GATHERING 6/6 - 6/13

[IVY AND SKY.]

The order of arrival for the gathering is rather random this time. Last time it was simply by clan order with Shadowclan and Windclan transposed. Well this time; we have a new order and a new clan cat leader. This is going by census; not by the ammount of bios there are made. The order is SHADOWCLAN, RIVERCLAN, THUNDERCLAN, WINDCLAN. Thunderclan and Windclan are tied, but Thunderclan is more active of the two; and so they are going first. Thanks to all that post. NOTE ;;

LEADERS ;; MUST POST AT LEAST FIVE TIMES. WITH ANNOUNCEMENTS AS WELL AS ENTRANCE AND A FEW IN BETWEEN THAT ISN'T HARD.

DEPUTY ;; THREE POSTS AT LEAST.

MEDICINE CAT AND MEDICINE APPRENTICE ;; MUST POST AT THREE TIMES.

OTHER ;; ALL CATS MAY COME TO THIS MEETING.

xx. stars sparkled like diamonds against the black velvet sky. the moon was missing; absent from the night sky. a new moon and another gathering. that was all it symbolized for this shadowclan female as she walked through the undergrowth. she heard the excited cries of a gathering around her. her clan loved gatherings because it was another place for them to tease another clan for their weakness.

xx. thorns caught on her pelt as she shouldered her way through; leaving her scent behind as well as a few black tufts of fur. in contrast to her bodice; her emerald orb sparkled. but then its color died away behind her black eyelid. her bright pink nose twitched as her white whiskers flicked back and forth at the ends. flutterstar was the absence of beautiful. she was a stunning she-cat and knew it; but she was not beautiful.

xx. no other clan had arrived yet; which gave her the ivory stone to herself. but she didn't care because she didn't want the ivory stone at all. her muscles tensed as she neared it and a sudden glimpse of red caused her to slide to a halt. she stared at the ground in front of her; mesmerized by what she saw. or what she thought she saw. her paws were tainted red around the bottom and the grass in front of her was covered in blood.

xx. a cry and a scream sounded in the clearing around her and she spun quickly; only to see a few curious eyes from her clan staring at her. she blinked and shook her head before spinning; casting her gaze toward the ground and blinked. it was green; covered in dew and sparkling beautifully. she tilted her head with a confused look but ignored it after that.

xx. she didn't consider it a possibility of it being from starclan. she had never believed in the clans starclan but was beginning to after losing her first life and being brought back. the pain that sank through her reminded her of that night. he is dead. she reminded herself a thousand times as the dark red blood flooded her view from the memory.

xx. as quickly as her hallucination has started; it stopped again and her emerald eye became peaceful as she leaped onto the ivory rock. her muscles bunched and coiled before uncoiling as she reached the top. a flash of blood caused her to skid to a halt and practically rolled off the ivory stone as she landed.

xx. she took her spot where she once had at the previous gathering. alone and off to the side. she left blood tracks on the stone from where her pads had skidded and torn. she walked gingerly as she sat down; licking them quietly. patchfur didn't need to worry about her. she would hide it as best as she could from the other leaders. but the paw prints of blood would give it away. she didn't care though. that was the way it would work.

Silverpelt twinkled brightly with millions of seemingly tiny stars. The absence of the moon made the clearing darker than it would be if the moon were full. The warm night breeze buffeted the silvery brown fur of Ghoststar, leader of Riverclan. He trotted through the forest, his clan following close behind, and when he reached the clearing, he noticed Shadowclan had already arrived. With a quick flick of his tail, Riverclan poured into the clearing. He made his way over to Ivory Stone. Bunching his muscles up and loosening them, he jumped upon the large rock and placed himself next to Flutterstar. He glanced at her and nodded in greeting.

"Greetings, Flutterstar. Lovely night, is it not?"

He averted his gaze downward and saw tracks of blood on the rock that led to where Flutterstar was sitting. He looked at her curiously. Ghoststar decided he wouldn't ask her anything about it. Her being a Shadowclan cat, she might snap at him or give him some smart remark. He sat and patiently waited for the other clans to arrive.

The night truly was gorgeous. And, the thought of anything beautiful made his own thoughts stuck on Iceheart. She was absolutely lovely and he wanted her to be his mate. Everything about her attracted him to her. She was feisty and not afraid to speak her mind. He smirked at the thought of the white she-cat and sighed blissfully. He glanced around the clearing, searching for her. When he spotted her, he got the urge to run down to her and talk to her. But, he would not do so until Flutterstar had acknowledged him. He waited impatiently, his paws itching to move towards the gorgeous femme.

xx.whatever the riverclan leader was looking at when he reached the ivory stone; it annoyed her. flutterstar curled her tail around her paws and thought of the other clan's demise. a snicker invaded the silent air around her. as soon as it had started it had stopped abruptly after and with a smirk; she ignored her fellow leader. this leader meant nothing to her. neither did any of the other leaders.

xx.elegent pools of blood began to form beneath her feet. she lifted her paws and licked at it; wincing occasionally as the pain overflowed each time. her sandpaper tongue didn't help the pain but she continued to lick the so they would not become infected. whatever you are staring at; would you go talk it before you fall off the ivory stone.

[/color] she spat toward the riverclan leader. she was madly in love too; but you didn't see her practically falling off the ivory stone to get a good look at him.

xx.dark feelings caressed her mind as she sat in solitude. she loved the feeling of being alone now-a-days. and tomorrow... or some day in the near future; she would be able to apprentice her kits. but then she realized with the numbers; there would have to be two apprentices to some of the younger warriors. they would be able to handle their energy better than the older warriors would. she sighed softly. her family was too soon. she hadn't wanted one but she wouldn't... no she couldn't let her kits end up like she had.

xx.other than riverclan and shadowclan; the other two clans had yet to arrive. flutterstar didn't want to be first to arrive; but with what had happened when she had arrived she was glad she was the first. no one could watch her except for her clan. and it didn't matter what they thought because she was their leader. her long tail curled around her paws as she watched the white paws stain red. she didn't really care though. she loved watching herself bleed and even more loved to watch another cat bleed.

xx.no matter how hard she tried to change her past; the instincts came back. she had trained to be the way she was; to kill the way she did. she had been taught to not give a care in the world; that it was easier that way. her kits would be murderers. they had the genes to and it didn't matter if she hid it from them or not. she knew toxickit would... no doubt about it. she knew that storykit would get over her fears and she too would be a murderer. even little stainedkit; who had been the sweetest and most timid kit of the litter was beginning to show signs of toughening. and she would just have to wait for them to fully emerge.

xx.tufts of fur fluffed from the she-cat when she shook her pelt. she glanced at them before batting at them with a low growl. her claws shred them into even smaller tufts and they floated down from the ivory rock in the faint breeze. this moonless night relaxed her and she finally just closed her eyes. silence... perfect.[/blockquote][/blockquote]

[atrb=border,0,false][bg=021130] » just the thing iceheart needed - a full moon party. wasn't it bad enough that cats had to patrol borders, lunging at one another's necks if they were even the least bit suspected to be stealing prey? a peaceful gathering of the clans was a mousebrained decision - who was the mousehearted fool who decided that it was okay and proper to talk everything out, to discuss everything with a cat who would be the very bane of her existance the next day? if she wouldn't be exiled on the spot (more like reprimanded or barely even punished - ghoststar would never exile his lovely deputy) she would have started a bloody brawl moons before in this very territory. that wouldn't end well and her name would go down in history as villain - but hey, it was fun to start fights and point paws. she wandered in after the majority of her clanmates, making her way over to the gathering of leaders and deputies - or lack of gathering. she saw flutteredstar, the oh so dear shadowclan leader, and ghoststar, who was mooning over her as if he had never seen one quite so beautiful as her. resisting a snarky comment as it bubbled in her throat, she padded over. seeing no harm in doing so, she completely avoided the spot where the deputies gathered, sitting alongside ghoststar, brushing against him slightly as she landed near him, a small smirk on her maw. he would probably go crazy over that - he looked like a deer in a monster's eyes, but more pleasant and dreamy looking. a sickly-sweet purr rumbled in her throat. "hello, ghoststar. nice day, is it not?" her eyes wandered towards the shadowclan leader, observing the one-eyed wonder carefully. she noticed the blood on the leader's paws, pondering if it was some other unfortunate cat or the leader's own blood. probably the former - whatever cat was stupid enough to go near that she-cat without a truce over their head was strange and probably a bit less than sane. and iceheart had no trouble voicing those thoughts, letting her eyes trail noticeably toward flutterstar's paws. she could say as many cruel things as she wanted to say to the femme as she wanted to - it wasn't as if she could lash out. perhaps in the morning, but not now. not if flutteredstar wanted to keep every clan's respect... "nice paws, flutteredstar. been cleaning them lately?" a small grin crept upon her face. "or are you too busy to do that?" ooc <3 iceheart's probably gonna start a fight if she keeps on being so... meanie. word count 419 muse DECENT song N/A

Adderstar padded silently and swiftly through the thin forest that grew on the WindClan side of fourtrees. The leader was actually smaller than most of her warriors, and if it weren't for the dattlescars, the rugged lean muscles and the wise impatience in her bright yellow eyes, one might have thought she was an apprentice. This was the new leader's first gathering as the leader, but she wasn't in the least apprehensive. Her deputy Skyseer was by her side and her clan was at her back.

The darkness did nothing to mask the new WindClan leader's sparkling eyes. Each seemed to be a miniature sun in her head. Her eyes seemed extra large for such a small cat. She stopped and sat at the edge of the clearing, sitting down and passing her tongue over her chest. Not many cats knew she was the leader, perhaps she could use that to her advantage this once. With a loud wordless yowl Adderstar jumped up and flicked her tail forward, signaling her clan to enter the clearing. She let the other cats surround her and raced into the middle of the clearing without being noticed.

ShadowClan and RiverClan were already at the gathering, and with WindClan, that meant they were only waiting for ThunderClan. Adderstar didn't see many cats that looked like they could give any information. Perhaps next gathering she should tell the apprentices to keep their ears open for any information. She didn't trust the other clans, especially ShadowClan. There was something about them, especially when she scented them on her border. Anyways, the new leader decided to join the other leaders, an impish smile gracing her lips. Would they protest? After all, she was rather small. Which would be the one to bring up her pet peeve? Adderstar's glowing yellow eyes sparkled in the night.

[~*Bright*~]

Spiritgaze


The silver-and-black tabby tom padded through the clearing. The shine of the full moon making his fur glow in the eerie white, like it normally does at night. His bright yellow eyes shifting from side to side as he scan the crowd, well somewhat of a crowd. So far only ShadowClan and his Clan, Riverclan were here at the Gathering. He found it odd that ShadowClan was the first to arrive. From his moons of experience the dark Clan hardly ever appears first.

Then again, it's probably done on purpose, He thought, staring at the ShadowClan cats slinking about. That way, they spend less time waiting for the news of the Gathering to begin. Once it's done, they just leave. It made perfect sense to him. There are cats who don't like to go to these meetings, for whatever reason. Who else would loathe it more than ShadowClan? He, though, liked Gatherings. He loved hearing the news and getting to know the other cats, for if and when in the future, he would know how to exploit their weaknesses.

As Spiritgaze neared the Ivory Rock, he glanced up to see not just Ghoststar and Flutterstar, but Iceheart, RiverClan's current Deputy, sitting on the rock next to Ghoststar. Not only that, but it appears that she's flirting with the RiverClan Leader.
What in the name of StarClan is she doing? The thought swirled in his head as he stared at her, not in anger, but in curiosity. Ever since the announcement of the new Deputy, Spiritgaze had been pondering on the choice Ghoststar had made. It wasn't that he didn't trust his Leader's judgement, he knew that Ghoststar would choose a good Deputy, he just wondered if Iceheart was the right choice. He, along with mist of the Clan, knew that the she-cat has a lot of negativeness in her personality. But, he also knows that there are good parts as well. He knew that she would protect the Clan. But he wonders if she took over Leadership, what kind of path would she take the Clan down on?

Shaking his head, he started to pad forward, only to notice that the ShadowClan Leader's paws were wet with blood, to the point where it was dripping down the Ivory Rock. Spiritgaze didn't say anything, Iceheart was already provoking her as is, all he did was give the Leader a respectful nod and padded away. As he found a spot to sit a loud yowl sounded and the sent of moors grew stronger.
So WindClan has arrived. He stared at the lithe cats piling into the clearing. Now all we need is ThunderClan. Then things may get interesting.


Brightstream


Brightstream stood at the edge of the clearing with the rest of her Clanmates as they waited for the signal to move. Though this time, the signal will come from a different cat. The creamy-yellow she-cat stared at the small new Leader just up ahead. She new that the other Clans will think of them as weak as soon as they see the new Leader.

But their wrong She thought, flexing her claws. Adderstar will be a great Leader and not someone to underestimate. The fur on her back began to rise in both excitement and fear at meeting the cats at the Gathering. She didn't get much of a chance to talk to anyone at the last Gathering, but maybe she will this time around.

Suddenly, she heard Adderstar yowl and began to run into the clearing. The yowl made her jump, but she ran with her Clanmates into the clearing. She stood there and stared at the gathered cats. So far, including them, three of the four Clans have arrived. She could tell by scent that ThunderClan had yet to arrive. She then padded about, passing Adderstar at one point, Brightstream quietly mewed, "Good Luck." Before continuing on. Finally, she came to a stop underneath a bush and sat down. Her eyes gazing around, wondering what will happen next.

[atrb=border,0,false][bg=021130] » iceheart watched with cautious eyes as the small windclan cat leapt upon the stone. by the way the small cat carried itself, iceheart easily identified it as a leader - but it didn't look like one. it looked like a normal apprentice, with it's too big head and too small body. how had such a little shrimp gotten to the rank of leader? in a battle, it looked like the lean cat would be the first to go down. there was an air of wisdom about the cat, which greatly irked iceheart - but there was also some muscle on the small cat. iceheart felt a little twinge inside her: something akin to admiration, but not quite. iceheart could never admire another cat, at least not in the way some cats admired starclan or their clan leaders. a little twitch of whiskers and she snuggled a little closer to ghoststar, her icy blue eyes gleaming as her attention shifted from flutteredstar to the new cat. she didn't know the cats name, so she merely twitched an ear to accent her acknowledgement. she was a new deputy, but even among the crowds of the cats below, she had never really seen the apprentice-like cat before. not even as a deputy. another small twitch of her whiskers and she decided to speak her mind boldly - like she always did. this time, however, there wasn't a lot of sarcasm in her voice.

LIGHTSKY !?

>>.The small and delicate medicine cat quietly trotted along with her clan, eyes turning in different directions to watch the passing cats. Her calico pelt had an eerie glow from the moon above her, and something about this gathering made her feel almost entranced to be her, yet it was any other time. She saw the bickering of Iceheart and the leaders taking their positions on the rock. She felt like making this gathering somewhat.. special to her. Not just a regular one when the leaders get in stupid fights or something breaks out between the apprentices. A event. How would she start one? Maybe just chit chatting and see what information she can squeeze out of the fellow clanners.

hmm. Who should I talk to? Her gaze turned to Brightstream. A sensible cat. Why not.. for a bit?
Lightsky bounded to Brightstream. Hey. She called to her, hoping to gain her attention. But she seemed to be doing something beyond Lightsky. The medicine cat twisted her head to Iceheart hello there, little one. might i ask your name? How sarcastic. She chuckled, then walked over to the she-cat.

Hey, The delicate femme directed her words to the warrior.[/blockquote][/blockquote]

.all of this could be ours--[/right][/size][/b][/i]

a warm breeze stirred the night, swaying the surrounded trees, rattling the leaves of the four great oaks that towered far over the other forest. it brought scents of shadowclan and riverclan, and revealed the absence of thunderclan. the scents of her windclan clan-mates washed over her, too, and skyseer breathed in the comforting familiar scent. up ahead, she could see unnamed figures of shadowclan and windclan, stalking around in the moonlight.

skyseer jumped back to reality as her leader let out a yowl beside her, and then the smaller she-cat raced ahead. the warriors fell in behind her, and skyseer fell back a little to clear her mind. she shook herself and licked some of her chest fur down in a vain attempt. the deputy followed along at a slower, less enthusiastic pace. she reared her clan-mates, but then shouldered her way through the cats; windclan, shadowclan, riverclan bodies that stood in her way. her shoulders and hindquarters rolled easily into a confident saunter toward the great ivory rock in the clearing. she saw her leader joining the other leaders and felt a surge of pride for her. smallest of them all, even smaller than her deputy, yet she was strong. she was representing and leading windclan now, and skyseer had no doubt that she was doing a good job.

skyseer's amber eyes were boiling in the moonlit night, they looked on calmly as she sat beside iceheart and the shadowclan deputy. she stared silent scalpels to anyone who would dare challenge windclan. one of her claws dug into the turf below the rock. it felt weird sitting here, but it was no wrong feeling. it was not a mistake. she made no comment of flutterstar's bloody paws, although the sickly scent of red made her nostrils twinge. unlike the others, she really did not care much. the shadowclan leader could bleed puddles as far as she was concerned. she looked at all of them, deputies and leaders; but only for a second, enough to see a face, remember a name. nothing more.

[wildshadow]

Adderstar glared daggers at the cat who had addressed her, bright yellow eyes seeming to grow as her pupils shrunk to tiny snake-slits. The WindClan leader's tail twitched a little, but otherwise it stood straight in fury. This cat wasn't even a leader, how dare she speak down to her!? The only other warning sign Adderstar showed was her claws sliding out to scrape the rock. Silently she willed the deputy to watch her tongue, or else risk losing it.

The leader said, however, "I'm Adderstar, leader of WindClan. Have you ever wondered why there aren't any adders on the moors?" This was true, there were very few snakes on the high lonely hills that the cats knew of. It was probably because they were too slow to catch the rabbits that were the most abundant prey, but simply to scare other cats, especially the young ones, Adderstar would tell them she had killed so many that the rest had fled to the forest to do her bidding and kill any cats that angered her. Kits and even some apprentices were so gullible. Adderstar looked out across the sea of cats, pointedly ignoring the deputy, but wrinkling her nose at the iron stink of cat's blood coming from the stone. No doubt she'd be smelling that for a few more gatherings.

<sup>leave with me now; say the word and we'll go.

i'll be the teacher; i'll show you the ropes.</sup>

xx. you'll see a side of love you've never known the silence around her became more of an annoyance rather than a comfort. her feelings were back. the lonely ones were gone. patchfur was gone and no where to be seen. her love was gone but the only thing that kept her going was the driving urge to remove her mother from this world and protect her kits from whatever future they would hold. but that was fading away. she was slowly forming into what she had once been. her eyes darkened to a jade green and she snapped her head toward the riverclan deputy. the glare intensified as she imagined ripping the cat apart piece by piece.

xx. i can see it goin' down; goin' down. she had nothing to filter to anger too. and she wouldn't until tomorrow morning when she took willowpaw out for training. but then the apprentice would learn who was in charge. who was running this clan and why she would listen. a sickening sweet smile plastered onto her face as she lifted a paw and licked at the blood. she didn't wince any longer at the feeling. with her ears pricked; she sent a glare toward ghoststar. she was fed up with riverclan all ready and the gathering had yet to begun. control your deputy.

[/color] she snarled; her eyes glaring at him as her stained teeth were compared in contrast to her perfectly white face and chest.

xx. in my head i see you all over me. she retracted from the world after that; seeing how no one wanted her in this world only made her want her return to her own ways. and nothing stopped her as she walked toward the edge of the ivory stone. she landed gingerly on her four paws as she glared toward iceheart. her small paws carried her gracefully toward the deputy. the bleeding had stopped... sort of; but there was still a blood trail coming from her paws where she had stepped. listen; mousebrain. you may be a deputy; but you are not from my clan; so nothing is stopping me from ripping you to shreds. show some respect to a leader or i will make sure you never make it that far.[/color] she spat. her tail lashed back and forth; not caring if the deputy had anything left to say. she spun on her heels; ripping her pads to shreds again as she did and nearly stumbled when she made her way back to the ivory stone.

xx. in my head you fulfill my fantasy. she leaped and landed gracefully; intentionally slamming into the riverclan leaders shoulder with as much force as she could sum up. she sent him a glare. her hostility should have sent any cat running; and in her clan; most cats had learned to run the other way. she had indeed gotten into a quarrel before she left with an apprentice who didn't think she deserved a mentor because she was better than them all. so instead she made herself the mentor of willowpaw. and now she would train the apprentice but she wouldn't let up on training. if the apprentice refused to train she wouldn't be a warrior and that was the only way it would go.. the only way she would let it.

xx. my head; you'll be screamin' oh. she sat back on her haunches away from the other leaders; occasionally glancing toward adderstar. she was the only other leader here who was a femme. which finally made the leader genders even. she hated being the only female. but it didn't technically matter to her because she wanted nothing to do with being leader. leadership was something she hated and never wanted. she had wanted to be a warrior and wait out her mothers arrival to kill her. but before it had happened she had been chosen as deputy and been forced into everything about being a leader.

xx. in my head; it's goin' down. sitting their alone made her think; made her want to know what had turned her into a crazy, psychopath. when she had been born she was alone. completely and totally alone. she was left by her mother in the loner lands with her siblings; she was found by redbird. he taught her to kill. he taught her to murder; to kill and to not care. she had been able to do it for awhile. but after awhile she had gotten used to not caring. she stopped caring about being alone. she had stopped caring about what others thought and more importantly she had stopped caring about who she was. she didn't find that she was worth enough to keep going in the world. but then realization hit her when redbird took her left eye. she was half blinded. and more importantly; she was changed. changed into something that was blood thirsty. something that wanted to lunge at the world and kill everyone on it an a single swipe of her paw.

xx. my head; it's goin' down. a few moments passed by as she opened her eyes and slowly dug her claws into the ivory stone. the blood was in pools at her white feet. the red blood stained the fur around the rims of her feet. she lifted her feet and she wanted to sink her teeth into flesh. to here a cry of pain and listen to someone scream out in agony. her eyes turned bloodshot and she slammed her paws roughly into the stone; her shoulders snapping rigid and her neck bending. and she stared at them all. all the feline bodies around her in the clearing. she had snapped. completely snapped. this would be her last day as leader and she would leave. her kits would stay because they would be safe; but no one would no. no one but her deputy. a low pitched growl sounded from the she-cat as she wanted to just launch her body as far away from the ivory stone as it was possible and disappear into the night. but she would stay... she wouldn't give up her leadership until she trained the apprentice. willowpaw would be her successor. she would take over. at least that was what she wanted. she would talk to the apprentice in the training tomorrow.[/blockquote][/blockquote]

[S K Y;♥]

The silvery brown tom gazed at Iceheart with loving eyes. He loved her feisty way of life and loved how she was quick to judge. For some reason, it attracted him to her. Her looks definitely added to it. He loved everything about her. But, when Flutterstar confronted her about what she said to Adderstar, Ghoststar glared at the Shadowclan leader, fury rising in his heart and hate in his ice blue eyes. He glanced at the bloody tracks she left and his nose wrinkled in disgust at the rustic smell of the scarlet liquid. Flutterstar needed to see a medicine cat or something. Her paws were very raw and frail. He sat up straight, attempting to get the hate off his mind and focus on the gathering, but as soon as he was entering a state of peace, the Shadowclan cat rammed him in the shoulder. He knew it was on purpose. She was obviously instigating and attempting to start a fight. Ghoststar stood and turned towards her, his eyes, once again, brimming with hate and a slight hiss escaped his lips.

"Excuse you. Would you mind watching where you're going or at least mind your own business? Mangy Shadowclan fox dung..." The last several words were muttered under his breath. He composed himself once again and sat down. He began cleaning himself and remaining calm as if nothing ever happened. He had the urge to stand next to Iceheart and share tongues with her, but he figured he may as well wait til the gathering was over. He waited patiently for the event to begin.

[wildshadow]

Adderstar watched the growing tension around her on the Ivory Stone. If there was going to be any action she wanted in. True, StarClan would be angry, but she had to prove herself as a competent leader. Perhaps if it was simply in selfe defence she would be spared some of StarClan's wrath. The smallest leader on the rock turned around, looking at the other two leaders but pointedly turning a cold shoulder toward the deputy. Oh, if only she could find this cat on her territory, then she'd show Iceheart what she was made of.

"Say, Ghoststar," the small female mewed, "is it just me or does there seem to be a particular stink about tonight? I can't tell if it's dead fish," here Adderstar daintily lifted a paw and made a disgusted face. She had stepped in a puddle of blood from Flutteredstar's paws. It wasn't the blood that disgusted her, it was the fact that she hadn't drawn it. "Or maybe its blood. You know, I'm sure my medecine cat can spare a few herbs, if you're having trouble, Flutteredstar. Its no use wasting blood that should be shed in battle." Hopefully this would provoke something from the other leaders. Instead of licking the other leader's blood off her paw Adderstar wiped it against the stone under her feet. Perhaps she seemed a little pretentious, but she didn't care.

xx. even if you cannot hear my voice.

[/i] when FLUTTERstar had approached the ivory stone; she saw the anger in ghoststar's eyes. the look he gave her and she knew they were in love. he was mad at her for confronting his deputy. well that didn't matter all that much to her. Excuse you. Would you mind watching where you're going or at least mind your own business? Mangy Shadowclan fox dung... she had heard him speak; but chose now to act on impulse. she rose to her paws; not caring how much it hurt and not showing how much it hurt. she walked to him with her muscles tense and her shoulders rolled back into their sockets. her head slightly hanging; just to the point where she could give him a deathly glare. her blood stained paws were positioned perfectly. her tail flicked slowly back and forth and she watched him like a cat would watch it's pray. give me one good reason why i shouldn't take your first life.[/color] she said with a low growl as her pink tongue slipped between her teeth and ran along her jowl. the urge to kill bubbled underneath her skin as she raised her head; sending the clouds a warning not to cover the moon until after she had taken the leaders first life.

xx. i'll be right beside you dear but then her attention was diverted for a fraction of a second toward the windclan leader as she spoke. her emerald rolled in her socket as she replied shortly to the leader. only weak cats accept herbs for their feet. only when you are on the verge of death do you consider the use of herbs.[/color] then her attention flicked back to ghoststar; daring him to speak, to call her foxdung again. she would carve his tongue out of his mouth if he did. her claws scraped against the ivory stone with a sickening screech and she was sure every cat looked at her. she ignored it. her voice lowered and turned sweet. so sweet that it caused her stomach to twist uncomfortably. but her words were not so kind. riverclan may like to seem tough; but you can't back up your words. that is what sets shadowclan apart from most other clans. we do what we say without being questioned.[/color]

xx. louder, louder she did not let her thoughts show that she was distracted. she was able to keep an eye on him while at the same time wonder throughout her mind. adderstar would make a nice ally. for once; windclan has finally met the demands instead of being with thunderclan. if she could have chosen an ally for a fight; it would have been adderstar. she was small, yes, but she was the kind of cat that surprised others. small cats were normally always better at fighting because they needed the extra protection instead of seeming weak. but she was the exception. adderstar was not weak and she could tell it just by looking at the leader. she was new but so was flutterstar. this was only her second gathering as leader. with a sickening smile; she turned her gaze back to ghoststar as her claws raked farther down the stone. maybe i was wrong about windclan. adderstar seems to have more guts than you do.[/color]

xx. and we'll run for our lives. this was the most she had ever spoken at a gathering. she had never wanted to speak at a gathering before; but now the urge to spill blood and to fight had begun to go blood shot. she was a murderer and trained to be one since she was four moons old to the time that she was fourteen moons old. she had become the best of the best under redbirds guidance. he had claimed he was better; but now he was dead from her claw and her jowl. the silence didn't slice through the clearing like she wanted it to. a few murmurs in the crowd had seemed to become interested in what was happening on the ivory stone. her grin began to become more of a smirk and then a scowl. she would take ghoststar's first life in front of iceheart. and that would only do so much more to please her. her long tail flicked back and forth as she glared at him.

xx. i can hardly speak, i understand. she was becoming less and less amused by this brute as she stood here. at first it had been simply blood lust that made her stay here. but now it would be the fact that she wanted to kill. she wanted to see someone die at her paws. to watch blood spill across the ivory stone. realization hit her. this was what she had hallucinated for the last two moons atop the ivory stone. was this a message from starclan? was this really my destiny? whatever it was; she didn't care. she only wanted to fulfill what she had seen in her head for the last two gatherings. she gazed upwards. clouds were slowly forming above them; but they were farther from the moon than she had expected. that would give her plenty of time to take ghoststar's first life. i do not understand what you see in iceheart.[/color] her fangs caused her to smirk as she spoke. a cat that has no respect for anyone but herself doesn't love. believe me. i know.[/color]

xx. why you cant raise your voice to say she would annoy him. let him fight back. she wanted an actual fight. something that would make her want to come to another gathering. she stared at him with her dark eye and narrowed it. riverclan will never amount to shadowclan. you are too weak, too care free, and you don't have the guts to fight.[/color] she would continue, but she had a second glance out to the clearing. it was silent. so quite she knew that all the cats were waiting and watching their leaders upon the ivory stone prepare to fight. and you are cowards. afraid to speak your opinion allowed. i may be half blind, but that makes my sense of hearing all the stronger.[/color] she smirked as she growled and watched him with her single eye. riverclan will never amount to anything.[/color] [/blockquote][/blockquote]
