The earth will crumble *open, hurry!

Forestfur raised his head. "We cannot take chances when it comes to the safety of our Clan. It would be better for both of us if you hunted in the rogue lands, over that way. If you want shelter, try the High Hills." He secretly was worried about setting these cats on his sister, but the High Hills Band were capable fighters, hunters, and healers. He flicked his tail, remembering Kita's words to him. But still... it wasn't his choice to make.

[Rosefeather]

Kita frowned. "How can you expect us to trust outsiders." It was a statement, filled with honesty. Kita, Cami, Redfur, Twist, and Stone never trusted anyone, until they met Frostfall. She promised them a place in her Clan once the Tribe was destroyed. Kita sat down, flicking her tail. "Would you rather have us, 16 skilled trackers, go to another Clan and seek shelter? With the coming battles, you'll need every pair of claws you can get, no?" Her coppery eyes glared at Forestfur, removing every trace of the happy kit-like she-cat they had known only moments before. Hiding in her deathly aura, the others nodded, scared of Kita. Only Claw was unaffected, sitting there content to let Kita play her games.

[lakeripple]

Forestfur's eyes glared. Their ice blue sheen stared at Kita like sharp shards. "Do you think it is my decision if you stay or not? No! Do you see Treestar about? No! I think that you should leave and come back when he does!"

[Rosefeather]

[color=Orange]"Where is your honor?!? Kicking a group out just becuase your leader isn't about?!? All we ask for is premission to stay. We promise to not disturb your Clan. Just one moon of peace is all we ask for. If troubles come, we'll help!" Kita's eyes returned glares with Forestfur. [/color]

Claw yawned, unmoved by her words.

ooc: Does Forestfur have a mate?

[lakeripple]

OOC: He did, but I haven't seen her for half a year...

Forestfur growled. "I can't do anything to help you! Treestar is busy now, you need to either wait or leave. I can say nothing else."

[Rosefeather]

Kita grinned, losing her glare and evil aura. "We'll wait."

Claw flicked his tail back and forth, telling the other cats to follow Kita's lead.

[wolfwarrior4jesus]

Windgale shook her head. "Suit yourself." They might find themselves waiting for a loooong time, she thought...

[~*Pikeru]

OOC: Good luck Kita! Treestar has had the grumpy stick up his butt ever sense Flashpaw was taken, and Fireclan attacked their camp. @_@"



IC: Treestar stepped silently out of the underbrush. Two escorts flanking him farther forward. Their claws and teeth bared in defense of the leader. With an annoyed hiss, they stopped. The Earthclan leader hated when they did this. Insisting on following the leader around ever sense his condition had begun to slowly decline once more. Treestar had yet to recover from the unknown illness.

"My answer is simple; No." Slowly the long haired tom sat before the cats. Long, feathery tail curling around his snow covered paws. The ice was thick today. "I do not care how many there are of you, nor how skilled you all are. What I need is trusted warriors, and that is what I have." Treestar's amber eyes rested commandingly on Kita, despite his sutler posture.

This tom of silent steps and few words was different for now. His open mind closed to this idea. Ever sense his trust in Burningstar had been broken and thrown in his face.

[Rosefeather]

Kita took a step toward Treestar, not caring of his status. "Our hatred toward FireClan makes us the most loyal warriors of all. We've all been hurt by them, is that not enough to band us together? We were 30 strong, then FireClan lashed out, taking my brother and everyone else, leaving only us, 17. I beg of you, let us join your Clan, and take revenge on the evils of FireClan." Kita dipped her head low.

[~*Pikeru]

"You were not born to Earthclan. Your warriors do not have the same things to loose as we do." the tom's tail twitched as Kita stepped closer. "I'm sorry for your loss, though." By now, Treestar was somewhat testing the she-cat in a way only he understood.

[Rosefeather]

Irritated, Kita's coppery glare returned. "We do not have the same to lose as your warriors do?!? What is that supposed to mean?!? If you mean honor, from what I've seen from your warriors, it's dead." Now snarling, Kita's fang glistened, "Sorry for my lose? If you were actually sorry, you'd help us."

[~*Pikeru]

Treestar gave a small, and breif smile. It vanished as he began to speak again. Rising to his paws at sharing Kita's glares. "The last time I trusted someone, it was Burningstar. You see where that has gotten me!?" the light brown tabby snapped back. The two guards behind him wincing slightly at their leader's change of personality. Normally the tom would be welcoming and silent. An outburst like this wasn't common. Treestar bore his fangs slightly. Only enough to show his frustration at the situation and these memories.



OOC: are my posts getting shorter? D=

[Rosefeather]

Kita snorted, some sick, old crabby leader would never compare to her mood-swings, "You're going to get hurt if you trust someone. There's no way around that. But isn't it true that it only happens a few times? Wouldn't you rather have trusted and gained friends," she motioned to her group, "than pushed us away, only to regret it later? Help us help you." Her gaze softened, and she sat down, curling her ragged tail around her.

[~*Pikeru]

Treestar paused, silent for a long while. A crow letting out a noise to break it. The two Earthclan warriors shiften uncomfortably at the long silence. Their eyes flicking from eachother, to their leader, and back.

"Very well." the leader finally meowed. Fangs vanishing once more. Treestar sat silently, though kept his amber eyes intent on Kita and the others. "You can get a chance. You all will. But do not test me. My loyalty is thin." He purred the final words while turning, flicking his tail for his warriors and the cats to follow at the last sentance.




OOC: Yay they are in! ^^ ....or....boo they are in? D=

[Rosefeather]

Kita grinned, her true kit-like nature showing. "Thank you sir, you will not regret it!" Kita turned to her group, hissing softly. "Ruin the chance I've given you, and you're all dead." The others nodded, scared of the she-cat.
Claw nodded, feeling uneasy at the venom in the she-cat's words.

[wolfwarrior4jesus]

So Treestar decided to let them in, Windgale mused as she turned to follow her leader back to camp. Still, she'd made up her mind that she'd keep a close eye on them. EarthClan had suffered enough, and if these miserable cats put one paw out of line? Well, they'd regret ever coming to Earthclan. Windgale bared her fangs briefly in annoyance. It was not hers to reason why, merely to follow.. She trotted after Treestar...

[~*Pikeru]

OOC: Can possibly start a thread in the camp now. All agreed? Unless there something else anyone needs to do here?

[wolfwarrior4jesus]

(sounds good to me!)
