Darkstar wandered around camp idly. He was looking for Bloodkit, but the should-be apprentice was not anywhere close by. The black leader considered calling, but he would not risk his self-respect.
Darkstar turned around. Where were all his warriors today? He raised his muzzle and sniffed. The scents whirled around him, all his warriors' scents. There was the scent of different cats all around... but not walked-by-a-few-moments-ago fresh scents of any of his warriors.
Sighing, the tom turned about. He was mildly distracted. Forbidden love? Losing loyalty? What was wrong with this Clan? Darkstar could sense misgivings in the air. What was he doing wrong? And what happened to the glory days when ShadowClan was feared and respected.
Might as well throw us out of the forest, snorted the leader. As if... He glanced at StarClan. Not much they were doing for them now, he considered. But that was all right. ShadowClan didn't need help... they were fine enough fending for there own.
And the question weighed down on Darkstar again. Where in StarClan were his warriors? And Bloodkit, for that matter?

Can any off my cats join in? or is this a 'hint, hint' moment? If not I will delete this post! <3]]
GhostfirePadded softly into the clearing, a mouse firmly in his paws.
Over the past few moons, his confedence had been growing, and his scitishness was decreesing. He had decided to let go of the past and look into the futur, not forgetting what happened to his brother.
He padded over to the kill pile, 'Not so fresh, ' Ghostfire thought. 'They all must be out hunting.... at, the same time..' Then he glanced at Darkstar, padding around camp. His pelt brissled He could tell he was looking for someone, so he sat And began to groom [[h-------09 Sorry, my cat rubbed against my hand!]] His paw.

Bloodkit watched her 'leader' in from the shadows of the nusury. The dark brown she-kit twiched her tail back and foreth. Her blue eyes blinked softly as she saw Ghostfire enter the camp. She was board and wanted to play with anybody, even the quiet warrior
Foxpaw padded into the camp, softly resting his paws on the loose soil. "Darkstar," he said, spotting Bloodkit in the shadows of the nursury, "is there anything that you want me to do." He wasn't in a hurry to become a warrior, he knew everything took time, and patiance, but he wanted to be leader so bad. Noticing Ghostfire, the ginger tom dipped his head to the warrior "Hello Ghostfire" he meowed to the older tom.

Oakpaw sat at the far end of camp, lisoning to the footsteps and heart beats of few cats. his eyes lay shut and his face solem, as if the shadow of the moon. His ears twiched at the flatness of Foxpaw's voice.

Bloodkit noticed Oakpaw in the corner of the camp. Quickly, she snuck behind the nurseury, hoping nobody saw her, and padded up to the apprentice. "Hi Oakpaw," she squeaked quietly.

A lofty ginger she-cat lifted her head and blinking her green eyes open. Foxflower yawned and stoood up stretching and shaking her fire colored pelt. She licked her paw and swayed her tail from side to side. Foxflower's stomach had swelled and it was mkaing her more tired then ever. She let her ears fall back, she missed Liontail. She shook her head and looked around the nursery. Bloodkit wasn't there...Bloodkit wasn't her kit but Foxflower was always watching her, keeping a distance though she wanted to treat her like her very own daughter. The she-cat walked out of the nursery and into the camp. Her head was held high as her narrowed green eyes scanned the camp.
Graypaw bounced around, being her hyber self. She came to a stop seeing the ShadowClan queen. She smiled then looked around. She saw her brother Foxpaw and ran over coming to a skid. "Hey." She meowed and twitched her fluffy gray tail happily.

"Oh, there you all are," muttered Darkstar crossly as some of his warriors and apprentices appeared. "Hello, Ghostfire, Foxpaw. Hello, Foxflower, Graypaw."
The dark leader looked about. "Ghostfire, do you know where any of our other warriors and Bloodkit are? The camp seems rather empty."
Eventually, the ShadowClan leader looked again at Firepaw. He frowned. "You know, it's about time you were made warriors. Foxpaw, do you know where your siblings are? For that matter, do you know where anyone else is?" He turned around. "If you do find your siblings and your mentors, have them give you a final, small training session, will you?"
"Graypaw, Foxflower?" continued Darkstar. "Do you know where Bloodkit is?" The leader lifted his nose and sniffed again... and two cats scents turned him around. The dark leader found himself looking at the cat he was looking for as well as Oakpaw... he felt sheepish now. Way to make a fool of yourself in front of your warriors! he thought. Good StarClan, I'm distracted today.
"Thanks," growled Darkstar to the cats who hadn't helped him. "Ghostfire, take an apprentice or someone and watch the entrance a little, will you? Also, send someone to find Shadowfoot." He muttered something about not running a Clan without a deputy and then walked over a little to the apprentice and kit.
"Bloodkit?" he called. "Will you come patrolling with me for a bit?" It was essential, though Darkstar, that Bloodkit tell him as much about WindClan as possible... as well as maybe a few other things.

Oakpaw opened his eyes, not turning for Bloodkit, but softly emplyed, "Greeting Bloodkit. How are you?" he stared blankly over at darkstar, wondering why he needed to see Bloodkit.
Ghostfire held his breath for a moment, then replyed slowly, being careful not to employ anything rude. "Yes... I regure it does seem rather empty... Well I usumed, that they might have gone out on patroll or something." Ghostfire closed his eyes, opening them back up slowly. He relized that what he said sounded kittish, hopeing Darkstar didn't catch it.

Graypaw looked at Darkstar as she was about to tell him that she had last seen Bloodkit in the nuresy but he found her before she said anything. Her ears feel back as he muttered they were no help. Graypaw looked up at Darkstar with great admeration but then pushed it away. She padded over to Ghostfire and looked at him with light blue eyes. "I'll go help you gaurd!" The apprentice meowed happily.
Foxflower lifted her head and ignored what Darkstar said. She wondered why he would need to talk to Bloodkit but pushed it aside and walked away tail high. She went to the not so fresh kill pile and picked up the mouse Ghostfire had caught. It was still warm and she purred. "Nice catch Ghostfire, I thank you, I've been starving."Foxflower meowed and lied on her side her stomach making a round half circle. She ate loftly and licked her maw. Her litter of kits would soon be joining the ranks of ShadowClan.

Foxpaw looked at his leader, than at little Bloodkit. She shouldn't be out of the camp. the ginger tom thought
Bloodkit looked at her leader, her nerves slowly building up. She slowly set one shaking paw in front of the other, slowly walking away from Oakpaw.
Firepoppy padded into camp, a thin mouse dangling from her jaws. Seeing Foxpaw, she padded up to him. "Foxpaw, have you seen Tumblepaw?" she asked.
The ginger apprentice shook his head as he heard the ShadowClan warrior, all everything nowadays was about his siblings.

Tumblepaw blearily poked his head out of the apprentice's den. "Oh, is it morning already?" he yawned, giving himself a stretch and blinking a few times.
Darkstar turned away from Bloodkit for a moment towards the yellow apprentice. "It's sunhigh," he growled. "Were you sleeping all day? ShadowClan can't afford warriors that can't keep their duties up." His voice was menacing, and Tumblepaw blanched away from him.
"Firepoppy," acknowledged Darkstar to the warrior who just walked in. "Been hunting? Good. I was just about to let Bloodkit see a little bit outside of the camp. Remind Shadowfoot that he's still the deputy and should put some fire into his duties if you see him." He nodded to Ghostfire and Graypaw, and, beckoning to Bloodkit with his tail, walked out of the camp.
Tumblepaw was trying to hide behind a piece of twig sticking out of the side of the apprentice's den. His ears were flat, and on his face was a very sheepish look. The little apprentice began to slowly sidle his way towards Oakpaw, keeping his gaze carefully on Firepoppy.

Firepoppy looked at her apprentice. "Tumblepaw," she meowed, "We are going to go train before we go on patrol."
Bloodkit followed Darkstar. The she-kit padded around Firepoppy, and after Darkstar.

(Eeek first post with Ashpelt since I adoppted him *cuddles the gray tom who hisses*)
Ashpelt walked through the camp entrance, with nothing in his mouth. Not a single scent of pray on him but he gave no notice or care if he was going to be yelled at. He had been out patroling. The gray tom swished her fluffed out tail and made his way past Ghostfire and Graypaw, notcied Darkstar pass and then his green gaze caught Firepoppy. He skirted around the other cats and made his way over. "Hello Firepoppy." He spoke in a deep tone he nodded his head and gave a slight smile. He looked at Tumblepaw and smiled at the yellow apprenitce, "Sounds like you're going to have fun."

Oakpaw purred, "No need. she is going anyway." His voice was smooth and lulling. This was the happyiest he was in moons. He was going to be a warrior soon. What a great start to a morning, there was not a thing that could drag it down.
Ghostfire nodded, he glanced at the camp stirring to life. 'Where is Iceclaw or Swiftshadow?' He wondered. They had been his on;y two best friends. Iceclaw, slowly drifting away... and Swiftshadow, StarClan only knows where that cat is now a days. He began to prune his claws.

As Ashpelt smiled at the yellow apprentice, Tumblepaw perked up and trotted over to Firepoppy. "Where are we going?" he chattered excitedly. "Are we going to go hunting? Wouldn't it be odd if a WindClan cat or a RiverClan cat or a ThunderClan cat was found on our territory? We could chase them off and be heroes! Or maybe we could even fill up the fresh-kill pile by ourselves! What do you think? Can we go now?" The apprentice, although he was ready to become a warrior, still seemed unrestrained and bouncy as a kit.
