New Loner.

Silverpelt followed Dustclaw (is that powerplay even though he IS in front of Silver?) and took a small step closer to him, trying to make herself look a little smaller than she normally would be. She kept her ears pointed backwards, but not quite flat against her head.

DustClaw was padding infront of SilverPelt, then he noticed her trying to make herself shrink. "Why are you doing that Silverpelt? Don't be scared of my clan" he meowed to the apparently shrinking cat.

The silver she-cat looked at Dustclaw and murmured, "I've had a lot of stress, and this camp smells almost like DarkClan..." She takes another step closer to Dustclaw, embarressment and a little fear flowing off of her.

DustClaw understood she was under a lot of stress then he relized one thing. "Oh,sorry SilverPelt, that's me, I attacked DarkClan a while ago, just me and my brother,who wasn't much help" DustClaw meowed with a mmrrow of laughter.

The she-cat's eyes darkened, obviously not finding Dustclaw's comment very funny. "DarkClan killed my friend. Or they finished him off. One of the two. I don't joke when it comes to those mouse-brained piles of fox-dung." She sighed, having let her hidden temper escape. Silverpelt then looked at Dustclaw before surveying the camp.

DustClaw was suprised of how serious she was "I was laughing about my brother, but I really did attack DarkClan, and sorry about your friend" DustClaw meowed. sadly to SilverPelt.

Silverpelt looked at Dustclaw and mewed softly, "It's not your fault... I just let the temper I had locked away slip past my guard...."

"Oh well, let's not talk about this anymore" DustClaw meowed to Silverpelt.

(Will some other SC cat notice us already?)

OOC: Exactly what I'm thinking.

Silverpelt smiled slightly and she looks at the camp entrance, seeing a tiny white kit there. She looks at Dustclaw before mewing, "Who's that kit?"

OOC: The kit is Ivorykit, since you are supposed to know this.

"That's Ivorykit" DustClaw meowed to SilverPelt. "Wait, Ivorykit what are you doing this far from the nursery? By your self???" DustClaw meowed to Ivorykit.

The kit merely looked at Dustclaw, not saying a word. She then muttered, "I am five moons. I can go around on my own for a little time. I have no mother." She looked at Silverpelt and the silver she-cat looked back. Ivorykit padded to the two adults.

"Oh yeah, sorry Ivorykit,I can't keep track of you kits.." DustClaw meowed to Ivorykit who was padding up next to them.

OOC: Starting realize that I unconsiously based Ivorykit on Elva from Brisingr.

IC: Ivorykit snorted before taking in a deep breath and looked at Silverpelt curiously. The older she-cat knew that Ivorykit could smell her embarressment and she sighed. "I think you need to go back to the nursery, little one. Don't want to get in trouble." As if you couldn't deal with whatever was thrown at you, she added in her mind. Ivorykit snorted and padded off. "That kit seems odd." She mewed, looking around, hoping that no cat with a mean temper would show up.

DustClaw could smell SilverPelt's fear-scent. "Don't be worried" he meowed as he waited for more Shadow Clan cats to come.

Silverpelt smiled slightly, but she still didn't let her guard down, having heard stories of ShadowClan's reputation.

BlackHeart,DustClaw brother, saw his brother and a rogue, he padded up to them. "What are you doing with this rogue DustClaw?" he meowed questioningly to his brother."She shouldn't be here"

DustClaw looked at his brother then to SilverPelt. "This is SilverPelt BlackHeart." he meowed before looking down at her "SilverPelt this is Blackheart,my brother"

Silverpelt dipped her head. "Hello." She looked over Blackheart and tried to keep her temper in check when she said, "And I am a loner. Rogues are banished, and I was never banished." She looked at Dustclaw briefly before trying to determine Blackheart's personality.

"Oh! Sorry er...SilverPelt" Blackheart meowed embaraced "I thought you were just a rogue"

DustClaw leaned close to SilverPelt's ear "He's very cowardly, and shy around other cats, especially she-cats." he whispered.

Silverpelt snorted and whispered back, "Doesn't seem that way." She smiled and stepped a little closer to Dustclaw, finally getting a little comfortable in the camp, even though she only met one other cat.

OOC-DustClaw said that,,,and blackheart never fought you

Cloudfrost shoved his way through the entrance of the warrior's den,blinking sleepily. His long gray fur caught on the brambles,and he tugged them away,leaving tiny tufts of fur behind. He stepped forwards to get a piece of prey from the dwindling fresh-kill pile before going out hunting,but stepped into a puddle of frozen water. He hissed in annoyance,lifting his paw and shaking the water from it. I should have been able to scent that! He felt the familiar surge of rage that he was blind and could never be a normal warrior. He had come mouse-lengths from being medicine cat. The snow and frost was messing with his good senses,as it muffled any sound prey made and erased all scent. He stopped dead,a strong breeze throwing the scent of a loner in his face. "Dustclaw,why did you bring another loner here? We don't have the prey to feed ourselves,much less this soft cat."he spat,his fur starting to bristle.

"Well what do we have here?" Poppypaw sauntered over. The older apprentice's fur blended with the snow. You couldn't notice any of the flakes when the landed in her fur. Her blue eyes sweeped over the she-cat. "Well, what's your name?"

The she-cat looked at Cloudfrost, hissing. "I am
ANYTHING but soft." She looked a little closer, seeing the blindness, like Stealthclaw before her, and she said nothing. She looked back at Poppypaw and said, "I'm Silverpelt."

"Poppypaw, SilverPelt wants to join ShadowClan...maybe." DustClaw meowed uncertainly,then peered over at SilverPelt. "You do don't you?" he asked SilverPelt.

Silverpelt nodded, knowing she is giving up some of her freedom. "Yes." she purred, before whispering to Dustclaw, in a tone that only he can hear, "I like you. That much I got out of my screwed-up feelings. That's the only reason I wish to join."
