//turtle's updated form and Seashell's form are accepted! sorry for the wait everyone, I have been super busy with school, swim practice, and a 15 page research paper in the making -sigh- but on a happier note, happy 50 pages everyone!
Eye of the Eerie Tempest
Tempest rose to his paws in defiance when Turtle threatened Gaze with unsheathed claws to the center of his chest. His fur was bristling, standing on end to give him a much larger appearance. Compared to Shadow, he was much larger, thicker-set in the shoulders, yet he could sense danger from the unknown tom. The green eyes seemed to rip at his fur from at a distance, and he cast the group of rogues a threatening look as he surveyed them. "This is all a fox-hearted lie!" Tempest spat, tail lashing in fury at the fact everything was falling into place for him. Turtle was the true murderer, not only of helpless Moon, but of the future of the tribe itself. No one, however, would ever believe such an accusation. He had a moment where he was prepared to exile Turtle himself before he realized he was being exiled as well. Being on Outcast Isle with just Turtle would end up badly. She would learn to pick on cats of her own size then. Turtle would have to face her crime, one-on-one, with me.

Flower That Blooms in Shade
Flower had groomed her pelt to near perfection while Tide was off exploring with Snaggletooth. I can be interesting too, right? She doubted her own likable personality. The hesitant apprentice peered anxiously around the clearing, releasing a sigh before rising to her paws. The plan she had come up with was to somehow make Tide jealous, but how would she do that? No one was around that did not seem busy, too old, or too grumpy. The she-cat turned towards the nursery, deciding to spend her time doing something relevant at least. Word traveled fast around the tribe. Flower wanted kits of her own one day, though she would refuse to admit it on the spot. The news of Night's kits being born was exciting to her. Though her tail dragged somberly along, Flower poked her head into the nursery room and asked,"May I come in, Night? I was hoping to see your kits!"

Shadow That Dances at Night
"Do you think this many cats would lie? You are holding this one cat," he gestured towards Tempest with a flick of his tail,"over the word of us all? Turtle did not just randomly find us skipping through your territory. We were all hurt, one at a time, and Turtle was kind enough to sneak us herbs and other commodities for the trouble. She would keep an eye on Tempest for us until we were healthy enough to move on. The injured lot of us continued to grow, more hurt cats coming in than leaving eventually. This is why we have so many of us now, young and old." Shadow was all-too-convincing. The words flowed from his tongue, not breaking once to reveal the hidden vile under his tongue. The lies kept on building on top of one another. While some found the task of juggling lies difficult, Shadow found it strangely easy. Believing the lies made it so much easier.

Stream Where Small Fish Swim
Stream stepped forward to defend her half-brother, eyes narrowing to mere slits towards Turtle. "Do you think we would forget about you being gone during Moon's vigil? Tempest forbade anyone from leaving the camp as well. Did you not hear his call when you were the one to report Moon's death to the whole clan?" The ginger and white tabby took a stand beside Gaze, casting him a cautious glance at the story unfolding before them.
