Becoming One of them(ShoreClan members only)

[Lily]

The morning light rested on the water as a dark figure crossed it. Letting her paws feel the ice water, flinching from the cold. ''Why I'm doing this? I'm joining another Clan. Thought the black warrior.I must uphold Blackstripe's honor he was my brother even if he lift his Clan. I want to be ShoreClan since EmberClan holds nothing for me Though Shoadwjumper again. For the past 3 Moon she has been thinking of joining ShoreClan for the reason she doesn't even know.

One reason for sure was the fact her brother and mother where both ShoreClan her father was a rouge.
Making sure she wasn't in ShoreClan yet the black warrior sat on the ground to wait for a patrol. Her mind racing every time she saw a bird fly across the border into EmberClan she thought of all her friends. Wintertail was the only one she could talk to but she was gone all the time. Skysong and here once talk allot but she was gone to with Blitzfire. It all seemed to Dumper that everyone had something to do, but being 32 Moon she had nothing to do, all her fellow EmberClan cat where young and barely reach 12 moons.
Shoadwjumper was once as care free like them but when Blueshade help her with losing Blueflame, then Blueflame came back. It all fell into place. She wasn't as loyal to EmberClan as she thought. Ever since she found her brother in ShoreClan she wanted to be by his side. Now she has the chance and she must wait.

A slender cream pelt slithered out of the stalky ferns by the Riverbank.
"Greetings. Shadowjumper, I presume?" Strawberrypaw tried to sound dignified. "What are you doing on our territory?" The former kittypet tried not to look scared out of her fur -- a cat like this EmberClan queen could kill her by just swiping at her neck. Strawberrypaw forced herself to meet Shadowjumper's gaze without flinching, but saw a dark feeling that the apprentice did not understand.

Twilightstar had taken the morning to do some hunting. He mainly did it to get out of camp as he wanted a bit of a break from the drama there. It was obvious to him that he was still on Swallowsong's blacklist. Leaping over a fallen log, he sighed and brushed up against a tree. At least it was a lovely day for hunting.

Perking up his ears at the faint scent of his friend Nightfrost, Twilightstar sniffed the air before smiling a little. It wasn't Nightfrost, it was his apprentice Strawberrypaw. Wondering what she was doing so far out here without her mentor, he trotted off in her direction. As he drew closer he picked up the scent of an EmberClan warrior and his pace changed into a run.

Fearing Strawberrypaw was going to be attacked, he bristled up as he charged into the clearing. Relief swept through him at seeing Shadowjumper wasn't in ShoreClan territory, but he still wasn't pleased to see her. Stepping close to Strawberrypaw, the fur along his spine remained stiffly upright to show he wasn't in the mood for games.

"What are you doing here Shadowjumper?" He asked curtly, preferring to get straight to the point rather than beat around the bush. He briefly eyed Strawberrypaw and saw she was alright, but his eyes said he was going to want to know what she was doing here once Shadowjumper left. Looking back at the EmberClan warrior, he waited for a reply.

[Lily]

Shadowjumper looked at Twlightstar and then giving a smile to Strawberrypaw. Playing with her paws on the ground she looked at Twlightstar, standing up and twriling her tail around. ''Twlightstar I mean no harm I wish to join ShoreClan She halfed blurted out but kept he voice steady. ''If you want the reason why I will tell back at the camp? She mowed grining a weak yet sweet smile.

[♫ [.nighty.]]

Strawberrypaw almost fell out of her fur in terror that some other cat was going to finish her. Slightly relaxing when she noted that it was only Twilightstar, Strawberrypaw returned his sideways glance with a defiant glare.

I know, the great ShoreClan Leader can tell me where to go and not to go . . . what a bossypaws.

She sniffed, and listened to Twilightstar calmly, eyes betraying nothing.

"What are you doing here Shadowjumper?"

Could he have been more obvious? Strawberrypaw wanted to spit in his face, instead, she bit her tongue until the tangy taste of blood filled her mouth. Disgust painted itself on her face.

''Twlightstar I mean no harm I wish to join ShoreClan,"

WHAT? Strawberrypaw could have hurled, right there. She clamped her teeth between her tongue even harder and looked at Twilightstar confusedly.

''If you want the reason why I will tell back at the camp?"

Like that made it okay for Shadowjumper to intrude on ShoreClan territory. But, of course, Strawberrypaw had begged ShoreClan to take her in, so she couldn't start a quarrel, it would backfire at her.

Great StarClan, what the heck is this cat thinking?

Finally, she spluttered: "Did something happen in EmberClan?" her voice sounded slightly accusing, though her words were carefully picked.

[Lily]

Shadowjumper narrowed her eyes at the appertince but still held her head high. Strawberrypaw I don't know how to tell you this but I won't tell anything about EmberClan but I will tell you this. EmberClan is doing fine but the reason I want to join ShoreClan is between Twlightstar and myself. She mowed being sturn with the appertince but not to harsh. Keeping her eyes even with Strawberrypaw she grined. Strawberrypaw I'm sorry but something are ment to be kept secrect She purred lightly pressing her paw ontop of the appertince's shoulder.

[♫ [.nighty.]]

Strawberrypaw narrowed her eyes but dipped her head to Shadowjumper.
"I will respect your decision, then," she mewed at last, and stared at her paws, before casting Twilightstar another sideways look, wondering if she had said, well, the wrong thing. Embarrasment prickled at her neck.

If I did, he dares to make a public rebuke . . .

Venomous thoughts built up in Strawberrypaw's mind, though she kept quiet.

[Kiri-chan]

(look, Twi is NOT the enemy alright? Honestly lay off the hatefulness you guys. I'm getting tired of it and Twi has never been mean to anyone. Geez, he was just WORRIED about Strawberry okay? On top of that, Strawberrypaw needs to mind her place and her attitude is really pushing it.)

Twilightstar narrowed his eyes thoughtfully as Shadowjumper said she wanted to join his clan, but wouldn't say why until she was at camp. If she thought she'd get a free pass to wander into his camp like that she was mistaken. Very mistaken. Aside from the other issues going on back in camp, which thankfully the other clans weren't aware of, Twilightstar was extremely suspicious. Why would an EmberClan warrior leave her clan? It was no secret that EmberClan tended to be somewhat of a hostile clan so Twilightstar was in no hurry to accept her. He didn't think EmberClan would go so far as to have one of their warriors join another clan just to get information on them, but this was still going against Warrior Code and he had to wonder if Blazestar was aware of Shadowjumper's switching allegiance. Or fickle at any rate.

Strawberrypaw blurted out wanting to know what was going on in the meantime and Shadowjumper neatly replied it was none of her business, which in fact, it wasn't. Put off that Strawberrypaw didn't appear to know her place, Twilightstar gave her a slightly annoyed look. "Strawberrypaw, go back to camp. I'll join you there shortly." He said, his tone leaving no room for argument or delay.

Once Strawberrypaw was gone, he looked back at Shadowjumper. "I'm not letting you across my border with so little information. If you want to join my clan that badly, you can tell me why here and I'll decide whether or not you can join." He said as he took a seat and curled his tail around his paws. The whole "weirdness" of it made him wonder if Midnightsong had ever had someone from another clan try to join and how she'd handled it. The more he thought about it though, he couldn't think of one instance in his lifetime where a Warrior from one clan joined another. It was just too... weird.

[♫ [.nighty.]]

OOC: I don't mean to just OOC post, but do I have to reply saying 'Strawberrypaw went back to camp?'

[Lily]

Shadowjumper watched as Strawberrypaw left and grinned. The apprentice was a little nosy. Looking back at Twlightstar she shifted her paws and opened her mouth. Only to have nothing come up, thinking of what to say she looked at the ground pressing her paws in the ground and reliving the pressure to see her paw prints in the dirt.

''Let me start the beginning She said looking at Twlightstar giving a little grin unsure how to tell him her reason to join the Clan.

''My Mother Nightpelt was a ShoreClan warrior.My father was Greyclaw well he was a EmberClan warrior but become a rouge after my mother died. I think she died on the border since I grew up in EmberClan and Blackstripe my brother in ShoreClan. Drawing in a gulp of air she looked at Twlightstar hoping he believed her since he did sound far fetched.

''You knew Blackstripe right? Well we grew up in different clan but one night my foster mother FIrejumper took me as an apprentice to ShoreClan border, she was good friends with my dad. She introduced me and Black''paw'' to each other. Shadowjumper felt a tear well up in her eyes she never told anyone about this.

''After my foster mother died Blackstripe and I never meet but we started to again when we both become warriors. It was going great until right before the flood he become a rouge. For reason I don't know. At Korea Maa He killed Snakebite you know him right? She asked looking back.

''That all the reason I want to be in ShoreClan is because I no longer feel loyal to EmberClan but to ShoreClan. Please let me join. She mowed trying not to sound begging.

(Long post >.< lol)

[Kiri-chan]

(sorry I made you wait so long and that's okay Crystal, you don't have to cause yah, that would be rather hard to make a long post out of. lol)

Twilightstar listened with interest to her story and was surprised to find out she and Blackstripe were related. That's definitely news to me. I wonder if Midnightsong knew that. He thought to himself curiously as he listened to Shadowjumper finish her tale. Not saying anything right away, Twilightstar took the time to think during the brief moment of silence that followed.

He had nothing against EmberClan, but this didn't feel right to him. Mainly because he'd never heard of it happening before, but he also had a feeling that the EmberClan leader didn't know about this. Now that he thought about it, he didn't recall seeing Blazestar around either and briefly wondered if things were as okay as they seemed for that clan.

Going back to what Shadowjumper had told him, he mulled it over silently for a long minute. One glaring thing that was bothering him, aside from if Blazestar knew about any of this, was why she felt an attachment to ShoreClan now. It seemed almost too late in a way. It also seemed slightly weird that she'd want to leave EmberClan to join the clan her deceased brother was in that, by the way, had murdered Snakebite. Finally, he spoke.

"Does Blazestar know about any of this? Or that you're here?" He finally asked, his tone giving nothing away as to where his thoughts were going. At the moment he hadn't made a decision yet and he was curious about Blazestar and what she knew of this. Twilightstar had a feeling the leader didn't know either. Afterall, intraclan relationships were a strict no-no and the ones that did crop up once in awhile were kept very quiet.


(and I forgot, what clan was Snakebite in? I keep thinking he was EmberClan but I can't remember...)

[Lily]

(Snakebite was ShoreClan the thread in Korea Maa the long one is where his death is posted)

Shadowjumepr felt her head grow heavy and looked behind her ,toward EmberClan. ''No Blazestar been gone for quite a while She confesed , looking at Twlightstar. I don't know I can understand if you denie me to join ShoreClan She mowed respectfully keeping her head leavel with Twlightstar's head.
