( Welcome Maeess ^^ ) "No problem. This is Tempestclan territory and.." Pearmoon trailed off in thoughts for a short moment. "You know what, I can talk to you but it's probably better if I escort you back to the border first." She meowed, even though she liked talking to other cats with different backgrounds she knew her clanmates didn't think that way. They'd probably rip this cat to shreds when they saw her in Tempestclan territory. "It's safer that way." She added and gestured with her tail for the she-cat to follow. ----- "I'll do it if it helps you. Maybe he just needs some time to get used to the idea." Scorchtail meowed and nuzzled her cheek. He didn't worry too much about Sparrow yet, the time he'd met the tom he seemed open to reason. But that was just a first impression. "Besides, who can say no to a charming face like mine?" He grinned and playfully stuck out his tongue. |

Pearmoon lead the way to the border. She nodded at Violet’s comment. “It is.” She smiled. “We’re a tempestuous bunch I guess. Just like the weather and the territory around here.” Her ears flicked as she made sure to be aware of any other cats around. “Why did you come out here, all alone?” The cream she-cat asked curiously, her kind green gaze resting on the she-cat.
———-
“That’s the most important of course. You’ll have to look at this face for a looooong time.” Scorchtail smiled and jumped after her, trying to swat at her tailtip with his paws. Mystic looked beautiful to him in the soft light that filtered through the trees. He’d never get bored of her face, he was sure of that.

Violet nodded her head. The explanation sounded about right. At the question, she thought, Because I have a job to do. To the she-cat, she mewed, “There’s no one else I know who would have joined me. I guess maybe loneliness was right up beside the curiosity.” She lowered her head to look and the ground and shook it. “I bet you’re never lonely in your clan.” She continued after a moment.
Mystic giggled at the red tom’s words, flicking her tail as he came after it. “Well in that case, you’re lucky it’s a handsome face,” she teased, trotting off a few paces. Mystic crouched down, waiting for him to get closer.

Snowfeather stopped for a moment as her kits move around in her belly. She feels a sharp pain and shudders for a minute before continuing forward. A part of her worried that her kits might be coming. Snowfeather takes a few deep breathes to calm herself down. Snowfeather could tell she was close considering Scorchtail's scent was getting stronger.
"Good idea." Wolfstar pauses for a moment to think. What kind of trap could they set? "We could lead them towards the Gushing River or towards a ravine." He suggested still unsure. "Or we lead them to a rockier part of the territory where a patrol is waiting to jump down and attack! Get them away from the border so they can't easily run back to the lake for help!"

“Not really, no. I wouldn’t like being alone. But I guess it could have it’s benefits.” Pearmoon meowed. As they reached the border she sat down on her haunches. “Don’t get lost again. Some of my clanmates would really hurt you.” She meowed, she didn’t always agree with the way her clanmates handled things - especially outsiders. They usually attacked right away. Which was understandable of course with everything going on.
———
“I surely wouldn’t have been able to woo a beauty like you with a less handsome face.” Scorchtail purred and circled around Mystic, waiting for her to make a move. His bushy tail swished playfully behind him. He had needed some lighthearted fun and Mystic seemed to know exactly how to get to his playful side. With his focus on the loner he had no idea of the Tempestclan queen approaching.
———-
Blazestorm nodded. “Yes, that sounds good. The gushing river can be a very slippery place when it rains, but that might be risky for our warriors as well. The ambush from the rocks sounds like it could be a solid plan. We could also dig some holes there to trip them.” This was a useful brainstorming session, Wolfstar had some great ideas. With that Blazestorm was sure their chances of beating the rogues would rise.

"For now let's stick with the ambush. I like your idea about digging holes. We could cover the holes with underbrush." Wolfstar could see warriors and apprentices pitching in to dig and cover the holes. This could be a solid victory for them. "Question is how do we lead them to the ambush and how many do you think we could lead?"

Violet grinned thankfully at the she-cat. “I’ll certain try my best. But they can’t all be bad, can they? I mean, you live with them and you aren’t that bad.” She flicked her tail teasingly behind her and stepped behind the borderline. Once on the “correct” side, she sat down as well, facing the cream-colored Tempestclan cat. “I don’t believe I caught your name,” she mewed, hesitant about giving her own. After a moment she decided it would be simpler to stick with her own name. “I’m Violet.”
Mystic shook her head at him and suddenly turned to barrel into him. As they rolled on the ground, she said, “I’m glad to know I’m beautiful. I was a bit worried for a second.” She opened her mouth in a wide grin, happy to be able to spend time like this, just messing around. After a moment of laying in the grass, she rolled onto her stomach, a concerned look in her eyes. “Do you hear that, Scorchtail?” She asked, turning her head to look at the red tom.

Snowfeather grows closer and sees Scorchtail and Mystic curled up together. She stares in shock before taking several steps back. Scorchtail was cuddling with a rogue? Is this why they broke up? She shuts her eyes and readies herself to just run away until sharp pain stops Snowfeather in her tracks. She stumbles to the ground and lays on her side. Oh Starclan not now!

“Exactly.” Blazestorm pondered for a moment at Wolfstar’s question. “Maybe we could lure them with warriors who taunt them? I’m not sure how many.. one of our biggest problems is that we don’t know their numbers.” The red tom meowed thoughtfully. “Do you think we should try to find out where their camp is?”
——-
Pearmoon chuckled and shrugged lightly. “They’re not bad at all. Just protective of our territory and out clanmembers.” She explained and curled her creamy tail over her paws. “Violet, that sounds nice. I’m Pearmoon.” The warrior introduced herself. She wasn’t sure what more to ask Violet, she was curious and she wanted to know more about her but she was a little wary as well. Should she just leave the she-cat here?
———
“Oh you really don’t have to worry about that.” Scorchtail chuckled as they had rolled over into the grass. At Mystic’s concerned tone his ears perked up and he tasted the air to find out who or what was making a sound. However, the wind blew away from them and he couldn’t easily make out Snowfesther’s smell. “Do you want to go look?” He asked, his gaze turning back to Mystic.

Violet nodded. “That’s understandable.” The idea that had been forming in her head felt complete now and she felt ready. Taking a deep breath, she mewed, “Do you think I could join Tempestclan? I don’t really want to go back to living alone now, but I understand if it isn’t an option.” She glanced up at Pearmoon, a curious glint in her eye. What would the she-cat say? What would Gail say when she found out? Would the white rogue agree with her decision? This was a risk, but she had a feeling it would be worth it.
Mystic grinned at Scorchtail’s words before nuzzling him and standing up. “I suppose we should.” She mewed and took a few steps toward where she heard the noise. As she got closer, she could smell a waft of Tempestclan coming from the undergrowth, not Scorchtail. Through the brambles, she could just make out a silver cat lying on the ground. With a gasp, she darted toward the she-cat, whisking her tail behind her. Once she made it to the she-cat’s side, Mystic saw that she was heavily pregnant. Could this be Snowfeather, Scorchtail’s ex-mate? And if so, what was she doing all the way out here?

“Hmmm I’m not sure. Maybe you could but I am in no position to decide about that though.” Pearmoon admitted and adjusted her paws under her. “Would you really want to make the step from being all alone to being with a bunch of cats all day every day? It would be a big change.” She meowed, she could imagine being alone would get boring but you had to be ready to work together to be part of a clan.
————
Scorchtail followed soon after Mystic and stopped abruptly when he saw Snowfeather lying on the ground before them. What was she doing here? Did she follow him? Horror washed over him as he realized she was in pain. “Snowfeather? What happened?” The red tom asked, worry lacing his voice. He glanced from the pregnant queen to Mystic, unsure what to do in this unexpected situation. What if something happened to the kits? Tempestclan camp was many taillenghts away. Feelings of stress and anxiety bubbled up inside of him.

Violet nodded her head, though inside she was definitely shaking her head. Joining the rogues had been one thing, but joining the clan was another. Would Gail take this well or would she think Violet was betraying them? Either why, she knew she had to be prepared. “I think I want to try it. Is there some sort of test I have to do to get in or what?” She twitched her tail, her nerves jumping inside her.
Mystic widen her eyes at Scorchtail’s words. This was Snowfeather. Silently, she backed up, a moment of awkwardness passing. Then, she stepped forward and crouched beside the queen. “Snowfeather, breath. Scorchtail, find someone who can help.” She didn’t know how else to handle the situation, but certainly she could help the pregnant she-cat until someone else took over.

Snowfeather whimpered as a contraction hit. "I=I came out here for a walk." She lied not wanting to admit that she follows Scorchtail. "M-My kits had other ideas." She shuts her eyes feeling scared and in immense pain. Snowfeather didn't hear what Mystic said to her.

Pearmoon shook her head. “I’ll have to discuss that with our leader.” The cream she-cat thought for a moment, she could try to discuss this with Wolfstar - they had taken in a few strangers after all. “I can’t guarantee he’ll say yes but I can try. You have to be very sure about it.” She meowed and gazed at Violet, her tailtip twitching lightly. Pearmoon didn’t mind helping the she-cat but there was no guarantee it would work. ——— Scorchtail closed his eyes for a brief moment, letting the awkwardness and the stress of the situation wash over him. He couldn’t dwell on it though, Snowfeather needed him to act fast and get the medicine cat. But then Mystic and Snowfeather would be together, what would Mystic think? And Snowfeather? He shook his pelt. “I’ll be back soon with help, don’t worry Snowfeather.” The red tom meowed, his gaze shifting from Snowfeather to Mystic. He was sure Mystic could handle herself in this situation, he quickly touched his nose to her flank before he rushed off towards camp to get Dappleleaf. Sprinting through the forest, jumping over twigs and past trees. What had Snowfeather really been doing there? She hadn’t just been going for a walk, so far away from camp? His mind raced with questions. As the large red warrior reached camp he called out. “Dappleleaf! Come quick! Snowfeather..” He trailed off to catch his breath. “Snowfeather is having her kits in the forest!” He looked worried and distressed. Not only was Snowfeather in danger but would Mystic be in danger too now his clanmates were starting to find out about her? He tried to push these thoughts to the back of his mind. The most important thing was the safety of Snowfeather and the kits right now. All the other things could wait. ( Maeess ) |

Violet raised her eyebrows. Of course she wasn’t sure about this. But it was her only plan at the moment. If she just ran off and came back again, being caught would be even more dangerous. “Yes, I’m sure. Take me to see your leader.” She meowed, standing up. If this worked, then she knew there would be no stopping the rogues.
Mystic studied the she-cat in front of her, watching as spasms hit the queen. Nuzzling Scorchtail on the cheek as he left, she moved around to face Snowfeather and mewed, “Snowfeather, you need to breath. Scorchtail is getting help, but right now you need to breath. You can do this. You are strong.” It was all she could to to help her. Though it calmed herself a bit too. Mystic had never seen a cat give birth, let alone help one. Taking a deep breath, she placed a paw on Snowfeather’s flank. She could feel many kicks; the kits were feisty.

(Don't worry about it!)
Pearmoon pulled back her ears. Take me to see your leader? She didn't like where this was going, Violet would have to be patient. The other warriors would tear her to pieces if she just marched into camp with a random loner. Especially after one of their own had been killed not too long ago. No, no, this was a bad idea. "I'm not going to take you to my leader." She meowed, making no effort to move. "I can take my leader to see you but you'll have to wait outside of the border for me to return with him." Her tailtip twitched softly on her paws.
-----
Scorchtail was glad Dappleleaf had ran off quickly to help Snowfeather. He flicked his ears at her last words. A stick.. Surely he could find a firm stick somewhere on the way to the she-cats. As he took the same path to walk back to the she-cats he frantically scanned the forest floor. A lot of simple twigs laid scattered, but they weren't strong enough.

Violet felt her heart sink when Pearmoon flattened her ears. Listening carefully and thinking for a moment, she mewed, “Oh um, I’m sorry. Yeah, I can stay here if it works better for you.” She sighed inwardly, cursing herself for speaking so freely. Of course she wouldn’t take a stranger straight toward camp. Though it was kinda disappointing as well. It would have made Violet’s job a lot simpler.
When Dappleleaf padded to Snowfeather’s side, Mystic darted off, unsure what to do. She knew Scorchtail had wanted to keep her more of a secret, but she wanted to make sure the queen was safe. Padding away until she was out of earshot, Mystic stopped to think. She sat down and pondered whether to go back and help, or stay here and wait for Scorchtail. If she did go back, would Scorchtail get in trouble? She had no idea and eventually she just settled down within a patch of brambles.

Dapple’Leaf had seen the rogue, but didn’t really bother. She kept treating the queen, patiently waiting for Scorch’Tail to return with a stick, but it seemed like he wasn’t in luck. “It’s okay, Scorch’Tail is getting a stick for you,” while she was waiting she parted her jaws to catch the rogues scent, in case she needed to recognize it sometime later. Oh Scorch’Tail, hurry with the stick! She was on the edge of panicking, but she kept her fur nice and flat, not wanting to scare the queen.

Snowfeather slowly opened her eyes and looked up at Mystic. For now, whatever thoughts or reservation she had about this rogue was going to have to wait. She takes a couple of deep breathes in an attempt to calm down. After a while, Dappleleaf appeared and she felt relieved. "It hurts!" She whimpered. (Wolfstar when he realizes that a rogue wants to join and Snowfeather gave birth in the woods:  ) |

( LOL poor Wolfstar, we're not making it easy for him! How many kits is Snowfeather going to have?)
Pearmoon nodded, feeling more at ease with this idea. "Alright, I'll see what I can do for you but I can't guarantee that he'll say yes." She meowed and raised to her paws. "What do you say if we come find you somewhere between today and tomorrow, at this place? I can't give you an exact time, it depends on how busy Wolfstar is."
------
Scorchtail had just gathered up a mouthfull of sicks, hoping some of them would be strong enough for Snowfeather to bite on. He quickly made his way back to where the queen was lying on the ground and placed the sticks near her. "I brought some sticks." He meowed sheepishly at Dappleleaf as he watched the situation unfold before him with his eyes widened. But where is Mystic? Had she run off because this was too much? A sigh of relief escaped his mouth as he picked up her smell, still nearby. It didn't matter right now that she was seen by his clanmates, he was grateful for her support. He wondered whether he should go up to her but Dappleleaf probably needed help with Snowfeather.

Violet took a moment to think, not really wanting to go back empty pawed. But she nodded her head anyway, raising to her paws as well. “Yeah, I’ll be around,” she mewed, taking another step back from the border. Wolfstar... that might be important. She thought, turning around and padding away into the undergrowth. Stopping when she was a few tree-lengths away, Violet turned and headed back to another spot on the border. She would follow Pearmoon all the way to the camp.
Mystic crept forward, moving closer to the scene she had left. She didn’t want to leave Scorchtail when Snowfeather knew about her. And she didn’t know if the other cat, Dappleleaf, had seen her, or questioned why she was there. What if the two she-cats questioned him once the kits had come? She sighed and came to a stop once she could see what was happening.

Pearmoon nodded, for some reason the she-cat gave her some off vibes. That could just be her imagination though, she wasn't really sure. She shook her pelt and turned around, heading for the bush she'd buried the mouse she caught earlier. She'd been gone for a while.. maybe she could try to catch one more piece of prey to bring back to camp.
-----
As Scorchtail watched Dappleleaf he also took a step back to not hang in Snowfeather's face, he'd probably be the last one she wanted to see now. Nervousness washed over him, would the kits be okay? And Snowfeather? What would Mystic think? This situation stressed the red tom out on many levels. What would Dappleleaf tell Wolfstar? Oh great Starclan, he hadn't even thought about yet. He uncomfortably flicked his ears on top of his head. This certainly wouldn't be a day to forget soon. His eyes scanned the undergrowth around him, hoping to catch a glimpse of Mystic. Once he noticed the faint outline of her frame about a taillength away his face softened. He needed to calm down and not overthink so much because both she-cats deserved him to handle this situation the best way he could. Scorchtail took a deep breath and shifted his gaze from Mystic back to Dappleleaf. "Is there anything more I can do to help?"

Pearmoon scented the air and swiftly followed her nose when she'd picked up the scent of a squirrel. Stalking after the ginger creature she was unaware Violet was following her again too. Bursting into a sprint she went after the squirrel, making sure it couldn't run up into a tree. She gave it a quick killing bite and triumphantly held her kill in her jaws.
------
Scorchtail nodded understandingly at the medicine cat. It was just waiting for now and giving Snowfeather the support she needed. He wasn't sure whether to ask Dappleleaf whether she wanted to tell Wolfstar about Mystic but he decided not to. This probably wasn't the right time.
