" Nice mouse Pantherpaw.  I caught this wierd bird thing.  I have no clue what it is.  Do you think it's edible? " Shiningpaw sniffed at the bird curiously,hoping it could be food.  With this thing, they wouldn't have to hunt again for a while.  All the while, she was ignoring Scar's poor table manners.  She had never thought of nonclan cats to be as polite as clan cats were so she expected him to be like that.  Shiningpaw clawed off a few of the birds feathers and took a bite out of it.  It didn't taste as bad as she had expected.  It was sort of like a sparrow or a finch but it tasted a little gamier.  She thought that the bird would be okay to eat and said, " Hey Pantherpaw, if you finshed that mouse then you can come eat some of this bird.  It isn't all that bad. "

((She got her hunting skills from her mother. :3  DArkenedstar caught big prey and now so does Shiningpaw.  Hurray.  I don't know if I'll give her more powers yet.  Mabye she'll disvocer something else later. :3))

((Kk! :D))

Pantherpaw ate joyfuly next to Shiningpaw, feeling her warm fur touch is. He felt a tingling in his belly, but ignored it and just strated to lick himself after eating. Scar finished, and looked up at the trees and around, wondering where to go. Pantherpaw's nose was pulled towards a sertain way, as if he hadn't gone there on purpose, just felt something atract him to go over there. He sniffed around, "Um, let's go this way." He said, pretty sure that he was on that spot for a reason. Scar was heading to the opposite direction. He was getting mad, but then rolled his eyes and followed Pantherpaw, knowing he hadn't killed the two apprentices for a reason. He might as well follow. Scar joined Pantherpaw, and that left Pantherpaw looking back at Shiningpaw, hoping she would agree too. "You can lead the way for now, Pantherpaw." Scar meowed.

Shiningpaw didn't see any reason not to go there.  It wasn't like she had a better idea than pick a direction and go.  Besides, something made her curious about this direction.  She wanted to go that way and certainly planned to.  She looked at Pantherpaw for when he started walking.  She didn't feel like leading the group since he had picked the direction.

((And now back  to Sunclan.))

Darkenedstar and the search teams she had sent out were all exausted.  They had found a few traces of Shiningpaw, but after a while they lost her scent.  They searched for hours after that, but ended up returning to the clan without the missing apprentice.  Darkenedstar didn't feel like eating when she got back to camp.  Her stomach growled but she was to upset to care.  Her daughter was missing!  She felt auful.  She felt like she should had kept a closer eyes on her, that she should have protected her more.

((Aw...Poor Darkenedstar.  She probobly will end up thinking Shiningpaw is dead. :(  ))

(D8>)

Lovestar felt like she was melting, lying below the hot sun, but she didn't care. She missed Pantherpaw so, so much... Everytime she got up, she felt like she would fall down and die. The hot beams of the sun made her feel numb with heat, and she was sure she could lose all her lives right here and right now.She was dizzy and confused, and she still loved her other two kits, but it was still a complete pain in her heart for her dear kit, Pantherpaw. He wasn't even a warrior yet, he couldn't even survive alone! But no, the thought didn't make her heart break, it destroyed it...

Lavapaw came running over to Lovestar, and licked at her fur and face. "No! Mom, don't do this, the sun is waay to hot, it's not good for you!" She cried, and Lovestar looked at her with twisted thoughts, "I know..." That's the point. Lovestar sighed and got up slowly, heading down to the half dried-up lake. Volcanopaw joined them, and helped. Lovestar was feeling really week. "Mom, can I go to the clan meeting? It's today at night... And I haven't gone there yet." Volcanopaw meowed, and looked down in sympathy at her mother.

"Wha...? ...OH! The clan meeting! I forgot!" Lovestar thought how she could possibly forget, when she was the leader of a whole clan! Thoughts rushed into her mind, and then felt calm again as she felt the water she was drinking keep her alive again. They all padded back to camp, and Lovestar immedietly started looking for cats to take. "Um, yes, Lavapaw and Volcanopaw, you're coming. And Starwalker and Nightshadow, of course... Uh... Sunpelt! You're coming too. And Blossompetal, Crownedlion, Warmheart, Boarfur, and each of your apprentices." She stammered, until she knew then who would be best to bring. "We're leaving at night." She finished, and left.

((I forgot how to say when all of the clans meet at full moon, so I just said clan meeting... I think that's it...))

Pantherpaw started padding around, sure of what he was doing and where his paws were taking him.

((Do you agree if I make this group private? Just us, cuz no one else comes back, ever, or like in 3 months Dx)) 

((Sure, if you want to.  I don't really mind weather something is private or not.  So long as it entertains me. O3o))

Darkenedstar sighed, looking around her camp.  Wasn't there some sort of clan meeting soon?  She had to decide who would go...later.  For now, she knew she needed some way to cool off.  Even in her nicely shaded camp, it was getting to warm for comfort due to her darkly colored fur.  She decided to go swimming to cool herself off.  It might alos releive some of the stress of losing Shiningpaw. " I'm going swimming.  Anybody want to come with me? "  She asked to any cat around.  She knewe this quesion might sound crazy to them, but she wasn't as afraid of water as other cats.  She enjoyed shifting into her larger form and using the extra large paws to propel herself through the water on hot days like this.

((Good.  She is going to take her mind off of it.  That will do her some good. :3  I don't know what to do with Shiningpaw though.  Should they run into a badger or something?))

((may I join?))

((edit: sorry for not reading the above two posts, but if you want to make it private that's ok and i'll leave.))

((Panda: Haha, okay :3 And for now, nothing is going to happen, they're just padding until they're too tired and all go to sleep. They're obviously going the wrong way(IF they're going back to camp.), though. StarClan are taking them to... I have no idea. >_<' But the two apprentices are supposed to have the same dream that night of the clan meeting, seeing how sad the leaders are and everything, and a StarClan cat is showing them. Probably Moonwhisper and Jacklefur, cats of SunClan, and Rippedstar, Lovestar's mother, from LoveClan. Then when the clan meeting ends, so does that part of the dream, and then the StarClan cats speak to them about the prophecy, which I pretty much have no idea about right now...

Pyro: Yeah, sorry... But I think I'm just keeping it private.))

Starsong shot up his head from his den and looked at Darkenedstar, he smiled and calmly joined her. "I will." He said, knowing she would need comfort from her mate, now that they lost a precious kit. He hoped, maybe somehow StarClan would tell him something... 

Lovestar felt her soul begin to feel with energy and her heart beating softly again as the sun slid slowly down the mountains, leading the full moon to rise back up. It was still not yet for the meeting, and it wasn't close yet, they had to wait until the full moon reached the middle of the sky, but right now it was just starting to show itself.

She, and the warriors she had picked got back from an easy catched hunting patrol, and many cats started to eat. She desparately waited for the sun to go, because she was sick of it.

((Scar:

  tle="Click for a larger view" width="437" height="308" />

Since he was a random kit found, I chose a really exotic look half-kittypet cat. :3 He also looks evil but REALLY cute at the same time xD Which makes it hard to believe he's one of the bad guys, which is good, for him.))

Darkenedstar nodded and looked around.  None of the other catss seemed particularlly eager to go, so she went on ahead with Starsong.  She felt like her daughter might still be alive, but she wasn't sure wether that was a good thing or not.  She didn't realize it, but as she padded along, her claws dug slightly into the ground from stress.  She decided that she would go see Starclan as soon as possible.  Mabye she could take an apprentice or too while  she went.  Get a few different things done at once.

((Yay!  Wandering!  I think the profeccy should say something about them being wary of Scar and that he starts disliking them so he tries to kill them in their sleep or something. O3o))

((Lol, sounds good... We´ll see :3))

Lovestar got up to her paws and stared around the camp, as quickly cats moved around in the clearing until they were all settled around her, ready to leave. She looked up at the darkening sky, and the silver moonshine from almost, but not yet, risen to the middle of the sky. She hoped she wasnt late. 

The leader of LoveClan leaded her clan to the Shadow Forest, where the meetings were held. She could barely scent SunClan cats as she p*censored*ed near the border, and soon found herself looking somewhat far away to the Forest. For some reason, the Shadow Forest was always really dark, darker than any night she had been on. There was no little space where there werent any pine trees on, except for that one place, in the middle of that small dark forest, that was a big clearing in which at the top the moon light spilled in. When the clans usually got there it was still dark, and the meeting would not start until the moon shone fully below them, and wouldnt end until the moon had completely p*censored*ed the little hole that the trees circled for the moon to shine through. Unless, the clans were about to start a fight and StarClan sent a cloud to cover the moon and finish the meeting.

Pantherpaw stopped padding, when suddely his saw his paws touch sand. He looked back at him, where Shiningpaw and Scar were, exactly where there was a huge jungle they were justing p*censored*ing through. He looked up, the full moon reminded him of the clans meeting that day. His eyes clouded in sadness, until he suddenly heard the weirdest water sound he had ever heard. Very far away, where the smooth sand stretched all along, was an enourmous stretch of water with big waves and huge rocks that poked out from the sand. The air around him was humid and really hot, just as terribly hot as it would be right now with the clans. All he did was look back at his friends and he knew they would rather sleep on the jungle side and then look around at the surroundings in the cold light of the morning. He curled up near a random tree, and fell asleep. The start of his dreams was a really dark forest, which reminded him of the "Dark Forest" his mother haad always talked to him about.

(( I have read all of the first grou pand about half of the second.  I don't remember how long ago.  I think I may have a reread some of the books around Christmas time but I don't think I did...Oh!  I figured out today that I'm one of those beta tester people.  I feel proud of myself.  I found a bug all on my own :3))

DArkenedstar had returned to campwith just enough time to pick out the cats who were going to the clan meeting, whichshe had just remembered, and set out at a brisk pace in order to get there at te right time.

((You can pick which of you cats go.  I'm to lazy to go looking through the list of names and picking some out. X3))

They reached the Shadow Forest fairly quickly thanks to Darkenedstar urging them to go quickly so they wouldn't keep Loveclan waiting.  They arrived a few minutes after Loveclan did.  Darkenedstar signaled for the cat to go on ahead into the clearing to socialize for a few moments before she and Lovestar held their little meeting.

Fernleaf watched with curiostity as Suclan cats poured in, carefully examining some of the new cats.  She wondered about until she found herself in a group conversation with Crownedlion, Warmheart, and Nutstrike.  They all contentedly chatted as they awaited the begining of the meeting.  They talked of how well apprentices were learning, various rumor about cats that seemed both logical and mouse brained.

Prismsky sat next to her sister nervously.  This was her first clan meeting as a warrior!  She felt a little fluttering in her stomach as she wondered if any Loveclan cats already knew and if the warrior ceremonny was going to be anounced while the leaders talked.  She was tto excited to really do much other than wait nervously as Lightcloud spoke to p*censored*ing cats casually.

Starwalker gazed calmly around the clearing at the cat in the clearing.  Most seemed to be fairly happy, but there were some who seemed a little more upset.  She wonderred if anything had happened at their camp or if tthose sad cats were just unhappy for some reason.

Boarfur sat next to Nightshadow, neither of the two talking much.  They mostly were monitering the apprentices that hadn't come to a gathering before so that if they began to talk about something to secret, they could go over to stop them.  They didn't talk much because neither had anything to talk about.

((Oh, sorry. I've been haunting this thread, but I've never had an actual chance to join. may I pop in please?))

((Um, Fullmoon, you were in the thread. You can still stalk it, but you can't be a member anymore because you never posted anything and I changed the Rp to private. :/))

Cinnamonstone from SunClan sat to the right side of the huge round cut off tree trunk, next to Starwalker which did not look at her as her apprentice anymore but a young medicine cat from another clan. Starsong sat to the left side, and waited for Nightshadow to join him. The clans were starting to settle in their places. Lovestar jumped up to the high cut off tree trunk with Darkenestar and the moon shone below, suddenly everything seemed like silver daylight.

Lovestar began, but looked down at both clans first. SunClan cats looked as well fed as much as LoveClan cats did. Well, of course, it was Summer, the only thing they couldn't find as much was water, but no matter what happened they would always have the Blue Sea, even if it's dangerous salty water.

"We have three new apprentices, Volcanopaw, Lavapaw..." She paused, "And Pantherpaw." Her clan noticed she didn't mention they were her kits, but it looked very obvious when the cats from both clans cheered at the two female apprentices that looked so much like Lovestar. "We cannot seem to find an apprentice... My kit. Pantherpaw, he dissappeared two days just after turning an apprentice, and I believe you have him as a prisoner, because we've already look everywhere." Lovestar's fur stood on end, "And if you don't give him back we'll make sure your clan's blood is spilled." Her big round eyes darkened and she stared at Darkenedstar for an answer.

LoveClan cats started to give suspicious looks at the SunClan cats, as if they hadn't thought of that posibility before.

---

Pantherpaw dreamed all of this with Shiningpaw.

((Really? You should totally read the others too! There's like TONS of other series, go to warriorcats.com, you can see them there. You really should :P And what do you mean you're a  beta taster people? xD))

((I get to try out those new avatar things before other people. :3))

Darkenedstar listened to Lovestar with slight surprise showing on her.  She thought up a reply for a few moments before saying, " WE too have lost and apprentice.  Her name is Shiningpaw.  We do not have Pantherpaw with us, Lovestar.  My clan does not know where either  of the apprentices are just like yours.  Now that I've heard that your apprentice has gone missing as well, I think I know a little bit about what happened.  The two must have left camp for some reason.  They might have found each other and then left the territory for some reason.  I don't know why they would leave like this, but they have. " DArkenedstar thought her idea sounded pretty good.  She wasn't sure wether the Loveclan cats wwould agree with her idea, but she thought it was likely enough. " I also would like to say that we have two new warriors, Prismsky and Lightcloud. "

Prismsky wasn't sure wether to be proud now or stay somewhat nervous.  The Loveclan cats were seeming awfully hostile towards Sunclan.  Would Starclan have to end this meeting tonight, she had heard that if the clans started to fight, Starclan might cover the moon and make them leave.

Nightshadow had shifted to sit next to Starsong.  He looked at him curiously to see what Starsong was feeling right now.  It would tell him a little about what he was thinking.

" No. " Darkenedstar replied, lightly leaping from her position to lead her clan back home as quickly as possibly. She could see that most of them were tired and wanted to go to their dens and get some sleep.  Darkenedstarr looked at them, knowing she felt tired too.

Nightshadow looked at Starsong for a few seconds before padding away to round up any cats that were still trying to wander or talk to other cats so they could leave.
