"HELP HELP!" She yowled as she ran into camp and looked around for any other cats. Her pelt was soaked with blood around the cut in her flank, but it had not dried in yet. "TITANHEART HAS BEEN KILLED BY TWO DELIRIUM CATS! THEY WERE STILL ON THE TERA WHEN I LEFT TO FIND HELP!" She added, making her voice loud so nobody missed what she was saying. No cat would even know her secret. Her secret being she had not actually tried to help save Titanheart. The cut in her side and her ruffled fur was all fake. Would he hate her in Starclan? Would he know what she had done? She didn't care, all she wanted was Larkstar to keep her comfort again. Spectrelight padded over to the medicine cat hearin the last of what he said. "You know Wreathedstar left on a mission from Starclan." She added with a flick of her tail. This was no time for that now!

Leaf nodded to Taintedleaf, glad that he had appologised, even if she didn't like him that much anyway. His first impression had not been that great.
She jumped back in shock as a white she-cat burst into camp. Her fur bristled as she stared at the cat. Someone had been killed by... delirium? What was delirium? Was it another clan? Why would they do that!?! And who was... Titanheart?

Taintedleaf nodded happily as Leaf accepted his apology. He really was sorry. He was just going to ask Leaf to come along and speak to their Leader once more when Spectrelight ran in, dragin...Titanheart. His heart stopped, and a sick feeling came into his stomach. What had happened? Taintedleaf streaked over to him without any word of good-bye. Delirium?! Oh Wreathedstar where are you?" his mind screamed silently. Nosing Tintanheart, a tear slipped down his cheek off his nose, landing on the bloodstained pelt of the deputy that had been named that day. He was dead. A wail split his jowls apart.
"StarClan no! No, why has this happened? Where's Wreathedstar?" he yowled loudly, sobs coming into his voice. He stood, fur bristling and eyes wide in fear and pure anger from hell. He whipped his head around to the pretty white she-cat. "You said Deliruim did this? Oh StarClan. Here are our Clans fighting amoung themselves and the old survivors of Maliceclan have regrouped and grown stronger. Have any of you seen Wreathedstar..." his voice died out as he heard Spectrelight's voice fill his ears once more. Wreathedstar had gone. StarClan had sent him. And somehow, inside his soul the medicine cat of ZeypherClan knew he would not return. This could not be certain, but he was not here now when his Clan needed him.
A tear slipped down his cheek again and with one last look at Titanheart, he jumped up onto the rock where so many of ZeypherClan's leaders had stood before, when they had called their Clan together and spoke words of comfert. He had none now, but Taintedleaf knew this. Somewhere out there in teh sky, they were all watching him. All his warrior ancestors had their eyes on him. And with that courage he would guide his Clan until a sign was shown to him as to what to do next, or until Wreathedstar returned.
"Cats of ZeypherClan, gather for a meeting." his shaky voice rang out, sounding stronger and clearer than before.
ooc. Okay so Lynx who is the new leader going to be? Uhh kinda lost as to what to do. He doesn't know that Wreathey ain't coming back, but what should he do? -wails- |

Sickly-sweet smelling dew soaked her thick, wool tawny coat, sending chills racing along beneath her thick, winter-resistant flesh until Lynxstar finally let her face twist into a disgusted grimace. "If we do merge, I refuse to live in this pit of water and grass!" She lowered her head slightly to mutter into Cloudstreak's ear, her voice strained as she remembered what an important duty she and her two clanmates were embarking upon. Groaning softly to herself, Lynxstar could feel the air thicken with tension as they approached camp, fear-scent radiating from the grounds in waves, making the VertigoClan leader begin to feel anxious. Heaving a deep sigh, she attempted to lighten the mood amoung her companions by murmuring. "Don't unshealth your claws now, you might slice clean through the air and fall into StarClan." She snorted, and gave a weak grin, but they were so halfhearted, she only felt a moment of awkward silence drag out, kicking her into a fleet pace until they finally emerged into camp. It seemed that, as she panned her view to take in the entire camp, that a flaming ginger tabby stood atop the high rock, a commanding yet weary air about him, and the odor of fear encasing him was suffocating. Before Lynxstar could sound an alarm for an intruder taking Wreathedstar's place, she suddenly recognized the cat. "Taintedleaf?" She murmured to herself, gray eyes widening slightly as sh gazed up at the frightened, stressed young medicine cat. Bewildered, Lynxstar trotted briskly across camp, apoligizing to the smaller, scrawny ZephyrClan cats who she ran into, and darted up to the peak of the rock beside Taintedleaf. Reaching into her lungs to gather her booming commanding voice that she often used upon her own clan, Lynxstar called out to these faintly familiar cats, "What is going on here? Do not all speak at once. I must know though, what has happened to ZephyrClan that has torn you all apart?" |

Spectrelight watched as Taintedleaf called the clan to gather together. This was no use. No use at all. She bent over her pelt to begin to clean the small wound in her side, but when the scent of Vertigoclan invaded her scent glands her head whipped up, she watched Lynxstar through narrowed eyes from where she stood. "Delirium." The she cat spat in disgust, loud enough for Lynxstar to hear from where she stood. Though she did not see why the leader of another clan should stand up there before them. Not that she could deny that they would need the tawny leaders help, one, or another. Then she decided a one word answer was not what Lynxstar was looking for, and it did not seem like anyone else was going to speak up. Rolling her eyes she turned to look Lynxstar in the eye. "Wreathedstar has been called away by Starclan and has now left us." She told Lynxstar. She wondered how many cats knew this. Eaves dropping was a skill that came easily to her. "Then two balls of brainless fur killed Titanheart, well maybe not brainless, but they will be." She hissed. She was sure that what she had just said would about cover it.
Crypticstreak drew his tongue over his mates head. "I will be back in a moment." He purred and padded out into the clearing, but as he did he could feel the drum on tiny paws behind him, struggling to keep up properly. The warrior pretended not to notice as he padded into the main camp area, but when he scented Vertigoclan he snarled and pulled little Nocturnekit close to him. He could also scent a loner, but seeing Dovekit and Fallingkit already dancing round the newcomer, he relaxed a little. He dipped his head to Dewstream then approached Spectrelight, trying not to trip over Nocturnekit in the process. He looked at the younger she-cat, then at Taintedleaf and Lynxstar.

Taintedleaf tried to calm his beating heart as cats gathered around him. He'd never been up here and cats must think he was going crazy to be. Taintedleaf was abotu to speak to his confused clan when a new scent hit his nose. VertigoClan...what are they doing here? his green orbs widened in fear. His Clan was in no state to fight at present. He saw Lynxstar walk into the learing and hardly had time to question or explain when Specrtelight jumped in. His eyes narrowed as she hasitly explained. He jumped from high rock to the ground full of cats below.
"Lynxstar what are you here for? Why do you think you have permission to cross my Clan's borders? Hush Spectrelight, you think these cats are here to help us? Don't think we're weak because of what Spectrelight has said so quickly, because part of it may not even be true." he spat, unsheathing his claws even thought the VertigoClan leader advised not too. He shoved past Sprectrelight, silencing her with a glare.
"Tell me or we'll drive you out, why are you her?" he yowled, hissing as he came face to face with Lynxstar. Taintedleaf's orange fur brsitled and he waited for a reply. ooc, Ha you could say he is having a bit of a stress filled day... |

Sorry I am confused, one minute he is on the high rock, the next he is trying to push past Spectrelight who is standing below them? :S
Spectrelight hissed at Taintedleaf. "What is your problem?" She hissed. He was not the only one having a bad day. Her pelt puffed out with irritation. "Go and find his body for yourself if you want!" She added. Her eyes were narrowed and her tail lashed. "And so you want me to lie to the possible only chance of help we have? When we are clearly in need of it, honeslty Taintedleaf, I know we should be strong, I am a warrior clearly, but you are a medcine cat, and you can not lead a clan." She meowed. She made a move to step forward, but instead ended up tripping over a kit, Zephyrclan was full of them! She glared at Nocturnekit, before her gaze began to soften. She licked the kit on the head and moved away from him.

Hearing a chilling female voice hiss that one word into her ear, Lynxstar cringed away from the pale warrior as she passed, flicking her short tail and disgust at it, swerving around Spectrelight as she leaped to the jutting stone. Turning abruptly to the crazed ginger tabby medicine cat, the VertigoClan leader felt the fur rising upon her spine in a rigid trail leading to her short, fluffy tail, also standing upon end. "Peace Taintedleaf!" She snapped, narrowing her dusty gray eyes with calm accusation, her chest heaving as she refrained from pinning down the smaller tom. "Have you lost your mind? I will excuse your disrespect, but try and keep your mind about you from now on." The VertigoClan leader kept her voice low and rumbling, her eyes cold. "I excuse you from his rock, I'd like to speak with your clan while you exchange news with Stormwind. She's got a few questions for you, sir." Twitching her long, furiously quivering whiskers in dismissal, Lynxstar returned her attention to ZephyrClan. "A quest from StarClan, you say? I refuse to believe this. StarClan understands that Wreathedstar and I are now allies, and not only this, but medicine cats are the basis of all StarClan signs, not leaders. What more do you know about his disappearance? As for Titanheart-" Lynxstar heard her own gruff voice crack once, what a sign of weakness in front of these cats, but what high-position clan cat would not feel the pressure and fear weighing in from Delirium? And poor Titanheart, his entire life was stretching before him! "I think that you are not the only cats who will be mourning him. He was a strong cat, I know this well." Letting out a long sigh, then averting her dull eyes with a blink, the foreign leader rested her tender gaze in the sky, clouding over with the beginning of a summer-storm. "ZephyrClan, what do you propose to do?" |

Taintedleaf snarled as she 'excused' him and stepped up to the rock, speaking to his Clan. He hissed at Spectrelight. How dare she speak out like that? Lynxstar could od all she wanted, but he would be making the ultimate decision about their Clan's merging. A shiver of weakness ran down his back and he sighed. Maybe htats what was best. He looked over at Titanheart and then at his Clan. Once Lynxstar was done speaking he jumped up beside her.
'Excuse my Lynxstar, for beign so rude. As you can see our Clan is in a time of trouble.I donot belive for one second that Wreahtedstar was called by StarClan, would I have not been made aware of it? Somwehow I doubt he's coming back. Now m,ay not be the time to break the truth to you, but ZeypherClan as we quarrel amoung ourselves, Deliruim hrows stronger." he spoke with strength and true leadership. For a cat of only 17 moons, it was suprising even to himself.
"Lynxstar." he breathed, his eyes still sucpisioc as he truned to face her. "With our leader abandoned us, and our deputy dead, I am the only one left here with power from StarClan to rule. I think I know what your thinking, and I'd like to call you to Wreahtedstar's den with a few of my senior warriors to discuss with you, if I may." he sighed in defeat at last. He glanced around the Clan below him.
"Dewstream, Crypticstreak and Harvestmoon, coem with me please."

Cloudstreak stood near Stormwind, unaware of what to do, although he sat there straight and bored, like nothing was the matter. He glanced at Lynxstar, back at Taintedleaf and to Lynxstar again. A medicine cat was not supposed to speak that way to a leader, especially one from another clan. Hmm.
Dewstream followed Taintedleaf, a confused expression crossing his face. "I'll be back soon," he promised Shiverleaf with a nod.
Fallenkit's small paws kneaded the soft ground. She got up to follow, but stopped herself short. She didn't want to get yelled at, so she decided against it.

Stormwind watched Taintedleaf throughout the entire discussion, her eyes narrowed. True, his leader had just left and his deputy killed, but why was he so completely wound up? There had to be more than this. Medicine cats were supposed to be calm in times of need, keeping their head even when the rest of the clan wasn't. Yet Taintedleaf seemed to be failing somewhat miserably. Yes, he was a young medicine cat, but that was no excuse for the way he was talking to her leader.
Feeling her fur rise along her spine, the she-cat shuffled her paws lightly and growled. Her eyes darkened, looking like the leaves of trees at twilight. This medicine cat was starting to get under her fur. Narrowing her gaze, sure turned to look at Cloudstreak. "Something else must be wrong," She whispered, leaning closer to the tom. "He wasn't taught to do this in times of crisis. I knew his mentor; they wouldn't have advised this."

Letting her lids slowly slid down to cover her weary gray eyes, her nostrils flared, intaking all of these unfamiliar scents, while her neatly pricked ears picked up those odd sounds, the lark, the rabbit in the distance, so unfamiliar but somehow comforting. Somewhere in the dpeths of her memory she recalled living here, why? Dull-hued lights flutterign open at once, the mighty leader flushed away the reverie of her past before it threatened to sweep her away. Cometstar. She inwardly moaned. You owe me one, Mr, and you had btter help me through this, or I swear I'll yank you through the clouds and back to earth, just so you know how it feels. A faint smile lingered across her broad muzzle, disappearing as soon as she realized that she had allowed it to appear. Often so talented at hiding her emotions, it was off for Lynxstar to let such a thought shine through her aloof mask. Shaking her head quickly, the leader returned to the present, where that pesky ginger medicine cat was once more babbling on about.. something. She couldn't tell, but at once snorted and turned her gaze sharply to his. "Quarreling amoung themselves? Taintedleaf, I see no one quarreling but you. Leadership is not your place. Though I would appreciate your help in choosing a new deputy, you must watch your words. My clan sees the intelligence in merging to create a stronger clan than Cipher, and I should hope yours does too. If not, please allow any cat to speak out now. We need no council, not until after we have created a clan." Swinging her lion-like bust to the crowd of slender, fleet-footed ZephyrClan warriors before her, Lynxstar's eyes clouded over, oddly homesick. In the distance, clambering along a rocky ridge, she spied a small VertigoClan patrol, and again that reminiscent smile brightened her stone-hard features for a moment before vanishing. "Well ZephyrClan? I propose that the clan of the mountains and the clan of the meadows merge, at once, to create LuminousClan. Guided by the light of StarClan to defeat CipherClan, not only with the mighty power of the warrior code, but by our numbers, our lyoalty, and our strength. Have you an opinion on the matter? Speak now."

Cloudstreak met Stormwind's green orbs and frowned. "I suppose he's very stressed, but yes, I do believe he shouldn't be acting this way," he meowed, cocking his thick silver head to the side. He glanced around the clearing and felt oddly out of place. They were all so thin and...he was so thick. It almost made him want to smile. Hopefully if they were LuminousClan, they would move back to VertigoClan. He felt strange being away from his camp, but it was fun all the while. He wanted to snort some remark, but he kept his maw shut. The tom smirked. "They should agree, I'd hope they would. But choosing a new deputy? Is Taintedlea-" he cut himself short as their leader, Lynxstar, asked for the opinions of ZephyrClan.
----x
Fallingkit sat down on her haunches, shifting closer to her mother. She didn't want to be noticed by the large leader that stood before her whole clan. What was this talk? She didn't understand. "Momma, do I need to know about this?" the she-kit whispered into her mothers silver pelt, her two front paws, glowing white and kneading the ground anxiously.
