(Welcome back Hawk! malruth ｃ ｏ ｕ ｒ ａ ｇ ｅ are you guys doing okay? They haven't been here for like 3 months and I feel kinda bad progressing towards the big battle without them :c ) Scorchtail nodded, his bushy tail twitched behind him. “Alright, I’ll take you to see Wolfstar. I’ll tell him I encountered you in the woods and that you asked to join the clan. What do you think?” Ofcorse he couldn’t tell Wolfstar that he had been meeting with Mystic all the time.. That would surely be a recipy for disaster. But since Wolfstar had been accepting outsiders recently, why wouldn’t he accept Mystic? She had been helpful with Snowfeather’s birth as well. Scorchtail was sure there was a good chance he would accept Mystic. They’d deal with the few unhappy clanmates later. ------ “Good.” Gail watched the she-cat go. It was time to set their plans in motion and she couldn’t wait to get her paws dirty. The small steps they had made weren’t enough anymore. It was time to bring out the big stuff. An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth – it was time to kill one of theirs like they did to Cloudfoot moons ago. She couldn’t wait to have her revenge and this was only a small part of it. |

(Love the parallels between Mystic and Scorchtail vs Gail and Cloudfoot. Like how mad would Gail be when she learns how easily Mystic was accepted)
Thundershade scans the border but doesn't see anything unusual. He knew somewhere out there the rogues were most likely planning their next attack! "Looks all clear least for now." Thundershade wouldn't put it pass them to cross the border when no one was around.

(Ooooo yes, you’re right Hawk! Gail would be fuming if she hears about Mystic hehe.)
“Yeah. That should work.” Scorchtail nodded determinedly and gave Mystic a small comforting lick on her forehead. “If anything makes you uncomfortable, please tell me okay? I’ll try my best to make you feel at home.” He meowed and gestured for her to follow him as he padded into the direction of Tempestclan camp. His heart was beating anxiously in his chest. Surely Poppyfall and Snowfeather would have an opinion about this.. and Snowfeather could still out them to the clan. It was a risk he was willing to take though, where else could Mystic go?
-------------
Blazestorm gazed over the border for a short moment before ripping his gaze away. “It does. I wonder what they are doing back there. Plotting against us probably.” He gave hsis bushy red tail a quick lash as he turned around. “Let’s head back.” The deputy meowed and waited for the other warriors to be done leaving their scents. His mind raced with ideas. There had to be some way Tempestclan could get rid of the rogues once and for all. Maybe a few warriors should go over the border to find out where their camp was and have a peak at how many cats lived in their group. Because if they were outnumbered, it would be a big problem.

Thundershade follows behind Blazestorm taking one last look back to make sure no rogues were following them. He looks back and considers on what might happen next.

Scorchtail smiled softly. “I know you can handle it.” And he wasn’t lying, ofcourse Mystic could handle it. It was just a scary thought; her being judged by his clanmates. “I’ll have to dig up the vole I caught earlier to bring to camp.” He meowed and made his way over to a small bush where he’d buried the small rodent earlier. With a few quick swipes of his paw he revealed the prey and carried it in his jaws as he rejoined Mystic. After a few moments of walking they were nearing camp. His tail flicked nervously behind him. Hopefully they could make their way straight to Wolfstar.
------
Blazestorm lead the patrol back to camp, while keeping an eye out around them while they walked. Luckily there were no signs of the rogues along the way back.

Wolfstar stood on top of one of the buildings and looks around the camp. He was considering on where he ought to place guards and which parts needed fortifying. The sides and back of the camp was pretty bare. Perhaps, we can dig some holes and cover it with leaves. That way, if anyone did come charging into camp they would be stuck for a little while.

Scorchtail quickly dropped his prey on the pile as the pair stepped into Tempestclan camp. He’d noticed Wolfstar standing on one of the buildings. Glancing up he called for the tom. “Wolfstar, can I discuss something with you in the privacy of your den?” He asked, his eyes going from up there down to Mystic. He hoped she wasn’t nervous, he was somewhat nervous himself. As they waited for Wolfstar to descend he could aready feel the piercing eyes of some of his clanmates on their backs.
-----
Poppyfall was among the cats that noticed a stranger in camp, she wasn’t a total stranger though. She recognized the she-cat from earlier, when she assisted with Snowfeather’s birth. Why was she here? And why was Scorchtail with her again? It looked a little suspicious to her. Sitting down she curled her bushy red tail over her paws. Her tail softly rolled in and out as she watched the pair through narrowed amber eyes.

Wolfstar notices Scorchtail and the loner from before. Carefully, he climbs down from the building and starts heading towards his den. He silently hoped that the loner maybe had some dirt on the rogues. Anything could be useful right now. Once they were inside his den, Wolfstar sits down and curls his tail around his paws. "What did you want to talk about?"

Scorchtail followed Wolfstar into the leader’s den and sat down across from the gray tom. He dipped his head respectfully before he started his explanation. “I was out in the forest today and Mystic..” He gestured to the pretty she-cat. “..approached me to ask if she could possibly join Tempestclan. She was the one who also helped with Snowfeather’s kitting.” The warrior wasn’t sure whether to tell more, he didn’t know if Mystic wanted him to share that Sparrow was still out there. Besides, he didn't want to lie to Wolfstar; he was afraid the leader would ask them whether they've met before if he said more. He glanced over to Mystic, signaling for her to share her part with Wolfstar.

Wolfstar turns his gaze to Mystic and waits to hear what she has to say. He was hesitant but reasoned this could be a good thing. What he worried about more was about what his clanmates would think. Although, they put up with a Moss for the most part.

Wolfstar remains silent for a few minutes before finally speaking. "I want you to know that things wont be easy starting out at least. I have some layer of trust but many of my clanmates aren't the same. We are a cautious group and our quarrel with the rogues haven't made it any easier. Plus the weather here can get pretty crazy." He wanted to get all of this out of the way in case Mystic had any second thoughts.
Thundershade walks into the camp and looks around. He notices a few of his clanmates talking and eyeing Wolfstar's den. "What was going on?" He mumbled softly.

Scorchtail nodded at Mystic’s explanation, she worded it well. His green gaze shifted over to see Wolfstar’s reaction. The leader was right; it wasn’t always going to be easy if she wanted to live with the Tempestclan cats. To earn their trust and respect was hard work but he knew Mystic could manage that. She just had to be sure this really was what she wanted.
-------
Poppyfall noticed the black tom returning into camp. “Scorchtail brought in the loner from last time.” The red warrior explained to Thundershade, her tail twitching softly. She was curious to see what was going on with those two. “I wonder what they are talking about. Maybe she has some information about the rogues.” But to be honest, Poppyfall had a feeling she had more to do with Scorchtail then they lead the clan to believe.

"If you are sure about your choice then I welcome you to Tempestclan. Feel free to make yourself familiar with the camp. Tomorrow, I will assign you a warrior to show you how clan life works." Wolfstar rises to his full height and looks at Mystic and Scorchtail. "When the time is right, I will assign you a warrior name and you will truly be one of us." Wolfstar starts walking towards the entrance but pauses before leaving. "However, should this all be some ruse planned out by the rogues than well..." He lets his words hang in the air before leaving. (Just a little dramatic flair lol)
"Hopefully." Thundershade muttered though he wondered how the patrol missed the rogue. They must have passed them or were way ahead of them. "Anything to give us the upper hand right?"

(heheh love it)
Scorchtail’s heart fluttered at Wolfstar’s words; Mystic was allowed to stay! He didn’t know he had felt so tense but right now he felt a whole lot more relaxed, like a weight dropped off his shoulders. It was a great feeling and one step in the right direction to always be by her side. The red tom dipped his head respectfully to the leader, making his best effort to hide his excitement. He wasn’t worried about Wolfstar’s last words, he fully trusted Mystic. After the leader left his happy green gaze shifted over to the pretty she-cat, he smiled broadly at her. “That went well.”
------------------
Poppyfall nodded. "Starclan knows we need everything we can get our paws in to defeat those fleebags." She gave her tail an annoyed lash. "Did you come across anything interesting during the patrol?" Her amber gaze rested on the black tom.

Thundershade shakes his head. "No it was all normal if you can believe it." He mewed shaking his head. Thundershade found it odd how the rogues could hide their scent when they needed to. "We will get them though!"

“Those are the best words I’ve heard today.” Scorchtail purred as he rubbed his cheek to hers. This was a step closer to the perfect life. “Now let’s get you a piece of prey from the pile to celebrate.” He smiled and glanced over to the entrance of the den, before returning his green gaze to look at the she-cat. “Are you ready to face your new clanmates?” The warrior had to admit, he wasn’t too keen on facing their stares but he hoped they’d get used to the newest member soon.
-----------------
Poppyfall nodded at Thundershade’s determined words. “We have to. It’s us or them at this point.” She watched Wolfstar exit from his den, the leader didn’t seem to be dissappointed but she couldn’t quite read on his face what might had been going on with the loner. “Do you know what Wolfstar is planning to do?” She asked, turning her attention back to the black tom.

Mystic grinned warmly before following Scorchtail’s gaze. She hadn’t eaten since that morning, but she wasn’t too sure about her new clanmates. She lowered her gaze in thought. She couldn’t stay in this den with Scorchtail forever, could she? Taking a deep breath, she nodded slowly. “I think so.” The gray and white she-cat stood up and took a few steps toward the entrance, but paused. She took another breath before walking out of the den and looking around.
Violet yawned. Her nap had granted her plenty of energy and now her paws were itching to move. Standing up, she walking into the sunlight and dipped her head to Gail as she padded out of camp. Breaking into a run, she bounded through the forest in the direction of the Tempestclan border. As she reached it, she slowed and glanced around. The nearly black she-cat didn’t notice any cats nearby, but she scented the patrol that she had followed earlier. Tracking the scents back to the camp, she crouched in the brush that surrounded it and peered inside. She noticed the leader exiting his den and two other cats following him who looked familiar. She recognized them from earlier; the she-cat had had the scent of a loner. So how come she was here?

Wolfstar climbs up to the railing and raises his voice to speak. "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey, join me for a meeting!" He called out. As they gather, he takes a moment to collect his thoughts and prepare for whatever reaction they might have to the news.
"Blazestorm said he had a plan." Thundershade said. He was going to explain further but Wolfstar called a meeting. Time to see what he had to say. "Um want to join me?" He asked feeling nervous all of a sudden.
Snowfeather pulls herself away from kits and settles just outside the nursery. She was still a little sleepy but wanted to hear what Wolfstar had to say in case it was important.

Scorchtail had followed closely behind Mystic, emerging from the leader’s den. His ears perked up as Wolfstar called a clan meeting. It was probably to announce their newest member. He lead Mystic to a place nearby where they could sit down to listen to the leader. His green gaze scanned the cats around him, catching their curious and wary gazes.
-----
Blazestorm settled down nearby Wolfstar, waiting to hear what it was that the leader was going to announce. His eyes fell on the unfamiliar shape of the loner in their midst. Why was she here.. again? His bushy red tail swished softly behind him and his gaze narrowed thoughtfully.
----
“Ah, that’s good.” Poppyfall replied softly and turned to look at the clearing that was filling up with their clanmembers. She nodded at the black tom, she didn’t mind sitting with him. It was nice to have some good company and hopefully Wolfstar’s announcement would be a perfect addition to their conversation. She hoped the gray tom would share his plans with the clan but she was sure he needed to adress the loner too.
-----
Pearmoon sat down near Snowfeather, giving her a friendly nod. She had spotted Mystic in the crowd, she hoped the she-cat would stay in Tempestclan. Scorchtail had never looked happier. Though, she hoped Snowfeather wouldn’t be too hurt. She could imagine this would sting.. now she’d have to look at the two of them every day.
----
Shellkit had woken up by the absence of her mother's warmth. It seemed like a perfect moment to crawl around and take in her surroundings. With her tiny paws she pawed her way to the edge of the nest, placing an unsure white foot on the ground. She glanced back over to her siblings, a little unsure about what she was doing.
(I'll just pretend the kittens eyes are open and stuff so they are rp-able ;p )

Mystic followed quickly after Scorchtail, sitting beside him with her tail neatly wrapped around her paws. She tried to avoid everyone’s curious gazes, but she could feel her fur prickling. Her green eyes looked up at Wolfstar, admiring how he stood up in front of the crowd. It seemed scary living with so many cats at once, but, then again, she knew that was mostly because she had been alone with Sparrow for most of her life. The Tempestclan cats might think it scary to be all alone as well.
Sparrow stood up from his nap, giving himself a short wash before stepping out of the siblings’ den. Well, it wouldn’t be their den anymore. Since Mystic had run off with that Tempestclan tom, Sparrow had decided that he didn’t want to live in the den they had shared. Instead, he was going to take Gail up on her offer of staying at the rogue’s camp. Padding through the forest, his tail waving behind him, the gray tom couldn’t help but feel guilty. He was the reason Mystic had decided to leave.
Ivykit mewled as his sister left his side, realizing that his mother had left too. He blinked open his eyes and bounced up. He gave a startled yelp as he rolled from the nest. Shaking himself, he giggled and bounded after Shellkit, pushing pasted her and out into the camp. For a moment, he blinked in the sunlight. The world was so big! Wide eyes staring, he gazed around the camp.

"I have a special announcement to make." Wolfstar said before glancing down at Mystic for a moment before looking back at his clanmates. "I want to welcome the newest member of Tempestclan." He motions with his tail to Mystic. "Mystic has decided to join the clan." At the mention of her joining, maybe of his clanmates started muttering and voicing their disapproval. Wolfstar allowed this for a few minutes before lifting up his tail. "I understand your concerns but I believe she will be a valuable member of our clan."
Falconfrost pins his ears back and lets out a low growl. How many more of these outsiders was Wolfstar going to allow into the clan? What if she was some kind of spy?
Thundershade felt rather conflicted. Sure the loner helped Snowfeather but was letting her into the clan the right thing to do? He glances over at Poppyfall to see her reaction.
Snowfeather felt time freeze. The loner was going to be joining the clan? She shakily rises to her paws and takes a couple of steps back in disbelief. Was this Scorchtail's plan all long? So many emotions swirled through her that she was starting to feel dizzy and sick.
Rosekit eagerly follows after her siblings and blinks as she leaves the safety of the nursery. There were so many new scents and smells!

Scorchtail flattened his ears against the voices of disapproval of his clanmates, taking a deep breath and closing his eyes for a heartbeat. He didn’t want to lose his temper and bring Mystic into an uncomfortable position. She was more than able to stand up for herself, he knew that. It just irked him that his clanmates didn’t even give her a chance before disapproving. He gently touched his tailtip to Mystic’s for a brief moment to let her know he was there to support her.
-----
Poppyfall’s tail swished back and forth over the forest floor behind her at the raised voices of her clanmates. She could see where they were coming from but it wasn’t like she had anything against the new she-cat. Ofcourse it was a good thing to have more members, especially now that a battle with the rogues seemed inevitable. But would she fit in with their rules and way of life? Would she be loyal? The path of a warrior – a Tempestclan warrior – was not for everyone. She met Thundershade’s gaze, who seemed to feel conflicted as well. Her gaze had lingered on the tom for a moment when she tore it away to look up to Wolfstar. Standing up she raised her voice. “Will she be taking a warrior name as a vow of her loyalty to Tempestclan?” The warrior asked, it was important for them to be able to trust Mystic and maybe this was a way of calming everyone down.
-----
Pearmoon could see Snowfeather’s face crack beside her. She moved to her side, supporting the silver she-cat with her shoulder. Her tail rested gently on Snowfeather’s back, hoping to offer her some comfort after Wolfstar’s news. “Are you okay?” She asked, her green gaze showing worry and compasion for the queen. Pearmoon felt conflicted too, but only because she liked both she-cats. She wanted to stay friends with them. Though, she wasn’t sure if that was going to be an option.
----
Shellkit soon trotted after her siblings, giggling as the light from outside their den hit their pelts. It was so bright and new. And so many cats were around them! She could make out a few familiar shapes but it was quite overwhelming. Her green eyes blinked slowly as she took everything in.
----
Gail had been discussing some plans with Smoke for most of the morning and now she had some free time to enjoy that fat mouse she had been craving all day. Her mind was full with new ideas but she grew frustrated with talking. Soon it would be time to put action to their words.

Mystic flatted her ears and glanced at the ground, pulling her tail tight around her paws. She didn’t like how disapproving every cat was when they didn’t even know her. Was this how the rest of her life would go? At Poppyfall’s words, she looked up at the red she-cat. The suggestion of a new name had concerned her. She loved her name. It reminded her of her adventures with Sparrow. Mystic could feel her spirits dropping, unsure now if this was a good choice. “I don’t want to change my name,” she whispered to Scorchtail. “But if that’s how I’ll earn their trust...” She sighed.
Sparrow could feel his tail and head droop as he neared the rogue’s camp. Pushing through the undergrowth, he glanced around half-heartedly for Gail. Spotting her eating a mouse, he slowly padded over to her and plopped himself down beside her. “It didn’t go well,” he mewed simply, keeping his eyes on the ground.
Ivykit blinked for a moment more in the sunlight before glancing around. Off to the side, he could see his mother and some other cat. Grinning, he trotted in front of the silver tabby, but paused when he saw her face. Tilting his head, he asked, “Mommy? What’s wrong?”
