Waterfall the Writer-I guess it is that way in a way, if that's how you want to see it.


Bloodclan Rules

1. Each cat may have up to three meals a day, as prey is scarce. Extra prey caught or food found will be kept at the fresh-kill pile stored in the leader's alley. Only expecting queens may have more meals.

2. The leader's words are law.

3. Trespassers must be chased out of our territory, unless they have permission to or wish to join. If they wish to join, bring them to the leader's alley.

4. A healer's herb storage may not be messed with as the herbs may help a cat in times of need. The cat in need could very easily be you.

5. Foodwatchers are forbidden to take food from the fresh-kill pile. Either the head foodwatcher or the leader can choose which cats can take from the food pile.

6. Parents must train their kits. If a kit wish to be train by another cat, they must have that cat's permission. If a cat other than the kit's parents wish to train the kit, they must have the kit's agreement.

7. Any rules broken can result to a dire punishment decided by the leader.

8. Killing a cat is not allowed. You may however, defend yourself.

Additional Rules Known to Certain Cats(usually taught from Mentor to Apprentice)

Leaders must try to find cats that will care for the clan like it is their kin if you wish for them to be the next leader. You must try to be as unbeatable as possible as you may have many challenges. Your second-in-commend is the cat that will help you in your leadership, feelings should not be the judge of that. Leaders must learn to know if a cat is lying or not.

Like the Leaders, Head Foodwatchers must learn if a cat is lying or not. They may not be a gluttony cat. They must also help the needy for food.

Roles in Bloodclan

Leader-the top of Bloodclan. The cat must watch over and manage for his or her clan. The leader may be replaced by his or her apprentice. The apprentice is trained in how to manage Bloodclan, fighting techniques, breaking up fights if they have to, look though a cat's intention, etc. After the apprentice has learn all he could, he can challenge the current leader for the position. The apprentice is never the leader until they defeat the leader.

Second-in-command/deputy-The deputy looks over the clan with the leader. The cat can give advice to the leader and listens what is going on in the clan and reports to the leader. The second-in-command usually changes with the leader, as a different cat takes on the role. Sometimes the deputy goes to being a guard.

Head Foodwatchers/Foodwatchers-Foodwatchers watch over the fresh-kill pile, to ensure that other cats in the clan would not take the food. Head Foodwatchers can choose a foodwatcher to train them as the next Head Foodwatcher. There is always at least one Foodwatcher in the hunting party to the forest.

Healers-These cat gather herbs for treatment. Healers identify and treat injuries and illnesses in the clan.

Guards-Guards are excellent fighters in Bloodclan. They are often the most trusted cats in the clan and can be rather close to the leader and second-in-command.

Fighters-Fighters are cats expected to help the clan in some way. They can patrol the territory or go in a hunting party into the forest. If they have proven themselves well, the leader or second-in-command may raise their rank to guard. They may also be foodwatchers and healers.

Queens/Sick cats/Elderly-These cats are to be taken care of as they had helped the clan. If no cats bring them food, foodwatchers are expected to bring food to them.


Of Bloodclan Again

"Nightfrost?" his brother asked, standing at the end of Bloodclan territory with his mate.

"Firestar? What are you doing here with Sandstorm?" Nightfrost asked, standing with two Bloodclanners. The small group was patrolling the edges of Bloodclan territory when they encountered the two Thunderclanners.

"Err...I don't know if I can talk about it..." Firestar mumbled, eyeing the two cats with him.

Nightfrost flicked his tail. "Snap, Rock, you two can continue patrolling without me."

The two cat glance at each other. "But Nightfrost, are you sure about this?"

"It'll be alright. This is my brother, Firestar, leader of Thunderclan."

The patrolling cat stared at him with worried faces and left. Firestar let out the breath he had been holding.

"Bloodclan sure have changed. They used to be much more bloodthirsty than before. Honestly, I thought I would have been ripped to shreds earlier," Firestar mewed.

"Is this alright, Firestar?"

The Thunderclan leader nodded. "Yes, brother..."

"Why are you here? Don't you have Thunderclan to worry about?"

Sandstorm and Firestar turned to each, as if knowing what the other is thinking. "It may sound silly, but we're on a journey to find the fifth clan, Skyclan."

Nightfrost twitched his ear. "Skyclan? I thought there were only four clans."

Firestar looked uncertain."Well, a Skyclan leader came to me for help in my dreams, asking me to bring back Skyclan. I thought I'd accept it, to right a wrong."

Nightfrost tilted his head. "You are a leader, not a healer. You are meant to protect your people at the best you can. So it's no surprise that you won't know what to do until you face it."

Firestar nodded, understanding. "So how is Thunderclan?" Nightfrost asked, tail twitching in anticipation.

"Thunderclan is much better now there less fighting between clan, though the forest is still dangerous. Willowpelt was killed by a badger," Sandstorm mewed.

Nightfrost's tail dropped. "Whitestorm and their kits will be sad for her death..."

"And a couple days ago, Longtail lost his sight," Firestar muttered sadly. The warrior had proven himself to be a true warrior, all for it to be lost by his sight.

"I feel bad for Cinderpelt. She's bearing his kits after all." Sandstorm looked to the ground.

"What of Yellowfang? She should be doing what she can to help Longtail," Nightfrost mewed.

"Well, Yellowfang has been coughing lately. Nightshimmer is helping her with the medicine cat tasks," Firestar explained, his tail tip twitching.

Nightfrost flicked his ear. "Nightshimmer? Well, I guess it shouldn't be that much of a surprise. As an apprentice, she had always spent much time with Yellowfang. What of everybody else?"

"Every other cat is doing well. Bramblepaw just became a warrior, Brambleclaw. Brightheart is having Cloudtail's kits. Redpaw, Sootpaw, Rainpaw, and Sorrelpaw are training well...Redpaw misses you."

Nightfrost nodded. "I know. I miss him too." The small tom turned to the sky, noticing how far along the sun had completed it's journey. "You should be on your way, Firestar, Sandstorm."

The Thunderclan cats glanced at the sky and nodded. "Goodbye, Nightfrost. Good luck with your clan. May Starclan be with you."

"And in your journey to find Skyclan. Goodbye and good luck, Firestar." The two brothers waved their tails as they each set on different paths. Nightfrost padded though the street, heading to a certain queen.

"Minty, how are the kits?" The Bloodclan asked, waiting outside with a mouse.

The dark-colored she-cat purred thankfully. "They're healthy and well."

The two cats turn to the four kits. Sniff and Icicle play fight. Cloudy and Snowflake played with a small Twoleg ball they had found in the rubbish. Icicle and Sniff tumbled towards them. They landed in front of the black tom's paws.

"Nightfrost! When can we start training?" asked the pale gray tom-kit, getting off his brother. The dark tabby got to his paws.

"As soon as you are of age, Icicle."

Icicle frowned. "You always say that..."

Nighfrost let the tip of his tail touch Icicle's nose. "You are only two moons old, Icicle. I would wait until you are five moons old."
