Taintedstar burst into the OceanClan camp, the sand sprawling from beneath her paws and showering like rain would from the skies. The moon was ever so slowly beginning to fade as morning quietly crept up. The calico leader searched the empty looking camp for anyone who may know what was going on. There was no one in plain sight.
"The nursery." She said breathlessly and she headed for the nursery where all the kits should be.
Inside, the leader was frantic and confused; but outside, she displayed calmness and seriousness that she hoped was passing on to her Clan cats as well. The last thing they needed was turmoil and utter confusion if a kit was in fact missing... she needed cooperative cats so she could get to the bottom of this impossible situation. [/size]

Seapaw stared intensely at theocean, waves lapping upon the shore and drawing out sand. The sun just began to lighten the sky to a gray-blue, and the morning mist rolled through the air above the ocean. The calico apprentice's mind raced to conclusions as she wondered what had happened at the Gathering to keep the cats there so long.
Her fears were realized for thought she couldn't directly catch any fear coming from Taintedstar as the leader rushed into the clearing, yet she felt her heart pulsing quickly. She could recognize the signs of fear. She had been sitting by the ocean, not close to the camp, gazing at the starlight, wondering what StarClan had in store for the Clan. She had been just on her way home to get some rest when the leader burst in. Though her heart beat quickly, she stayed calm. "What is wrong?" She asked, breathing deeply to soothe her nerves.

Greypatch limped his way back into the camp, still bleeding from the cuts his sister gave him. Even if her friend put herbs on it, the wounds would still need more treatment. "Taintedstar... It was... It was my sister... DarkClan... They took the kits..." he rasped as he fell down from exhaustion. He could barely move anymore. "DarkClan took the kits..." [/center]

Whitefire quickly followed Taintedstar, matching her stride for stride. She was a bit saddend when Sandstone regected her offer, she loved taking care of kits. They made her feel whole. Only when she came into camp did she get a little scared for everyone. Whitefire was about to follow Taintedstar further inot camp when she noticed Greypatch walk up, blood running down his leg. "Greypatch!" She gasped as she ran up to him. Only when she heard his words did she get terrified. "A-are you sure? I thought your sister was dead..." She stood there with shock, then snapped out of it when he collapsed. "Seapaw!" There was a bit of haste in her voice. "I want you to get me some poppyseeds, marigold and cobwebs, and hurry!" Whitefire called out to her apprentice, then Whitefire gently licked Greypatch's wounds to help. "Stay with me Greypatch, please." [/size]

"Don't worry, it isn't my time to join StarClan just yet," Greypatch said. "There was a healer with her and she took care most of the wounds when I was laying there. I don't know how another cat to her than medicine cats could know about the herbs." He only felt weak from the blood loss, but it wasn't enough to put his life in danger. Scar had held back on that.
Why had she let me live to tell them about DarkClan? [/center]

Seapaw nodded and darted to the medicine cat's den, finding the herbs quickly. She bundled them together and brought them to her mentor, setting them beside her. She arrived in time to hear about the Healer, and thought about the dark Clan having a healer. "Maybe... Well, I guess they aren't really a Clan, but they act like it, so they want to mimic all the parts of Clanship." She looked down at her paws.

Taintedstar scowled. DarkClan? She had heard stories about them ever since she was a kit, but honestly, she never believed that the Clan that was not a Clan was still together today... all these moons, a faint flicker of hope made her feel that the band of cats had never even existed. What caused cats to become so corrupt?
"Thank you Greypatch." Taintedstar said, lowering her head in respect, "It is unfortunate you have been hurt by this DarkClan. I am sorry to hear about your sister..." What exactly she was sorry about was unknown to anyone but the leader.
Taintedstar quickly bounded for the smooth rock she stood upon for meetings. Standing on the smooth, high surface seemed to help her think more clearly, as if being a little bit higher off the ground brought her away from all the realities and din.
"Greypatch..." Taintedstar began again, calmly, "Which way did they head? Or better yet, have you any clue where DarkClan may hold camp?" [/size]

A Healer, in DarkClan? Maybe they do try and mimic us... Whitefire thought when Seapaw mentioned that they might try and mimic them. She took the herbs that Seapaw brought, put the cobwebs on the spots that where still bleeding, and chewed up the marigold to rub on them. Whitefire then pushes the poppyseeds in front of the old tom. "Eat these, it will help."
Whitefire looked up at Taintedstar as she bounded up on top of the rock. She wondered why the leader did that, but it was better not to question her. "Are you sure he would know. I don't even think any cat even has the slightest idea where they are." She looked worried, her ears twitching back to listen to any kind of sound. "But that loner, Midnight, he might know where it is." [/size]

"From what I can recall they live near Twoleg Place, but where is unknown. And I only know that from the rouges that sometimes pass though here," Greypatch said. "But I'm not sure now since that was from long ago." He licked up the seeds that Whitefire gave him and looked at her with thankful eyes. "Finally a well needed rest," he joked. "Well that is all I know about DarkClan Taintedstar." With that he got up and padded to his nest in the Elder's Den to fall fast asleep. [/center]

"Thank you Greypatch." Taintedstar said sincerely before looking to Whitefire, now addressing the medicine cat.
"Midnight? Where is Midnight, then?" Taintedstar asked hurriedly. She was so worried about the stolen kit that she felt almost helpless. She breathed in deeply; she couldn't let it show that she was ready to panic. Why, oh why, would this DarkClan steal a kit?! [/size]

Goldleaf shifted in her position on the sand, and then got up with a low grunt. The golden-orange tabby was getting on in years, and although she didn't exactly look it, she had earned her place as an Elder.
"What's all this, then?" Yowled Goldleaf, her white-tipped tail flicking behind her irritably. She looked as if she had just woken from a nap, as one of her ears was inside-out, with the fine white hair peeking out of it, though the old she-cat didn't appear to notice this in the least. Her soft, gold-flecked green eyes, sharpened and narrowed to slits as she locked them on Taintedstar. Yet, there was something not unlike concern in her gaze. Something was up, surely, and Goldleaf intended to be of use, despite her age. There was just no keeping down an old coot like 'Goldie'...
Well... unless there were dogs. Goldie didn't really like dogs... (ahem)
((I'm new... which I guess most of you noticed ^^;; I hope it's okay to post here and act like 'Goldie' knows everybody already... If not, I'll get rid of my post and you can ignore all this n_n;;; ))

Seapaw looked up worriedly as the older she-cat spoke. She shuddered with the renewed thought of the kit-stealing and invasion from the dark Clan. Wondering when they'd be saved, she simply watched from the sideline.

((of course thats fine sapphire ) Taintedstar turned to Goldleaf, nodding her head as she spoke, "While most of us were at the gathering, a kit was somehow stolen. Apparantly, it's the doing of DarkClan, even though they were thought to have broken up long ago..." [/size]

Whitefire tried to recall where Midnight had run off to. "I'm not sure where this Midnight is, I didn't pay much attention to him after he spoke about the kits. I think he might have followed another clan." She lowered her eyes, and the thought of them having to seek help from another clan to find out where they where made her uncomfortable. [/size]

Scar padded near the camp knowing that once she appears there will be great discontent towards the Clan since she attacked her brother, but she only did it to protect him mostly. She didn't know if Silver followed her, but in her heart she hope she didn't. This might meet the end for Scar, because she wouldn't fight back if they decide to attack her. Even Taintedstar should see reason if it meant getting the kit back.
