CLAN MEETING (All Shadowclan Cats Allowed)

[flamewhisper]

Bright yellow eyes stared up at the fading moon. The gathering had just ended and Shadowclan had just gotten to Camp. Without further pause, Blackstar bounded forward and onto the highrock. His black form showed brilliantly on top of the rock in the moonlight. "ALL CATS OLD ENOUGH TO CATCH THEIR OWN PREY GATHER UNDERNEATH THE HIGHROCK!" He called out over the dens. There had to be a few things explained and sorted out this night.

The kit crawled out of the nursery with his eyes bright. His mother stood behind him as he sat down and watched his leader. Through his dark amber eyes he watched as the Clan emerged from its great depths. Deep dark ginger fur pricked on his back as he waited for his leader to speak. Burntkit sat and watched with a testing eye at all the cats who came now.

[flamewhisper]

Blackheart crept out of the nursery, legs stiff from laying too long. He walked up to the rest of his clan mates, his green eyes on his leader. He wondered what had been talked about at the gathering. He was sad he had not been able to go, but he had been chosen to stay in the camp to protect the kits. He spotted Burntkit and smiled at him. "Aren't you supposed to stay in the nursery little one?" He teased, tapping the little kit with his paws.

Moonshard sat down a few pawsteps from his leader, Blackstar. He had a good guess about what this meeting was about. He was probably worried about what cats would think about the gathering, about the decision that was made. Some of the cats might be upset, and that wouldn't go too well.

Note: Sorry that it's short.

[Scarheart321]

His ears pricked as he saw Blackheart approach. With a slight twitch of his tail he shifted a bit, "You know that I would watch from inside anyways," he smirked playfully, "Besides my mother is with me, I see kits come with there mothers all the time." A smile came to his face, hiding his decieving eyes as he starred up at the cat.

A white tom walked back into the clearing. The moon refecting off his bright pelt, while his flame colored paws padded slowly out. Firewalker looked up to Blackstar and waited for the Shadowclan leader to tell the rest of the clan what had happened at the gathering while he himself already knew. What will they think when they find out the the clans, well, four of them at least, have join in an allience against the Creed of assassins??This he would soon find out...

[flamewhisper]

Blackstar watched as his clan appeared before him. How would they take it knowing they were going to join together? He knew many were going to be angry, some relieved, and some confused. Knowing he had to say it, he took a deep breath and looked over his clan. "This moon's gathering brought a lot of questions and answers." He began. "It seems the Creed has only been taking prisoners from Thunderclan. We believe that they are trying to take us out one clan at a time." He paused to let what he said sink in. He also paused so he could decide how to say the next part. He couldn't just say it because he knew it would confuse too many without an explanation, it might even infuriate a few of them.

"During the time we were discussing what to do, a small Riverclan apprentice shouted out something we thought was insane, at first, but after some thought we all decided it was best." He mewed, hoping he was explaining things well enough for them to understand. "We decided to join together, as the apprentice had suggested. Shadowclan, Windclan, Riverclan, and Thunderclan will work together to protect each other from the Creed."

From the group of cats, he heard a tom call, "We don't need their help! They will just turn on us anyway!" He looked to see it was Blackheart.

With power and strength, Blackstar stared down at the tom. "No cat is allowed to lie at a Gathering, and you know this." Blackheart's ears laid back and he bowed his head in apology. "They will not turn on us, and we will not turn on them."

[Aroura]

Firewalker hissed." Without them Blackheart, there wouldnt be any clans to not need. Think before you blurt out something wrong when it is a matter of life and freedom against death and imprisonment..." Then he lay his shoulders flat and calmed himself to listen to the rest of Blackstar's speach.

[flamewhisper]

Blackstar nodded to Firewalker in agreement. Before he hopped down there was one more thing to say. "I am traveling to the Moonpool to share dreams with Starclan. I wish to take Firewalker and Blackheart with me. We will leave in the morning." With that he hopped down and walked over to Moonshard. "Make sure to keep the patrols up. I trust you will be able to handle things while I am gone." He mewed to his deputy before going to his warriors. "Make sure to eat well and get good sleep." After that he went to the fresh-kill pile and grabbed a small rabbit.

[Aroura]

Firewalker nodded in agreement and followed him to the fresh-kill pile, grabbing a plump shrew for himself. After gulping down the first peice he looked to Blackstar. " Do you think they would have disagreed if you had said that Silverstar would be going with us?" He said smoothly and took another bite.

[flamewhisper]

Blackstar lay down next to Firewalker and took a few bites from his meal. When Firewalker asked him about meeting with Silverstar he closed his eyes and sighed.

"You probably couldn't see it, but when I spoke of the truce, Blackheart wasn't the only one who betrayed his unhappiness about it. A lot of their eyes told me how they felt. I knew if I said anything about meeting with her, it would only cause more problems then this already will." He mewed softly, glancing over to Blackheart. "I knew how Blackheart would have reacted because of his earlier outburst. If I had said something and he had protested, I don't think I would have trusted him to come with me." He looked back at Firewalker. "I know him more than most cat's think. When he finds out that I'm meeting her, when we meet her, I know he will keep his mouth shut. He had pride you know." He mewed, a bit of humor in his voice. He took a few more bites from his meal as he waited for Firewalker to respond.

[Aroura]

Firewalker nodded in understanding and then chuckled. " I think thats what led him to the out burst haha. I think my little correction lowered the it just a mouse whisker."

[flamewhisper]

Blackstar chuckled softly at the warriors comment. "Yes, I do believe you did hurt his pride there. He is probably still sulking." He mewed as he watched the black warrior pick up his meal and lay by himself under a tree. He looked angry as he ripped into his dinner. "He'll be cooled off by tomorrow, though you will whip him into shape in the morning if he is still sulking won't you?" He asked, and curious gleam in his yellow eyes.

[Aroura]

Firewalker laughed." Of corce I will. He's a good warrior, he just stepped a little out of line then. haha."

[flamewhisper]

Blackstar nodded and finished the last of his meal. With a good stretch, he stood up and cleaned his fur. "Better get some sleep while you can, Firewalker. We leave early." He mewed through his licks as he cleaned his paws. Nodding to his warrior, he strolled into his den. After a long yawn, he welcomed sleep, slightly purring from the joy of sleep.

(ooc-I will start the Moonpool thread most likely after thanksgiving. It will be at the Moonpool, but will start with everyone getting ready to travel to thunderclan. That way this is only one thread, not 2 or 3. lol. )
