*Dreamstar nodded and padded to the entrance of the camp, remembering that tonight she would find out Ripplestar's answer.*

New Joiner???

*A lone cat pads through the forest, towards the LakeClan camp. Her tail was dragging, and blood matted her fur. She sniffed the air and looked around. She smiled lightly and padded around the camp walls until she smelled the scent of Dreamstar. She hissed lightly, and soon heard stirring. She then saw a figure walk out of the camp and look around, fur bristling. The she-cat bounded over to Dreamstar. Dreamstar looked at the she-cat and gasped.*

Eaglestar?? What are you doing here??

*Eaglestar shook her head.*

Please do not call me that retched name. I am Eaglestar no more. Call me Eagleheart, please.

*Dreamstar shook her head in disbelief*

What happened, Eagleheart. Why are you here, and why do you want me to call you that?

*Eagleheart sighed.*

My deputy, Thornsky...he thought I was becoming soft...he drove me out and gave me scars to remember him by. He's now Thornstar, and he is going to attack LakeClan soon. With...Cinderstorm. Please call me Eagleheart. I wish to rejoin LakeClan.

*Dreamstar's eyes widened then softened as Eagleheart asked. Dreamstar hung her head and shook her head with disbelief. Eagleheart sighed.*

Can you ever forgive me?

*Dreamstar looked back up at Eagleheart.*

Of course Eagleheart. Of course. I can't stay mad. Yes, I am upset. But I can't stay mad.

*Dreamstar purred and licked Eagleheart's cheek.*

Come. We must introduce you to my clan.

*Eagleheart purred and bounded in after Dreamstar.*

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

*Dreamstar limped to the bottom of the LakeRock. Eagleheart looked around and sighed with enjoyment.*

All cats old enough to catch their own prey gather here under the LakeRock for a clan meeting!

*The LakeClan cats came out of their dens and bristled as they saw Eagleheart.*

You all may know this cat as Eaglestar! But she is not Eaglestar! She is Eagleheart! The once loyal warrior of LakeClan! We were friends, before I became deputy.

*Dreamstar shot a look at Eagleheart to see her looking around, with sorrowful eyes.*

Then it all went bad. But she was driven from her clan! She has wished to rejoin, and I have allowed her! She has warned me that BlackClan, with their new leader, Thornstar, is planning an attack! Thornstar is very ambitious and blood thirsty!

*The LakeClan cats murmered with each other.*

I have also noticed that our camp is getting really small! We need to re-size the camp and make it bigger! We shall start on that, and as we do that, we shall strengthen the camp walls and dens! Everything shall be stronger and bigger!

*Dreamstar nodded, but continued*

Now, a few more things before we get started. Of course Eagleheart will have to prove her loyalty again. Though I trust her, she has done many bad things to break that trust. I want a warrior with her at all times. And if she fights with BlackClan when they attack, she will be driven away.

*Dreamstar looked at Eagleheart, almost saying sorry right there. Eagleheart only nodded acceptance.*

Now, I want Rowanthorn to get some extra patrols going! We need to patrol our borders more frequently! And we need more hunting patrols if we want to be in shape when we are attacked! Stormwater shall help Rowanthorn with the patrols, but mostly he shall organize the re-doing of this camp.

Also, Silverfang and Soaringheart have gone missing! I do not know if BlackClan has taken them, but we can not be sure. We have no medicine cats at the time, so until we get a proper medicine cat, Jayflight shall be stepping in. He knows all herbs, since he wanted to be a medicine cat, but wasn't able too. He shall help out and mentor whatever kit shall be medicine cat apprentice!

*Dreamstar nodded a dismissal*

That is all!

*Dreamstar limped away, talking to Eagleheart.*

Foxstar-who plays Showshine, Missingfoot(old prophecy cat),  Robinfeather, Foxspirit, Eaglefrost, Featherstorm, Moonkit, and Thornkit  has quit blogger! :(

Shinestar-who plays Shinerain(old prophecy cat/old deputy), Treebreeze, Duneclaw, Streamfrost, and Lilyfeather has quit blogger! :(

Brightstar-leader of SmokeClan, and who plays Brightfire and Specklefrost has also quit blogger.

If anyone would like to play these cats, they can! Oh, and just to tell you, no one will be allowed to play Shinerain and Treebreeze. I...just can't stand to see anyone playing Shinerain. She was so awesome. But Shinerain and Treebreeze shall become elders. :( Only someone who comes on often may play can play a prophecy cat!! Also, Missingfoot shall no longer be in the prophecy! Here are the prophecy cats-

Sorrelpaw(Played by Silverleaf), Smokesky(Played by Honeystream), Driftbreeze(played by Miranda/Froststar), Grayshadow(Played by Me)

There are supposed to be two more cats. But the two new cats have to come on very often. And I mean often! If you already play a cat in this prophecy, you can't play anymore.

So, please comment below if you would like to play any of these cats. And remember, you have to come on at least once a week to be in the prophecy. If you can't come on, and you're a prophecy cat, please tell me.

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

For the medicine cat, please, you have to come on at least twice a week, and always check the med. den. It must be a kit, so if you want to be med. cat apprentice, and will promise to come on often, then you may tell me under here and I shall monitor how often you come on. :) Oh, and if you come on often, and would like to be a prophecy cat and medicine cat apprentice, then you can! =D

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

Update, Mossheart wants her kit, Flamekit, to be a medicine cat. I shall monitor him, and if anyone else wants to, comment under here! And remember, there are two spots open for the prophecy! If Mossheart wants to be in the prophecy also, she can. :)

THIS WAS ACTUALLY MY 200th POST! SO......BIG ACHIEVEMENT!!!!

Life Ends, Life Starts

 (OH! AND THIS IS MY 200th POST! =D YAY!!!!! NEXT POST I'LL HAVE IT IN STORY MODE!!!! =D)

*Dreamstar limped to the bottom of the Lake Rock. This time Jayflight was helping her. Jayflight yowled out.*

Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather here beneath the Lake Rock for a clan meeting!

*The clan came out, all cats were still skinny, but it had suddenly warmed up a little bit. So they prey was starting to come back. But the whole clan could sense that it wouldn't last. Dreamstar spoke up, though her voice was weak, so Jayflight had to say it again.*

Dreamstar can not speak, because she has suddenly caught white-cough. But Snowshine is stepping down from being Medicine Cat! She has found love, and does not want to break the warrior code!

*Dreamstar rolled her eyes at Jayflight's first sentence, and told him what to say again.*

Now, a new medicine cat apprentice is needed! But one is not needed right away! Only a kit that truly wants to can!

*Dreamstar nodded, and told him some more.*

That is all Dreamstar had to say! This clan meeting is over!

New Deputy and Head Warrior, and Senoir Warrior

*Dreamstar stumbled out and sat beneath the LakeRock.*

Let all cats old enough to*cough* hunt for themselves gather here under the lake Rock for a clan meeting!

*Cats padded out of their dens, happy, but hesitant to see that Dreamstar was feeling a bit better. Dreamstar nodded*

As some of you know, Ripplestar has gone back to his clan. But at the next gathering, he is going to be give a choice. I think he should stay in his own clan. But he wants to be here....so I made him think it through first.

*The LakeClan cats narrowed their eyes but nodded.*

Now, Shinerain shall be stepping down as deputy.

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 LakeClan is Rowanthorn!!!


Rowanthorn! Rowanthorn! Rowanthorn!

Rowanthorn is brave and deserves this spot!

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

Now, since Rowanthorn was head warrior, we need a new head warrior!

Stormwater, you shall be the new head warrior!

Stormwater! Stormwater! Stormwater!

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

*Dreamstar nodded, but her voice was running out. Her head dropped lower.*

Also, Cloverpond shall be made a senior warrior today. She shall become head warrior if anything happens to Stormwater.

Cloverpond! Cloverpond! Cloverpond!

That is all.

*Dreamstar sighed and rested her head on her paws in front of the rock.*

(PLEASE READ:

I have just found out that Shinerain, our old deputy, has quit blogging... :( She quit a month ago....and she never even told me..or anyone really....All of her cats will be made into elders. Rowanthorn will be the forever deputy unless he doesn't want to. This has really shocked me, because she used to be my most frequent commenter....now...other people will be. But...we were sort of friends....I'll miss her but I guess LakeClan shall move on...)

New Warriors and Apprentices

*Dreamstar stumbles out of the nursery, Ripplestar following. Dreamstar stopped and waited by the nursery as Ripplestar bounded on to the Lake Rock.*

Cats of Lakeclan! All those old enough to catch their own prey gather here for a clan meeting!

*Cats padded out of their dens suspiciously as Ripplestar called them out.*

I shall be saying the ceremonies as Dreamstar is too hurt! But she shall give you your names!

*Ripplestar nodded to Dreamstar as a few cats helped her come over and stand beneath the rock. She was skinnier then ever. Her legs could barely support her, and she was just, overall, in poor condition. cats started to murmur worriedly, but were soon silenced by a flick of Dreamstar's tail.*

I, Ripplestar, stand in leader of LakeClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down upon these apprentices. They have trained hard to learn the ways of you noble code, and I give
them to you as warriors in turn.

Lightpaw, Archpaw, Hailpaw and Runningpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and protect and defend your clan even at the cost of your life? [ says I do]
Then by the powers of StarClan I grant you your warrior names!

 *Ripplestar signaled for Dreamstar to continue. Dreamstar coughed and yelled out as loud as she could.*

Archpaw, from this moment you shall be known as Archwhisper. StarClan honors your passion!

Runningpaw, from this moment you shall be known as Runningdusk. StarClan honors your stealth!

Hailpaw, from this moment you shall be known as Hailshadow. StarClan honors your love!

Lightpaw, from this moment you shall be known as Lightblaze. StarClan honors your loyalty!

*Dreamstar nodded and the clan started to cheer the new warrior's names.*

Lightblaze! Hailshadow! Archwhisper! Runningdusk!

*Ripplestar spoke back up.*

By naming apprentices we show that LakeClan will survive and remain strong. Stormkit, Sorrelkit and Fellkit, until you have received you warrior names, you will be known as Sorrelpaw, Stormpaw, and Fellpaw

Stormwater, Grayshadow, and Dewsplash please step forward. Let you all teach your apprentice well!

*Dreamstar spoke up and announced the new apprentices.*

Stormwater you shall mentor Fellpaw. Teach him your bravery. [Stormwater and Fellpaw touch noses]

Grayshadow you shall mentor Sorrelpaw. Teach her your gentleness. [Grayshadow and Sorrelpaw touch noses]

Dewsplash you shall mentor Stormpaw. Teach him your skills. [Dewsplash and Stormpawpaw touch noses.]

Stormpaw! Fellpaw! Sorrelpaw!

*Ripplestar and Dreamstar nodded. Ripplestar leaped down and sat by Dreamstar. They whispered to each other.*

Ripplestar...please go back to your clan and think over your choice. Next gathering we will see what is best...please...just truly think it over and lead your clan to the best of your ability. You have been here for 11 suns...your clan needs you. You can go back tomorrow.

*Ripplestar sighed and nodded. Not saying anything else, because he knew Dreamstar had made up her mind.*

Gathering News

*The gathering party padded back in. Weary and sore, and covered in blood.The lakeClan cats who stayed back murmured to each other. Then, at the back of the group came Dreamstar, her body crushed and Ripplestar and Snowshime carrying her. Soaringheart narrowed his eyes at Ripplestar and padded to the back of the crowd as everyone surrounded the injured cats. Ripplestar put Dreamstar doen gently and turned to explain what had happened to the LakeClan cats.*

Half way through the gathering, the lynx's that attacked your clan, attacked the whole gathering! I was told that there was more then double there, then what was here, maybe triple!

*Gasps were heard around the clearing.*

We were viciously attacked! Many cats died last night! Some went to different clan to be with the ones they loved...many things happened! But luckily none of the LakeClan cats there were killed, except Dreamstar. She was crushed by a lynx's paw. I do not know how many lives she has lost...but she wasn't breathing for almost the whole battle! She is very hurt, and we were not able to move her last night, so we waited until morning.

*Then a yowl was heard from the crowd.*

Why didn't you go back with your own clan! You had no need to wait!

*Ripplestar sighed.*

I do have a need...I love Dreamstar, and I can't let her go.

*Growls were heard through the clan.*

I would wish to join LakeClan.

*All the cats jumped up and snarled. All claws were unsheathed as they heard the other leader's wish's.*

Never! You have a clan of your own!

*Ripplestar closed his eyes and let a snarl loose.*

Stop it Soaringheart! Just stop! I don't care if you hate me for being mates with Dreamstar! I really don't care! I just don't know why you can't get over it! Is it because I'm from a different clan! Or that you helped her through her depression! I don't know what it is but it has to stop! More then one cat can love her! And she can love anybody she wants to! I don't force her to love me! I really don't!

*Soaringheart snarled and leaped from the crowd onto Ripplestar. Ripplestar tumbled backwards and ripped into Soaringheart's shoulder as Soaringheart struggled to find Ripplestar's neck. Dreamstar looked up to them fighting. She tired to move, but she couldn't.

Soaringheart snarled into Ripplestar's face and raked his claws down his face. Ripplestar winced, but was able to roll and get on top of Soaringheart. Ripplestar dug his claws into Soaringheart's shoulders and raked his belly with his hind claws. Soaringheart yowled and pushed Ripplestar off. Ripplestar struggled to get up, but Soaringheart launched himself onto Ripplestar, trying to grip the throat in between his teeth. Then, Soaringheart was thrown off by another cat, that started to yowl as soon as they hit the ground. Soaringheart stood back up and turned to face whoever had pushed him off. Soaringheart snarled, then stopped to see Dreamstar, yowling and whimpering on the ground, looking at him with pleading eyes to stop. Soaringheart breathed in an out, then walked away, catching one last glimpse to see Silverfang and Ripplestar rushing to Dreamstar's side. Soaringheart felt the burning stares pierce his pelt. Soaringheart closed his eyes, and ran blindly out of the camp.*

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

Next post will be some apprentice and warrior ceremonies! Also, under this post, comment on some cats you think come on a lot and will make a good deputy! Shinerain doesn't come on anymore, and I commented on her clan 5 days ago. Saying that if she didn't comment here in 4 days, I will find a new deputy. I will let you comment for 5 days, then I will put a poll up and you will then vote on the nex deputy! But remember, then next deputy has to come on at least once a week! If you can't come on for a while, tell me so I know!
