Warriors RPG

[Hopeflower]

Heatherpelt stepped back, a worried look on her face. "Back up," she meowed to the curious cats. "Give him room. Don't crowd him. We don't want him panicking."

[C S]

The cat finished the vole, leaving a skeleton tinted red with small bits of meat and blood. It's body was pasted to the ground, eyes staring up at the strange cats that surrounded him..from what he knew, he was in some sort of clan... which was bad... his past experiances with them being less than good...

[Hopeflower]

Robinflight watched the scene with narrowed eyes, wondering if he or Coldeyes should try to get the cats to leave the newcomer alone. He approached Snowstar's deputy and murmured, "Should we get the cats away from him, so he doesn't panic and hurt himself or someone else?"

[C S]

"Ill take care of it" Coldeyes mewed, gesturing to the four patrol cats to back away with a flick of his paw. "Give the tom some breathing space! We found him barely concious by a tree! He's got a lot to take in right about now!"

[Hopeflower]

Heatherpelt breathed a sigh of relief and backed away further. She sat down beside Lightstorm and Hawkclaw, and started washing her chest fur.

Robinflight nodded to Coldeyes, thankful for his intervention. He sat down and flexed his shoulders, keeping an eye on the stranger.

[C S]

The cat stared back at the others. He got up and started walking back.. if they werent hostile..they'd let him go, right?

[Hopeflower]

Robinflight cocked his head curiously. Just how far did this half-starved cat think he was going to get? Judging by the state he'd been in a few minutes ago, the deputy would guess...not very far at all. He felt someone nudge him and turned to see Poppytail staring at him, her amber eyes dark with concern. Robinflight sighed softly. "We can't make him stay if he doesn't want to," he mewed quietly.

[C S]

When the forked tail cat got enough space between him and the group for his liking, he mewed "Thank you..for the vole.. but I cant impose- nor depend- on strangers-"
"Not even if you were on the verge of death?" Snowstar mewed, making his way to the front of the crowd. "One vole couldnt possibly satasfy you..your as thin as a twig!"
The brown pelt cat's gaze fell to the ground... it was true, he was still hungry, but with his experiances with the strange clans in the aftermath of the wolves, he couldnt see himself trusting this one, even if they didnt descriminate by pelt color. He was so young when it happened and he didnt have anyone to explain who was friend and who was foe. That happened upon the destruction of Riverclan

Snowstar eyed the young cat. He was confused, scared and alone... like he once was so long ago. He mewed "I would be wise to stay here for a few days... atleast until your fit to go off on your own again..."

The cat's eyes shot up to meet Snowstar's. It was clear this was not one of the old clans, and there was sincerity about the old tom's voice- that, or sympathy- but it didnt matter. He glanced at the faces of the other cats around him, each having a similar expression on their face. They were welcoming him? A tattered stranger?

"Tell me, whats your name?" Snowstar mewed.

The cat's eyes widened. His name from birth was Skitherkit..but he wasnt a kit now... but he wasnt an apprentice either... he was three months over due for his warrior training... on the spot, he mewed "Slithertail..." and showed his forked tail to the cats before him...

[Hopeflower]

Robinflight heard a stifled gasp of surprise from Poppytail, and felt his own eyes widen. He blinked, trying to control his expression, and studied the cat before him curiously. "A warrior name...?" he murmured. Then he flicked a glance at Cloudhaze. "Or just another coincidence?"

[C S]

Snowstar's ears pricked at scattered gasps and mews of suprise from the crowd and shook his head. "They've forgotten that I was once called Snowclaw it seems..." Snowstar thought. He then mewed to this Slithertail, "Welcome to Stormclan. Rest until you feel well enough to go on alone..." His gaze then turned to the other cats. "As for everyone else, get back to your duties!"

[Hopeflower]

Poppytail dipped her head, heading over to Vixentail and Emberspots. Robinflight clawed his way up a tree close to the camp entrance and stretched out on a branch to better be able to keep an eye on the whole camp. Lightstorm conversed quietly with Heathertail and Hawkclaw, none of them being assigned to any patrols or guard the camp entrance for the moment.

[C S]

With that, Snowstar mewed to the group of black pelted cats "You did a good thing brining a cat in need to the clan, but that patrol needs to be finished." The cats bowed their heads and started out of camp. Coldeyes mewed from behind "Shouldnt I go with them?"
"I would like you to handle any clan matters while Im gone, Coldeyes" Snowstar mewed.
"While your gone? You came back to the clan not too long ago!" Coldeyes mewed.
"I have some...family business to attend to..at the stream"
Coldeyes shook his head. "A thunderclan cat with the talents of a Riverclan cat and a tree climbing brother to rival a squirrel..." He mewed.
"Im sure you wont have much to worry about" Snowstar mewed as mewed loudly "Riverstone, Mudswirl, Hawkclaw!"

[Hopeflower]

Hawkclaw turned, her ears pricked in surprise. "Yes, father?" she mewed, not quiet sure what he wanted with them.

[C S]

Riverstone and Mudwswirl walked over to their father and sat by his side. Riverstone mewed "Yes, why did you call us?" Snowstar mewed "Im going to teach you three how to fish, like I taught your mother..." He looked to Lightstorm and mewed "Do you want to come too?

[Hopeflower]

Lightstorm cocked his head, thinking. After a moment he let out a purr. "Sure, why not. If I fall in it'll give you all something to laugh at." He got to his paws and flicked Hawkclaw's ear with his tail-tip. The dark brown and white tabby stood and followed her brother over to their father, her deep amber eyes curious.

[C S]

"Then lets go!" Snowstar mewed, walking out of the camp. Slithertail watched as the leader left. HE know how to fish!? He wasnt even a Riverclan cat! He looked down at the ground, sadness welling up inside him. He didnt even get to learn skills Riverclan cats always boasted about having...

[Hopeflower]

Hawkclaw, trailing a little behind, gave Slithertail a questioning look. Why was he so down? He wasn't going to starve and he had a warm place to sleep for a little while. She opened her mouth to ask what was wrong just as Lightstorm called to her. "You're going to be left behind, Hawkclaw!" the white tom meowed, waiting for her just beyond the camp entrance. With a last glance at Slithertail, Hawkclaw bounded forward to catch up with her family.

[The Kingpin]

"Hopefully, yes" growled Wraith. "Still....I heard what sounded like wolf howls last night....did any of you hear it?" he inquired as they crossed the Windclan border and into the area that had long been marked as Starclan's grounds, around the Moon Pool....he wondered what he'd find....especially considering the faint smell of blood...

[Hopeflower]

Demontalon shuddered involuntarily. "Who didn't?" she meowed. "They were loud enough to wake a sleeping mouse on the other side of the lake." Flamesight let out a low growl in agreement.

Swift was still watching Blazeheart. The dark ginger cat was still grieving. Swift couldn't find it in his heart to blame him. After all, he was still mourning Bloodspill's death.

[The Kingpin]

"Any idea where it ca-wait...anyone else smell that?" he growled. the smell had become stronger...whatever it was, it was close...
