"He'll understand that the Clan needs to be informed." Closesky mewed calmly. "judging by the way the other Clans reacted, one of them could be so bold to attack a patrol or come after us directly. We need to be ready for anything. Besides..." Closesky let out a sigh and glanced back toward the leader's den. "Cedarstar needs as much rest as he can get after that gathering. Knowing that the Clan is doing alright without him should help him get that rest, despite his pride."

Maplepaw began to scrabble as the medicine cat came in the den, pushing himself away from Fuzzypaw with a frustrated hiss, his sides still heaving. "Fire...thinking..." he heaved, his breathing still rendering him unable to speak. "Can't-- stop... breathing--" Reeling around, his fur bunched once more, he gave a furious shriek. " Get me out of this den!" Snowdace stepped back at the apprentice’s sudden outburst and flicked her ear, “Well, come on. Don’t just stand there, help me get him out of the den and over to mine.” She said to the other apprentices, then turned to Maplepaw, “Follow me.” She said, turning and pushing out of the apprentice den.

Cloudscar glanced to Closesky. "The clan does need to know" he agreed "But I am worried of wounding Cedarstar's pride by making the announcement myself." He glanced across the camp and let out a sigh, maybe the announcement couldn't wait. Stormfury let out a sigh "Unfortunately the herbs and other plants that prey feeds on won't grow back until new leaf...and until then I'm not sure how much prey will come back." He glanced at Cherryvine, concern glinting in his eyes. "But don't you worry my love, you and our kits will not starve." Cherryvine let out a heavy sigh at the news, the young queen carefully curled her tail around her swollen belly. "What if there's nothing?" she whispered. "This will be the hardest leaf-bare we've ever seen Stormfury and kits have starved in the past. I know you and I would both go to the end of the Earth for these kits, but.. what if they don't make it?"

Duskpaw shoved her nose under the apprentice's shoulder to help him up, trying to be strong for her fellow apprentice.

Fuzzypaw hopped to her paws, pressing her shoulder against Maplepaw's other side to help him from the den, her tail flicking in concern.

Cloudscar nodded. "Alright, I'll do that now." He dipped his head to Closesky and padded toward Clanrock. Bunching his muscles, he leaped up in one fluid motion. I'm not as young as I once was he thought with a small grimace, before turning to address the clan "Let all cats old enough to stalk their own prey gather here beneath clan rock for a clan meeting!"
Stormfury pressed against his mate. "I will take over every territory myself before I let that happen." He said softly, before his ears pricked at Cloudscar's call.

Cherryvine flicked her ears curiously at her former mentor's call. She looked at her mate with a sigh. "Want to help me up? I want to hear what he has to say and it will be nice to stretch my legs."
The rest of my cats gathered.

Stormfury purred and stood, bracing his shoulder so Cherryvine would have something to lean on "Of course, though I bet it's about the gathering." He said
The rest of my cats also gathered

Cherryvine hauled herself to her paws with a huff. "No one told me being pregnant was this hard." she mewed, breathing heavily. Taking a moment, she caught her breath before she began to walk forward, leaning on Stormfury's shoulder to keep herself balanced.

Closesky turned to face Cloudscar, but positioned himself at point where he could see the leader's den as well.
Cliffheart looked up at the deputy, but didn't quite have the heart to listen.
Palepaw and Whorlpaw and Rowanpaw slipped out of the apprentice den. Palepaw frowned when he saw Cloudscar in his father's place
Houndthroat looked to Cloudscar and flicked his ear. Why was the deputy addressing them and not Cedarstar? 'i guess Cedarstar is still too weak.'

((Hey Zz! I suppose I should stop being lazy and actually write out my characters, huh? )) Stormfury purred as he helped lead his mate out into the camp. "Well I certainly don't envy you." He said with a small laugh before stopping to help her sit again. Hollypaw padded over from where she had been grooming herself next to the apprentice's den. "What's Cloudscar doing?" She whispered to Palepaw as she sat down next to him. Oakpaw kept his distance, but looked up towards the rock.

Palepaw shook his head. "I don't know, but it's my father's job to address the Clan, not Cloudscar's."

((Not to bad, enjoying the break I have from work))
Hollypaw nodded. "If he could address all the clans at the gathering, he could talk to us." she mewed in agreement, though she was sure to keep her voice low enough so as not to be called out.

Cherryvine settled at the back of the crowd next to Stormfury, waving her tail in the direction of Hazelblaze and Vixenflame.
Hazelblaze slid over to Stormfury and her sister. "Starclan! I'm surprised you made it out here." she joked warmly, nudging her sister.
Starrylight turned her ears towards Cloudscar's voice as she watched over Cedarstar, licking her mate's pelt gently.
Falcontalon dipped his head to Cloudscar, remembering how nerve-wracking it had been to stand up on that rock in Northstar's place.

Palepaw flicked his ear and glanced at her. He wasn't sure his father was in a state where he could address the Clan. Not after how the gathering itself had sapped Cedarstar's strength. Yet, he didn't think Cloudscar should be addressing the Clan. Cedarstar could do it after he got his rest.

Cloudscar continued on. "I'm sure many of you have heard about the events of last night's gathering. Until new-leaf, ShadowClan has control of Fourtrees, and the territory has been marked with our scent." He took a moment to think through how to word his next statement, he didn't want to exaggerate or make out any of the leaders to be anything they were not. "Some of the other leaders, particularly Lightningstar, were not happy with Cedarstar's claim to the territory. I want all patrols to Fourtrees to have an additional warrior for the time being, until we know that Lightningstar and Swiftstar will honor ShadowClan's claim."

Houndthroat huffed. Of course the other Clans wouldn't be thrilled about their claim to Fourtrees. I don't understand why they even care. It's not like they use the territory.
Russetshade nodded in agreement with Cloudscar, an extra warrior on patrols would be best. She glanced over at her sons. Hopefully, none of the apprentices would dare head to Fourtrees on their own.
Littlemoon shifted her paws, uneased at the fact that the other Clans weren't on their side. After everything we risked for them. They won't let us have this one thing?

Sure willow)
Oakstalk was silent as he listened to Cloudscar. He understood the fourtrees was neutral ground but they needed the territory.
Pinefeather nodded softly. She wouldn’t put it past one of the clans to try and push back against their claim.

Sootwhisker’s tail twitched with worry. He didn’t like how hostile the other clan leaders were at the gathering. Hopefully their peaceful ties with the other clans wouldn’t become severed as leaf-bare wore on.
Dustrose huffed. Of course those frog-brains would still insist on keeping us from Fourtrees after we risked our lives for them. They’re just a bunch of fox hearts.

Duskpaw was fidgeting at the edge of the crowd, she was worried about her father and was still half expecting a punishment from Cliffheart.
Cherryvine listened intently between Hazelblaze and Stormfury.
Bumbleskip lurked at the edge of the clearing, the tom looking towards Cloudscar with glazed over eyes. It was obvious he wasn't listening to a word the deputy was saying.

Littlemoon scooted over to Sootwhisker. "You were at the gathering, weren't you?" She whispered softly. "Was it really as bad as they say?"

Heyo)
Shademoon sat beside his mate, frowning at the news that the clans were against their claim on Fourtrees, “I hope the other clans don’t think about attacking us.” He muttered to Pinefeather, his tail lashing.
Vixenflame moved over to her sisters giving them a nod in greeting as she turned to listen to Cloudscar. She glanced over her shoulder to glance at Bumbleskip, worry for her father clear in her eyes.
Leopardshadow shook her head, remembering how the argument had ended. Would ThunderClan really risk their warriors over a small piece of territory?

Sootwhisker jumped slightly when Littlemoon scooted next to him. “Yeah,” he replied quietly. “Lightningstar was extremely angery at Cedarstar for suggesting it. He thought we purposely didn’t help ThunderClan, or something like that.”

Cherryvine followed Vixenflame's eyes towards their father, she frowned seeing how far away he looked. She leaned closer to Vixenflame, "Is he doing okay?" she asked, worry evident in her voice. "He hasn't come to see me recently."

"You're kidding." Littlemoon looked at Sootwhisker in surprise. "You think he would understand that we couldn't get to everyone! Especially not after how we all almost died ourselves." She shivered at the thought of all the members of her patrol dying in that fire.
