~Meeting~ April 4th

[Tanglestar]

The fog cleared. A massive, muscular, jet tom came into sight. He was rested on a thick stump, his claws curved out, jabbing into it's bark. He could sense confusion and panicking far away, as feline paw steps came into hearing. "Greetings." His voice rumbled like thunder before a storm, and echoed off the trees and stones. He smiled, showing a perfect row of razor like fangs that came to a point like a falcons talon. The startled cats gathered around as their paws reluctantly scrabbled on the hard earth under them. When they were all settled, the huge tom stood, and met each of their gazed with narrowed, burning amber eyes. He leaped from the log, landing only a tail length from the four cats. As if he were reading their minds with his slitted eyes, he grumbled, "Why are you here?" And laughed. "To be the best you can be. Each of you have potential. Potential to rule everything in your path. The potential to be the best." His words roll out of his mouth in a throaty growl. He paced in front of them as he spoke.

The smaller, yet muscular tom before him stood up, claws unsheathed. "Who are you?" He spat. "And what have you brought us here for?"

The huge tom with blazing eyes grumbled a laugh once more. "I've already told you. To rule the forest." He sat again, in front of all of them, and curled his tail neatly over all his paws. He waited for more questions.

[Snowberry]

The misty gray she-cat growed. "All I want is to teach Rainstar a lesson, for what she did to my mother." She growed at the huge tom. "She will pay. Along with Hailstorm. She did no good in that battle! I think we need a strong leader, and as long as I can kill Rainstar for myself then I'll be more than glad to join you. Of course I have one qustion. How could you givce us such power to kill our leaders?"

[Tanglestar]

The tom looked at both she-cats. His gaze sliding back and fourth from them. "You will soon find out." He knew they were not satisfied. Smiling with his fangs once more, he growled, "You are in the Dark Forest. A secluded area filled with darkness and shadows. This-" He scanned the area with his tail, "Is the most powerful place you could ever be."

The smaller tom sat back down. "I don't want to hurt Wildstar," He grumbled. "But there are a few cats in ShadowClan I'd like to mess with-" He had remembered the interruption of Aspenpool at his ceremony. It made his pelt crawl. Every time he saw that cat, he was angered.

[Snowberry]

The misty she-cat laughed. "But it's easy to kill if you put your mind to it. Take Wildclaw for example. As soon as he had that dream someone had to kill him. Only he didn't know what hit him as I waited for that old cat. The surpise on his face." She laughed as images of Wildclaw dieing in her mind flashed by. The blood on her paws, how it felt to kill him. And of course there was his yowl in pain as he told her to stop. How fun it was. "But leaders are much harded. They have more than one life, and so when they lose one they should be albe to tell the clans who not to trust!"

[Tanglestar]

The huge tom showed a smile, and grumbled a laugh. "There you go, we're all well on our way already. Now, how about all of you interduce yourself." He implied.

Ravenpaw shivered. The thought of killing the deputy... He didn't know, still, exactly what this was about. but he had a pretty good idea. Swallowing hard, he was the first to answer to the tom. "I am Ravenflight." He stepped forward. "Ravenflight of ShadowClan."

[Snowberry]

Fangpaw nodded. "I want your name first." She meowed at the tom. "Why should I tell you when you havn't told us your name?!" Fangpaw meowed but then seeing the look on the tom sighed, he will tell them later. "Fangpaw of RiverClan." She meowed.

[Tanglestar]

The tom nodded his huge head. "And you?" He looked at the other black tom who had yet to interduce himself.

[Snowberry]

Fangpaw turned her head to the tom. Surpise reached her face. That tom was once Snowberry's apprentice!
"So your the fourth? Thunderclan's deputy, Snowberry's once apprentice?!" Fangpaw hissed. "We can't trust him! He was an apprentice of the DEPUTY!"

[Tanglestar]

The tom didn't grin this time. He locked his eyes onto the WindClan cat. His amber eyes, sharp as a dagger, piercing hers. Ravenflight shivered. He was intimidating. Ravenflight had seen that ThunderClan warrior before. He was secluded, keeping to himself. He clearly didn't want any of this at the moment. The toms voice, gruesome and dark, snapped him back to the real world. Or, not so real world. "My name," He growled. "Is Crowheart" Ravenflight flicked his tail. "Well, that name matches you oh so very well."

[Rainstar]

Blackfang slashed his tail back and forth, smiling liking the thought of ruling the forest. He looked at the she-cats in disapointment. He lowered his gaze to them, "Have you really thought about ruling the forest? Knowing that you could help all the hurt kits! And get revenge on all who douted you!" Blackfang was on his feet by now, his fur on end.

[Tanglestar]

Crowheart slashed a look from the she-cat, to the ThunderClan tom, then back to the she-cat again. "I had an ambition." He began. "Just like yours." He growled. He guessed that's all they needed to know. "You all are my kin. My sons and daughters to be exact. But besides that, I would like to see you all fight." He grumbled, a smile stretching across his face.

[Rainstar]

Blackfangs eyes shown with excitment, "Yes! Who should we fight!?" Blackfang loved the though of blood flowing threw his own claws. He knew that he was the best fighter in ThunderClan. "this is what we have been waiting for!"

[Tanglestar]

Crowheart narrowed his eyes, then got up and paced around the cats. "The idea here, is not to kill every cat in the clans." He growled. "Just the Leader, and Deputy. Get that far, and ever cat will be yours. All the power in your claws. Why do I request you all to fulfill my ways? Well because I'm just one cat. I had no one to train me. I had no other cats to help. However, you all, do." He sat back down. "Understand?"

[Rainstar]

Blackfang was proud of his Fathers wise words then snapped his gaze toward Bluestorm, "Are you saying none of us fighting skills?!" He was nose to nose with the she-cat. "If your chalanging me then say so!"

[Tanglestar]

"That's more like it." The tom laughed. "Lets see it..."
