Destinystar! (Lionpaw, Hollowecho's report)

[Rainy]

Hollowecho burst into camp, almost knocking Leafpad over.
"Sheesh, what's your hurry?" she hissed, rubbing her sore nose where he bumped her.
"Sorry," the pale tom mewed, giving her a hurried, apologetic glance, "But we need to tell Destinystar something. Lionpaw, come on!"
He passed by Shellkit, who was sitting in the middle of camp, a lonely look in her green eyes since her brother's passing. Swiftwater was nowhere to be seen. But there was no time. He paused outside his leader's den, "Destinystar! Are you in? We need to talk to you. Destinystar?"

[&&.Destinystar.x]

Destinystar padded into the camp, mottled brown fur sticking up all over the place, twigs caught in it. She'd gone into a slightly more woodland-like area, and found a few bits of prey. The TideClan leader was in such a state because she'd chased a squirrel right through a bush. Though her fur would take a while to wash, she held a squirrel and a vole triumphantly in her mouth. Hearing Hollowecho and Lionpaw calling her, she dropped the prey on the fresh-kill pile - so sparse since the poisoned fish, she thought sadly - and bounded over. "What's wrong, Hollowecho?" Destinystar asked, twisting her head to lick her shoulder.

[Rainy]

Hollowecho's fur bristled. Seeing Destinystar's ruffled fur, he assumed she had been in a fight. "Did you run into them, too? Of of their cats threatened us. He said the Junkard cats wanted a fight. If we don't leave the territory, they'll chase us out."

[&&.Destinystar.x]

"No, I chased a squirrel through a bush." Her eyes widened as he spoke of the intruders. "The Junkyard cats? Chase us out? Not in a thousand seasons." Her lip curled into a snarl. "We'll eat, and send a strong patrol to the Junkyard. Myself, you, Lionpaw, Leafpad, who else?"

[hawK]

Jetpaw came from the direction of the elders' den, paws reeking of mousebile. (Do we have elders? Anyway...) "I'll go," she volunteered, approaching. She looked from face to face, her dark eyes scanning the three cats in front of her. "Where are we going, exactly?" Lionpaw groaned. "It's just like you to jump into a place you don't know anything about. It's not safe for you," he snapped, amber eyes flashing. His dark-furred twin glared at him. "What do you mean, 'for you?' We've had the same amount of training. If it's not safe for me, then it's not safe for you either!" The golden tom flexed his claws, digging into the ground beneath him. "You weren't there. It's not safe," he insisted.

[&&.Destinystar.x]

“Stop it, you two!” Destinystar lashed her tail. “Stop being imcompetent mouse-brains! This is no time to be bickering like silly kits. You will both be coming.”

[hawK]

Jetpaw threw her brother a triumphant glance, while Lionpaw scowled at her. Nevertheless, they both fell silent in engrained obedience to their leader.

(I got on on my iPod!!)

[&&.Destinystar.x]

Destinystar glanced around the camp. "I don't think I should announce it just yet... the Clan might panick."

[hawK]

"But what if they come to the camp while we're not here? No one would know what was going on and someone could get hurt," Lionpaw frowned, his tone one of deep concern.

[&&.Destinystar.x]

Destinystar blinked. Lionpaw was a deep thinker already. "Good idea. I'll announce it in a moment. I'll tell my patrol first, though."

[hawK]

Lionpaw nodded and moved off to the side of the camp. Onyx had ruffled his fur, both figuratively and literally, and he could use a good grooming. He knew evil could come in all forms, but it rankled him down deep that an obviously malicious cat could look so...nice.

[Rainy]

"When are we going?" Hollowecho's fur bristled. Where they going to attack at once? "May I offer some advice, Destinystar? I don't know too much about these Junkyard cats, but they've been around as long as I can remember, steadily building up cats. For the most part they are just a bunch of stray cats trying to make a home together. At least... they were. After awhile a system developed with a leader and second-in-command. They became a short of Clan, but without the loyalty. Cats constantly fight among themselves there, it's part of everyday life. If one dies there are plenty more to fill his spot. With so many cats prey is probably scarce... not that I'm saying we should share ours. It's just... can we use their lack of loyalty to our advantage? If we could trigger an uprising some how... Not all cats are as fierce and bloodthirsty. Problem is, you can't tell who to trust..." his voice trailed off. He had thought he had been getting somewhere, but really he has just babbled on for the past five minutes. "Forget it. They agreed to talk, our leader with theirs. I think we should try and solve this peacefully, but take enough cats, just in case they decide to attack."

(what about your ipod?)

[hawK]

( I got on the internet on it. I posted that post from it. )

[&&.Destinystar.x]

( I lol'd at that last part in your post, Hawk, "how a malicious cat could look so... nice". xD
It's good to see you back, Rainy! You weren't on for a week; I missed you. D: )

The mottled brown she-cat paused her grooming to look up at Hollowecho. "No, that's good information," she purred. "I don't know if any of the cats from the lake have told you the story of Firestar and Scourge.... Scourge lost basically because he didn't believe in StarClan. Perhaps if we could convince them their leader is tricking them, they'll panic and disband." She frowned. "Hopefully it won't come to a fight, but I expect it will."

(im sorry. things are a bit hectic lately. Im here now!)

Hollowecho bowed his head in agreement, but he was pleased he had said something slightly useful. He wanted to help in whatever way he could. He HAD to stay in TideClan, he just had to. Wait with Lightningstrike AND Lunarclaw's dissappearance... he felt lonier than ever, his two best friends were gone. All he had left was his apprentice, Lionpaw. (I am just saying they dissappearing since A. Crazy is gone and B. haven't seen Lunar in a long time. maybe bijou and hollowecho? lol we'll see.)
