Nightpelt, Ashstreak, and Frostpool stumbled through the little tunnel into the camp. "See?" Ashstreak said, running ahead. "It's perfect!" Nightpelt placed her paws against the steep cliff. "That ledge could be dangerous." She mewed, looking up. "Dangerous for anycat who trys to attack us!" Ashstreak replied eagerly. "She's right, it's perfect!" Frostpool meowed. Ashstreak craned her neck in the direction of the den where Swiftstar was. "That den would be perfect for Swift..." She stopped, staring at the ground. There was an akward silence, then Frostpool spoke. "Well, I guess when we find a new Moonstone, you'll become Nightstar." Nightpelt, stared at her paws, tears choking her throat. "Yeah." She mumbled, staring at the new leader's den. I guess so."

Swiftstar padded to the entrance of the cave. Her pelt was ragged but unmistakable. Her icy blue eyes scanned the horizon. She hoped her Clan had come looking for her, or at least kept together, without her leadership. She sat back and began to wash the mud out of her fur. "I'll have to hunt soon." She mewed thoughtfully. "Though I hate the idea of being caught in another storm...." She murmured, glancing up at the sky briefly. Then she looked down and stared at the three figured in her camp. "May all cats who are old enough to catch their own prey join here under the highledge for a Clan meeting!" Swiftstar called, the sun catching her blue eyes and her vboice further provbing it was her. If these cats were of ThunderClan origin, she wanted to know how the rest of her Clan fared. She'd been unable to find them and wanted information. Now.

ooc: Aw crap. Time to make some stuff up. bic: Nightpelt's head shot up as she heard a farmiliar voice. Her sister's did the same and gasped. "Swiftstar?" Ashstreak choked. "You're alive?" Nightpelt quickly moved under highledge and was followed by Frostpool. Ashstreak padded next to them, staring at Swiftstar. "The rest of the clan should be here soon." Nightpelt meowed. "Ashstreak was showing us this place.."

Summersky stepped gingerly into the clearing. "S-Swiftstar? You're alive? Are you okay? What can I do?" She asked. She was happy, she'd never been comfortable around Tom's and having a she-cat leader sounded good for her.

Swiftstar smiled. "First off I want to know where the rest of the Clan is. Where's Hawkfeather? I believe I have a deputy to torment? Has he held the Clan together?" Swiftstar asked as she jumped down, wanting to check that these cats truely were ThunderClan. She was too old for this. Swiftstar smiled and purred happily. "Have we lost anyone? I need answers! Will one of you go and fetch the others? This is where ThunderClans' camp will be." Swiftstar said calmly......

"Hawkfeather dissapeered, Swiftstar." Nightpelt meowed. "The rest of the clan is hunting and exploring the territory. It might be dificult to simply fetch..." "I'll go find them!" Ashstreak was happily. She trotted out of the camp, glad that Swiftstar was alive. Nightpelt turned back to her leader. "There are no losses that I know of."

"Then we need a new deputy...." swiftstar murmured. "Fadedshadow?" She asked, worried about the cat she had mentored. "I suppose the Clan thinks I'm dead?" She asked, half-tail thumping the ground simply from her desire to do something besides sit there.....
Stormpaw raced to the cliff. Just below that cliff, he'd seen Swiftstar! "I'm telling you, Sweetbreeze, Swiftstar's alivbe!" Stormpaw crowed happily. "Don't be rediculous! I don't even know why I'm following you!" Sweetbreeze hissed. "Come on!" Stormpaw whined, fleeing towards the camp entrance. His mentor chased him and they both were rewarded when they saw Swiftstar. Swiftstar turned to Stormpaw and Sweetbreeze, a smile on her face. Sweetbreeze stared at her old friend, emeralf eyes wide with shock. "Swift....star?" Sweetbreeze asked. "I told you!" Stormpaw crowed happily, running to greet his leader. "Hey Nightpelt, hey Frostpool!" Stormpaw purred. Swiftstar batted his ear playfully with one paw.....

Frostpool and Nightpelt both nodded to the apprentice. "Fadedshadow was still alive when I last saw her." frostpool said to her leader. She didn't add that in a new territory like this, cat's could die rather quickly. "And yes, the clan thinks you're dead." Nightpelt added.

Swiftstar nodded and sighed. "Very well. I need to find a new Deputy, then." She decided. "I trust Fadedshadow to survive in this new territory. I'm confident that I trained her well." Swiftstar mewed. "Summersky's too full of herself sometimes to make a good leader.... Sweetfire's too short-tempered....." Swiftstar mewed to herself as she kind of spaced out as she thought. Stormpaw turned to Nightpelt and Frostpool. "I told you she was alive! I told you all! And I was right!" The young apprentice trilled happily. Swiftstar put a paw on his tail. "Have you seen a black and white-colored ghost cat called Cloudspots who claims he's a reporter?" Swiftstar asked, a murderous glint in her icy blue eyes. Stormpaw shook his head. Swiftstar relaxed slightly. "Good." She meowed. She longed to ask about Mousefur, the WindClan warrior and her daughter. She vaguely wondered what Lonestar had wanted to tell her before they'd been forced to flee to the sunning rocks. She knew she couldn't risk asking her Clan about it, however much she longed to......

Summersky walked up to Swiftstar, "Are you hungry Swiftstar? I can go fetch you somthing."

When Nightpelt heard Swiftstar mention a new deputy, her ears perked up slightly. When it became aparent that Fadedshadow was her choice, she bit back a frown and turned to Stormpaw. "Yes, you did tell us." frostpool said, smiling. "And you were right."

Swiftstar turned to Summersky. "I was about to go hunting myself." She purred. "It would be lovely if you would do that. I still have a few loose ends to tie up around camp...." Swiftstar mewed happily. She loved being busy again. "But that still doesn't solve my problem....." Swiftstar murmured.... Sweetfire sighed. "Don't tell him that. If everyone tells him how good he is he'll get proud and I'll have to claw him back down." Sweetfire mewed, glaring at Stormpaw. "Rambunctious ball of fur, ain't ya?" Sweetfire hissed. Stormpaw could hear the rage in her voice. "Don't be mad!" Stormpaw purred, leaping onto his mentors back. Swetfire began hissing horrible things under her breath that ought never to be repeated. Stormpaw, obviously used to this sort of thing from his mentor, just laughed....

"Okay," Summersky bounced out of the cave and came back a bit later with a fat rabbit for Swiftstar and a vole for herself.

Swiftstar gently took the rabbit from Summersky with a purr to show her gratitude as she tore into the rabbit. Swiftstar had hunted, true, but she was leaner than she'd been when she'd left her Clan. That could be seen as the sunlight came through the cloud and illuminated her black pelt. She ate quickly as her mind whirred over who the best choice for deputy would be. Summersky might do, but Swiftstar knew few people would put a uppity leader in her place and remind her that she wasn't StarClan. Leader, yes. StarClan, no. On the other hand, Swiftstar did get like that occasionally. She licked her lips, grooming the mud from her paws as she continued thinking about her choice for deputy....

"I'll going to sniff around for some stuff." Frostpool meowed leaving the camp. "let's see what I have to work with..." Nightpelt turned to swiftstar. "Is there anything I can do?"

Swiftstar sighed and shook her head. "No, Nightpelt, there's nothing you can do. Not until all of the leaders set down borders. I think I was spotted by a black cat with purple eyes, but I can't be sure. So keep an eye out for it. I also think BloodClan followed us here. Why, I'll never know but the wind was blowing toward me and that cat smelled like a BloodClan cat." Swiftstar meowed as she got to her paws. "I have to go see if the RiverClan leader still survives and make sure WindClan and ShadowClan aren't dieing out." Swiftstar meowed. "But I really shouldn't leave without appointinjg a Deputy....." She murmured

"Would you like me to ckeck on one of the other clans?" Nightpelt asked, stubornly refusing to sit around and do nothing.

Swiftstar smiled. "Would you please go and check on ShadowClan or RicerClan? I think a visit to WindClan would do me good." She decided, knowing there was a cat within WindClan she could get information out of. She also knew he would probably be waiting at the Island rather anxiously to see if his sister was actually alive. She needed to get out of the camp, however briefly. "Summersky? Watch the camp while i'm gone." Swiftstar ordered. "StarClan only knows wether or not the other Clan will try anything just yet. I havn't had a chance to make sure they havn't died out yet." Swiftstar told Summersky before she (Swiftstar) turned and left......

Summersky smiled proudly and laid down where Swiftstar had been, keeping an eye on every part of the small remaining Clan.
