Greyice padded into the WindClan camp. His icy blue eyes glanced hurriedly around. Hopefully, no one would place him with Swiftstar. His father, a Clan-born cat, had taken him with him to WindClan. Greyice could only hope no cat would place him with Swiftstar, though the news of her death shook him readily enough. He padded through the nearly empty camp. He knew WindClan could havbe it worse. "Greencough wiped out RivberClan." He mewed sadly past a mouthful of rabbit. Or, at least, he thought it had. They hadn't marked their borders for days. He knew ThunderClan was well and strong, possibly the strongest out of all the Clans. He set the rabit down on the fresh-kill pile before turning to head back out for the rest.....

Smallstar padded slowly down the steep hill into the camp with Snowkit hanging from her jaws. Littleflower followed close behind carrying Stonekit, while Bluekit stumbled behind. The kit's mother put down the stoney grey kit and turned to the navy-colored one. "Are you sure you don't want to get on my back?" Bluekit looked up indignantly. "I can walk myself! Besides, we're almost there." Smallstar reached the camp, put down snowkit, and hurriedly walked over to Greyice. "Who are you and what are you doing here?" She spat at the cat's back. Littleflower followed carefully behind the small leader, placing Stonekit on the ground.

Greyice glared at the cat hissing at his back for a moment before his slow brain took in the fact that this was WindClans' new leader. "Greyice. I was looking for Lonestar." He meowed calmly, seemingly unshaken at the angry Clan Leader. "I'm surprised you don't know me. I grew up in WindClan." He told her before swerving around Smallstar and stubbornly heading toward the Clan entrance. "And, in case you havn't noticed, I happen to be helping you and your Clan. If I were you, I'd leave the cat who's helping alone. If you want to send one of your warriors to watch me, fine. My neice was in this Clan. I don't intend to sit back and watch it die out like RiverClan did." He told her, waiting for a reply. He remembered his niece. The scrap of brown fur that had so readily accepted Swiftstars' task of helping WindClan when they were short on Warriors. He slowly glanced at the sky, smiling in spite of himself as he remembered the fact that he'd mentored that little scrap of fur. "Mousefur...." He purred rather affectionately to himself before shaking himself out of his daze. He would do this. He would help WindClan. If only for Mousefur....

"Oh, Greyice." Smallstar said, her growling stopping instantly. she didn't bother apologizing for her mistake and continued. "Thank you for being here and helping, but as a Windclan cat you are entitled to give your leader the apropriate respect she deserves, and that means no, 'if I were yous' or anything like that. Of course we've all been through alot, with the moving, but now I expect respect." And she turned without another word to help carry the kits to the new nursery. Littleflower hurriedly padded over to Greyice and quickly touched her nose to his. "Thank you for coming." Then she grabbed Bluekit by the scruff of her neck and carried the struggling kit after Smallstar.

Greyice watched Littlwflower and Smallstar. The truth was, Greyice respected everyone. But he couldn't let it show. It was possible already that someone would link him to Swiftstar and that had to be a secret from his entire Clan. So he was acting the exact opposite of how he used to act. Why? Because his secret was in more danger how than ever. "Of coarse, Smallstar. Perhaps I know that better than anyone." He mewed calmly before padding out to fetch the rest of the fresh-kill....

When the three kits and their mother where in the nursery, Smallstar stepped out into the center of the camp. She stared out the entrance towards the rolling hills. Right now, all she had was one warrior, a gueen, and a bunch of kits. If she didn't find more cats before the other clans, Windclan would be a weak target for an ambitious clan like Shadowclan.

Two she-cats padded up to the camp. One had red fur. The tips of her ears were ink black. All four of her paws looked as if they's been stained with black ink as well. Her tail was as bushy as a foxs' and her black eyes shone. A metal band seemed permanently attetched to her right forepaw and, on her left hindpaw, was a spiked black leather band. She couldn't get either off. Each of her pawsteps left a fiery paw-print behind. Her black claws dug into the ground, so large she was unable to retract them. Her companion was a ice-blue colored she-cat with dark sapphire-colored eyes. Each pawprint froze over instantly. White tipped her tail, the bottom of each paw, her muzzle, and a single stripe down her stripe that branched down both her sides. Whereas her sister was large and bulky, this cat was no larger then a newly-apprenticed cat. It was she who spoke to Smallstar once they were inside the camp. "I'm Icepetal. This is Foxfire. We're two loners coming from a Clan beyond the mountains." Icepetal meowed calmly, a grim smile on her face as she awaited this strange cats' response. "Both myself and my sister possess strange abilities given to us by the twolegs. Foxfire possess the ability to wield flames. I wield ice. There are four other cats that followed us here though we have the most esperience in the open moor so we, Foxfire and I, decided to try to join whatever Clan may reside here. Foxfire has a bit of a temper, but I can generally keep her in line." Icepetal finished, sifting nervously as she awaited Smallstars' response. Foxfire sat down and started lazily washing one paw. "There might be more of us coming. We don't know." Fixfire added. Whereas Icepetals' voice resembled the surface of a frozen lake, Foxfires' resembled a wildfire.....
(I'll post the bios in a moment. Their history is very entertaining and I'm still working on it somewhat.... It might develop into a story.....)

Smallstar quickly looked up as she caught the scent of something burning, and of leaf-bare. She backed up as she saw two very strange cats approaching, and a growl began to rise in her throat. It died down as the cats explained themselves. "I am Smallstar" She said, forcing the fear and mistrust out of her voice. "And Windclan would be very happy to have you join our ranks."

Icepetal smiled and dipped her head. "Thank you." She purred. Foxfire smiled at Smallstar, a rare thing from her. "Yes." Foxfire mewed distractedly. Icepetal barrelled into her. Foxfire gave a slight hiss of annoyance but was currently too distracted to retaliate. Then Foxfore got up and turned to leave the camp. Icepetal sighed amd started ragging onto her sister about manners. Foxfire stopped halfway to the entrance and gave an apologetic smile to her leader. "Sorry. I just remembered something concerning the others. And one you never want to meet. Icepetal can explain everything." Foxfire called before racing out. Once she reached the exit she transformed into a puff of smoke with a small pop and moved much faster than normal. Icepetal watched her go and sighed. "Wonderful. Just wonderful. She's gone." Icepetal hissed. "She'll be back soon. She's probably marking the borders." Icepetal hissed, scratching the back of one ear with her hand foot. The ground beneath her paws, which had been stationary for a white yet, gleamed with a thin layer of ice. Her tail lashed against the ground, it too making a mark of ice on the ground. "My sister had horrible manners that I can't seem to break her of. She gets this dazed look in her eyes and runs off quite often and I can't do anything to stop her. Is there anything specific you want me to do around here?" Icepetal purred, neglecting to mention she used to be her Clans medicine cat. Then she closed her eyes and sniffed. "Hmmm.... I don't smell any herbs....." She mewed softly, almost too soft to hear as she glanced around. Her fur ruffled a bit in worry as she realized there was no medicine cat here.....

"Do you have any experience with herbs?" Smallstar mewed to Icepetal. "We need a medicene cat." Bluekit dashed out of the nursery, chased by the agitated shout of her mother. When she looked at Icepetal, her eyes widened with amazement. "Wow!" she yowled, excitedly, running up to the cat. Her cries drew her siblings out of the nursery, who rollowed their sister. "Ice, now?" Snowkit mewed, sniffing the patch near Icepetal's tail. The kits poked the ice around the new cat's paws as Littleflower emerged from the nursery.

Icepetal smiled. "I used to be the Medicine Cat within my old Clan." She explained, her gentle voice a soft purr as the kits poked at the ice forming around her. She turned her paw sideways against the ground, making ice spiral upwards and form a beautiful and intricate flower. "The twolegs did something to me and my sister. Foxfire and control fire and turn into smoke, allowing her to avoid trouble and travel faster. I can freeze anything, living or not, wet or not, and I can also manipulate ice that already exists. I could probably freeze time, if I wanted to." Icepetal explained.....

Snowkit sniffed the ice flower and Bluekit licked it. Stonekit poked it and frowned as it shattered. The two girls snarled and jumped on their brother. "Then you'll accept the position of Windclan Medicine cat?" Smallstar asked, smiling at the kits.

Icepetal nearly jumped for joy. A smile spread over her face. "Of coarse, Smallstar." She purred, letting the ice from the flower melt. Icepetal made a smaller one the kits could carry, if it wanted to. It was shaped like a tulip and, as Icepetal so desired it to, the ice molded into intricate metals and started changing color. Icepetal smiled as she watched.....

Bluekit squirmed out of the tussel and ran over to the tulip. She picked it up and trotted happily over to her mother, the other two following close behind. Smallstar grinned slightly and spoke to Icepetal again. "Do you think there are enough herbs in this territory? I can arrange something with one of the other clans if you need more." ooc: sorry about the short post. I had soccer practice out in the snow and my fingers are still numb.

Icepetal smiled. "Oh, I'm sure I can find them. If not, there's always the island I can gather herbs from and, if I need to, I can speak to the other Medicine cats at the next half moon." Icepetal mewed calmly as she watched the kits. "I hope oxfire doesn't get too uppity or aggressive. She may not respect you much at first. Everyone she respects has earned it in some way. If she gives you trouble, knock her over the head." Icepetal said apologetically. "It's just how she is...."

Smallstar nodded to Icepetal. "Good, well I guess you can start collecting your supplies. And I'm pretty sure I can handle Foxfire." That was a horrible lie. That cat scared the wiskers off her face. it would be easy for any of these strange twoleg cats to take over windclan, well, she wouldn't expect that from Icepetal, but Foxfire?

Icepetal dipped her head in respect and padded away. Even though she was running full-on she only went at about half the speed of a cat born into WindClan. Icepetal was always slow, even in her old Clan, but she'd never been this slow until after what the twolegs had done to her. Likewise, Foxfire was remarkably fast now. Icepetal saw the smoke hovering out in the open moor. "Where there's smoke, there's fire." Icepetal purred to herself before veering off in search for herbs......

Lonestar raised his head puling the scent of windclan into his mouth, practically drinking it. He had missed that, his home. He glncedto greyice and proceeded to limp ahead of the other cat forwards through the entrance into the windclan camp. He was home, not in the same sense as this was the old cats but the smell of the camp had already manifested itself about the pace. He glanced at the rising dawnlight, then looked around the camp, most were still hidden from veiw sleeping, but there was Smallstep, or Smallstar he didn't know how to greet her. Smallstep might be best. He kept his silence though as he padded forwards and sat down slowly in front of her bright green eyes watching her, radiating calm. His pelt shone silver in the early dawn light and he might be mistaken for a starclan cat if not for the blood and injuries that blossomed across his pelt.

"L-Lonestar?" Smallstar, or was it step now that the leader was back? "You're alive?" Littleflower peered out of the nursery as she heard the old leader's name mentioned. "Lonestar!" She gasped, quickly moving over to him "What happened to you?" She added, seeing the blood. "Go find Icepetal." Smallstep said to the queen. "Your kits will be fine." The windclan queen hurried out of the camp in search of the medicen cat. "Are you okay? Do you need anything other than herbs?"

Greyice stood by the entrance, watching from afar. His tail was curled over his paws and head lifted high in a all-too-familiar way, though he didn't really notice it. He watched as Littleflower went off in search of Icepetal. "She was following us. I sent Foxfire to fetch her." Greyice meowed, his voice soft and respectful. A complete contradiction to how he had acted earlier. Then Icepetal padded into the camp and whacked him on the ear. "I was looking at herbs!" She hissed. Greyice dectected the playfulness in her voice and eyes and laughed. Icepetal smiled and moved to look at Lonestar. She nodded. "Nettletongue dressed them. I will have to change them soon, but not right now. I really need to see what herbs I have, though...." Icepetal meowed before padding to her den. Foxfire was still off somewhere, probably hunting. Greyice got up to sneak away on a patrol, hoping to get out without being seen....
