Clan Meeting (Important)

[ploegy]

Reefpelt jumped on to the high branch and meowed "All cats old enough to caught their own prey come here for a clan meeting." His voice boomed around the Shadowclan camp. Even though he was deputy he must tell the clan that their leader was gone. Reefpelt sat on the branch quitely. The tom watched the empty camp. Reefpelt had to also tell the clan that he must go to the gathering with only a few cats. He had to talk with the other leader's about him becoming a leader. Reefpelt flicked his tail and thought 'I should tell them about how we need a medicine cat soon.' The tom shook the thought away and blinked a few times and waited once again. Reefpelt meowed again "All cats old enough to caught their own prey come here for a clan meeting. He jumped down and looked to see if he saw any cats coming toward him. He flicked his tail once again and jumped back up on to the high branch. His eyes glowed with worry that none of the clan cats would show up. He was not like every other shadowclan cat. He was alot nicer and lots of them were mean. Reefpelt jumped down and padded a little ways toward the warrior's den and saw some warrior's sleeping. He turned away and walked back to the high branch and meowed loudly "All cats old enough to caught their own prey come here for a clan meeting." He said it for the last and final time.

The seductress, Nightfeather walked into the clearing with her liquid golden gaze moving about. The mezmorizingness of her eyes made cats stop and stare, there was just something about her. The aura that surrounded her was thick with darkness and qualities of the Night. The one thing that Nightfeather loved the most. Day bored her, everything was in view and it was too warm and emotional. Night on the other paw had a hint of danger dancing along it's borders. Night had nothing in view except for what the pale light of the full moon gave away. Night had no emotions and even the lightest, cool breeze could stop a cat in its place and send shivers up your spine.
The midnight black cat sat down gracefully and curled her long fluffy tail around her dainty paws. She waited for the deputy to make whatever announcement he wanted to make and then she would go look for Aquaeyes. She wanted to know what it was like for him when his good friend was apparently bearing his kits. It seemed like a story she wanted to hear.
Nightfeather sat and waited, the weather was making her restless. Leaf-bare always made her anxious anyways, it was Death's time to come and take the souls of many cats. She had an ugly encounter with Death in her lifetime. It wasn't pleasant.
Nightfeather turned her head to see a silhouette coming to the clearing. She waited for the unwanted light to reveal who it was.

[/i] she thought coldly to herself. But Reefpelt was a new deputy so he may not know any better. But to her, this tom has already gotten close to her other side, the bad one. She shouldn't be taking to much pressure into hating the new deputy anyways. Miragesoul turned to Nightfeather, 'Maybe we shouldn't have left the group.. I meen those cats aren't stupid...' her voice was filled with worry, and doubt but she was still confident that they dodged this battle.[/color]

His paws seemed to shake the earth as the pierced into it. His claws sheathed and unsheathed at every step, two of the she-cats had left during his presence. If they were smart they wouldn't have done that. Once the two were in sight, he noticed another, a tom. He ignored him, he wasn't what this golden tom was looking for. He let out a chill sending roar as his head shot into the air. He was thinking that these cats may have been good allies, but now these two may have changed his mind.

'And you two just left my tribe and I! My mate is pregnant and running low on energy, the cubs may die because of me!' his voice trailed off at the end, he may have let his mate down. Maybe this year wasn't the best to start a family.. The once angered tom was now dropping, soon coming into a sitting position. His head lay low, It is my fault...' he whispered.[/size][/ul]

"I didn't know your mate was carrying your kits," the black cat said with a tinge of regretfulness reflecting in her golden eyes.
"Here, we can help. There is a fresh kill pile in our camp here. You all can eat. There is also some herbs that your mate can eat to make sure she has enough milk to supply for your cubs." Nightfeather tried to keep things running smooth, she didn't want to fight. If these cats became friends with Shadowclan for the hospitality given then they would have some powerful allies (sp?) with them.
"I'm sure you care dearly for your tribe as I do for my clanmates so please try and make yourself at home. If you need to hunt for more fresh kill then Miragesoul and I will show you the boundaries." Nightfeather put a piercing gaze upon the other femme. Nightfeather didn't want a fight on her paws. If they angered the already aggitated leader then there might be some trouble on their paws. A lot of trouble in deed.
"If you want, go fetch the rest of your tribe while I go fetch that herb for your mate." Nightfeather sped off to the Med Cat's den and started searching.

Reefpelt boomed, "Cats of Shadowclan, as you know, we don't have a leader right now. We must also find a medicine cat because leaf-bare is going to be tough. I must go to the gathering with only three of you. This is very important that only three cats come with me. I will be picking the cats that get to go to the gathering soon, but once we get there we must tell the other clans about how we don't have a leader or medicine cat and about how we don't have many cats." The tom paused and then he added, "I know that his is hard without a leader, but we must get through this together. We must be strong and not give up this leaf-bare. We must fight as a clan to find food or we will fall and our clan will be doomed. Do you understand?" The tom's question rang out through the group of cats. Reefpelt asked, "Does anyone have to say anything to the clan?" He flicked his tail and waited to see if any cat had a reply.

Hardsoul joined the clan meeting, hoping he wasn't too late. "I have something to ask!" he announced, "What will we say about them?" He flicked his tail at Thomas. "If, we say anything at all..." He looked at Reefpelt in a questioning and devious way. "We all know that pesky Thunderclan wants to push its nose into Shadowclan's buisness!" He let out a snort. Then he turned and went to sit by Thomas. He sort of liked this cat. Other than size, he and Thomas seemed a little bit alike. "Will Thomas and his cats be coming?" As much as he like Thomas, only leaving three cats behind to protect camp! It seemed quite stupid, what if they started getting territorial, what if a fight broke out? But he wanted to go to the gathering! he wondered if reefpelt even knew what he was doing. But, he dipped his head, sat and tucked his tail around him. Hardsoul wasn't about to be intimidated, but he didn't say a word. He must save his breath for the gathering. If his deputy was going to let him go...
He looked at Thomas, and wondered if the cat knew excatly what he was thinking...

[ploegy]

Reefpelt shot a look at Hardsoul and spat "I know Thunderclan is getting into our buisness. Also since there are not very many of us I must only take one to two cats with me. I see that I must leave more warrior's back. I'm going to pick the one or two cats going to the gathering after I think about who I want to come with me. Right now we must trust that Starclan will help us." Reefpelt glanced at Thomas. He added "Hardsoul, Thomas and his cats may come." Reefpelt flicked his stub tail and thought about which cat to chose. He was only going to pick one to make sure the camp would be safe from harm. Reefpelt flicked his ears and spoke "I pick......." He paused as he saw a shadow outside of his camp. He hissed "Look over there! There's something over there!" He pointed his stub tail toward the shadow outside their camp. Reefpelt jumped off the high branch and padded over toward the shadow. He spat at the creature and watched it walked closer to him. Reefpelt's fur bristled as the creature came closer. The tom pounced on the firgure and grabbed it by the neck. A cat was in his jaws. Reefpelt dropped the cat and pinned it to the ground. He saw it was a Thunderclan cat. A young Thunderclan cat.[/size]

The Thunderclan cat spat "I'm only here to ask you something." The Thunderclan cat got out from under Reefpelt and asked "I came to ask if you can make it to the gathering?" She glared at the tom and mewed "If you do not know me i'm Jinglepaw." Jinglepaw dipped her head to Reefpelt and waited for his reply.

Reefpelt looked at the apprentice and hissed "Yes my clan is going to the gathering." He added "And please get out of my territory and tell your clan to stay out of Shadowclan's way." He pushed the apprentice and waited for her to start walking. He meowed to his clan "I'll be back in awhile after I take care of this apprentice." Reefpelt walked the apprentice to the border and spat "Don't ever come back on my territory!"

Jinglepaw nodded at the deputy and went back into Thunderclan territory to tell her clan about what happened with Shadowclan. She thought 'I'm never going back there ever again in my life.'

Reefpelt went back to his clan and jumped on to the high branch and spat "The cat I chose is Hardsoul, but I might take Miragesoul also. It depends on what happen's, but I know I will be taking both of you cats with me if nothing bad happen's from now and until the gathering." The tom flicked his ears again and then dipped his head to his clan and jumped off the high branch.

\\ Talk sense for o n c e in what you call your l i f e //

...[x] Padding along after her 'friends', the brindle she-cat thought again about her brother. He always crossed her mind around this time of the leaf-bare, always near moonhigh. She walked into the camp, not aware that the beast with golden paws was following them. She was brought back by a loud voice. It was the deputy, Reefpelt. Dawnwind didn't know him very well, but didn't really want to. She glared at him when he sat on the high branch like he was leader. She hissed at him with disgust dripping from her voice like venom. "We heard you the first ten times!" she snarled. She didn't care who he was or what rank that he held, that branch was for the leader and only the leader in her book. He could call a clan meeting from the ground. Her tail flicked from side to side with complete rage.

...[x] She listened to him, though her gaze flickered around the camp. Reefpelt was too nice to be the deputy. He was too soft, far too trusting. She glared around the camp, seeing Nightfeather, Miragesoul, Hardsoul, and the ones with golden paws. They didn't seem as angry as before and she felt calmer around them. They would be good allies. She listened to Nightfeather speak to the tom. So his mate was to have kits soon and she was weak, eh? As soon as Nightfeather heard this, she dashed off somewhere. Dawnwind's gaze trailed her slightly, then flickered back the Reefpelt. He spoke of them not having a leader.

...[x] "No duh, you moron... If we had a leader, Shadowclan wouldn't look so stupid right now..." She growled, only a whisper, but still a growl. She glared at Reefpelt in utter disbelief. They were to expose their weakened state to the other clans!? Thunderclan would know that they were weak! That could not happen! Then the chance sprung up. Yes! He asked his first mistake. She was about to snarl at him when Hardsoul opened his fat mouth. Yes, she still hated him. He did have a point. What about them? Would they be feared more if they came? Reefpelt blurted out stupidly what Hardsoul just stated. True, if there was a cat that she hated more than Hardsoul, it was her own stupid, moronic deputy. "Quit stating the obvious, Foxdung! Heheh... There. A new name for you. Foxdung. Very fitting." Oh how she wanted to say that. Then it was her turn to speak.

...[x] "Hold up! I have something to say to the clan!" she hissed. Dawnwind got to her feet and started pacing infront of all the clan cats. "Are we, Shadowclan, really going to listen to this!? Will we tell Thunderclan that we have no leader or Medicine cat?! That will be like screaming 'Hey Thunderclan! Come and attack us!' I refuse to let you tell them this! I don't care that you are a new deputy! Shadowclan doesn't trust the other clans! Or at least we shouldn't!" she hissed. "Reefpelt! You sound like a moronic Thunderclan cat! Talk sense for once in your pittiful life!" she wasn't done yet. It was his fault for asking if they wanted to sound their voices. She heard him spit two words. My. Territory. That was it. She wheeled around and hissed at Reefpelt.

...[x] Call her stupid, she won't hear you. "Your territory!? This land belongs to the leader of Shadowclan! Only the leader! You are the deputy and I have no clue as to what Starclan saw in you! You are a moron, learn that well! You know nothing!" she hissed. Her claws were unsheathed as she glared down the deputy. Respect only goes so far with her. Dawnwind was one of the most loyal cats the Shadowclan. She proved that in her first moons as a warrior. She worked hard to become a Shadowclan cat and she would not stand around while a stupid cat who walked into the wrong clan tried to make a second Thunderclan. Then she still ranted to the deputy.

...[x] "This isn't your anything! Learn it well! You may have been chosen by Starclan, but that doesn't earn my trust! You have to work for my respect, and you should have to work for the respect of the rest of Shadowclan! You are the wosrt deputy in the history of Shadowclan!" she yowled. With those words, she turned and fled. Her course was obvious, she would reach Thunderclan or the Island, whichever came first, before Foxdung would. If these cats hated her and listened to him, then they weren't of Shadowclan either. Shadowclan should have wise, powerful upper ranks, not moronic kits who strayed away from Thunderclan! She bolted away from the rest of the clan, moving faster and faster. Small tears fell from her eyes as she ran, eyes closed. Her fangs were bared and ears were back. She hissed right before darting away from the cats. They could call her back, they could chase her down. She would fight back.

Nightfeather looked around the camp, she carried borage leaves, poppy seeds and a couple of thrushes in her jaws. She heard Dawnwind's snappy remarks from the Medicine Cat's den. It looked like sparks were going to fly when she bolted out of the clearing.
Nightfeather ran as fast as she could to Thomas, she layed down her burrden to him and told him the instructions he would need for the items.
"First, give your mate these leaves," she gestured to the borage leaves in front of her, "They will keep her suply of milk plentiful for your ... Cubs is it?" She shook her confused head and then gestured to the fresh kill also in front of her, "Let her eat these two, it might not be enough but it's food. Then give her these seeds to eat, they will hopefully make her sleep."
Nightfeather didn't know about the herbs much but she had been in the Med Cat den enough times to know something.
The dark she-cat then turned right around and sprinted after Dawnwind, she wanted to talk to the femme.
Dawnwind was an impressive runner, she seemed almost halfway across the territory but Nightfeather was just as fast. the dark figure flew past the trees, darting left and right, jumping and ducking. She finally seemed to catch up with the speedy cat.
"Dawnwind!" she yowled, "Wait! I want to talk to you!" She started to yell out her words, hoping that the running cat would eventually slow down and listen.
"I hate this deputy as much you do, he shouldn't be on the leader's branch. I agree that telling thunderclan of our non-leader-slash-Medicine Cat status would give them an upper hand and leave room for an attack. I will come with you if you want. I don't want to do much anymore."

[streampaw]

<sub>The she-cat heard something behind her, padding along after her. Dawnwind thought that Reefpeltcould have been coming after her, so she sped up slightly. Then a voice called out her name. It was the soft voice of Nightfeather. She still didn't know whether she wanted to stop yet, but then Nightfeather gave her a pretty good reason. Dawnwind slowed to a trot, then to a stop. She sat down and watched as Nightfeather caught up to her. "Nightfeather... Thank you..." she said softly. But now that she had a partner, where were they to go? She felt completly horrible at the time, her body quivering every other breath. She wanted to go to the Moonpool and ask Starclan, but what would they do? Then again, she wanted to see her brother more than ever, he would know what to do. "Nightfeather, we need to go to Thunderclan and find someone. Then the three of us should probably go to the Moonpool and see if Starclan has any advice." she said softly. Dawnwind was still unsure as to how any Thunderclan cats would respond to her taking one of their cats with her, but they would have to get over it. "Nightfeather, you don't have to come to Thunderclan with me... But if you want to, you can. I just need to find..." she didn't want to say it. She never told anyone of her family. "I have to find my brother." she said sadly. Then she turned and walked in Thunderclan's direction.

<sub>To her surprise, she couldn't even turn around before another cat showed up. It was Miragesoul. "What is going on...?" He question was soon answered by Miragesoul's statement. "Wha? Leadership?" she said. She couldn't see that these two cats were coming to her and telling her to lead. Her eyes grew wide. Dawnwind didn't know what to do or think right now. Two cats were calling her leader, and Miragesoul was saying that more cats would chose her side than Reefpelt's. Dawnwind sat silently, sorting out what was happening in her head. "These two have called me their leader and I don't know what to do. I know that we should probably see what Starclan would say to this, but I know that I need to see Duskwing first." Dawnwind rose to her paws and postioned herself in front of the two cats. "Okay. Here's what we need to do. For the sake of my sanity we need to go to Thunderclan and find my brother, Duskwing. I've heard on the wind that he's the deputy now, so he shouldn't be that tough to find. Then when he joins us we'll head out to the Moonpool to get Starclan's advice on this. Any objections?" she stated bluntly. Then she turned and padded off, the other two in step with her. It seemed that a new clan, or maybe the true Shadowclan, was rising from the ashes of the Shadowclan that Blackstar led so well.

"Yes..." Nightfeather smiled at the thought of the three she-cats rebeling against their so-called deputy. "I will also follow you to leadership. We all have the power to bring down Reefpelt and make sure he stays down there." She smiled a devious smile and flicked her tail back and forth in comfort.
"I believe," she said as she ran in front of the other she-cats and walked backwards, "I believe, that we can make a different and lead Shadowclan out of the darkness and into the light of power that we all belong in! We, Shadowclan warriors, belong in the rays of power! To be lighted by the freshness of power." She paused, still walking backwards; careful not to trip over any holes or her own paws or tail.
She let her rules sink in to the minds of the she-cats in front of her. Justice had to be served, they needed top show Shadowclan into the light and make them the most powerful clan to ever walk these grounds.
"I don't mind having your brother around," Nightfeather told Dawnwind as she fell into step beside her, "But I'm curious, why do we need him with us? He is a Thunderclan cat, I know one particular that would absolutely LOVE to see me, " she paused and smiled widely, "But this situation is really for us Shadowclan cats."
Nightfeather seemed to be talking more than ever these days, it felt good for her sly tongue. Talking fast was one of the things that she was good at a while back. Ever since she got into her relationship with Hardsoul things had been rocky with her old self. the old Nightfeather still wanted power.
Hardsoul... Please, if you can hear me. I love you. Remember that Love.
And with those last words the new Nightfeather slowly faded to the back of her memory and the old vicious, sly, cold-hearted, hot tongued, coniving Nightfeather came to view.
"So ladies, what shall we do to take down what's-his-name," Nightfeather was refering to the so-called-deputy that probably still stood on the highbranch as they spoke.

occ: oooo ... confusing X.x srry for the lateness of the post..

[streampaw]

<sub>Dawnwind loved how Nightfeather thought. "Yes... Perfectly spoken, Nightfeather." She continued to walk toward Thunderclan's camp. Then Nightfeather stated that she wouldn't mind her brother being around, but the question as to why he needed to be present rose up. "I know what you're thinking right now. Trust me. But when I was younger, my brother was always the leader. I always looked up to him for advice and for protection even. He should be able to help us overpower Reefpelt." she said calmly. She knew that any Shadowclan cat had no reason to trust Duskwing, and she was okay with Nightfeather asking. Then her eyes lit up. She had an idea about how to overthrow him. She stopped walking and wheeled around infront of Nightfeather and Miragesoul. A sly grin curved across her maw as her eyes narrowed. "Well, we'll take down Foxdung with pure wit. All we have to do is play with his head, make him think that Starclan didn't choose him. Then when his sanity crumbles, I'll get Duskwing to organize a false Thunderclan attack. It should get him thinking that he is a horrible deputy. When we're done toying with him, we could just drown him in the icy water or run him out of camp. You two should add your own ideas to this plot. I think it will be very fun." she purred. "We'll head out to Thunderclan after you give your ideads, then to the Moonpool to see if Starclan has anything to say to this. And then... Reefpelt will fall!" She yowled the part to the sky, her voice trailing all over camp. "Now let's start moving again before anyone on his side starts to trail us..." she said with a hint of play in her voice.

Nightfeather let the wondrous plan that Dawnwind had conjured. Having the she-cat around was like a blessing from Starclan! Nightfeather wouldn't mind being around her!
"Your plan!" Nightfeather exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with pure mischieviousness. "I LOVE it! Our retched deputy won't know what hit him... Hmmm..." The dark seductress then thought deeply for a few moments; then her mind suddenly snapped awake as if Starclan had sent a thunderbolt down on her head.
"What hit him! That is it!" A smile spread across her face.
"Do you know what this means? If we hit him hard enough on the head, he will get knocked out." Her thoughts just started to fall out of her mouth like water running down a waterfall.
"When he wakes up if we all could mask our scents and looks then we could pose as Starclan cats and totally destroy his thinking! We could tell him and convince him totally of our non-acceptance of him and then he will crumble like a dried leaf in our paws!" The thought played in her mind as she saw all of them looking like warriors of Starclan and convincing him of their annoyance and disgust of him. It was so excellent Nightfeather wanted to jump for joy.
"What do you say? If we do this for the Starclan part then the other parts would smoothly transition with it."
Nightfeather smiled as she walked with the other femmes toward Thunderclan.
Nightfeather then thought of seeing her 'friend' Mudstorm. Ha, that she-cat is so afraid of the Night I could scare her to death if I wanted to! Nightfeather smirked and put on her I-know-something-that-you-don't smile and continued to think about the last time she saw the Thunderclan she-cat.
Must have been the first or second Gathering hmmm? She kept thinking as she walked.
