Ashstripe quietly walked in to see the two cats rough housing. She paused and sat down, curling her furry tail around her. The two cats were quite amusing to her.

A beautiful gray cat sat silhouetted against the darkened sky. His silver eyes opened and narrowed on the clan he had been watching. He needed a home, being a loner was no longer an option. Whether or not they would except him was not in his power but he would do anything to prove that he was loyal. He sprinted down the hill and to the edge of the territory. His pace slowed to a creep, his ears back in a submissive gesture. Finally he found the camp, "Greetings, my name is Mitch." He bowed his head slightly. His eyes soft and careful. Mitch quickly scanned the cats, there were many pretty females and many strong, big males. His heart sputtered in a brief spasm of fear, but he caught himself and his eyes showed confidence and strength.

Gingerclaw stopped his play fight and pulled away from Leopardfang, he placed himself in front of her and arched his back at Mitch. The large tom bared his teeth in a snarl, tail lashing. "You're either a loner or a kittypet, either way, who said you could just waltz into our camp? I may have to teach you a lesson kitty..." The large gray and white tom raised one paw and glared at the other tom, he didn't smell like kittypet slop, but the leader would decide if he was to stay.

Ashstripe stood quickly when she saw the tom who called himself Mitch appear and look them all over. She watched as Gingerclaw snarled at the newcomer and putting himself between Mitch and Leopardfang. The medicine cat kept her distance. Ashstripe wasn't sure what the outcome of this ordeal would be.

Mitch was wise and didn't respond to the over protective cat. "I'm sorry if I come off as a intruder." His eyes were soft, they rested on what looked like the medicine cat for a moment. He was sympathetic towards her, she seemed confused.
Moonstar slowly crept from his cavern. His tired eyes found the loner and he sat down in front of him. He waved his tail at Gingerclaw, "enough, he has opposed no threat." Moonstar looked over the strong cat infront of him, "You wish a clan, hmm?" He rasped. He pondered it for a moment, "My clan wouldn't recieve good reputation from a loner joining us." His eyes turned to slits, "But starclan welcomes all to their territory, so I welcome you to mine." Moonstar's ears twitched as snickers and choas broke out in his clan, "Enough. Temporarily that is. You must show me that you will benifit my clan, and not disable it."

Gingerclaw hissed but didn't move an inch, his hackles were still up and his lips pulled into a snarl. He lowered his head and lashed out his tail, he did not like this one bit.
A young gray cat exploded into the camp and looked around wildly, he noticed Gingerclaw looking enraged, Ashstripe looking dumbfounded and some random cat in the camp. Volepaw let out a hiss and went tp stand by the gray and white tom, Gingerclaw. "Moonstar, he's a loner! No good will come of him!" He growled, he thought Moonstar was getting too soft.

"How dare you, Volepaw? This is cat, the same as any other. Why is he difforent from us?" Moonstars eyes grew sympathetic to the young apprentance. He reminded Moonstar of Moonclaw and Silverpool. Worthy warriors that had to leave for unknown purposes. Them leaving had cast a shadow of sorrow across his clan, but somthing told him that they would return one day."Mitch, you may stay in the..." Moonstar thought it would be better for his clan to decide. "Who is willing to host Mitch for his stay?"

Ashstripe took a few steps forward and joined the ever growing crowd around the loner named Mitch and her clan leader, Moonstar. She was slightly surprised that Moonstar was so willing to allow this loner into the clan. Ashstripe flicked her tail as Volepaw confronted the leader about his choices. "Are you sure you're just going to let this loner into the clan? We're not even sure if we can trust him around the kits and queens let alone everyone else." said Ashstripe.

Gingerclaw stood to his full height. "I will watch the queens, Ashstripe. Volepaw will stay with the elders for the night." He growled, casting Mitch a serious look. The large gray and white tom was a force to be reckoned with, he was not about to let Moonstar not think this through.
Volepaw dipped his head to Gingerclaw and glanced at Ashstripe, she was a brave she-cat. He flicked her shoulder with his tail, lending her confort for the moment.

Ashstripe felt a little reassured now that she knew Gingerclaw and Volepaw was going to watch over the Queens and Elders but she still felt uneasy about Mitch. The gray she-cat's tail lightly twitched. Her yellow eyes scanned the loner before glancing toward the outspoken Volepaw and purred as he flicked her with his gray tail. She closed her soft yellow eyes and turned back to the clan leader and the loner.

"Gingerclaw, must you always judge outsiders?" Silverpool stepped out of the shadows, she looked so much older and more beautiful. Her heart seemed to wither at his feet. She loved a tom that couldn't love her. Moonclaw brushed next to his sister, he smiled at his old friend, "Yes, will you welcome us back?" He asked sarcasticly.
"It's so good to have you back." Moonstar said. At last two fine warriors came home. His happiness was overwhelming, but then he remembered Mitch. "Mitch, I'm very sorry, my clan is unwilling, and is having doubts about my judgment, you will have to sleep out of camp." Mitch nodded, he didn't blame to clan for thinking he was a threat.

"What, who..." He paused. "Humph." Gingerclaw held back a hiss; fury burned in his eyes. His tail lashed as he looked over his friend and his sister, his gaze softened slightly. "Your mousebrained, Moonclaw." He dug his long claws into the ground, glaring at them. Did they have any idea of how much pain they had caused him? How dare they even come back! He was furious and he looked at Moonstar, tail twitching. The old med cat had been killed, and they hadn't been here. They knew nothing of the Clan anymore.
Volepaw smiled at the med cat, she had always been a good friend. He watched Gingerclaw grow enraged and knew the tom's fury, those two had led the Clan to beleive that they had died or deserted.

Moonclaw watched with sorrow. His old friend's face looked tired and stressed. What had he missed that had caused him such pain? Certainly it wasn't them leaving, he wouldn't mourn for Silverpool's abscence, would he? And sorrow for Moonclaw's abscence would only last a little while.
Silverpool looked away from the tom. Gingerclaw was hurting and she couldn't do anything about it. "I guess we really aren't welcome..." She said, her eyes met his. Would he see past her mask of happiness? "you can stay with us, Mitch." She said and started to walk away. Moonclaw stole one last glance at his former clan and then followed his sister.
Moonstar was wise and knew that forcing a clan to function together didn't work. They would learn the hard way, that by being hostile, it would only create more sorrow for themselves. "Are you happy with yourselves? Now that three fine cats are gone? And not just any three cats, one happened to be a best friend to all of us, and one a lost female. And one a strong cat, that could have been as great as Firestar. You do remember him don't you? Rest his soul, he died a great, powerful cat. And he started out as a kittypet." His eyes searched every one of his clan mate's. Did they feel the same guilt he did?

"Yeah thats great, pin the blame on me." Gringerclaw hissed slowly, retracting his claws. "I didn't force them away. I just can't stand seeing them again, thats all. Call them back Moonstar, go ahead. Do it. We have no objections." Great as Firestar, humph. The gray tom hissed and slid away to the medicine cat's den, flicking his tail at Ashstripe as he passed.
Volepaw watched them leave with a sad look in his eyes. "What are you three bird-brains doing?! The only cat who objects is Gingerclaw, and he's worse than a badger in the morning! I'm the only apprentice, so they can all share the den with me until they feel back to themseleves again." The young gray tom was a firey young cat, but he knew the woods would only kill the three cats. "You all belong here." He added, spinning around to face them with brown eyes.

Moonstar pressed his nose in the apprentance's fur. "Your will be a great warrior one day, Volepaw." He picked up his head again and watched the three cats return. "Moonclaw take a few cats on a hunting potrol." Moonclaw nodded, and stalked off towards Gingerclaw.
"Gingerclaw? Whats wrong?" Moonclaw searched for a sign of anger in the cat's eyes. There was anger, but it was false anger, sorrow lay deep within him.
Silverpool nudged Volepaw's shoulder, "Your a good cat." She said with a smile. Some of these cats were unknown to her. Like the medicine cat. She stalked over, slightly protective. She forced the fur on her back to stay down, and her claws to stay sheathed. "You are?"
Mitch nodded to Moonstar and Volepaw then walked around the crowd, greeting and meeting the cats.
