fear she was feeling.
Sweetpaw shot a glare at Spottedkit. "Leave the interviewing to Tanglestar. Both of you, go." She meowed and flicked her brother with her tail.
Spottedkit apologized and turned back to Frostkit and Viperkit.

Tanglestar heard the growls and poked his head out of his den. "New cat. Well," He emerged from his den and padded calmly over to Hiddenpaw. "Hello," He dipped his head.
"The leader of EmberClan?" Hiddenpaw guessed.
Tanglestar nodded. "Yes. Are you alone?"
Hiddenpaw fought the urge to glance over to Shadowkit. "Yes."
"Your an apprentice, aren't you?" He raised an eyes, curiously.
"Yes, I want to join EmberClan. I'm tired of being.. a loner."
"Very well," Tanglestar meowed and bounded onto the emberstone. "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join for a clan meeting!"

He waited patiently as the cats gathered around the emberstone. The sun shinning off of it making it glow beautifully.
"By naming apprentices we show that EmberClan is growing and strong. "Hidden, until you receive your warrior name you shall be known as-"
He was interrupted when three cats entered the clearing. The pretty gray she-cat carrying a gray she-kit. A tortoiseshell she-cat with brilliant amber eyes watched the clan cats. She didn't look a bit frightened.
"Well, what do we have here?" Adderstrike meowed as he turned his attention from Tanglestar to the three she-cats.
"We have traveled far to join EmberClan," The pretty gray tabby meowed as she placed down the she-kit. "I was once a loner, until I found Luna and Kestrel. I am Ivy."
"Ivy, you want to join EmberClan?" Tanglestar meowed.

Ivy nodded. "Yes."
"Alright, you three. Come up here." Tanglestar meowed and the cats parted to let the she-cats by. Wary glances were shared between the queens. Would they dry to harm their kits?
"Let's continue with the ceremony!" Tanglestar yowled and the clan cats meowed with agreement.
"Until you receive your warrior name you will be known as Hiddenpaw. We welcome you as an apprentice for EmberClan. Stormfeather, you are ready for your first apprentice."
Continuing, Tanglestar turned his piercing yellow-amber gaze to Ivy, Luna, and Kestrel.
"Luna, you are not yet six moons old, yes?"
Lunakit nodded.
"Until you are six moons old you will be known as Lunakit. I'd like Blackflower to watch over you until you become an apprentice. Kestrel, you are still of training age, you shall be known as Kestrelpaw until you receive your warrior name.Your mentor will be Fernglade. Lastly, Ivy. You are skilled enough to be a warrior. From now on you will be known as Ivyflight.
"We welcome you all to EmberClan. That is all, clan dismissed."

~~~~~~~~~

Moonstar- Silverfang and Blackpaw
Shattered Dreams- Brokenfeather
Abby and Maddie- Copperflame

Stargaze- Stormfeather, Lightfeather, Wishkit, and Featherkit
Jenna- Screechclaw, Brookrush, and Larkflight

Sunday 19 June 2011

Double Danger

Tanglestar headed back from the gathering with his clan mates following behind him. He hadn't talk, there was no need. There was no trouble in EmberClan, and for the most part, nothing had threatened the forests that the cats of EmberClan walked, apart from the fox attack that seemed moons away. That was over and the Clan was peaceful. Everyone was getting along.
Than he remember the rouges.
The rouges that had injured his clan mates. His family.
He'd have to send out a patrol to make sure these rouges didn't come back.

"Tanglestar," Fernglade puffed as she caught up with him. "How come you didn't tell the other clans about the rouges?"
His fear was rising but he wouldn't let his clan mates know. "Because the other clans don't need to know about them," Tanglestar meowed simply.
"What if they threaten the lives of the other clans, wouldn't it be our fault?" Fernglade continued.
"No, it will be there problem if they don't scent the flea-bags before  they attack," He snapped.
Fernglade recoiled, her eyes wide with surprise. She casted a glance at Owlsight who shrugged, and receded to the back of the group once again.
~~~~~~~~~

Back at camp Shadowkit was playing with Mistykit. Snowfall had fallen asleep and the black kit had persuaded the she-kit in playing outside in the clearing. Sleetkit lingered close by with Viperkit, Frostkit, and Spottedkit.
"Why do they only get to play?" Spottedkit meowed crossly.
"We can play to, I just don't want to," Sleetkit meowed matter-of-factly.
Viperkit rolled her eyes. Toms.

"Can the other kits play?" Mistykit asked and glanced, for a brief heartbeat, at her brother and the three she-kits.
"Why? You don't like playing with me?" Shadowkit meowed. A frown crept onto his small face.
"No! I do, they just seem bored."
"Maybe they don't want to play, I don't think they like me." Shadowkit looked at his paws. Mother would be so proud of me! He thought mischievously. He didn't want to trick the pretty she-cat but she was easy to manipulate.
"What makes you think that?" Mistykit gasped.
Shadowkit grinned in his mind. Easy. "I-I overheard Sleetkit... he doesn't like me, he said I'm a traitor because my mother's a rouge..." He looked up at Mistykit, false hurt shown in his eyes.
"Sleetkit? That's horrible!" She meowed.
~~~~~~~~~
 
Tanglestar arrived in camp with the cats that had been called for a gathering.
"How did it go?" Larkflight asked.
"Well," Tanglestar meowed and pushed passed the gray tom.
Larkflight looked at Blackice with clear confusion, and the black and silver tom shook his head. Now was not the time.
Tanglestar sprang onto the ember stone and called his clan together. "The gathering went great, the new apprentices behaved right, and many new cats were made. I hope everyone remembered not to befriend a cat from another clan, we may fight them some time in the future." He paused for a brief second before continuing.
"I'd like to announce that I welcome the new cats that were attacked by the rouges days earlier. Goldenpaw, Brackenpaw, you will remain apprentices. Brackenpaw your mentor will be Fernglade, Goldenpaw, yours Stonestripe. The queens who fought in the battle, you may live here with your kits as well. Blackflower, Moonshimmer, Lightfeather, you will stay in the nursery until your kits, Spottedkit, Viperkit, Frostkit, Wishkit, and Featherkit are six moons old. Shadow, you will become Shadowkit, I'd like Moonshimmer to watch over him for the time being." Shadowkit broke away from Mistykit and bounded towards Moonshimmer like an innocent bundle of fur.
Tanglestar went on, Stonestripe, Fernglade, Brackenfall, Larkflight, Screechclaw, and Brookrush, you will become warriors. Serve EmberClan well.
That is all, Clan dismissed." Tanglestar didn't even welcome his new clan mates like he usually did, before he padded to his den.

(Feefeekat you wanted Brackenpaw, and Goldenpaw dead? You can RP them with Fernglade and Stonestripe and take them out hunting with their mentors when the rouges attack, it'll help with the plot :) )

Gathering and Playlist

Tanglestar looked up in the sky, the full moon was shining through the tree canopy, making his golden brown pelt turn an eerie silver.
"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join for a Clan meeting!" Tanglestar yowled, letting his voice ring throughout the camp clearing.
"Tonight is obviously a full moon, and cats join for a truce every full moon," He informed his still-fairly-new Clan. "This will be EmberClan's first gathering as me being leader," Tanglestar went on. "These are the cats I would like to go,

Me,
Owlsight,
Brokenfeather,
Blackice,
Silverfang,
Fernglade,
Stormfeather,
Screechclaw,
Mallopaw,
Crescentpaw,
Smallpaw,
and
Brackenpaw!

"All cats that I have named will be coming with me of course, the rest of the clan will keep watch. That is all!"
And with a flick of his tail Tanglestar lead his clan to the gathering.

Rising Rage

Tanglestar surveyed his clan, everyone seemed to be getting along. Crescentpaw was befriending Smallpaw, Thunderstrike was getting acquainted with the soon-to-be apprentice, Mallowpaw, and the kits were playing a game Sleetkit had made up.
Tanglestar leaped onto the emberstone and summoned his clan for a meeting. "First off, I'd like to announce that Owlsight will become EmberClan's deputy." He remembered the brief description Brokenfeather had given him after receiving a sign from StarClan. An owl with obvious, amazing sight watching over the clan's camp, carefully and protectively. Owlsight was meant to be deputy.

There were cheers from the cats below the emberstone and Owlsight dipped his head gratefully.
"Also, I'd like Blackice to become my head warrior," Tanglestar smiled to the black and silver tabby who thanked him quietly. "As for Songstream, Copperflame and Mallowpaw, well Songstream and Copperflame,  we welcome you as a full warriors. Mallowpaw, you are yet still young to become a warrior, but you will train alongside the others. Your mentor will be Thunderstrike."
Thunderstrike touched noses with Mallowpaw.

"Owlsight, I'd like you to send out a patrol," Tanglestar meowed.
"Yes, when Songstream and I were on our way here we scented cats, they didn't smell of EmberClan. More so of crowfood than freshly killed prey."
Songstream nodded in agreement.
"Than take out a patrol immediately."
"Alright, I will take out," he looked at his clanmates for a brief moment before deciding. "Adderstrike, Copperflame, Crescentpaw, Smallpaw, Blackpaw, and I will go."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The cats trekked along the EmberClan border, scenting for any alien scents. Suddenly a screech could be heard and without the need for thinking all six cats rushed to see what had made that noise.
When they burst into the clearing, what they saw horrified them all. A gang of rouges were fighting a small group of cats.
A black and white kit (Shadowkit) was hiding in the ferns, clearly scared, while the battle raged. Three queens were fighting side-by-side as their kits huddled close together. The black queen (Moonshimmer) was lashing out fiercely, while another black queen (Blackflower) was clawing at a strong tabby tom. The delicate-looking gray and white queen's (Lightfeather) eyes looked terrified but the lives of her kits were in danger.
Two small apprentices (Goldenpaw and Brackenpaw) were attacking a lithe gray she-cat as she clawed at them, obviously enjoying the "game" as she dodged their attacks. A well-muscled gray tabby tom (Stonestripe) was fighting alongside a pretty, slender, gray-white she-cat (Fernglade), and a stone coloured tom (Brackenfall) as they drove back five rouges, though the fire in the rouges eyes shown they would fight til their last breath.

One of the kits, a silver and white she-cat with blue-silver eyes (Wishkit) squeaked when she saw the patrol arrive, moved closer to a silver and white she-cat with yellow eyes (Featherkit), as a small gray and white she-kit with green eyes (Viperkit) glanced at the newcomers with fear and pressed to a black kit with white on her muzzle (Frostkit).
Distracted by the squeak the fluffy gray and black tabby she-cat was sent skidding across the battle clearing, almost pushing into a calico she-kit (Spottedkit).
Immediately the clan cats raced in to help.


(Continue role playing! I included everyone, and remember don't kill any rouges or harm them to severe, just drive a couple off and the rest will run off, they are important to the plot later on!)

Sunday 29 May 2011

Seeing Red

Tanglestar called his clanmates for a Clan meeting. Snowfall limped from the nursery, her kits tumbling out of the nursery beside her. The apprentices who had been sharing a meal stopped what they were doing and huddled around the emberstone, letting the warriors sit on one side of the stone.

"Cats of EmberClan," Tanglestar started. "I'd like to say that I appreciate Adderstrike," he looked at his brother who was sitting by the medicine cat, Brokenfeather, "and the two apprentices, Blackpaw and Swiftpaw, apologize to Blackice and Smallpaw." The small silver she-cat ducked, slightly embaressed while Crescentpaw nudged her. Blackice dipped his head to show there were no hard feelings.
"Also, I'd like Thunderstrike to lead a border patrol and report back to me if you find or see anything unusual.
"That is all, Clan dismissed!" Tanglestar meowed and leaped off of the emberstone.

The warriors and apprentices gathered around Thunderstrike, curious on who he'd pick for the first, official patrol.
Thunderstrike let his blue eyes scan his clanmates' waiting faces. "Silverfang, Blackice, Nightwing, and Blazepaw," he meowed.

Sleetkit and Mistykit looked discouraged. "We want to go!"
Snowfall let out a mrrow of laughter. "You'll have time to go on patrols once you are apprenticed," the queen meowed patiently.
"But that's not for a long time!" Mistykit complained while Snowfall ushered her kits back into the nursery as Thunderstrike led his patrol into the forest.

The forest was quiet. The only sound was the wind blowing through the leaves of the tree canopy and the soft patter as the cats moved through the forest. The territory becoming easier to remember.
Suddenly their was a sharp yelp and a yowl of rage.
Startled, Nightwing's fluffy black fur puffed out. "What is that?" She hissed.
"I don't know, let's go check it out," Silverfang meowed while Blazepaw flexed his claws with anticipation.
Thunderstrike pushed forward, his walk turning into a sprint and soon he was bursting through the small clearing. What he saw surprised him.

Two cats were battling with a fox. The she-cat's eyes were locked on the snapping jaws as she clawed at it's muzzle and legs. The tom had leaped on top of the fox and was now digging his claws into it's side to hold himself from falling off of the creature's back while he used his backlegs, clawing at it's back fiercly.
Thunderstrike leaped into action and shoved the fox with his shoulder, setting it off balance but it didn't loose it's focus.
Nightwing, Blackice and Silverfang raced behind Thunderstrike and unsheath their claws. The she-cat, seeing that they were here to help stepped back and flopped down, her sides heaving.
Blazepaw scanned the clearing and spotted a gray and white she-cat with wide, scared hazel eyes. She was crouching low near the bushes, making her pelt blend into the forest. "Hey!" Blazepaw called and crept forward, "Who're you?"
The she-cat didn't take her eyes off of the fight.
"I asked who you were," Blazepaw meowed, obviously impatient as he stepped infront of her.
Not realizing he was there the she-cat hissed and leapt back.
Blazepaw took a step back, "I'm not here to hurt you. Who're you?"
"M-Mallowpaw," She managed to stutter out. Her gaze going back to the fight.

Suddenly there was a final blow and a last yelp as the fox burst through the brambles and ran off. Thunderstrike, Nightwing, Blackice, and Silverfang were panting as the cats thanked them.
"What're you doing on EmberClan territory?" Thunderstrike asked. His voice had a slight demand to it.
"That fox... attacked her..." The tom panted and turned his amber eyes on Mallowpaw. "We heard and ran to help. I'm Owlsight. This is my sister Songstream. We don't know who she is. Just thought we should help."
"That was very brave of you two," Silverfang noted.
"Thanks," Owlsight meowed.

Just than a rusty colored she-cat emerged from the ferns. "I heard yelping and yowls," she said. "I though their might be trouble."
"There was," Songstream meowed. "A fox, we drove it off with the help of these Clan cats."
"Clan cats?" The she-cat asked with interest.
"Yes," Blackice meowed, "Why?"
"I was looking for a Clan. I'd like to join."
"Me too," Mallowpaw spoke up as her and Blazepaw walked over.
"Perfect," Thunderstrike meowed.
"You're looking for more joiners?" Owlsight asked. "If you want, we'd like to join as well."
Blazepaw watched the cats, his amber-green gaze lighting up with excitment. His first patrol and it was a success!
"Let's get back to camp and report this to Tanglestar," Thunderstrike meowed and waited for the other cats to follow.

(Continue roleplaying! :D)

The Healing Touch

Silverfang's mind flashed to memories of the past. Being a rouge wasn't hard but it wasn't easy either. Unlike a Clan, you didn't have to feed anyone else but yourself. But when you grew old, no one was there to take care of your aching joints or tics. You had to deal with it. Yes. A Clan was much better. It provided safety and a home.

The gray tabby was waiting patiently for her apprentice at the camp entrance when she heard Blackpaw meowed, "Race you there!" Swiftpaw didn't have a chance to reply as Adderstrike came sprinting over almost colliding with her as she stepped by and meowed calmly, "Watch where your going." Toms. Does everything have to be a compition?

Soon Blackpaw and Swiftpaw ran over, Swiftpaw in a slight lead as he skidded to a halt at Silverfang's paws. "I win!" The black and white tom meowed.
"No! I did!" Blackpaw intervined. "You were behind me!"
"No," Swiftpaw countered.
But before the toms could get into an argument Adderstrike poked his head through the thorn barrier, he was panting, trying to catch his breath. "You coming?" The brown tabby asked.

"Yeah!" Swiftpaw meowed and raced out of the camp, closely followed by Blackpaw. Silverfang sprang after the toms.
Deeper they walked into the forest. Adderstrike in the lead, followed by Swiftpaw and Blackpaw, and Silverfang taking the back. She didn't know the territory as well as Adderstrike, therefore she let the immature tom lead.

Adderstrike suddenly stopped and scented the air, causing Swiftpaw running into him. "Oof! Watch where your going, Adderstrike!" The black and white tom complained.
"Sssh!" Adderstrike hissed, and covered Swiftpaw's mouth with his tail. "Cats."
Silverfang also scented the air. She could smell three different scents. Though it seemed one of them was going in a different direction. "Maybe it's a loner or kittypet just passing through." She suggested.
"Not on my territory!" Adderstrike hissed and crept forward. He flattened to the ground just enough that his belly fur barely brushed the forest floor.
Swiftpaw and Blackpaw crept up behind him, while Silverfang lingered at the back.
The brown tabby peered through the ferns, his brilliant green eyes narrowed into slits as he spotted a tom and a young she-cat walking towards the EmberClan camp.

Silverfang, seeing that the toms were occupied went to investigate the third scent.
She padded forward until the scent was strong. It was a tom. He didn't have any fear scent or anger and by the noise he was making it didn't seem as if he were trying to hide.
Silverfang stepped out from her hiding place and confronted the tom. His eyes widened, not with fear but with surprise. "EmberClan cat, right?" The brown tabby meowed.
"Yes. You are?" Silverfang challenged lightly.
"Brokenfeather. I'd like to talk to your leader-" Whatever he was going to say was cut short as Silverfang heard a screech and hissing.
"Come on, follow me!" She meowed and spun around, she didn't wait for the tom to reply.

"Get him, Adderstrike!" Swiftpaw encouraged as Silverfang burst through the bracken. She saw Adderstrike and the other tom struggling in a fight. Swiftpaw and Blackpaw were lashing out at the small she-cat. "Leave them be!" She shoved aside Swiftpaw who snarled in defiance.
Adderstrike broke away from the tom as Brokenfeather limped into the clearing. "What's going on?" He asked.
"Who's he?" Adderstrike hissed.
"A medicine cat." Brokenfeather awnered calmly, not afraid of the tom.
"And who are you?" Silverfang asked the tom and she-cat.
"Blackice, and this is my younger sister, Smallpaw. You won't hurt her will you?" He shot a glance at Adderstrike.
"Of course not," Silverfang meowed. "Let's try to get to camp without any arguments," and before anyone could say anything she turned around and guided the cats back to camp.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When all seven cats reached the camp, Tanglestar was in camp sharing tounges with Thunderstrike and Nightwing. Blazepaw and Sweetpaw were playing with Sleetkit and Mistykit while Snowfall rested in the sun.
Her eyes flitted open as she called her kits over and hustled them into the nursery when she spotted Blackice and the new cats. Blazepaw and Sweetpaw's ears perked and the padded forward but were stopped by Thunderstrike.
"Who have we here?" Tanglestar asked as he got up and went to greet the cats.
"Blackice, and his younger sister Smallpaw," Silverfang awnsered before Adderstrike. "And Brokenfeather, who's trained in the ways of a medicine cat."
Tanglestar's eyes lit up. "Interesting." He than noticed the scratches on Smallpaw, Blackice, and Adderstrike. "What happend?" He demanded.
"This mouse-brain attacked us," Blackice meowed. "And these two apprentices ganged up on Smallpaw."
"Is this true?" Tanglestar's eyes blazed as Adderstrike reluctantly nodded. "Are you wanting to join EmberClan? Though I wouldn't blame you if you wouldn't anymore." Tanglestar added.
"Yes," Brokenfeather and Blackice meowed together.
"As soon as I am finished the ceremony I want you three to see Brokenfeather in the medicine cat's den. We didn't need anymore scratches after the fox attack but you proved this wrong.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tanglestar leaped onto the emberstone. "Let all cat's old enough to catch their own prey join beneath the emberstone for a clan meeting!" He yowled.
Snowfall poked her head out of the nursery as Sleetkit and Mistykit stumbled out, sitting near the entrance.
"I am honored to say that Brokenfeather will become EmberClan's first medicine cat. I put my trust in him as well as the trust of the rest of the clan."
"Also, I'd like to announce the arrival of Blackice, who'd ask to become my senior warrior. Knowing that I don't have a deputy I'd love to have him around. His younger sister, Smallpaw will remain as an apprentice, I'd like Thunderstrike to mentor her. Crescentpaw, since you don't yet have a mentor I want Blackice to mentor you. Blackice, Adderstrike, Smallpaw, go see Brokenfeather and ask him to treat your scratches. I don't want anymore fighting within the Clan.

That is all, Clan dismissed."

The Beginning

Tanglestar was talking quietly with his brother. Fairly recently the newly made EmberClan had suffered a tragic fate. A group of rouge foxes had trampled into their camp and caught the cats of EmberClan off guard. Fighting for their lives as well as their new home, the cats of the Clan fought hard and fierce. In the process of driving the foxes away Goldentail, a ginger tabby she-cat had joined StarClan.

But there is always a light at the end of the tunnel, no matter how dark and hopeless it seems. In the middle of the battle, two cats must of heard the racket of screeches of rage and fury because the two cats came to help EmberClan. With the help of the new cats they were able to drive the remaining foxes off.

"Thank you," Tanglestar had meowed, eternely gratefully for the help of the she-cat and young tom. "Would you like to join us?"
Nodding, the she-cat had accepted the offer, as well as the black tom.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The light, sandy brown tabby leaped onto the emberstone. A bright ember that shown bright whenever the sun let it's light shine down.
"Let all cat's old enough to catch their own prey join beneath the emberstone for a Clan meeting," Tanglestar began. "Today, we suffered a great loss with Goldentail, but we also have endured a lot while we were beginning our new clan. Cats of EmberClan, I welcome Silverfang as a warrior for EmberClan. Please welcome her," He waited patiently as his clanmates, though tired and sore, called out the she-cats name. Tanglestar than turned his piercing amber gaze to Blackpaw.

"By naming apprentices it shows EmberClan is strong and will remain strong for future generations. Blackpaw, your name will remain the same until you recieve your warrior name. Adderstrike, I trust you and I hope that having an apprentice will help you mature," there was a quiet ripple of laughs that passed through the clan as Adderstrike stuck his tounge out at his brother and went to stand beside Blackpaw. "Swiftpaw, you've not yet have a mentor, Silverfang will be your mentor.

That is all, Clan dismissed."

This is the Warrior's Den. It's big enough to hold all the warriors, and is always warm.

Apprentice's Den

This is the Apprentice's Den. It's not as big as the nursery, but it's large enough to hold all the apprentices after a long day of training.

Nursery
