A Clan is better than being alone

Firestar nodded, "You might as well make yourself comfortable. I must speak with my deputy now." she said.

[Deleted]

Leap nodded and trotted out of the den, eyes bright with pleasure. He was a RiverClan apprentice now!

[Deleted]

Firestar stepped out of her den, looking out for Stormstrike. She needed to talk to him, as soon as possible. She sat at the entrance, her pelt dappling in the sunlight.

[Deleted]

The white she-cat was dashing over to FireStar. The scent of loner and rogue was over-whelming. She didn't like it, but she didn't know Leap was the one, she didn't know that Leap wanted to be part of RiverClan.

She paused infront of the two, her eyes strolling over the two cats.

"Who..?"

She shook her head, SnowFeather sighing.

"FireStar... I'm really worried about.. .. I think you know who."

Her tail seemed to flick to the Medicine Cat's den, but she shook her head, keeping her mind now focused on Leap.

"Who is this loner? Did this cat hurt you?"

Stormstrike padded into camp from hunting, putting his prey down in the fresh-kill pile. He stretched, wincing at his sore muscles. He had been tossing and turning all night with Dappledleaf being with kits and all. He glanced over to Firestar, she seemed distressed. "Firestar?" He asked, padding over to her curiously.

[Deleted]

"I must speak with you, now. I know, you look distressed but it is important." She turned back in her den and turned to face him.

[Deleted]

Stormstrike frowned, padding in after her. He sat down, wrapping his tail around his paws and nodded to her. "Go ahead Firestar, I'm listening..." He murmured, studying her intently.

"Two cats want to join ThunderClan, both young, able bodied, and powerful. I am intending for both to join. One is in ShadowClan and one, I want you to train. If you like, I understand if you refuse, but I want him to be loyal. And no other cat is as loyal to this clan than you." She smiled weakly. "Will you train him?"

[Deleted]

Snowfeather felt ignored. She felt hurt. FireStar ignored her. She didn't even notice her presence, which made the edge of her fur prickle.

"Fine."

She hissed under her breath, which happened when StormStrike passed. He probably heard, but she didn't care. She hardly cared anymore.

She turned, and went to stop off to the warrior's den.

Stormstrike raised a brow as she spoke of the two cats and he smiled. "Thanks Firestar, I'm flattered. I wouldn't mind training him. Who is he exactly?" He asked with interest, tail flicking with curiousity.

[Deleted]

"Young tom, his name is Leap. He is quite ready, you can go see him in the apprentice's den. And I thank you." She bowed her head. "But I have many cats to speak with, so you should go meet him. But you wont start training yet, I will watch him first. Show him the boundaries, basics of Fishing, Make sure he is worthy of you." She smiled than started out the door, calling to Snowfeather, "Snowfeather, may I speak with you?" she mewed, bounding over.

[Deleted]

The white she-cat stopped, her eyes blazing with anger. She shifted her gaze to FireStar, her voice feeling like the coldest ice in the the world.

"What do you want?"

Her hackles prickled with unease, tension sparking from her.

"I'm sorry, things are really hectic right now." she mewed, "I needed to tell Stormstrike something very quick. I heard you, I really did. But I have no less than four cats to speak to. I am going to Moonstone tonight, and that cat... His name is Leap and he wants to join RiverClan. He is the main reason I pushed the journey to tonight."

[Deleted]

SnowFeather didn't back down that easy. She couldn't believe that.

She rose her nose in the air, and gave it a quick sniff.

"Why should I believe that? There could of been some sort of sign that you did!"

She retorted, her hackles still prickling, but not as bad. She didn't like this at all, she didn't like that she was thinking about slashing out at her leader.

"You are starting to act like the others, cats that don't trust me, just because I went undercover. I would of said something, but no, no, It happened at the last second."

She hissed under her breath, now pacing back and forth.

"MoonStone? Attend it yourself. Cats are forbidden to attack cats who attend the MoonStone anyways."

She muttered, mostly to herself.

"Snowfeather! I trust you more than I trust my kin, My kits, I could have taken any of these cats. But I wanted to take you! I thought that you knew that, I trust you, do you remember when you came back, and Crookedstar denied you? I was one of the only cats that was sad to see you go, I always understood!" She protested.
