A/N: Guest,
Hmm, making characters for the alley cat clan, I never thought of doing that before, but that's actually a really good idea, I love it!
Luna/Dark sounds pretty hardcore! She will definitely pop up when they encounter the alley cats again.
"Hey! Get up lazy bones, let's go see Sagewind's kits!"
Parsleypaw groaned, and turned over to look at his brother.
"What about Tarragonstrike?"
"What about him?" Fennelpaw asked.
Parsleypaw rolled his eyes, and got to his paws.
"You know how much he hates me, I doubt he wants me around his kits."
"Well, it's a good thing he's not here right now, he went on the dawn patrol with Whitenose and Pebblepaw."
"Well," Parsleypaw gave his leg a quick lick, "If Tarragonstrike isn't here to claw my pelt off, I guess we can go see the kits."
"Awesome, let's go!"
The two cats padded out of the apprentice's den, and towards the nursery.
"It looks like we're the only ones awake," Parsleypaw remarked, noticing that the camp seemed awfully quiet.
"Hmm, Ivytail's awake, she's on camp guard duty," Fennelpaw meowed, nodding his head over to to fluffy brown she-cat.
As though she could feel their eyes on her, she turned around to face them.
"What are you two doing out of your nests so early? You're not on patrol."
"We're going to see Sagewind's kits!" Fennelpaw exclaimed.
Ivytail flicked her tail, and let out a small sigh.
"Okay, but if she's asleep, don't bother her."
"We won't, promise!"
"Well, we might if you keep shouting," Parsleypaw hissed in his brother's ear.
"Oops, sorry!" Fennelpaw looked sheepish, and then whispered, "Sorry."
With a small purr of amusement, Parsleypaw shook his head, and continued towards the nursery.
"I'll go in first, and make sure she's awake," Fennelpaw meowed, when they reached the edge of the bushes, that worked as a border to the nursery.
"Okay," Parsleypaw meowed, watching the flash of his brother's tail, as he disappeared into the bushes.
Moments later, he popped back out with a gleam in his eyes.
"She's awake, and there's four of them, two toms, and two she-cats."
"I'm going to go look."
Parsleypaw made his way through the bushes, and padded up to Sagewind and her kits.
Fennelpaw was right, there were four of them, one that was light brown and fluffy, like Sagewind, a fluffy white one, a non-fluffy white one, and a non-fluffy light brown one with darker points.
"Get away from my kits!" Sagewind yowled.
Parsleypaw flattened his ears against his head, and cowered beneath the queen's glare, he knew Sagewind had a temper, but he had never heard her sound so furious.
"I-I'm sorry, I just wanted to see them."
"I don't want you anywhere near them, do you think I want them to end up dead like Tansyheart?"
"But I-"
"Leave now!"
Sagewind leaned over her kits, and swiped at his muzzle with her claws extended, pain seared through his face, and he backed up, turned around, and tore out of the nursery.
"Hey, what's wrong?" he heard Fennelpaw call after him. However, he just ignored him, and he continued to run until he was back in the apprentice's den.
He didn't know what he would do, no one wanted him there, except maybe Fennelpaw. Even if they didn't say it out loud, the looks they constantly gave him, told him that they all blamed him for what happened to Tansyheart.
He shook his head, and looked down at his paws. Even before the incident though, they were always telling him to go to FlowerClan, they never wanted him there.
"Hey, what happened?"
Parsleypaw looked up, and saw his brother standing there with a look of concern on his face.
"I've made a decision, I'm leaving the clan."
"What?" Fennelpaw's eyes grew wide, and he shook his head, "You can't leave the clan! This is your home!"
Parsleypaw shook his head.
"I don't belong here, you know that, the clan would be much better off without me."
"Well, if you're going, then I'm going."
"What? No, you can't come with me!" Parsleypaw exclaimed with a small hiss of surprise.
He would have loved to have his brother come with him, but he knew that the clan needed him more. After all, unlike him, Fennelpaw was a future warrior that the clan could be proud of. He was fearless, and kind, and not too shabby of a hunter.
He also knew that Fennelpaw has dreamed of being a warrior, and eventually the leader, ever since they were small kits, and he couldn't be the one to take that dream away from him.
"You're my brother, do you think I'm going to let you go out there alone? Especially with those alley cats out there?"
"Clan before blood," Parsleypaw meowed, repeating what he had often heard growing up.
"Well, you're my blood AND part of my clan, which means I can come with you," Fennelpaw meowed.
"That doesn't make sense, because if I leave, then I won't be part of the clan anymore," Parsleypaw meowed.
He wished his brother was right, he'd do next to anything to have him come with him, but he knew that he'd eventually end up resenting him, and not only that, Fennelpaw was meant to be a warrior.
"We can make our own clan, a clan without bullies like Tarragonstrike," Fennelpaw meowed with his eyes gleaming.
"The warrior code deems that there are only to be four clans in the forest, or something like that."
"I have an idea! We can overthrow the leader of the alley cat clan, and teach all the other cats in the clan to be nice! Then, we can bring them back here to join HerbClan, and after everyone sees what we did, they won't hate you anymore!"
Parsleypaw narrowed his eyes.
"That's a mouse brained idea! Those alley cats can't be reasoned with, they tore Tansyheart to shreds without batting an eye, besides, how will we overthrow the leader? Whoever they are, they're probably heavily guarded. Not to mention, even if we do manage to overthrow the leader, the other cats probably won't want to listen to a couple of apprentices."
"We can get help from other clans, like Buckspring from FlowerClan-"
"I doubt Buckspring will ever want to go near the twoleg place again," Parsleypaw meowed, cutting him off.
"I know who will want to help though, Gladepaw, you know, that crippled cat from FlowerClan? He never leaves their camp, I bet he's just dying to go on an adventure."
"Well, I'm not dying to lead him to his death," Parsleypaw muttered. He figured that a monster would probably squish Gladepaw like a flea before he even managed to cross the thunder path.
"Hmm, you're right, what about Fadedpaw from DarkClan? He never looks very happy whenever I see him."
"A DarkClan member? I don't think so!" Parsleypaw exclaimed, feeling his fur stand on end.
"He's just a little one, I bet even you could take him on if it came to it."
"Thank you, I appreciate your faith in me," Parsleypaw muttered flatly.
"You're welcome, now, when are we leaving?"
"Where are you going?"
Parsleypaw bristled, and turned around to look at Pebblepaw.
"You're back, how was patrol?" Fennelpaw asked with a nervous meow.
"Don't try to change the subject, where are you going?" Pebblepaw demanded with her green eyes blazing.
"Uhh, to make dirt, yeah, to make dirt," Fennelpaw meowed.
Pebblepaw rolled her eyes, and let out a sigh of annoyance.
"You've always been a really bad liar, now, where are we really going?"
"We? Oh no, you're not coming with us!" Fennelpaw exclaimed.
"Yeah, it's too dangerous, besides, the elders need at least one apprentice to look after them," Parsleypaw remarked.
"Wait, so that means you want me to come with you?" Fennelpaw asked.
Parsleypaw sighed and shook his head.
"Do I really have a choice? You're going to come whether I say to or not, aren't you?"
"You bet your tail I am!"
"I'm coming too," Pebblepaw meowed defiantly.
"No way! Valleyfrost will have my pelt if anything happens to his daughter!"
"Ooh, so it's dangerous?" Pebblepaw narrowed her eyes, "I love the sound of danger in the morning."
"Too bad for you, because you're not going," Fennelpaw meowed.
"Yes I am, either I'm coming, or I'm telling the whole clan."
"You wouldn't dare," Parsleypaw gasped. Pebblepaw didn't really seem like the type to blab.
"Wanna bet?" she turned around, and walked towards the entrance of the apprentice's den, "Val-"
Fennelpaw clamped his paw over her mouth, and pulled her back into the den.
"Fine!" he hissed, "You can come."
He looked at Parsleypaw,
"She can come, can't she?"
"I don't think we really have a choice," he relented with a sigh.
"Yes," Pebblepaw muttered with excitement under her breath.
"Well, we better get going then," Fennelpaw meowed.
"Where are you three off to?" Ivytail meowed, when they reached the entrance of the camp.
"To mak-"
"Don't say to make dirt," Pebblepaw hissed in Fennelpaw's ear.
"To make sure the borders are extra secure, Whitenose said she thought she smelled a fox," she then meowed.
"A fox?" Ivytail's eyes widened, "Should we alert the clan?"
"No, Tarragonstrike and I didn't smell anything, but I just want to make extra sure."
"So, why are all three of you going there together without a warrior?"
"We didn't want to bother them, you know, they work so hard, and we won't be going far."
That's not true, Parsleypaw thought to himself, he wasn't about to say that out loud though.
"Fine," Ivytail relented with a sigh, moving out of the way, to let the three apprentices out.
"Awesome! We're out, now we can go!" Fennelpaw exclaimed, once they were far away enough from the camp, that they wouldn't be heard.
"Yeah, we can go," Parsleypaw meowed, without much enthusiasm.
"I still think we should invite Buckspring and Fadedpaw, it would be a good idea, to have more cats with us, especially a medicine cat, if we're going through with the plan," Fennelpaw meowed.
"What's the plan?" Pebblepaw asked.
"We'll tell you once we get out of the territory," Parsleypaw meowed, he wasn't sold on this whole taking over the leader of the alley cats thing, but once his brother had his heart set on something, he couldn't be convinced otherwise.
"Wait," Fennelpaw stopped in his tracks.
Could he be changing his mind? Parsleypaw wondered, he hated to think it, but he hoped so.
"We can't just go strolling onto FlowerClan territory asking for Buckspring, I mean, FlowerClan may be pretty mouse-hearted when it comes to fighting, but they still send out border patrols, and if we get caught by a border patrol, it could get back to the camp, everything will be ruined!"
"What do you suggest we do then?" Parsleypaw meowed.
"We can find a way to sneak in," Pebblepaw suggested.
Fennelpaw shook his head.
"I think the only sure fire way to get to Buckspring is through Russetpaw," Fennelpaw meowed, speaking of Fadingspot's newly appointed apprentice.
"No way! Russetpaw is way too grumpy and bossy!" Pebblepaw exclaimed.
"It's the only way, we can have Russetpaw bring some catmint to give to Buckspring."
"That's dumb, since when does HerbClan go out of their way to help another clan? We always wait for them to come crawling to us for help," Pebblepaw pointed out.
"Well, what do you suggest we do then if you're so clever?" Fennelpaw spat with the fur on the back of his neck rising.
"Buckspring has to come out soon to collect herbs right? I'll hide outside the FlowerClan border, and wait for him to come out, while you two figure out a way to get Fadedpaw," she meowed.
"That's actually not a bad idea," Fennelpaw tapped Parsleypaw with his tail, "Come on."
Parsleypaw sighed and reluctantly followed his brother.
"Are you sure it's a good idea to invite Fadedpaw? Mixing with DarkClan will only bring trouble."
"Yes, besides, if we're going to take on the alley cat clan leader, it will be a good thing to have someone with DarkClan's fighting skills by our side.
"That's actually not a bad idea, but how do you suggest we get to him?"
"That is something that we will have to figure out when we get there," Fennelpaw meowed.
Parsleypaw's pelt prickled with apprehension, as they neared the DarkClan territory. Images of cats shredding him with their claws, and tearing at his pelt with their teeth, raced through his mind.
"Wait, I think I see him!" Fennelpaw hissed.
"Where is he going?" Parsleypaw asked, watching the small grey and black cat make his way towards the thunderpath.
"I don't know, let's follow him," Fennelpaw meowed.
Even though Fadedpaw wasn't very big, Parsleypaw still felt fear grip at his being, as he followed Fennelpaw to the apprentice.
Suddenly, Fennelpaw stopped in his tracks, and Parsleypaw, not able to stop in time, slammed into him.
"Look," Fennelpaw meowed, not at all phased by the collision.
Parsleypaw shook his head, waiting for his vision to stop swimming, before gazing at what Fennelpaw was pointing at with his tail.
"I must be dreaming," he muttered, he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
"If you're seeing Fadedpaw talking to a dog like they're old friends, then I'm having the same dream as you," Fennelpaw meowed.
Parsleypaw shook his head, not only was Fadedpaw a DarkClan warrior, but he must have been a deranged DarkClan warrior, after all, what sane cat would willingly go up to a dog?
"Hey, look who I got."
Pebblepaw's voice caused Parsleypaw to jump with surprise, and he turned around to face her.
"Hey Buckspring," he meowed, letting his fur lay flat.
"Hey Parsleypaw, how are things in HerbClan? No signs of greencough I hope."
"No, what about in FlowerClan?" he asked, momentarily forgetting about Fadedpaw.
"It's okay, though, Flutterwing has a cough, I'm worried she might be coming down with greencough, but I hope not, I'm not sure if I'm ready to be a full fledged medicine cat," Buckspring meowed.
"I'm sure Fluttershy will be fine," Pebblepaw meowed.
"Flutterwing, and I hope so."
"Come on guys, let's go to WaterClan!" Fennelpaw exclaimed, padding over to them. Parsleypaw's pelt bristled, when he saw that Fadedpaw was with him.
"WaterClan? Why WaterClan?" Parsleypaw asked. Weren't they already calling enough attention to themselves by taking three other cats? One of those cats who happened to be a medicine cat apprentice.
"I just remembered that Splashpaw might want to come, she constantly feels outshined by her brother, and overlooked by her parents," Fennelpaw meowed.
"How do you know all the going ons of cats in other clans?" Pebblepaw asked.
"Yeah, I'm a medicine cat apprentice, and even I don't know that much," Buckspring meowed.
"I like to mingle," Fennelpaw shrugged, like it was no big idea.
"But isn't that breaking the warrior code?" Fadedpaw meowed.
Though his voice was soft and light, it sent shivers down Parsleypaw's spine.
Fennelpaw shook his head.
"The whole purpose of gatherings is so cats can mingle with other cats, and to share news."
"I agree with Fennelpaw, we should invite Splashpaw, or just any cat from WaterClan," Buckspring meowed.
"Why?" Parsleypaw asked ,finding his voice, despite the absolute terror he felt.
"Think about it, WaterClan is going through a hard time right now, if cats from all clans except WaterClan go missing, then the other clans might think WaterClan took us, or something, to make their clan stronger, and that would-"
"Create unnessasary strife," Fadedpaw finished for him.
"Exactly!"
"So, are we going to go invite Splashpaw?" Fennelpaw meowed.
"It seems like the best course of action," Buckspring answered.
Even though he didn't like the idea of having so many cats travel with him, Parsleypaw knew that Buckspring had a good point.
"Let's invite her," he meowed.
"Alright! Let's do this!" Fennelpaw exclaimed, flicking his tail up with joy.
"You lead the way, we'll come up with a plan to get to her without anyone noticing," Pebblepaw meowed.
Parsleypaw sighed, and padded alongside the Pebblepaw, making sure to keep his distance from Fadedpaw. Something about him, other than the fact that he was a DarkClan apprentice, and the fact that he was being friendly with a dog, made his fur stand on end.
He just hoped that whatever it was, it wouldn't lead to any deaths.
Here's an oc form if you want to make a character who is the future offspring of an existing character.
It can be any of my own characters, as for the characters of other people, I will have to ask them, and then I will let you know.
Thank you :)
