The Beggining of the End...

*Dreamstar padded back in smiling. She saw that other clans were helping, and only a few giant cats were left, including the leader. Dreamstar narrowed her eyes then ran and talked to a handful have cats. They all nodded and followed her out.*

:~~Dreamstar:

*A yowl screeched through the air as the big tom, who was the leader, fell to the ground. His paw had suddenly snapped in two, and his back legs were destroyed. He writhed on the ground in pain, as a brown and black tabby apprentice padded up and stood in front of his face. The apprentice smiled and then, the leader yowled as his throat started to bleed. His eyes were wide with pain, as the life slowly seeped out of him. The apprentice stood in front of him, eyes glowing, as he watched this battle be finished. The leader's eyes flickered open and shut, and the last thing he saw was the black and brown tabby, and another light gray/blue apprentice padded up behind him...*

Fallownose
Bluepaw
Everpaw
Lightpaw
Duskpaw

That is all.)

Chances?

*Dreamstar stopped and looked back at Sunleaf*

Great Sunleaf, but right now, I don't need sympathy. I need to rest, you don't know how close I am to losing a life, just because of my stress and worries. I have grown sick, am probably the hungriest cat here, and right now I just need some rest...

*Dreamstar padded out of the camp, with her tail dragging, just as Fallownose ran in with DrizzleClan following. Dreamstar ignored the cats and padded away, hoping to find relief by the river.*

:~~Dreamstar:

------------------------------------------------------

*Fallownose stopped and yowled*

We have chances of winning now! Fight to win, to live and to see the sunset!

*She yowled a battle cry and hurled herself at a giant cat*

:~~Fallownose:

Help

*Everpaw panted and sat down. She couldn't believe that this was all happening! Everpaw snarled lightly, and got up again. She wanted to end this all, but there was no way she could. It was stuck with her, and she was stuck with it. Everpaw stopped dead in her tracks as she saw an unknown cat wandering on the border of MarshClan and LakeClan. But the cat was following the river, where clans without any water in their territory, was allowed to follow. Everpaw narrowed her eyes. She walked up to the edge of LakeClan's territory and mewed a greeting to the cat on the other side.

The cat's head whipped around and the cat, who looked like a tom, looked her.*

Are you new here? Cause if you didn't know, as long as you stay, about the distance you are, to the water, you're fine and aren't entering other clans territories!

*Everpaw smiled ever slow slightly and waited for the tom to respond.*

Y-ya. My clan is new here. I was just exploring since there was nothing better to do... Why? Is there something I could do for you?

*The brown tom sat down at the other side of the river and tilted his head at Everpaw. Everpaw started to shake her head, when she remembered what was happening back in camp. Everpaw's eyes brightened and she nodded until her neck hurt.*

Actually! There is! Can you get help from your clan? My clan is being...

*Everpaw stopped talking at how dangerous it could be to reveal a weakness to another clan.*

Actually...can I just speak to your leader? I think that would be better...

*The tom nodded*

I know, don't want to tell any old warrior about something this is mort suited for a leader to hear of.

*Everpaw smiled*

Okay, can I just go get a warrior to accompany me, cause I'm only an apprentice...Oh, and by the way my name's Everpaw. Everpaw, apprentice of Dreamstar, of LakeClan

*Everpaw lifted her head proudly and smiled. The tom dipped his head*

I am Beewhisker, Head Warrior of DrizzleClan.

*Everpaw rolled her eyes. Great, he's also a head warrior. Everpaw nodded.*

I'll be right back, so please just wait there!

-----------------------------------------------------------

*Everpaw came back to the river, after quite some time, with the only warrior she was able to pull out of the battle long enough to explain. Fallownose had agreed to come, and they quickly fled to the river. Beewhisker was still waiting, and didn't ask any questions when he saw that Fallownose was injured. They introduced each other, then Beewhisker led Everpaw and Fallownose back to the DrizzleClan camp.*

~~Everpaw, Fallownose

A Lying Heart

Everpaw stood in the entrance of the camp. She couldn't that this was happening! It shouldn't be happening! Everpaw snarled and looked around until she spotted Bluepaw, in the apprentices den, looking around with his sightless eyes, trying to figure out where the danger was. Everpaw rolled her eyes and ran over there, dodging cats as she went.

When she got to Bluepaw, she saw Bluepaw stiffen and cower.

"Did you say something? To anyone!!"

Bluepaw shook his head and tried to pin-point the waves of anger he felt coming off of Everpaw.

"I-i didn't say a word. This is different, if this brings the end...then it is not supposed to be the way it should be....But I believe that we'll survive this."

Everpaw growled at Bluepaw and slunk away. She didn't like being here, she didn't want to see what would happen, so she fled into the forest....trying to find a way out....

~~Everpaw

--------------------------------------------------------

Bluepaw relaxed instantly as he felt Everpaw's presence flee him. He let out a sigh, and crept farther back into the den. Bluepaw turned around and lifted his paw, with claws unsheathed, to the wall of the den. He ripped into the wall, and kept on digging. When he was half way done a big enough hole, he ran out of the den and crept along the sides of the camp, until he recognized the sweet smell of the nursery. Bluepaw's nose quivered at the familiar scents;those of milk and security. Bluepaw shook his head to clear away his thoughts, and padded in. Only to bump into a large pelt. Bluepaw's fur instantly went on end, as he heard a low growl, and felt a big movement of air rushing through the den. Bluepaw was about to step back, when he was flung against the wall of the den, by a hefty paw. Bluepaw gasped and quickly regained himself. He jumped out of the way before the smashing paw could kill him. Bluepaw growled, titled his ears forward, closed his eyes, and crouched down. he could almost see the big cat that was looming above him, with a raised paw, ready to crush his small frame. Bluepaw smirked, and sprang to the side right as the massive paw slammed down on where he was just sitting. Bluepaw snarled and leaped at the cat. He landed on the cats back and bit down, hard, on the cats neck. Bluepaw growled, then leaped off and ran out of the den. But before he left he caught scent of the forest, and realized that the queens were already gone...except for one....

~~Bluepaw

--------------------------------------------

Dreamstar limped up the Lakerock, and went into the small hollow space in it. She curled up and looked at herself. There were long scratch marks over her body, and she was in no condition to keep fighting. She couldn't lose another life. Not yet. Dreamstar took in a painful breath of air and closed her eyes, trying to imagine what it could be like....if Ripplestar was really here. Dreamstar smiled as she thought of him protecting her with his own life. She sighed and curled into a tighter ball. Causing herself pain by stretching her cuts. She listened to the battle below, and felt like she was abandoning her clan by being up here. But before she could move, she was pulled into a restless sleep....

Unusual Ceremony

*Dreamstar limped into the entrance of the camp, tail dragging, with Everpaw following. Dreamstar went around the side of the camp, to miss not being hurt. She jumped onto the highest point in the LakeRock, and yowled.*

They would not help! We are doing this by ourselves! If you can't not fight anymore, run to the elder's den, nursery or medicine cat's den! You will find help there! I know this is not an official ceremony, but these three deserve it!

*Dreamstar looked around for the three apprentices, she spotted them all fighting off a very large female, while protecting Fellkit who had been badly wounded. Dreamstar's eyes widened in horror as she saw her kit, but she shook her head and yowled as loud ass she could.*

Hazelpaw, Smokepaw and Larkpaw! You have proved yourselves worthy by risking your lives to save others in your clan! You are seen as warrior's in StarClan's eyes, and that's what you will be!

Hazelpaw, your warrior name shall be Hazelstream!
Smokepaw, your warrior name shall be Smokesky!
Larkpaw, your warrior name will be Larkflight!

You now are full warriors of LakeClan! We will have another proper ceremony after we flee, or win! Continue fighting for your clan and lives! We shall stay here! This is our home!

*Dreamstar leaped down and ran as fast as she could to Hazelstream's, Smokesky's and Larkflight's side. She grabbed Fellkit just in time as a large paw came down on the spot he was just in. Dreamstar nodded the the three new warriors, gratefully and reflected their gratitude. Dreamstar ran into the nursery with badly hurt Fellkit.*

(continue fighting underneath this post)

Gathering and Attack

*Dreamstar quickly limped up the Lake Rock. She watched as her clan battled for their lives, family and home against the much larger and stronger cats. The gathering was tonight(I know, late post but I was BUSY), but no cat would be going.*

Cats of LakeClan! Continue what you are doing! No one shall be going to the gathering, except me and Everpaw! I shall be back shortly, hopefully with help!

*Dreamstar nodded then half ran/half limped out of the camp with Everpaw following.*
