Get Ready For The Punishment

[arrowfeather]

Arrowfeather looked up at the Clan leader, thniking that it might not be best that they gave Keiogo prey, especially in leaf-bare.

[karoia]

Keiogo remained where he was, Kia still at his side. She continued to silently glare, especially at Hawkstar. The black tom wanted to let out a weary sigh but decided it was best to keep silent.

Is he going to be angry? Keiogo wondered.

Hawkstar looked half-friendly, but the tom knew a little about this JungleClan... Keiogo recalled hearing these cats were very hateful towards strangers, and also very proud. It wouldn't surprise him if he was suddenly chased out of the territory, but maybe he was told wrong about this Clan. It wasn't like he was told many details, and it had been quite a while ago. His green eyes clouded over as he was enveloped by old memories.

Sablestripe stood beside Arrowfeather, kneading the ground anxiously with her claws. As she waited for Hawkstar to speak, her eyes wandered to Keiogo's daughter, whose eyes seemed to burn into anything that moved. Sablestripe felt her indignation rising again. In her own eyes, the younger cat was a creature who considered herself too good to thank the Clan for leading Keiogo to her. The fur along Sablestripe's spine began to prickle subtly, and she tried, without much success, to force it back down.

Hawkstar looked back toward the entrance of the camp at Keigo and Kia. His eyes didn't leave them even when Dawnleaf spoke. His tail flicked twice at the sight of both of the rouges, Hawkstar wasn't one for rouges.
He turned back to the group of cats, and sighed. "Dawnleaf, I know you were acting as a Medicinecat when you found him and wanted to help, but offering help isn't always the best thing to do. As for the rest of you, you know what you're supposed to do when you see a rouge in our territory." His golden eyes went from one cat to the next and back again.
"So, because you failed to do what you were supposed to do, I'm afraid to tell you that you are not allowed to leave camp unless either Talonclaw, Redwing or I accompany you." Hawkstar felt it was right, even though he hated punishing them. He turned to Redwing. "Could you bring Keiogo and his daughter to me?"

Redwing nodded and left the group and bounded across the camp toward the black cat. She stopped a few feet in front of them and inclined her head. "Hawkstar would like to speak with you." She looked at Kia, and smiled. Redwing hoped that being friendly would help.

Talonclaw was just back from patrol.He saw two unfamilar cats,and after putting down his vole and mice down,he padded over to Hawkstar "Why are they here?" he asked quietly.

[Sable]

Sablestripe ground her teeth in humiliation and anger, but accepted Hawkstar's decision. It was only fair. She sighed and rose to her feet, muttering, "Yes. Sure. You're right." As she padded past Redwing, Sablestripe growled quietly, but still loud enough for the others to hear, "You really shouldn't waste your breath, Redwing. I suppose she's too good for rugged Clan cats like us." She walked past the fresh-kill pile, wishing she still had her vole.

[Dragon]

Dawnleaf only slightly nodded her head at Hawkstar, but she never let her glaze down. "I understand Hawkstar, but I think StarClan would have approve to my decision. There is more about these two then we might realize. But now I must take my leave to the den," she said giving a slight yawn. She turned away to take her leave to her den, but paced herself in case Hawkstar wanted her to stay. This was the first time she had gotten Hawkstar mad at her. I only hope StarClan thinks I did the right thing, she thought.

[karoia]

Keiogo wasn't expecting the unknown she-cat to approach him and his daughter. Kia began to growl deep in her chest, but Keiogo hushed her. Kia blinked, but did not say anything to the Clan cat. She just glared, but slight fear was in her eyes.

"Alright." Keiogo said in response. He didn't want to be difficult... and Kia was trying to be difficult. He walked back with Redwing to this Hawkstar. Kia grumpily followed.

Watching the other clan cats slowly walk away, Hawkstar turned to face the approaching cats. "Thank you Redwing, you may go now." She nodded and left the area to go take a nap in the warriors den. Hawkstar stepped forward to meet Keiogo, and sat down in front of him.
Then he heard Talonclaw approach. "Dawnleaf and a few other cats found him, and helped find his daughter, even though it seemed like the right thing to do, they knew what they were supposed to do..." He trailed off, not finishing his sentence.
"Im sorry you had to get yourself in this mess, Keiogo. Even if they were helping you find your daughter, and it seemed like the good thing to do, I believe it wasn't the best thing." Hawkstar sighed briefly, then continued. "I can offer you save passage from our territory, but once we reach the border, I do not want to see you again." His eyes were more sympathetic then anything else. Hawkstar hated it when he had to say such things, it wasn't him.

[Sable]

Sablestripe swiveled an ear backwards as she heard the last few strains of Hawkstar's words. She smirked to herself, glad that their efforts were rewarded with the two loners leaving. Finally! She thought. Sighing, Sablestripe pushed her way into the warriors' den, preparing for a quick nap.

[Dragon]

Dawnleaf gave a sigh of relief that at least Hawkstar wasn't too mad and padded quickly off to her den. Sleep was getting to her since so much had happen for the day. It reminded her back when she was an apprentice.

[karoia]

Keiogo lowered his eyes. "I am sorry to have troubled you. I was lost, I did not mean to enter JungleClan's territory." He explained to the larger Clan cat.

Kia stared at the large Leader with curiosity in her eyes, but she was silent as usual. Keiogo rose to his four white paws, "Don't worry about us returning. We will go back to where we belong, and I am thankful for your offer of a safe passage."
