Bloodstar strutted into the clearing, showing his glory without aggression. "Good evening Nightstar." he said, jumping lithely onto the large rock where Bloodclan sat. "I have some things to report." he said. "For one, Darkclan has risen to it's former glory since my, re-arrival to find the previous leader, eh, dead."

Sparrowpaw's ears flattned. She had never smelled Darkclan before. Disgusting! She saw their medicine cat stalk into the clearing, sitting as far from Stormclan as possible. Weren't medicine cat's supposed to be caring.

((I modeled Nightcloud after Yellowfang in the series XD just for those of you who were wondering))

Nightcloud sat at the end of the clearing with flattened ears, representing annoyance. Why wans't Bloodstar talking about the attack Stormclan had launched on her? Were theytrying to start a battle? Her scrathes still stung and there was still other places where fur was missing. She knew her cut might be infected, but she had no more herbs to treat herself.

((Ooooooh, ok!))

Skyshadow stared at Chippaw in dismay as she watched her apprentice collaspe. She hurridly grasped Chippaw by the scruff and into the forest. She saw her brother and quietly muttered "I need to take Chippaw back to camp really fast. I might not be back until after the Gathering, so cover for me, will you?" She told Shadesky. "Sure thing." He replied, turning towards Chippaw. Skyshadow once again picked up Chippaw and brought her to the ravine. She was worn out and the journey down the ravien would be too stressful. She dashed off, looking for any herb that could help Chippaw. She found some cobwebs, moss, and a few herbs and brought them back to where Chippaw was. She then tried to treat the infections and anything else that was wrong with her apprentice.

Nightstar nodded, acting as if she was listening intently though she really didn't care as she already knew that. "Very well. Leafstar has retired, for she had been attacked by a family of foxes. We have some new warriors also. Shadownight and Blazingheart. Our new apprentices are Chippaw, Lynxpaw, Foxpaw, and Sparrowpaw. And Frostwing is the new deputy." She stared out into the clearing, looking out at all the cats. She saw that Chippaw and her daughter were missing, but she said nothing as she hoped they would be ok for whatever they were doing.

Deathfang stalked across the clearing, jumping up to where the deputys sat and took a seat next to Frostwing. "You're the new deputy?" He held his tongue, and then continued on. "Congratulations." He sounded sort of nice, but his eyes were as cold as leaf-bare.

Fishleap nodded approvingly. "Sure thing! Just let me get a mouse before we go. It seems as if I haven't eaten in moons!" She told Terrorpaw as she bounded down the tunnel and into the camp. She looked in the fresh-kill pile, spotting out a juicy mouse. She delightfully picked it up, ripping into it and ravenously eating. Once she had finished, she stretched, then noticed Foxtail a few fox-lengths away.

Bloodstar nodded. "I have appointed Nightcloud as our new medicine cat after Berrybark died of the plague we had. We have Terrorpaw and Soulpaw for our newest apprentices and Foxtail recently joined our clan." he said casually. "Also, I'd like to report an attack on our medicine cat by two of your warriors, Shadesky and Skyshadow." he said.

Nightcloud's pelt bristled. Finally!

Shadesky sat silently, disgrace and rage burning up inside his heart. DarkClan was accusing StormClan for attacking, when they were stealing StormClan's herbs! A low growl started up in his thorat, until he turned to see the same rogue he had encountered days ago hiding behind the ferns. "What are you doing here?" He hissed.

Nightstar glared at Bloodstar, staring him down with ice cold eyes, turning to mint green. "Last I heard, Nicloud was stealing our herbs, for which gave us permission to attack. And how were we to know that she was the medicine cat? One of my warriors reported that they were told that she was a medicine cat only just before she'd left. So actually, DarkClan were attacking StormClan." She meowed defiantly.

Shadow looked around, listening intently on what the two leaders were saying. It was unbelievable, that the DarkClan leader had accused StormClan of attacking the medicine cat! She had been stealing our herbs, and we weren't just going to sit around like the borders were nothing!

Nightcloud hissed, but Bloodstar silenced her with a flick of his tail. "Nightcloud, is this true?" he asked, motioning for her to rise.

Nightcloud stood up with a growl. "Yes, I splipped over the border once or twice, but I only took one herb from them so that I could treat my ingrown claw, when I was visiously attacked by a warrior. And after telling them I was a medicine cat, they proceeded by insulting me, then attacking me." she said.

Bloodstar turned to Nightstar calmly, his deep red eyes burning into her pelt.

Skyshadow urged her way on, and dropped Chippaw off at the medicine cat den. She hoped Chippaw  would be ok on her own, for she knew that she would probably be needed at the Gathering about the conflict between her, Shadesky, Sdhadow, and the DarkClan medicine cat. She rushed back to the Gathering, panting when she got back She arrived just in time to hear Nightstar question her.

Nightstar eyed her Clanmates, scanning the area for any sign of Skyshadow. She thought for a moment, then said, "Skyshadow, Shadownight, and Shadesky were all there, is what I've heard. Are you telling me that we aren't allowed to attack cats whom have crossed the border? It is said that you must challenge all cats who cross the border, but you must not kill. Clear enough? And for your information, Skyshadow is the new medicine cat, whom was protecting Clan herbs."

Sparrowpaw jumped and followed the warrior. "Who is that?!" she hissed, bristling.

Bloodstar shrugged. "Fair enough, but the attack should not have continued after Nightcloud explained herself." he said.
