Patrolling The Borders

[d[-_-]b Midnight d[-_-]b]

Shadowgaze pads out of the warriors den, her eyes full of mistrust. She sighs as she looks around the camp, eyeing each of the cats that meet her gaze. Come on, Shadow; it can't hurt to try to socialize She thinks to herself, her eyes changing from mistrust to awareness. "Would anyone like to join me on a patrol around the borders?" She mews, looking around at the cats around the camp.

Metalkit's ears twitched, and he raised his head. A warrior wanted to go out on a patrol! And he wanted to go so bad. It's not fair that Stonekit got to go and fight without me. I was in another part of the forest and missed all the fun! I want to fight a SoulCat. Metalkit turned over onto his stomach, and eyed the clearing. His mother wasn't around. Slowly, he got to his paws and casually strolled over to Shadowgaze with his long legs. When he got to the she-cat, he looked her straight in the face. "I want to go with you!"

(Does this count as like a 70+ word thing? All I'm RP'ing at the moment is in camp xD)

Whitefire turned her head and yawned widely. She had been sunning near the Warriors den for a long time in silence and the sound of Shadowgaze's voice had woken her up easily. Shadowgaze was new to DeathClan, so by the sound of her voice, she was rather nervous to call out and ask in the open who would want to patrol the borders with her. Brave cat.

Whitefire heaved herself to her paws and stretched to wake herself up. She shook her head, blinked a couple of times, then strode up to Shadowgaze and...Metalkit? What'd he want? Her question was answered soon after.

"I want to go with you!" He has said. Once again, brave. Whitefire half smiled. His sister wasn't around, so this was his time to shine. Of course! "I'll come." Whitefire mewed, wrapping her tail over her paws as she sat down. "And Metalkit will come anyways, if you say no, so I advise you say yes." She shrugged. "He's just like Stonekit was." [/color]

Shadowgaze smiles warmly at the two cats approaching her; she wanted to prove that she was loyal to this Clan more than ever as she had never been part of the Clan life; one that she liked anyways. "Alright, Whitefire, you probably know the territory a little better than I do, so where do you suggest we start? Once we get movin, I'll just follow the scent." She mews, her eyes shining brightly at them; concern flickered every now and then, but she wouldn't let her emotions and instincts ruin her chance of actually making friends.

"And, Metalkit, sure you may come. Just stay by Whitefire and me, and if there's danger do exactly as we say; we don't want one of our young Clanmates hurt. You'll be an important warrior one day, and we want you to be the best you can." She mews; she knew she was overdoing it, but she didn't care. Cats were starting to actually talk to her and communicate with her, something that never happened before. She, for once in her life, was happy around other cats. And not just any cats; her Clanmates.

[Golden /~/ Shatter]

Metalkit turnd his head as Whitefire padded up to them. She had just been made a full warrior, trained under Shattergaze. He had watched them train once. Cool...another cat to come on the patrol! He was excited, he hadn't been able to sneak out of camp in a long while.

As Whitefire spoke, Metalkit grinned. "Yeah, Whitefire's right, if you say no I'll come anyways." But when the warrior instead said yes, he lit up and bounced up and down. "Alright, awesome! This is going to be great. So," he looked at the two warriors, "Where are we going to go?"

[d[-_-]b Midnight d[-_-]b]

Shadowgaze's eyes widen in surprise that even two cats volunteered to come with a cat new to the Clan, esp. one that was a rogue not too long ago. She suddenly has a warm feeling in her chest, and a tingling sensation in her paws as if they were itching to get a move on. What is this? She think to herself; she had never experienced this kind of emotion before.

"Where are we going to go?" Metalkit had asked just moments ago; Shadow shrugged her thoughts off for the moment as she thought about what she was going to say to the kit; he is going to be a great apprentice when he gets older; so eager to experience life...

"Well," Shadowgaze pauses, thinking hard about the new territory. "We're going t- to start off by patrolling the.. umm.. West side of the borders..." She mews, stuttering a bit. "A- Anyways.. I-I guess we should get moving.." She mews, padding out of the camp, blushing at the fact that she's stuttering so much.

Come on! You've got to show that that you aren't afraid! Just because they're unfamiliar cats doesn't mean that they are all mean. If they were mean, they would have killed you already. You stayed out on your own for a long while when you were just a young apprentice; toughen up! She thinks, arguing with herself. She shakes her head to clear her mind of the nonsense; She sticks her head up high and pins her hears forward, listening for the slightest off-balance in the forest. She may be new to the territory, but she's learned, even by the scents, when something is going wrong.

Nightpaw had followed Metalkit, Whitefire, and Shadowgaze out of camp, wanting to join their patrol. "Do you mind if I join?" She asked Shadowgaze; afterall, Shadowgaze was the one who had thought of the idea for a patrol in the first place. She barely got to do anything like this anymore; because she was a Medicine Cat Apprentice she had to collect herbs and heal cats and rarely had time for anything else. Because there had been no battles with an extreme amount of injury, however, their den had been quiet and Deathsong had allowed Nightpaw to do what she wanted for the day; they had no more work to do, it seemed. And, as Nightpaw thought about it, there was a high chance of running into SoulCats and fighting; they would probably be keeping their borders patrolled more and more often, and that meant more fun for her.

[d[-_-]b Midnight d[-_-]b]

Shadowgaze lifts her tail as a signal to halt. I hope that's how they do things around here... She thinks suddenly feeling embarassed. She hears someone calling from behind them; she turns around to see a small, she-cat, whom she believes she saw in the Medicine Cat den.

"Do you mind if I join?" The she-cat mews once again as she catches up to the small patrol.

"Of course you may join." Shadow mews, smiling; she feels that warm feeling in her chest and the tingling in her paws once more. Could it be... happiness? She thinks to herself, wondering why she keeps feeling this feeling --whatever that feeling may be-- "Oh, you're Nightpaw, right?" She mews; she didn't want to make the mistake of calling someone the wrong name. There's so many cats... And such different names... It's so neat... She thinks, padding on.

"Yes, I am," She replied, dipping her head to the Warrior. Nightpaw's eyes gleamed with excitement, as they always did when she thought of the prospect of annoying some SoulCats. Her tail swished from side to side, and she flexed her claws a few times, dragging them through the grass. She could tell that Shadowgaze was very nervous around other DeathClan cats, and that she didn't want to mess up around them and to prove her loyalty. She smiled at that; one less cat who wouldn't bug her. Not like she was particularly bothered by anyone in DeathClan. Nightpaw looked down at Metalkit; so she had let a kit join the patrols? Metalkit seemed to be wanting to prove himself; how nice. And Whitefire just stood there, smiling.

[d[-_-]b Midnight d[-_-]b]

Shadowgaze turns around and pads forward, following the scents drawing her nearer and nearer toward the border. She suddenly stops when she hears a yowl of pain. She freezes and scents the air; Blood... Cat blood... She thinks to herself.

"Did you hear that..." She whispers to the small party of four. "I can scent the stench all the way from here... This can't be good.." She mews, her instincts overcoming her nervousness. She drops down into a hunter's crouch and stalks forward, quieter than the wind. She flicks her tail to order them to follow her. Dang it! Stop doing that! Your new to the Clan! You don't order others around! You're not a rogue anymore; you're not the cat you used to be.. She thinks to herself.

[♥S.C.O.U.T.♥]

Whitefire rolled her eyes. What a stupid 'warrior'! "Spit it out!" She complained, noting Shadowgaze's stuttering. She lashed her tail quickly then padded a little a head of Shadowgaze, pissed, you could say. She could hear the paw steps of the cats when a new one joined in followed by Nightpaw's voice. Great. Another cat to come.

The Warrior then flicked her tail, ordering them to stop. Who did she think she was? "By the way." Whitefire hissed. "You don't control us. Don't except us that means me to follow your orders." She growled. Suddenly, Shadowgaze crouched down to the ground, hearing a yowl. "Relax. It's probably just some stupid SoulCat fretting over how they broke a nail or something." She smirked at the though. "It's nothing."[/color]

Shadowgaze snorts at Whitefire, but keeps down. We're no where near the border.. She thinks, scenting the air; all she scents is cat blood and a whole lotta DeathClan scent, no SoulClan. She pads past Whitefire, still crouched down, not caring if the others follow or not. She stops to see two rather large cats standing over a small dead body of another cat.

"That'll take care of him.." One of the cats, a large white tom, mews.

"Yeah. Teach him to mess with us; or to threaten us for that matter..." The other one, a large brown and white patched she-cat, mews. "We'd better get off of this territory. It's just crawling with a funky scent and I can't wait to get it off of my paws and pelt; no one will blame us, only these stupid cats that call themself a Clan." She spat as she stalks off.

Shadowgaze turns and follows the two cats from a far distance, pausing in a shadow or by a bramble every few pawsteps to make sure that she isn't spotted; her brown pelt is perfect for disguising around the bracken. They can follow if they want. She thinks to herself. Or they can just sit there. Whatever they choose to do.

Whitefire rolled her eyes again. "You may be new, but I've been here since I was a kit. So don't act like you know everything stupid rouge." She snarled. "Go follow whoever the hell they are, just don't come crying to me or any of DeathClan cat when you're limping on one paw, the rest broken, your face smeared with blood, your neck half off, you tail snapped in half, and one eyeball missing." She bared her teeth and spun around on her paws. "And you do not control this Clan and me. If you dare ever to fucking try to control us like just now, you Will die under my claws. Stupid rouge.[/b]"

She turned away and stalked off, not caring what they thought. How dare she command them into whatever she wanted them to do! Whitwfire was one of the first DeathClan cats here, and Shadowgaze was the newest cat here, and she was going to get it! She was![/size][/color]

Shadowgaze growls. "I know I don't know everything. And I won't come crying to you when I find out what the hell they're up to. Do you want DeathClan being accused of a death that they didn't do? I don't. You can go back to camp or do whatever the hell you want. Sure, I was trying to control you, but I don't know how things in the Clan work. I've never been a part of one before. My bad; I made a mistake. Oh my gosh! Send me to StarClan! And don't you dare call me a stupid rogue. I've experienced more than you can imagine. I may be young, but I sure as hell ain't stupid." She snaps. She lashes her tail and pads after the other cats. Stupid rogue. Who the hell does she think she is!? She thinks to herself, her teeth bared and her claws unsheathed, ready to fight the cats when the time came; she would fight Whitefire right now, but she's part of the Clan and wasn't about to change that.

BLACKDEATH
So give me reason
To prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the thoughts cross
The distance in your eyes
Give me reason
To fill this hole
Ignite the space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth and lies
Across this new divide

Blackdeath padded along the SoulClan and DeathClan border. The wind was blowing his way, causing the red, white, and caramel tufts of fur on his pelt to pull against his lithe body.

The caramel tom crouched low for a moment, as if hunting prey but it was more like listening for intruders or any other DeathClan cats about. How stupid it would be, if he managed to sneak out of camp, only to be caught again. DeathClan cats were starting to really hit his damn nerves, and he was not liking it.

Cats like Silentfeather were so annoying, he just wanted to claw their faces out. Lifting himself back up with a grunt, Blackdeath pricked his ears and glared off into the distance. There was Whitefire, Shadowgaze, Nightpaw, and the shape of a smaller cat - a kit by the looks - trailing after them. Great

. He thought, Just my luck[/color].

Are we DeathClan cats really that stupid as to let a kit out? And what happens if a SoulClan cat came by? Sure, they wouldn't hurt a kit but still. Damn. Some of these cats had the brain of a beetle. I bet it was that new cat's idea[/color]. Blackdeath rolled his eyes. Shadowgaze. Ugh. He hated all new cats.

Just as Truthfur had been annoying before she left the Clan. DeathClan was letting in more and more rouges. Stupid rouges, by the look, if he was allowed to add. They needed to have Clanborn cats. Not these stupid good for nothing cats.

Half of the cats DeathClan collected, either froze in the middle of a battle from fright and/or panic, or fled. StarClan knew he hated new cats. So fucking annoying the new cats were.

During his silent ranting, Blackdeath glanced up and noticed two shapes slinking off into the distance, from the looks they were not of DeathClan either. The sharp, pageant scent of blood suddenly hit his nose and the tom nearly fell back from surprise. He lifted his nose to the air, his nose in the direction of blood.

It was not coming from DeathClan patrol. So he had a feeling they had nothing to do with the smell.

May I add again..great? He shook his head, heading towards the patrol. Now I have to deal with damn stray cats who think they can just come to my territory, whenever they please.

Before the big tom managed to meet up with the patrol, he saw Whitefire stalking off, hissing and spitting at Shadowgaze, ""And you do not control this Clan and me. If you dare ever to fucking try to control us like just now, you Will die under my claws. Stupid rouge[/i]."

Shadowgaze hissed back at her, "I know I don't know everything. And I won't come crying to you when I find out what the hell they're up to. Do you want DeathClan being accused of a death that they didn't do? I don't. You can go back to camp or do whatever the hell you want. Sure, I was trying to control you, but I don't know how things in the Clan work. I've never been a part of one before. My bad; I made a mistake. Oh my gosh! Send me to StarClan! And don't you dare call me a stupid rogue. I've experienced more than you can imagine. I may be young, but I sure as hell ain't stupid![/i]"

Both she-cats looked sure as fuck pissed off. Hm-mm. "If I may be of any assistance, Shadowgaze.."

Blackdeath mewed from the bushes, as he padded over to the she-cat. His green orbs glowed silver in the lighting, from the position in which they were standing. His mew sounded more like a grunt or growl, considering the ill-mood he was now in. He had come out of camp to be alone, and get away from stupid newbies, not to have to meet up with a couple annoying she-cats who were just about to claw each others' eyes out.

He could not risk Shadowgaze getting hurt. And she would, if it came to a fight with Whitefire. The newly named warrior had been fierce as an apprentice, and he had a feeling that Whitefire was even more fierce than she had been as an apprentice. Usually at the mention of someone or something she did not like, resulted in the cat who said it, being sent to the medicine cat den. If the Clan were to stay strong, Shadowgaze could not get hurt - no matter how annoying Blackdeath considered her to be, there may be a time when there was a battle and she would be needed. He did not like to admit it, but it was the truth. And after all, the truth will set me free.

He laughed out loud at his little joke, then stopped immediately. "Sorry[/b]." Blackdeath meowed - or more like grunted/growled out. He ignored Nightpaw and Metalkit completely, his attention on Whitefire and Shadowgaze. "Anyways,[/b]," he mewed, "I see you are new here, Shadowgaze..and I have to say, I would advise you leave the...experienced warriors alone. Such as..myself, Whitefire, Shattergaze, and the above..[/b]."

The caramel warrior turned his gaze away from the she-cat and to the sky, inside, he was trying to keep his tone light. There was no use in scaring the she-cat off, after all.

Continuing with his statement, "Whitefire may have just recieved her name, and gone from 'paw' or her name, she has a rather fierce attitude, and looses her temper easily. My best advise is to just stay out of our way..[/b]." he turned his gaze from the sky, to the she-cat again, his eyes intense and glaring. "I think you would find it clear, that your type of style belongs in the queens den. Not out with the big warriors, such as myself and Whitefire.[/b]" he meowed rather rudely.

Any cat who knew him could understand what he meant, his warning was clear enough. And if the she-cat was too damn stupid to understand it, let's just say, her time spent in DeathClan would not be the best time of her life - or more like the end of it.

[.:.S.:.t.:.o.:.r.:.m.:.]

Nightpaw had been following Shadowgaze, itching for a fight with the two cats who had killed on their territory. They were going to be as dead as their kill, for sure. She would make sure of that. But before they could even make it to the two cats, Whitefire and Shadowgaze had started fighting with eachother. Great, she thought, rolling her eyes. Oh well, I guess I have to stop them before someone gets hurt. Shadowgaze being that one, probably. What's she thinking messing with Whitefire like that? Most cats should know to just back off from a fight with her. But then, before Nightpaw could say anything, Blackdeath strolled in, looking extremely pissed at the two she-cat's quarrel. Not like I really blame him, their bickering is annoying me, too, she thought. "Yeah guys, just stop fighting, it's really getting on my nerves. And if you two are going to fight, here's a warning Shadowgaze; Whitefire can kick your ass." And if she does get hurt, she thought with a sigh. I'll have to take care of her. Great. It wasn't like Nightpaw didn't enjoy healing cats, but if they asked for it by messing with a more experienced warrior from their own Clan, it annoyed her because they created more work for nothing, and she had already hoped to have one day where someone wasn't hurt.

[d[-_-]b Midnight d[-_-]b]

Shadowgaze glares at the cats. "If you think I belong with the damn queens, then think it. I don't give a fuck what you have to say to me. You think you can tell me what to do and think you can tell me who I can and can't fight just because you've been here longer, then your mouse-brained. And I wasn't even an apprentice before. I was brought up coldly by Tigerstar, so don't think I don't know how to fight." She spat and stalked off. What's the point wasting my time with them. They're just a bunch of fat-ass cats just waiting to get killed. She thinks to herself, following the two cats. Now, to figure out what those damn cats are doing on DeathClan territory... She thinks, trying to distract herself with other thoughts.

She continues to slink along through the brambles, well away from the others bickering and sneering. Just because I'm the newest member doesn't mean I don't know who to mess with and who not to. I'm not that stupid; I know how to fight. She thinks to herself, getting carried away again. She digs her claws into the soft earth and stalks the cats, keeping well away from the borders.

"Hey.. Did you hear somethin?" The tom asks the she-cat.

"No, Firefox. Your probably just imaging things again, just like you used to imagine that you could beat Firestar. Gosh.. You believed for the longest time that you killed him when it was really all me." The she-cat spat rudely at the tom.

"I did beat Firestar, Goldenpelt, and it wasn't all you, if it weren't for me, you'd be dead." Firefox meows back.

Wow... Those cats bicker more than the damn Clan cats do... Shadowgaze thinks. She pads along and suddenly, the cats disappear down a large, dark whole that reeks of badger. What the heck are they doing down there, and how long have they been on our territory... She thinks, leaping silently up into a tree.
