Okay and have fun! :3)
Shatteredmoon was beside Tigerfur as they watched Darknight's group roll in through the camp entrance. They didn't really care for the deputy, but weren't exactly mobile to have much of a choice either..
--
Though tiredness was overtaking them, Lillycrest managed to keep up with Aurorastar's patrol with help from her brother, Cracklingstorm.
"We need to be prepared for anything when we retch the upper camp." Cracklingstorm whispered into his sister's ear.
--
Aquawish and Tundraclaw were siting in the middle camp close to the prey pile. News had already retched their ears and both were thinking deeply on the matter.
"Do you think Mother will be trapped where she is? I know Tigerfur doesn't move very well now days.." Aquawish had a concerned look upon her pale silver face, feeling hopeless in her heart.
Tundraclaw huffed with a stern look in his cold blue gaze. "They'll be fine. I'm even thinking about joining them myself." He gave his large brown paw a few licks as he didn't really care who heard him.
Aquawish frowned slightly and looked to her paws-- ignoring the hasty words her brother spoke. She always knew he had a temper and was different from herself and her other siblings, but Tundraclaw reminded her of their mother, Shatteredmoon, in a way.. Not to mention, he did look an awful lot like Tigerfur.

(Dustdapple is at the Middle Camp and Lionstep is at the Upper Camp, by the way! Just wondering, who's RPing Spiritvoid? Because I might want Pantherpaw to stay in the same camp as Spiritvoid since they're both Death cats. But I'm not totally sure yet...)

Lilykit didn't answer him. "Can we play another game?" she asked, eyes bright once more, looking excited.
Twilightpaw snorted. "Excuse me? Wolfpaw's not going anywhere. He's staying here, with me," she retorted, taking a step towards Hollowpaw, claws unsheathed. Rowanpaw rolled his eyes. "I told you, Hollowpaw. He's not going to go. He's too infatuated with my sister," he remarked with a disgusted tone. Zinniapetal searched the camp, trying to see who was likely to come; Echoheart, for sure. What about the new apprentices? Perhaps she could smuggle little Soulkit out... Too late, she realized, as Darknight's group entered the cave, having sneaked through the tunnel quietly. "Feels good to be home," he murmured to Coppertuft and Zincclaw beside him. Then he whispered to Galegust, "You need to win Emberpaw and Airpaw's trust, get them to stay. We need as many cats here as possible," he reminded her, realizing that the two kits must feel tension based on her leaving them to go to the Lower Camp previously to be with him.
Aurorastar was leading a group past the Middle Camp now, having arrived not long ago; it was dark, and crickets were chirping, owls hooting, and wind howling. They reached the Dark Forest now, and Aurorastar was on edge. "Let's go as far as we possibly can. There may be kits, apprentices, elders, queens," she noted. It was wishful thinking; she was honestly hoping, praying to the spirits that the majority of the cats there would be leaving...
Mysticsoul had left the Upper Camp almost as soon as she had entered upon hearing that Darknight was coming. She wasn't going to abide by some cat who valued mates and camps over family and the Clan. She was near the edge of the Dark Forest when she heard movement and voices. The voice sounded like Aurorastar. She emerged from the shadows and dipped her head in greeting. " Hello, Aurorastar."
Blazepaw trotted in place, ready to help anyone, though the apprentice thought that anyone would want a newly-named apprentice for help.
Soulkit nodded. " As long as we stay in the Nursery. Don't want to upset anyone." He was oblivious to the cats arriving in camp.
Bearpaw smiled as he saw Darknight enter the cave. He dipped his head with a small smirk on his face. It was high time some cat around here did something right, and the apprentice was happy that Darknight was that cat.

(I'm back!!!!!!!!!! So tired from PT she really worked me today!!
It's your choice, I'll make a Death cat in the Upper Camp if Pantherpaw choses to move, whatever you think he would do. Awesome! Petalstorm is upset right now cuz her father wants her to move, so maybe she can talk with Dustdapple and Aquawish?
Oh boy hi Sum!!!!! Perhaps Fogkit and Joltkit can overhear Soulkit talking to himself...well, at least, THEY think he's talking to himself, hehe!)
Petalstorm overhead Tundraclaw's conversation, not too far away. "Maybe we should go now..." she said to Tundraclaw. "I'm worried Darknight won't let us move back later if we don't chose now..." As much as she hated saying it; she didn't want to leave her friends behind, but she couldn't abandon her father. Sharpear was her only real family.
Aurorastar hissed, "Lillycrest!" calling the she-cat forward. "Can you grow some vines between these two trees here," she said, motioning to the two trees at the edge of the forest, near the mountain slope where they would be setting up to help anyone escaping. "We need to stay hidden in case Darknight's followers are patrolling." Suddenly, she saw a cat slipping down the mountain slope. "Quick!" she called to her patrol. "Let's help her!" The leader rushed forward to the cat. "Ah, Mysticsoul! Thank the spirits! Are you alright? What is it like there?" she requested, bombarding the she-cat with questions.
Indigoleaf found her fellow elder in the Upper Camp. "Tigerfur," she acknowledged, giving a curt nod. "How are you feeling today?" He wasn't as strong as her, now; age had hit him hard, from all the time he gave as a warrior to the clan. Staying up this late in the chilly, dark, damp cave wasn't good for the joints of older cats. "What are your plans?" she asked Shatteredmoon in a whispered tone. She wouldn't blame anyone for leaving; many cats loved Aurorastar, herself included. But...she knew her son's heart was in the right place. At least, she hoped.
Lilykit grinned. "YEY! You pick, you pick!" she let out, bouncing up and down once more. Never had a kit looked as happy as this spirit kit now!

Galegust smiled as she entered, hearing Darknight's words and giving a nod. She noticed Bearpaw greet them immediately. "Bearpaw!" she responded, remembering the tom well from her time at the Upper Camp. "Where are Emberkit and Airkit?" she asked the apprentice.

Hey, Turtle. xD ]
Maybe. That would be interesting. ]
Mysticsoul said,"I'm fine. Thanks for the concern, Aurorastar." She paused and looked behind her before focusing on the leader again. "It was chaos when the Upper Camp heard the news. I saw a few cats escaping behind me, but I'm not sure on much else. I had just returned from the meeting here with the Death and other Psychic cats, and I turned right back around when I heard the news. I did happen to see the Indigoleaf talking to some cats. I think she planned on staying, and I think Soulkit is also staying due to that."
Bearpaw purred,"Hello, Galegust. Emberpaw and Airpaw... Mhm... I think I saw Airpaw slip into the Nursery, but I've no idea where Emberpaw is."
Soulkit hummed. "Can you hit things? Can play with moss ball or tag."

Aurorastar's face went blank. It was almost like losing her mother again...except this time much worse; she loved Indigoleaf, the elder kind to her, caring. She had never been close to Rosepetal, but Indigoleaf? She treated her as though she was her own mother. But of course she was staying...Darknight was her son. Indigoleaf was the whole reason she had chosen Darknight as her Head Warrior and then Deputy in the first place! She had thought if Indigoleaf was such a good cat, surely her son must be..."Well then..." she began, eyes looking down, thinking hard. "We must wait to help anymore cats coming...Lionstep!" she called to the tom. "Escort Mysticsoul to the Middle Camp and make sure you inform her of our plans. Fetch her prey when there and let everyone know more should be coming," she said with a nod to him.

"MOSSBALL MOSSBALL!" Lilykit screamed. "Jadekit tried to play mossball with me before!" she screeched, overly excited. "Momma said I was too sick..." She looked down, thinking for just a split second, but immediately perked back up.
Galegust raised an eyebrow. "Oh? They're apprentices now? Wonderful! Did they get good mentors?" she asked him. "Is they prey pile well stocked?" she also questioned, trying to see the pile from the distance as they walked. "I'm famished and my paws are so sore." She held her paw to her belly, even though she was hardly showing at all, as though the pregnancy was just so much trouble.( < this is my thought on Galegust XDXD)

Hey ...)
Scorchdust stood next to Emberpaw like a towering shadow, his orange gaze fixed on Galegust, "They have excellent mentors, ma'am. Aurorastar made sure of that." His meow rumbled cautiously, although not unfriendly and he dipped his head respectfully .
Pinefrost and Coldsun stood up at once and kept their eyes on the deputy and his mate, ready to flee or fight.

(XD as long as he treats the queens nicer! Seems like he's doing a great job now! XD I have her form up now btw so it will give you a little bit of her background. HOWEVER there are a lot of secrets I didn't put in there ) Galegust let out a purr. "That would be wonderful. I haven't had a good hawk in awhile, or deer. Do we have either of those?" she asked, a picky cat. "I suppose hare would be fine as well. NO fish though!" she ordered.
Lilykit screamed when the moss ball went right through her; the wispy spirit-form flickered a bit before becoming stable again as she looked down at her body. She looked frantic.

Bramblewatcher and Runningstorm, Coldsun and Pinefrost are all going to for sure follow Aurorastar, Tricklepaw can go either way, if you need her to. And Scorchdust I think will see what happens with Echoheart, Airpaw and Emberpaw)

(Hey Barky! How did things go??? Is everything ok?)
Galegust frowned at Scorchdust. "You're alright, I guess. But Echoheart is NOT a good mentor," she remarked. "Besides, I thought she was mentoring Breezepaw? Did she become a warrior or something?" she asked, though she honestly wasn't interested. Her gaze fixated on a cave cricket hopping about ahead. She settled on the rocky cave floor, glad to feel the cool touch of the stone.
Darknight padded over to Center Rock, ready to begin in a moment, to give a speech to his clanmates and inform them of his plans.

That can work. ) Tundraclaw nodded before he rose to his feet, stretching out his muscular limbs. "Okay. I'm ready to go if you are." He only gave a quick glance to Aquawish, seeming to not show his feelings at all. Aquawish lifted her blue green gaze in shock. "What?" She could hardly believe the whole Darknight situation and now this from Tundraclaw. Her surprise gradually morphed into sharp bitterness as she stared at her brother. -- Lillycrest jumped when she head the leader hiss her name. "Y-yes." She responded gently before she went to form the vines. Cracklingstorm was on edge which was apparent by the raised black fur on his neck and shoulders. -- "Hello, Indigoleaf." Tigerfur greeted his friend with a generous smile. Shatteredmoon didn't know what to say as she simply shrugged. "I don't really know Darknight that well, but I'm not to found of any cat who takes over a camp like that. It makes him seem power-hungry and rash. If I can get out, I will, but I'm not leaving Tigerfur behind." Tigerfur felt bad that he might be dragging his daughter down with him, but he didn't doubt that life would be a lot harder for him if she wasn't there.

And Scorchdust I think will see what happens with Echoheart, Airpaw and Emberpaw) (I was thinking Storm will probably have Oceanbreeze go to the Upper Camp with Darknight's group, as she is Galegust's best friend, BUT I can't say for sure. In that case, I figured maybe Tricklepaw might go with her. Emberpaw's decision is closely tied with Airpaw, but it will all be revealed soon enough in the rp. Just make sure you have at least one cat in the upper camp so you can rp there as well )

(I'll keep your family in my prayers Barky. Is everything okay?)
Hollowpaw narrowed her eyes, ignoring Rowanpaw and everything else going on around them as she stepped forward, now nose to nose with Twilightpaw though she was barely smaller than the calico she-cat. "He's my brother, and he's coming with me," she growled. This bravery was uncharacteristic of her, but she wasn't going to let her brother stay here.
Flurryheart glanced over at Brightpaw. "It's safe so long as we keep them safe. None of the queens have recently kitted and the elders and sickly are being helped," she meowed as she glanced around group, her gaze lingering on her son, who was walking fine, aside from not being able to walk in a straight line without being guided. Currently, Flamesoul's gaze was fixed on the ground in a determined stare as he tried to place his paws directly in front of each other as he walked.
Coalflare and Spiritvoid had joined the patrol with Aurorastar and were waiting with their ears perked for more cats to arrive, expecting both of their sister's to appear at any moment.
Warmglow and Inkshade were helping the few cats who wanted to leave the Upper camp get out when they noticed Darknight walk into the camp. They looked at each other, wondering if they should make a break for it, or if they should stay. Almost as if a telepathic thought was passed between them, they both made their way to a more secluded area of the camp and sat down, waiting and watching.

Indigoleaf frowned at Shatteredmoon. "Darknight will make sure we're all taken care of, especially the queens, elders and kits. I raised him right...He is for sure wrong in the way he went about this, and I will make it very clear to him. But if you don't want to stay, Tigerfur will be well looked after. I'll keep him busy with all my stories," she teased, purring at her fellow elder. She bumped into him lightly. "Perhaps I can go grab Scorchdust, see if he can warm your joints?" she asked Tigerfur.

Not really. He has Croup. It's hard for him to breathe and he has a fever, hoarse barking, and can barely do anything. But I did get medication from the doctors and a humidifier, I sat in the tub with him so he could inhale humidity...)
Scorchdust cleared his throat, "I really don't think you can judge Echoheart, since you haven't been here to actually see her mentor Airpaw . We have cared for them since they were made our apprentices."
Coldsun stalked forward "Yeah, they've done more than you can say! So has Aurorastar!"
Pinefrost bristled "Hush brother!"

Shatteredmoon frowned while her forest green gaze showed that the she-cat was more confused then sad. "I can't leave my father, you know that.. I'll see what Darknight has to say, but if things don't go well... Well I can't say that I'll be completely loyal." The gray tabby knew that she was speaking with Darknight's mother, but the warrior was an honest cat.
Tigerfur nodded. "Yes-- that would be great! I'd very much appreciate that." He purred.

Aurorastar gave an approving nod to Lillycrest. "Thank you," she mouthed, sitting to the side, on her own, by herself. She needed time to think.
Petalstorm froze, looking to her friend, Dustdapple. How could she leave her? She was her best friend! And now, Redhawk had arrived in the Middle Camp...it seemed he had been trying to speak to her, but she was so overwhelmed...Maybe that was all the more reason to go, though.
Twilightpaw stood her ground. "You always try to boss him around! That's all you ever do! But Wolfpaw is his own person; he's my friend, and one day he'll be my mate! And he's staying here!" she asserted. Rowanpaw half gasped, half chocked. Zinniapetal was antsy on her paws nearby. "Hollowpaw..." she hissed, a worried tone.
Indigoleaf smiled at Tigerfur. "Of course. Just a moment." She padded in Scorchfur's direction, pausing as her son spoke.
Galegust rolled her eyes at Scorchdust before responding to Bearpaw, "That is lovely, thank you." As the tom padded away, she said to the warrior, "I had new little ones to think of. I'm providing for the clan!" she reminded, holding her paw to her belly gently. "I lost four of my kits. I have to give the clan more warriors."
Darknight looked around the camp. "I know what some of you are thinking." His eyes settled on the sisters Warmglow and Inkshade, brother and sister Pinefrost and Coldsun, as well as Echoheart, and Scorchdust and Sunflare. Then over to his mother. "You hate me. Can't believe I've done this. Let me first explain, before you make up your minds," he requested.
Lilykit nodded frantically. "Tag, yeah, tag!" She ran forward, quickly tagging him with her paw. "You're it, you're it!" she giggled, rushing outside of the nursery into the open cave as she ran away.
As the group from the lower camp traveled, trudging through the marsh, things around them became quiet overtime; the moon was bright above them. Then, howling began in the distance. "Wha...What is that?" Brightpaw slowly questioned, fear beginning to perk up in her voice; she knew exactly what that was... "WOLVES!" a voice from the front of the group yelled after a short moment's pause.(I mean, I couldn't let the trip be easy, could I? OMG I'm so sorry Barky! Wow you're going to a lot of trouble to take care of him, though! Damn your a good mom! I am older than you and I sure as heck have no interest in taking care of a kid XD I like pets because they can't talk back hehe.)

Scorchdust shook his head bit said nothing, since there wasn't anything else to say that was ... friendly.
Coldsun had other plans, "do the clan a favor and take care of the ones you have first." The white warrior mumbled out of ear, though Pinefrost, still looking at Darknight as he spoke, jabbed a foot into his leg

Galegust didn't respond at all. Darknight, however, overhead, and growled at Coldsun. "I did not do this because Aurorastar is a bad cat," the former deputy began, otherwise ignoring Coldsun's remarks to his mate. "She is a good cat. And was once a good leader. Now, however, she has lacked in leadership. Her once firm paw has become weak; she lets any cats in that need a home, even if they offer no aid to our clan. I want CrystalClan to succeed, as I love my clanmates above all else. And, if that meant defying Aurorastar, then I was more than willing to do so." After a pause, he continued. "It has become clear that the spirits meant for us to do something; they would no longer communicate with us. They have caused many deaths; the fox attack that killed my daughter, the disappearance of Foxface, the shark attack, then the illness. It has become obvious that they wanted us to do something, but would not hand us the solution. So, I did the only thing I could as deputy to this clan: I created one."
