Then, Markstar saw a small golden tabby she-cat slip into the camp. He leaped up and raced outside. He heard a snarl, and then saw Bluegaze wrestling with the she-cat. He soon had her pinned down, gripping her strongly. The she-cat seemed amazed at how a blind cat could fight that well. Markstar saw Bluegaze smirk slightly. Markstar padded over to the intruder. He growled lightly as he reached Bluegaze.
"Who are you? And why are you on my territory?!"
The she-cat glared at Bluegaze who still had her strongly pinned down.
"I come to mean no harm. I am a leader of a clan myself."
Markstar narrowed his eyes.
"Whatever clan you're from you should learn to respect other clan's borders. Just because you're a leader doesn't mean you can come strutting into my camp! You wait by the border, and wait for a patrol!"
Markstar growled.
"That should have been one of the first things you learned as an apprentice! You don't have any special rights on another clan's territory! No right to come walking in."
The she-cat didn't respond.
"What do you want! I have a clan to protect, and I have other things to do then talk to a leader who can't respect another clan's territory."
Markstar growled. BlackClan could attack any time, especially since the weather was getting colder, and they still hadn't gotten back Mossypaw and Sunnypaw. Finally the leader talked, though she seemed slightly annoyed because Bluegaze still hadn't let her up.
"I am Wattlestar of ShimmeringClan. I have come on behalf of my clan to ask for your alliance. Your clan is brave and strong, as my clan is new."
Markstar smirked, though his tail twitched angrily.
"Is that the only reason you want an alliance with LakeClan? Because we have numbers? If you were ever attacked, you could easily get a lot of my warriors and defeat your enemy. It seems more like using then an alliance. Because we couldn't use your help if we were in trouble, because would you even come? Since your clan is small you can't risk to let your cats get hurt."
Wattlestar shook her head.
"No! I want this alliance to be fair. I will help you if you ask for help, and I would like to think you would do the same."
Markstar swept his tail side to side, still angry at the ignorance of this leader.
"Bluegaze, let her up."
The blind warrior nodded, and let Wattlestar up off the ground. She gave her chest a few quick licks, before looking at Markstar. Markstar was larger then Wattlestar, and he looked down at her.
"Why should I accept your alliance when you have been ignorant on our first meeting?"
Wattlestar sighed.
"Because alliances are always good to have."
Markstar tilted his head.
"LakeClan has many alliances already. But I shall think about it. I shall send Bluegaze, Frostysky and Grayshadow to your clan when I decide."
Markstar flicked his tail at the three warriors, and Wattlestar dipped her head to the other leader.
"Thank-you Markstar."
Markstar nodded and continued.
"Bluegaze. Please escort Wattlestar out of our territory, and make sure she gets to our border safely."
Markstar flashed a glance at Wattlestar before going to sit beside Strongspirit. Bluegaze nodded and padded out of the camp, with the leader of ShimmeringClan following.

Strongspirit licked his shoulder "You handled that well," she mewed. She smiled, proud.
~-~Strongspirit~-~
Wattlestar chuckled as she left, she knew she could have beaten Bluegaze easily but she had to fake ignorance and weakness so her offer would be accepted.She waked her tail in farewell as a glimmer of respect for Markstar appeared in her and she wonders if he knew she was faking weakness.
(thanks. Although could you have made her a little less stupid in the post?)
(I didn't make her stupid... And Bluegaze is like, the best fighter in the clan... so she wouldn't have beaten him easily....)
(I made Markstar be defensive, that's all. He has a mate who is expecting kits, so of course he's gonna be defensive. :) )
*fallenstrike sat back on his haunches and flexed his front claws. HE shoved himself up and padded to sit beside Markstar. He leaned over and whispered in his leaders ear*
It would be wise to make another Alliance. Wattlestar seems like a strong, wise she-cat, however ignorant she may have been.
*he added quickly when Markstar snorted in annoyance. He dipped his head to his leader and scotted a little to the side so other cats could come to him with helpful advice.*
~!Fallenstrike!~
IN BLACKCLAN...
*Fierystar yawned lazily and stretched his legs, and padded over to Sunnypaw and Mossypaw. He had recently let them sleep in the apprentices den, with some prompting from his son, but two guards were posted at the front, and one at the back to prevent them from escaping. HE poked his head inside and called for them. When they came out, he stared at them with his fiery red eyes.*
Sunnypaw, Mossypaw, I have realized, that neither of you have tried to escape BlackClan, even when i let you roam in the forest with a patrol of my warriors. I have not seen your brother, but i am sure he is a warrior by now, and so you will be.
*he yowled and leaped on top of a dead, lopsided tree in the clearing. soon BlackClan cats were shuffling around, murmuring, while Sunnypaw and Mossypaw sat in the middle, a small space opened for them.*
I am Fierystar, Leader of BlackClan. I stand before you to give these apprentices Warrior names.
Sunnypaw, you will now be known as Sunnyblade. We honor your courage and ambition.
Mossypaw, you will be known as Mossy____. We honor your determination and unwavering patience.
~!Fierystar!~
(Hey Dream and Dawny, i didnt wanna wait lol. Dream, if you dont like the name, just tell me and give me the name you want, and Dawn, just give me the name ya want :D))
I guess so but Wattlestar has the advantage of having 8lives skill of a leader and sight. ;)
(Did I already say Bluegaze was the best fighter out of 300 cats? Huh. Thought I did. You obviously don't know Bluegaze if you think Wattlestar has an advantage cause she can "see". Bluegaze is in a prophecy, and if you follow along a bit, everyone will find out more. Cause the prophecy is ending soon. But, let's just say, he CAN see, but in a special way...
Also, no cat has ever beaten Bluegaze. No one.)
All the same you can't be made leader if you aren't strong enough and all I am saying is that she could be a match for Bluegaze, I am not trying to make my cat more powerful, I am saying that in a realistic (if that is even remotely possible) Wattlestar would be a good (if not more) of a match for Bluegaze.
And because I don't want a fight how about we call it even in saying that we shall never really know what would have happened and hopefully never will because now we are allies.
( I NEVER said we were allies yet. Markstar said he would think about it. I have absolutely NO idea where you got the idea we were allies yet.
And just saying, no one is a match for Bluegaze. That's sort of final, cause he hasn't ever been beat, not even by other leaders. Bluegaze can dodge every move any cat makes. So he can't ever be beat.)
( Uh, YEah. Bluegaze probably would've beaten FIERYSTAR, who is like, the best BlackClan Fighter out of all of BlackClan.(not including Icy) IF anyone is even CLOSE to a match for Bluegaze, Its Icycurrent oif Fierystar. No fennce. ment to nobody.)
(Heyy What About Birchy and Icy ;) )
Birchstorm padded into the nursery, dropping a plaump vole in front of Blossomspirit and licked her cheek "Do you want to see if the kits are old enough to eat fresh-kill?"
~-~Birchy~-~
Fleckedkit smiled at his mom and dad "Ohh! Whats fresh-kill?"
~-~Fleckedkit~-~
Strongspirit was laying in the sun when pain shot through her stomach. She winced panting. "M-markstar,"
~-~Strongspirit~-~
*Markstar twitched his ears and looked at Strongspirit, his eyes clouding with worry.*
Are you okay?
:~~Markstar:
"Kits..." Strongspirit gasped a contraction making her whimper
~-~Strongspirit~-~
*Markstar's eyes widened, and he nodded.*
Come on, we should try to make it to the medicine cat's den or the Nursery. Do you think you can?
:~~Markstar:
Strongspirit nodded, getting up and leaning against him
~-~Strongspirit~-~
*Markstar padded slowly to the medicine cat's den, where he could already see the three medicine cat's sorting herbs.*
:~~Markstar:
*Ridgepaw looked up from the herbs he was sniffing, getting rid of the old ones, and poked Nestflame with his paw.*
I think Strongspirit may be having her kits.
:~~Ridgepaw:
Nestflame was up in a second "Alright, you get the borage, Rosedawn and I will help Strongspirit in," he padded outside, helping Strongspirit into a nest
~-~Nestflame~-~
Strongspirit wimpered again, "I-i think the first kit-" she stopped short, gritting her teeth she pushed and a small kit came
~-~Stronespirt~-~
*Markstar licked her head.*
You're doing great.
*His heart was pounding. Will she be be okay!?*
:~~Markstar:
Strongspirit smiled weakly, but it didn't last long. She whimpered as the second kit came. She winced "Hurts..." she gasped
~-~Strongspirit~-~
*Ridgepaw nodded, and grabbed some borage, and also some rasberry leaves.*
Here, eat these.
:~~Ridgepaw:
*Markstar licked her head.*
It'll be better soon.
:~~Markstar:
Strongspirit ate the herbs then closed her eyes, clenching her teeth the next kit came, soon followed by another.
~-~Strongspirit~-~
.
*Markstar closed his eyes.*
How many more kits?
:~~Markstar:
Nestflame sighed "One more, I think,"
~-~Nestflame~-~
Strongspirit pushed again, the last kit coming out. Her body relaxed and she closed her eyes, breathing hard.
~-~Strongspirit-~
*Markstar smiled and purred.*
You did great.
*He looked at the 5 little kits and smiled. He stiffened slightly when he smelled a familiar scent. Then he heard a voice.*
I promised you she would be fine, and she is....
*Markstar smiled as the scent faded, and he licked Strongspirit's cheek.*
:~~Markstar:
Strongspirit lifted her head and licked his cheek "They are beautiful," her eyes fell upon a silver tabby she-kit "Can she be Silhouettekit?"
~-~Strongspirit~-~
*Markstar nodded, and he looked at a small she-cat that looked like Strongspirit.*
Wanderkit?
:~~Markstar:
Strongspirit licked his nose "Thats perfect Markstar,"
~-Strongspirit~-~
*Markstar nodded.*
What about the others?
:~~Markstar:
Strongspirit smiled at a ginger tom "Blazedkit," then at a gray tom "Shatteredkit, you name the last one,"
~-~Strongspirit~-~
(Heyy Breeze, not to be pushy or anything but can Yellowpaw be a warrior soon? He's been an apprentice 4 a while u don't have to :D :D )
(Mossyclaw i guess)
Mossyclaw sighed, and padded over to Yellowpaw.
"You should be a warrior soon enough." Mossyclaw meowed.
<>*Mossyclaw*<>
Yellowpaw sighed and nodded "Yea, I sure hope so," he mewed looking into the distance.
~-~Yelloepaw~-~
(and Darkeningpaw!)
Featherstorm padded out of the warriors den wearily. She had heard the ceremony earlier, but really felt too sick to get up and come watch. Now what she heard as she padded towards the medicine cat den was Strongspirit and Markstar naming their kits.
Maybe... no... maybe... She was contemplating the idea of her expecting kits. After how she had felt the past couple of days...
Featherstorm sighed. I wonder if Eaglefrost will be O.K with this? She settled down in a patch of sunlight and waited for them to pad out so she could tell Markstar the news and move into the nursery. She knew Eaglefrost had gone hunting, so she wasn't worried very much. But... something did seem to be nagging at her, even though she couldn't think of what it was.
((I didn't really want Eaglefrost anymore, so I killed him off just now. Check the hunting patrol page))
((And she's going to have two kits, Mo(u)rningkit, and Shiningkit. Everyone thinks it's Morningkit, but she knows in her mind that it's MoUrningkit, for her mourning Eaglefrost))
Stormwater padded in, leading his patrol of Blackstripe and Willowmoon, prey in their mouthes. He looked after Wattlestar being led by Bluegaze out of camp, a glimmer of confusion in his eys, but said nothing.
