Swirlfall

"I chased off the Rouge's attacking Echostar, and you blame me?!" I can't believe she would blame me Swirlfall thought. Now he could feel his fur bristling. "If she dies she loses a life." And then Leafwhisker will never forgive me. But what can I do to help? I'm not a medicine cat so that's not a option... "well, I guess the only thing I can do us wait."

Stripedpaw

" I wonder what my warrior name will be." "What do you think streamwind?" " I hope I lik-- Echostar!!! What happened? Is there anything I can do to help? Please don't die Echostar. This clan needs you. Don't give up...

Appleblossom 

Appleblossom came out of the Medicine Den with the Elder and Oak leaves. She dropped the leaves at the sight in front of her. "Leafwhisker!  Swirlfall! Both of you calm down! Leafwhisker, don't forget the thyme. Make sure everyone has some." She ran over to Echostar and began to cover her stomach with oak leaves. "This will stop the bleeding and help prevent infection.  She should be alright." Silently she added, "I hope..."

Streamwind 

Streamwind was chuckling at Stripedpaw's enthusiasm until he saw Echostar. "Oh jeez..." he muttered.  At Appleblossom's words,  he looked down to the apprentice. "See?" He said. "No need to worry.  She'll be just fine." Though he hid it well,  he was a little worried,  too.  What if... Well,  it wouldn't do any good to think like that,  would it?

Echostar

"I'm fine guys!!" "I'm right here!!" Why weren't they responding? That's when she looked at herself, her pelt was covered in starlight. No, no, nooo.... I can't be dead... that's when another cat, a tabby, said " oh silly cat, your not dead, your just Lossing a life. What? I said, You. Are. Not. Dead. Your just Lossing a life. When you became leader, Starclan granted you nine life's to lead you clan with." 

Than everything started to swirl into stars. " Wow,.... What's going on? Owwww!!" Now she lay in the center of a circle made of her clan mates. " Leafwhisker, Swirlfall, Streamwind, Appleblossom,  Stripedpaw, im here."

Leafwhisker

"Echostar, my baby!!! Your alive!!" She buried her nose in her daughter's fur. "My sweet, sweet baby, I thought I had lost your forever..."

Swirlfall

" Oh thank starclan your alright Echostar!" He breathed in her scent to make sure he wasn't dreaming. " If we had lost you... I wouldn't know what to do with myself. He sat down and stared at his leader. "Thank starclan your alright".

Stripedpaw 

"Your ok!!!" "I don't care about being a warrior anymore!" "I'm just happy your alright!" She sat down next to her leader. She knew that everything was going to be alright.

Streamwind 

Streamwind breathed a sigh of relief when Echostar woke up. 'Thank goodness nothing happened to her,' he thought. 'Our clan is still way too new to lose a leader.'

Appleblossom 

Appleblossom sat back from the now-conscious Echostar. She waited until everyone else had finished speaking before she asked, "Are you in any pain?  Would you like me to get you something?"

( Do you want Snowstrike to come in as one the Rouges that was like, forced to fight, or just pretend he was there the whole time?)

Echostar

" My belly hurts a little but other than that I'm fine. I have a question for the whole clan, Where do you think they came from, and how would they now where to fine our camp?" She let that sink in for a moment. " And one more question, is Stripedpaw ready to become a warrior?" She thought it was high time for the little pesky apprentice become a warrior.

Leafwhisker

When she heard Echostar's questions she was dumbfounded. Where did the Rouges come from, how did they find there camp, and was Stripedpaw ready to become a warrior?  It was happening so fast she almost forgot about the thyme. " Oh yeah, Appleblossom told me all of you should have some of this" she said as she passed around the thyme.

Stripedpaw

I'm ready to become a warrior! I am ready! Oh thanks stripedpaw said when Leafwhisker handed her the thyme.

Swirlfall 

The Rouges might have come from a underground camp. That would explain why we haven't spotted them before. They could've found the camp when they came out of their camp and thought the forest belonged to them so when they found us they attacked. And I think this apprentice deserves to be a warrior. 

I think you should snowstrike be forced to fight then join.

((Sounds good to me.  Should I just have him  escape from the other rouges and find his way back to camp?))

Appleblossom 

Appleblossom thanked Leafwhisker for the thyme, but as she didn't have any answers,  stayed mostly silent. 

Streamwind 

Streamwind nodded in agreement with Swirlfall. "That sounds like a plausible explanation.  And," he added,  grinning broadly at Stripedpaw, "I definitely think that this little rascal is ready to be a warrior."

( that sounds great to me!)

Echostar

" Well let's not make Stripedpaw so jumpy that she wakes up the entire forest, I think we need a little cheering up...." now she stood atop the highrock. " Stripedpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and use your abilities as a warrior should? ( Can we just pretend she said yes?) " Than by the powers of StarClan, from this day forward you shall known as,... StripedHeart!!

Leafwhisker

" StripedHeart, StripedHeart, StripedHeart!!" She was the first to call out the young warrior's new name.

Appleblossom and Streamwind joined in on the chanting. "StripedHeart! StripedHeart! StripedHeart!"

Over all the noise,  neither of them heard leaves rustling nearby.


Snowstrike

Snowstrike had finally gotten away from those stupid two-legs only to be caught by a bunch of rouges. There were more of them,  so he had decided not to fight them.  But not even a day later,  the rouges had found a camp and decided to fight,  making Snowstrike go with them.  He had fought against the members of Echoclan, trying to do as little damage as he could without looking too suspicious. In fact,  all he had done was trip Leafwhisker. But when most of the rouges surrendered,  he followed them into the trees just far enough too be out of sight.  When he started running in a different direction,  he happened upon the camp once more and realized he had gone in a circle. 

'Oh great,' he thought,  looking around. 'I'm back here again.' Snowstrike stepped back into the shadow of the trees,  watching the scene in front of him and hoping he wouldn't be seen. 

Swirlfall

stripedheart, stripedheart, stripedheart! bending his head down he said, this name suits you well. 

stripedheart

yeah!! i love it! i am now a warrior! right?

Echostar

While everyone was chanting out the young warrior's new name she hear a rustle in the shadows and the sent of rouges filled her nose. Oh, not again, ill take care of this myself. Queitly she slinked off towards the shadows. " Ahh, ha! And what might you be doing here, not had enough yet?" she callenged. Now that she was looking at this cat he didn't look like it would be out in the woodland attacking camps. It was a male she knew just by his smell, he had two different colored eyes and he was white, a uncommon color for cats of the forest. " Say what is your name? you don't look like your from around here."

There was somthing about this cat that made need to know the whole story. She would nevr admit this to anyone but he was kinda cute....

Leafwhisker

" Congrats, StripedHeart, your finaly a warrior! I always knew you had it in you! you wont forget to help with my bedding will you? Your the youngest here so you'll still help me out! 

I'm kidding, no need to get your fur in a knot!

stripedheart

"thats not a funny joke, but i'll still help from time to time." "Hey, where'd Echostar go?!" "We just got her back and now she's gone." "Where could she have gone off to?" "This is no time to go back into battle." 

Swirlfall

Quickly looking around he realized stripedheart was right." "Streamwind, stripedheart, come on." "Let's go find our leader." " She couldn't have gone far."

Snowstrike 

Snowstrike jumped when Echostar suddenly appeared.  He shook his head and sighed at the misfortune of getting caught.  Being a cat of few words,  he tried to answer her questions as simply as possible. "My name's Snowstrike. No, I don't come from here." Echostar would have to work harder to get more details from him.  He shook his head again.  He had already escaped twice today from two different places,  and Snowstrike wondered if he would have to escape from here,  too. 

 Streamwind 

Streamwind looked around and realised that Stripedheart and Swirlfall were right.  Where was Echostar? He nodded and followed the other two. 

Appleblossom 

Appleblossom knew that Echostar had been fine last she'd seen,  and trusted her to be able to take care of herself fairly well. She then turned to the direction of the Medicine Den and said over her shoulder, "Unless anyone else needs anything,  I'm going back to my Den." Under her breath,  she added, "Much less noise and excitement in there."

Stripedheart 

When they got to the edge of camp, stripedheart stopped. Wait a minute, I Smell... rouge! They just can't give up can they?! Well they're going to be running with their tails under them after I'm though with them. Going into a stalk she followed the scent.

Swirlfall

They haven't got enough have they?! Hissssss! It makes me so angry! If they lay a paw on Echostar,...fshhkk! I'll make the- he stopped talking as he heard a Rouges voice and his leaders voice. But there was no hostility in this Rouges voice. Just a little bit of hesitation...
