.:Secret Camp:.

[.:Icey:.]

On the edge of Shadowclan territory, inside the pine forest is a small clearing, very few caves offer shelter but it is enough to hide away the queens, elders, kits and other clan members. This is the evacuation spot for Shadowclan. Secretly choosen, and hidden well. Through the towering pines, and the thorn bushes is a perfect secluded(sp) area for Shadowclan's escape from Hawkfaces attack.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

All Shadowclan cats are to remain here until the rescue patrol comes back. Shadestar, Foxfire, Silentshadow will be going on the patrol and Nightstalker is in charge. Please keep your cats from leaving and obey Nigthstalkers orders. Don't go to far. When the patrol..of if it returns you are to head to Thunderclan and take heed there. These are dark times and everyone is needed to co-operate and work together to get through this. Don't be scared be brave, we will get through this....

*NO ONE IS TO LEAVE NOBODY, IF YOU ARE LOYAL TO HAWKFACE DON'T POST YOUR CAT HERE*

[xXx.R.i.p.p.l.e.s.t.a.r.xXx]

Moonkiss walked beside Nightstalker, her white pelt blending with the deputy's black. She had a hunted look on her face and her unusual blue/green eyes held fear. It wasn't like her to fear, but she did, for all of their lives.

Flintfever looked at his clan, his claws unsheathed," Look what Hawkface is doing to us!" He growled," He made us go into hiding, in out own territory!" He snarled, his amber eyes blazing with anger and hatred.

Sunkit toppled along by the other kits. Her mother wasn't anywhere adn her brother, Firekit, had died a couple sunrises ago. She was alone. She sighed, her green eyes shining in the dark shadows. She ran up to Flintfever as he talked, shivering.

[.:Icey:.]

Redstreak was escorted blindedly through camp by Mudstream the sweet, fair and friendly senior warrior. Redstreak growled lowly, he didn't like to have to hmove around and this journey had tired him. he remembered being part of Shadowclan when Hawkface wasn't around. Now his clan was forced to leave their homeland and hide away. Till when?

Winterstorm sighd but he padded with a determined expression on his face. He was an older warrior, being wise and knowlegdable he realized being sad and despressed about the situation didn't help at all. He padded up to Nightstalker, bowing his head in a quick greeting he meowed "I can gaurd the camp..er clearing.. first if you like"

Mudstream padded up to Sunkit, a sweet smile on her face "hello little one" she meowed

Dovesong sat by herself looking out of clearing, through the trees, that seperated her and her mate. SIlentshadow was out there and his life was on the line. She prayed that he would return with her best friend and her brother.

[xXx.R.i.p.p.l.e.s.t.a.r.xXx]

Moonkiss licked Dovesong lightly," Silentshadow will be fine."
She purred her blue/green gaze burning with the truth, that
seemed to be what she truely believed.


Flintfever smiled at Redstreak," Hey Redstreak." He mewed.

Sunkit looked up at the senior warrior, surprise flooding from
her golden ginger pelt," Hi." She whispered. Her voice flooded
with pain and hurt.

[.:Icey:.]

Mudstream looked at Sunkit with worry, "you all right Sunkit, I know these are very dark times, and your just a kit. But you must have hope and faith. Believe Sunkit" she assured.

Dovesong thanked Moonkiss for her compassion "I know but I fear that they will go through somethign worse than death" she muttered.

Redstreak grunted, and turned to the young warrior. His blind eyes gazed up to his voice. He nodded his head in a quick greeting "how long do we have to stay here?" he meowed ending with a snort.

[Darkheart]

Nightstalker padded slowly through camp, surveying it with a wave of her thick black tail. She wasn't at all worried that Hawkface would find this place, because despite all his intelligence he probably couldn't. The worst case scenario would be that Shadestar and his little brigade failed and Hawkface forced them into telling where the camp was though it wasn't for sure that Hawkface would really care to ask. the black-furred she-cat snorted in discomfort, there were so many things that could go wrong with this plan it wasn't even funny.

Anxiety was gutting her and spilling out her entrails for all to see, she would tremble occasionally and her claws unconsciously slipped in and out of the slots in her toes. Whenever she stood still her paws would ache, trying to make her move. She had been pacing around camp for some time now, thoughts racing and mind frantic. What if Shadestar didn't come back alive?

She bit her lip, amber eyes scouring over the multicolored bodies of her clan-mates. She spotted Redstreak amongst them all and padded over to him, catching the last tid-bits of his question.
"Until Shadestar and his patrol return with Silentshadow. If at all..." The last part she had grumbled to herself. Dread had coiled around her round frame, bringing negative thoughts to mind.

[xXx.R.i.p.p.l.e.s.t.a.r.xXx]

Sunkit sighed and nodded.

Flintfever smiled at Nightstalker
as she came over.

Moonkiss nodded to Dovesong.
Her eyes shining and her purr
rising.

[.:Icey:.]

Dovesong sighed slightley, she continued to look ahead through the forest. Her blue eyes glazed with the look of fear and worry.

Redstreak nodded his head, his face showed now expression, and his blind white eyes just starred ahead nestled in his brown paws.

Winterstorm shrugged his shoulders. His wise yellow eyes made their way to Nightstalker and he squickly made his way over to the Shadowclan deputy. He soon seated himself beside her and cleared his throat. "Nightstalker...if SHadestar's patrol do not return what is the plan?"

[xXx.R.i.p.p.l.e.s.t.a.r.xXx]

Sunkit looked for her step-family.

Moonkiss settled down in the make-shift warriors den, falling asleep.

Flintfever settled beside Winterstorm and Nightstalker," Would you like me to keep watch too?"

[Darkheart]

Nightstalker flicked her tail, deciding she didn't like being the only one standing she took a seat, her pelt brushing Winterstorm's slightly.
"That would great Flintfever, thank you." She mewed, voice and eyes gentle as she addressed the young tom first then turned to Winterstorm with a sigh.
"If that indeed happens we will have to assume the worst, but we'll wait no longer than the span of a moon, if they do not return I will step up to become leader." She paused, unsure of what exactly to say next. What would they do if his patrol didn't return? Would they simply let Hawkface get away with it?

No.

Her expression suddenly feirce she opened her mouth and spoke,
"Then we'll stand together and fight Hakwface to avenge Shadestar" She mewed, eyes frosty as he stared at Winterstorm.

[.:Icey:.]

Winterstorm looked at Nightstalker, his face shown the pain and fear of what would happen to Shadowclan but he knew Nightstalker would be truthful and could find herself easily to be the future of Shadowclan. And Winterstorm with the last strength and several moons he had left he would fight with her.

"I will fight to avenge Shadestar if it comes, and I will fight along your side. But either way, with the several moons I have left I will fight for what is right for Shadowclan as well as the very future of the forest all the clans call home"

Mudstream's ear flicked and she took a step forward, her tabby coat shimmered in the moonlight "as will I"

[xXx.R.i.p.p.l.e.s.t.a.r.xXx]

Flintfever nodded," I will too." He took up his place.

Moonkiss noded," I will as well."

Sunkit bounced up," Me too!"
