Warrior Cats: The Four Clans

Cliffheart gave a half-hearted laugh at what Nightfang said, but something was obviously bothering her. "If there's something you want to say, you can say it. You're among friends here," he assured, bumping her hip with his. He felt like he'd be a lousy leader if he didn't let his warriors speak up for themselves or speak their minds. As rearing as he was to start a new clan, Cliffheart still had worries. What about a medicine cat? They didn't have one. Maybe one of his cats could be taught the ways of herbs by Featherheart, but he still had doubts. How on earth was he supposed to start a new clan from scratch? He stifled a sigh as he waited for Nightfang's response.

OOC: That's fine, so long as you didn't have him descend from Starclan and send you off on some impossible mission XD Someone's done that before and I had to tell them to knock it off X3

Nightfang tossed a look toward her new leader, a bit of apprehension swelling within her. After a moment she chose her words, "How exactly are we going to make a new clan? Honestly, we are all so young despite the experience we all have of working together. Darkwhisker is still back in Tigerclan's camp, in fact she might think we're all dead now. Plus, we don't know if she would join us seeing as her mentor Featherheart is so old. We won't have a medicine cat, there will only just be the five of us. How are we going to work as a unit? Not to mention that any kits born in this clan would probably just come from me and Bearfur, this is provided that you and Wolfheart don't become mates or mate outside the clan. We aren't even sure that any rogues or loners would join us. They might all be scared away by the reputation that we clan cats have. It just doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me to split Lionclan up, but I will go with you despite my doubts." Now that she had spoke, she saw a troubled look on Hornetstar's face. The tom obviously hadn't taken any of the this in to consideration. However, from across the camp the voice of the aged medicine cat sounded.
"I will take on a new apprentice," she rasped. Hornetstar looked surprised by the announcement, as well as the rest of the clan.
"Featherheart, you're old enough to be an elder. We don't know how long you will be with us. Is it wise for you to take a new apprentice?" Hornetstar questioned.
Featherheart's nose twitched with annoyance, "I'm not dead yet you kit. I'll be around for a while yet, plenty of time for a new apprentice."
Hornetstar looked doubtful, "We don't have any new kits that would be become apprentices." As if an answer to their question, the young apprentice who had been abducted by Tigerclan appeared at the entrance to the camp. He glanced over at them, having heard their conversation from above on the walls.
"I will do it. From what I have seen I know that hurting anyone is not my destiny. I will be the new medicine at of this clan."

Sablepaw had managed to work with Fluffy and Kirby to take back the small kit that the apprentices had stolen during the trials. The queens had been none-the-wiser since the small tom had managed to slip in and out undetected. The little kit didn't make a sound as the dark apprentice took him away. Outside, Kirby and Fluffy had been waiting for him. Once they saw Sablepaw the quickly rushed out of the camp, kit in tow. The three had made their way to the Horseplace where the kit had been stolen. Sablepaw looked within the barn to see a pair of glowing eyes stare straight back at him.
The she-cat, presumably the mother of the stolen kit, snarled and hissed, "Stay back!"
Sablepaw stepped forward tentatively and placed the kit on the floor so that he may speak. "Wait a moment," he said softly, "We aren't here to hurt you."
The she-cat spat again, "You'll not have another one of my kits!"
Sablepaw pointed his tail to the small bundle of fur he had brought with him, "Actually we are here to do the opposite. We came to right the wrong that has been done to you."
The mother she-cat looked down at the kit, her eyes growing round. The she-cat let out an exclamation as she launched herself at the kit, "Chip!"
Sablepaw backed away from the mother, "I'm so sorry. We didn't hurt him. Just keep him safe and we won't ever come around here again." Without another word and not a look back, Sablepaw left the barn. Fluffy and Kirby followed him out without a word. He padded a good ways from the barn and turned to the two rogues. "I guess this is goodbye..." he murmured. He turned his eyes back to the Lionclan side of the lake. He didn't know the way back to camp since he had only been out of the camp once. The day he had been made an apprentice was the day he had been captured.
Fluffy beside him mewed in his ear, "Do you know the way home?" Sablepaw shook his head softly.
Fluffy turned to look at Kirby. The tom sighed softly, "I guess we can take you to the other side of the lake, but we don't know the way to your camp. You'll have to find your way there."
Sablepaw grinned warmly at the older tom, "Thank you."
So the trio made their way across the lake territory. They took it slow just in case the battle still raged. Fluffy and Kirby weren't up to fighting well-trained warriors and Sablepaw hadn't been taught to fight. Along the way they talked a bit about what the two rogues planned on doing. They had told Sablepaw that they didn't know exactly. Being in Tigerclan had given them purpose, now without a clan they didn't know what to do.
Sablepaw turned to look at them as they walked, "Maybe you could join us in Lionclan. We're nothing like Tigerclan. You'll be respected."
The two cats looked skeptical but said nothing. As the approached the Lionclan camp they heard the discussions echoing through the forest. It sounded like Tigerclan had lost and that new clans were forming. He could hear Hornetstar's remarks on the newly forming Windclan and the absence of an apprentice for medicine cat. He knew what he had to do.
He entered the camp and spoke out that he should be the new medicine cat. After all he had seen he would never let a cat die under his watch. Kirby and Fluffy had followed him in to camp, though they didn't look like they wanted to be there. Sablepaw turned to them, wisdom beyond his years reflected in his eyes. "Instead of joining Lionclan... Thunderclan I mean, you may want to go with Cliffheart and the new Windclan cats. Its a fresh start." He turned back to the group of cats discussing the split of Lionclan, "That is if Cliffheart will allow it."

Ooc: I LOVE YOUR NEW SIG EBBS!!! THUNDERSTEP SO HANDSOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wolfheart blinked. Yes they had proven themselves by going through the TigerClan spying. Yes they had made it through this battle. They had survived. The clan had survived. They had the blessings of StarClan. Thus proves they could be as mighty as all of StarClan itself if they were together. They were like a clan. Powerful, mighty, strong, and brave. Corage. They had made it through with courage. "Courage." she spoke. "We got through with courage."
