The tom blinked slowly, and growled rather deeply. He wasn't going to back down, not yet anyway.

"Sure it is. You should be worried, she should have a heart. But she doesn't, obviously, the only thing there is a piece of rotten ol' crow-food."

He hissed, and looked back at TangleStar.

"Now go back where you belong, in the wild! Stay out of this camp!"

He growled.

"Or I will chase you off!"

_{Riddle...he looked up and stared as Tanglestar came back into the camp. Mousefur and Stoneheart along with her. His single gold eye narrowed, and his tail lashed anxiously....angrilly.....irritatedly.... He stared at all three, turning his head away from them and going back to pacing. As voices rose, he turned towards them all, fluffing up and snarling at them angrilly. He was NOT going to put up with this. "Knock it off! All of you! If you can't decide what to call me, then just call me RIDDLE. Understand? Obviously, there's going to be issues here." His gaze turned to Tanglestar, to Mousefur, to Stoneheart.... He shook his head, padding away from them his ears perked forward.}

Goldenfur, whom had been at the back of the crowd bounded up and hissed, "Stop it Scarshadow! It isn't your choice to decide, its StarClans. Tanglestar and Riddle... will ask them who will be the leader." her eyes narrowed at Scarshadow, "Shame on you! Tormenting this couple..."

[Deleted]

Patience Wearing Thin

Sunflash let out a menacing growl at Scarshadow's threats. "You'll have to go through me first!" He was ready to give this tom a good lash across the face. But when Riddlestar... Riddlehawk... Riddle? Whatever he was calling himself, he was surprisingly harsh and cold. He hadn't even greeting his mate, who'd he'd told Sunflash he missed so dearly. What was with this new strange attitude? True, he'd always been a little off in the warrior's mind, but it had been growing somehow. As the tabby padded away, Sunflash's narrowed eyes flickered back to the tom who made his claws itch. "They're both right. Just go back to the warriors den, leave this matter to the cats it involves."

[Tanglekit]

Tanglestar's eyes narrowed into slits. She was the leader now as she always had been, and no power hungry warrior was going to waver that. Did he really think that the clan would survive a moon with him as leader. NEVER! She was here in clan as she would always be and no one was going to drive her away.

[Deleted]

ScarShadow hissed at GoldenFur, and looked at RiddleStar. He didn't care what RiddleStar wanted to be called, he will be calling him RiddleStar. He hissed, and right when he disappeared, he looked at TangleStar.

He narrowed his eyes, and ignored all the other voices, bowling himself into her, claws unsheathed.

"Traitor!"

Push Out, Sell Out, Die Out

Alarm clenched the warrior's belly, but was replaced with pure rage in a heartbeat. "No!" Sunflash leaped at his Clanmate with a yowl and teeth bared. He was going for the scruff of his neck, to get a good hold with his fangs to pull him off his mate. "You're the traitor!" He growled in fury, claws ready to grab fur.

[Deleted]

ScarShadow felt the tom on his back, which made him quickly roll over, making sure to slam his back right on the warrior, and move around a bit, to dig in his spine.

If he let go, he would of jumped up with a twist, and launched himself back at the tom.

"I'm not the one who left the clan in worry, without telling anyone, but two other warriors!"

Spirit Of Fire

Sunflash had in face let go, leaping off the tom as he felt the body twist toward the ground, but Scarshadow's plan to make a comeback attack worked as well. The warrior yowled in surprise when the brown tom came flying back at him, sending both toms onto the ground in a cloud of dirt. His claws raked at his opponent wildly as he was unable to see through the screening earth. "You know she didn't mean to leave us a whole moon! Stop trying to make a crime out of it!"

[Deleted]

Riddle growled when he heard the fighting...again.. He lifted himself up from where he had been lying, padding back to where they were arguing. "Would you all just STOP. Tanglestar...may I have a word with you?" He cast a sharp glance at ScarShadow. "ScarShadow... I'm going to speak with you later about a matter I feel we need to discuss." He looked at Mousefur sadly. He didn't know what he could say to her. He blinked once, a sad, baleful expression on his face. He couldn't think of anything to say. He figured that she'd have moved on. He'd never given up on her, but he thought it was almost certain she'd moved on from him. "Tanglestar, if you will. Let's head to the Tree." He knew she would know which tree he spoke of. The large, tall oak that he had first came into Thunderclan territory under.

'Tanglestar......is that who I hear??' The young tabby tom padded through the entrance of camp, mouth full of herbs. His eyes lit up a little as he saw his old leader and the missing Thunderclan cats. They were back! He slipped into the Medicine cat's den quickly to put the herbs down, then padded back out to the group. He slipped in with confidence, the scent of Thunderclan back on his pelt. He dipped his head to Tanglestar and.....Riddlestar? "Tanglestar....you've returned." He said with a friendly smile on his face, then glanced to his former mentor. "If you don't mind...I would like a word with Tanglestar as well."

[Deleted]

The brown tom got off of SunFlash, having scratches upon his pelt. He only got off, because he was loyal, although he was trying so hard not to attack again.

He wanted all of these traitors to leave, and all he could do is snicker at Sunflash.

"Don't think all of this is over."

He growled, ScarShadow padding away a bit, to lick himself clean.

Crawling In My Skin

Sunflash rose to his paws, keeping his dark amber eyes trained on the tabby warrior. "Wouldn't dream of it," he growled, feeling the sting of small cuts along his pelt. The tom padded back over to Tanglestar and sat beside her protectively, raising his paw and giving it a few licks where it hurt. Never before had he needed to fight a Clanmate like this, and if it had been anyone else he would have felt horrible. But this arrogant tom had threatened his mate and leader, and that was unforgivable.

[Tanglekit]

Tanglestar nodded to her deputy.She knew exactly what tree the tom was talking about, and with that padded out of camp. Curiosity prickled at her pelt as she led the way to an all to familiar part of her territory. Her tail quivered as she thought about how the next few words could impact there whole friendship. She was very fond of RiddleHAWK and wasn't ready to star a quarrel with the tom. Her ears went back as she reached the tree listening with full attention.

Mousefur frowned. Her warm greeting was so breath-taking, Not, How great she had felt for leaving but know Riddle hawk didn't even want to talk to her. Maybe he had moved on but she would never know. She sighed and turned to take a piece of prey not really sure about what to do as she felt the burn of many staring eyes.

[Deleted]

Riddle followed behind Tanglestar, his single gold eye watching her carefully. He sat down when he got to the tree, curling his tail around his lame paw and his good one. he flickered his ears in her direction, a small sigh escaping his maw. "Tanglestar... I feel I must say this. I don't want to destroy our entire relationship over this. I understand that you had to leave, I understand that you want to retain your leadership." He said, looking at her with a sad expression. He didn't want to destroy his relationship with Tanglestar. "But I feel I have to tell you that while you were gone, the entire clan believed you were dead, we all were worried about you. I feel I must ask, Where did you go? What happened to Mousefur? Did she lose the kits? I apologize for bombarding you with all these questions, but I want to know." His mind wandered. He was much, much younger than Tanglestar, by many moons. She was almost as old as KestralSpot by this time, her reign having gone on for a long time, but not as long as crazy old Crookedstar's. She could easily step down, become an Elder and care for Tumblekit, but whatever she wanted to do it would be her choice, not his. He wouldn't ask her to do anything of the sort. Only discuss it with her.
