Name: m i r r o r s t a r ;; Gender: female Age:28 moons IC Post: (Please make sure that involves your character in the rank of Leader) mirrorstar crept through the yew bushes, senses intent on her unsuspecting prey. the only thing wrong with this picture was that she was not hunting food. she was hunting an intruder. holding still for a few seconds, she felt the vibrations in the ground flying through her paws. since she was blind, she somewhat listened to the tremors in the ground, making her, surprisingly, a superb hunter and fighter. one would not expect a blind leader to be so efficient, but she passed with flying colors.
her grey pelt, consisting of white squiggles on the flanks, was well hidden by the scrambling bushes. she had never really known what she looked like, but others told her she was absolutely beautiful, with her light blue eyes and sturdy yet lean body. she knew she shouldn't be contemplating that at a high stakes stalk, but she couldn't help it. her mind wandered often. luckily, good ideas came out of it, sometimes, while she was just randomly thinking. maybe that was why her clan flourished with new age ideas. who knew, though?
but the vibrations in the ground, mirrorstar could tell this cat was a male, but a small, lean one. considering his age, she guessed he was probably in the age of late apprentice/early warrior. he'd be so shocked when she rambled out of the bushes...since she was on the edge of her territory, she didn't plan on attacking him. she just wanted to scare him out, and give him quite a jolt. smirking slightly, she bunched her muscles, prepared.
leaping out, claws extended for emphasis, she heard his startled yowl and felt the thundering of his paws racing away as she landed. by the feel she could tell he was already across the border. satisfied, she sat back and began to groom. she was pretty vain, even though she didn't know what she looked like. she felt the need to be perfectly organized. call it crazy, but mirrorstar couldn't stand it when things were out of place and chaotic. she had taken the forest fire back in the day so horribly..especially with her mothers death, which had forever impaired her. she'd never be the same..in fact, she hadn't been so vain when her mother was around, always telling her she looked fine.
a crunch on the ground behind her vibrating through the ground system, and mirrorstar wheeled around, teeth bared. a friendly voice lit from the bushes.
"calm yourself. it's just me." relaxing, mirrorstar purred at the voice of her only brother, tigergaze. they were practically glued together they were so close. mirrorstar would not be able to survive without him.
"what are you doing out here? it's getting late." she remarked, yawning. though she couldn't see the sun pass by, she always knew when it got darker, or lighter. her senses were that sharp. she felt her brother sit on the already cold ground.
"i went to find you..nice chasing performance, sis." he said casually. "but yes. we should head back. race ya!" she felt her brothers pounding paws gallop away. she laughed slightly and chased.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
back at camp, her clan buzzed excitedly. apprentice were all over the place, practicing newly learned training moved and pretending to 'hunt' each other. mirrorstar purred as she felt the vibrations of bouncing kits all around her. everything was going great. she heard queens calling in their kits for bed, and suddenly the buzz of the ground slowed with the feel of night. mirrorstar blinked. things could change so quickly.
padding over to the fresh-kill pile, mirrorstar chose a mouse, scenting it out and picking it up gingerly. padding over to her den, which was under the rock she used to call out meetings, mirrorstar settled into her cozy moss bed. she ate her mouse with hungry gulps and laid her tail over her nose to sleep. but she was soon awakened by a frantic rumbling in her den. blinking her eyes open sleepily, mirrorstar smelled northernlight, a queen in her clan, pacing back and forth.
"mirrorstar! thank goodness your awake! snowkit has gone missing!" she shrieked. mirrorstar shot out of her bed and raced over to the queen, resting her tail over her shoulders.
"shush. we'll find her. i promise." mirrorstar said sternly, blind eyes set into a determined look. "i'll round up some patrols, you need to go get some calming herbs from the medicine cat. trust me, it'll help." northernlight hurried to the medicine den reluctantly. mirrorstar made sure she felt her paws enter the den. she needed to focus now.
"bearwhisker, mouserunner, eastlily, tigergaze, and hazelsun, follow me. snowkit has gone missing, and we need to find her. badgerstripe, i need you to pick your own crew and head in the opposite direction of us. let's go!" she announced to her patrol, racing out of camp.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
it had been a fruitless search so far. mirrorstar was still stunned by how things could change so easily. first, her clan was happy and buzzing..and now a state of panic had creeped up on them. mirrorstar shook her head wearily, turning to her patrol.
"i have not felt the slightest twinge of little cat paw in the ea-" she broke of suddenly, angling her ears toward the forest. under the ground she felt the patter of tiny, scared paws stumbling through the forest.
"this way." she whispered to her patrol, slinking through the undergrowth. snowkit was walking nervously around, eyes huge and frantic. behind her, a smelly, huge rouge stood, malice in his eyes.
mirrostar shot out of the brush and met the rouge eye to eye. his eyes glittered with a cool calmness, and a smirk lay on his face. with a simple flick of his tail, many rouges streamed out of the bushes. they weren't exactly outnumbered; the rouges side had two more cats. it's be a pretty even fight.
"let us have the kit and no one gets harmed." mirrorstar said slowly. the rouge snorted.
"if anyone is going to get her, it'll be you, blindy." he said in that same strange calmness. mirrorstar felt one paw raise off the ground quickly and she bolted into him, wrestling him down expertly, having him a in a pin. the cats around her streamed into battle except for hazelsun, who picked up snowkit gently and raced back into the direction of camp. the kit was safe.
mirrorstar suddenly felt her enemy wriggle up quickly and catch her by the scruff. he was a lot bigger than her, so picking her up and shaking her was easy for him. he threw her against a tree..
and everything went black.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
mirrorstar's eyes slowly blinked open. pale light steamed through a den smelling of herbs. she slowly got up, muscles protesting, and spun around a few times. she was in her clans medicine den. but how'd she get there? the last memory she had was of hazelsun running away with snowkit. she blinked, confused.
"good morning, sleep head." a kind voice said behind her. mirrorstar smelled the medicine cat in front of her.
"what happened?" she asked quietly. "is snowkit okay? the medicine cat purred.
"snowkit is fine, don't worry. you were thrown against a tree in battle, but your fine, the second patrol, badgerstripes patrol, heard fighting cats and arrived just in time. the rouges are gone." she explained quickly. mirrorstar blinked slowly. the rouges must've come from the same place the rouge she attacked yesterday came from. mirrorstar sighed.
"i'm just glad everything is okay." she said, settling back down in her nest. she needed to rest to get better, after all.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
mirrorstar arose slowly. she had been gradually getting better, and she was finally aloud to sleep in her own den. it had been a blissful sleep. she felt so refreshed. but it was night now, and she had felt the need to take a nap in the afternoon, so she could feel in top shape for the gathering tonight. she'd warn the clans about the rouge, and it'd be all over. it'd be a good gathering.
padding out of her den, the moon was peaking above the mountains. a group of cats awaited for her by the entrance of camp. she had pre picked them before her nap, and they were all ready to go. leading the group through a winding path, mirrostar soon heard the chatter of clan cats below. she wished she could see the gathering place in all it's glory, but she had not been gifted sight. but she was okay with that. pouring into the gathering area, she leaped up into the highrock, stumbling a little on her way. sitting down, she smelled the other four leaders there. the gathering could begin.
yowling for silence, she stepped forward casually.
"we chased a band of rouges out of our territory a few sunrises ago," she announced, pausing. "these rouges are vicious and don't care about borders, so i advise you to keep an eye out. that is all." she said, nodding to another leader. the gathering stretched on, long than most, and mirrorstar was glad when it was finally over.
returning to camp, she was glad to crash onto her nest and fall asleep. her last thought of the night was, 'things are turning up for meadowclan.' (Note. I did not put capitals. it's a style of writing i sometimes use.) |

Title;; Aurastar. Gender;; Female. Moons;; Twenty-four. Chapter Unknown;;
Business unsolved, Aurastar's childish revenge had her mentally tied in a knot. She spat at her former companion, "Where is he! Where is Audis." She had no respect to call this cat her father. The cat she pat pinned flat was too tired to reply "Kane tell me now if you ever want to see the stars again!". Aurastar lost patience and raked her thorn sharp claws down is flank. The bloodstained rogue shrieked out in distress, "Foretsclans burned camp!" it managed to croak as blood bubbled from the corners of his mouth. Aurastar made no hesitation, and she bolted with the power of Starclan in her paws. 'I will avenge you Scarheart.' She chanted silently to herself. She left her camp, unguarded, and she prayed to Starclan everything would be alright. Her paws carried her on faster, until she slowed and found herself in the old Oak Grove. Charred, and forgotten as she padded forward until she scented him. The wind was blowing her way as she sent a silent prayer of thanks to Starclan that he wouldn't be able to scent her. She padded to an area she did not recognize until she saw the cliff face. 'Forestclan camp.' It was charred and destroyed by the fire. She was standing on the gravestone of may cats who battled their hardest as turmoil was stirred by the earlier clans, Shoreclan, Emberclan and the clan that kept its name, Stormclan. Her eyes then stuck to pitch black fur, flanked by a skinny pale orange She-cat and a larger mousy brown Tom. Her heart filled with agony starring at the night-like pelt. Seconds later; She realized she was out numbered. Her absent mind started to awaken, but in a pool of anxiety with no easy way out. The pale orange tabby lifted her head,"Fear scent." she examined, tasting the air. The other cats looked to their sides, but failed to seek behind them. She paused and her hair bristled slowly till she looked twice her size. She whipped around and spat, "Aurakit!" The she cat darted for Aurastar, "That's Aurastar you worthless piece of dirt!" She hissed, it hurt that they were close companions when she was a kit, but she showed no sympathy. Anyone on Audis' side was the enemy. She immediately darted away from Asia's claw reach, the sandy she cat fell straight for the ground. Aurastar pelted forward into Asia's side knocking the wind out of the Rogue warrior. She could tell this cat was lacking fighting skill, as was undoubtedly suffering of starvation. Aurastar pinned the tabby down, "If you ever get in my way Kittypet i will make sure my teeth meet your throat." Her ominous threat let the she cat too terrified to move. She advanced forward towards Audis, fire burning in her topaz eye's. She stepped closer and closer until she reached his ear, his lips curling back as she whispered, "I told you I'd find you." The brown stocky tom cat lunged for her side, she leaped back and her claws met his throat. It screeched in pain and pelted away. "Your warriors are weak, untrained. It's a pity your going down with out a fight like the rest of them." She spoke calmly circling him. "Aurakit, your worthless..." Audis tried to go on but Aurastar rudely interrupted, "That's Aurastar you piece of scrap, I'm stronger than you will ever be, killing my mother was a mistake."He showed no weakness and kept talking," What makes you think you can kill me and defend your clan. You only have one body." His words turned her blood to ice, She whipped around to see if the bloodstained sandy tabby was still laying helplessly on the forest floor, but she was gone. Aurastar turned slowly to face Audis once again but found her self facing nothing. Her anxiety flooded and came out in a caterwaul of anger. She pelted straight for her meadow home, 'It took so long to get me here how will i get back to my clan in time?' She silently questioned herself as everything around her was a blur. Her absent mind was carrying her body onwards as if in an auto pilot. A sweet wind blasted in her face, she took it in immediately recognizing the scent,"Scarheart what if i don't make it?" She questioned her mother out loud. Aurastar felt her warm, soft pelt brushing next to hers. "I'm always with you Aurastar, have faith in Starclan, i can't do much, but through your determination and faith in yourself and your warriors, you shall fight with the pride of Lionclan."Aurastar listened to her mothers lifting words, "But, what if," Aurastar paused as if out of breath, but decided to leave her suspicions unsaid. "Do not have doubt Aurastar, You have nine lives, and don't forget i was one of the cats to give one of the nine to you." Her mothers words stuck in hear head, "And that life wont be one wasted with out the fight of all of Starclan." Her mother finished before vanishing. Aurastar picked up tremendous speed pelting through the trees almost invisible.
She was entering the outside of her territory, her hopes began to rise as her speed began to increase to her fastest. She saw the band of rogues outside of her Clan camp hidden in the Long meadow grasses. 'I will get there in time!' Joy washed over her, but suddenly dissipated in an instant. The band of rogues was gone before her eyes. 'No.' A loud battle cry signaled by her deputy Sagewhisker echoed through the empty meadow, She pelted into the entrance and so early in the fight hair and blood was everywhere. An apprentice was being tag teamed by two violent rogues. She leaped over Hollypaw and onto the biggest Rogue's back, "I know you can handle the other Hollypaw, fight with all of Starclan!" She was suddenly being whipped about as the rogue struggled beneath her. She raked her claws down the sides of it's pelt exposing open flesh. The sorry cat pelted out of the camp and by the sounds of it, it wasn't coming back. Hollypaw also had a grip hold on the other rogues neck. It couldn't shake her off. Hollypaw sunk her teeth in deeper and the cat writhed in pain, "Okay Hollypaw let her go, she's done!" Hollypaw obeyed instantly and the rogue was sent wailing in pain out of the camp. She was proud of the apprentice but there was no time for praise. She searched the heart of the camp for Audis but he was no where. The medicine cat, Sunsky was trying her best to treat the wounded warriors with the help of her apprentice Windpaw. Sagewhisker was fighting the large brown tabby she tussled with earlier. She underestimated the cat, as its fighting skills were far better than what was observed. A wail of pain escaped her mouth as a pain as sharp as the claws of Tigerclan raked her side, she darted and whipped around fast to see Asia, furious and her eyes blood thirsty, "I'm going to kill you like i should have back at that burned camp." She gave Aurastar no time to reply, this she cat was fast. It wailed straight into Aurastar's side, leaving her with no breath. Asia had her pinned, and she knew she wasn't getting out. Not only was this cat fast, she was stronger. 'Starclan be with me!' Aurastar prayed silently as she used all her strength to spin exposing her belly but quickly raked her hind legs into Asia's soft belly. Blood spatter covered Aurastar's pelt as the wounded cat limped out of the camp. She jerked her head up to see the battle was almost won. Out of the corner of her eye, she was darkness. Sagewhisker was spitting in rage and soon darkness met her deputy, "Audis." She whispered mono toned to herself as the night black cat raked its claws viciously down Sagewhisker's side. Aurastar pelted for Audis but was shy of remembering, the only reason she was fast, was because her father was too. She was too slow as Audis raked his claws into Sagewhisker's belly and his teeth met his throat, "No!" Aurastar's bloodcurdling shriek sent her flying into Audis' shoulder, "You wont touch my deputy, this is between you and me!" She clawed into his ear and he back tracked, She whipped her head back and her deputy was being sent into a paroxysm. "Sunsky, get Sagewhisker," she wailed out as she focused her attention to Audis, her eyes overflowing with hatred. Audis murrowed a malicious purr. "All of your clan is wounded and your life ends tonight Aurakit." Her anger was building, but she let the name slide. "No Audis, only your blood will spill on the floor of my camp." He lashed his paw in anger, claws unsheathed, into her head but she was quick to evade it. She circled to his back and leaped. He mimicked the move but she wasn't in for an attack, she kicked his side so she landed to his back, she knew he was expecting an aerial attack. She latched on to his shoulders and sunk her teeth deep into his shoulder. He writhed around but she did not loosen. "Get off of me you worthless scrap you were a mistake along with your mother, i should have killed her years ago!" Aurastar's anger was then released, "Then you should have done that moons ago not in front of your own daughters face, and now i have to live in the mirror of you, every step i take, every move i make and the whole way i act, is the shadow of you! I live in the shadow of a killer. But let me tell you this Father, i will never be as ruthless and merciless as you have ever been , and the only thing that sets us apart," She paused after her speech, got closer to his ear still latched to his shoulders, "Is that i have nine lives, and you, have one." he exploded in anger as she sunk her teeth deep into his neck leaving him with a nasty wound, but some how was shook free of her grip. Audis was just try to recover just as Aurastar lashed her thorn claws into his eyes, repetitively. He caterwauled in pain and ran in different directions, "My eyes!" he screeched. Aurastar sunk her teeth into the scruff of his neck and drug his body out of her camp, "And this is where i finish you," she lifted her head to sink her teeth into his throat for a death blow when a muffled voice spoke, "No Aurastar." the sweet scent of her mother washed over her. Her mother was standing over Audis' body. "Look to the sky Aurastar." She obeyed and gazed wearily to the sky, "Warriors do not kill unless absolutely necessary. You where the one in your clan to enforce that law in every battle you took place in. Or do you try hard to forget due to your grudge?" Aurastar's eyes widened and she looked back to her mother, "But, he... He killed you." Aurastar was saturated in shock. Her mother was siding with the cat that murdered her. "Aurastar, I love him, and i never will stop. You have wounded him beyond repair, your a leader now, use that power to serve your clan. I'm so proud of you Aurastar, I love you." Her apparition vanished. Aurastar was left with her father sprawled helplessly in front of her, sightless. "Father. You killed my mother. You took her away from me, and as i said before, i will not be the cat that i was born to be." She turned away towards her camp entrance, "Now get your sorry self off my territory and never come back." She turned away stalking to her camp. She heard movement behind her, she looked back to see Audis limping away with no which way to go. He was crowfood. Her duty as a leader was to lead her clan in troubles faced by turmoil of the territories, not of her past. She stepped into her territory, and pelted straight for her best friend, and deputy, Sagewhisker. Her eyes welled in pain but she showed no sympathy physically. His body was still, she looked to Sunsky, "He's dead." She fell limply to the ground burying her nose into his pelt. He was still warm. She flicked her eyes open to see the shallow rise and fall of his pelt. She wanted to yell thanks to Starclan but she kept silent. "He lost a lot of blood but we stopped it and helped him breathe again. He's a strong warrior. You chose well when you chose your Deputy." Sunsky looked into Aurastar's eyes for a long moment, and stepped away. Aurastar sat close to Sagewhisker's face and breathed, "Sagewhisker, are you there?" His eyes fluttered open. "Aurastar. Thank you." he managed to croak. Aurastar was caught off guard, "For what?" Sagewhisker murrowed weakly, "You saved me, i would have been crow food if you didn't send Audis flying." Aurastar had forgotten she had only told Sagewhisker about Audis and her mother. "Sagewhisker, your my best friend, you were there for me when i had no one." Aurastar purred and licked his face,"I owed you one." She stood up and walked toward Sunsky for some herbs for her wounds. She gazed around at her clan. They were true clan cats. True cats of the Warrior Code.
