We don't need more of this. (Kiba/Fox)

[Splash]

Padding to the enterence of Ravenstar's den, she called in, "Ravenstar! Someone needs to see you." She'd taken the MidnightClan apprentice to StormClan camp and therefore to Ravenstar. It was the leader's choice what to do with him, though.

[kiba]

Thunderpaw slipped into the leaders den. He bowed his head. On the way back he had stopped crying and was now looking at the tom. "I came to join Stormclan," he mewed, his voice tired.

[Foxpaw]

Ravenstar got to his paws, eyed narrowed at the young cat that smelled distinctively of MidnightClan. "Thank you. You can leave now," he mewed, dipping his head to the she-cat before turning to the young tom. "Oh really? And who are you?"

[Splash]

Nodding, Gladepool stepped out of the den, leaving the Apprentice with Ravenstar. She wondered if Ravenstar would let the apprentice join, but, that was beyond her power.

[And there she goes. Never to return! ]

[kiba]

"Thunderpaw of Midnightclan, but you could tell where I was from by my scent. I am not welcomed there anymore because of something my brother provoked me to do," he stated, ears drooping and eyes closing.

[Foxpaw]

"Sit. Tell me your story," Ravenstar mewed, motioning with his tail. He would have to find some way to convince the young tom to go back. Midnightstar better be greatful.

[kiba]

Thunderpaw sat down, wrapping his tail around his paws. "I was just trying to protect Nightstep, you know, the blind she-cat. I just wanted the best for her. but she didn't love me. She loved my brother. I just got jealous and I attacked him. but he... he always rubbed it in my face. I got tired of it and I attacked him. I clawed his face, but he didn't attack me back. So I aimed another blow. Than Nightstep interfered. I told her to move, but than Lightningwind said several words to me and than turned and said some more to Shadowstep. He than ran off. Midnightstar came out and intervened. She took away my warrior name and sent Shadowstep to clean nests. I ran than. I'm never going back. They wont accept me," he stated, clawing the ground.

[Foxpaw]

Ravenstar listened to the young tom's story. It seemed like he was at fault here, not his clan but telling him that wouldn't help anything. "Thunderpaw, part of being a warrior means you're going to go through some tough times. but through it all you've got to be loyal and work through it for your clan, and in return they'll repay you for it. You're clanmates will hold more respect for you if you go back and face your problems head on with courage. If you run away though, no cat will respect you. You need to go back and show them how strong you are," he mewed as gently as he could, tail resting on his shoulder.

[kiba]

Thunderpaw shook his head. "Don't send me back. Please don't send me back," he whimpered, lowering his head.

[Foxpaw]

Ravenstar had to bite back a sigh, pity for the tom tightening his heart. "Don't you want to prove that she-cat and your brother wrong? Show them that you're stronger than them, that you don't need them?" he questioned gently. "You've got to be strong Thunderpaw. I know you can do it, and your clanmates will miss you. I know if I had a strong, brave tom like you in my clan, I'd be upset to find you missing."

[kiba]

Thunderpaw let out a snort. "I can't right now. Can I stay here while I think it over?" he asked, looking at the clan leader with wide eyes. They were begging him not to send him away.

[Foxpaw]

"Very well. Just for the night," he mewed with a sigh.
