AdderShadow's ship song is "At last I see the light" you can't change my mind. ))

Shadowpaw blinked at Adderpaw in surprise, then nodded. "Right. Leaves." She turned, spotting a holly bush a few fox lengths away. "Aha! Found some." She bounded over to the bush, looking back at Adderpaw with a smile. A real, genuine smile. How is he doing this? Making me nervous, and making me smile?

Adderpaw smiled back at her before following in her paw prints that she had imprinted in the soft, powdery snow. Finally in front of the round, prickly bush, he grabbed a leaf with his claw. Going to grab another, he flinched as one of the sharp edges pierced his paw pad. "ow! annoying leaf." he grumbled, shaking his paw. A scarlet droplet fell onto the snow, turning a white snow red. Ignoring the pain, he grabbed the leaf with his teeth and spat it out. "How to the warriors not get injured making their masks?" he joked, turning towards Shadowpaw.

(Yay! Also, Shadowpaw's entire(or at least part) exsistance is explained by "Behind The Scenes" by Francesca Battistelli.)

omg- my mom used to listen to this song all the time- asdfghfdsafegdfsafs- ))

Shadowpaw shrugged. "No idea." She replied, "Getting brambles probably gives those ThunderClan cats at least a few scratches." She thought for a moment. "Then again, maybe they're just really careful with it." She glanced at the red patch in the snow, feeling a brief flash of concern before scolding herself. It's just a leaf, Shadowpaw. He'll be fine.

Adderpaw looked down at his paw and put it down into the chilling snow, the cooling feeling made Adderpaw sigh in relief. Grabbing a few more holly leaves with his claw, and with the help of the amazing, beautiful, talented, Shadowpaw of course, soon the two soon had a small pile. "I think this is enough." he mewed, "we can find some Pine Leaves later, I just wanna get these home." he huffed, grabbing a mouthful of the sharp leaves, he stood up. Shadowpaw following. The two apprentice began walking home when Adderpaw noticed the place he had left the squirrel, was empty! "wait" his mew was muffled, his eyes darkening with confusion, "what happening to my squirrel?" he mewed, pointing at the empty spot. The snow was pressed in and trail of paws disappearing past the bare, skinny looking pine trees.

(The 'amazing, beautiful, talented' bit made me smile.)
"Something must have taken it." Shadowpaw muttered, dropping her clump of holly leaves. "Or maybe someone came out here from camp and took it back, but how would they do it without us seeing?" She unsheathed her claws, her fur bristling. "Something's wrong." She crouched low to the ground, ready to spring if anything came out. "We should get out of here."

Adderpaw sniffed the air, confused and afraid. When he smelt rotten food and something strong and tangy, his nose scrunched up in disgust. "Someone's there.." he whispered, a frost cloud billowed out of his mouth as he spoke. Perking up his ears, he could hear clumsy footsteps, pawsteps loudly crunching the snow. Adderpaw fell into a crouch, his tail bristling and his claw unsheathed. "Lets hide in a tree," he mewed, "the camps to far away!" Turning his head, a thick tree stood tall, he nudged Shadowpaw and watched as she hesitated to walk over. "quick!" he whispered louder as the pawsteps grew louder. Any cat could hear them from a mile away! They're walking louder than a badger!!

okay- sooo. Should we introduce BloodClan?? cuzzzz, im thinking we should- ))

(The 'amazing, beautiful, talented' bit made me smile.)

Im glad! :))

oh! hey Mosis! if you want, you could be one of the BloodClan cats! ))

(Yay! BloodClan means drama! Whoo~)
Shadowpaw scrambled up the tree, climbing up past the first few branches, pulling herself onto a thick, sturdy looking branch and digging her claws into the wood. Her heart was racing, and she was sure that whoever was coming would hear it. "Hurry!" She whisper-yelled down to Adderpaw, her pelt bristling as fear crept into her voice.

Adderpaw didn't waste a moment more as he scrambled up the tree, he heard the bushes rustle and he crawled even faster. He almost slipped but jumped on the nearby branch just as his hindleg slipped out from under him. He dug his claw into the thick branch as he peeked through the leaves, his eyes widened as he saw a group of cats, all battle scarred and massive in size. Around their necks where collars, like one a kittypet would wear, but the collar were dirty and torn with, what looked like, teeth poking through them on every side. In the front of the group stood the tallest and biggest cat he'd ever seen. Was that even a cat?!? "W-who are they?" he whispered. The massive cat silenced the hushed and excited whispers from the group, they lifted their chin and meowed with a sure tone. "BloodClan! we have been offered many moons ago by the one they call, Shadowstar." Adderpaw's eyes widened as the…"BloodClan" cats mentioned their leader. Shadowpaw seemed surprised to. The leader continued, "He had said that they hold a…ball every year during snow-season. I have decided, BloodClan will try and partake in this." The leader perked up and turned towards a silver tabby, "Shatter! did your group bring the food?" the tabby nodded, Adderpaw stretched his head over to leaves to see.. Shatter holding what looked like a messy piece of fresh-kill, but a bone stuck out from the bottom. He could smell it from here, its smelt odd but interesting. Adderpaw took another step closer to get a better view, Shadowpaw gasped went to go reach out to grab him but it was to late.

(Wait, does Adderpaw fall out of the tree? Cause it seems like that's what you're saying…)

yeah, he fell out lol ))

(Okay. Thanks for clearing that up!)
"Adderpaw!" Shadowpaw quickly made her way down the tree, no longer caring about the BloodClan cats. She rushed to Adderpaw's side and nudged him with her nose. "Adderpaw, a-are you okay?" She stared at him for a moment, then looked at the BloodClan cats, who were now all staring at her. She stepped between them and Adderpaw, claws out and pelt bristling.

Adderpaw stumbled to his paws, he looked up to see Shadowpaw in front of him, hissing and bristling. The leader of the BloodClan cats stepped forward. The she-cat was massive. A torn green collar around her thick furred neck with teeth and claws embedded into it, the teeth where blackened and cracked and the claws were rusted with a dried blood. The she-cat curled her lip, baring her large teeth. Adderpaw glanced at the she-cat paws, they where as big as his head with massive, sharp claws out. Adderpaw jumped beside Shadowpaw, his fur bristling and he growled loudly. The she-cat lifted her chin, Adderpaw could see clearly that there was a long scar running from her bottom lip, all the way down her her belly. Adderpaw was terrified but he needed to defend his clan! "W-Who are you!" his voice cracked in fear, the she-cat bent down. "My name is Chill" Chill's voice stank of rotten food and blood. "I am BloodClan's leader," she growled. "We are looking for Shadowstar…" the scarred brown-and-white she-cat backed away, still looking down at them with narrowed violet eyes.

Shadowpaw lashed her tail. "You think we're just goinna take you to him?" She hissed, "What do you want with him?" She couldn't help being suspicious of the newcomers. She had never even heard of BloodClan before.

Adderpaw nodded, agreeing. Chill flicked her torn ear. "so you know him…?" Adderpaw rolled his eyes, "yes! he's our leader!" Chill slowly nodded, "I see. Shadowstar came into the city many moons ago, he came into the alley where BloodClan lives,he was with a pretty molly. He said he were looking for us, then he mentioned a…Leaf-bare Ball.." Adderpaw's eyes widened. "who was the she-cat?" "she had a black pelt, round amber eyes, and white spots." Adderpaw paused, there was no one in ShadowClan with that description..well, except Strangespots but, he's a tom.. Chill continued, "he told us it was an event where all the clans come together and have, well, a ball." Adderpaw looked over at Shadowpaw, this she-cat knows a lot! he thought.

Shadowpaw returned Adderpaw's glance, then gave Chill a curt nod. "Fine. Follow us." She turned, grabbing her pile of the holly leaves and walked in the direction of camp. I still don't trust them, but if Shadowstar invited them, then I guess we have to take them to him.

Of course Z! ))
