Warriors RPG

[TyrannoTitan]

"Impressive! Especially considering the extinction of Riverclan...I had thought the art of catching fish was lost with them." a voice growled from the undergrowth, a pair of amber eyes appearing in a nearby bush. "But to go so far from home? These are dangerous times...it would be such a pity if the son of the great Shadowsoul was attacked by rogues! We all know how ruthless they can be." the voice continued, the eyes showing a gleam of sick amusement...

[The Kingpin]

Nightclaw was itching to see the events with Hawkclaw, but his own drive to match her catch had him frozen in his palce, eyes locked on the water as if he was going to tackle the stream itself instead of the fish in it. a flash of silver caught his eye and he swiped, claws ripping into a fish as he knocked it sideways, the tom striking again as it flopped onto the bank, Nightclaw leaping forward and pinning it, using his weight to hold it down as he delivered a killing bite, though he had trouble closing his jaws around it from it's width. he then eyed Hawkclaw, eyes wide. what he had just caught was large. bigger than his last. but it still fell somewhat short of Hawkclaw's catch...provided she actually caught it...

[Hopeflower]

Finally managing to snap the fish's spine, Hawkclaw opened her jaws and let the fish fall beside her first. Her breathing was a bit ragged, but her eyes glittered with pride. "These will keep a few cats fed," she meowed.

[The Kingpin]

Nightclaw was silent, ears trained on the hissing. a rogue. the tom snarled lowly, though his father's warning seemed to echo in his mind. he glanced at Hawkclaw, then towards the undergrowth, wary...

[Hopeflower]

Hawkclaw, noting Nightclaw's behavior, opened her jaws slightly to try and catch a scent other than their own and the fish. She pricked her ears, listening hard.

[TyrannoTitan]

"So eager to continue your activity...don't mind me, I'm just talking to myself here." the voice growled mockingly, sighing. "In my day, cats actually listened to threats." it continued, a gray form emerging from the bush, shaking loose leaves from his fur. The scarred ex-deputy stared forward with an unsettling look, glancing between each cat, and then to the fish. "I see the spawn of Snowstar is here as well! My day gets better and better!" Firestreak growled, laughing, which sounded somewhat like a cackle...

[Hopeflower]

Hawkclaw's eyes widened a bit. What in StarClan's name... "...Firestreak?" she mewed softly, not sure what to think.

[The Kingpin]

"Well excuse us for being distracted getting food for the clan" hissed Nightclaw. perking his ears up at Hawkclaw's mention of a name, he listened in...she knew this rogue?...

[TyrannoTitan]

"Refreshing to hear I have not been forgotten. Though with my colorful history, its not exactly easy to forget!" Firestreak growled, once again laughing rather loudly. "Question is, young blood, what do you value more? Your life or your clan?" he growled to Nightclaw, a sly grin appearing on his scarred face...

[Hopeflower]

Hawkclaw's surprised expression turned faintly angry. "What do you want?" she meowed, narrowing her eyes slightly. She kept her claws sheathed, much as her instincts were urging her to show them to the former deputy.

[The Kingpin]

"on an impersonal level, it's one life, or several. I'd say several lives are worth more" growled Nightclaw. "But why ask when you know the answer...being a former Warrior you should know..."

[TyrannoTitan]

"The ideals of the clan are not as they once were." Firestreak growled, sitting down calmly. "What I want, my dear, is a drink. Is that so wrong? Unless of course your beloved clan took the stream, too. And maybe the lake as well?" he growled mockingly, still smirking.

[Hopeflower]

Hawkclaw took a deep breath and let it out in a sigh. "You came here seemingly making threats," she meowed. "What am I meant to think?"

[The Kingpin]

"Water is neutral ground.....though this side of the stream IS Stormclan's....this is basically the border" meowed Nightclaw, for now playing the neutrality game...though he wouldn't hesitate to defend himself if the rogue proved hostile. Nightclaw knew the Dawn Patrol had been sent out not long after them, and, depending on which direction they went, it may not be long before they had some support to back them up if this cat turned out not to be alone...not to mention his father was probably out on his morning walk....with a bit of luck, he'd be right behind them...

[TyrannoTitan]

"Threats? There were no threats. You just decided to make false assumptions about an old veteran like myself. You should be ashamed." Firestreak growled, still smirking. He waved a paw dismissively at Nightclaw. "You were right in your first statement. The stream is for everyone, Stormclan has no right to claim ownership."

[The Kingpin]

"I never said it did" mewed Nightclaw in response. "I just said the ground on this side of it was Stormclan territory" he added...

[Hopeflower]

Hawkclaw resisted the urge to snap at Firestreak, respect for him deeply engraved given he'd once been her Clan's deputy. She shook her head slowly. This wasn't the cat she remembered.

[TyrannoTitan]

"Semantics, young blood." Firestreak growled in response, standing, as he moved toward the stream. The scarred tom drank silently from the clear waters, as if he completely forgot about the two cats...

[Hopeflower]

Wordlessly, Hawkclaw bent to pick up her catch, not wanting to risk a fight with her former Clanmate. He may be different, but he was still deputy of ThunderClan, she thought. I don't want to argue with him - or have to fight him. She was torn. Firestreak was a loner now - he was trespassing. But she couldn't bring herself to challenge him.

[The Kingpin]

"Well well well...i was told you'd visited, Firestreak, but i hadn't expected you to stay around...or come back" growled a much deeper voice in the branches of the tree overhanging Nightclaw and Hawkclaw. he had been watching for several moments, but hadn't spoken till now...hoping to see how Hawkclaw and Nightclaw dealt with the former deputy...
