Jadestar~

I slowly walk to Ravenstar and Pinefang to "discuss our options." 

"There's only one thing we can do," Ravenstar whispers.

"What?" I ask.

He sighs. "If we give ourselves up, they might let our clans survive. Take us, let the cats roam free. They won't harm anyone without a leader. Once we surrender, we start to take out the rogue clan from the inside. Call in our deputies. Tell them of the rogue's plans. Then they can lead a surprise attack, retrieve us, and we'll attack with our warriors when they don't expect us. Element of surprise."

"Too risky," Pinefang mutters. 

"But we don't have a choice," Ravenstar quietly hisses. "Ready?"

Pienfanf hesitates but nods. Ravenstar turns towards me and I nod.

I sit up and look at Foxears. "We want to strike a deal. We give ourselves to you as prisoners, but our clans aren't exiled. To you, we are liers. Let the punishment fit the crime, but don't punish our clans. Let them roam free but on the territories that you still have."

Foxears eyes me. "Good enough. We move out immediately."

"Give us time to say goodbye," Ravenstar insists.

Foxears glares but sighs. "Fine! Two moments."

We run to our clans and bid our friends goodbye. After I do, I head up to Amberfang. He nods and I smile.

"Till we meet again," I say, and we touch heads.

With that, we are escorted away and we watch our clans safely exit the Gathering.

I catch Amberfang's golden eyes before I head into the forest.  

Omagosh, plot twist! What if Jadestar and Ravenstar fall in love? 

~Foxears

"But remember!" I called after the clan cats, Pearl escorting them off the island and helping the younger apprintances and older elders swim. "You now live on rouge grounds. If ww think that you are over-eating, or if you talk back to us in any way, you will either be killed emidiatly or escorted to the outer-areas. Night will be the new leader of you lost-clans. Pearl will be her heir." 

"That wasn't the deal." Ravenstar growled. "You said that the clans could live peacefully, as one, but still continue the normal way of life." 

"Normal way?!" Night hissed, leaping from her rock to stand nose-to-nose with Ravenstar, who glared back at her. "The normal way, or the clan way? To us the normal way is to hunt and kill whatever we can catch. The normal way is to defend our tarritories with our lives. The normal way! You know nothing, Ravenstar. None of you do." She looked up, meeting gazes with me. I smiled menicancingly. "But you will soon."

With that I pushed Jadestar fowards, and she glared back at me angerly. Then the other leaders followed. We exited to forest to the small beach at the shore, and with our claws sinking into the sand, we started across the lake. The joirnay was short for me, but I could tell that Ravenstar and Pinefang were struggling to keep pace with the Lunareclan ca- one former Lunarclan cat and a Launarclan cat. 

As we stopped at the end, shaking our pelts, I pushed them in the direction of their new-to-be prison. The walk was long, and by the first brake of day we had made it.

I stood, looking down at a cave at the end of the island we lived on, and the rushing river so far beneath. "Walk inside." I instructed with a mono-toned voice. When they hessitated, my hakkes rose. "I said, walk inside!"

Exchanging glances with Jadestar, Ravenstar trotted fowards. But he paused before going in. As I prepaired to shove the rat-headed tom down, he turned and lashed out at me. "This is what a two-timing trator deserves!" He growled, slicing me across the face. 

I roared out in pain as I felt blood leak into my eyes. I couldnt see. Scrammbling around, I lanched myself at the nearest cat. I felt hard limbs bellow my talons, and the fresh ooze of blood. Suddenly something hit my stomich...and I was flying. Expecting to hit the ground at any moment, I braced myself. But when the ground never came and I realized I was still falling, I managed to peel open an eye. I did just in time to see the splash of water as I hit the river of the gourge. Yowling, I struggled against the rushing currant. Rocks scraped my sides, and I realized with a sudden thought that the water....it was salty. Like the rocks we often like for the smooth salt rock.

Flalling my paws around, I was swept underwater. My head reserfaced a few moments later and I gasped. Blinking, I thought what I saw couldnt be real. Ahaid of me streched a vast expanse of water, larger then the lake in mid greenleaf. Spitting out the salty water, I kicked fowards towards the vass expance of water, not daring to look back.  

Hmm, I'm not sure.... Jadestar seems to be loyal to Amberfang, but if something happened to him... I don't know, because that's up to you. If that's going to happen, okay, but if you don't want to kill him off, which there is nothing wrong with that, then I'll have to think about it. But you're right, that would be an interesting plot twist! ;)

I'm also going to say that they let the leader ceremony for Pinefang happen before the three leaders were escorted to the rogues' area. If they didn't let Pinefang become leader, then the deal wouldn't be official, because he technically wouldn't be a leader.

Jadestar~

I would call Ravenstar out as an idiot when he made that move, but I couldn't help but feel something dark grow inside of me, like revenge. Part of me was glad that he did that, right up until the point where Night struck Ravenstar back. Ravenstar ciuld easily cast her aside, but he holds back, and I watch him tensen. 

"DO YOU REALISE WHAT YOU'VE JUST DONE?" Night screeches. "YOU KILLED OUR LEADER!"

I scoff. Silverstar.

I consider striking Night too, but Pinestar beats me to it.

He slashes her face, and blood streams out as she hisses and leaps back. Several cats restrain us, but we don't care. We've made our point.

We slowly are escorted to the dens that are open, but guarded heavily by some cats that look especially strong and malicious.

I'm shoved into one den while Ravenstar and Pinefstar are shoved into another. 

"Is everyone okay?" I calmly say, attempting to calm the others down.

I hear a couple of grunts through the thin wall of intertwined trees next to me, and I let out a breath of relief.

I can faintly see them, because the tree wall is thickly knotted and twisted together. Their eyes pop out the most- Pinestar's golden eyes and Ravenstar's dark blue ones.

Gold, green, and blue.

The colours of a golden and brilliant sun, a deep green forest with fleckles of light, and a dark midnight sky with trees shadowing the sky.

They have the leaders of three Clans.

But we will not back down. 

@Elliot, are you still here? Can you RP as Oak?

@Hope, yes, I said above in my rules that if you join into the story you must be a rouge or someone's kits. So.....maybe Starpaw has yet to join the clans? Maybe after she sees what the rouges do to the clan cats she can join the clan cats and abandon her mother and sibling? (also, can her rouge name be Star?) 

Who was the father of your kits, again? What's his story/name? Maybe he can be Foxears, perhapse? And their first litter/same litter could maybe be Robinpaw and Mousepaw?

So you will be Rping as Pearl? She is Tigerfang's sister, but Tigerfang doesn't know this. Pearl can/can't know this if she wants, and you can make up how she got seporated from her mother/sister. Jadestar and Birchfall are also their younger siblings, boren in a different litter.

Anywho, Mystery, no I'm not currently planning to kill him off. Maybe I'l change my mind, you know, in the heat of the moment. 

Maybe Pinestar's leader ceremony happened before the gathering, because they couldn't let a clan without a leader aproved by StarClan come? 

And one last thing, I know my last post was really fast and not descriptive, but they were far away from the other rouges at this point in time. And they clan's new rouge leaders are Night and Pearl, because they don't quite trust a former clan cat to leader. 

~Ravenstar

"WHAT did you just do?!" I hear Jadestar hiss besides me.

My sides stung from where Foxears had hit me, but I could care less. The trator was dead. "And you told me not to attack?" I hear Pinestar hiss. Then he sighs. "WHat are we supposed to do now?"

"Say its an accident?" I sujest. "Foxears slipped to his doom while escorting us?"

"Yes but to who do we go to? Where do we go?" Jadestar asked. "We just cant go escort ourselves to Night and tell her that Foxears suppositivly slipped off a cliff."

"We run." I say, my eyes suddenly alive. "If we have any luck, they'll assume that Foxears was a trator to them and went off and hid us from them."

"Like they'll think one of their own would betray them." Jadestar scoffs. I couldnt help but note how much she looks and talks like Tigerfang.

"What do you think we should do then?" I hiss back.

~Mousepaw

"Where's the log?" I ask, to maybe StarClan, perhapse. But deffinatly not to the rouges beside me.

"What log?" Oak comments anyway.

"I wasn't talking to you." I hiss fusteradingly, my hakles rose.

Some instinct deep inside hissed at me, and I looked up. There, in the moonlight, were cats. Swimmin cats. I could pick out all three clans...and a bunch of rouges....amoung them. "I didnt know Sunclan or Eclipseclan could swim." I commented to myself. But as I watched more intently, the other cats were cleary struggling and had to have Lunarclan cats help them.  

"Look. There. There's Night."

"And Leaf and Pearl are back there." I add.

We waited paceintly as the rouges pulled themselves onto the beach with the other clan cats trailing them. "What are you doing here?" She challanged, both of us, possibly.

"We came to help." I lied, swipping my tail to cover Oak's muzzle.

He batted it away and nodded, casting a look towards Leaf, his sister. "Ya. We didn't think you could take on all these clan cats yourselves."

"Well, there will be no blood shed tonight." Night said in her cool, calm way that gave you chills. "We made a...deal with the clans. They become one, and will be lead by us, therefore following our rules. The leaders have already been desposed of. Come, make yourself usefull and patrol the perimiters. Make sure no cat escapes. We head to Lunarclan to pick up the clan cats there, then to Eclipseclan where they will be kept." 

I dipped my head, and Oak did the same, before we turned and fastened ourselves against the perimiter. I caught Goldenfang giving me a hate-filled glare, and I returned an apollogetic one to him. His gaze sofened as he realized that we were just playing along. He nodded quickly and looked down. Just another form in the large bundle of cats.

~Wolfpaw

I woke to the sound of paws on crisp leaves of leaf-fall. Blinking sleep, I realizied the sun was peeking out from the treetops. The gathering must be returning. But why so late?
Waking Fireflypaw, Greypaw, Birdpaw, and Robinpaw, I quickly poked my nose out of the den. Instead of the light faces of my clanmates, I saw the dark faces of unfamilular cats. All of which smelled of salt and crow-food. 

Kit squeaking came from the nersury as Littlekit, Starrykit, Lilykit, and Beamkit awoke, but soon sushed by the sharp hisses of their mothers, Onyxheart and Maplefeather. 

"We've come to take over your camp." The bad-smelling cat infront yowled. The three elders emerged from their den with stiffened legs, whilest the remaining warriors started spilling from their den. "Your leader has already surrenedered her athority to me. All of them have. I will rule your clan and the other clan as one. You will follow my rules, my commands, with no objection. The penalty for not is death or sevear wounds."

The clan was dead silent. No one dared respond to the strange cat in our tarritory. Before we could even process anything, cats split from the tights group in the center of camp, and came to each of our dens. Some carried kits, some harshfully pushed the warriors and apprintances towards the exit tunnle, and others nudged the elders fowards. Briarcloud and Frostcloud didn't object, but simply bowed their heads. "I am sorry." Was all they simply said to the clan cats.

I assumed that that apology had to do with missreading a prophocy. Icekit would have known what it ment. Icekit would have known what was about to happen.  

Icekit filled my thoughts as I was shoved out of the camp. Fireflypaw kept close to my side as we left. Both of my siblings were with me in this time of shock.

And as if just to add on, the first cat we saw as we left was the fammilular stripped she-cat who had raised us. Then left us. We stopped dead in our tracks at exactly the same time. I saw my mother's jaw start to open and her paw move up. Withought a single word I walked away, towards Hailfire and Dustfeather who were weighting on the opposite side of the clump. Fireflypaw followed with a simple longing look at our mother. The trator. The trator who was recponcible for us being half-EclipseClan.

I could feal her ice-blue eyes burrning into my fur as I left.
