Welcomed

*Coastpebble sighed in relief. She flicked her tail towards the entrance.*

Let's go in...

*She looked ta Prairiefall, and he nodded, totally oblivious of Storm's presence. They padded through the narrow entrance, with Storm grumbling. The first thing Coastpebble saw as she walked in, was Dreamstar and another tom grooming each other under the LakeRock. There many, many cats. Coastpebble saw Dreamstar's eyes flick up, and widen.*

:~~Coastpebble:

*Dreamstar stared at the three cats that just came in the entrance, but focused on two in particular. She looked up and down a brown and silver tabby she-cat. Her eyes were wide and amber. Dreamstar looked at the tom. He was a sleek silver tabby. She slowly stood up.*

Coastpebble.... Prairiefall.... you're.... you're back!

*Dreamstar took a step forward, and Coastpebble and Prairiefall dipped their head to their leader.*

:~~Dreamstar:

*Prairiefall's eyes glittered. He hadn't seen Dreamstar in so long, and now he was back with his clan. Though, most of the cats he didn't recognize or know, he was happy. He searched the crowd for Soaringheart, but couldn't see him. Then he growled at one face. Eagleheart. He scowled at her, then looked at Dreamstar again.*

Dreamstar.... you look wonderful.

*Dreamstar smiled, then looked over her shoulder at Rippleblaze.*

This.... this is my mate. Rippleblaze. Then our son, Fellwave. And some of the newest members, Rainingkit, Fleck-kit and Mark-kit. Mine and Rippleblaze's kits....

*Prairiefall flinched at Fleck-kit's name, for he had most likely been named after fleckwater. Prairiefall nodded though.*

What happened to Soaringheart? And why is she here.

*Prairefall stuck his nose in the direction of Eagleheart is disgust. dreamstar sighed.*

Soaringheart... we don't know what happened to him. He left. That's all I know. And my friend is here, because she has rejoined. She has admitted she was wrong. She is truly sorry. She is proving herself by being loyal. Who's that?

*Dreamstar looked at the tom behind Coastpebble.*

:~~Dreamstar:

*Coastpebble's belly wrenched at the mention on Storm. Why did she feel this way? Her belly felt heavier, and heavier as she explained about Storm. She felt small, and embarrassed, but talked about him until she finished with the last part of his story. Dreamstar nodded.*

Do you wish to re-join the clan?

*Coastpebble looked at Prairiefall, his eyes shining. Coastpebble nodded.*

it would be our honour Dreamstar.

*Coastpebble dipped her head. Dreamstar then looked to Storm.*

Do you, Storm, wish to join also?

*Storm faltered a bit, and looked taken aback at the offer. He thought for a moment, then slowly nodded his head.*

Why not. I have no where else to go.... but may I also... receive a warrior name? I would feel like I fit in better if I had one...

*Dreamstar smiled, and nodded. Coastpebble watched as dreamstar leaped onto the LakeRock.*

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

*Coastpebble shuddered excitedly at the familiar words. She padded forward. She knew Dreamstar would welcome them back, so she padded to the front of the gathering crowd.*

Many of you may not remember Prairiefall and Coastpebble, but they used to be in LakeClan! Then, when BlackClan first attacked, the clan ran. Many never made their way back, and we hope they are safe. But finally, Coastpebble and Prairiefall are back! I wish to welcome them back into our clan!, As many of you know, Eagleheart had no idea what she would cause by attacking us, and she is very sorry. Now, Coastpebble and Prairiefall also brought along a friend, Storm. He wishes to join, and get a warrior name. Since he is old enough to be a warrior, that is what he shall be! He has been told of StarClan, and he believes in our beliefs. Let StarClan accept him!

Spirits of StarClan, you know every cat by name. I ask you now to take away the name from the cat you see before you, for it no longer stands for what he is. By my authority as clan leader, and with the approval of our warrior ancestors, I give this cat a new name. From this moment on he will be known as Stormbreak, for he has accepted the duties of clan life!

*Dreamstar jumped off the rock, and rested her chin on Stormbreak's shoulder. Stormbreak thought for a moment, trying to remember what Coastpebble told him about clan life. Then he quickly licked Dreamstar's shoulder. Dreamstar stepped back.*

Prairiefall! Coastpebble! Stormbreak!

:~~Coastpebble:

Coastpebble--

Prairiefall--

Stormbreak--

The Coming

**First, before I start this post, I want to alarm all cats in my 7-cat-prophecy! The prophecy SHALL be deleted! BUT, I am gonna make a new one, but with the same cats. This prophecy sort of..... went no where. :/ So just telling ya. But it probably won't be until after the second battle with LakeClan. Which will be when Birchkit, who was taken by BlackClan is a warrior in BlackClan! So.... I'm hoping around the end of June. :) So be ready! I have a GREAT prophecy/poem person to help me out, and I think she knows who she is. *winks* So, well, that is all! Now to the POST!**

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

*Prairiefall growled and clawed a fern that flung back into his face. He was getting annoyed. They had thought they were close to LakeClan, and they were. But they kept on going in circles! He needed to see more cats. To know he wasn't alone. Ya, he had Coastpebble, and the newcomer, Storm. But they weren't the same. He needed to feel like he had a job again: he needed to feel wanted. He could smell LakeClan on the wind. This made him more frustrated. It was like they were taunting him! Prairiefall clawed at the ground, and snarled, then stopped when he felt a tail touch his shoulder. he looked up to see Coastpebble standing over him, with Storm close to her side. He snarled at Storm. Coastpebble and Storm had taken an immediate interest with each other, and stuck to each others side. Coastpebble rarely, if ever, was by his side. He felt like an outcast! He unsheathed his claws, and lunged at Storm, only to be stopped by Coastpebble. A pleading look in her eyes. She whispered into his ear.*

We're almost there. I can feel it!

*Prairiefall growled, and shot one last loathing look at Storm, before stomping off into the undergrowth.*

:~~Prairiefall:

*Coastpebble watched Prairiefall leave with sad eyes. She felt a pelt brush hers, and she flinched slightly, only to see Storm. he looked down at her, his eyes sad, but filled with anger too. She remembered when they had found Storm: skinny, bruised, scared. Now he was healthy, and happy, again. He had talked about how his mother had died giving birth to her second little of kits. Then, he had been chased away by foxes. He hadn't known what had happened to his father and sister. But he was content now. She remembered when she first saw Storm. She was drawn to him. They had instantly bonded, but Prairiefall was mad, or upset. This upsetted her, which upsetted Storm. Coastpebble side, and felt the reassuring touch of Storm's tail on her back. She spoke quickly, and leaped forward.*

Uhh.... we should go after him! i think he's headed in the right direction, come on!

*Coastpebble looked at Storm to see his face crestfallen. She quickly looked away.*

C-come on...

*She took a few steps forward and waited, ignoring the wait she felt in her stomach.*

:~~Coastpebble:

*Storm sighed and followed Coastpebble. They soon caught up to Prairiefall, and caught a stronger scent of cats. He sniffed the air again, and smelled a familiar scent, but it was quickly washed away by the warm air filled with LakeClan scent. He tried to talk to Coastpebble again, but every time he tried to, she made some excuse.*

C-coastpebble? Can we talk?

*Coastpebble stiffened and shook her head*

We're almost there! I wanna get there before it get's dark!

*Coastpebble looked to the sky. The sun was still high in the sky, though it was past Sun-High. The scent was stronger then ever, and her knew they would be there before dusk. Storm grumbled and padded after her. As they padded on, he soon heard excited whispers from Prairiefall. Then, he stiffened, his tail twitching with excitement. Coastpebble was doing the same, sniffing along the ground. Prairiefall yowled, and bolted forward, with Coastpebble close on his heels. Storm watched them bolt with widened eyes, then quickly took off after them, though he only saw fleeting images of there tails as they kept distance from him. He almost bowled into them as they skidded to a halt in front of a large thorn bush. There was a small gap in the center, and he soon realized that there were brambles and thorns looped all over the place, forming a barrier. And in the center....*

This is it.... we finally made it....

*Prairiefall and Coastpebble both spoke in unison. Their voices filled with awe and astonishment.*

:~~Storm:

HeatClan-The New Sandclan

*Dreamstar padded to the LakeRock, she leaped up onto it.*

All cats old enough to catch their own prey, please gather here beneath LakeRock for a clan meeting!

*The clan came out of dens, and gathered around.*

As you all may have noticed, Froststar has come for our help! They came many moons ago, because two-legs were destroying their territory! But now, in their new territory, that is happening again. They sought us out for help. We shall help them find a new territory, but for now, Froststar's remaining clan may stay here. They shall help us with patrols and hunting, and we shall help them find a new territory! Also, shortly after Froststar came, she had kits. They are welcome to stay until the kits are strong enough to travel.

That is all!

*Dreamstar leaped off of the LakeRock, and swatted playfully at Fleck-kit who was chasing her tail. She grabbed his scruff, and moved him away from her, before she went to talk to her old friend, Froststar.*
