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

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!)
