Wandering--{open}

[-:-:-Catie-:-:-]

Nightpoppy lifted her head, listening to the wind bellow in her ear and the shadows of the trees overhead shifting this way and that. She parted her mouth slightly, taking in the fresh scent of beech trees, stones, dirt, grass, prey, and herbs. She scanned the area, slowly walking around the stones, careful not to accidentaly prick her pad on one of them.

[MorningStar]

MorningStar walked onto the sharp rocks, this was where her grandfather LionStar had shown her the lesson of patience. She took it step b careful step feeling the earth under her large paws. The sun was high in the sky by now and the rocks were warm with heat. Her golden coat shawn liek the sun this afternoon. She slowly lifted her head and took a deep breath freezing as she smelt LeopardClan. She turned her head in the direction of the smell and sure enough there was Nightpoppy, LeopardClan's Medicine Cat. The last time Nightpoppy had seen her, she had still been deputy as MorningSong. 'I wounder if she knows of my fathers departure to StarClan.' she thought to herelf She gave a small smile and let out a small roar, "Does NightPoppy consider herself brave for standing near LionClan camp?" she purred playfully. As long as She didn't enter LionClan territory she would be friendly to a fellow ranked feline.

[-:-:-Catie-:-:-]

Nightpoppy jumped and spun around, rounding on Morningsong {{she doesn't know Morningstar is leader yet}}. The furs on the back of her neck lay flat again, and she replied calmly, yet playfully,"Of course, Morningsong. But I'm also here on some duties." She licked her paw and swiped it over her ear, flicking off a tick that was just on it. She made a mental note to herself to check for other ticks on her pelt when she got back to camp.[/color]

[MorningStar]

Morning nodded, "Of course you are." Then she shook her head, "I am no longer MorningSong. I regret to inform you that my father LeoStar passed away a few days ago in a fight against a rouge cat." the golden lioness walked up to Nightpoppy calmly and sighed, "The rouge was to fast for me to keep up with so he got away..." quickly she shook herelf of the thought and stood tall once more, she would not let another big cat see that LionClan had a weak hearted new leader. She had to be brave for her clan.

[LeopardStar]

LeopardStar wondered over to his Medicine Cat and noticed she was talking to MorningStar. He growled and placed a large spotted paw near the border. "What are you doing so far from your hideout?" he asked. He knew it was wrong to torchure her because she was the only FeMale leader, but he couldn't help it, it was instinct. The spotted tom growled and let his ice blue eyes seep into hers.

[MorningStar]

The young lioness gave a hiss of shock as LeopardStar apeard from nowhere. She backed up away from him and his Medicine Cat and gave a small growl, "I have no hide out! Lionclan's territory is out in the open, we are brave warriors and have nothing to hide." She promply raised her head as high as she could in pride for her clan. She would not let this tom push her around jsut because she was young and the only female leader.

[LeopardStar]

LeopardStar snorted, "Yes, full of pride. Hiding in your camp, all alone. At least LeopardClan has SOME care for the borders." he meowed, large growl rumbling in his throat. His spotted white pelt rippled in anger, icey eyes glaring. FeMale leader or not, she was getting on his nerves.

[-:-:-Catie-:-:-]

Nightpoppy's eyes saddened. She was sad about Leostar's death, and she had respected him a lot. "I'm sorry. But I know you'll make a great leader," she purred. Suddenly she heard the crackling of leaves behind her. She turned her head and saw Leopardstar over her shoulder. Nightpoppy flicked her ears in greeting. She listened to them talking, and suddenly noticed they had begun to fight. She shrank back, and decided she would have to stop there quarreling. "Please! There's no point in fighting about other Clan's camps!" she exclaimed in a stern voice, raising her voice it over their arguement.

[LeopardStar]

LeopardStar growled, "LionClan has JUST decided to come out and play eh?" he asked, whipping his head on NightPoppy, "Ah, NightPoppy. I didn't see you there." he meowed, shaking his pelt. He stood taller, ice blue eyes locked onto MorningStar's, "I, am sorry." he said finally, but he didn't meet her's as he spoke, "I shouldn't pick on you because you are the only FeMale leader." he said through gritted teeth.

[MorningStar]

MorningStar almost flinched as LeopardStar started growling and talking in a harsh tone. Luck for her pride NightPoppy spoke up befor he lashed out. This Leader sure had a temper.."NightPoppy is right, as most Medicine Cat's seem to be. We are on a border, just as the land is brought together we must to be respectful of eachother here." She nodded a thank you at the toms appology,"I do not intend for LionClan to be unfriendly to your clan or TigerStar's clan anymore. The Clan is now mine and will change as such. Know from this day on that I to am a leader and we share similar problems. Maybe onday we may earn a respect for eachother instead of letting our clans past leaders mistakes hover over us." She let her green eyes lay on LeopardStars to show her honesty.

[LeopardStar]

LeopardStar drew in a deep breath. "Yes." he said, icey eyes turning to meet hers again. "Maybe."

[RainStorm]

^{RainStorm walked to MorningStar, standing next to her she meowed gently, but harsh, ”Is there something wrong?” Turning her icy gaze onto LeopardStar and NightPoppy she dipped her head in hello then meowed, ”Hello LeopardStar, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen you so close to the LionClan, LeopardClan border.” She sat down, her icy gaze still on LeopardStar. Her harsh gaze suddenly it changed softer as it once was then she waited for what the others would say. Yet, she knew that something was wrong. Her father, LeoStar had been hostile with LeopardStar, and had no intend on making the two clans anything besides long enemies. She always disagreed with this, but with the change of leaders she hoped that this would all change.}

[MorningStar]

MorningStar smiled as LeopardStar started to show some sense. She turned her head and nodded in greeting to her sister and deputy, "No, no problem. I just had a pleasent talk wiht LeopardStar about the changes I plan on making regarding our Clans relationships wiht the other clans. No more disrespect for the other clans. We are all unique and have our own talents." She smiled slightly to herself, she was definently her grandfathers granddaughter. LionStar had been resonalble, gentle, understanding, and friendly to other clans but her father LeoStar had more of a dislike for Tigers and Leopards that showed through his clan now.

[-:-:-Catie-:-:-]

NightPoppy rolled her eyes slightly as MorningStar said the word 'pleasant'. The conversation was pleasant enough. NightPoppy frowned, and her gaze drifted towards RainStorm. She wanted to get to know her, because she felt a tingling whenever the LionClan deputy was in her range of sight.
"Hello," she greeted stiffly. She knew her voice sounded cold and hallow, but after that arguement, it sent the fur on the back of her neck prickling crazily.
"I'd better get back to my duties. I'm sorry," Nightpoppy dipped her head and began backing away.

[RainStorm]

^{RainStorm lifted her left eyebrow, ((If cats can!)) then she looked at her sister in the eyes. Sighing she turned to TallPoppy and meowed, "Well, I hope to see you later then..." Turning to LeopardStar she tried her best not to bare her teeth, as she smiled. Well, sorta smiled, she turned to MorningStar. Looking at her eyes again. She thought, 'She really is like LionStar.... Nothing like LeoStar.... Nothing....' As she thought to her self, she wondered what others though she was like.... 'No time to wonder those things RainStorm!' She scold herself as the sun blazed ahead. 'There are more important things to think...' A cold voice in her head whispered. 'Well, LeopardStar is here. And MorningStar, there might as well be peace in the two clans in a while... Unlike of when LeoStar was leader...' Forcing a smile she waited until the leaders spoke once more.}
