Moving into the Clan

[.:*Hawkstar*:.]

Hawkstar showed no sign of agreement, and no sign of disagreement. She simply allowed the tom to take the lead as the three trekked through the territory. The dark tabby knew that she would have to do some talking to the black cat, but she didn't say her thoughts out loud. She didn't want Hawkstripe to worry himself. Lifting her nose to the cool air above, Hawkstar breathed in the warm scents. Sighing deeply, the leader picked up to a trot until she was at Hawkstripe's side. "How do you think your leader will react to you leaving?" she murmured for the tom's ears only.

OOC:: I know it's a little short, but I have to go...

[{Lunarstar}]

"Not well... If I talk to her alone, I'll probably end up with a scratch, depending on her mood. She has very few in her Clan and I'm her best warrior...She won't be happy to lose me." Hawkstripe whispered back, dreading the upcoming event. Lunarstar hasn't been very happy lately... This could end up very bad...Or okay...Hawkstripe hoped it would be okay.

[*Beechstar*]

Whitefire brought up the rear of the three. She sighed, recognizing the feeling of being alone. I'm not really alone, she thought to herself. I have my kits. She gazed around the forest, feeling the slightest breeze. She looked over at Hawkstar and Hawkstripe and saw that they were talking She couldn't hear them, and didn't try to eavesdrop. She continued walking, knowing they would soon enter StreamClan territory.

OOC: I had a good idea. How about they meet Ringtail, my character, and he brings them to the camp? I really want to post with him. And he's going to have a crush on Whitefire.

[{Lunarstar}]

Hawkstripe sighed as they neared the StreamClan border. Time to greet Lunarstar, he thought as he smelt the familiar scents of his clanmates. He could smell Ringtail patrolling. Lunarstar, he could tell, was in her den. He walked forward more slowly this time, then picked up pace a little. At least he only had to go through Ringtail to start. He and Ringtail had been aquaintances, but Ringtail wasn't the most violent cat.

[*Beechstar*]

A tabby and white cat padded through StreamClan territory. He was renewing scent markers by the NightClan border. Suddenly, Ringtail scented something. It was NightClan, which was expected, but it was in his territory. He ran ahead and spotted Hawkstripe, Hawkstar, and Whitefire. Wow, she's beautiful, he thought. But she not in your Clan, his conscience snapped at him. He cleared his throat and padded over to them. "What are you doing with these NightClan cats, Hawkstripe?" He sniffed his clan mate, but he reeked of NightClan. "Why do you smell of NightClan? And where have you been? Lunarstar is going to kill you when you get to camp."

Whitefire was surprised when Ringtail, the kind StreamClan cat she had met at the Gathering, came up and started pestering Hawkstripe. She wasn't going to stand with his rudeness. She stomped up to him. "We are not going to answer a single question of yours. We are here to speak with your leader." She figured that would give him something to think about.

Ringtail stepped back as Whitefire stomped up to him and yelled at him. Ohhhh feisty, he thought. No, no no! I can't be thinking like this!, he snapped at himself. He looked at Whitefire. "I will not take answers from you. Just Hawkstripe or Hawkstar."

[{Lunarstar}]

Hawkstripe glared at Ringtail. "She's just as important as me or Hawkstar!" He snapped, pressing himself closer to Whitefire. "We are here to see Lunarstar, so either take us there, or we'll go on our own and tell Lunarstar you let NightClan in our territory." Hawstripe meowed, glaring at the other cat. He started to walk around the warrior, angry with the tom's rude behavior.

[*Beechstar*]

Ringtail huffed. "Fine. I'll take you. But I won't be responsible for Lunarstar's actions." He started walking towards their camp, not checking to see that the patrol was following. He walked fast, trying to stop feeling angry. He didn't feel bad that he had said those thing at Whitefire, but seeing Hawkstripe push up against her like he had made him jealous. He looked up and saw that camp was close. He called back at the patrol, "We're almost there!" He looked and saw they were a while behind. He stopped and waited for them.

Whitefire leaned into Hawkstripe as he pushed against her. Ringtail's words had made her furious, but she kept her anger under control. "It's ok," she meowed to Hawkstripe. She started to follow Ringtail, taking the lead of the group. She didn't keep up with Ringtail, for he seemed to be running. She hoped that Hawkstar and Hawkstripe were following her, not wanting to be alone. When Ringtail called back, 'We're almost there' she started to run. "Come on," She called back at Hawkstar and Hawkstripe.

[{Lunarstar}]

Hawkstripe glared at Ringtail as he followed. That tom had no manners. Then again....neither do I, Hawkstripe thought, speeding up as he neared the camp. He stopped as he reached Ringtail, glaring at the warrior. He then continued forward, not wanting to be there all day. Lunarstar. Hawkstripe gulped as he got closer to the entrance. He really wish he didn't have to talk to her. But he did.

[.:*Hawkstar*:.]

Hawkstar had given a nod, then had fallen silent the rest of the way. When they had met up with the StreamClanner, the dark leader had simply given him a harsh glare. Following the new tom, the she-cat stayed close, not leaving her warrior's side. She knew that they were close, but showed no sign of it. Her pale green eyes were locked on the tom in front of her, never leaving his pelt. When he stopped, the dark cat simply brushed past him, her eyes burning. Looking back up at Hawkstripe, she followed him up to the leader's den. He looked nervous. Smirking, Hawkstar decided to play some. Lunarstar sure would be dazed to hear the voice of the NightClan leader. "Lunarstar!" she called into the mouth of the den, seating herself as she waited. Flicking her eyes to the tabby tom, Hawkstar flashed a smile, then looked back at the den entrance, waiting for the leader to exit its belly.

[{Lunarstar}]

"What!? That better be Hawkstripe, bringing an apology for being away with no notice!" Lunarstar yelled up from her den, yawning as she stretched. The stupid cat had woken her up. She glanced out of her den and realized it was sunhigh. The black she-cat sighed.

Hawkstripe almost screamed as Hawkstar called down to his leader. As she asked her question, Hakwstripe replied, "come out Lunarstar! I need to talk to you."

[*Beechstar*]

Whitefire followed Hawkstripe into camp. When Hawkstar called at Lunarstar and she responded, the StreamClan leader sounded mad. The she-cat went up to Hawkstripe and pressed against him for support. She waited for Lunarstar to come out.

Ringtail followed Whitefire into his camp. Hawkstripe and Hawkstar called for Lunarstar, but he went to her den. "Lunarstar, it's Hawkstripe. He brought NightClan cats." He laughed silently to himself, knowing that his leader would be mad that her best warrior brought another Clan into their camp. He walked back down to the waiting cats, and sat with them, waiting for his leader and her anger.

[{Lunarstar}]

Lunarstar yawned as she walked out of her den. There she saw Hawkstripe with two NightClan cats. Hawkstar and a warrior. She narrowed her eyes, but reamined expressionless. "Hawkstripe, why have you brought me NightClan cats?"

"Umm.....Whitefire is pregnant with my kit... I was thinking about moving into NightClan..." Hawkstripe said, bowing his head in shame. He prepared himself for Lunarstar's wrath.

[*Beechstar*]

Whitefire could tell that Lunarstar was mad at Hawkstripe. She decided that she had to say something. "Lunarstar, don't be mad at Hawkstripe. We knew it was wrong, but it was love and it makes you crazy." She sent a smile at her mate. She loved him, and if she hadn't she wouldn't be bearing his kit.

OOC: sorry so short. Low on time.

[.:*Hawkstar*:.]

Hawkstar narrowed her eyes at the way NightClan was said. After Hawkstripe and Whitefire had finished speaking, the dark tabby decided to help things cool down. "Lunarstar, your warrior has come to me and asked for me to allow him into my Clan. He has fallen in love with my warrior, and neither of us can change that. Love happens; you can't control who it will be that you pick to love." She briefly remembered Gray. She had fallen in love with him. "We have come with only a will to speak. Only on this matter, as well. All I ask if for you to grant your warrior a farewell. He has chosen my Clan, no matter how cruel it sounds." Her speech was beginning to sound rather bitter, but then it ended. She held her head high, nothing playing across her face but seriousness.

[{Lunarstar}]

Lunarstar's face brightened at Hawkstripe's words about loving Whitefire. "Oh! How sweet!" She purred, rubbing up against her former warrior. "I hope you two have great lives together! When you're kit's an apprentice, you must introduce me!" Lunarstar mewed, purring happily. She then rubbed herself against Whitefire and mewed, "Take care of him!" To Hawkstar she said, "take care of him and don't let him die!" Then she turned to Hawkstripe again. "Remember, I won't cut you slack in battle!"

"I won't either, Lunarstar. Thank you so much." Hawkstripe replied automatically, stunned by his leader's reaction.

"Okay! Well, ta ta! Off you go!" Lunarstar said, nudging the group towards the exit. She turned towards Ringtail and meowed, "I'd like to see you in my den please." She raced off and immediately ducked into her stone den.
