"Than why call us out, Turtle, when we lied to protect ourselves?" Fox answered back, an odd calmness to his tone, "Now what's Shadow going to do to us, huh?"

( talon of feathered egret ) - ( shecat ) - ( rogue ) - ( devilish )

xxxxxxxhatred burned through her body like ice in her veins. she hated little. she hated the tribe. this was all little's fault. she came in and stole shadow away from her like the egret who stole her brother. she couldn't stand the thought of little anymore. the cat who was once her best friend was now her sworn enemy. she won't get away with this. talon thought with a devilish grin. in fact, i'm going to show shadow how much better i am one way or another! she swore to herself. when she swore something, she put her life on the line. she was going to do it no matter what. no one and nothing could stop her now.

xxxxxxxtalon grinned as she thought about how little would suffer, knowing what she did to talon. she ripped her heart apart. talon lost the one she cared about most- because of little. it was all her fault. she repeated these facts in her head until she could swear on them for the rest of her days. little wasn't some ordinary innocent cat. she was a liar. and talon couldn't stand liars.

xxxxxxxshe thought about the daydream she had earlier where she and shadow were nuzzling. it's going to happen. and when it does, little is going to be sorry for the day she ever crossed paths with me. she thought, grinning softly. she was ready to fight back for what she wanted. she wasn't going to be walked all over like a doormat. not anymore. she was the one who had been there with shadow longer. she was the one who helped draw little into the group. and how did they repay her? they didn't. she just got cast aside as shadow made, in talon's opinion, the worst mistake he possibly could. for some reason this didn't make talon think any less of him, but even worse of little.

The pale gray and white tabby she-cat hissed, her tail lashing.

Eagle sighed and stood. "ENOUGH! This is Shadow's tribe now and if you dont like it go with those kittypets Tempest and his admirer Raven!" he yelled.

//aaaaa, Crow's post was so sweet. <3 and ophelia, that advanced post was amazing. I could really tell her frustration and anger, wonderful writing!

Shadow That Dances at Night
Shadow turned to his mate with a confused light flickering in his eyes. Once he realized what was happening, his claws unsheathed into the smooth surface of the stone. The neck on his fur stood on end, and his green eyes were alight with a venom packing a sting. His cold gaze pinpointed Rain in the crowd once more. She was the deceiver. He lightly jumped off from the rock, striding forward through the crowd. Shadow shouldered his way past a few stragglers, spitting at those that stood in his way. He noticed a smaller, apprentice-sized feline pressed against Rain, and he realized that they must be the medicine cats of the tribe. The scent of herbs lingered on their pelt to begin with. He had not noticed it from his seated position on the boulder. "How are you? Do not speak to Little that way. You are not in the place to do so." Shadow spat when he was within earshot.
Shadow turned to Eagle as he spoke, limbs taut with the need to leap upon the back of Fox. The apprentice was hotheaded and naive in his opinion. Did he know who he was speaking to? "Eagle, I want you to keep Rain and Fox separated. Riots begin in groups, and someone needs to be taught a lesson about speaking to your higher ups." Each word was spat out individually, but he eventually found himself settling into an uneasy calm.
The dark brown tabby flexed his shoulders, the sunlight emanating off his sleek pelt in rows. His green eyes turned into stone, and he turned to stalk back through the gathered felines to stand beside Little. "This meeting is over."

Eye of the Eerie Tempest
The tom paused in his constant state of walking to meet Crow's undying, intense gaze as she spoke of her declaration. To be exiled from a home, a place of safety and friendships, to follow in the paw steps of a leader accused of killing an innocent was absurd. Moon was loved by all of the tribe for her thoughtfulness and liveliness. Many members of the tribe, no matter their former loyalty to him, were unsure of where he stood on the matter. They were not going to make the mistake of trusting a cat that possibly killed the future of the tribe. "Crow, I respect you and your decision. I am honored by your loyalty, truly honored," he paused, the disbelief in his voice evident,"but what about Flower, Minnow, and Tide? What about the tribe? I can handle myself on my own, but without individuals like you in the tribe, Shadow might gain more power than originally intended. You have the power to contradict his lies, to bring him down to your reality and reveal his secrets. Tempest took a seat to signify having the traveling group take a break, noticing the slight huff from Flower whom was struggling to keep up. They were close enough to the isthmus barrier, and low tide was still a while away. They had made decent time.
Tempest turned to Raven with surprise emanting from him at the sudden appearance. Had she follow them this far? The isthmus barrier was a decent walk from the camp. Was something bad happening at camp? He stood up in anticipation, eyes wide with the anxiety of what Shadow could have already done back at camp with him gone. As he listened, the tom's gaze turned from anxiety to sorrow for her attempt at fixing the situation. "Standing up for myself is not important, Raven. Night, her kits, Sunset, and the apprentices are what is important. We have already lost a vital member of the tribe, Moon, and I will not risk any more lives being lost along the way. I would rather my name be thrown to the dirt if that meant no one would get hurt. Besides, while you all may have faith that I did not kill Moon, without proper proof, who knows if the others will stand behind me? I cannot risk it." His heart yearned to race back to camp and fight off Shadow with tooth and claw, but it was a risky and dangerous situation.

Flower That Blooms in Shade
Flower felt like she was being treated like a kit. She could be just like Crow if she wanted to! Or at least, that is what she thought. The moody she-cat scuffed the ground each time she walked, kicking rocks along the way to keep amused. Her paws were sore already from the walking, but she was not going to admit it. She held back the relief of stopping for a little bit, eyes narrowing in confusion at Crow's statement. Was she purposely trying to get Tempest in her favor? She wanted to say she would go as well, but she did not want to leave Tide and Minnow by themselves. Tide was one of her best friends, and she could not imagine not seeing him again.

Stream Where Small Fish Swim
Stream nodded her head in agreement with Sunrise. She had dropped her attention from Shadow while he asked about being treated for his wounds, which is why she jumped to her paws in confusion when Little started yowling. Her ears pressed against her head, a low hiss emanating from her maw. "Calm down!" Stream called out to no one in particular, realizing finally that Shadow was advancing on Rain and Fox. She would not get there in time if he happened to attack them. The she-cat cast Sunrise a glance filled with worry and anger, deciding she would be able to help at least a little bit if a fight broke out. She began pushing her way through the crowd as well, fur on end with the rush flowing through her.

Fox rolled his eyes at Eagle, glaring before giving a mischievous smirk, "And we're the kittypets, huh? You were the one willing to roll over right awat and obey a tyrant. Are ya scared, Eagle?"

LIght gave a nod of approval to Tempest's words, "If you would like," he spoke to Crow, an idea sparking, "I did mention earlier I wouldn't mind you as an apprentice. Would you be willing to train with me, and we can investigate together? We can figure out this mystery and bring Tempest home!"

[RavenshadowRose]

Eagle growled, walking toward Fox. "Shut up and move." he said, pushing Fox away from Rain.

Raven looked at Tempest. "Tempest, listen to me! Rain and Fox and the others are going to be hurt if we dont go back! I can't just kill Shadow, it's not in my blood! I was never meant to be the next leader of the tribe! It must be you! Shadow is going to kill them for standing up for themselves! And remember Eagle? He's changed! Tempest please help us..." she said almost ready to cry.

[happysparrow]

Fox growled, lifting a paw of unsheathed claws and slashing it across Eagle's face. His little needlelike claws weren't lethal, but they would certainly sting quite a bit, "Scaredy cat!"

"And, you weren't the next leader of the tribe..?" Light raised an eyebrow, a bit concerned, "As Lieutenant, I do believe that would be my position. You can certainly still help, however, in our investigation. If Tempest goes back, every cat in the tribe is at risk. He made this decision himself, and as hard as it is we need to respect it,"

"raven, have you gone mad? you aren't the lieutenant, light is. he's going to be the next leader. well... after shadow that is." she said, her eyes looking down sadly. she took it in that raven was sucking up to tempest though and it was bothering her immensely.

The pale gray and white tabby she-cat growled, her normally calm voice now low and intimidating. "Then I suppose you'll have fun with no healers for any of your wounds, you pack of heartless foxes."
