Two New Cats

Leafstar padded to the top of High Branch her eyes wary and tired from the endless hunting and battle training she had been doing, and she was horrified with the mentors because they hadn't even been taking their apprentices out for battle training or hunting. On top of that Windsflash an d Blossomfall had disappeared., rumors about it were flying around the camp and spreading like wild fire. It ranged from that they had been captured by DriftingClan to lead them to the MoonGlade to that they had secretly become mates, and that since they were afraid that they could be found out they ran away before Blossomfall kitted. The second was outrageous. One because Leafstar had never seen them giving each other even a second glance and also because they had no reason to hide being mates unless there was a jealous sister or brother involved...She trailed off in her thoughts before she realized why she had gone up there. 

"All cats old enough to catch their own prey join for a clan meeting beneath High Branch!" She called loudly and the clan gathered. "First we have two new cats, please welcome Featherpaw and Cederkit." She smiled at the two newest cats. 

"Featherpaw's mentor will be Larkfeather." She flicked her tail to the newly named warrior. 

"Next, Windsflash and Blossomfall are still missing!" The clan muttered the rumors that they believed. "Regardless of weather or not you think they want to be found or not we need to be on the look out for them!" She called and the cats all nodded to her.  

"Next I want Honeyblaze to organize some patrols, two hunting and two border. Any mentor who isn't called for one take your apprentice out for battle training, if you are called bring your apprentice with you. That is all! Clan dismissed!" She leaped down and her clan started to do what needed to be done. 

Kits To Apprentices To Warriors

Leafstar leaped gracefully branch to branch as her long legs pushed off from one to another. Her claws made little sound on the soft bark of the oak tree. Her bright green gaze swept around the clearing. She smiled down at her clan happily, even though they were sluggish at best and never really did anything other than eat and sit alone. But it was time of many of the apprentices to become warriors and many of the kits to become apprentices.  


"All cats old enough to catch their own prey join for a clan meeting beneath High Branch!" She called loudly her eyes happy and bright. "First off we have to make ten apprentices warriors and then thirteen kits to apprentices!" She spoke loudly and the clan blinked up at her. 


"First off will Acornpaw, Peakpaw, Fierypaw, Blossompaw, Larkpaw, Willowpaw, Burstpaw, Mudpaw, Petalpaw, and Cricketpaw please step forward?" The announced cats did as they were told. "You have all trained for ForestClan and have shown that you have mastered your abilities." All of the apprentices seemed to glow with happiness. "Acornpaw, do you promise to do your duty as a warrior of ForestClan? And do you promise to fight and live for your clan, even at the cost of your life?" 


"I do." The brown and white tabby nodded happily. 


"Than from this moment on you shall be known as Acornfall. StarClan honors your kindness." She licked the new warriors head and Acornfall stepped back.


"Peakpaw, do you promise to do your duty as a warrior of ForestClan? And do you promise to fight and live for your clan, even at the cost of your life?" The black and white tom stepped forward now. 


"I do." He nodded.


"Than from this moment on you shall be known as Peakfreeze. StarClan honors your charm and strength." The new black and white warrior stepped back nodding. 


"Fierypaw, do you promise to do your duty as a warrior of ForestClan? And do you promise to fight and live for your clan, even at the cost of your life?" The ginger and white tom stepped forward.


"I do." He nodded.


"Than from this moment on you shall be known as Fieryspirit. StarClan honors your battle skills and welcomes you as a full warrior of ForestClan." The new white and ginger tabby warrior stepped back.


"Blossompaw, do you promise to do your duty as a warrior of ForestClan? And do you promise to fight and live for your clan, even at the cost of your life?" Now the calico she-cat stepped forward. 


"I do." She said a bit quietly. "But Viperpaw should be-" She broke off with angry stares. 


"You shall be known as Blossomfall. StarClan honors your sweetness and welcomes you as a full warrior of ForestClan." Blossomfall stepped back beside her littermates quickly. 


"Larkpaw, do you promise to do your duty as a warrior of ForestClan? And do you promise to fight and live for your clan, even at the cost of your life?" 
"I do." He nodded.

"Than you shall be known as Larkfeather." She smiled.

"Willowpaw, do you promise to do your duty as a warrior of ForestClan? And do you promise to fight and live for your clan, even at the cost of your life?" 


"I do." She said, the same as her brother. 


"Than you shall be known as Willowmoon." She purred. 


"Burstpaw, do you promise to do your duty as a warrior of ForestClan? And do you promise to fight and live for your clan, even at the cost of your life?" 


"I do." 


"Than you shall be known as Burstwave." She smiled down at the ginger tabby she-cat


"Mudpaw, do you promise to do your duty as a warrior of ForestClan? And do you promise to fight and live for your clan, even at the cost of your life?" 


"I do." the brown tabby tom meowed. He was very muscular and handsome now. His shoulders were wide, any she-cat could see that he would make a great warrior and a fine father. 


"You shall be known as Mudslide." She smiled and flicked her tail. 


"Petalpaw, do you promise to do your duty as a warrior of ForestClan? And do you promise to fight and live for your clan, even at the cost of your life?" The ginger tabby she-cat stepped forward. 


"I do." 


"Than you shall be known as Petalfall." She smiled a the new warrior. 


"Next we have thirteen kits that are ready to be made apprentices." She looked at all the kits. "Nightkit, you shall be known as Nightpaw. Your mentor will be Wolfstorm." The two touched noses. "Songkit, you shall be known as Songpaw, I will be your mentor. Sleetkit, you shall be known as Sleetpaw, your mentor will be Shadowfrost. Flutterkit you shall be known as Flutterpaw, your mentor will be Badgerfrost." All the cats touched noses. "Brook-kit, you shall be known as Brookpaw, your mentor will be Mudslide." Leafstar received a look of anger from Mudslide. "Stalk-kit, you shall be known as Stalkpaw, your mentor will be Flashfire. Silverkit, you shall be Silverpaw, your mentor will be Ashflick. Speckledkit, you shall be known as Speckledpaw, your mentor will be Swiftrain." Leafstar stopped for a moment to take a breath. "Brokenkit, you shall be known as Brokenpaw, your mentor will be Skyzap. Hollykit, you shall be known as Hollypaw, your mentor will be Moonblossom. Shatteredkit, you shall be known as Shatteredpaw, your mentor will be Trembleglade. Necturekit, you shall be known as Necturepaw, your mentor will be Blizzardsight. Pinekit, you shall be known as Pinepaw, your mentor is Larkfeather." She stopped and the clan cheered for a moment. "We also have Applepaw and Slatepaw joining us today. Applepaw's mentor will be Hiddenmist and Slatepaw's mentor will be Lionsound." She flicked her tail.


"I want Honeyblaze to organize patrols. That is all! Clan dismissed!" She yowled and leaped down from her perch. 


(If anyone wants their cat to be deleted/killed please comment on this post that you want them to be killed. It will contribute to the plot. Also if you do not comment on this post then your cat will be deleted.)
(Also I am sick of mentors not caring about their apprentices, if you do not train your apprentice than your cat will be deleted, I do not care if that cat is active, it is their duty and they must do it.)
(Finally I need warrior pictures for every cat that was made a warrior in this post.) 

New Clan (2)

Applesplash padded out of the DriftingClan leaders den. Her tail flicking. Her eyes looked on the cats with a new kind of respect, they were travelers. They moved with the seasons and the prey. They were going to be staying in the dense forest until the end of New-Leaf and then they would be moving on again, to the open fields of flowers that is south of the ForestClan camp, it is many sunrises away, and will take a a long time. How they travel so often and go to so many different kinds of territories amazed her, and respect grew in her for them.

"Foxclaw, Trembleglade, and Swiftrain!" She called her patrol who came hurrying over. "Time to go, I will explain everything back in camp." She smiled and darted out of camp with her patrol following her, right on her heels. It was no longer raining but the ground was soaked and her paws made a slushing  noise when ever they went down. But her attentions were on getting back to camp to tell everyone about what she had found.

As they padded into camp everyone rushed to greet them. Their eyes bright with happiness as they waited for the news. But Applesplash padded to the leaders den to speak with Leafstar before she would share her news. She needed to talk to her leader anyways. It wouldn't even take long.

"Leafstar?" She asked lightly as she stood outside the den. Her ears pricked.

"Come in!" Leafstar's voice chimed and Applesplash padded in. Leafstar looked great, her pelt shone, her eyes were bright, and there was no sign of stress in the way the leader held herself and looked.

"I met with the new clan, they are called DriftingClan." She spoke calmly. Her eyes danced.

"Well go onto High Branch and tell the clan!" She spoke happily and Applesplash nodded, padding out of the den.

She strode up to High Branch, her eyes bright and her ears pricked. She couldn't wait to share her news. The clan gathered without having to be called, everyone looked exited for the news. "Cats of ForestClan! We have a new neighbor!" She called once everyone had quited. She was met with some angry hisses and some cheers. "They are called DriftingClan, and their leader is Stagstar!" She called out and everyone turned back to her.

"What kind of name is Stagstar?!" Foxrust snapped from the crowd.

"It is the term for a male deer, I heard." She smiled. "And it fits him." She laughed lightly, she had thought the same thing, stag was a strange name.

"Fancy-shmacy names..." Foxrust continued to grumble but slowly faded out.

"DriftingClan is a good clan that we should consider to be our allies." She continued.

"What kind of name is DriftingClan?!" This time Applesplash couldn't see who had shouted but she didn't really mind.

"I am getting to that." She smiled back, her patience was wearing. "DriftingClan is a clan of drifters. They don't stay in the same territory all the time like we do, they move with the seasons and the prey, they are always fed and have seen things that we can only dream of!" She smiled and the clan looked shocked. This was something that was completely unheard of.

"So it's a bunch of rouges who call themselves warriors?" Dizzysong laughed from the crowd and so did everyone else. Their eyes were filled with pleasure. "And here I thought that they could be a threat!" Dizzysong laughed again and everyone was still joining in.

"They are more disciplined than you Dizzysong!" Applesplash snapped at the sleek warrior. They weren't taking this seriously. "They are a good clan that will now be sharing our border." She flicked her tail and her patience was gone. "That is all! Clan dismissed!" She yowled and leaped down a bit peeved.

New Clan

(I have to role play Foxclaw, Swiftrain and Trembleglade for this post, sorry guys.And btw, Stagstar has sort of a British accent, that is why he says 'love' and 'darling' when he talks to others sometimes, and it's part of his charm)

Applesplash ran through the forest. Foxclaw, Swiftrain, and Trembleglade were running beside her, sprinting to the border. Rain pelted from the sky, they were drenched through and through. Her paws beat on the ground, her normally glowing ginger fur was plastered to her sides and was a dark orange-red color, like blood. Her green eyes scanned the forest with every step and breath they took. She could see Trembleglade's anxiety in her eyes. She could see Foxclaw's long claws flicked out, they shimmer with the water, he had a fierce look in his eyes. And finally Swiftrain, his face was unreadable but she was sure that underneath he was just as freaked as everyone else. This new clan could be dangerous, or deadly, without having a second thought about killing them.

"We are at the border!" She howled back, her voice being carried by the wind. But they heard her so she went on. "We are going right to their camp, and slowing, we will be of absolute no threat!" She reminded and kept running, the others fast on her heels. Their eyes gleamed. Te scent of the ocean washed over her, which took her very off guard, they were sunrises away from the ocean, but it wasn't just ocean she smelled. She smelled the wild flowers that only grew on open plains, she smelled the salty sea breeze, she smelled the scent of deep pine forest, and she also smelled the dry and parched and of the desert. It was one of the best things she had ever smelled, it was so enticing that she closed to her eyes and savored it. But it grew stronger and stronger until it was the only thing she could smell, and she realized that they were right outside the new camp that the other clan must have made. She stopped for a moment. Her eyes wide. And she stepped in with her patrol.

"Who are you?" A large tom stepped in front of them and growled, but his eyes softened once they hit Applesplash and his mouth opened to form an O. His eyes glittering. She tilted her head, both to make herself look less threatening and also because this tom looked familiar. She just couldn't place it though.

"I'm a warrior, of ForestClan. We came to investigate what the new strange and alluring scent was that was on our border." She stated, the three warriors she had brought with her bristled at her side, but she flicked her tail for them to relax.

"Alluring, eh?" A slim and well muscled tom cat with ocean-blue eyes strode confidently out of a den. His eyes were flecked and amazing. She smiled at him, he was one of the only toms she had ever looked at with some interest.

"Yes." She said confidently. Her eyes glittered and she used her most innocent and beautiful look. She flashed her perfect smile and flicked her tail, hoping that her looks would get her the answers she wanted.

"You looks ain't going to work on me, love." He flashed a perfect smile of his own and from the corner of her eye Applesplash could see Trembleglade almost purr, but Applesplash held her now stone face. The way he pronounced love was strange, the way he said it came out as 'lave'.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" She asked boldly. Her eyes were now like emeralds, cold and unfeeling.

"Well, love, I believe that this 'ere is my camp, see?" He looked around his a smile. "And I am the leader." He smiled. His eyes flashed at her with challenge.

"That doesn't answer my question flea-pelt." She snapped finally, the calmness and aura of this tom pricked her skin.

"Stagstar, at your service." He chuckled. "And 'ho are you, love?" He smiled.His who sounded like an oo, but she understood perfectly what he meant, they seemed like they were from far away, the accents that they had.

"Strange name. I'm Applesplash." She flicked her ears, the toms charms were certainly wearing on her. She felt Foxclaw and Swiftrain bristle, the obviously didn't like him as much as her and Trembleglade did. She looked at both the toms for them to calm down.

"Lovely. Not very fitting though." He shook his head and made a tsk sound. " 'Re more of a Bloodsplash if you ask me" He flicked his ears in the rain.

"I'm wet, when I am dry its more of an apple-ginger-red." She clarified, and shook her pelt.

"Oo's your leader, then?" He asked his eyes flickered.

"Leafstar." She spoke softly. "She wants to know about you." She admitted.

"Follow me then, love." He turned and padded to his den, Applesplash following, her patrol having to stay behind.

(TO BE CONTINUED)

Life Goes On

Leafstar padded out of her den. It had been a moon since Viperpaw had been banished. And now everyone thing seemed so happy. The kits played, the apprentices trained, and the mates all sat purring at each other. And yet again, there was time for news, there was an apprentice ceremony that was due. She looked at her mate and then leaped up to high branch.

"All cats old enough to catch their own prey join for a clan meeting beneath high branch!" She called loudly and the clan assembled as they were called. Their eyes glittering up at their leader, soundlessly they sat. Leafstar looked at the apprentices. "First! It has come to my attention that the apprentices need mentors! Acornpaw your mentor will be Jaychaser." Jaychaser stepped forward and touched noses with his new apprentice and they both smiled. "Peakpaw, your mentor will be Wolfstorm." She spoke a bit hesitantly. She knew that Wolfstorm may not want to teach the tom, but she wanted someone she trusted to keep an eye on him. The two toms stepped forward and awkwardly touched noses. "Blossompaw your mentor will be Applesplash." Much unlike Wolfstorm and his new apprentice, the two she-cats touched noses happily and Applesplash purred. "Fierypaw your mentor will be Blizzardsight." She smiled down at the white tom, he was blind but capable. The two touched noses and smiled. "Larkpaw your mentor will be Snowcrumble." Then the two touched noses, like all before them. "Willowpaw your mentor will be Flashfire. Burstpaw your mentor will be Trembleglade." Trembleglade stepped forward and smiled happily. "Mudpaw your mentor will be Shadowflame." The newest addition to ForestClan stepped forward a bit surprised but still touched noses will his new apprentice. "And finally Petalpaw your mentor will be Foxclaw." She nodded to the brown tabby tom and they touched noses. The clan cheered happily.

"Next, it is time for Cricketkit to become an apprentice!" She called. "By naming apprentices we show that ForestClan is growing and will remain strong!" She smiled at her large clan. They were one of the biggest in the forest.

"Cricketkit please step forward." The small creamy ginger tabby she-cat did as she was asked and stood before Leafstar, she purred out her chest as well to try and look bigger, but it didn't work. "Do you promise to train as an apprentice of ForestClan and follow the warrior code?" She asked the tiny she-cat.

"I do." She nodded, her voice coming out a bit soft but the clan still hear her.

"Then from this moment on, until you earn your warrior name, you will be known as Cricketpaw!" She purred and blinked at the little she-cat. There was no way that a kitten like this could be Nightstar's daughter...But then again they all knew that she was. "I will be your mentor." She touched noses with Cricketkit and smiled.

"Next-" Leafstar was cut off by Dizzysong who burst into camp. "Leafstar, there is a new scent on the border! It's nothing I have ever scented before! But it smells like a marked border." The she-cat shook her head, her sleek tabby fur was clean against her lean frame. Dizzysong wasn't muscualr but had wiry muscles that gave her agility and stability.

"Then we will send a patrol." She smiled. "If it is a new clan, they will be no threat to us, will they?" She spoke calmly and her clan seemed soothed. "I will send Applesplash, Trembleglade, Foxclaw, and Swiftrain." She smiled happily. Applesplash's beauty would certainly sooth tensions. "You may bring your apprentices if you like, as long as they don't cause any trouble." She purred.

"That is all! Clan dismissed!" The clan disassembled and Leafstar padded down to the clearing, as she purred happily. They may just get a new ally out of this.

----------------------Mean While-------------------------------

Viperpaw sat in the forest her ears pricked for the slightest sound. She decided that she would change her name, she is Viper now. She is no clan cat, so she will not have a clan name. She stood now. she should get off their territory. She didn't belong here. She padded off, her pelt waving softly with the New-Leaf breeze that had just barley rolled in. Her light golden eyes flickered as she looked around. She had been out here a moon and she still hadn't found a place to live, figures. But now she would leave the territory, and maybe there would be something for her a long way away.

Viper looked around, her eyes stopped on a fallen log. It had a large opening and looked like it was big enough for a den. She ran over happily before a scent hit her and she stopped. It was a hard scent to describe. It was like the scent that you got when it was Leaf-Bare, the dry and frozen scent that you couldn't describe. But here it was, emanating from this log! She dropped her head and sniffed again hesitantly. She started padding forward. She was right next to the log when a snarl ripped the otherwise silent air. A fierce looking tom burst from the den, his odd purple eyes were glowing with intensity. He looked furious.

"Get away from my den! Stupid clan cat!" He howled at her and jumped on her. He pinned her easily, he was big! His sharp teeth were glowing clearly.

"I'm not a clan cat!" She chocked out. Her eyes wide. She had to lie, otherwise he would kill her. "M-m-my name is Viper, they took me from my mom and made me live with them. But I escaped!" She chocked on his paw, which was on her throat, cutting of her air.

The tom relaxed and let her up. "I'm sorry. Are you okay?" He asked, the anger had left his eyes. Viper could only nodded breathing heavily. "My name is Freeze, nice to meet you." The tom smiled. His purple eyes flashed.

"Yes. I must get going I need to find a home." She admitted and stood, shaking snow and derby from her pelt.

"You can stay with me!" Freeze smiled again. "I am really lonely." He flicked his ears. He looked just a bit older then Viper, he would have been a warrior back in the clan. And no doubt he would have a mate, he was very charming when he wasn't trying to kill you.

"S-sure." She smiled. "But you sleep on one side and I sleep on the other." She stated. She didn't want him thinking that she wanted to mate with him. And he just nodded.

"Then you can get yourself settled, I am going to hunt." He smiled and padded off. Leaving Viper sitting there wondering what had just happened.

Exile

Viperpaw watched at Leafstar leaped up onto the high branch the clan watching her every move. Their eyes unwavering and cold, much as they had looked when they first learned of Berrysuns death.

"All cats old enough to catch their own prey join for a clan meeting beneath high branch!" She yowled loudly and full of authority. All eyes were on Leafstar now, and Wolfstorm's were lit with love. Tension cracked in the air as Leafstar waited to speak, some cats shot hateful glances at her, while others refused to even look at Viperpaw.

"First I am going to announce our great news!" She purred and her eyes rested on Wolfstorm. "Me and Wolfstorm are now mates!" The clan stood frozen in shock, no one cheered or even said their congrats, mostly because Leafstar had always been distant with the clan that it was hard to believe that she had found love. Leafstar stood uncomfortably, all eyes on her and Wolfstorm. "Also Shadowfrost and Acornwing are now mates." The clan cheered happily for the tow and Viperpaw could see Leafstars anger.

"And next Viperpaw has admitted to killing Berrysun." Leafstar flinched anther own words as if she hated to admit what she was saying. "She is going into exile and shall never be allowed to set foot in our territory EVER again." The clan hissed and growled, probably thinking that Vipepaw deserved worse than this punishment.

"Will have Applesplash, Goldenfurze, And Wolfstorm escort her to the border and leave her there.That is all! Clan dismissed!" She yowled and leaped down, her eyes deeply troubled.
