"So, you came here because you were uncomfortable. That's it? What do you even know about our 'groups' as you call them?" She doubted it was much.

It irked her but at the same time appeased her that her name was already known. Considering how long she's been ShadowClan's leader she assumed some outsiders must be aware of her name by now. Still, that paranoid part of her had her wary. She didn't like to be watched, its not like much information could be obtained from simply watching at least nothing that would jeopardize her clan. Yet she couldn't shake the violent feeling that screamed threat in the back of her mind.

It taken a lot of self-control for her to ignore the impulses that urged her to spill blood and toss the body. She should at least give the cat a chance and then let go. As she was practically teased an answer for where she got her information from, like a mouse being dangled in front of her. But the cat didn't say any more on it. Dawnstar couldn't tell if the molly was hiding something what, but damn was it feeding her usually empty paranoid demon.

Dawnstar flexed her claws and tore up the ground trying to distract herself and listen to the rest of the stranger's words. Dawnstar liked the initiation and the desire to learn. It was something a few cats still carried today, the willingness to learn and grow regardless of the age. However, the leader was still wary.

"I like that some of my apprentices could use your mindset. However, I'd still like to know where you got the information." If nothing more than to set the leader's mind at ease. If she hadn't been hanging around the border, she had to have talked someone one. Who knew exactly who Dawnstar was, and that ShadowClan liked more morbid offering. "You said you had family, a mother taught you. Where is she?"

Oh! So that's what happened. Regardless, Dawnstar didn't seem interested in talking any longer. She simply watched to make sure that Thorn left her territory. When it came to the clans, it didn't matter who they were or what they were doing, they'd push and shove loners and rogues aside because they could. It sucked, but those cats to drift where every they pleased, the clans could not. She didn't feel bad for the younger cat in the slightest.

[Reminder that outsiders should not have clan names unless you want ton of questions and sus thrown on them]

Dawnstar's eyes gleamed from the shadows as another outsider appeared, this one with a young kit in their maw. Well, at least this one was had supervision. Creepng out of the shadows, Dawnstar paused and scented the air. Her hackles rose immediately, and low warning growl ripped through the air.

"You reek of sickness. Unless you've come here for death, I suggest you start moving and fast." The leader warned with her huge fangs exposed. Dawnstar didn't need ill cats, she wasn't keen on wasting time nursing them back to health and there was always a change that whatever they had spread. It was safer and less time consuming turning them away.

 

[I need starters from both of you please]

Now that was an interesting statement. This cat has been lost since she was an apprentice. Never heard anyone say that to her. But those in RiverClan were probably very lost so no surprise there. The large leader's fluffy tail coiled in and out while listening to the cat tell her tale. Considering everything that was RiverClan was dealing with, it wouldn't surprise her if they left a few cats behind, but who was she to make excuse for such a miserable clan. Springburst, yup, that was the name. She recalled hearing it announced during a gathering.

Dawnstar was interested in learning whether RiverClan had knowing left her behind, well they had to know she was missing, but more like saw her and deliberately left her or something else. "Your scars are deep and large; the wounds must have been severe. Who patched you up if not a medicine cat?" Dawnstar asked curiously. If she took the molly in, which she didn't see a reason not to at the moment. She seemed to truly have a deep dislike of RiverClan, something that Dawnstar knew would benefit ShadowClan. Springbrust would probably have to visit Mossfreckle, Dawnstar would want to make sure that she had indeed healed well enough to serve ShadowClan.

"If you want stability, WindClan's not slacking on that and even ThunderClan's doing well under Bumblestar's reign. Why ShadowClan?" Both true, Twilightstar was the eldest and one of the most well-respected leaders any clan could ask for. Bumblebrat, though younger, had been leading for over four seasons now and doing pretty well aside for occasional being a pain in the ass. Comparing to RiverClan, both ThunderClan and WindClan were anything but stable.

[Starter ok!]
Fizzle gazed at Dawnstar. Wow! This was it, the clans! He padded over to Dawnstar nervously. Was she going to take him in? Fizzle parted his jaws to speak. H-hi. I'm Fizzle. He stammered, his voice coming out in a squeak. I was hoping that I could join your clan. Fizzle looked around the clearing, then met the leader's eyes. Please? He mewed.

Why do cats keep pawning their young off on her? Did she even look like a remotely good cat? Dawnstar would never understand what went through a mother's mind they were desperate enough to just give up their young to the first stranger they found. She could toss the kit off a cliff for all she knew.

"I told you that I will not bring the ill into my clan. It's too risky and a waste of herbs that could be used on my clan's kits." Dawnstar meowed firmly. The risk outweighed the worth, Dawnstar would not waste her time with the ill.

Green eyes steadily studied Dawnstar, noting the large claws kneading and tearing up the earth. Hm, alright, she supposed wanting a more thorough explanation of how exactly the information had been acquired was fair. "Many rumours go around the outskirts of Shadowclan cats who like to flay cats, led by someone named Dawnstar. Long before I knew of the clans, my mother had begun compiling them to figure out what was true and what was made up."

Now she came to that dilemma again. She didn't want to talk about her dreams if she didn't need to... but she got the feeling that Dawnstar would sense it if she kept lying, and it could jeopardise all of this more than the truth. Starting all of this by lying also felt... uncomfortable, so truth it was. "And while I couldn't be sure of their word... I've had vivid dreams of murky forests and marshland where I talked to a cat who explained things like the Darkforest and Starclan." She couldn't really do anything more than hope that she was believed.

But onto the family question. "Well, she is still alive, as far as I know. I had a father, grandfather, and two littermates until-" Her tail twitched a green eyes narrowed slightly at the memory. "until one of them went and ran their mouth, leading to a battle that became the death of her, my father, grandfather, and my other siblings disappeared. My mother is somewhere in the city now, but I haven't seen her since I left to start working on joining Shadowclan."

She was quiet for a moment, running over the events that had occurred before looking back at Dawnstar. "Anything else?"

This mother of hers grew more and more interesting with every tidbit. The she-cat must have wanted her daughter to join the clan for some time. What Dawnstar didn't understand was why. If the cat was telling her this Dawnstar would like to assume that it wasn't for anything heinous, but you could never be too certain about stuff like this. If she took her in she'd have to put one of her more trustworthy cats in charge of her.

As the subject changed to dreams, Dawnstar was a little confused before recalling that it wasn't the first time she'd heard something like this. Normally it was only the spirits that walked through dreams, but Lostspark had pulled her into a dream before and her daughter was still alive. At the time Dawnstar assumed it was just another strange starclan blessing or whatever, but why the hell give a random outsider the same?

She was glad the she-cat was being truthful about it. Dawnstar would feel bad about having to kill her for lying. She seemed very intriguing. She might have another future Lostspark if she was as devoted to her training as she was to getting into the clan.

Ah, that explained why now. It sounded like her kin had gotten into trouble, and most knew there was safety in numbers or better yet the clans. Dawnstar didn't normally like taking in cats with troubled passes like this. It often meant there could be likely trouble with the outsiders, but this molly had too much potential to pass up. The not lying was a bonus.

"What is your name and why isn't your mother with you? It sounded like she went through a lot of trouble to ensure you'd get into the clan?"

Oh! So that's where RiverClan went towards the mountains. That was a nice bit of information not that Dawnstar would put it to any use. But anyway, outsider names would never cease to baffle her.

"So you know little to nothing about us then. I'm sure you can prove your worth, but I do not see much point in bringing you in." This cat seemed and sounded like every other average furball wanting in the clans. Dawnstar wasn't interested in bringing in more waste of space. Nothing was interesting or enticing about the cat in the slightest.

"Why don't you try a different clan? Mine is not for you."

The Shadow Queen's fur was bristled and claws unsheathed as soon as the outsiders appeared, trespassing and so boldly approaching her. Who the hell did he think he was?

"You have five seconds to leave and then I'm going to see if I can rip out your throat." Dawnstar hisses while standing and shaking out her pelt. Her powerful muscles quivered underneath her thick pelt while her claws flexed themselves.
