Chapter 4 Stormcloud- WindClan
I walked around aimlessly looking for something to do. I eventually settled on looking for allies. As I looked I saw it. That black loner talking with Blackthorn of ThunderClan. That loner seemed smart. Everyone knew that Blackthorn had a little power behind his claws. The two seemed to be in a heated discussion. Dark? Was that her name? Well anyways she had that stupid smirk on her face. She was the likely cat to dominate, so if she's on my side I could get back to Crimsonfur.
Just before I got mixed up in the mouse-brained games, Crimsonfur and I had started growing close. It was him future deputy or Lightstreak. And since Lightstreak is in the games with me we all know how that relationship is going to work out. He wanted me to come home and I wasn't going to disappoint him. I love you Crimsonfur, I murmured to myself. I purred at the thought of the dark ginger tom. Blackthorn walked away and Dark pushed her way through the cats. Occasionally stopping to answer questions with a smile. I found myself smiling when she smiled; her real smile was nice, pretty, kind of sweet. And she was headed towards… Snake! This she-cat knows how to pick 'em. I had to get to her first. I followed in her wake at a decent pace. I caught up with her and tapped her with my tail. She turned around and flashed one of her dazzling smiles.
"Hi, I'm Dark and you are Storm…?" She paused in thought.
"Cloud. Stormcloud." I finished for her.
"Oh, right, pleasure to meet you so what can I do for you?" I dropped the cute act and cut to the chase.
"I know you're making a pack of allies, the badgers of course," I stopped to roll my eyes. "I want in." She dropped the smiley look and narrowed her pretty blue eyes and looked me over.
"Congratulations. Consider yourself in." I felt myself wearing a smile. "Listen I want Mistfur on our team. Talk to him for me?" I nodded slightly as I tried to remember who Mistfur was. "ShadowClan, tabby, dark gray, bluish tinge?" Dark prompted. Soon an image began to form in my mind. He had become a warrior two moons before me. So he was about 19 moons. And away I went searching through a sea of what felt like dark gray toms.
Soon I found him in a cluster of senior warriors. He nodded but looked flustered as information flooded in from every angle. He may as well been drowning. He was more likely to survive that. I decided to cut in so he would have time to breathe and actually absorb the information, and so he would join our ally group.
"So Mistfur, Are you looking for allies?" He stood dazed for a moment still running through the information.
"Oh hi, Storm something…."
"Cloud. Stormcloud!" I finished quite agitated I had never known that my name was so hard to remember.
"Yeesh, sorry. No, I'm really confident in my ability to survive."
I was a skeptic. "Really?"
What came next probably came from not enough down time. He blew up.
"I'll get allies in the games. I've watched from the puddle in camp. I don't want to be the loser whose allies die in the bloodbath then they panic strickenly grieve and get killed in their sleep!" By the end of his short speech, he was breathing heavy and clawing a hole in the soft earth and dead golden grass. Flames of anger danced wildly in his angry glistening yellow eyes.
"Well, alright then." I said calmly backing away slowly from the seething rage that had become Mistfur. "I'm just going to go over there?" I said nervously and sprinted for my life. I was about to go find Dark an let her know her wanna be ally nearly bit my head off when Darkstripe's yowl cut through the air.
"Shut up idiotic cats, Thistleclaw's turn to talk!" The dark forest tom stepped back. Thistleclaw stepped up leering.
"You little finches had your chitter-chatter time. Now it's time to see what our tributes have to say. Violettail!" With a sigh and a deep breath Violettail leapt up next to the Dark forest toms as they faded in to a shadow and were replaced by a she-cat with pale gray fur, it was silver in the soft moonlight. She was lean and delicate with long glinting pure white sharp claws. Her fur was long and fluffy and it clung neatly to her body, giving her a thin silhouette that emphasized her long legs. Her tail was sleek and pointed with a tuft of perfectly groomed fur at the end. She was beautiful. She was more than beautiful, she was perfect. Image the most beautiful she-cat you've ever seen in your life, then think 5 times as pretty. She was simply perfect. I was struck by her beauty. She must have done some terrible in her lifetime to end up in the Dark forest. She died to come and train in the Dark Forest. You could tell she had that glint in those ice blue eyes. She was gorgeous but she gave me the creeps. She giggled lightly; her voice was sweet and perfect just like her appearance.
"Hello, and welcome to the Survival Games interviews. I'm your host Streamstep." She faced the light brown tabby. "So Violettail, I understand that ThunderClan is the closest knit clan. What's it like going into these games against your Clanmates?"
Violettail though unsure what to say. Streamstep laughed it was a lovely sound, "Oh come on you can tell us. I don't bite, and claws are sheathed for interviews." She held up a delicate shining paw. The joke seemed to lighten the mood and the ThunderClan warrior loosened up.
"Well at first I was honored, then the world shattered. I mean, I'll try but I'm walking to my doom." I light laughter rippled through the crowds seeing Violettail's joking smile. Streamstep and Violettail continued for a while and by the end I was very sure Violettail had sponsor's in all clans. On they went. Goldtoe told a sob story about how his brother was the only one left in his family and would be all alone unless he came home from the games. Blackthorn I was surprised to find out is 18 moons. His large size gave him the appearance of being older. Palesky said a bit about her decent knowledge of herbs and how she had planned on becoming Grassleap's apprentice and becoming ThunderClan's next medicine cat. This brought a wail from the crowds. They all loved medicine cat apprentices. They were so important. Cloudtuft, Cloudtuft I snorted I could never get over his name, talked about stealth and picking up on old SkyClan habits. And ShadowClan went next.
Streamstep is mine! Property of Skystar5. The other cats you can use the names just don't use the same descriptions and personalities PLEASE! And review for crying out loud! I know you're reading this thing. I see that you're reading/viewing it. Is it good? Bad? Write faster? Sponsor a cat! Review!
