Tempestclan: The Wild and Restless Open

(I’ll have a post up in a few hours after I’ve slept some more! Work was killing me these past days. Welcome Rat and Ziotsu!)

(Ya I did a ton of reading the last pages so my post matched. Would hate to assume they weren't in the den and accidentally make Crowpaw blind to things in plain sight lol)

Crowpaw eventually padded back out of the den, glancing over to Spiderleap. "I didn't see them in there" He hoped that they were at least in camp, but short of checking every den, he had no way of knowing for certain. He couldn't think of what to do next, while waiting for either things to calm down or the fight to start. Instead, he sat down next to Spiderleap and finally asked something that he was curious about "Do you know what happened? I only heard about the rouges coming here, but I don't know what happened to make Wolfstar confident about it." He didn't know if Spiderleap would even have the answers he was looking for, but a warrior was more likely to know than an apprentice.

Blazestorm nodded determinedly at the leader's words. They wern't going to let those rogues drive them away from their home. He knew his clanmates were strong and they would protect eachother at any cost. The old battlewound had flared up after the run towards camp but he pushed the pain to the back of his mind. There was no time to worry about that now. The deputy kept to the center of the camp, ready to catch the first rogues that would breach through the cats that protected the entrance. This way he could easily oversee what was happening. He was proud to see his kits taking their places in the clan. Once they had been so tiny and now they were true warriors. They had been for a while but it still warmed his heart to see them like this, even though their relationship hadn't always been the best.

Scorchtail popped his head into the nursery, a soft green gaze glancing at the kits. "Are you okay Snowfeather?" He asked, trying his best to mask the worry that bubbled up inside of him. What if the rogues took their kits away? He wasn't sure if he'd be able to live with that. And what if something happened to Snowfeather?

--------------

Pearmoon mulled over what the best placement for her would be. She had to play into her strengths, which was being fast. "I'll protect the kits in the nursery with my brother. If the rogues come too close I'll rush the kits to safety." She meowed, that seemed to be a cut out job for her.

----------

Poppyfall stood at the entrance of the camp. Ready to hold her own against the first rogues that would come and ready to warn the rest of the clan if they did. She flexed her claws anxiously. She was glad most of her clanmates seemed confident; they really needed that confidence to get the upper paw on those fleebags. Though, she knew the rogues were stronger than they had shown and they should definitely not be underestimated. She glanced around for Thundershade, somehow the tom had crossed her mind in these worrying times. They had gotten pretty close since training together.

----------

Eaglepaw's mind had finally stopped racing and he'd given in to the deep sleep that took him. His chest rising and falling slowly, he didn't even dream. His tired body had craved some rest after the beating and it seemed like it just shut down for now. It needed time to heal, physically and mentally.

"Alright." Vicky nodded and sat down on her haunches, peering at the camp from where they were positioned. "They won't know what hit them." She whispered. The she-cat was proud at how fast they had been able to find the clancat's camp. Gail surely would be pleased about that.

---------

Gail walked over to Click when she spotted the determined old tom in the center. There was a lot of chatter around them, everyone eager to go off into a fight. "Click, are you fit to fight?" She asked rather directly. There was no need to beat around the bush. She wouldn't send a cat into the fight if they weren't up to it. "This fight is going to be fast, like a strike of lightning. We only need the mangepelt that killed Jax and to relieve some anger." She looked the tom up and down with her golden gaze.

Gail offered the tom a curt nod. “Good. That’s all I need to hear.” If the old tom wanted to fight, she wasn’t going to stop him. She turned her head to look at Rock who entered camp without Vicky and Pumpkin. “I think they did. I have to talk to Rock first, then I’ll announce our departure.” She meowed raising to her paws to meet up with the tom. Before leaving she turned back to face Click. “Click, I need you to watch Ollie. If he wants to fight, he can. But if it is too much for him I will need you to remove him from our attack.”

Spruceblossom unsheathed her claws. She flexed them at the ready as she began pacing in front of the nursery, making sure to cover ground towards the medicine den if need be too. She was eager to destroy these rogues today. They would pay and soon learn that she and her clan were not to be messed with.

Spiderleap offered a reassuring smile. "Like Crowpaw said, you can stick with us. We could even develop a group attack strategy, if it'd make you feel better." He looked back over to the camp entrance, worried they might be caught by surprise. "It'll be over before you know it, we're all a lot better trained than these rogues and we have each other's backs, thats more than I can say for any non-clan cat. And we outnumber them." That part he wasn't entirely sure about, but he doubted any rogue group that was larger than the clan would hesitate to simply drive them all out. These rogues waited until they had a reason to take on the entire clan. They weren't stupid. "And your father is an excellent fighter, I wouldn't worry about him one bit." Of course she'd be anxious for the tom, he was the only parent she had left.

-

Click nodded seriously. "Of course. I won't let him do anything reckless." Ollie wouldn't be able to overpower him even if he tried, so the tabby tom had no worries about being able to keep the grieving cat back. The poor thing. Speaking of...
"Ollie?" He called, standing and approaching the tom. "I've been told to stick with you for this fight, for both our sakes." Click wasn't exactly physically fit for this, and Ollie certainly wasn't emotionally stable enough to make smart decisions.

Crowpaw perked up with the mention of a battle strategy. "What did you have in mind?" he asked, growing a bit more excited as he glanced between Rainpaw and Spiderleap. He wondered if Sandfeather taught Rainpaw anything that he didn't know about. Slowly, the worries he had before about being able to fight well enough faded away. He was going to be fighting with Rainpaw and Spiderleap. What cat would be able to take on two apprentices and a warrior?

Xenia had returned to the camp after proudly catching a piece of prey quicker than she expected. It was a slow mouse, so she was able to just chase it till she caught up. She felt proud of herself, wondering if the mouse was just slow or if she was just getting faster. She really had no time to contemplate that, as soon after she returned to camp, she heard Gail make her announcement. Some clancat hurt Jax? Her eyes narrowed angrily. She wanted to find this cat, they hurt her family and they needed to answer for their crimes. She quickly set her prey by her nest, quickly turning around to take an open spot behind Rock.

IMALIVE FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF Please fill me in, and did Kestrelpaw die? I hadn't been able to log in for a month))All I see so far from skimming is that oakpaw and her brother got caught by the clan?)) I could say Kestrelpaw got kidnapped or something as planned but idk))

I feel like I’m interrupting but Drama Llama, also I can send a more serious character description if needed- not a problem at all! I couldn't find a application page sorry!
Name: Silverleaf (has been told her name should have been Stoneheart)
Physical Description: A small medium haired silver she-cat with dark stripes and pale green-blue eyes. She appears larger than she actually is due to her fur.
Age: 20 moons
Personality: Silverleaf is the definition of not judging a book by it’s cover. Due to her size and appearance, she is often misjudged for being shy and gentle, but she is known for being incredibly stoic and stern. She often keeps quiet but when she speaks up it is normally to voice her opinion- or to tell others why their opinion is wrong. While she does not like fighting- as it would get her coat dirty- she is quick to spring into action if she feels like herself or her clan is in danger. Uptight, stubborn and outspoken, she is often considered that cat that no one wants as a mentor- however, when she finds a cat that she is fond of, she has a mother-like demeanor. She will always expect the best from herself and her apprentice (as well as any other apprentice left in her care) but that is due to her wanting them to be able to achieve great things. High expectations, low interpersonal skills. Her charisma would be like a 2.
Rank: Warrior
Crush: none- very unlikely to ever have one
Mates: none
Family: open
Background: Clanborn and raised- Silverleaf was always known as an odd kit known for always seeking perfection. When she became an apprentice, she was so desperate that she over trained, resulting in her being unable to help when she and her mentor were attacked (for the sake of drama, she does not know what it was as she fell off a cliff). After recovering she was eventually able to become a warrior- however, she has blamed herself for the incident ever since. She still strives for perfection but not to the point of obsession.

(Thank you, it has been a long time since I rp'ed, or have even been in the Warriors fandom so please let me know if there are any issues. I will wait until I see a good opportunity to slip Silverleaf in or until someone is able to somewhat include her- just because it is a tense moment and I don't want to ruin it by just throwing her in there.)

Silverleaf sat as still as stone as she watched the other cats preparing; her eyes half-lidded as she attempted to relax. The air felt dense with anxiety- making her thick tail swish. She stood up and stretched, allowing her claws to unsheathe and dig into the earth beneath her. She knew that she and her clanmates have trained for today, and she was confident in their abilities. The rogues were clever- but she believed there was no way that they could measure up to her clan-nonetheless, she would not be showing mercy. As she walked across the clearing, her eyes settled on the nursery, seeing that it looked well protected, she moved towards the camp entrance; if she was required elsewhere then elsewhere she would go, but she would rather not have the clan caught off guard. She flicked her ear in greeting to Poppyfall before settling several tail lengths away, her eyes glued far beyond the entrance, tail wrapped around her feet. Despite her relaxed appearance, Silverleaf could feel her muscle tense up in anticipation.

(Sorry guys I’ll have a reply up later )

(I’m a little lost now haha need catching up XD)

Crowpaw took a quick look between Rainpaw and Spiderleap. He felt ready, but still was unsure on how they would fight together. The silence over the camp unnerved him. He was used to at least some conversation going, but now it was like starclan themselves were willing them to be quiet, and they all had to oblige. Crowpaw moved himself, a bit farther from where he was at but still squarely in front of the apprentice's den. With one final glance towards Rainpaw, he settled his eyes on the entrance, following the gazes of many of his clanmates who had done the same.

Xenia's heart was racing. She felt every step on the ground as if it was telling her heart the pace it should be going at. She wouldn't describe this feeling as pure excitement, it was a bit different. She also wouldn't say she was scared, she knew fear and this was not even close to the same feeling. She was ready to fight, not even a whisper of wanting to flee was in her. It was the first fight she ever felt this way, she felt she would be able to win if she gave her all in this state. She wouldn't hesitate, she wouldn't allow herself to.
