Shadow grumbled as he was led up a narrow ledge which spread into a small cliff. You could see a small den cut into the stone, and Shadow guessed it was the leaders den. "DewStar?" StormPelt asked patiently. "Come in StormPelt" called a voice from behind the cover of litchen.
Before padding in, StormPelt shot Shadow a piercing stare with cold green eyes. "i dare you to misbehave" he seemed to say.
Shadow however didn't bat an eye. But he made a mental note that the leaders received a lot of respect from the rest of their clanmates. Shadow sighed as he stood in front of the curtain of plants. Let's get this over with so I can see WolfWhisper again
Shadow followed StormPelt into the small dimly lit den. Once they had made it inside Shadow found himself facing a small light-brown she~cat with darker brown-markings. Her eyes were inquisitive but didn't betray any anger. Shadow awkwardly dipped his head This is what WolfWhisper said you do to leaders right? Once he lifted his chin he sat down infront of her.
"You're far more courteous than most other loners. How do you know about clan ways?" She spoke in a questioning tioning tone. "I- er um uh" Shadow cleared his throat Pull yourself together idiot! "I simply assumed the leaders receive respect. Was I wrong to dip my head?" Shadow asked cooly.
DewStar raised an eyebrow but didn't insist. "First of all I don't believe that I have introduced myself yet. I am DewStar, Leader of ThunderClan. Who might you be?" Her tone is filled with authority Shadow observed. "I am Shadow. I am a Loner but my backstory is not important now." Shadow noticed a spark of curiosity form in DewStar's eyes. Though it vanished quickly.
"Very well, let's get down to business, what happened with WolfWhisper?" I can't let her know I've been meeting up with her each day, that could get her in trouble "I was simply strolling through the territory minding my own business when I heard a distraught wail from the lake. I rushed over and found I can't let her know one of them escaped 2 rather large Toms and WolfWhisper.
One of them was pinning her down by the head with unsheathed claws, whereas the other was….going to fulfill his |Shadow cleared his throat| "Intentions."
Shadow continued as DewStar focused her pine-green eyes on him in interest "I would never let that happen to any She~Cat, even if I didn't know her. I attacked them and got… carried away. I may have… ended them both." DewStars eyes widened in surprise. "You killed 2 large Rogue toms by yourself?!" "Like I said before I got carried away. When I walked back to WolfWhisper she was unconscious and loosing alot of blood. So I carried her, and wandered around for a bit before finding a scent trail that led to your camp. Now she's in the medicine den.
DewStar nodded intently seems like she had believed his story, it was true just that Shadow had… modified it a bit. DewStar nodded in understanding taking a step out of her nest to sit in front of him, her tail curled neatly over her paws. "Well Shadow, what would I be able to offer you in return for your bravery?" Shadow tried to swallow the lump in his throat. I'm doing this for you WolfWhisper
Shadow stood up tall and locked his eyes with DewStar's "I would like to join ThunderClan" He stated firmly
