DustClaw and SilverPelt enter.

DustClaw padded in with SilverPelt behind him. "Redstar,are you in here? I want to introduce a new cat,but I need to know if you approve." he meowed into the leader's den.

Redstar growled. "What is this, Thunderclan? We don't let cats join whenever they intrude on our territory. Leave at once!" Redstar hissed. He was already grumpy about the low amounts of prey, and a rogue in his den didn't help his mood.

"I know this is not ThunderClan, but she is not any loner, she was a warrior in another clan that was dispanded,she can help us." DustClaw meowed,annoyed at his grumpy leader.

"She is an outsider and an extra cat to feed. We need all the prey we can get, and another mouth does not help!" Redstar growled again. He was almost crazed by hunger, and it showed in his eyes. He had let younger warriors and apprentices get the scraps of food, and it would stay that way until he was sure everyone was well-fed.

Silverpelt dipped her head in respect and nodded. "I can help. I may not have been a leader or deputy, but I can still fight. And I can hunt with great skill." the she-cat purred. Her eyes darkened and she added, "Must I prove myself first, be it in a fight or hunt?"

Redstar thought for a moment. He would be stealing from the other clans soon anyway. "Fine....you must prove yourself in a fight. Against me." His ears twitched in annoyance. But if Shadowclan was going to steal prey, it'd be found out soon enough. He could use Silverpelt as bait to get even more prey...

He twitched his tail toward the entrance of the den. "We'll battle in the clearing; I apologize for not wanting your blood on my bed." He almost sneered as he led the way out of his den.

Silverpelt smiled and followed Redstar, stifling laughter.
