Hawksun9592 - Okay, I'll go ahead and just pick from the OCs you submit.

Also, Oh.My.StarcCan., have y'all seen how big FlameClan is? I mean that's the whole point, but like, keeping up with it is just... tiring.

So from now on I'll put a pause on OCs for FlameClan (other then the kits that queens will have! Please send in OCs for every queen in FlameClan that is expecting, since most of them didn't say how many kits or give BIOs for those.)

And I'll be accepting just any Oc for CanopyClan or SaltClan, or just housepets or loners/rogues.

Not only that - I want to know something. Do you guys want me to keep this PG rated - or go a bit darker into this story? I will let you all decide, idc what happens at the rating, but I need to know for upcoming chapters.

Smallbee watched as the new warriors were welcomed into the Clan. Their names chanted, just as hers would've been in SaltClan. Yes, she was welcomed here, but only a a queen and nothing more.

Twitching her tail she dipped her head to Dirtclaw. The tom had earned his name over his last few days as an apprentice, taking on a patrol of CanopyClan cats that were to close to the border.

Icaruswind welcomed the tom with a wide grin. The two were close, and she had noticed that since he became a warrior and left Dirtclaw as an apprentice that the two spent less time together. Now they'll go back to being close friends.

"How's the young'n?" Dirtclaw asked. His ears flicked as he shook out his off coloured pelt.

Sitting down she swept her tail at her side. Still avoiding the gaze of her paired mate, who sat more silently now that she was here. Guilt bristled off his pelt, paws scuffling as he shifted on the stone.

Smallbee lifted her muzzle. The small golden kit was bright for her age, and very interested in practicing her skills in hunting. It was a good sign, something that she hoped to see for Pollenkit. "Good, actually. Pollenkit will make a better warrior then some around here." She meowed.

The tom nodded. He stayed quiet as another group of newly made warriors loudly walked over to the group of three. One tom, Hawkstripe, padded up to them with his nose pointed into the air.

"Bet your real sad that you had been paired with those losers right now, huh?" The tom spoke with such confidence it hurt.

Smallbee snorted. She had delt with this before, and that ended his life, blood spilling into the dirt. Unsheathing her claws she lifted her gaze up to him, ears flattening back down to her head. "Big words for someone with such a smal- ow!"

Teeth pulled at her tail as she glared over her shoulder. Eyes burning into Icaruswind who held the tip of her tail in his mouth. She lashed her tail to her side, eyes narrowing as she growled lowly.

The tom spat out her tail before standing at her side. Although he avoided her gaze he did glare down Hawkstripe, pulling Smallbee closer to his side. "Back off," he growled, "don't forget you are still younger and less experience then me."

Hawkstripe snorted before turning and heading off. It didn't take to long before he was trying to butt into a group of queens, boosting about his last battle.

"The nerve!" Huffed Dirtclaw, even he seemed ruffled as he smoothed down his shoulder fur.

Agreeing she could already feel her claws digging into fur. How easy would it be to have him gone? Just out of the picture so that she didn't have to deal with his constant nagging.

Fluffing out her pelt against a sudden breeze she sighed. Ears flicking as she raised to her paws. "I'm going back to the den." She mewed.

Icaruswind blinked down at her. With the sudden calmness gone he nodded softly, sitting down as he sighed. "Do you want me to bring something for you to eat?"

"I can grab it on my way," she growled before slinking off. She didn't need him to bring her anything!

I have my own four feet. Smallbee lashed her tail. How dare he even think that she needed him? As a friend it was great having him around, even as a mate at first it was all normal. But now? Well, now she was forced to have kits. And both him and Ashtooth are just going along with it!

Dragging her tail she sighed heavily. Her ears twitched uncomfortably as she slugged down to look at the fresh-kill-pile. Did she even want to eat anymore? Rocking on her paws she heard something move at her side, and she blinked as a flash of white fur disappeared from her view.
