ShadowClan Territory

[doghouse]

Redmoon sighed, catching her breath. Once she'd exited the medicine den she'd run. Suddenly a scent washed over her and she stiffened, her eyes narrowing. It was ShadowClan scent, which seemed rather unsuspicious, but Redmoon bared her fangs. She knew this tom all too well, and she was not pleased to see him as the pale tabby figure stepped out of the bushes. She took a step back, her teeth bared and claws unsheathed.

“So, you've guessed?” Redpool sneered, taking a few more steps closer, rising to his full hight, snarling as he advanced on the tortoiseshell molly. Menace gleamed in his pale yellow hues, and he leaped, claws outstretched. He yowled, sinking his claws into her throat.

Redmoon struggled feebly against the massive tom, but it was no use. She collapsed on the ground, barely breathing as he released her. “You will... die....” she panted, her chest barely rising and falling as blood poured out of the wound. “And... my death... will not be... for nothing....” she hissed, all her strength gone as she lay on the soft pine needles, glad that she'd died a warriors' death after all, though she was sad it was so soon. She'd never had the chance to have a mate or kits. She looked up at Redpool, her eyes growing dull. “You're a fool.” she sighed, then lay completely still, all the life gone.

Redpool looked down at the dead molly, her blood staining his paws. Her final words rang in his ears. You're a fool. He sneered at her dead body. “No. You were the fool.” he hissed, then turned and headed away to clean the blood from his fur, not wanting to give away the evidence that he'd killed her.

She saw smoke rising into the air around Thunderclan and Windclan territory. Even if she couldn't see if it was those territories, but she knew it was coming from there. "Is that smoke?" She asked. The wind had blown some of the smoke toward the other territories.

Mistgaze looked up at where her new friend was looking. Yes it is ... I see. he meowed. So it was happening, the dry weather had finally caused a fire in the territories. The wind's not blowing towards us, we're safe. Too bad for those thunderclan cats though. Let's hope the wind doesn't turn. he meowed, a small grin drawing on his maw at the thought of thunderclan being weak. He silently hoped the fire would spare only them, but shadowclan was quite swampy. Oh well, hoping never hurt anyone, right?

"Hopefully the fire doesn't get to other clan territories." Nightmoon said. "If it does then we all might have to leave and move to somewhere new." As she watched the smoke in the air, it reminded her of the nursery tales she was told. Firestar, Bluestar, and all of the other cats in the giant fire in Thunderclan. The same as now. She thought.

She sat down as well, though her trusting nature made her relax much easier than it seemed the tom was.

"Where are you from, Bane of Hunters?" she asked. She had never heard of a name like that before. It was, interesting to say the least, and honestly, quite menacing a name indeed. She sniffed around, but failed to catch scent of any of her clanmates.

'Thank Starclan, I wouldn't have been able to fend off both a patrol and this male should they start to attack him for being so close to the border,' she thought. Maybe, just maybe, this cat and her could be friends? No, that's mousebrain speak. However, the Warrior Code says you can have friends not in your clan, as long as your loyalty to your clan overrides that friendship. So... Maybe?

Emerald eyes looked over the cat, the tone was soft...sweet on his ears that caused one to flick from the odd touch of the words. The loner flicked his tail, giving it a soft thump one the ground as he started his reply. "This one not wish intrude home." He stated first, acknowledging to her that he understood that he would not move forward.

"Bane of Hunters come from journey, search of home. This one follows the Lights in night fur." He shifted his forepaws about, his visage in thought.

"This one travel...three moons." The mew was long, as if he was making sure himself that the words were the right ones to use.

As he answered her questions he could not help but wonder something himself. "This one gave name to...she-cat. This one call she-cat what?"

If you're going to be like that, I'll figure it out myself. So you can enjoy the show." Clawpaw mewed, tugging on her tail one last time. With a final effort, she yanked it loose, giving a startled and pained mew as she did so. The thorns had left scratches all along her tail. They weren't deep; but they were there. "Ha! Did it myself. I hope you enjoyed the show, and now I will bid you good day- unless of course, you're going to stalk me," She said, triumph fading to mischief as she did so. Her tail hurt. She twisted her head around to look at the scratches.


Her expression darkened quite a bit and she sighed. "So, my little admirer, are you going to tag along?" She asked, raising her blue hues to meet his gaze again. How come he seemed so nervous every time she did that? What was wrong with her eyes...she had always been under the impression that they were kinda pretty. But of course, it would appear that not everyone thought the same way. "Oh, and I have a problem here...you know my name, but I don't know yours. So unless you want to be mysterious and creepy, I think it might be nice if I knew it." Clawpaw mewed. Her blue hues were no longer narrowed, and she glanced away from him.

Badgerpaw’s temptation is clear. He desires to press his paw down on the molly’s injured tail, but finds common sense hasn’t fled him just yet. Instead, he flexes his paws into the dirt to will the thought away. He waits until she’s finished talking -- she’s very chatty, he notes -- to pipe back up. Blue hues settle on his mottled coat, and his nose scrunches up in malaise.


“Oh, my darling; I’d follow you to the ends of the Earth. Surely.” The young tom’s head cants to the left, amber eyes hooding lazily. “I got no issue with being mysterious and creepy, but if you gotta know, my name’s Badgerpaw.”


“So,” dipping forward, he sneers. “Where are we heading next? There’s some nice brambles just north of here. Figure you might enjoy that.”

Mistgaze hid his amusement. This cat was more innocent than he thought. Surely her little secret could be of use sometimes, so he kept this card in his sleeve for later, and headed silently towards camp, his many catches in his jaw, and the other half carried by Nightmoon.

(Don't have much to say anymore, and I'll mostly RP the EE so let's cliffhanger this up c; )

Clawpaw's hues spark with amusement, although she keeps her posture rigid and calm. "Again, how very flattering. I suppose it's a pleasure to meet you, my little admirer," She mews, her expression going back to an amused one. This has definitely been more interesting than she had bargained for, and it certainly hasn't been boring. That is definitely one word that she wouldn't use to describe the conversation. "That sounds delightful, shall we go there then? I assume you would enjoy watching me get stuck again, that appears to be your new favorite thing," She mews, her voice dripping with sarcasm. She looks as though she's had just about enough, although in her mindset she's doing just fine. Stalker. She thinks, watching him with a snort. She thinks for a moment before spinning away from him and beginning to pad away, at a quick pace. She stops and looks back briefly, her blue hues sparking again and she grins. "Keep up now, you don't want to miss the show, do you?" She asks, her tail twitching ever so slightly as she does so.

"Oh, how rude of me. My name is Ivythorn, and I'm a warrior of Shadowclan," she said, her so-called title with hardly the thrill of her name. She let out a slight sigh. "It must've been a long time since you've been home. Why are you following the.. Uh.. What, exactly was it you called it?" she asked, a bit confused.

She shook her head a bit, feeling stupid for forgetting what the large tom had called it. Was he referring to Starclan? She glanced up at the sky, seeing her past ancestors start to peek through the day's rays. 'I wonder if Bane of Hunters would want a companion,' she thought, then shook the thought from her mind. She couldn't just up and leave Shadowclan. Could she?

( @Liquoris ) Mulberrypaw looked up at Badgerstripe, eyes blazing with golden fire. "Well?"

From the tom came a purr as he dipped his head. "Bane of Hunters wish Lights watch Ivythorn. Guide paws along path."

Bane of Hunters gave his small wish and rose his head back up to give the cat a perked ear and causing a fumble in his words. "Yes...the uhh...Lights, they those live before. Guide good cats along paths, test heart's strength."

It was near the end of his statement that he seemed to collect himself, his ears perking high and emerald eyes gleaming. "Snow of the Wind told son Lights lead this one better home. True family." He had to explain this before and he awaited the usual response of them not understanding him.

The tom stood up from his seat, seeing the friendly words and questions as a open way but his paws stopped from proceeding as he remembered his words of not entering the Shadowclan lands. Retracting his movements, he took a seat and asked another question. "Ivythorn, warrior of Shadowclan? What Warrior? What Shadowclan?"
