The medicine cat looked down at Willowkit. "Can you go to the freshkill pile and get some kill from the very bottom that doesn't stink though?" We'll be using that to bait our hemlock with."
She turned just in time to see the loner walking off. Runningcloud rolled her eyes and barked out. "Oi! Just because you're acting pathetic doesn't mean we'll take you back!" the medicine cat snapped caustically, tail flickering. "If you want us to accept you, you should make bloody--er, pardon me, Jasminestar--well that we'd have a good reason too. What are you good at? I don't want some mouse-brain coming here and accidentally eating my bait because he can't recognize poisons or traps well. Are you fast? Strong? A good hunter?"

Willowkit's small head bopped up when she noticed her mentor was speaking to her. As she instructed her to get prey from the bottom of the pile, the gray she-cat nodded and trotted off over to the pile. She sniffed a few pieces and ended up choosing two mice and a bird of some sort. Maybe a robin but it was bloody and old. Though, it didn't smell. With all her might, she was able to pull and push the three pieces of prey back to where Runningcloud sat. Once she was settled, she glanced around camp again for Hyenapaw, though she knew he wouldn't be there. She was quite worried. Willowkit prodded Octoberlies with her paw gently and whispered to him. "Do you know where Hyenapaw is?"

Jasminestar couldn't help but snort a little at the loner's act. She let her self calm down, but her tail still lashed back and forth. She was about to speak, when Runningcloud took the words out of her mouth. She chuckled a little. Err, what Runningcloud said. If we're going to get help, we need to know if you have some skills. She tilted her head a little. What can you do?
ooc; LOL, where I typed 'we need to know if you have skills', I almost put mad skillz instead. XDDD I thought that was a little too unleader-ish, though. XD [/blockquote]

The loner stopped walking and turned. He glared at Runningcloud and dipped his head to Jasminestar. "Well you see, I am a great convincer. I can make Chaosfire believe I am on her side, only to run back here and tell you what has happened. Sure she will probably tear me limb from limb when she finds out what I had done, but it would be worth it to save Moonclan." The young tom dipped his head, hoping he could be of assistance.

Clearpool would have raised her eyesbrows if she could at Teufels words. She looked at Jasminestar and rolled her eyes. This loner was being very noble, sure, but was he bluffing? What if really he planned to do his plan the other way round, make SerenityClan think he was on their side but really he had been telling Chasofire their every move, all their plans all along. She unsheathed her claws and dug them into the ground. She personally would tear him from limb to limb if he even tried it.[/color]

Octoberlies had been watching the events unfold with mutinous eyes. The grey tabby was hunched down on the grass, paws pressed against his chest. He could feel the steady thump thump of his own heart. Octoberlies shut his eyes. He knew he would feel severely useless, sat helping when Runningcloud and Willowkit when he could've been fighting. Octoberlies jumped as a small paw prodded him in the side. The warrior turned to look at Willowkit. "Wha?" he mewed distractedly. He blinked and recognized the words. "Oh, I think he's hunting or something."

"Oh." That was all she could say, her face twisted up as she tried to hold back a worried look but she just looked down at her small paws, hoping that Hyenapaw would be alright. He had been mad at her and she had no reason why. He had given her an evil glare after she had been named Medicine Cat apprentice. Maybe he had liked her more then friends and wanted to be something more but he being Medicine Cat apprentice stopped that. That confused her but more then anything, she wanted him to be safe because even though he hated her right now, she was his friend.

((LOL!!!))
Runningcloud's ginger brows lifted at the glare. Her claws ejected, cross-hatching the ground as she silently listened to the loner. She yawned and looked down, smiling gently at Willowkit. She returned her gaze to Teufel. "Well, you did a flamin'--erhem--rather odd job of 'convincing' me," the ex-deputy growled to herself. Her furry ear turned to Jasminestar, giving her a So..., what do you think? look.
Pansypaw watched with quiet eyes and maw. She still hadn't made a decision on whether or not to trust the loner.

Jasminestar only looked up to the sky. A dreary morning, for a dreary day. Sighing, she turned to Runningcloud. She returned the look with a blank look, to not give anything away. Her tone lowered volume, as she sputtered a reply. Teufel... You may go and spy for us. She could barely keep a surprised look on her own face. She knew her clan needed help, but they weren't that desperate.... Or was she? Her face hardened for a moment. If you do anything so as to betray, I'll flay you myself. She bared her teeth for a moment, showing sharp biters that could wound. Now go.

Teufel nodded, happy that they trusted him. He ran off, coming back a bit later. He dipped his head to Jasminestar. "It is terrible. They have lost. The rogues are taking over. We need to do something soon." He dipped his head again. "I would wish to help you guys win." He meowed.

"We defeated them once. We can do it again," Runningcloud barked briskly, turning away to Willowkit. "All right, Willowkit. We're going to go get started. Use your sense of smell to lead me back to the hemlock and catmint from earlier." The medicine cat gestured for the apprentice to lead.
Pansypaw looked up at Teufel with a faint smile. He seemed a bit more trustworthy now, but she wasn't sure. She stuck close to Clearpool in case she was needed.[/color]

Clearpool looked up, worried. "What about Brindletalon and Crocuspool? Did you see them?" she demanded, although dipping her head slightly to Teufel to show she wasnt angry at him, just worried about SerenityClan. She looked to Jasminestar hopelessly. "What are we going to do?" she whispered hoarsly, her voice suddenly leaving her. Sje hated the thought of losing cats, it was just horrible.[/color]

Teufel dipped his head to Runningcloud and answered Clearpool's question. "No, I did not spot them, but I caught their scent. I heard no fighting, so I think they're okay." He meowed reasssuringly. "I think we ought to-" He was cut off when a orange tabby appeared from the medicine cat den. "Jasminestar I'm sorry. I must speak though. I need to go back to my clan. I need to rid of Chaosfire while my clan is still partly whole. Please Jasminestar, would you lead Serenityclan to aid Moonclan against the threat of Chaosfire?" She asked.
Teufel noticed Firestar and gravely dipped his head. "Firestar... The apprentices.. Most of them are terribly injured... Highfrost... He is... Dead.. Spectreflame... The side of her face is cut up." Firestar's face was mortified. Teufel moved to comfort her, but she stepped away. "Jasminestar we need to go now!" She cried desperately.

Jasminestar nodded to the loner when he came back. "I expected this from Chaosfire." She whispered to her deputy, "I'm not sure, but we're going to have to fight." She turned back to Teufel and Firestar, and her voice was firm. "IAre they not coming here? That is the way Chaosfire is. I wasn't here when she was leader, but it doesn't take much time to know her. You are welcome to leave, Firestar, but what will it do? You want to get injured again?" She furrowed her silky eyebrows. "I want to help you and your clan, Firestar, but you must listen to me. Crocuspool and Brindletalon will be back soon with their report. If not, I'll go check the territory myself. I'll my hardest to save as many clan lives as I can, Firestar. But my clan is my first priority." She bowed her head for a moment. She longed to dig her claws into that traitor's fur, but she had to wait. [/blockquote][/color]

Teufel gave a sheepish smile. "I was getting to that." He meowed. "She mentioned that she will wipe out Serenityclan." He meowed, dipping his head, embarassed.
Firestar shook her head. " I do not wish to leave. I wish to stay for a while." She meowed. "But I understand. I wouldn't do any different, and I respect you for that." With that, she dipped her head and padded back to the medicine den.

Clearpool felt her insides drop like a stone. Not another fight, not so soon. Blue eyes blinked hard as she thought of a way they could stop it, a way they could make everything ok again. But none came. She looked at Jasminestar. "We need a Clan Meeting, to tell everyone. We need a battle plan" she said. 'We need a miracle...'[/color]

The leader only nodded to Teufel. She turned to her deputy. You are right. I must tell the rest of the clan. Jasminestar parted from the group of warriors and leapt on the top of High Rock. She let out a yowl. All clan members come now! This is an emergency!
Petalpaw crawled out of the apprentice's den to answer her leader's call. She stood up and bounded forward, to a place close to where the warriors were gathered. A worried look on her face revealed her feelings. [/blockquote][/color]

Willowkit was slightly startled when her mentor whipped around to face her but she stood tall, and her eyes with wide with a slight coating of fear, as well as exciting. This was the way that she could help her Clan and she knew that. She nodded, remembering exactly where the hemlock and catmint were. Close to the ravine near the Willow Tree Path. She briskly picked up the piece of old yet still good prey in her small maw and began to trot out of camp, trying to ignore the loud commotion behind her.

Runningcloud dipped her head to Jasminestar. The broad-shouldered female looked forlornly defiant for a moment. "We will discuss this later, Jasminestar. I will gather what I need for my plans!" the medicine cat called, hastily bounding behind Willowkit.

Clearpool dipped her head slightly to Runningcloud as the medicine cat bounded out of camp. She then settled into her position at the foot of the Highrock, where Jasminestar had sat mere moments before. She scanned the members of the Clan already in place, silently willing the rest of them to hurry. There was no time to lose, Chasofire was back.[/color]

// You didn't cause trouble, Storm, it's fine. Please, guys. She's new.
Cerulean eyes opened to survey the world. Cherrysmoke rolled over onto her back, pricking up her ears and yawning widely. Her teeth showed, white as moonshine. The she-cat got to her paws, shaking herself and licking her shoulder a couple of times. The red-brown warrior pricked up her ears as she heard Jasminestar's call. Cherrysmoke wondered what was happening. Hyenapaw was the oldest apprentice; and surely he was far too young to become a warrior? The warrior's lips rolled back in a snarl as the scents hit her. MoonClan and rogue, all chewed up with SerenityClan. Cherrysmoke exited the warriors' den, her eyes alight with battle fire. Her mouth hung open. A loner stood in the camp, and she spotted the MoonClan leader, Firestar, disappear into the medicine den. Her heart skipped a beat; she wanted to know what she had slept through, but first she had other priorities. The red brown she-cat ran towards Petalpaw, and stood protectively over her. She would not let this danger, whatever it was, touch her daughter. "What has happened?" she asked urgently, staring into Petalpaw's anxious young eyes.
Octoberlies blinked and raised his head as he heard Jasminestar's call. He had not been listening; he had sunk into angry thoughts of how useless he was. The slender grey tabby tom heaved himself to his paws, wincing as he put his weight on his injured leg. Octoberlies sighed loudly, and limped towards the other cats. He sat heavily beside Clearpool, paws folded beneth him. Octoberlies stared around; cats were emerging from all dens. Where was Hyenapaw? Surely he was not still hunting? Panic began to infect him, but he said nothing. He only hoped Clearpool would not see the worry in his eyes.
A tortoiseshell staggered into camp, her coat splattered with mud. Crocuspool was barely recognizable beneath the mud that coated her fur. She shook herself, spitting out a clump of mud. "It only just stopped raining out there," she mewed. SerenityClan often experienced patchy rain; it was normal to them. Crocuspool sat uncomfortably beside Octoberlies, and glanced around to check Brindletalon had arrived. "We..." Crocuspool stopped to groom her sodden chest. "We have nothing to report," she finished eventually.

ooc; Whatever, Brook. Just don't do it again, please. Storm, you can roleplay. Go ahead. You didn't cause any trouble.
bic; Petalpaw was suddenly overtaken by her mother's shadow. She looked up to her tortoiseshell mother looming over her, with a wor ried expression. She made a face. Maaa! She knew her mother wanted to protect her from whatever was menacing, but she wished her mother would realize she could take care of herself. Nonetheless, she still loved her mother, and kept her opinions to herself. Mother, I'm not sure what's going on. But I'm sure it's not good. She began to look worried, too.
Jasminestar began to speak when the worried clanners had gathered. I have bad news, Serenityclan. Chaosfire is back. She gulped nervously. Chaosfire and her rogues have taken over Moonclan, and are planning to come here and attack. She glupped again. We first suspected something was up when Firestar arrived in our camp, momentarily stunned. Runningcloud was able to recognize Chaosfire's scent on Firestar's fur. Then, when Teufel- She pointed her tail at the loner -was able to go and spy on their camp, our suspections were true. Chaosfire is planning to attack our camp. She was able to make a triumphant face. But Chaosfire is not aware that we know of her attack plan. Now she stood up. We must get ready for battle! [/blockquote][/color]

Pansypaw followed Petalpaw to their mother's side. "I think something bad happened," she said. "Runningcloud was really angry. She looked like she wanted to go back to war. She went off with Willowkit to get the hemlock." She wished she didn't sound like a know-it-all right then and there, compared to Petalpaw and the others. She glanced around as she pressed her ginger tabby frame against Cherrysmoke's flank. She didn't know that her mother might have to fight since they were apprentices now.

Brindletalon stumbled into camp after Crocuspool, sitting down beside her. He nodded to Jasminestar to back up Crocuspool saying they hadnt seen anything and began to groom himself thoroughly as well, screwing up his face in disgust at the taste of the wet fur and mud on his tongue. He kept his ears pricked towards Jasminestar though, so he could hear what was being said. Clearpool scanned the cats and listened intently to Crocuspool as she entered camp. She sighed with relief when she heard they had nothing to report, maybe at least they had a bit of time to prepare. Her clear blue eyes flicked to Octoberlies as he sat down, and she blinked as she saw his worry. "Is everything alright Octoberlies?" she asked, immediately regretting asking such a stupid question when of course everything was not alright, there was going to be a war for StarClans sake! "Sorry, silly question" she said, smiling weakly before turing to face Jasminestar and listen to her leader.

The grey form of Willowwhisper appeared at the entrance of the warriors den. She blinked a few times, trying to wake herself up sufficiently before trotting over to High Rock. She stretched and then sat down, wondering what on earth was going on. She looked around and then tasted the air curiously. She jumped a little as she scented a wounded cat. Glancing around again she wondered who was hurt. She finally gave up trying to figure it out by herself and looked up at Jasminestar. She pulled her tail around her paws and then twitched the end impatiently, wishing that the others would hurry so that Jasminestar could start talking. She shuffled on her paws a little and then forced herself to stay still, her grey eyes still fixed on her leader.

A strong wind blew then, uttering a small howl. It was chilly for this time of day. Jasminestar flicked her ears to bend like the breeze, and her tail swung back and forth, like a metronome. Clearpool, you are in charge of patrols and attack groups. Set up patrols of two or three cats to go search the territory for any signs of rogues or Moonclan. She looked at all the warriors around her. Brindletalon, help gather the kits and young apprentices. Grab a warrior or two and guard them. [/color][/blockquote]

Clearpool nodded to her deputy. She looked around the cats and started organising the patrols in her head, while still listening to Jasminestar. She hped the warriors wouldnt mind the extra work, they were just going to have to deal with it.
Brindletalon nodded and looked aorund foir apprentices. He would go around and collect the kits and apprentices when Jasminestar had said she was finished. He decided on guarding them in the nursery, that would prevent having to move the kits, which would have unsetlled them. He looked shyly at Crocuspool, "Erm...wanna guard the kits with me?" he asked sheepishly, looking at his paws.

Cherrysmoke half smiled at her daughter's outburst, but her eyes were sad. Of course. Petalpaw, Pansypaw and Daisypaw were not kits anymore. The red-brown queen sighed and rubbed the white kitten's flank with her tail tip. As Pansypaw approached, Cherrysmoke licked her between the ears. She wanted to snatch up her kits, all four, and put them safely in the nursery. But this was impossible. Her daughters were apprentices, and Moonkit had disappeared. He was probably dead. Cherrysmoke shivered, unsheathing her claws ready to fight.
Octoberlies turned to Clearpool as she spoke. He wondered whether his feelings had been that obvious. He managed a small smile as she spoke again. "Yeah," he mewed, waving his tail. "I'm okay." The grey tabby warrior turned his green eyes to look back up at Jasminestar. He still felt incredibly helpless. It was so unfair that he could not fight.
Crocuspool turned to look at Brindletalon. Her tortoiseshell fur gleamed after a quick grooming. She smiled at his request. "Um, sure," she mewed shyly, lifting her tail.She then ducked her head to lick her chest a couple of times, out of embarrasment. Crocuspool then looked up at Jasminestar, embarrasment still visible in her eyes, but they're hazel depths were smoky with worry.

((Due to Brook's disappearance, I came up with a story. She wanted Willowkit to be killed by rogues so...))
A loud yowl echoed thunderously across the rocky slopes that guarded SerenityClan. Broad shoulders--ginger-pelted--came forth, holding a limp bundle in her maw as she came across. Another limp object was slung across her back. The she-cat was livid, almost mad.
"I killed them. I swore to," Runningcloud snarled under her breath as she passed the cats. Willowkit lay dead on her back and the medicine cat had scratches that screamed Rogue Attack on her flank and shoulders. She deposited her large catalpa-supported bundle of baited prey in front of her den. She turned to Jasminestar and the others, wild-eyed.
"I KILLED THEM! I DESPISE THEM!" the green-eyed female roared. She slammed her paw on the ground and toppled onto her stomach, Willowkit flopping off of her like a dead fish. Runningcloud's mighty frame sank into the dust, her heavy breaths of anger stirring them.
