DeadHeart-

The light tan tom cat was once again pacing back and forth along the Star clan boarder- well, as close a she could get to it. When would he just fade away like so many others. . . He was done living- . . . maybe it had been a mistake to heed to these dark secrets the forest held? Why was he even here in the first place? Had it really been so long, had he really forgotten?

Maybe he could make it up to the clans, for whatever meretricious act he did. He pull others from their dreams and teach them how to keep up with their clan life, so many others have been doing that recently, it looked simple enough.

You're getting ahead of yourself again. . . He thought with a growl and his tail lashing madly out behind him. A small slope out of nowhere forced Deadheart to slip and become covered in mud. "Mouse-dung!" He spat angerly and shook the sticky mess out of his fur. The stench was truly revolting.

I guess I've made up my mind then. . . I'll see what I can do to make it up to myself. . . He quickly licked his pelt as clean as possible and sat down- trying to concentrate on where he wanted to go. The dreams of so many other cats were layed out before him. . . What clan was he even looking at anyway?

(Flight of the Thunderbird Your cat is the one he is looking at now Okay?)

ooc- I'm very tired but I promise I'll post tommorow. Sorry for dissapointing everyone.
Goodnight.

[Flight of the Thunderbird]

Run! Run! Run like the wind! the wind alluringly whispered to Sleekpaw. Youth is a shooting star that never burns out! Run! Sleekpaw leaped over a log and continued running. Sleekpaw was in bliss, just running, joyful, carefree, free from the budens of day, no-one to contol him, watch him. Suddenly, there was a rustle in the leaves and the scent of mouse wafered in the air. Only then did Sleekpaw realize how hungry he was. He skid to a sudden stop.
Why did you stop? Run! Be free! the wind half-complained, half-asked. "I'm a little tired and I just need to refresh myself. I'm going to continue later," Sleekpaw said to no-one in particular.
Sleekpaw trotted over to a little creek and took a drink. Then he went to persue that mouse,
Soon, he had it pinned under his paw and gave it a little nip on the neck to kill it. but only after he took a bite, he became aware that someone was watching him.
"He-he-hello?" Sleekpaw stuttered. "Is anyone there? Anyone?" The MidnightClan apprentice was scared. Very scared.
ooc- I hope this is okay...

Flintpaw stalked through the tall grass, relishing the breeze that ruffled his pelt. He was dreaming, and his dreams were usually dark and full with his ambition, but tonight, it was a much calmer dream, one without imaginary enemies and battles. He padded along until he reached a creek, where he stopped to take a drink. The water was very cold and refreshing, like melted snow on his tongue. His head jerked up suddenly at a noise he heard further down the stream. He slinked through the shadows, unseen, to investigate. Peering from behind a bush, he spotted a young cat several fox lengths away. Isn't that Sleekpaw of Midnightclan?, he thought to himself. Why is another cat in my dream? Flintpaw was very perplexed by this and decided to sit and wait, his amber eyes narrowed to slits, seeing what would become of the situation.

[[ Poppykit is not yet Poppypaw because there hasn't been a ceremony yet. Hope it's still okay-- she is 6 moons, so she's just waiting around. ]]

Something was dragging her, Poppykit realized with a jolt. She had been trying to wander toward the river and instead she was feeling the pull and tug of someone, something, dragging her elsewhere. Confused and in a dreamlike state, she let it happen without question. She was hardly even aware that this was a dream until she heard voices calling out to her. "Is anyone there? Anyone" She twisted her head to look and saw one of her own clan mates. Sleekpaw? They were not friends, but Poppykit knew him well. She was anticipating the night of her apprentice ceremony, and then they would be den mates; for now, though, the sight of him made her wonder what was going on. "Sleekpaw," she greeted bravely, noticing how silent and still everything around them seemed. It was almost...hazy...in a way. Like Poppykit could not see very clearly. She stepped closer to the apprentice and saw the crystal clear stream, welcoming her sudden thirst. Instead of drinking, she kept addressing Sleekpaw. "Is this a dream? I can't...see...all that well. Is this something from--" she broke off, hesitated, then decided to finish cautiously. "...from...Starclan?" Her ears twitched nervously.

[[ nomstar 's turn ]]

Maplepaw stumbled into her nest, tears streaming down her face. I made such a mess today in training. She couldn't get anything right. The tortoiseshell apprentice snuggled down into her nest, regret tugging at her stomach. Why couldn't I just stay and wait for Lightningflame? Soon she had slipped into sleep. The apprentice opened her eyes to find herself standing again at the edge of the bog where she had got stuck earlier today. Maplepaw tried to walk away but something was pulling her in. She couldn't resist and closed her eyes as she got closer and closer. but the slick mud never touched her. The tugging darkness never reached her. Anxiously, she opened her yellow eyes and saw to her surprise that she was walking over the bog. Happy, she bounded across, still feeling the tug at her fur. She followed curiously, wondering where it was taking her. Soon she scented other cats. Where am I? Maplepaw reached a stream where there were two cats standing by the water. From the smell of them, they were from Midnightclan. Even more curious now, she sat and watched, wondering what they were doing. Little did she know, Maplepaw was being watched. She turned around and saw only shadows. Spooked now, she spun around and began to dash back the was she came. The apprentice tripped over a fallen branch and crashed onto the ground with a loud bang. I wonder what heard that... maybe not even what, but who...


Skiv, your up!

Ravenkit was chasing a golden leaf in the wind. Her medium jet black fur seemed to flow easily in the breeze. She leaped up with a giggle, her claws extended out to reach the golden leaf. but like normal it danced out of the way quite easily and she landed on the ground with a sigh. She would never be a good apprentice if she couldn't get this leaf. The kit from Sunsetclan was now 6 moons old and was just waiting for her apprentice ceremony. She was hoping to get a mentor who was patient with her, and well didn't mind on how shy she was. Those thoughts were running through the young she-cats mind while her paws ran after the golden leaf. She kept chasing after it and then once she got close again she leaped up and this time her paws catching the leaf she brought it down to the ground. And she smiled slightly, then she heard a noise. Looking up at her surroundings she shivered. This place was weird, she hadn't been here before. The kit shrunk down a bit and looked around her green eyes filled with fear. but then she heard a noise again, it was someone talking. Not wanting to be alone the shy black kit headed towards the sound of the voice. Padding around she saw two other cats. The one looked to be about the same age as her, and the other a couple moons older. She sniffed and they smelt weird, she didn't know who they were. but it seemed like the younger one knew the older one. They carried the same scent, and then Ravenkit thought. Oh they must be from the same clan She then relaxed a bit before padding closer to them. Her bobtail lowered in fear. She kept her head low so she didn't have to meet their eyes. Her stomach tightening with shyness. She just whispered, "Hel-l-l-l-o."

A young-looking long-furred tom gazed over the border of Starclan and the Dark Forest, brown eyes narrowed in thought. The blue-gray cat flicked his long tail as he peered into the shadowy realm of those cats that turned away from Starclan. He had heard something nearby, and suspected one of those cats was calling some living cats to 'train' them. Like one trained my sister and encouraged her towards murder, Juniperpaw thought, heart sinking.

The former Midnightclan apprentice glanced back towards the forest of Starclan. Surely it wouldn't hurt if he just checked out what was happening tonight? With a thought, Juniperpaw dimmed his starry pelt; it would give him away too quickly otherwise. Carefully, he stepped over the border, and silently padded towards the noise he had heard. Now, let's just see what they're up to.

The dark warrior stepped out of the shadows and looked over each of the apprentices. This is more than enough to make a difference with the fate of the clans. He thought and looked himself over in the murky water before fully drawing each cat's attention with a hiss. Hopefully he was lose enough to the boarder that his lie would work.

"Hello, future warriors of the clans below the stars," He greeted with a smile, attempting to sound as a StarClanner would towards the apprentices, "I have called you all here to train along side us to help you become better warriors of your clans, what say you?" He asked. If they didn't believe him he would just send them back on their way. For those who stayed he would indeed train to be better warriors for the clan, and the code he had once broken to many times.

"Each of you present yourselves with your name and clan. starting with you," He would say and look to Sleekpaw. "Don't worry, I'm not going to bite." He would add with a lighter tone to try and keep the apprentices near him and without fear, it must have been pretty ominous to them for him to just sneak out of the bushes like that anyway.

What, what, what was happening? There was Poppykit, there was some cats from other clans, and... Juniperpaw? Wasn't he in StarClan? And there was that other cat. Was he a StarClanner? Assuming Juniperpaw and the other cat were on the same side, he shrugged.
"Hekllo, future warriors of the clans beneath the stars," he began. "I have called you all here to train along side us to help you become better warriors of your clans, what say you?" he asked. "Each of yourselves present yourself with your name and your clan, starting with you." He looked directly at Sleekpaw. What? Me? he thought. "Don't worry, I'm not going to bite," he added in a seemingly lighter and cheerful tune.
"Well, my name is Sleekpaw, I'm from MidnightClan, and sure, why not?" He shrugged. As long Juniperpaw and Poppykit were here he was fine with it

Flintpaw watched from the shadows at the events that unfolded before him. Several other cats had shown up, all about his age. There was even Ravenkit, his own clanmate. Flintpaw's eyes widened as he saw a dark warrior step from the shadows and address all of the young cats. Could this cat be from the dark forest?, he thought with excitement. He had heard nursery stories about the Dark Forest cats, which were meant to scare little kits. but he had never been scared. Immediately, he had been fascinated with them and all of their knowledge and power, he didn't care how dark.

He heard Sleekpaw introduce himself. Before any other cat could reply he emerged from his hiding spot and assertively stalked towards the group of cats. Holding his head and tail high he meowed deeply, "I am Flintpaw of Sunsetclan". He moved his amber eyes across the other apprentices and then laid them on the mysterious warrior. "And I will train with you", he meowed, somewhat arrogantly.

Poppykit turned to watch each cat reveal itself in a similar fashion-- each of them, brow furrowed in determination, only to straighten up and realize that they were not exactly in the same dream-world as they had been before, and that the elements had changed. She hardly recognized any of the cats that stood with her, but she could clearly see that they were all around the same age. From their lack of battle scars, she assumed they were not any warriors present. She kept close to her clan mate, watching as another cat, an elder one, stepped out and introduced himself.

Poppykit felt her fur rise. Something was definitely wrong here. Random cats didn't just assemble apprentices from different clans; especially not to "teach" them . She snapped her gaze as Sleekpaw stepped forward to give his name and loyalty so easily. Her eyes narrowed and she saw that the opportunity had risen for another cat to step forward. This time an apprentice from Sunset. Flintpaw? Poppykit could hardly keep herself quiet. She stepped forward and hissed to the warrior, "Starclan does not give apprentices dreams. Especially not at once, each of us different. Who are you and what do you really want? I can be trained just fine in Midnightclan." She turned to give Sleekpaw a sharp side-eyed glance, almost accusingly. Though her temper was hot, her voice tinged with cautious and wariness-- if this was work of Starclan, she was surely stepping against their ancestors wishes. And it was never a good thing to deny them. Her small ears twitched, and at once she realized she had yet to give her name-- but she did identify her clan, partially by accident. She almost choked on the idea that she would reveal herself as -kit and not -paw. What would that make of her here?

nomstar 's turn.

Maplepaw lay on the ground, listening to the voices that she could hear from by the river.  Hello, future warriors of the clans below the stars. She pricked her ears in interest. What's going on over there? She padded cautiously back the way that she had come. The voice only got louder. Each of you present yourselves with your name and clan. She peered round the bushes just as one of the apprentices introduced themselves. She was distracted by the fact that they were all in the same dream. How is that even possible? She wondered whether she should go out and introduce herself. I can't do it. I can't go out there, with those cats that I don't know and that might hurt me or capture me...

Skiv, you're up!

[Skiv]

Ravenkit noticed that Flintpaw was here too. She didn't like him very much or his mentor, Whitehare. She black she-cat shivered slightly with they thought of the warrior's name. She didn't like him at all and it seemed to her that his ways were rubbing off on Flintpaw as well. She didn't like it at all. She didn't even want to be near that cat. She was frightened at the moment. Then when the voice came she jumped here black fur rose on her back and she looked over her shoulder with widen green eyes. This cat was weird looking but he seemed to be a warrior of some sorts. She was totally frighten and she just stood there her paws shaking frozen with fear. When he came to her name she just shook her head and backed away from the weird warrior. She just looked at her paws and stuttered out, "Ra-Ra-Ra-venkit, Sun-un-unsetclan"
