OOC: I was planning on having Ebony become leader soon since he is the deputy... but we can get some advice from the others about that =D
Ebonycloud's eyes hardened, "Rogues? Thats just what we need." he growled, "Should we go to the other clans for help? Windclan is to weak to fight on its own..." He lowered his eyes deep in thought. With all this commotion going on he hadnt been able to get to the moonstones to recive his leader lives. He had to do that soon, very soon. He glanced up and mewed, "Did they give a deadline of when they are going to attack?"
OOC: Sure, maybe I can be deputy? It makes sense for you to be leader, since Ebony's deputy now.
Silverstep narrowed her eyes. "I really don't know. If we go to the other clans for help, they'll see us as weak. And they might not help us-instead, they could just wait for the rouges to wipe us out, then chase them off to claim our territory!" She mewed fearfully, then shook her head. "You're going to become leader, so you make the decisions. Whatever you think is right for the clan." She gave a crooked half-smile. "With leaf-bare coming and less warriors then ever, anything could happen," she mewed wryly. "If nothing else, we have to depend on our warrior ancestors to show us the way..." she trailed off and sighed, turning her head to hide the tears of frustration welling in her eyes, hoping the two toms wouldn't notice.
Ebonycloud's eyes darkened. It was his descion. He was the deputy and the current leader at the moment. "If we dont go for help, things will be bad, if we do go for help it might be even worse. Still we have to try." He lowered his eyes to the ground, "For now all we can do is go on patrol to see if there are any rogues on our territory." HE turned to the camp, "Lilypaw!" he called for his apprentice.
Falcondance watched Silverstep with no expression. There was a hint of fear in the way she stood but he didnt say anything out loud. Instead he edged a little closer and lightly brushed his tail along her flank trying to comfort her. His mouth set in to his angelic smile.
Tabbystripe looked around wildly. She didn't know what to do! Rogues? Rogues weren't friends here, or nice visitors to a kittypet, they were enemies, especially if they planned to attack. "What do I do?" Tabbystripe asked Ebonycloud.
OOC: thats a good idea, ebony becomes leader, silverstep gets a prophecy and her and tabbystripe find it means silverstep should be deputy, and then tabby becomes medicine cat. Fireheart is probably coming back soon (i spoke to her) and if someone ever quits, or is inactive and decides to drop out, then she might be able to join and last rp Fireheart played fireleaf and tabbystripe was dead so they couldnt be together but in this rp it could be that tabby is a med cat and cant be with fireleaf, or if theres never a spot open when Fireheart comes back its still a great idea to keep the rp going and fill all the positions of med. cat, deputy and leader.
OOC: Well, we have quite a few inactive people here.... when Fireheart comes back, and if she wants to join in i will see what i can do =D
Ebonycloud shook his head softly, "Just do what you were born to do Tabbystripe. Let Starclan guide your paws." He turned from his friend and stalked toward the leader's den. HE looking inside carefully. This might be his den someday.
Tabbystripe looked around. She sighed. Some rogues were once in WindClan. They had visited her and talked to er as a kittypet. Telling her plan would be betraying them, but their plan was betraying WindClan. She padded up behind Ebonycloud.
"Ebonycloud.." Tabbystripe whispered. "They're going to attack, they think WindClan's too small. THe only way to prove them wrong is for almost every fit cat to mark the borders more often, to convince the rogues." She looked down at her paws. "I should've told you right away, as soon as I got here, I'm sorry," she murmured.
Ebonycloud turned a sharp eye to her but said nothing. He turned away and yowled for the small amount of Windclan cats to come and gather around. They needed to prove their strength and as it was, there was a lot to prove.
Falcondnace heard the call and flciked Silverstep with his tail, "Come on, he is calling, " He purred softly.
Tabbystripe hurried to crowd with the rest of WindClan. Her paws pricked with the familiar urge to protect her Clan. She would die to the rogues for them, she knew it.
IC; Wolf turned around, hearing a noise. he dropped te mouse he was carrying, and pricked his ears, searching the tall grass for whatever had made the noise. He hissed as several cats leaped out, landing skilfully in his clearing. "Rogues," he growled at the nearest one. "What do you want?" "Shut it, you poor excuse for a cat," one hissed at him. "You have prey, and we're here to collect it; and if you try to stop us, you're gonna die." Wolf narrowed his eyes. "So you think," he said quietly. "I'm not going down without a fight, you know." "So be it," another rogue hissed. Wolf stood his ground as they began to approach him.
Silverstep nodded and padded towards the crowd, her fur brushing Falcondance's. His smile had made her feel better, almost completely comfortable around him. She stopped to sit beside him as they waited for Ebonycloud to speak.
Lilypaw rushed out of the elder's den, almost tripping head over paws. She landed with a plop beside Silkpaw and raised her head to her deputy, feeling hot in embarrassment.
OOC: Sure! I know, I'll go with Ebonycloud while he gets his nine lives, and I'll get the prophecy during the ceremony.
