RiverClan Territory

[ghostwriter]

(open)

Larkstripe lowered his head to the cool current and lapped at the water with fervor, his ears flattened against his elegant head. The ginger tom listened idly to the fussing of blackbirds in the cattails, and the distant cry of hawk as he lavished in a moment of peace and quiet by the riverside. The young warrior was finally beginning to feel like a more cohesive member of the Clan--entertaining kits and training apprentices, he was discovering that he was a more gregarious cat than he had previously imagined.
"Well, well, if it isn't the black sheep of RiverClan. Mighty lucky, finding you alone."
Larkstripe stiffened, the hairs along his spine involuntarily bristling. He looked up to a see a tall, sleek, bronze tabby tom padding down the riverbank. The cat had one brilliant green eye, and one blind eye, bisected by a brutal scar.
"Who are you, and what are you doing on RiverClan territory?" Larkstripe demanded, standing to his full height and flattening his ears.
The rogue chuffed in amusement, "Oh, you Clan cats are all the same. You do realize that your petty allegiances and irrelevant lines in the sand don't actually mean you can claim ownership of an entire forest, don't you? I mean really, who are you to claim the sand beneath your paws or the sky above your head? Give me a break, Larkstripe." Sirius retorted.
Larkstripe recoiled, bristling, "How do you know my name?" he hissed.
Sirius's eyes glinted, "Oh, I know lots of things. For example, I know you're far more skilled than you let on to your Clanmates, my fine orange friend. And I know that you've never really felt like you belonged--being half clan and all. Isn't that ridiculous? That you have to feel ostracized because of who your parents are?" Sirius chimed, in faux pity.
Larkstripe was becoming uncomfortable. Usually soft spoken and aristocratic in manner, the young warrior felt a pang of anger blossoming in his chest, "How do you know all this? Do you have an informant in the Clans? What do you want?" he snarled.
"Oh come on, one question at a time, friend. And truthfully, I'll only deign to answer one--I have a proposition for you. A fit, talented young cat like yourself is wasted on the clans. Why don't you join me, and live free? Your comrades are a bunch of strangely named lackeys who worship dead cats. Someone like you? You could be more than that." Sirius proposed, stalking closer, his claws extending.
Larkstripe backed away, eyes widening, "And...what if I say no?" he challenged hotly.
Sirius's lip twitched, revealing a smirk ornamented with savage fangs.

*charredpaw ran up beside Lark ready to attack the rouge,he had to battle training but had been showed some by Foxpaw that he'd praticed in secret,he diddnt hear the first part of the talk but the half clan comment hit hard,him being half Rouge made him lash his tail*
Go back home you nasty rouge before I give you some real scars to think about! *Charredpaw was covered in them from a badger attack,missing an eye had its perks,the half blind tom hissed as he unsealthed his claws*

Larkstripe bristled in surprise. Oh no, he thought. Sirius was a particularly dangerous rogue—he couldn’t forgive himself if Charredpaw were injured, or worse.
“Charredpaw, please,” He mewed weakly, “I’ll handle this.” He promised
“Oh, how valiant of you. You know, it’s a shame you’re so good with young cats—I know your other secret.” Sirius taunted, eyes narrowed smugly.
Larkstripe recoiled, “Get. Out!” He snarled, before launching himself into the rogue, claws and teeth bared. Sirius, however, was ready for him, and kicked the warrior hard in the chest, winding him. Larkstripe gasped and panted feebly, growling under his breath. He pivoted and charged Sirius. It was when the rogue saw the fire of rage in the young warrior’s eyes that he realized he was genuinely in danger. Larkstripe plowed into him, knocking him into the water. In seconds, Larkstripe’s front claws were buried in Sirius’s chest, effectively pinning him beneath the current. The rogue wailed silently, mouth bubbling beneath the current. Larkstripe did not relent. His eyes held a fire they had never burned with before, and in his rage he had no qualms. Sirius flailed and fought, but the RiverClan warrior sank his claws further into the rogue’s chest. If uninterrupted, he was going to drown his foe.

Rainpuddle’s cry of distress snapped Larkstripe back into reality. When he looked down and saw the life draining from Sirius eyes, he gasped and leapt back, ears flattened, eyes widened. Sirius stagged to his feet, drenched and gasping for breath, still wearing a viperous smirk, “Well,” He panted, “You’re more ruthless than I ever imagined. You were going to kill me, my friend. Well done.” He hissed.
Larkstripe fumbled for words, his eyes wide with terror.
“Oh don’t worry your pretty head, I’ll be back. Think about my offer—there’s clearly more to you than you realized.” The rogue taunted, before turning and bounding off towards WindClan territory.

Lark-Stripe , were you going to kill him?? If so you really are a warrior we need , because most of these warriors are babies. I didnt want you to kill him though. I give rouges at least 1 chance to get off river-clan territory. ~Rain-puddle looked at the young warrior when said that , he meant it.~ As for you charred-paw when a warrior gives you an order you do it! Do you understand that. I know you wanted to help but next listen to what a warrior says to you. Would you have done that if I was Soot-Star?? ~rain-puddle didnt like yelling at his brother but this time he was out of line.~

Tinypaw looked at Larkstripe. Didn't he know that Sootstar was leader now. "Lionstorm has no choice in the matter. It's Sootstar we have to talk to.", he meowed. The apprentice turned to his mother. "You could join the otter cats and be with me.", he meowed, trying to convince her. They could hunt toegther and he could show her all he knew.
