Meet Me Under The Tree at Midnight (ALL SC CATS WANTED)

[~.:Firefeather:.~]

Firefeather

Firefeather climbed up to her mates branch, where he addressed the Clan. She looked down into the camp, and realized how much her clan had suffered. It saddened her deeply to know, none of her clan mates would ever return from the island, not even her mate Jetstar. 

"All Cats able to... All cats please report under the branch for an important meeting." she yowled loud enough so her clan could hear her.

She began to wait for all her Clan Mates to emerge into the center of the camp. Firefeather rehearsed in her mind what she wanted to say to the clan. 'I'm deeply saddened... No that's not good enough... Shadowclan! All your clan mates have perished... No that's not right either... Hey guys! The rest of the Clan is dead! isnt that just...awful...' She let out a huge sigh and hung her head. 

'Life is going to be very hard from now on,' She thought to herself. She was frightened that she had to raise her litter on her own, let alone a whole clan. But she knew it had to been done. For the sake of ShadowClan it needed to be done.

In as much pain as Adderfang was in, he pulled himself from the Medicine den and flopped down in the entrance, watching Firefeather. Adderfang had been the one to bring the news of everyone's death to the clan, and it had hurt more than any wound to know that none of the clan's warriors that left would return. Without much to say, his slanted honey-yellow eyes scanned the clearing. There was Petalbreeze, Slatenose, and the kits just outside the nursery, The medicine cat stood where all medicine cats went when a meeting was called, and Adderfang himself sat outside of the medicine den. There were no other warriors, and no others would come. This would be a sad day indeed.

Petalbreeze looked around as a meeting was called and heaved herself onto her paws. The creamy she-cat was not large, but her young body was not quite used to or ready for the strain of kits. It took her a moment to get outside and find a comfortable place to sit so that she was out of Slatenose's way. The tone on Firefeather's voice made Petalbreeze shiver. She hoped that this wasn't bad news about the clan members that left. The creamy she-cat still held a large ray of hope that Blacknose would return to his clan and his mate, but that little ray had begun to fade when she saw how few cats there were. It had been a full day since the patrol left! They should be back by now. Were they sending a search party? A lump rose in Petalbreeze's throat. Were they all...dead? Great Starclan, no! Petalbreeze nearly wailed that aloud as the thought of her made laying dead on the ground crossed her mind.

Firefeather

Firefeather looked up from her branch to see what the damage was. A few pregnant queens, a few half grown apprentices, lots of kittens, and one lonely warrior. Firefeather's heart stung with pain, she knew it wasn't going to be easy to tell the clan what became of their fellow Clan Mates. She took a deep breath and began what she had rehearsed in her mind all morning.


"My fellow Clan Mates... The patrol that was lead out by my mate yesterday, has now joined Starclan. Along with the other clans patrols, everyone ha--has died.  The only survivor is Adderfang, and as we all know,he is in a lot of pain. As of today, I have also kitted my first litter. As you can imagine, I'n very tired from this, but my clan needed to know the truth, rather then hearing the whispers that are running around camp." firefeather yowled to her clan, keeping as strong a voice as she could.

She looked around. All the faces of her clan mates filled with terror and sadness. She needed to boost their hopes.

"ShadowClan, we need to decided who will lead us... Who will fight for us... Who will hunt for us... How will we survive? My kits are too young for me to hunt yet, and I don't want another queen to have the burden of three other mouths to feed. The options we have are limited, but we as a Clan need to figure out how we plan on surviving." She yowled once more.

Firefeather looked at her clan and waited for a response from her clan mates.

Adderfang stood with a grunt and stepped forward. "Then don't hunt. Lead." The tom meowed loudly, stepping to stand directly under her. "You are the obvious choice. Your mate was leader, and you are older and more experienced than anyone left alive." Even if Adderfang was a slightly violent, unsociable tom, his words made sense, and he knew it. She was the best choice for leading. Adderfang wou--well....MIGHT go to war again, and there were no other warriors left in the clan, just apprentices and Queens.

Adderfang's statement was made more solid when Petalbreeze, the youngest queen, spoke up and agreed with the white-faced warrior. The tom nodded and flopped down back in his spot near the medicine den. He hated moving right now.

Firefeather

Firefeather's ears grew hot with embarrassment, but she knew her clan mates wouldnt lie to her. She knew that is was in the clan's best interest if she lead them. She bowed her head to her clan mates and replied ," I will Lead you.... We must go to the gathering and announce to the other clans that I will be leader.... I need a Deputy." Firefeather looked directly at Adderfang ," I say these words before StarClan, so that the spirits of our warrior ancestors  may hear and approve of my choice. The new deputy of Shadowclan is Adderfang And I, Firefeather, Their leader."

OOC: Sorry it took so long!

Adderfang's jaw dropped and he turned into a fluff ball. "D-deputy?" The tom's honey eyes weren't slanted for once as he watched Firefeather. It took a second for him to calm down and let his fur lie flat. "Firefeather, I humbly accept your offer and am honored to have your trust." This would normally have the tom fluffing up with pride, but the one problem he was having was his little crush on a survivor from the clan he very well hated and made that very clear to every cat. When Petalbreeze hag given a squeaking mewl of sorrow and retreated into the nursery, Adderfang couldn't bring himself to look that way. It had been Adderfang that had told Firefeather and had survived the war. "I will do my best to protect and honor my clan in my new position. Thank you, Firestar." Adderfang would be the first to call her by her new name, even if she hadn't gained it yet.

medicine cat, shadow clan

Speckledpaw tucked her paws under her neatly as she listened to Firefeather's announcement. The death of her Clanmates, her littermates, her mentor... it all saddened her deeply. She looked up to the skies, wondering how StarClan could let such destruction and pain happen. However, she knew that it was part of StarClan's will, and she could not question what cats much wiser than herself had decreed.

"Firefeather?" she called. "What about my training? I have no mentor to teach me."

queen, shadowclan

Slatenose padded up to join her Clanmates, belly sagging with the weight of kits. She felt that she would give birth soon, but she couldn't decide how she felt about the whole thing. Without her mate, she felt lost. She sighed as Jetstar's mate gave her announcement, and smirked as Adderfang told her to lead. as far as she knew, Slatenose was older and much more experienced than the she-cat standing above her. She winced, feeling a kit kick inside her, and sobered quickly. She herself was in no position to lead. She would have to wait until her kits were born, and then should stake her claim as a leader in the Clan.

[~.:Firefeather:.~]

Firefeather glowed with pride when her new deputy called her Firestar. 'Firestar...Has a nice ring to it.' She thought to herself. She just hoped she had the support of all her clan members. There only being Eleven members to her clan, she felt that she could be a good leader.  She heard Speckledpaw ask about training. Firefeather was unsure how to answer her question. She then replied ," Speckledpaw, When we attend the gathering, we will find out what the other clans want to do, when it comes to medicine cat training. Anymore questions?"
