This Moon's activities wrote:The day had started uneasy, HollyStar even going so far to assign a warrior each hour or 2 to watch the graying sky. The only thing that didn’t make the cats weary was their leader taking up her position as a leader again. The leader had finally started to lead her clan once again.
The exile of BramblingClaw had sure dug a thorn into PearClaw’s side, she didn’t know whether to be relieved at the exile or be sad. BramblingClaw had been a treasonous Medicine cat, gathering mounts of deadly herbs just to hurt the clan’s leader. Even sorting herbs seemed difficult, AdderCloud and TwigHeart usually had to take over so she didn’t mix Catmint with the yarrow. TwigHeart had finally been tired of sorting for her so she simply meowed “PearClaw please take the day off. I know your mother’s exile was hard so I beg you to take a break”. The medicine cat had shortly agreed, but she was angered at herself that she could barely sort herbs. But she didn’t throw away the choice of catching up on her sleep.
HollyStar sat on the top of Flatledge (their high rock), observing her clanmates. FlareHeart climbing up with her, staying quiet for a moment. “I love you” HollyStar pressed her nose into his cheek “Please know that” she meowed. FlareHeart stared at his mate “Of course I know that” He meowed gently and wrapped his tail around his heavily pregnant mate “Why would you think I didn’t?”. HollyStar stiffed out a sigh and leaned into his ginger tabby fur “I was so out of it in the pass how-many moons, I kept blaming myself for ever death of my clanmates. I pushed you away like a stale piece of moss”. “Oh HollyStar, I still loved you through that phase” he ran his tongue over her forehead “being a leader and seeing cats important to you die is a lot to deal with”. HollyStar glared down at her paws and flattened her midnight black ears. “-But you grew out of phase, you didn’t completely abandon the clan” he pressed closer “Isn’t that what matters the most?”. HollyStar let out a puff of breathe “I don’t know, so I guess you win” she purred and pressed her nose to his chest. Suddenly her stable, easy breathe was replaced by a erratic and hard to puff out breathes “FlareHeart” she puffed. FlareHeart relaxed face was replaced by panic “Are you ok HollyStar?”. The molly hissed “The kittens are coming!” She hissed and stumbled down the flatledge. The tom rushes into action, leaped down to help his mate to the medicine cat den.
After the birth, the clan was extremely excited to see the new little faces of HollyStar’s kittens. The excited only fizzled out late in to the night. CoalSmoke was assigned to watch the camp, his normally eagle eye gaze was dusted over by sleepiness. Thunder boomed overhead, still the tom could barely keep his eyes open. Then, a horrible scent filled the young black Tom’s nose.
“Fire!” He squeaked loudly, rushing to every den to wake up his sleeping clanmates. The black tom had only smelt smoke once, when a lightning bolt had hit a old pine tree and it lit ablaze.
The camp was in disarray in moments, queens rushed with their kittens out of the camp. OakRiver dragged himself along side IceFoot, their kittens, and Aput. HollyStar shouted out orders, “all the apprentices take the freshkill!” “Some cat go help TwigHeart, PearClaw, and AdderCloud with the herbs!” “Someone help ChubPounce and FirPounce out!”. FrostBite rushed beside her kit, looking towards the entrance. FrostBite dipped down to speak to the Molly “Follow your clanmates, don’t separate!” She meowed urgently and nudged her kitten along.
Creaking over head made FrostBite turn her head up towards the sky. A large branch had been set ablaze as well, and it was about to snap. She roughly shoved HeatherKit ahead right as the branch snapped. The queen bounced back, trapped in a small circle of fire. Her brown orbs widened as she called for help, her pleading yowl of hell was drowned out by the flames. HeatherKit screeched “Momma!” Her eyes glued to her trapped mother she ran in a bigger, fluffier shape. The young Molly glanced up to see HemlockClaw waiting for every other cat to exit before she did. “hemlock! M-Momma!” She wailed incoherently, the warrior starred in the direction of her where her sister had come from. Her blood turned to ice as she spotted her mother, trapped in My the roaring flames. She whipped her head around to LupineFang, gently rushing aside ThriftRunner and her kits. “HeatherKit, go with LupineFang. I’ll help mother” before the tiny Molly could answer the older highlander dived towards her mother. She watched helplessly as her mother looked for anyway out. HemlockClaw looked for anyone could help save her mother with her. She spotted WrenCry, showing GingerBerry and FireBringer out of their dens pointing them towards the entrance. HemlockClaw also spotted a branch in the training stream that runs through camp, the branch was burned but not ablaze. “WrenCry!” The Molly yelped for her mate, lashing her nun of a tail. The brown tabby looked over and rushed to be beside the lynx pointed highlander “what? Are you hurt? Did you burn your pads?” The other Molly was concerned, her ears flattening to her skull. “My Mother is trapped, I need your help” HemlockClaw meowed, pointing her tails towards her mother. WrenCry looked at FrostBite before looking at back at her mate, detention blazed in her eyes “What first?”.
PearClaw was trying to save the herbs, the other medicine cats rushed beside her. They all dropped huge lumps of herbs for the warriors to take with them to the piece of land just before the second stream that fed off the lake. She gripped the last bundle of herbs, AdderCloud and TwigHeart were standing by the entrance more herbs stuffed within their jaws. She rushed out and dumped her herbs with her predecessors. The older medicine cats split off to help the remaining cats. PearClaw noticed a movement in the flames, a broad shouldered, rough fur cat stalked the clearing. She wrote it off as a random rouge and let out a puff of breathe. She rushed to help the remaining cats as well.
HemlockClaw dragged the right side of the branch, her mate on the other side dragging it as well. WrenCry split off as the branch reached where it needed to be, HemlockClaw pushed the end of the branch. With a deafening crunch the branch was safely laid on top of the flames. HemlockClaw presses her nose to her mates one last time before leaping on top of the branch. She looked at her mother, her mother’s eyes blinked rapidly as her head shook gently and hit the ground with a thump. She leaped into the circle of the flames, the fire licked the molly’s toe. She gripped her mother with her six claws, sinking her teeth into the gray-white tabby molly’s scruff. She placed the molly on her back and quickly skittered back on the log. Her mother’s dead weight was making it hard to balance. The flames had hissed at the sides of the mollies, HemlockClaw did a deep gulp and rushed across the blazing branch. She felt her paws reached the solid ground, and looked at WrenCry, yelping “I got her! Come on!”. She rushed towards the camp entrance, quickly followed by WrenCry.
“Come on OakRiver! The water won’t hurt you!” The medicine cat let out a long groan at the elder’s refusal. “But I can’t swim! My hind legs will just drag me down!” he wailed and flattened his brown tabbied ears. IceFoot swam back across, pressing her bony frame into her fluffy mate “Come on, I’ll be right beside you” the white molly drew her tongue over his ears. The brown tabby finally entered the water, his mate entering as well. The white and brown tabby swam across, IceFoot getting out first and helping her mate up. Their kittens rushed over to them, covering their parents in loving licks. PearClaw swam over, rushed over to take her place by the other highranks. HollyStar was counting “FrostBite, WrenCry, and HemlockClaw are missing” she hissed. PearClaw looked at her leader “I'll go back, I’m one of the best trackers” she meowed. The midnight black molly looked at her hesitantly “Only if I come with you”. The tortoiseshell did a small nod and rushed to swim back across the river, the black molly following her.
The two mollies sprinted across the rocky moors, leaping over the tiny streams that cut up the moor. Then they spotted 3 other cats serging over the moor. The mollies glanced at each other before rushing to meet the other cats. “HemlockClaw! WrenCry! FrostBite!” HollyStar yowled and touched noses to WrenCry glancing at HemlockClaw and FrostBite. PearClaw addressed HemlockClaw first, “Get FrostBite to TwigHeart, the others can help you get her across the river” she nodded. The hindlander molly nodded and countied on, followed by WrenCry.
When the two mollies had reached camp the flames were the strongest they had been. “You search right, I’ll search left” the black leader meowed. With the mollies splitting up they had more of a chance to find the missing elder.
After a while of Searching PearClaw reached a dead end. She backtracked and followed her leaders scent. She looked around the the black molly only to be meet with a silky “Hello PearClaw”. The tortoiseshell whipped her head around to see her mother pinning down her leader. The tortoiseshell molly had a twisted grin on her face, the black leader looked frail under the powerful tortoiseshell. PearClaw let out a growl and spat “BramblingClaw…”.
The molly purred “Oh PearClaw, my beautiful daughter.. I didn’t think you would betray me..” her last words were laced with poison. The molly sunk her claws deeper into HollyStar’s Throat “I’ll give you one last chance.. Join me PearClaw” she meowed, her voice like the gentle lapping of water. “You’ll be a leader, the cat in charge” she kept on. PearClaw shook her head and let out her long black claws -just like her mother claws- “Never” she growled. The older molly growled and stared at HollyStar before looking at her daughter “Fine..”. The older molly leaped at her, tumbling the two over. She lashed her claws through her daughter’s cheek, earning a sharp yowl from her. PearClaw shoved her hind legs roughly into BramblingClaw’s stomach, sending the older molly landing on her side close to the roaring flames. The molly lifted up and dived for her daughter again, she gripped the delicate skin of PearClaw’s ear and ripped up. The younger molly let out a loud, painful yowl. BramblingClaw spat the large piece of flesh towards the fire, she grinned. She stood above her daughter, claws on either side of her face “HollyStar, your not even strong enough to help your useless medicine cats?” she spat. PearClaw drew her front claws and hind claws down her mother’s pelt hissing. Then she saw it, a weak spot. She never wanted to do, she couldn’t ever think of doing this..
PearClaw lunged up and bit into her mother’s throat, her white teeth now stained with crismon and her mouth covered it her mother’s blood. BramblingClaw stood for a moment, shaking. A blood curdling screech entered the air, only to be drowned out by a horrible gurgling sound. Her mother fell on top of her gasping for breath. PearClaw wormed out from under her, she held back hot tears as she stared at her mother. She looked over to HollyStar, the black molly had passed out and her chest barely raising at all. She hooked her teeth into the moly’s scruff, she looked towards her mother’s body and knew she couldn't leave her. She gently placed her leader on her back and quickly grabbed her mother. She rushed as fast as she could out of the blazing camp.
After a long trot PearClaw’s eyes started to fail, they closed and open over rapidly. The molly felt her legs give out under her. “PearClaw! HollyStar!” the voices of her clanmates had surrounded her but the oncoming darkness was calling her name. The molly felt the light stop and she slipped in a slumber.
With PearClaw safely tucked into a quickly build nest, her grandmother slipped out with a mouthful of rosemary. It wasn’t from her stores but from nearby, she walked over to the bodies. HollyStar had died from all the smoke, FlareHeart was even mourning her when she wasn’t ready. SwiftRush, FlickeringSmoke and FeatherHeart were also mourning, FlareHeart had even brought over HollyStar’s newborn kittens. She suffleded her paws, SwiftRush and FlickeringSmoje had refused to take over FloodClan, the dilemma of this had made her scared for the future of her clan. TwigHeart tapped gently on FlareHeart’s shoulder “FlareHeart.. I have to prepare the body for her butrial”. The ginger tabby tom had been crying, his cheeks stained darker ginger “o-oh, yeah” he sniffed. The tabby tom had gotten up and picked up his newborn kittens, his older kits -and FeatherHeart- also joined him. The pale tortoiseshell had cleaned up the leader’s soot filled fur, rubbing rosemary into her black pelt. After a while of doing that she got to her daughter. She stopped and stared at the body, memories of a young BramblingKit and ThornKit filled her mind. She pressed close to the mollie’s body “I’m sorry my kitten, I failed you..”
She didn’t know if it was true, but she had felt the treasonous mollie’s downfall had been caused by her spilling her secret. She pressed her nose into her daughter neck before cleaning her up and rubbing rosemary in her fur. She spotted ThriftRunner, ThistleFang, ThornShard, and CoalSmoke come up staring at the molly. ThriftRunner had collapsed, letting out a wail as if he was a queen who had lost his last kitten he pressed his nose into her thick fur. ThistleFang stared at her daughter and looked as his mate for a moment before joining his stepson. ThornShard sniffed as he stared at his sister, he closed his eyes tightly and looked away before joining them. CoalSmoke could only stare at his mother’s body, he joined in the griefing as well.
She pressed her nose to her daughter’s head and fell into a slumber. In that same field of hemlock that she had seen in her dreams many times before. A ginger-and-white tom came up to her, he held a gentle smile. “FlickeringFlame!” she yowled and pressed her nose to his cheek. The tom didn’t speak, only pressing his nose to her forehead. The molly had woken up, her eyes resting on HemlockClaw. She let in a sharp breath and stalked over “HemlockClaw, may I talk to you over by the willow?” TwigHeart asked. The young molly nodded and the two walked over by the massive willow. “HemlockClaw, I ask you to be the new leader of FloodClan” the tortoiseshell breathed. “What?” she meowed, the highlander’s eyes widened and her mouth opened. “I beg of you HemlockClaw.. It's the only thing that made sense of FlickeringFlame’s sign” the medicine went on.
HemlockClaw had no idea if she could do this. It was clear some cats didn’t like her because of her halfblood. But her clan had needed her. She took in a deep breath and meowed “I’ll do it”.
HemlockClaw felt her stomach finally settle as she saw the dead willow tree. She breathed and turned to look at TwigHeart, she meowed a “Go ahead HemlockClaw”. The highlander stepped into the tunnel, walking down the narrowing path. She stopped at a massive shining white crystal, its glowing might had lit up the whole cavern. TwigHeart had step behind the other molly, sitting down and pressing her nose to the crystal. The hindlander breathed in and touched it as well.
Then boom! A world of light and stars open up in front of the molly, she let out a gasp of awe. Starry shapes swarmed the lands, apprentices joking with each other, warriors sharing tongues in the starlight, and leaders discussing clan politics. She spotted Twigheart beside her. She heard a “Welcome HemlockClaw!”. She whipped her head around to see a younger HollyStar. HemlockClaw didn’t have words, she just stared as more starry cats approached. HemlockClaw watched as a small kitten walked up to her “Hello HemlockClaw”.
She bent her head down “RobinKit, hello”. HemlockClaw had memories of a very sad DawnTail grieving over her tiny body. The calico kitten touched her nose to the older Molly’s nose “with this life I give you hope”. Pain surged through her, HemlockClaw could barely hold back a hiss of pain. “Without hope FloodClan wouldn’t come as far as it has” the calico went back to join the ranks of the starry cats, her smile never fading.
This was going to be a long night, HemlockClaw sighed.
7 more painful lives. One from SlateStar [The leader of og PuddleClan (the clan hollystar came from), mother of HollyStar and WolfBite] for motherly love. One from LynxPaw for the importance of training the young. One from MixedFur for courage. One from BitternKit for fairness. One from QuietKit for loyalty. One from DunlinKit for Faithfulness. And one from FlickeringFlame for compassion.
The last to approach was HollyStar. “With this life I give you acceptance” she touched her nose to the younger mollies nose. It was by far the most painful, her insides stung like some cat had dragged their claws threw them. “I couldn’t accept the deaths of my clanmates until far to too late, don’t make my mistake” she step back and closed her eyes. “Will all 9 lives we name you HemlockStar, lead your clan well”. The starry ranks chanted “HemlockStar! HemlockStar!”.
HemlockStar felt a prod in her side and woke up to see TwigHeart smiling at her “It's time we left HemlockStar”. The newly named leader got up, walking out of the tunnel. She stared at the night sky, the stars shimmered brightly over head. With a small nudge from TwigHeart the two step off for the temporary camp.
Soon after HemlockStar came back it was decided that the FloodClan cats had to move to a different home.
The traveling was dangerous but every cat had survived and the cats had found themselves in a mountain valley.
HemlockStar leaped on trop a trunk of a fallen tree, she called a meeting with all her cats. “FloodClan, we have faced many trials but we have now found what we were looking for!” the crowd of cats let a cry of victory, they had survived everything StarClan had threw at them. “And with this I think we deserve a new name for the next generation on the horizon! We are no longer FloodClan! We are HurricaneClan!” the cats stood quiet for a moment. “HurricaneClan! HurricaneClan!” started a few cats, and soon every cat had joined in.
They arelocated in a
Eurasian tundra, between two tall snow stopped mountains. A large steam cuts through the tundra, providing fishing and freshwater. The
camp is located in the wall of the southern mountain, it's just big enough for the fluffiest cats to get in but for the wolves and lynxes to stay out. The cave tunnel is vast, one tunnel leading up one leading down. The one that goes down is to the
Frozen Willow, a willow forever frozen in time. Cats go down here to share tongue with starclan and to request cats. Upwards is the clan 'camp', holes in the side of the 'camp' provide light for the dens. All of the dens are carbon copies of each other, minus the dens getting larger or smaller depending on what rank sleeps in them. A shallow stream runs threw 'camp', letting queens and elders easily get to fresh water. Scarce gorse bushes and roots of long gone trees make up the den walls where it is too open, thick layers of moss naturally grow in each den making a nature nest. The ceiling is very high, higher than any cat can climb. A large fallen tree trunk makes up where the leaders call meetings and call announcements. If you look above the tree trunk you will find a tunnel leading to a cliff edge, a small overview; big enough for two cats to sit on.
Yes, this would be a proper home.
SedgePaw was chosen to lead this patrol. She proudly lead her other clanmates around the valley, a new pep in her step. She was only stopped when DockPaw hissed "I scent rouge!". SedgePaw and her patrol followed the scent, ending up in a more wooded area. A large siamese tom was crouched down, his stance was different then what any other why the clans in her clan had hunting. She narrowed her eyes and with a flick of her tail sent off HarrierPaw and MagpiePaw to gather some warriors. The gray molly jumped out of the bushes, growling "What are you doing on HurricaneClan territory!" she snarled. The siamese turned to look at her with a massive rabbit in his jaws, he let out a hiss and ran. The remaining cats followed him, they followed him back to a small open cave. A gray companion laid on a well built nest, he nodded to the large tom as he dropped the rabbit in front of him. The siamese leaned down and rubbed his head on his companion's. SedgePaw and her followers rushed to surround the opening of the cave. The gray cat looked startled, they leaned against the wall curling their massive tail around their plump belly. The siamese growled, letting out his long black claws. "What are you going on HurricaneClan territory!" she hissed again. "TalonStorm, I thought you said we were on neutral territory!" the gray cat meowed. Just after the siamese looked back at his mate a few warriors -and HemlockStar- had arrived. ReedClaw and

Plot development]
↪ FloodClan is no more! FloodClan is now HurricaneClan.
↪ Fire rages through the old camp, destroying it. HollyStar and BramblingClaw are dead! Their clanmates grieve before leaving for their new territory.
↪ HemlockClaw is named at the first leader of HurricaneClan! She receives her new name and her 9 lives! (Lives - Faithfulness, the importance of training the young, Fairness, Courage, Honor, Loyalty, Acceptance, Compassion, + Hope)
↪ A strange rouge comes up to the newly arrived HurricaneClan cats (with his mate ThymeTail). He claims he and his heavily pregnant mate are travelers from far away, he requests the clan at least take in his mate. But HemlockStar decides to take both in, ThymeTail decides to help around but his mate only bosses cats around. Look below for more background! (TalonStorm doesn't count as a cat, he is only here for plot reasons. He wouldn't help hunt or gather herbs or do anything. I will only add him to my ranks for save keeping.)
↪ It is decided that there will be two deputies instead of one, if the leader passes they will fight (no claws) until the other gives up or they can claim they aren't ready to be leader too. HemlockStar picks a older cat and a younger cat (ValerianRoot and VanillaStrike) as her deputies. (Also, when a cat is made leader their mate will become the leader's mate!)
↪ New ranks are formed! Watcher and Watcher apprentices, for the most observant cats. These cats watch out for dangers like wolves and lynxes on the ledge, they also advise the leader on where to send hunting patrols. No cats have been made them, only in time will cats prove themselves proper Watchers.
↪ The HurricaneClan cats found a older kitten by the border! He says his name is EaglePaw and he got lost from his old clan; HonestClan. HemlockStar and WrenCry asks him a few questions before they decide he will spend one more moon in the nursery before he will become a apprenitce and his new name is EagleKit. FrostBite decides to take him into her litter, HeatherKit is excited to have a "littermate".
Proof for EaglePaw(-kit)'s adoption.
