Viverpaw followed, thinking it over. This meant more mouths to feed...but she suspected only a few of Beast Pack wanted to join. Fang and Laluche didn't seem so interested. They looked nervouse, so she stayed close to them. Hazelclaw kept his gaurd up, walking alongside Tatterwind. Fang looked back, his eyes narrowing. Laluche held fear in her eyes. Just because they had power, didn't mean that they couldn't be beaten.
Treepaw was dazed. How could the clan take care of so many more cats? He looked at Viverpaw. "What are we gonna do now?" he asked, tail waving with fear. "I'm not sure if we can take in these cats," he said, voice wavering.
Tatterwind looked at Treepaw. He was thinking the same thing. He sighed deeply and walked faster, looking back occasionally at the loners. He wouldn't have accepted these cats if he were leader. Too much to worry about. Goldenstar already had too much to worry about!

Viverpaw nodded. "Yeah...but it seems like only a few wish to join." she said. Fang and Laluche back tracked a bit. "You know..I'm not so keen to, and Laluche has the same thoughts...but Sharp and Carvern seem a bit more eager than us. I think I'll talk to Carvern. If they are going to join, I and Laluche want to be a little more free...you know." he said.
Treepaw looked at the other apprentice. "What are you talking about, 'we'?" He stared back at the loners, then to Viverpaw. What was going on? He bounded forward, then stopped and looked back at Tatterwind, who looked as confused as he was. He went back up to Viverpaw. "Sorry, that was random. Go on," he pleaded. Scenarios raced through his head. Was Viverpaw staying here with Laluche?

Viverpaw gave him a bit off a distant look. "I definatly wouldn't leave Waterclan. But....I kinda am going to miss being around Beast pack. Laluche and Fand don't look so keen to follow a code they don't really know, although Sharp and Carvern seem to be willing to follow and earn their keep." she said, trailing off. She looked down at her paws in frustration. "I don't understand why, but...ever since I spent that one day with Beast Pack, I feel like I've already known them..." she explained. Fang and Laluche looked at her uncertainly. "Say-do you know anything about your family members? We did one time have these two cats that were with us for a while, but then they left back to wherever they came from and vanished." Fang asked, eyes narrowing. "No, not really. I didn't know my mother when I was a kit, and I don't know what happened to her. Or my dad for that matter. But I doubt they would have known you guys, unless you've traveled here before." she answered. "Well...sort of." Said Fang in a strangly off put voice. "We did happen to here one of Carvern's stories about coming here, and one time we came. But it was for a short while."
Copperpaw couldnt help overhearing the rogues talk to Viverpaw. Wondering who her parents were for a moment he didn't remember much. He was a few moons older then the she-cat but he didn't remember seeing her parents around. Shaking his head he saw the camp and ran strait ahead. "Were here!" He shouted and to the cats behind him and enetred the camp.
Viverpaw let out a sigh. Goldenstar would probably accept two, or maybe the third one that wanted to come. She knew very well that the others of Beast Pack, even if they had wanted to join, they wouldn't have been able to. Fang and Laluche sat down next to her as Hazelclaw went up to Goldenstar's den. "Goldenstar? May we speak with you?" he asked. Viverpaw felt a nervouse twitch through the neck hairs on her.
Copperpaw sat next to the rogues and felt his pelt prickle. his clan-mates were starting to come out of their dens and watching them. Looking at the ground he sighed and hoped Goldenstar would come out soon. Looking back up he felt a soft breeze flow through his fur, and a voice whisper in his ear. Copperpaw......Copperpaw...Follow me.... Copperpaw turned and saw no one there. Looking at the rogues he knew it wasnt them because they were busy talking to eachother quitley and looking around camp. Copperpaw's pelt tingled as another small gust of wind drew him toward the forest. Getting up he walked to the camp entrance and looked back at Viverpaw wondering if he should tell her. Opening his mouth to call her another gust of wind hit his face making him lean toward the forest again. "Alright...im going..." he murmered and walked in the direction the wind was blowing him. "i hope Im not just crazy and Im hearing things now..." he murmered and kept walking.
Viverpaw, being at the back of the group, noticed Copperpaw walking off. She followed behind him, Haelclaw and the others unoticing. What was he up to? She stalked behind him. If he turned around, she could leap into a bush or say the truth. She decided the truth. She didn't like lying to her friends.
Copperpaw followed the direction of the wind each time it changed and kept his ears up for any more voices. Feeling it tug on his fur even harder he began to race across the territory, making sure he didn't lose it. Jumping over a bush he made it into a small clearing in the territory. "Here..." the voice spoke to him as the wind died down. Panting Copperpaw looked around and only saw a grassy clearing separated from the trees with a small stream running through it. "What's here?" he mewed trying to think of an answer. "The stream? The clearing? What's here, or what will be here?" He questioned but nothing answered him and the breeze had mysteriously vanished. Looking back the tabby apprentice caught the scent of Viverpaw not far. "viverpaw?"
