[.x.]Gathering 'Round[.x.]

[.:\\S h a t t e r e d//:.]

Main Reasons & Background:
ShadowClan has a new leader, Ruinstone, but he has not yet received his name. Cats are going to yowl and protest because he was named deputy right before HeatherStar [former leader] died. Iceheart is the main cat who is going to object, but Stoneclaw is going to back Ruinstone up. At this ceremony Ruinstone is going to ask Iceheart to be his deputy. Iceheart says yes, he gets deputy. And Stoneclaw is getting his warrior name because he was Ruinstone's apprentice named Stonepaw. So Ruin thinks he's ready so yeah. Now, let's get to the rping. Sorry I just wanted this to run smoothly... Rememeber about this "Rising Action" I'm thinking of a plot and this may be the first step of it........

A black tom, a tuxedo cat, walked out of "his" den. Lifting his head high pain grasped his heart and didn't let go. Weakly he whispered, "All cats, young and old, come around." When he noticed that no one listened to him. He scrambled up on top of Marsh Stone and then licked his chest a few times. He gasped for air as he then looked at the others anxiously. This time, remembering the beautiful she-cat that was dead in his den he spoke up... For her... "Those who could catch their own prey, come around Marsh Stone for a Clan meeting." He looked at his paws, his mind wandering as he felt responsible for the death of Heartherstar. Ruinstone's mind flashed back, as he found himself looking at what had happened on that night...

I was panting, the rain was drenching my pelt as I looked at the rogue in awe wonder. She was beautiful, graceful, dangerous... Heatherstar was walking towards her, calm as she asked what was going on. 'Do you question me?' The rogue screamed in Heatherstar's ears. I was frozen as the she-cat, white and fluffy, struck my leader on the neck. Heatherstar did not move to protect herself. When I screamed in anger my green eyes flashed at that beautiful rogue, her face was a perfect oval, round and beautiful in general. Her green eyes looked into mine as she smiled, and whispered deadly, 'My name is Memories. Remember me...' Of course I would remember her, she was the most beautiful cat that I had ever seen. I was in a day dream until Heatherstar weakly called, "Ruinstone." My attention went from Memories to Heatherstar, I looked at my leader die. And I did nothing. I could do nothing in my power to save her. Heatherstar whispered, weak with the pain of losing her ninth life, "Ruinstone.. Memories. Sister. To. Me.... StarClan, wants, you, to, be, leader. Ruinstar. Leader. Do, not, kill Memories, no matter. What. Please. Ruinstar. Please. Leader. No, kill. Memories. Please... Ruinsta-" and with those final words Heatherstar died. I tensed, as I began to sob... Heaterstar, was dead.

Ruinstone tensed, as he remembered the final words. He braced himself for the shock from Heather- no his clan. He looked down, wondering when the cats would start coming and questioning him.[/size][/color]

( i hope u meant me when you said stoneclaw...)
Stonepaw came out of his den as his leader called a meeting. He was about to become a warrior and he couldnt have had a better mentor to train him. He knew he was ready. He sat down. He had just finished cleaning his pelt so that he would look nice at the ceremony. He waited for his mentor/leader to speak.

There was a thud as the large body leaped over the camp wall. He was too big for it, ever since he got here. The massive tom's powerful, war-like body floated across the ground, crunch of the snow the only noise his paws made. Iceheart padded up beside Stonepaw, but addresed the tom ontop of Marsh Stone. " Ruinstone," His voice was sleek and slithering, cold as it always was." Why are you there? Where is Heatherstar?" His sharp, icy eyes bore into Ruinstone's, but not in an unfriendly manner. Just the norm for a gaint, tiger-pelted tom. His snow white- midnight black pelt shimmered, rippling with strong muscle. There was no getting away from Iceheart. No fighting him. No resisting.

Stonepaw stared at his deputy, and then at his leader. Where was Heatherstar? He wondered. Why had he not thought before? He waited for his leader's reply...
