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 :) )
