Excuses![Crookedstar/open]

[Tanglekit]

Tanglestar walked into the clearing with her warriors at her side. "I believe we have a matter to discuss Crookedstar.", she said with a smooth tone. She kept her tail on Rinpaw's shoulder the whole time knowing that the apprentices scent would draw two very familiar cats. "I would like to propose something to you and your clan if that is alright.", she asked in the same tone coated with a smooth honey texture. She saw cats drawing nearer and nearer at the sight and scent of Thunderclan cats in her camp. But intruding was nothing new to them now was it.

Very familiar scents reached Froststorm from outside the warrior's den. They made his pelt prickle, his lips curl, and his claws unsheathe. The pale tabby wanted to race out then and there and slit their throats, letting their blood spill on the ground. But then he realized where he was. Fox-dung! Every cat in RiverClan would see. I'd be run out faster than a fish can swim. Flattening his body into his nest, his icy blue eyes peered out from the opening of the den. He growled quietly as he saw the first two cats on his hit-list, Riddlehawk and Rainpaw. Why did they have to be the cats to come? They must have known his position.

But there's nothing wrong with me chasing intruders off our territory... Maybe accidently into the river? The thought riled his bloodlust, and the tabby rose from his nest and stalked out into leaf-bare's dim light. He growled. "You think you can just show up on our territory?" he spat, hair raised, as he spoke to Tanglestar while eyeing Riddlehawk. "You're not welcome here!"

[Tanglekit]

"I am here to talk to your leader, Frostorm I hope that is quite alright, Seeing as a few of your clan have been on Thunderclan territory alot lately.", she said her voice softer than before. She knew what Rainpaw and Riddlehawk's scent must have been doing to him. "Do you need anythig from us or can I alk to your leader or at least your deputy?", she asked in the soft smooth tone. There was no need to agitate all of Riverclan's warriors.

[CROOKY]

Miragepaws nose was thrust into the air as she scented thunderclan. "Thunderclan!" She spat before leaping up and running near Froststorm. "You are trespassing on Riverclan Land!" She looked at froststorm ready to attack and poised herself as such.
---

Cheetahtail had been ready to take out darkpaw when the intruders came. "Thunderclan Dung!" She hissed slitting her eyes and standing in front of her apprentice. He could defend himself well enough but it was the principle. Mentor protected Apprentice..right?
---

Crookedstar emerged from her den. "Tanglestar, what do you mean by bringing a whole party on to our camp like this. This is not a peaceful meeting." She flicked her tail signaling her cats to bar off the other cats. "I will speak with Tanglestar alone in my den. Riverclan will run off the rest to the border to wait. You may choose one cat to stay in camp." She sclosed her eyes and waited for the thunderclan cats to either be driven off or come to her.

[Tanglekit]

"A mere few warriors and a medicine cat apprentice do not pose a threat in my mind.", she sighed walking to the den. "I want Rainpaw to stay but with me if you don't mind?", she said waving her tail for the apprentice to come to her. "He is not safe in or out of your camp.", she merely pointed out. She walked into the den leading Rainpaw close behind her. "If you wish to summon your medicine cat that is wise. I have mine for counsel.", she said hoping that her medicine cat would look highly upon her idea. She didn't sit down waiting for the Riverclan leader to enter and sit before she would.

[Deleted]

Froststorm sneered at Riddlehawk, his tabby striped tail lashing out behind him. "You heard her. Start running." His eyes flicked to Miragepaw and Cheetahspots. Whatever he did next depended on the matter of them coming or not.

Either way, it should be good.

[Deleted]

The 'Plump' she-cat was padding in the camp, not acknowledging the familar cats. She turned, and blinked at Rainpaw, as in something that she would never do, Friendliness.

She padded over, a quick glance at FrostStorm.

"Calm down, FrostStorm."

Her ears flicked.

"Hello, RainPaw. How is the prey running in Thunderclan?"

[Deleted]

Fireleaf was not surprised at ThunderClan, but not happy either. She padded up to Crookedstar, "Would you like me to come Crookedstar?" she asked in a hushed voice so ThunderClan couldn't hear.

~~~

Goldenfur was furious at the remarks but she decided to keep her head high and ignore them. She would only obey her leader or Riddlehawk.

[Deleted]

Riddlehawk smirked at Froststorm, keeping his cool the entire time he sat there. He flicked his tail, listening to what was being said between the leaders. And the other cats.....

[CROOKY]

Crookedstar nodded to Fireleaf. "You will come in stead of the medicine cat Fireleaf." She looked at Froststorm and Needleheart she considered them her strongest warriors. "You two are in charge of making sure these cats are off our land." She said before sitting down in her den. "Speak."
---

Cheetahspots nodded to Froststorm. She whipped out her paw not to hit anyone but to urge them along. "You heard them, move." She hissed.
---

Miragepaw walked over to Needleheart. She waited for needleheart to tell her how to proceed.

[Tanglekit]

"I want your alliance, Crookedstar.", she said coolly. "As you know Riverclan has been stealing Thunderclan prey, I want to make a deal, Your alliance for our prey.", she said in the smooth cool tone that had masked her entire tongue. She felt very optimistic that her deal would make it through the line of Crookedstar's thoughts. "If not then don't plan on returning to Thunderclan anytime soon.", she smiled.

[Deleted]

Froststorm wanted to grimace. The others were coming. He couldn't be able to go far enough with his plans, but it would have to do. The pale tabby narrowed his eyes and started slowly padding towards the ThunderClan cats. "Well? Do we have to count to three for you?"

[Deleted]

OOC; .. Who is NeedleHeart's REAL apprentice..? She now has Miragepaw AND FlairPaw..? I am confused.. >.<

The she-cat looked at MiraglePaw and tilted her head forward.

"Stay here. Along with all the cats. FrostStorm has to come along though."

Her ears flicked, and looked at the RiverClan cats.

"Go. Or we will chase you."

((Ah, sorry I'm late. And Clear...was that Needleheart that was friendly to Rainpaw?))

Rainpaw glanced to Tanglestar, surprised she would pick him to stay. He knew she wanted him safe, but still...why not Riddlehawk? He was deputy after all. He met eyes with Froststorm, no fear showing but instead resentment and anger. He wasn't anything to this cat, just a way to get to Riddlehawk. He hadn't even cared if he had ruined his life or not. He followed Tanglestar, keeping close as she had requested from him. He blinked in surprise as she asked Crookedstar if she wanted his medicine cat as well, that she had hers for guidance. 'Me? Is she really talking about me? Or meaning she'll consult Dappledfrost when we return?' He looked to Tanglestar, then out to the other warriors. Crookedstar had commanded them to be run out and the leaders had started talking but..."Wait, Tanglestar..." He interrupted, frowning as he glanced back to her. "Please excuse my interruption but...should we not be allowed a few warriors to stay? Otherwise it's just you and me alone in Riverclan territory and...those odds don't seem fair." He said, his voice soft but determined. He then looked up to Crookedstar respectfully. "No offense, I'm just not real trustful of Riverclan cats." He murmured, indicating his injured leg as the reason.

Goldenfur didn't move, "I obey those in higher than me, not measly fish swimmers." she sneered. "Those include My clan leader, my deputy and my medicine cat. Not You!"
