The warning that will save your Life [Open to all of SC]

Ravenheart blinked, waking when he heard the voice of an unknown cat ringing throughout the camp. He bolted upwards, nudging many others with his paw. He padded out into the moonlit clearing, seeing a silvery brown cat standing in the middle. He smelled of loner. His amber eyes glittered in the moonlight, despite the fact it was hard to make out his shadowy pelt.

He unsheathed his claws but did not attack. "Who are you, and why are you here. What invasion do you speak of." The monotone tom spoke quickly, fearing that this cat could be bringing others to attack. He twitched his tail in annoyance and hoped that other warriors would join him quickly.


Rowanpaw awoke groggily to the sound of a cat shouting. He opened his eyes after a little bit and noticed the sun wasn't out. It wasn't even rising. He slowly got to his paws and shook out his fur, then registered the scent of an intruder. His pelt bristled and he hurried outside to where he saw his father and some loner speaking. He distinctly heard the word "invasion". He quickly padded next to his father attempting to look as threatening as possible. In reality, he looked like a firey fluff-ball.

Wrenkit had trouble falling asleep in the nursery, even do she had nestled herself against her mothers flank it just did not work. Everything was so new and scary, she still had to get used to the fact that she was in Schadowclan now and that the cats who lied in the nursery where not at al the cats she knew and trusted. She missed the cent of the Skyclan forest that had brought her to sleep so many times. So when she heard things going on in camp she stood up. And now heard the words of a voice who could be of a schadowclan cat she had never spoken to but she was not sure.

"-an invasion that is heading your way!"

Wrenkit looked up out of the nursery, in invasion? That doesn't sound good.
That sounded scary.
She quickly saw Rowanpaw and Ravenheart and decided to sit with them, they where her family after all and she decided that Rowanpaw wasn't to scary so she quickly sat down next to him, looking like a small brown ball of fluff and eyes in comparison to her father. Now she looked at the cat in the camp, she was sure that she had never seen this cat before so she figured it was not a Shadowclan cat. Not that you are really one. She shook her head, full attention given to the loner in the camp, what if what he said was true? Without realizing it she hid herself a bit in the fur of her brother.

( look at Wrenkit! She is brave enough to get out of the nursery!)

Woolkit noticed Wrenkit go out of the nursery, and heard yelling. What if there was a badger in the camp? Wrenkit was in the camp! He could not stand for this! Woolkit hopped up, and rushed into the camp, standing protectively near Wrenkit even when he realized the only threat was a tiny little weak and scrawny apprentice age loner. No one was attacking him, (yet) so for now he was probably safe. He turned around after hearing footsteps coming from the nursery, and saw his mother right there. In Woolkit's mind, this meant they were safe as safe could be!

Mooneye, as she was called now, was tending to her sleeping kits in the nursery. When she turned around, Woolkit and Wrenkit were gone. Mooneye turned to Mallowdrop, Saying she'll be back in a jiffy, and went off to find Woolkit. Just then, she heard yelling. Mooneye rushed out of the nursery, seeing a small scrawny loner. She Thin over beside Ravenheart as the questions began, her intimidating stature towering over the young loner. Mooneye said nothing, but racked her brain for any knowledge of this loner. It smelled of an odd scent that had appeared near the Thunderclan border a few times, and something fainter that Mooneye couldn't place as anything she knew. It seemed like the scent of death covering the scent of a living cat, but it was extremely faint so it couldn't be this cat.

What is that?

"Why are you in ShadowClan camp?" Out of the shadows pounced Eaglepaw, landing only a whisker away from the rogues face. How dare this tom just walk right into ShadowClan camp like he owned the place? This was not okay! Snarling, she bared her teeth at him, trying to do something to scare him off. Looking him over, he was probably only a moon or two older than she was, and if it came to a fight she was sure that she could beat him easily. Especially with the whole rest of ShadowClan helping her. Not a bit of fear showed in her expression, and she didn't pay attention to his words. Trying to scare them into trusting him was a technique that might work on other clans, but not this one. If he asked them to do anything at all, she would not hesitate to attack. She may be only an apprentice, but nobody else was really doing anything. Matters had to be taken into her own paws.

Otto looked around at the gathering cats, glad he had their attention now. "This is something that involves all the clan's safety." The exile loner explained, "ThunderClan has already been chased out of their camp and I am afraid to say that the naive Mousepaw died in the incident." Otto mewed, looking down at the ground with a pang of guilt. "I am afraid that Badgerstar was so broken he felt no need to fight back, he went to go find Nightshade which resulted in the leaders kidnapping." The loner sighed, reflecting on his memories as he remembered seeing Badgerstar exit the battlegrounds and disappear. "The empire that did this is coming for the other clans next, but specifically closer to you since you are an easier target than the other clans with no current leader." Otto looked over towards Ravenheart, the cat who had responded first to his call. "And I am afraid they should be here in a day or so since they are living in ThunderClan's camp and territory." Otto explained, "Not to mention, this empire is all run by Toku and I suspect Äker as well." The loner finished, waiting for Ravenheart's response.

Ravenheart watched as one by one more of his clanmates appeared, even Moonstar- now called Mooneye as she was nursing kits. This worried him, a group of cats strong enough to drive out Thunderclan, one of the strongest clans in the forest. This was troubling. He noticed kits out in the clearing and didn't quite want them out here, but there was no time to ask them to shoo back to bed. He sighed, he must step up in the absence of Moonstar. "Driving out Thunderclan... if what you say is true, do you know where the rest of Thunderclan is residing? Perhaps we can allow them to come here." Ravenheart gave his idea some thought. He would require extra patrols, extra guards in camp. Kits in the nursery at night. "Also, who is this "Toku" and "Äker". I assume they are leaders of these rogues." He looked back at the cats nearby, knowing he must lead them while Moonstar is unfit to. A lot of weight just got put on his shoulders.

Rowanpaw listened to his father and the rogue. This worried him, an invasion wouldn't be good. He just had to sit and wait and see. He trusted his father's judgment.

Tigerkit had come out during all of this, blinking sleep from her eyes. She noticed her siblings, mother, and an unknown cat in the clearing. Her fur bristled, and she sat next to her mother. She hoped everything was ok.

Wrenkit was not feeling so good, the words of the rouge made her sudder in fear and she leaned even deeper in Rowanpaw's fur, he did not seem to care that she was practically hiding in his fur. She looked around to see the reactions of the warriors and apprentices and well that frighten Wrenkit even more, and the fact that Ravenheart was ready to take Thunderclan in temporary worried her even more, she wast just getting used to these cats! she did not need more! But Thunderclan needed help if they where driven out of their camp and she could hide in the nursery until they left again so...no big deal right?

Otto looked over towards Ravenheart once more, "I saw Ferretheart leading ThunderClan out near The Unknown Caverns, but I doubt they will make it with the information I have of the rogues." Otto shrugged, "I have no idea where Hollowblossom will go with the offer..." The loner trailed off. "Hopefully, it's good," Otto explained, nodding as Ravenheart responded with his next part. "Toku and Äker are the suspected leaders, but I know only Toku is official." Otto mewed with a slight pang of doubt coming over his body, concocting a few conspiracies in his head.

The deputy sighed. Unease came over the large cat as he listened to Otto's words. Shadowclan could not allow another clan to be driven out of the clans, even if they weren't on the best of terms. "Thank you for the information. Do you require a nest to sleep in for the night? It is the least I can offer for the information you've given us." Ravenheart would need to soon need to hold a meeting with Mooneye, as her kits would be apprentices soon and she would then be Shadowclan's leader once more.

Mooneye listened to Otto carefully. Thunderclan was the strongest clan offensively, even if they didn't have strong defenses a successful assault on Thunderclan would be difficult. That warranted this group of a fair amount of strength. The small loner must have been within the group for some time to know this information. Meaning they likely fought in the battle with Thunderclan. The cat had various scratches but no major injuries meaning that this group was able to form a standard defensive wall, protecting the weaker parts of the army. This meant that this group likely had a strong tactical mind on board. All together, this group sounded like a serious threat. Especially since Shadowclan was experiencing a lack of strong warriors as of now.

But wait, Thunderclan had patrols at various times that differed creating a strong defense. The timings were changed often (As a Oakenstar had found out the hard way after leading his troops into battle with Thunderclan) so that no one could figure it out. These timings would only be known by a Thunderclan cat. This meant that this group had one or more spies in Thunderclan and possibly other clans. "This group sounds like an extreme threat. Ravenheart, perhaps we could protect this loner if they give us everything they know about the loner group? The loner group will be wanting them dead after they defected, so all around it would benefit all sides."

Otto looked back, realizing that now he was a mature and strong male, no longer a helpless kit that ate nothing but scraps every few days. All he saw was the other ShadowClan cats, not Silluna or his loner friends...no one. Just the other half of his body and the other cats that had gathered to see this sudden news appear in the night. As the tom scrunched his eyes, he looked back towards Ravenheart, realizing that although his need for strength wasn't as needed now his need for shelter couldn't tell the same. There was no way that Otto could head back to SkyClan without being caught, scented, attacked, or recognized by the other loners that were aware of Otto's presence in Toku's empire, which, of course, brought fear into them.

"I have nowhere else to go." Otto mewed, looking down, "No one to head home to anymore..." The loner finally caught up with the future he had served himself. "I suppose ShadowClan could replace that for now." It sounded weak, defenseless like he had been with Silluna when he first met her. But now, it was a different kind of weak spot that was given to Otto, one that could possibly end his life if Toku and Äker were to find out what he did. It was possible that by now, the empire had already noticed that he was gone, and the mayhem that the once small tom was to bring to the clans and the empire.

Part of Otto wanted to refuse the offer, it was going to be hard to get out of camp without being ambushed along the way. But Otto supposed that he could possibly ask Ravenheart to have a few warriors come with him, this was a big job, of course.
