Swirlstar pushed the toms forward with her tail "come on then" she meowed starting to pad down the entrance to the camp. The toms walked side by side ready to defend them selves if needed.
The three cats looked up as two loners padded into their camp, Swirlstar beside them. Shadowheart got up from where she was sharing tongues with flame paw. "Who are they?" she asked gesturing with her tail.
"I am bramble tail" the bracken coloured tom meowed and then gestured with his tail to the light grey tom with a white underbelly and paws. "This is my brother stone pool" the light grey tom dipped his head.
"I found them starving" Swirlstar replied "They were looking for shelter and food, I told them they could stay here for a while but they will be watched with caution so they don't pull any tricks"
Swirlstar lead the toms over to the unused elders den. "You two will stay here, I will get the apprentice to bring you some food and water soon" she padded back out of the hole in the wall and went over to flame paw. "Get them some fresh kill and water" she meowed.
Flamepaw dipped her head before rushing off to the fresh kill pile to get the toms some prey. Swirlstar crouched down her head full of questions, what would she do if these toms attacked, if they were stronger than she thought they was.
Shadowheart's voice came from beside her "They won't" she meowed "You can clearly see they are not healthy enough, if anything they would want to join the clan"
Swirlstar nodded "They could and that might bring us kits, but that is there choice but for now we must see if we can trust them before thinking about them joining us"
Shadowheart nodded "We won't keep watches" swirlstar continued "That might intimidate them and that might scare them off, however we need to watch them while working around the clan, just to be safe. Keep Tiger kit in sight at all times, they might be kit stealers for all we know"
Shadowheart nodded and padded off to find Tigerkit. Swirlstar licked her paw and drew it over her ear doing this a couple of times before she padded over to the elders den. She poked her head inside "Is everything alright?" she asked the two toms as they were eating there mice in famished gulps.
They nodded life coming back into there eyes as they filled there bellies. She smiled as she heard stone pool start to purr. Maybe they weren't dangers and they could trust them. She shock her head, she couldn't make a judgement so early on. All they were doing was eating and purring she thought to her self.
As the toms finished eating they slowly got up and padded to the fresh new moss bedding made for them. They curled up the sun setting out side letting rays of sun into the rock hollow making stone pool's fur shimmer. She smiled at him as he slowly fell asleep before padding out of the den into the clearing of the camp.
She stared up at the sky as stars began to come out "Starclan could these cats be what we were waiting for to start out clan?" she asked. A star shot past the sky leaving Swirlstar wondering if these cats were truly going to help there clan.
