Revenge (ALL OF RIVERCLAN MUST REPLY!)

[Deleted]

Firestar watched as the last patrols were coming in as the sun set. She had never sent another battle patrol after WindClan like planned, but tonight, Blood would spill and revenge would be given. Firestar had said there was another time to deal with the situation!

"All Cats old enough to catch their own prey gather here, for a clan meeting!" She called so it echoed through the camp.

Voices Cry Out To Me

Ice had been resting peacefully in the apprentice den, just closing his eyes after a hot day. At Firestar's call his ears pricked instantly and his blue eyes blinked open. A meeting? What for? The pale tabby tom rose to his paws, then pushed his way through the fern barrier that encircled the den. Sunlight shone down on his face, causing him to squint as he padded toward the meeting place that his leader was calling from. He sat below, curling his tail around his paws, and waited to hear the news.

What Now?

Ravenstone had been on the latest patrol just returning from camp, and he was practically dragging his paws. The heat sure was picking up. It wasn't too bad yet, really, but it was definitely getting a little warmer every day, and having a thick black pelt didn't help. So hearing that instead of relaxing in the warriors den he would have to stay out for a Clan meeting, the warrior's shoulders sagged. With a restrained groan of displeasure, Ravenstone padded over to the meeting place.

I Stand On The Outside

Tundrakit had been in the nursery with his mother and siblings when he heard Firestar's call. Even though he wasn't yet an apprentice, the curious little kit still wanted to know what was going on. The white tom bounced away from his mother so that his head poked out from the nursery. From there, he could see the other cats beginning to gather near the leader. A smile spread across his face as his tail waved excitedly.

Dappledleaf licked her kits heads, bounding out and away from the nursery. She hoped her kits would atleast behave themself. The lithe she-cat was recovering from her kits very very well. Her calico tail lashed back and forth as her green eyes stared up at Firestar. She looked over at Ice. She didn't think she'd even talked to the young tom.

"Cats of RiverClan, let me assure you WindClan's actions have been taken in serious account! But right now, I would like Ice to step forward please." she called out, her eyes resting on the young apprentice named Ice. She had cursed herself for not giving him his apprentice name before the gathering, but now...

[Deleted]

SnowFeather came up from behind RavenStone, her fur still prickling up with unease.

"Ugh."

She muttered, ears flipped back against her head. She wasn't in the mood to fight, well she was, but only with one particular cat; RiddleHawk.

Sunlight came forth, and blinked, staring up at her leader, not really doing much else, surprisngly.

-

NeedleHeart stayed back, eyes glaring into the fur of Firestar, but then looked right at Ice. They shouldn't change his name. not at all. At least, change it to FrostPaw, that would be allowed in her book.

Dappledleaf looked at Needleheart, who sat rather near her actually. She cast the omniously glaring she-cat a smile. "Hello Needleheart." She said, flicking her tail. The calico she-cat was always friendly to any of the cats in her clan. She'd always been nice to Froststorm, they'd even gone hunting with eachother a few times. Ice didn't exactly strike her as nice, or very sociable, so she hadn't really talked to him. But it wasn't like she hated him.

All This Time

Ice suddenly felt wide awake, his eyes wide open. Him? Really? A huge grin spread across his face. Finally! he couldn't help but think. The pale tabby had begun to wonder if he would ever get his Clan name. He rose swiftly to his paws, about to step forward, when he felt the fur on the back of his neck prickle. It felt like some cat was watching him.

Mouse-brain! Of course they are. Firestar called you out, remember? All the same, the apprentice couldn't help but glance over his shoulder to check. He found himself locking eyes with Needleheart. Her eyes looked cold. His smile faltered. Why was she upset? He was finally getting his place in RiverClan. Did she not want him there at all? Was he acting like a fool? Ice felt his ears fall a bit with his smile, but he turned around to face Firestar with those thoughts hidden. He was still going through with this. It was what he had worked for.

The pale tabby tom put on a smaller, toothless smile as he stepped up toward Firestar with an otherwise blank expression. He dipped his head respectfully, trying to hide the butterflies he felt in his belly.

[Deleted]

NeedleHeart looked at DappledLeaf, and then looked back at Ice. She almost ignored the she-cat completely, the only thing that really gave it away, was the flick of her ear.

"Hi."

And of course, that word there.

She noticed how Ice suddenly felt, well, not happy, was that because of her? Of course it was!

Flairpelt watched as his little brother had been called up and was happy for him. He knew he would be getting his name as Ice passed him in the clearing Flairpelt smiled and nodded to his brother "Good luck Ice, I know mother would be proud speaking of which would you like to go see her later?" he mewed and smiled to his younger brother. Flairpelt thought nothing different of Ice even if he had been adopted into his family he was a brother to him all the same.

~~~~~~
Moonshadow walked out from the warriors den and stretched, she had been have the most lovely dream but knew now was a time of utmost importance to be awake for it was a Clan meeting.

[Deleted]

RosePaw walked over to Flairpelt and gave him a weird look.

"MoonLight? I doubt ma would care. At least, she probably wouldn't care if I went along."

She suddenly mew'd, and stuck her nose up in the air with a huff.

Start Again

The young tom's head twisted around to see his older adoptive brother, and his smile grew a little bigger. He hadn't seen Moonlight in a while; since he and Rosepaw had gone off to see her. Of course, that hadn't gone well on his sister's part. He had hoped that a reunion would smooth the path between mother and daughter, but that big head of hers seemed to block that.

Ice nodded to Flairpelt. "Sounds good to me! Maybe we can go after this if Firestar gives us time." The pale tabby then looked to Rosepaw with an expression that read, 'Come on, I've heard this all before.' "Why don't you just give her another chance? I couldn't hurt."

[Deleted]

"Ice, you have proved to the cats of RiverClan you can be loyal and a true Clan cat." her voice echoed throughout the camp. "From this day forth you will be known as Icepaw, your mentor shall be Needleheart, may she teach you the ways of RiverClan to be loyal and and may she teach you to be a worthy warrior."

[Deleted]

With New Steps

Putting the thoughts of Needleheart away in the back of his mind, Icepaw puffed out his chest proudly as he stepped forward to lick his leader respectively on the shoulder. He was a real Clan cat, now! With the final touch of a name, no cat would call him anything but RiverClan unless they wanted claws raked across their flank. And in time, he'd be a warrior, one of the strongest in the Clans. Then he'd see to Riddlehawk.

"Thank you, Firestar," he mewed, hiding the ecstatic pitch in his voice as he looked up to the leader.

[Deleted]

Firestar bowed her head to the apprentice, "Now, Cats of RiverClan. With our new apprentice brings news. It is time to attack WindClan!" she yowled.

"We will have four patrols, one will be lead by myself, the other Stormstrike, the other Snowfeather, the last Hawktalon." she began.

"The first patrol will include myself, Needleheart, Icepaw, Thunderpaw, Littlewhisker, Leopardclaw, Moonshadow, Nightpaw and Nightpaw's sister Rosepaw." she paused to catch her breath.
(((OOC: My Rosepaw Zimlock)))

"The second patrol, lead by Stormstrike, will include Flairpelt, Crystallight, Rosepaw, Reedpelt, Darknight and Spottedsky.

The third patrol lead by Snowfeather will contain Ravenstone, Sunlight, and Stripedleaf.

Everyone I did not call will be in the final patrol lead by Hawktalon." she announced.

"Now, your jobs, My the first one to act will be Snowfeather's patrol. You will scope the camp from the outside at moonhigh. My patrol will split up into four segments, Needleheart, Icepaw, LeopardClaw, Moonshadow and Nightpaw will slip into the Warriors den, try and scare them out... Rosepaw, Thunderpaw and Littlewhisker will wreck havoc in the Medicine den and I will get Foxstar out of her den. Then Stormstrike's patrol will be waiting in the clearing, Snowfeather's patrol will be catching any run-aways and getting injured RiverClan cats out of them.

And finally Hawktalon's patrol will be in camp, preparing for our return." she finished, watching for the Clan's reaction.

[Deleted]

NeedleHeart pushed herself up, although it was quite painful. She still wasn't exactly used to her leg being all "crimpled", she was like a handicap.

She padded up to IcePaw and touched his nose with her own. She said no words, only stood there, soon sitting down.

She made a huff, ears flickering.

-

SnowFeather was glad that she was in a patrol with RavenStone, yet, she didn't want to go into battle.

"Why must we battle?"

She asked.

"I understand what they did, but wouldn't it be expected?"

She was trying to be wise, not to question her leader.

-

SunLight twitched her nose, and moved closer to SnowFeather. She sat there, the look of an apprentice in her eyes.

She wanted to jump in excitement, but how could she?

-

DarkNight growled with pleasure. This is what he wanted. He wanted to prove his strength!

-

Rosepaw couldn't care less. She got up, and padded towards the entrance, just sitting there.
