[firestorm]

Grayshadow flicked his tail as he watched Dreamstar call the meetng. His gaze flicked over to Bubblepaw. He was happy for her. She would finally become a warrior. He stayed back into the shadows, he know no one wanted to talk to him.

[the day the world went away]

e t e r n a lfault

Four petite paws made their synchronized, inaudible impact on the ground as the limbs they were attached to lifted themselves gracefully to pick the easiest path back to the Thunderclan camp, stepping swiftly through the lush foliage; smooth, dark coppery-gold fur stood out from the deep green plants, the pelt glimmering radiantly, alluringly when the slim figure dashed through shafts of dark gold sunlight, reflected from the dying sunset. But Eternalfault didn't feel the fading warmth on his leanly muscled back, he didn't feel the soft undergrowth grazing against his limbs as they plowed carelessly over the green plants, he didn't feel the slightly cool breeze brushing against his dark-crowned ears. He wasn't paying attention, just mindlessly making the run through the territory from his favorite place to the camp.

Soon, soon.. the trees seemed to whisper to him, his ears pricking at the voices: he was close to the camp. The last few bounds through the protective foliage and he was there, barely panting from the swift sprint. His keen night vision picked out a dark shape in the even darker shadows, only able to tell that it was a cat from the scent and from the heat that radiated from it's being. His being, that is. Eternal never paid much attention to his clanmates, but this tom stood out -- he was moody and pessimistic, always glaring up at cats of higher rank as if he envied them, as if he wanted to overthrow them..Eternal admired the inky tom for that. So he made his decision and padded soundlessly up to the tom, lowering his lithe body to rest on the ground, small paws resting, closely together, in front of him. His long tail twitched back and forth, then ceased movement. "Quite strange, isn't it?" he murmured quietly, soft amber eyes looking troubled. "How Dreamstar is bearing kits and all..I wonder who the father is?" His molten gold orbs wandered over to Hailstorm's figure, and he tilted his head slightly. Well, he doesn't look like he's proud at all about Dreamstar's swollen belly..That could mean that he was either ashamed for it or he WASN'T the father..But that was absurd. Unnecessary thinking. Besides, this isn't even my business. Eternalfault blinked up at the leader, expectantly waiting.

To whom it may concern..
I'm still the same.

[,hateh?]

The black tom's fur bristled slightly, but he let a gruff laugh that sounded more like a growl rumble up from his chest. His scarred auds moved faintly, then flattened against the back of his skull. He put his big black paw next to Eternal's small one, narrowed eyes sizing the tom up. Shadeheart glanced back up to Dreamstar, orbs gliding smoothly over her shadowed fur before laying down. His tail flicked lazily as he sighed.
Strange, yes..
His eyes flicked up to Dreamstar again, then back to Eternalfault.
I wouldn't know who the father is even if someone came and told me. I don't get out much.
He sniffed, laying his black head on his massive paws.
Do you supposed that's what she's called us for? Maybe she'll tell us..
His eyes darted around the encampent again, resting on each cat for no more than a few seconds.

[dream.]

The clearing seemed to swim before her eyes dangerously . Dreamstar blinked , determined to bring her unfocused mind back to place . Ominous whispers seemed to pass through the cats below , and most eyes were upon her . She waited quietly , until a hush had fallen over the felines of ThunderClan . Dreamstar let a few moments of silence drag on as her eyes came to rest on Bubblepaw , before opening her mouth to speak .
"I , Dreamstar , leader of ThunderClan , call upon my warrior ancestors to look down upon this apprentice . She has trained hard in the ways of your noble code , and I commend her to you as a warrior in her turn ." Her voice was filled with forced determination as she spoke . Half leaping , half sliding cautiously down from the highledge , Dreamstar spoke once more , "Please come forward , Bubblepaw ."

[wolfie]

Wolftail walked out of the warrior's den as fast as he could. The meeting started without him. He sat down at the back of the group of cats and listened. Bubblepaw, that's what's this meetings about. He wrapped his tail around him and wathced the apprentice.
