CLAN MEETING- Many New Lives

[Deleted]

Tears stumbled over by ShadowFang, and let out a hiss.

"Don't expect anything out of me. I don't even want to be in this clan."

He groaned, his eyes rolling.

-

DirtFur crinkled his nose, and looked at the ground. He didn't even know how to train an apprentice, he didn't know a thing.

-

PheonixPaw purred, but then stopped. She frowned.

"Are you allowed to come with me?"

Her head slightly tilted to the left.

The little black tom padded back to the place he had lived for so many days of his life. Thoughts whirled in his head but one stuck out in particular. Would they accept him back into their lives? Or would he be outcast? He shook off that thought and padded back into the camp, breathing in the familiar scent and sticking to the outside edge of the clan meeting. Just figures that he'd come back at a time like this. The white flecks on his pelt stuck out and he sat down, flicking his tail and looking at his family before padding over, purring as he did so and sitting beside Runningpath. Momma. He said, licking her cheek and flicking his tail happily.

Old Memories

Spottedstar had been waiting for the apprentices to step forward for their warrior ceremonies. Not at all expecting a familiar black and white tom step through the camp entrance. Her amber eyes narrowed at first, her mind telling her it couldn't be, to look again. But it was. Her eyes widened with shock and joy. "Starpaw?" she called out. She leapt down from the Highbranch and padded over to the tom slowly, feeling as if it was a dream. His pelt smelled of ThunderClan, but other than that he was the same as the last time she had seen him. "You've come back..."

Come Back To Haunt Us

~~~

Some More Strong

Brokenpaw looked around for his mentor, not seeing her in the crowd. He had only seen Hawkwhisper from the nursery walls, and didn't really know the she-cat. But when Spottedstar turned her attention to the newcomer, he stopped looking for her and turned his head towards the tom. The tortoiseshell blinked. He didn't recall ever knowing him, even though Spottedstar and Runningpath did. He smelled funny, not at all like ShadowClan. Who was he?

Than Others

[Deleted]

Tigerstorm had turned to go back to get some fresh-kill, stopping when she spoke up. "Go with you...you mean to the apprentices den?" He asked in confusion, frowning. That wasn't a request he was anticipating and frankly...he didn't know if he could fit in there.

[Deleted]

RunningPath's eyes immediately widened at the scent of Starpaw. She thought it was her imagination, but it wasn't, since he came right next to her. Of course, DirtFur did come in earlier than him, which is why he responded to the meeting.

He didn't look so surprised at all.

RunningPath nuzzled StarPaw.

"I knew it!"

She squealed, and purred.

-

PheonixPaw nodded, but then her eyes traveled to the new commotion.

"Who's that?"

[Deleted]

Starpaw smiled at Foxstar and nodded. "Mhm. I'm g-glad to be b-back." He said, his slight little stutter still there. He purred, flicking his tail. His green-grey-blue eyes were happy and his ears flickered about. The little black tom, his pelt flicked white with dots that made him look like he was covered in stars, had come home. The young tom was well past the age of being an apprentice. Definitly into the age of being a Warrior, but with his fate being bounced around by Starclan there had really been no time for any of that. He looked at Spottedstar. "H-how have things g-gone since I l-left?" He asked, rubbing his head against his 'mothers' pelt.

RunningPath was just happy his son was back, was happy StarPaw had came home.

She purred loudly, not even hearing his question. She kept nuzzling him, giving him a few licks behind his ears.

-

{SORY DIDN'T SEE IT}CarePaw came bounding up to get her warrior name, until SpottedStar jumped down. She saw her go to her older sibling -- the one who had to leave. She bounded over immediately, and nuzzled him.

"StarPaw! I missed you so much!"

Dreams

Spottedstar smiled, the slight spell of confusion gone now. "Things have gone just fine around here. A couple bouts with ThunderClan, as you know, but nothing we couldn't handle." She turned her head back towards the Clan. "There's also new cats you won't recognize. Seven new apprentices just entered our ranks." The leader looked and sounded proud of the fact before looking at him again, sizing him up. "You're quite the apprentice, now. I think it's time you became a warrior with your siblings."

Become Reality

[Deleted]

CarePaw purred, and bounced upwards.

"Yay! StarPaw becoming a warrior with me!"

She purred, pressing close to his sibling.

"I knew ThunderClan couldn't take my brother from me!"

She smiled.

Tigerstorm was about to say that wasn't such a good idea when the commotion started. At her next question, he turned to see what was going on. His eyes widened slightly as he saw Dirtfur and...Starpaw? He hadn't expected to see the apprentice back so soon. He glanced back to Phoenixpaw to explain. "That's Starpaw, a shadowclan apprentice. He went to Thunderclan for a little bit...but he's come back."

[Deleted]

PheonixPaw's ears flickered, but then Heard DirtFur speak.

"SpottedStar, ShadowHeart is in ThunderClan. She is getting healed. She needed help. And since we don't have a Medicine Cat, and ThunderClan was the closest.. I went there.. And.. MoonShine spoke.. through..through.. RainPaw. He.. er.. She.. said that StarPaw HAD to come back.."

His ears flattened against his head.

-

PheonixPaw blinked.

"TigerStorm.. can you explain all of this? I don't understand. What is StarClan? Who is MoonShine? What is that tom blabbering about?"

[/center]

[Deleted]

Tigerstorm nodded, taking a breath. "Starclan is the spirits of cats before us, they watch over us and guide our destinies. And Moonshine was a Thunderclan she-cat. Apparently she was injured and....wait a minute...." Frowns at his own statement, padding over to Dirtfur. "Did you say Moonshine spoke through Rainpaw?" He asked in amazement, never having heard of something like that happening.

[Deleted]

One Falls

Spottedstar's eyes narrowed at Dirtfur's words. She was in ThunderClan? Her tail lashed out behind her, but she saw the necessity of the situation. The bit about Rainpaw was strange, though. "I see. Well, with Moonshine or not, Starpaw is back where he belongs. And as for Shadowheart, I understand. But if she's not back in two suns, I want you to go there and bring her back. If ThunderClan refuse, or have harmed her in any way, there will be consequences."

Then Another

[Deleted]

PheonixPaw padded along side TigerStorm, still a bit puzzled.

-

"Yes. She did. She was furious, because I was almost slaughted by the ThunderClan warriors. I refused to leave. I wanted to stay with ShadowHeart.. I was worried."

He murmured.

Starpaw smiled and purred when Carepaw came over. He licked her on the cheek, happy to see his little sister. He nodded when Spottedstar spoke of seven new apprentices. "That's g-good. I'm glad to hear that you've all f-fared well." He stood up and stretched, ears flickering towards the diffrent cats in the area. His odd colored eyes flickered from one cat to another, identifying them one at a time.
