Leader's Den

[.:Rippledstream:.]

Silentshadow smiled at Shadestar encouragingly, her tail tip brushing gently back and forth along his flank, hoping this would calm him down. She turned to Rip, her ears flicked suddenly as she came up with an idea. "If you would like, " she began "We could let everyone know at the gathering that we killed you. That way Hawkface won't go looking for you and you will be able to live a peaceful life somewhere far enough away that you're comfortable with it" she proposed, wondering what the three others would think of her suggestion. "If Shadestar is in agreement of course" she mewed, dipping her head with affectionate respect for the leader.

Silentshadow nodded, Silentshadow had a good idea....

[.:Icey:.]

Shadestar took a deep breath and exhauled. He looked at the beautiful she-cat and passed her a thankful glance. The idea drifted in his head and a small grin spread across his face. He looked back down at Rip the grin somewhat still on his face yet his eyes burned deeply in the mattered rogue. "I agree with that and I will make sure that the message is spread across to all the clans"

[Hawkface]

Rip just smiled while shaking her head."It won't work, this Hawkface cat or how you say my leader has ties everywhere and I mean everywhere. he might even have someone in this Clan watching you waiting, what about these two Silentshadows, one of them could be a fraud and lay in wait to kill you when you least expect it. that's my world and always has been I can never truly run away from my problems but only to face them and die trying. Or maybe hide and stay safe but he'll look for my even if he has to kill anyone and anything in his way. But your probably wondering what I was muttering about Icestar? The truth is before you can even reach her let alone get there in time she'll be dead and this Hawkface will be leader of WindClan and the age of fear with truly begin..." Frowning as she explained the cats devious plot in the Clans but that was only part of it the worst was yet to come.

[.:Icey:.]

Shadestar felt his teeth grind in frustration, his paws moved uneasily on the dirt floor amd his yellow eyes continued to glare at Rip. "How dare you tell me who to trust and where my loyalty lies with my warriors" he spat. Shadestar turned his head away and began to pace back and fourth letting his mind wander in the situation. He could take a patrol to Windclan and discuss the matter with Icestar, giving her a warning about Hawkface. But there wasn't enough time, he had to yet appoint a deputy and he had to deal with this flea bag.

Turning his head back to the small group his eyes narrowed, "we will pay a visit to WIndclan about this matter, Rip will stay here in camp, with apprentices and several warriors to guard. Rip's right" he couldn't believe he had said it, Rip''s right. "Someone in this clan could be behind something" he growled, the only cat that popped in his head was Ravenfoot the cat who had been his friend when he was deputy, but betrayl soon followed and Shadestar found another enemy.

Silentshadow nodded and sighed," Who would you like me to get from the warriors and apprentices den?"

[.:Icey:.]

Shadestar turned to Silentshadow "both of you are comeing with me along with Cinderfeather, Dovesong, Moosetracks, Moonkiss and Flamethrower" he demanded turning back to Rip "she will stay here with apprentices and the remaining warriors.

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

Silentshadow sighed," Cinderfeather is dead and Flamethrower is in the nursery bearing her kits right now."

[.:Icey:.]

Shadestar froze and sighed "just get two others then and later tonight we will pay our respects for Cinderfeather" he meowed with no expression on his face.

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

Silentshadow nodded and disappeared.

[.:Rippledstream:.]

Silentshadow padded to Shadestar's side and gave him a reassuring lick. The two where in the den alone now, seeing as Rip and Silentshadow had gone to do their respective duties. With sudden agility, Silentshadow knocked Shadestar on to his back and pinned him down, her teeth grazing his neck "Rip might have a point" she teased, scoffing "That's what you're thinking isn't it?" she asked, her green eyes full of concern. She licked the leader's neck where she'd playfully let her teeth graze. "Don't worry. I'll be beside you no matter what" she purred, her green eyes gazing into his for a moment before letting him up. "We should get going then" she laughed, stretching.

[.:Icey:.]

Shadestar's eyes shot open, he was on the ground with Silentshadow on top of him. But seeing her smile made him grin, and her assuring words seemed to soothe him. He nodded hsis head to both of her quetions. Comeing back to all four paws be playfully nudged Silenshadows side pushing her a bit. "Come along we're even" he grinned allowing her to pad out first.

[.:Rippledstream:.]

Silentshadow laughed "I guess we are" she teased, leaping playfully out of the den, her tail flicking his nose affectionately on the way out.

[Hawkface]

The pale she-cat just watched coldly as all the cats guarding her disappeared, smiling. Fools, leaving her all alone while Silentshadows went to get more warriors to guard her. Stretching then laughing a evilly."Jeez I can't believe they fell for that crowfood... Clans cats are really mousebrains!" Meowing the words to herself then cracked her legs and paws while stretching, then padded out of the den unseen."This is gonna be easy..." All the stuff she told then was true except that she wasn't here to kill Shadestar but something only far much worse and as well as she knew who Hawkface was ... She could have escaped at any given time but what fun that would be as seeing all this drama? Nothing, that's it! It's time to finish her real mission as Hawkface had assigned. An assassination mission could wait, this was so crazy as was it's name... Kidnap...

Sunkit stumbled into the den, her mother calling her name in the nursery. She smiled and ran over to the rouge, rubbing up against her.
