(( Jekyll could Fallendew respond to Creekstar? That way they can come out and meet Eagle and Willow. ))

FallenDew looked at CreekStar before nodding slowly. "I spoke with BoulderStep... he told me what I believe is a prophecy." She then stood and shook her, trying to get the crawling feeling that the words had caused to go away before sitting back down. "What did you learn?"

The dark tom all but leapt out of his fur when he learned that it was in fact not some cruel prank, and he leapt to his paws and was circling his mate in an instant. Crowding her a little as he covered her smaller frame in nuzzles, his tail twitching in delight. A purr rumbling from his throat that echoed across the steppes the clan found themselves on, "Kits of our own!" he all but squeaked with absolute astonishment mixed with delight. "I can't believe it."

"Well I met with Poppystar and she said to follow the path of the water to where it falls, listen to the Eagle for it will lead to where you can build a legacy for all..", Creekstar paused for a second as he was still trying to decipher the riddle. "I know we need to follow the river, but which way? In our territory the river forks and she didn't say specifically which fork to take." The clan leader was unsure, and the last thing he wanted to do was to lead his clan down the wrong branch of the river.

FallenDew nodded slowly, processing the words before sighing. "I don't know what the eagle part means but I also got a prophecy. BoulderStep told me 'When peace is near a cat will fear. Watch the water that pools into the lake, for it will split one into two.' What do you think it means?" She shuffled her paws slightly, the words causing odd thoughts in her.
--
PoolingWater laughed lightly, standing to brush her fur with her mates as a soft purr emitted from her throat. "This is great. You'll be such a wonderful father WolfShadow, I know you will." She nestled her face into his chest fur, wanting nothing more than to feel his presence bu her and to record his scent so she could never forget it.

(Yeah sounds good)
Mosspebble had gone out to get some air away from the others, but her hair bristled at the scent of unfamiliar cats, as well as Leopardfrost. She followed the scent quietly, eventually spotting her clanmate's familiar shape. Padding towards him, she eventually saw the two other cats with and approached with caution. "Leopardfrost?" she called, her eyes narrowing at the new cats. "What's going on?"

Creekstar sat there for a couple of moments thinking hard about it. "It sounds as if something will divide. Maybe Starclan will continue to reveal the answers to both soon", the clan leader meowed still thinking hard about it all. "Let us return to the clan, and sleep on it. Just if anything arises that you think answers them we will speak to each other." With that said he turned and started to head out of the cave.

FallenDew nodded but did not move. "CreekStar, I wish to sleep in the Star Cave tonight. I do not know when we'll be this close to our ancestors again." She turned and padded around the camp before finding a small cleft dug out if the side of the wall and laying in it. She curled up, laid her tail over her nose, and was asleep within minutes.

Leopardfrost listened to what Eagle said and he couldn't help but nod. "Yes we lived in the forest as well, but the wolves have taken over our lands causing us to leave as well." After a second the tom let his aggressive stance fade away as he flattened the fur on his back, however he kept his eyes vigilant towards the unknown cats. "Well this place is safe from the wolves for now. If you wish to stay here for the night you must speak with out leader. We have a common enemy, I would hate for another cat to fall victim to those beasts." (I hope that this is still relevant, LOL.) Eagle nodded. "Okay then. I'll speak with your leader as soon as they are available." He glanced over his shoulder, sighing as he noticed that Willow was still cowering behind a thorn bush. "Come here, Willow," He called out towards her, and waited patiently as the she-cat cautiously came up to him, burying her face in his shoulder fur.

"Very well", Creekstar meowed to the medicine cat and then followed the dark narrow path up and out of the cave, to where the rest of the clan had taken shelter. It was not until he started looking around for Soaringflower did he realize what was happening. They were all on high alert and his mate was protectively in front of Ivysong and her kits. "What is going on?", he asked her as he quickly approached the two queens and the apprentices.
Leopardfrost was happy to see Mosspebble and have some support. "These two cats are also fleeing the forest because of the wolves. They are seeking sanctuary for the night and wish to speak with Creekstar", the white and dappled tom meowed to his clanmate. "Could you go get him? With the clan on such high alert I do not wish to panic them by bringing strangers into the camp without the permission of Creekstar", he added looking back at Eagle and Willow as she came out of the bushes to join her friend.

Not letting her guard down even as her mate approached, the calico twitched her golden tipped ears in the direction of the stranger. Her long tail flicking from side to side as she let out an uncomfortable growl, "There are strangers in the camp," she explained firmly. It was apparent the young queen wasn't comfortable with the loners in camp when there were new kits around, she was on edge.
Nettlemask had followed his leader and medicine cat back to camp at an impatient pace, his long tail flicking in the wind until they had at last made it back and bounded over to his mate and kits without as much as a passing glance at the strangers, or even seeming to notice they were there. He settled beside her with a lick between his ears, but it was only then that he noticed something was off. He let out a growl, taking stance beside the other queen. "What's going on?" He's ears were flat to his skull

"Strangers?!", Creekstar said with alarm and instantly headed off towards the path that led out of the camp where the strangers had been stopped by Leopardfrost. Quickly bounding down the path the clan leader finally came upon Mosspebble, Leopardfrost and the two strangers. "What is going on?!" he demanded wondering why the white tom had not chased the two away.
Ivysong started to purr comfortingly when her mate arrived with Creekstar and the longhaired tom came up to her. "Leopardfrost had given a yowl from the foot of the path signaling that there was danger. Apparently he has stopped two strangers on the path", Ivysong informed her mate as she used her paw to pull Wildkit closer to her, for she had rolled away from her in her sleep.
Just as Leopardfrost had finished asking Mosspebble to go get Creekstar, the clan leader came bounding up behind them. Blinking at Mosspebble thankful for her presence just in case there was a battle, the warrior turned to his leader. "These two cats are looking for sanctuary for the night. They are also fleeing the forest to escape from the wolves. That is Eagle and Willow", the tom used his tail pointing to each in turn as he introduced them to Creekstar.
Creekstars ears instantly perked up when he heard that the strangers name was Eagle. His piercing pale green eyes quickly scanned the tom over curiously as the prophecy that he had just received repeated in his mind. 'Could he be the Eagle that Poppystar was speaking of?' the tom quickly thought. Stepping forwards and standing in front of Leopardfrost to be directly in front of the strangers he looked directly at Eagle and spoke. "You are fleeing from the wolves as well?", he questioned.

Leaning down to nose his mate and the kits at her belly, he said with a firm voice to Soaringflower, "Keep them safe," and then was racing to stand at his leader's side. Intent on chasing these strangers out if that's what it took to protect his newborn litter of kits, his long tail lashing from side to side as he went. He glanced with uncertainty at the newcomers, keeping his ears carefully twitched in the direction of his kits and their mother, in case some cruel ambush attack was around the corner for them.

"Hmm," though Nettlemask's tone was far from friendly it wasn't necessarily aggressive either. He didn't want strangers around his kits, the simple matter of fact was that he didn't trust these newcomers. But he deferred to his leader, only hoping the older tom would throw these strangers out on their tails and politely request that they never come inside a thousand fox-tail radius of him again.

"Do you know where you will go come tomorrow morning?", Creekstar asked inquisitively. Something about the timing of this tom showing up right after he had his dream from Starclan made him think that this wasn't just a coincidence. In his mind this was fate. Creekstar felt his deputy at his side and knew the tom wasn't too happy about the strangers, and normally he would be either but he felt as if Starclan some how guided them here to Hollowclan.

Creekstar eyes widened and he turned to look at his deputy for a brief moment before looking back at Eagle. "Why don't we go find a place to talk out of the blistering wind and our hunting patrols we're very such this evening. Im sure we can at least spare a mouse or two." He then turned to Mosspebble and Leopardfrost. "Will you two please escort them to a sheltered area away from the clan. Nettlemask join me to get them something to eat", the clan leader meowed having intentions of telling his deputy about the words of Poppystar and that he thought that having these two cats join them was vital for the clans survival.
Leopardfrost nodded and looked to Mosspebble and let her lead the way so he could bring up the rear. He wasn't sure what was going through his leaders head but he trusted him to make sure to put the clan first.

Nettlemask nodded his head firmly, though put off by the idea that they were going to accept these strangers so willingly into camp, the large tom lifted himself to his paws and followed his leader to the fresh kill pile. Tail twitching a little in frustration but he managed not to seem too outwardly frustrated. He looked to his leader with an uncertain look, "Are you sure this is a good idea?"

Mosspebble listened to her leader respectfully. She was still unsure about these cats, but would obey her leader and respect his judgement. She carefully did as Creekstar ordered, taking the lead and quietly did the duty assigned to her.

Creekstar waited untill him and Nettlemask were out of ear shot before he spoke. "When I spoke with Starclan earlier Poppystar spoke and told me to listen to what the eagle had to say, and that it would guide us to where we are supposed to go." The clan leader spoke softly to his deputy sure that no one would over hear them as he picked out a good sized mouse. "I did not understand what she meant by this but now I think I do. I believe Eagle will guide us to where Hollowclan can find a safe home."
Creekstar was not only speaking to Nettlemask as his leader but as his friend as well. Not only did he need his deputies support but the clans as well. First and foremost however he would need the support of his deputy, and then the rest would follow. He knew that this was a long shot but the clan had no where else to go. Creekstar felt as if this was the only safe option, instead of them roaming aimlessly throughout the land.
~~~~~~~~
"Follow Mosspebble", Leopardfrost meowed to Eagle and Willow as Creekstar and Nettlemask went to go and fetch some prey. The warrior knew that his leader and deputy were taking the chance to discuss their options, he just hoped that they would make a good decision.

Leopardfrost followed after the two cats closely, making sure that if they were to venture towards the clan he could steer them away. Reaching a good spot he sat down a tail length away from them not wanting to be two close nor to far.
OOC: just kinda waiting for @stormpetal to reply for Nettlemask so I can have Creekstar go back over there.

Sunfeather watched the newcomers curiously. Moving close she sniffed them from afar before cautiously approaching. "Are you two going to join us?", She questioned Eagle curiously. She assumed that they were fleeing the territory for the same reason the clan was.
