Fireblaze nodded to Lightpaw. "Why don't you chase out the first rabbit towards me? I'll go hide behind outlook rock" she pointed with her tail towards the large rock as she mentioned it, "and you will chase a rabbit towards me." She opened her mouth to scent the air, hoping there would be one nearby. Swiftstar nodded and stood, shaking out his pelt. He padded towards tall rock, picking up speed as he did so, until he bounded up onto it gracefully. Maybe I'm not so old after all. He said to himself, amused. "Let all cats old enough to run across the moors gather here beneath tall rock for a clan meeting!" Lighpaw paused and looked around the moor, “but there is no rabbit” lightpaw mewed |

No worries Dawn  ) Sandfall sighed, looking towards Moonpaw. "I think I can smell some mice near by. It's not a mouse but.. it's something." he mewed weakly. "Let's go, be light on your paws. They have good hearing." ~~~~~ Fallowmeadow stood up and settled down at the front of the crowd. The rest of my cats gathered Moonpaw Nodded stalking through the moor Checking for any scent of prey as she stalked next to sandfall |

Sandfall placed his tail in front of Moonpaw as a signal to stop. "I smell them right ahead, do you? How many do you think there are?"

Sandfall placed his tail in front of Moonpaw as a signal to stop. "I smell them right ahead, do you? How many do you think there are?" Moonpaw paused and parted her jaws to drink in the scents and scented prey “is it mouse?” she whispered to sandfall, being carefull to be quiet |

Sandfall nodded "Several I believe, perhaps a small nest of them. Now I'm going to go over to it, and slam my feet down. It's going to lure them out of the nest, but they're going to run okay? You have to be ready to catch them."

Sandfall crept foward, attempting to role model his best hunter's crouch for the apprentice. He stopped when he picked up the quiet squeaks of the mice below. Stiffling a purr, he raised his tail in a signal before rearing up on his hind legs and slamming them next to the mouth of the nest. 3 mice appeared in panic, scattering in different directions. Sandfall took off after one, trusting Moonpaw could handle another.

She turned looking around for another one and found one scurrying torwards a small bush, moonpaw sped torwards it and slammed her paws down on its spine in time before it got to the small bush. She picked up the two limp mice that were swinging from her jaws and padded up to sandfall. “I did it!” She mewed triumphantly |

Swiftstar flicked his tail before beginning, wanting to break the bad news first. “Many of you have already heard what happened at last night’s gathering, but I wanted to confirm that the rumors are true. ShadowClan has taken control of FourTrees until newleaf.” (This was Fire's last post, so I'm guessing we're still in a meeting.) Harewhisker started with shock at what Swiftstar reported. ShadowClan claimed Fourtrees?! His pelt bristled with anger. How could they?! Dashclaw flattened his ears at Swiftstar's announcement. He had seen the gathering with his own eyes, heard Cedarstar's claim with his own ears, but that didn't mean he still liked hearing it. ShadowClan has no right to Fourtrees. Even if they did help us! |

"No..." Dashclaw's expression grew grim when he looked back at his son. "AdderClan once laid claim to Fourtrees a long time ago."

"...What was it like, with Adderclan in the forest?" Antpaw asked his father, eyes flickering. He had heard vague stories of Adderclan, but knew it was starting to be lost in with other kittales to scare the apprentices. He wondered how his father must have survived that.

(*has to remember how old Dash was >.< )
Dashclaw let out a sigh. "It was terrible. I became a warrior around that time. AdderClan came in the middle of the night and ambushed our camp. We held them off, but we were hurt badly. Northstar eventually came to our camp and she and Scarstar agreed that our territories were no longer safe." He looked at his son and flattened his ears. "Being unable to be safe in your own territory is the worst feeling in the world. We moved to highstones when AdderClan began taking over more and more of the forest."

I wish I had been there. I would have fought him for you to protect you.” Antpaw decided, feeling his chest puff out with bravery. |

((SO SORRY I POOFED. I'M BACK))
Swiftstar took a moment to listen to his clan before continuing on. "I agree that Fourtrees is sacred and should be neutral territory. I expressed this at the gathering as well. However, since the fire started in ShadowClan they have no extra territory. ThunderClan and Skyclan can turn to the twoleg place, RiverClan can turn to the river....and we will be turning to Highstones." He paused again before raising his voice slightly. "Until newleaf, WindClan will have control of Highstones! Any hunting patrols are allowed to hunt near mothermouth and the surrounding territory. However, unlike ShadowClan, we will not be forbidding other clans from traveling there."

Fireblaze flicked her ear at Lightpaw. "Are you sure? I didn't see you scent the air."

Antpaw deflated a bit, looking at his father. “Yeah, well, I bet you woulda done the same...” He puffed, though he understood that his father was only caring for him. The apprentice shook his head. “Do you think those cats will come back?” |

Blacktail listened to Swiftstar silently, ear flicking at the announcement. Highstones would provide decent prey, the air too cold and thin to allow the flames to breach it. He silently fretted though, knowing he would not be able to handle climbing up and down the rocky slopes much longer.
Furyflame nodded quickly, sneering out. “Since we can just take any territory we like, that seems fair. I like Highstones anyway.” She decided.

Dawnpaw left the crowd to go onto the moor, as she stumbled through the moor she picked up a scent.
she paused and drinked in the scents of the moor and reconized it. Mouse. she reconized the scent and crept around for a moment then saw the small body of a mouse nibbling on some seeds on the ground. Dawnpaw wiggled her hunches and landed on the mouse’s spice, nipping its neck to deliver the killing blow. She tasted the blood on her tongue and lifted the mouse, was the moor recovering faster than i thought? She asked herself on the way back to camp
Once she arrived at camp she dropped her mouse at the fresh kill pile and padded torward the dirt place.

Eclipsesky sighed in relief as Swiftstar announced he would not be stopping the medicine cats from getting to the mother mouth. He hoped internally that Starclan would forgive them, they were desperate after all.
Fallowmeadow flexed her claws, curious if the clan would say anything else.

Sorry i didnt see this untill now)) lighpaw lifted his head and drinked in the scents of the moor and scented rabbit,”oh” he said this is embarrassing he thought to himself. He stalked away behind the rabbit then slammed his paws down on the rabbit’s tail. He watched the rabbit speed of in the direction of fireblaze. |

((well I guess I will continue then.))
Swiftstar looked down at the clan. "I believe we also have a few kits who are ready to be apprentices." He mewed, gazing over to Dustfire and Fernheart and then down to Breezekit and Cloudkit. "Cloudkit and Breezekit, come forward."
Breezekit scampered forward excitedly, glancing over to Cloudkit as he did so. Finally! He said, his pelt pricking with excitement.

Dashclaw smiled softly at the mention of new apprentices. This was the kind of uplifting the Clan needed.
Harewhisker was sitting near the nursery and listening to Swiftstar. He kept glancing toward the nursery entrance, wanting to be with his kits.

Fallowmeadow purred, watching them proudly.
Wolfstep glanced at Hazelear as he watched his brother's kits step forward, wondering if they would have kits some day.
Larkpaw grinned looking excitedly at the kits. She was ready not to be the youngest apprentice and to get more denmates!

Swiftstar looked down at his grandkits and smiled slightly. He remembered the excitement of getting his apprentice name, and then the honor of being able to name his own kits...and now his grandkits. "Breezekit and Cloudkit, you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to become apprentice. Cloudkit, from this day forward until you receive your warrior name you shall be known as Cloudpaw."
He glanced out into the crowd below him "Goldheart, you will take on Cloudpaw as your apprentice. I hope you pass on your skill and passion for hunting and fighting." Glancing back at Breezekit he continued. "Breezekit, from this day until you receive your warrior name, you shall be known as Breezepaw."
Swiftstar paused for just a moment before looking out at his clan. "Dashclaw, you will take Breezepaw as your apprentice. I hope you pass on your determination, willingness to try new things, and dedication to WindClan."
---
Breezepaw glanced to Dashclaw in surprise as his mentor was named.Dashclaw?? But he was just a tunneler! How can he be my mentor when he literally tried to quit being a moor runner. He glanced back to Cloudpaw, jealous of his mentor. Maybe Cloudpaw and I can trade.
