[archive]▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬soft paw steps quietly sound through the silent forest. hazel eyes flick from side to side ,, watching every small movement around. it was evident that she was in another clans territory. it was evident that she was trespassing. but ever since ryeclan disbanded silverripple was lonely. being in that clan meant so much to her ,, to finally have a family. but once her home clan ceased to exists and she was on her own once more. silverripple couldn't shake the lonely feeling that weighed her down. she needed companionship. another voice to listen to. the sound of other paw steps in the morning. the silence was crippling to her ears. a crack. was it another cat snapping a twig or another animal? hazel eyes move toward the sound. nothing. probably just another creature. continuing her walking silverripple forgot about the noise quickly. but not that long after it sounded as if another twig snapped under the weight of something. was something following her? a fox or badger would have attacked her by now. straining her ears silverripple thought that she heard a voice ,, but the words were indistinguishable. eyes narrowing silverripple continued her walk ,, now carefully listening and watching her surroundings.
xxxwhere do you think she's going? hearing the hushed voice silverripple kept her eyes ahead ,, giving no indication that she herd it. if she listened well enough then she might just find out why this cat was following her.
xxxi don't know ,, but shut up. you'll give us away. this voice seemed much older than the first voice she heard ,, and grumpier too.
xxxdo you think she's one of them?xxxi don't know ,, shut up.xxxi hope she's a clan cat. i'm tired of being hungry all the time. so these two cats were hoping to find the supposed clan nearby too? her thoughts were interrupted though when a cry split through the silence.
xxxow! ow! ow!xxxshut up! whipping around silverripple saw two cats in the brush just off to her right. one seemed quite young and the other older. fur standing on end and teeth bared silverripple stepped toward them.
xxxwhy are you following me? she demanded ,, but it seemed that they gave no care to her anymore.
xxxwhat'd you do? the older tom grumbled.
xxxi stepped on a thorn! i stepped on a thorn! the younger tom wailed ,, furiously licking at his front left paw. watching the young cat whimper and whine silverripple forgot her anger. the poor thing! taking a few careful steps forward silverripple froze as the older tom glared in her direction.
xxxtake another step closer and i'll rip you to shreds. he snarled. narrowing her eyes silverripple took a step toward the two cats. the tom made no move to attack. catching his bluff silverripple made her way toward the younger tom.
xxxlet me see. she ordered. the younger cat shrank away from her. realizing the harshness in her voice silverripple softened her gaze.
i'm sorry. i mean no harm. but i can help with that thorn. hesitantly he showed her his paw.
it's not too bad. can you count to five for me? both cats gave her a strange look ,, but the young tom started counting anyway. on three silverripple pulled the thorn from his paw.
xxxouch! the young tom jumped back from silverripple ,, his fur puffing up. an amused look fell onto the older toms face.
that hurt! he licked at his paw some more before realizing that the thorn was no longer stuck in his pad.
but you got it out! thanks!xxxit's no problem. what are you two doing following me? she asked once more.
xxxoh ,, we thought that you might be part of the clan somewhere out here. we were hoping to follow you to its camp.xxxi hate to disappoint ,, but i'm not part of a clan. the young toms face fell at her words.
but ,, i was looking for the clan as well. you two may accompany if you wish. for some reason seeing the young cat look so sad broke her heart ,, and at her words he perked right back up again.
xxxdusty did you hear that? did you hear that? she said we can accompany her! can we? can we? looking from the young cat to silverripple the older tom seemed to debate with himself whether or not this was a good idea.
xxxwhatever. doesn't matter to me. jumping up and down the young cat purred.
xxxyay! i'm pond ,, he's dusty.xxxsilverripple. together the three cats walked toward the mountain looming ahead. pond bounced along beside silverripple while dusty lagged behind her and pond.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
paws pound against the ground as a cat runs toward their prey. claws outstretched and a wild look in their eyes. dust puffs up with every step and leaves crack under their paws. leaping through the air the cat reaches for the hedgehog trying to run from them. the small thing just isn't fast enough because before they know it claws are sinking into them.
i caught it! that's our third one today! aren't these things rare ta find? yellow citrine asked ,, turning to her leader who ran up to her ,, a hedgehog dangling from his mouth. the other hedgehog was buried somewhere nearby. white diamond nodded at yellow citrines question. it was something to have caught three of the rarest prey in the territory in one day. the changing of the seasons must have been bringing them out before the time of hibernation comes around. suddenly yellow citrines ears perk up ,, and so do white diamonds.
did yer hear that? indeed he did. a yowl from off in the distance ,, but definitively within the territory. some cat was hurt and probably needed help! dropping his hedgehog white diamond pawed some dirt over it.
xxxwe can come back for the prey later. i would like to investigate what that noise was. yellow citrine did the same as white diamond by burying her hedgehog.
xxxgotchya. on high alert white diamond bounded off toward where the cry of pain came from ,, yellow citrine trailing close behind him. if a cat is in the territory and is injured then white diamond wouldn't hesitate to help them. as his role as star cut it was his duty to help any who needs it. in just a few moments yellow citrine and white diamond had made it down the mountainside. keeping both eyes and ears peeled white diamond found his way to where he thought the yowl had come from. but no cat was present. though ,, a few splotches of blood lay on the ground.
paw prints!xxxexcuse me?xxxthere's a few tracks leadin' away. probably more than one cat were 'ere. let's follow 'em! before the tom could protest that they shouldn't just blindly run after tracks yellow citrine was gone. with a sigh he ran after her. lately the she-cat thought that it was alright to do as she pleased without even checking in with him to make sure that it is okay. she could be out of hand at times. did she not understand that he was above her? that she is just a marquise cut while he is the star cut! by the time white diamond caught up with yellow cirtine she was standing before three cats having a standoff with one of them.
xxxdon't yer use that tone with me ,, petty loner! she growled. the tom standing a few tail lengths away from her didn't seem too happy.
xxxi'm not using a tone with you ,, you mouse brain. and it's pronounced you ,, not yer!xxxdon't yer dare tell me how ta speak ,, yer flee bag! git outta my territory! yer not supposed to be on this land!xxxwell it's three against one. the odds are stacked against you!xxxwill you two quit fighting ,, you're stressing pond out! some length behind the angry tom was a she-cat and a younger tom cowering behind her.
xxxi don't want to fight though! stepping from the bushes white diamond charged up in front of yellow citrine ,, putting himself between her and the tom.
xxxyellow citrine ,, when i said investigate i didn't mean terrorize the cats that we find. he sternly said. when yellow citrine tried to argue he took an intimidating step closer to her.
go gather the hedgehogs then head back to camp. now. yellow citrine hesitated. glancing past her leader she gave one last glaring look to the tom before running off past the group back toward camp. once the she cat has left white diamond turns around to address the group of three.
i apologize for yellow citrines behavior. she can be ... protective of the territory.xxxwell you better get her under control. she's crazy. the tom muttered. eyes narrowing white diamond strode toward the tom.
xxxi would watch what you say. you weren't as gracious either. white diamond growled. the tom just stood taller ,, challenging white diamond.
xxxi think what this cat is saying is that ,, dusty ,, you were in the wrong too by instigating the situation. whipping around to face the she cat the tom started to protest but quickly stopped. how come he had been so belligerent moments ago but now he dare not raise his voice at the female? turning her gaze to white diamond tension released from her body.
i'm sorry for dusty's behavior as well. my name is silverripple and this is pond. do you happen to be a part of the clan nearby?xxxindeed i am. i'm the star cut. all three cats stared at him as if he grew a second head.
xxxthe what now? white diamond chuckled at the young toms confused expression.
xxxah ,, i believe in other clans i would also be known as the leader. i am the head of the clan. i give everyone their orders and duties. the star cut. white diamond explained. understanding fell upon silverripples face as well as the young toms ,, but dusty just stared white diamond down.
xxxso what? you boss every cat around like you're so high and mighty? huffing white diamond just ignored the toms comment.
xxxanyway ,, i assume that if you are looking for quartzclan that means you wish to join? silverripple and pond nod.
well then ,, follow me to camp.▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
as soon as the group entered the cavern pond collapsed on the stone ground.
so. much. walking! he exaggerated. dusty rolled his eyes at his brother ,, strolling past the younger cat. he glared at yellow cirtine who sat sat outside the marquise cuts den ,, grooming herself. silverripple on the other hand looked around in awe.
xxxthis place is stunning. look at all these jewels! dusty stared at silverripple with an unreadable look. she looked over to him so he quickly looked away.
xxxthey're just rocks. he muttered. walking past the exhausted pond ,, grumpy dusty ,, and awed silverripple ,, white diamond jumped atop the ledge where he addressed the clan.
xxxwill every cat please gather. yellow citrine ,, dusty ,, and silverripple make their way to the ledge ,, sitting below it.
i ,, white diamond ,, sit before the cats of quartzclan. on this day i bring forth two new marquise cut. silverripple ,, dusty ,, please step forward. silverripple and dusty ,, you are outsiders who has found their way to quartzclan ,, outsiders who wish to join our ranks. silverripple from this moment on you will be known as amber. dusty from this moment on you will be known as green spinel. amber and green spinel ,, i announce that you are now a marquise cuts ,, let the stars shine down on you and accept you into our clan. turning his attention over to pond who still lay on the ground white diamond said ,,
i asked that all cats gather. pulling himself from the ground the young tom walked up and sat beside his brother.
i ,, white diamond ,, sit before the cats of quartzclan. on this day i bring forth a new mixed cut. pond ,, please step forward. pond ,, you are an outsiders who has found their way to quartzclan ,, an outsider who wishes to join our ranks. pond from this moment on you will be known as blue apetite ,, let the stars shine down on you and accept you into our clan. jumping from the ledge white diamond walked up to head cat ,, resting his head against each cats head. after the ceremony yellow citrine stood up and headed to the marquise cuts den ,, obviously angered by the fact that green spinel was now part of the clan.
i also appoint amber as blue apetite's shaper. now ,, amber and green spinel you have to get your gems from starclan. white diamond said ,, explaining what he meant.
xxxooh ,, can i go get a gem? i want one! white diamond chuckled and shook his head.
xxxi'm sorry. only marquise cuts may go get a gem to represent them. once you become a marquise cut then you may get a gem from starclan. the young cat looked deflated.
xxxyeah ,, okay. looking deflated the young tom watched as the two marquise cuts padded out of the camp ,, amber glancing back at him ,, her eyes sympathetic. hours later amber came from the tunnels into camp ,, a small chunk of amber tied into a vine that hung from her neck. in the morning green spinel came back to camp with ,, well ,, a small chunk of green spinel hanging around his neck. it was obvious that blue apetite was jealous when he saw them,, but also joyous when amber took him out to train as soon as she got back to camp.
