HawkClan Entrance

"Shortpaw has to stay in the elders den, she's having some sort of mental break-down" she said sadly.

Ashpelt would turn his gaze to the highledge and smile softly at it before he stands up and places one paw on a small ledge below it and looks up again-

FlamingGlare purred at the news but once Fawnleap mentioned Shortpaw his ears laid back. "She's a strong young she-cat. I'm pretty sure she can handle her burden if need be she has the clans support." the tom said as his eyes glanced at Ashpelt for a few heart beats then turned to Fawnleap.

"Well I hope she recovers, but we won't know yet" she sighed sadly at the short-legged apprentice's dilemma.

He silently sighed as he listened to his former apprentices condition and such. He wanted to see the young apprentice, to apologeize but that wouldn't fix anything. He must wait for the gathering so his plan could develop, and she would just freak out.-

Fawnleap whispered in Flamingglare's ear "She freaked out when shpelt tried to talk to her, she started clawing the sides of her head." she whispered softly so only he could hear.

The tom would then shake his head as if remembering something that he was told. Ashpelt would leap onto the highledge and raise his voice across the camp.-"Let all cats old enough to catch there own prey, join beneath the highledge for a clan meeting."-he would say with his voice raised to almost its top notch. He could raise hs voice surprisingly, considering Ashpelt was a very small and slender cat.-

FlamingGlare leaned closer so he could hear Fawnleap better, he shook his head, "I told-- well asked that he should make it up to her... Guess that didnt work." The tom perked his ears to the sound of Ashpelts voice.

Ashy would stare around the camp, obviousl waiting for more to show but he just sighed and continued-"Amberstar has gone away for a while. Do not be alarmed... She has left me in charge in her absence, but, i cannot do it alone. FlamingGlare shall help me with duties, patrols, and other such things. Meeting is over. If you have question's, find me."-he jumped down and sighed, guessing no one cared but simply holding his head high, shortpaw still on his thoughts.-

Fallingpaw padded away from her hiding spot and sat under the high ledge. She looked up at Ashpelt, wondering what he wanted. Upon hearing what he said, she looked a little surprised. Where had Amberstar gone? Fallingpaw shook her head, then began padding away.

The deputy would pad over to FlamingGlare, his gaze away from Fawnleap and only on FlamingGlare. He would speak in a normal tone but with urgency.-"FlamingGlare, could you and Fawnleap go out with all of the appentices to train them? May i have a word with Fawnleap alone real fast?"-he said in the same voice, finally turning his head toward Fawnleap-

FlamingGlare shrugged and got up to gather the apprentices. Turning to look behind him as a wide grin fell on his face, though he was careful not to show any of the two warriors. "All apprentices out in clearing please!" The tom yowled out as he sat besides the entrance.

The deputy would nod toward the elder warrior before he turned his amber gaze toward the she-cat he learned to trust.-"Fawnleap, i would like you to get Shortpaw and bring her to me please."

Fallingpaw growled under her breath. Her brother would most likely be in the clearing, and she didn't want to talk to him, or see him. But she stalked over to the clearing, visibly annoyed.

Luckypaw popped her head out from the, "Where are we going?" The black and white apprentice bounded out.

Ignitingpaw walked out, his green eyes looking for his sister. She wasn't hard to find with her white pelt so he bounded over to her. Ignoring the fact that she looked annoyed, "um.. Can we talk?" The tom asked softly as he fell in pace with her.

Fallingpaw glared at him. "What is there to talk about? You abandoned me when I needed you most." She growled quietly, her eyes icy.

"I did not! I was there you could have came to me!" He glared back at her, "you said hurtful things Fallingpaw! Sorry that I don't please you enough but I'm not your babysitter!" His voice cracked as his ears laid back, instantly regretting his choice of words.

"S-sure Ashpelt" The pretty, slender feline said, her silky tone faltering for a moment at the thought of the small apprentice curled up in the Elder's den alone.

Fallingpaw stiffened as her eyes became more filled with anger. "I did come to you! I did! All I needed was someone by my side, but you walked off! I may have said cruel words, but your actions tore apart my heart, actions speak louder than words! No, you are not my babysitter. You are my brother! The only family I have left!" She spat at him, eyes throwing daggers at him. Tears formed in her eyes, and a few fell.

Ignitingpaw swallowed back his words, he had enough of these foolish games. The tom just nodded as he kept walking by her. Finally he spoke, "have you ever thought I needed to be alone?" His voice was soft as he spoke, "I was always there..." Ignitingpaws head was low as his tail dragged in the earth.

"Thank you FawnLeap..."-he said softly before glancing around once more as he waited for Shortpaw to come with FawnLeap-

Mistykit walked out of the nursery, mouth parted to take in scents, ears perked to hear better. He made his way to the fresh kill pile, taking a mouse. He walked half way to the nursery before plopping down and biting into the prey. The blind tom's tail flicked back and forth in content.

Fawnleap padded from the Elder's den carrying Shortpaw by the scruff. The cream and white shecat's tail dragged along the ground while being carried. Shortpaw looked utterly defeated, staying completely limp while being carried. Fawnleap laid the apprentice down gently in front of the deputy.

Fallingpaw sniffled, tears falling. "So that's it? You wanted to be alone? All of the time? You always wanted to be alone? Fine, thanks for finally telling me the truth. Guess I'll leave you alone like you want." She half sobbed half snarled, and changed her direction so she quickly drifted away from him, still glaring at him.

"Fallingpaw that's not what I meant! Stop being acting like a kit! I will always be there but I also need my space as you do to." His voice was sharp with pain and anger as she walked away.
