A black and white tom crept through the trees, his fur flattened as he scented the Boulderclan markers. A patrol had just through here, fresh scent. He padded through the undergrowth, quickly catching a mouse in the Willowclan terriotory and glancing around. He shouldn't be in this territory, he was a Fireclan cat, what had brought him to do this? Hunger. It was the middle of a harsh leafbare, and he was hunting. He didn't want his clan to get suspicous of his dissappearance, so he stole another vole and squirrel, before heading the opposite direction of the Boulderclan border, where the Fireclan border would be found.

(Omg this should so be an ancient cat RP!)
A small she-cat bounded acoss the frozen stream and left fragile paw prints implanted in the snow, soon to be swept away by more of it that fell from the murky sky. Her tortishell fur was coated with small ice crystals which clinged on and sent chills throughout her body. She stopped, as she neared the BoulderClan and FireClan borders. She sighed and tasted the air, trying to scent any bit a prey. Luckily, she scented a rabbit burrowed somewhere in the snow yet still vulnerable to the world. She froze as she scented another cat. FireClan. Her eyes narrowed as she spun around and stalked the scent. Finally, she ended up beside a black and white tom with a mouse in his jaws. Soon, the rest of her patrol was sitting beside her with the same expression planted on their face."Thief! What are you doing in WillowClan territroy? she called and the rest of the patrol murmured in agreement.

Suddenly the tom flinched at the sound of another voice. You should've been quicker, Whisperheart! You Mousebrain! Why'd you ever leave your clan? Your the deputy! You could have told someone before doing so! His mind yowled at himself, anger flaring in his stomach. Whisperheart sat up and looked at the patrol of Willowclan cats steadily, " Simple explanation... " The black and white deputy thought hard before answering slowly, " I was looking for prey beyond the clan territories. I decided to try around the area beyond the Moonpool. ( Like the Moonstone )" Whisperheart lied, biting his tongue so he wouldmn't say more.

The calico cat glared at the tom. He looks familiar... of course! He'd FireClan's deputy! she thought. Why would he be stealing prey? The she-cat looked down at the vole, squirell, and mouse at his paws. "Really? Youre not stealing from us?" she said sarcastically. "Just look at your paws! The evidence is right there! I'd think the FireClan deputy[/i] would know better than to steal prey!"[/b] she snapped.
"Well, it isa harsh leaf-bear, Littlebird" a silver she-cat said on the patrol, defending the FireClan deputy. "Hush, Mistcloud. That makes no difference," Littlebird corrected the she-cat.

A slender she-cat padded forward, her soft brown pelt stood out in the white snow. Her green eyes looked at the cats before her. Her head was held high, even though her size was rather small, and she just radiated the fact that she was leader. "It is a terrible leafbare," she said revealing herself, "But the prey was on WillowClan territory so it is WillowClan prey."
Another cat padded after his leader. This one was a light grey tom with a white muzzle, underbelly and paw tips. He faced his leader, "Rabbitstar, why are you defending these cats? They aren't even from BoulderClan."
Rabbitstar turned to her warrior, "Hush Crowtalon, the Warrior Code states you can't steal other's prey, and I'm simply following it."
(im not sure if there really is a rule in the warrior code that says that...)

Littlebird turned around to see Rabbitstar, BoulderClan's leader. She dipped her head to the leader and said "Harsh leaf-bear or not, he has no right to steal our prey!" she said like a whining kit.
A muscular grey tom padded his way toward the patrol which was pearched upon the borders. "Littlebird, Mistcloud, and Burntpaw..." he started, his gaze scanning each cat. Burntpaw, a smokey black cat, just looked up at the cat and remained silent. "What is going on?"
"Nothing, Stormfeather, besides the fact that FireClan are dirty thiefs and liars!" she hissed "Prey stealers!"
Stormfeather's gaze remained calm and looked at Rabbitstar with a dip of his head. "That's enough out of you, Littlebird" he said. "I'm sure this tom has a reasonable explaination for why he took a portion of our prey" he said calmly.

Rabbitstar nodded, "Yes of course. I'm not saying he can steal your prey. I'm just saying that no matter the circumstance prey-stealing is forbidden."
Crowtalon nodded, looking at the cats around him. It seems as if a Gathering was going on, all the clans were here (i think).

"That's not what it sounds like to me..." Littlebird muttered under her breath.
Stormfeather flashed a sharp glare at Littlebird. "We didn't ask for your opinion!" he whispered to the calico cat with a snap. Were's Wolfstar? She could handle this better than I... I'm just a deputy he thought with a tang of annoyance.

So many cats... so much trouble Whisperheart groaned to himself, the truth might weaken his clan, but it was the only thing he could do. With his muscles tensed incase he would be attacked, he meowed, " Truth be it, twolegs have taken over part of land. They look like they have been building their twoleg nests. The twolegs have tooken over the Black Clearing. It was where we mostly found prey. Rabbits, mice, and many types of birds were what we preyed on mainly. Twolegs have tooken that away from us. I'm sorry I've tooken prey, my clan is struggling to survive. We've already lost two of our elders, and one kit. Mosstail, Shadowstorm, and Pigeonkit. " Whisperheart hastily bowed his head, pushing his prey toward the group of cats, unhappiness gripping him. He could've gotten out of here, and fed his clan. Instead, he had caused quite a ruckus.

Crowfang looked at the FireClan deputy, "Hrmph, Rabbitstar, we aren't even part of this argument. Let's go back to your clan."
Rabbitstar started to turn away, but stayed put, "The Gathering is soon," she said pointing her tail up towards the moon that lingered above the cats, "Everything should be settled by then. We wouldn't want another battle to occur due to something as silly as a couple pieces of prey," she scoffed and scampered back towards BoulderClan.

Littlebird angrily swiped up a piece of prey and held it in her mouth. "The Clans will sure to hear about this!" she snapped with a lisp for her mouth was blocked by a mouse. Mistcloud sighed and picked up the vole and soon Burntpaw made his way through the cats and picked up the squirel.
Stormfeather watched as the patrol returned to camp and he sat down, wrapping his tail around his paws. "What were you thinking?" the deputy asked the other deputy, meeting his gaze.

Whisperheart sighed. " I wish I knew myself, I thought I would be able to feed my clan, without anyone finding out. Apparently I was wrong. My clan is dying. I can't stand around and do nothing. " The black and white tom stared at the ground, his green eyes flickering back toward where he would be needing to go to get back to Fireclan. " Keep your prey then. Let my clan die. " Whisperheart spat, turning away, beginning to head toward his own territory.

Stormfeather's eyes widened at the tom's sharp remark. "It is not our concern if your Clan dies! We can live without you, it's not like we need prey stealer in our territory!" he spat back.

Crowfang nodded to Stormfeather, "More territory for us if FireClan dies out," he said, scraping his paws over the FireClan border, as if burying dirt. (do cat's kick dirt over their...err feces? i know dogs do)
Rabbitstar cuffed Crowfang's ears with slightly unsheathed claws, nicking his ear fur slightly, "Enough of you," she said sternly, but a slight smirk was on her face, as if she was impressed by Crowfang's actions.
(did anyone notice I changed Crowfang's name from Crowtalon to Crowfang? i keep forgetting. i wanted his name to be crowfeather but that's taken already -____- )

(Oh, now I noticed it! Heh)
Stormfeather nodded. "More territory, more prey... the life of two Clans sounds pretty miserable if you ask me," he said with a alrge amount of sacasum.

Crowfang nodded, "This place isn't big enough to feed four clans (there are four right?) might as well leave all the prey to the stronger clans."
"Crowfang, enough," Rabbitstar hissed, "Weak or strong every cat has the right to live in this forest."

( Four clans. Boulderclan, Fireclan, Willowclan, Iceclan. )
Whisperheart twitched his ears. Stalking across the border into his own territory, he turned and yowled," If we die of hunger, you have nobody but to blame yourselves! If you change your mind, then help. If you don't, let the guilt claw at your heart for seasons upon seasons! " He whipped back to look at his own territory, the tall leafless trees. Whisperheart had chosen a terrible time to hunt in another territory, the Gathering was tommorow night, and he was sure he'd be stripped from his deputyship for atleast a moon. Probably treated as an apprentice. He groaned to himself as he prowled through the trees, catching a scrawny mouse and old blackbird, before heading back toward Fireclan's camp.
x----x----x
Whisperheart padded slowly into camp, his pelt ragged, and his ears flattened, green eyes burning fiercly. He dropped his mouse on the small fresh kill pile, and dropped the mouse there. Whisperheart trotted off to the elders' den, then dropped the old blackbird in the center of it. He glanced around, " Here's a blackbird, or have you already eaten? "

(in boulderclan camp)
Rabbitstar leaped up onto the small ledge near a small cave where her den was made. She laid down, her muzzle on her paws, and with her soft green eyes, she looked out upon her clan. Gathering was tomorrow. She would bring Crowfang, definitely. Just in case anyone were to mention the dispute today. Who else?
Smokefeather seemed to slither into camp, her smoky grey fur had some brown tufts in it. Her blue eyes were sharp, ocean deep. Her white fangs released two sparrows and a larger bird riding on her back (mental image. lols, but how else would she be able to carry it?).
Crowfang padded up to Smokefeather and flicked her ear with a sheathed paw, "Watch out Smokefeather, you have a rogue bird on your back," he joked.

(LOL at first I thought you said 'stormfeather'. I was like ... o.0 xD. Someone should be IceClan. Or... we can jsut have someone quickly play them since they aren't really important at tha moment.)
Stormfeather padded into camp, the three cats on the previous patrol glanced back as Wolfstar sat with them. He sighed and padded up to the four. "I have something to say..." he began.
"I know what you will say," Wolfstar said with a calm, relaxing voice. She flicked her tail to hush Littlebird who was about to snap at him saying 'We already told her, furbrain!' We are indecisive if we will mention it at the Gathering tonight. Of course, Littlebird is all fourth, Mistcloud thinks other wise, and Burntpaw is unsure. What do you think?" she asked.
Stormfeather stared at his paws. Why must being a deputy be so complicated? He was like a kit, needing his mother for help. "Well, I suppose we should mention it... I think the four Clans should at least know" he said.
"Yes, I guess you're right. Perhaps FireClan has a reasonable explanation... I believe it was the deputy that did this, correct? I assume he's told his Clan... if not they'll know tonight," she decided. "I suppose we'll bring Mistcloud and Littlebird, our other two eyes... Burntpaw is still but too young to attend a gathering. After all, his apprenticeship was announced but a few sunrises ago. Marshfoot shall also come... he has no option. And one more to balance out the ratios... How about Bogwhisper (LOL fail name! xD)? yes, he'll come as well. Alright, let's be off," the silver she cat announced as she headed out of camp and the rest of her patrol followed.
(Shall we bump to the Gathering?)

(sure, are we each playing one clan? cause right now i'm all of boulderclan)
Rabbitstar announced, "Larksinge, Crowfeather, Cloudpaw and Jaypaw will come to the gathering as well as I." she announced.
Larksinge, a tom with sleek, brown fur with lighter brown and darker brown shades and with seafoam green eyes. He was the deputy of BoulderClan. He twitched his tail and his claws slid out without him thinking about it. Of course he had heard about what had happened with FireClan. Crowfang doesn't know how to keep his jaws shut.
Cloudpaw was excited! His first gathering! His light cream fur and his soft green eyes seemed to glow with joy.
Jaypaw sighed and sheathed and unsheathed his claws against a dry leaf, puncturing holes in it, leaving it cracked. His light blue eyes seemed to be more silver than blue. He looked up to see his older sister, Silverfrost, standing over him. They looked almost the same, except Silverfrost's fur was lighter and her eyes seemed like ice.
Rabbitstar beckoned the patrol. It was time for the gathering.
