♥Brightclan and Darkclan, The Clash♥ Semi-Lit And OPEN!

[Africa.]

Sandfall cautiously padded up to Darkclan, Owlspirit doing the same from the other edge of camp. "Stormstar... I-I'll get Blackstar." Sandfall spoke quietly, shocked to see the leader of Darkclan so raggled and bloody, looking so tired. She didn't have to wait to see if this was some sort of ambush, their appearence was enough of a show. Taking off in the direction of Blackstars den, she poked her head inside. "Blackstar... Darkclan are here... They don't look very well. At all. Please come quickly." She explained, her figure outlined by a strike of lightning as it aluminated the sky.

Owlspirit padded up at Stormstar, just as cautiously as Sandfall had done. He shot a look of confusion and slight firmness to Copperpaw, nudging him back with his tail. "Stormstar," he greeted her with a low dip of his head, almost yelling over the raging winds. "What brings you to Brightclan?" Despite his calling over the winds, it didn't seem as if she'd heard him at all. Instead, she was found to be staring at the young, mute apprentice that stood before her.

It was him. It was her child, her son, the thing that had once been her one and only dream. Suddenly there was no more darkness, there was no more lighning, there was no more thunder, there was only her and a newborn kit, a shadow looming behind them...
"My kit... My kit...." Tears sprung up into her storm grey eyes as she stared down at the squirming bundle. "Mommy's so sorry, baby. Mommy is so, so sorry..." Her voice was rasping, choking, as though she were bleeding. The tiny figure opened his mouth, but the sound was completely inaudible. At this, she heaved another sob, pain striking her eyes. He'd think it was because of this. Thats what he'd think, and he'd hate her for it.
"Do it. Do it now, Stormstar." A rough voice sneered behind her, and she gave a yelp as her side was slashed at once again. She could feel the warm liquid running down her fur as the tom spoke once again, "You made my life miserable, now watch me do the same to yours! That kit will die if he is not sent over that border! And now, you can watch the border every day, knowing that your very own son is just across it. Poor, poor Stormstar." The tone was merciless, twisted, scarily joyful in this moment.
"Redstar chose me as deputy! He chose me! That wasn't my fault!" Another sqeak sounded from the leader as her muzzle was shoved into the ground, then yanked back up again. "Please, please just kill me! Maybe Roseclaw will make you deputy, you can get another chance! Just kill me, please, and let him live in Darkclan! Please, kill me..." Her voice was so much tinier then it had ever been, pleading so desperately, but the tom heaved a large, twisted laugh.
"You'd like that, now wouldn't you? Now over the border!" His voice was a deep snarl now, as he shoved his body against hers, sending her and her kit into the side of a tree. Wincing, Stormstar pulled herself to shaky, almost limp legs, with her kit being held gently in her jaws, hanging by the scruff. Wading through the gentle current, only a few short fox-lengths, the walk felt like an enternity that didn't last long enough, her last moments with her moon-old kit...

Sandcloud looked a him, her blue eyes hollow. "It's fine." She whispered, looking past him, but not quite, staring at nothing.

Stormflash only just stepped aside, his pelt bristling with fury and worry. He watched them all, then opened his jaws. "Blackstar! DarkClan need your help!"

Blackstar rushed out, gazing at them. His eyes sought out their leader, Stormstar. When he spotted her, and walked over, dipping his head in greeting. "I see the storm has driven you away from your territory. You are welcome to stay as long as you need." He welcomed her. "However, you will have to split into our dens. Nettlethorn! Escort these cats with the help of others to the rightful dens."

{I'm desperately confused. What's going on?}

[Africa.]

(Darkclan was driven out of their territory from the storm, so they came to Brightclan for help. The part in italics was just Stormstar having a flashback, its not actually happening right now )

[Keriae]

Blackstar rushed out, gazing at them. His eyes sought out their leader, Stormstar. When he spotted her, and walked over, dipping his head in greeting. "I see the storm has driven you away from your territory. You are welcome to stay as long as you need." He welcomed her. "However, you will have to split into our dens. Nettlethorn! Escort these cats with the help of others to the rightful dens."

I was going to post, but tere were two posts, and the I had to have my tea, and then I had to clean the kitchen.)

[Solanum]

Mistclaw was quick on the scene, showing cats to dens. Brightclan's dens were large enough to take a few more, but an entire clan was pushing it a little. "Stormstar, where's Briarpaw?" His eyes were flooded with worry as he looked around them, just hoping that the young apprentice had made it. "Jayfire, Whispertail's over at the back if you were wondering." Smirking despite the situation, he turned to some other cats. "The elders den is housing very few at the moment, no elders, so I'd like for some of you to go there." Pointing with his tail, he turned to face Stormstar. "I'm sure Blackstar wouldn't mind if you and your deputy stayed in his den, unless you'd rather be with your cats?" Cocking his head, he sighed, allowing her to think about it while he directed a few more cats to a spread between the dens. It would be hard but they'd be able to last the night.

(( Have it so that Briarpaw died in a den cave in or something if you wish. :3 I don't mind at all. ))

[Keriae]

Blackstar nodded. "I wouldn't mind it at all. And Mistclaw, you should join us." He looked thoughtful for a moment. "You'll have to excuse the queen in there with her three tom kits though. She didn't feel safe at all in the nursery, and being the only queen, she was lonely. So some cats can sleep in the nursery if there's no other room. And I'm sure Stormflash and Rosepaw won't mind guardin the camp for the rest of the night."

{VELVET! <3 Did you join? ^_^}

|Nettlethorn|
In a rare moment of kindness, Nettlethorn spontaneously touched his nose to her flank. "You know where I am if you need anything. Turning on his heel, he approached the two leaders and dipped his head respectfully. "Stormstar, if you'll allow me ...." He trailed off, uncertain why she was staring intently at Copperpaw. When Mistclaw took over, he shot the tom a half-grateful, half-irritated glance, before turning and padding back to Sandcloud. "Hm. It seems that they shall be staying with us for a while."

[Keriae]

Sandcloud nodded. "Some cat can have my nest. I-I want to sleep in Tigerblaze's nest." She missed his scent. The cream she-cat got up, and entered the den, quickly stepping over the sleeping BrightClan and DarkClan cats, and curled up in her mate' nest, breathing in his soothing scent, which was gradually fading.
