SunClan's Story [New Thread]

Nightfang
She saw Songpaw dangling there, and rushed over. "Mousepaw, get under her! I'm going to try to move that splintery branch." she said as she carefully tugged on the wood.

Miststep
{Warrior, 77 moons, ♀}
A slim silver tabby
with green-blue eyes,
missing an ear and tail.

Miststep stared at him for a moment as his words sank in. Inwardly, she groaned. She should have known. Empty territory? Too good to be true. Her fur bristled as he stepped towards her, and the fought the urge to step back. "There's no need for a fight," she said cautiously. "I mean you no harm. We didn't know this territory was already claimed."

Mousepaw
{Apprentice, 8 moons, ♀}
A small but broad-
shouldered brown tabby
with amber eyes.

Mousepaw nodded, scrambling after Nightfang. Soon, a tall tree came into view. Mousepaw quickly noted the splintered branch lying on the ground, recently broken. Then she looked up, eyes widening as she saw the small tabby clinging to the branch. She stared at Nightfang's order. What was she supposed to do? Catch her? She might make for a softer landing, she supposed, but she wasn't sure how much help it would be. She looked back up at Songpaw. "I'm going up." she announced. If she could pull Songpaw onto a more stable branch, they'd both be able to climb down safely. "Hang on, Songpaw!" she said, and without waiting for Nightfang's permission, scrambled onto a low branch of the tree.

Songpaw

Hearing voices under her, Songpaw tried to keep her grip,"Hurry! I'm slipping!" She said slightly scared.

Nightfang
She huffed at Mousepaw, but continued moving the branch. "Mousepaw, so help me if you come tumbling down with Songpaw!" she said as she finished dragging the branch. She stood uunder them, a worried expression plastered on her face.

Mousepaw
{Apprentice, 8 moons, ♀}
A small but broad-
shouldered brown tabby
with amber eyes.

At Songpaw's cry, Mousepaw hurried her pace. Her hind paw slipped on the bark, and her heart pounded as she began to slip. She clung to the branch, eyes squeezed shut as she steadied herself. She let out her breath, then, remembering Songpaw with a start, began to climb again. She was nearing the other apprentice, but to reach her she'd have to climb along a dangerously thin looking branch. She gulped. "I'm coming, Songpaw!" she said, though her voice shook. Stiffly, she crept onto the branch. To her relief, it seemed strong, and didn't bend or crack under her weight. Still, there wasn't much room to place her paws. She unsheathed her claws, tail lashing behind her as she tried to keep her balance. Almost there.

Deer nodded still looking angry but understand that fighting wasn't the thing to do
"we?"
he asked inwardly cursing
"just how many are there?"
he wondered his heart sinking into his paws

Nightfang
She watched Songpaw and Mousepaw, praying to Starclan that they would both be alright.

"Many." replied Miststep cautiously. "...There was a fire." she said after a moment, her remaining ear lowering. "In the forest, across the plains. The survivors...we fled here." She hesitated, trying to decide if she should continue. "I'm sorry, but we can't leave. We have nowhere else to go." she said after a moment. Honesty was best, she decided. "Perhaps you should speak to our leader. See if we can come to an arrangement. We have no wish to leave any cat homeless."

Deer paused thinking over this weighing the advantages of joining a clan and being protected from predators or staying alone, he finally decided on a decision
"your leader, will they allow me to stay if I wish it?"
he asked

"That's her choice to make." replied Miststep cautiously. She meant to leave it at that, but felt guilty at leaving him without a real answer. She sighed. "But probably, yes. I imagine she'll leave some land to you, as you were here first." Though probably less than you'd like, she thought, but kept that to herself. "Unless..." she hesitated, not sure if she should make the offer. Eaglestar had allowed rogues to join the clan in the past, but Miststep wasn't sure if she trusted this outsider.
