Freckles, after leaving Tiko's territory, had been wandering aimlessly, making wide detours around the faintest rouge scent and finding herself very tired and within the border of TornadoClan. Well, she knew it was a Clan, at least.
She sat down, her paws aching and her stomach growling. A rabbit paused, terrified, mere foxlengths away, but she was too tired to pounce, too tired to sleep, too tired to do anything but sit and rest.
So, closing her eyes, she slept.

Wolfstar saw the rabbit and chased after it. He pousned on it just in time. He was down wind of freckle, but she could hear him. She cloudn't see or smell him though. He looked at Softheart. His fur briskled; his eyes showed of anger.

A little woosh like a cat pouncing on prey roused the sleeping she cat from her sleep, she groaned and got up stiffly, her muscles protesting angriliy. She sniffed. Nothing. She looked around at the blurry shapes. Nothing. But still, she was awake. And something was there.
She half heartedly explored the prospect of a fight in her mind, which reminded her that she was half asleep, han't eaten in ages, and was in another Clan's territory.
She wanted to say something smart-alec, but didn't have the energy. So instead she sat down, her eyes still flicking along the horizon, but her mind dozing off.

A growl came from the bramble bushes. Wolfstar looked at Softheart. Then nodded and walked into the claering with his rabbit.

Softheart looked on at Freckle with a glance at Wolfstar, reading safety. She's a rouge that lookes pretty beaten-up and weak for her status. And she's alone. This would be an easy fight if she choses one. The gray warrior looked to her leader for any sign of permission before bounding foreward; the she-cat was down in an instant. "You seem a bit tired for being so foolish, rouge."
||Bah. ||

"Let not hurt her until we know why she here,"he mewed. Then he turn to Freckle, "Well..."

Softheart nodded and drew back from the rouge. Her paws were light on the hard pleatu she had come to call home, hazel eyes locked on Freckles. She really wasn't in the mood for this. "All right, Wolfstar. Why are you here, rouge?"

Freckles stood again, shaking her fur wearily and stifling a yawn.
"Foolish? Hm?" she mewed in a worn out voice. "I was just napping."

Wolfstar stared at the rouge, "ANSWER ROUGE!"

Freckles blinked, more awake now. "I was part of the rouge army. We didn't get on so well, so I left. I've been wandering around aimlessly for some time now. And I haven't taken any of your prey. And I haven't attacked any patrols. I'm actually quite polite considering I'm not a Clan cat. No need to get angry."

Wolfstar scent her, "She telling the truth." He looked at the rabbit then to Softheart, "Should we?"

Softheart looked the cat over before turning to Wolfstar. "We've done stranger things. I'm sure it would be all right, for the ime being if nothing more. Although my doubt is still the same as with my brother on the matter." She hadn't trusted her brother with anything since he told her of his plans to take over the clans, even when he came back new. No. He would never change; not fully.

Lionpaw, Jaypaw and Holypaw (x3 YES!!! Muahaha!) padded forward and stared at Freckles fiercly. They carried the legacy of giant warriors; the 8 moon old apprentices were giant. Lionpaw, the most aggresive, let his nostrils flare. Hollypaw, the sweet and shy one, had a deranged look in her eyes, and Jaypaw, the lady's man type cat, resisted a caterwaul of anger with force.

"Stand your ground," Softheart ordered, her voice powerful even though she did not know the apprentinces very well herself. "Killing will get you nothing if you have no reason behind it."
||Confusion+Just after Dinner= Bah.||

" She has no warrior blood." Lionpaw growled viciously. He didn't care WHO Softheart was- Clanmate or not.
" I don't want her in the warriors den when I'm a warrior. She smells funny." Hollypaw whined.
" Wolfstar's too soft. Why can't he be more like Thunderstar?" Jaypaw lashed his tail.

"If you like Thunderstar so much, then go be a traitor and join him. It's regardless what you think- only Wolfstar's opinion matters in this," Softheart hissed, but stood her ground. She wouldn't be able to win if the three decided to jump on her all at once.

Lionpaw shoved himself in front of his siblings. " I don't care- Wolfstar betrayed his birthclan. I heard him and Thunderstar argue- their brothers! Jaypaw and I have never argued once in our lives! I'm serious, if that stupid furball gets a spot in our Clan I'll kill---"
" Lionpaw!" Hollypaw gasped.
" Back off," Jaypaw growled, pushing himself in front of Lionpaw. " Your not Wolfstar. At least the other Lionpaw before us was smart enough to kill himself... anyway, your not Wolfstar. You can't boss me around. And as for a mentor, I have none. None of us do." Jaypaw growled.

Mistycloud walked by and spotted them "Whats goping on?" she asked.
Sparklekit spotted Lionpaw "Hrello Lionpaw" she meowed sweetly.

I never said that...but either way. "As said, don't complain to me. Wolfstar is the one you three should speak to and not take it out on a weakened loner or a clanmate that has done nothing more then speak with you. Regardless of Wolfstar's past, he is leader now. Deal with it or leave. It's all up to you." Softheart placed herself on the ground beneath her; it didn't matter if Lionpaw attacked her. She had as much reason to live as Wolfstar to be leader of a clan other then his birth.

Flexing her claws, Hollypaw let out a vicious caterwaul- DEFINATELY not like the shy shecat. Her lips drawn in a snarl, she spat " My brothers have the right to speak their mind to anyone they wish, and can do what they want. They don't need you to bother them, nor do I. Why-"
Jaypaw sweeped his tail over his spitting sister's mouth to silence her and looked at Softheart expectantly.

Softheart shrugged- she wasn't going to deal with these cats if she didn't have to. And, for the moment, she didn't have to. "Just know that speaking to me will make no difference and change no lives. It's not my problem what you think, so you;'re just wasting your breath. So what if all three of you came at me right now and I died? I'd go to Starclan while you got worked up over indifference. Don't lose it, Jaypaw. It may just mark the end of your current path in life." She looked to Wolfstar, surprised he hadn't cut in at this point.

Jaypaw said nothing, but a cold and whistful look came into his eyes. But mostly, hurt.
Hollypaw nudged Jaypaw backwards a bit. " There will be others," She murmered.
Lionpaw snorted at Jaypaw and Hollypaw, disgusted, before turning to Softheart. His tone of voice seemed to change as he watched Hollypaw comfort Jaypaw over something only Hollypaw, Jaypaw and Lionpaw knew. " You're right, just let me say this: I don't make challenges, I take them. Also, be careful. There are alot of things out there that even StarClan do not know."

Softheart nodded, restng her eyes on Jaypaw. She knew she had done something, she knew she should care. But her ignorance kept the she-cat locked out in the dark. Stop it before you do something stupid like Blacksteel. You don't get to talk to anyone anymore but your brother, leader and Rosedancer. Got it? The gray cat nodded to herself and withdrew a few paces from the family, now father back behind Wolfstar. Great. So stupidity runs in the family.

Shockingly, even Lionpaw tried to calm down Jaypaw, whose eyes were red, as if on the verge of tears. Hollypaw rested her tail on Jaypaw's shoulder and licked his ear. " There will be others;" She reassured. Lionpaw didn't realy know what Jaypaw was going to cry over, or how Hollypaw knew, but he knew he didn't like seeing his brother upset. With a confused glance at Softheart, Lionpaw prodded Jaypaw's side.

Me: *prods Jaypaw*
Jaypaw: Mmm?
Me: *sigh* OBVIOUS.
Jaypaw: Suttle.
Me: No, obvious.||

Hollypaw nudged Lionpaw. " Get Jaypaw back to camp. I'll be there in a moment." She mewed. Hollypaw confidentally moved towards Softheart. " Softheart, hear me out: Me and Jaypaw do what Lionpaw wishes. Why? Because we're family, the only family left in our heritage. And we're scared of him. Lionpaw has a temper. But before I go, Softheart, let me say this: You mean the world to someone in the Clan." With a brief smile Hollypaw padded off.

Oh no. I never did like the world- it's always out to get me. Softheart could only nod to the appretince as she went with her brothers. There was one thing she could understand about them: one of their family members was insane for power while the rest had to follow without the guidance of parents. It was a hard path to follow. But who would care about me enough? What have I done to anyone other then Blacksteel and Mistycloud. Nothing, you dolt. You can't do anything right.

Hollypaw paused and looked back at Softheart, a satisfied smile on her face. Her eyes drew to Jaypaw for a moment before Hollypaw took a different route towards the camp then her brothers were going.

Maybe she's messing with you. Yeah that's it- she's just mad at you for what you said to her and her brothers. Don't get yourself worked up about it. Softheart sighed and rested her chin on gray paws, looking to Wolfstar for some comfert from anything but this. Even she knew she wouldn't be able to find it. "Well, Wolfstar? Are we going to have her join or what?"

Hollypaw marched up to Softheart again, certain she didn't believe her. " Look, Softheart. I'm serious! I know you think I'm screwin' with you, but I'm not. Your a pretty she-cat, Softheart. And to someone else, your more than pretty. Your funny and smart to them. And kind. Now, I'm gonna go, Lionpaw is going to make Jaypaw into a waterfall." Hollypaw's tone was serious and stern as she padded towards camp, getting ahead of Jaypaw and Lionpaw easily.

Freckles watched the apprentices stalk away, trying to keep from clawing their fur out.
"Does the... Warrior Code emphasize respect, or... something?"
