Feralclaw's tail flicked nervously and he gazed at his blind daughter. He gulped, swallowing hard.

Whitekit meowed in Annoyance at her mother, and continued to walk somewhat aimlessly and smacked into Lightwave's paw, falling over.

Acornkit yipped and tackled into her sister before tumbling off and biting at her own stubby tail.

Ravenwing narrowed her eyes, gazing around camp suspiciously. She noticed Adderstorm. "Wirepelt's right." She growled, eyes glittering in the darkness of a tree's shadow.

Scarstar groaned and got up, looking outside at camp.

Adderstorm glared at Ravenwing. "Nobody asked you." he said angrily. He gazed around camp. "Gingerstorm!" he called. His mother looked up, somewhat surprised.

"What is it Adderstorm?" she purred. "I see you and Ravenwing are getting along together."

Adderstorm snorted. "Yeah, sure. We're going on a patrol to the barn, I'm supposed to take you too."

Gingerstorm went pale. "I-I can't go" she stuttered.

Adderstorm's fur prickled in utter confusion. "What? Why not?" he asked.

Gingerstorm shifted nervously. "I'm expecting kits again..." she said softly.

Adderstorm blushed. "Oh. Lynxclaw will be pleased."

"He already knows" Gingerstorm purred proudly. "Well, why don't you take him with you on patrol, he'd be glad."

"Alright, have a nice day Gingerstorm" Adderstorm said. Gingerstorm smiled and padded into the warriors den again. Adderstorm growled, sitting down. "Great, more siblings that I'm only half-related to." he mumbled. "Ravenwing, go and find Lynxclaw, I'll tell Wirepelt... and Scarstar I suppose."

Ravenwing stuck out her tongue and purred at her mother. She then hissed at Adderstorm. "I'm not your butler. Find him yourself." She growled, flicking her tail and walking off to see her mother. "That's great news Mom!" Ravenwing purred as she came in, licking her mother's head.

Scarstar Emerged from the tall tree he slept in and sat down outside, feeling the wind and staring. His right eye was sealed shut by his scar, a nasty sight. He flicked his stratchy, half-bald tail.

((Uhm, wanna kinda time-skip to when Rocketrage and Featherstorm and Icewing get there? o.o Possibly when Adderstorm's out? lD))

((Omg, Adderstorm and Rocketrage are gonna HATE each other. XD Sure. We'll time-skip to when they go into Rockclan camp. But Adderstorm will be there. *evil grin*))

Adderstorm chuckled at the gray she-cat's matted fur. "Did you ever learn to groom yourself?" he sneered. "What are you doing in Rockclan territory?"

Wirepelt's tail twitched. These cats didn't look like the type to mess with.

Frostbreath stood behind the two larger cats, his tail flicking nervously. He hoped Adderstorm knew what he was doing. He looked up at Ravenwing, looking just as headstrong as her brother, and Scarstar was there too. (If this isn't alright just say so. XD)

--

Rocketrage growled as the tabby tom insulted his sister. "Rockclan, eh?" Rocketrage growled. "I thought you were supposed to be fierce." 

"Rocketrage!" Featherstorm exclaimed. "It doesn't matter, I haven't groomed myself since we left Clou-"

"Nowhere." Icewing interrupted. "Since we left nowhere. It is not of your concern." 

((Tis ok. XDDDD))

Ravenwing hissed at the newcomers, Defending her mother. "Go away!" She snarled, arching her back and baring her sharp teeth.

Scarstar chuckled and stepped forward. "Although it is quite fun to watch you fight, I suppose we need to figure out why these cats have come." His low voice bellowed, Slitted, Wild eyes staring at the threesome. "What are you? I know you are not A regular Feline.... Not any of you." He growled, Circling around them numerous times.

Rocketrage flashed his fangs at Scarstar. "Do not circle me! I could kill you before you had time to bl
ink!" he hissed, his back arched.

Icewing growled, agreeing with Rocketrage. She flared her bat wings and showed her fangs. "After all the nursery tales and myths about us, and even our prescence in the forest as a clan, you don't know what we are?"

"Think about it." Featherstorm said calm and cool. "You'll figure out that we're vampires." She growled, opening her jaws to reveal the bloodstains on her fangs.

--

Adderstorm blinked, and he instantly regretted insulting the she-cat. "Gingerstorm, get back into the nursery" he said.

Gingerstorm went without hesitation, pelting into the shelter with her swollen thudding against her legs.

Ravenwing hissed at them once more, then bounded in with gingerstorm. "Everythings gonig to be alright, Mother." She whispered, standing over her and glaring outside.

Scarstar looked amused at them. "I know that fully well. The question is, why are savages like you coming to our clan with such anger when I know you want to join?" He mused. "Anger and threats won't get you anywhere here." He flashed them a frightening, Fang-filled mouth. He continued to circle them, then stopped in front of them. "So what? Has your leader died? Why would you come to shelter at a clan like this?" He chuckled, still seeming amused with the bunch as if they were a group of kits playing warrior as he regretfully did long ago.

"You truly are a mouse brain" Rocketrage laughed menacingly. "You can just get off your high horse and listen to me now." he hissed. "When I'm here, I'm in charge, and if I'm not, then I kill whoever gets in my way. Why I am here is not your concern."

"Worry about the threat your facing" Icewing snarled. "Don't get cocky with us"

Adderstorm's tail lashed nervously. He mentally begged Scarstar to step down. These cats had bloodthirsty intent, and until he took them seriously and without that stupid grin on his face, that hostility would stay.

Scarstar raised his brow and chuckled. "Have I threatened you, or given you any reason to kill me? Hmm?" He replied. "Well, I'll have you know i'm the leader of this clan, and what I say goes." His mood suddenly darkend and he looked much more frightening then before. "Anyone dare stand before me, I could kill them before they have time to apolagise." He growled, then stood up straight and gave a light laugh as if chatting with an old friend. "But I don't want to Have to do that. So, you want to join us? I must at least know your name first."

((Lol Scarstar is a bit of a Retard with his odd mood swings. lD))

Rocketrage hissed. "If you are the poorest leader I've seen. You and your empty threats" Rocketrage snarled. "I'd like to see you try and kill me."

((You should have stopped at retard. XDDD Even Cloudclan know better than to laugh in a vampire's face and tell him that he could be killed with ease)) 

((XD LOL Him and his big head. lD Dun worry, He'll try not to piss him off.... Too much....))

Scarstar sat down with an odd Amused look on his face. "I do not listen to insults, for they are only poorly spoken words." He replied. "Now, your names, Please?" He didn't seemed phased at all at he vampire's threats. "I am calm, I would like you to also be calm, and to please me me your names."

"Well you shouldn't be calm you stubborn old rat" Icewing snapped, her tail swished.

((I wanna see if they can really set him off. XDD))

Rocketrage stood up and circled Scarstar, examining him. "Could you really call him a rat? I would call him a stubborn old roach." he taunted, ears flattened. He was in hunting mode now.

"Rocketrage..." Featherstorm growled softly. "Now is not the time to hunt."

'I'm not hunting" Rocketrage meowed. "I'm playing games." 

((Lol, That'll do it. lD Coudl bre be like, one of te only cats that has equal power/can overpower rocketrage? Because I was thinking his father was a vamp but his mother wasn't, and he was born not a vamp but with the strength of one. 8D If so, to not make Mary-sue ish, If taunted enough he completely falls apart.))

Scarstar narrowed his eyes. "Really, you would like the challenge the leader of a clan you are trying to enter? How stupid." He Then gave a somewhat maniacal laugh and whipped around, swiftly tackling Rocketrage and keeping his body in the dirt with amazing strength. His tail was lashing as he held him down. "Don't mess wth me, Kit." He snarled.

((Ummm, I don't like that idea very much. :( You have both leaders so far, I think that's plenty of power.))

Rocketrage easily shoved Scarstar off of him. "Re-count you old fox" he hissed. "Each of us counts as ten, and each of you counts as one" he snarled. "I never said I wanted to join your clan, and I never will. I didn't come here for a fight, but I sure as Starclan want one now." He growled. He unsheathed his claws dangerously, sharpening them on a rock, making a terrible sound.

Icewing's tail lashed hap-hazardously.

"Let's just go" Featherstorm growled. "There's nothing we want here"

"You've always been too soft!" Icewing hissed, her icy eyes blazing. "You have been raised on kittypet blood, now you will learn to know better" she said. "We are feasting tonight." she growled, turning her glare to gaze at the Hailclan cats.

Adderstorm sat down, his tail curled calmly around his paws. He certainly didn't want a fight with these cats. 

((Just a suggestion, nevermind. Sorry, your right. Dx I'm selfish. :c))

Scarstar caught himself, but didn't bother to attempt again. "I know you can overpower me, Kit. I am simply asking that you state your name and stop using Words as your claws." He replied calmly. "none of us want a fight, Vamp. We simply want to know." He said, then walking over to the group of his cats and sitting down at the front and curling his tail over his paws. "Please, We have gotten off to a bad start. Let me begin again. I am Scarstar, leader of this clan. My deputy is Wirepelt." He pointed to the She-cat. "And These are my warriors, Apprentices and such. as you can see, we are a small clan. We could use the help of you three, as Cloudclan does not like us very much."

((It's alright. :) I think I would have asked the same.))

Rocketrage's tail lashed, still somewhat agitated. "I am Rocketrage, and this is Icewing and Featherstorm." he said. "We were Bloodclan, led by Crowstar. He was killed by a small volcano on our territory." 

((Haha, If you want, Scarstar can retire as an elder and Wirepelt can become leader. He IS old. lD))

Scarstar looked down and absorbed the information. He then turned to face them again. "So, you are the last remaining survivors?" He asked curiously, scanning the group. Two Grumpy experienced cats and one less experienced Vampire, but would make a much better warrior.

((Nuuu! Not Wirepelt. Wirepelt is a poor character. I've never used her before now.))

"Technically, I was part of Cloudclan. I joined with my brother, Rocketrage to become a real vampire." Featherstorm explained.
