Gorge

Tigerfern watched them warily then said "it is not for me to accept you into the clan, it is Ripplestars duty. If you wish to join them follow us and be respectfull" she gently grasped thunderfang by the scruff then with a powerful flick of her neck settled him onto her back. she murmured "its ok Thunderfang... you wont die, you cant die yet" She turned to stare into his eyes with her yellow ones full of emotion before she said "scarletpaw, and you two lets go" she began leading the way up the steep barely noticable path that lead out of the canyon. her cream and brown body trembling under thunders weight but refusing to let anyone else touch the brute that she loved so. Using every ounce of strength and muscle that she had built up under shadowstorms teaching she walked up with an impressive display of strength.

Thunderfang watched the two other wolves, a small smile as he watched them. The clan may lose one but they might receive to new fresh wolves to help out. For that he was glad and though weak and rather pathetic looking for such a large wolf he stood as tall as he could until Tigerfern started to help him. "Awe don't worry we'll all make it back..."

-Camp

Scarletpaw nodded and followed. She let a faint smile cross her muzzle as Tigerfern picked up her mentor and padded away. He won't die... He can't yet, Scarlet told herself as she padded back to camp. Every couple of minutes or so she looked back over her shoulder at the two strangers to see if they were following or not.

-Camp-

Cricket looked at the wolves and nodded to them. But soon after her gaze was on Fang. She looked at him with an expression that seemed to say "We need to do this.". Cricket then nudged him and said;
"Lets go."
The dark she-wolf ran to their camp.
-Sc Camp-

Ebonyfur stood in the way. She couldn't let her friend die. The female looked at the leader with saddened eyes. "Don't do this."she said. "Think about your pups, Stoatblaze."she said.

"i never said iw as going to kill myself! i came here to thiink" she snapped agitatedly. she stared into the gorge heartache filling up inside her. they were all right she was a stupid leader. what was the point... they all liked amberwing better

Swiftstorm ran in. He stood infront of his leader. "You need to prove to them that you can do this! Don't let that stupid deputy get in your way! IF she is trying to take over Kick her out! You are one of the best leaders I have ever know!"

Ebonyfur sighed and stood up straight. "Your the leader. You have to take control of the others. Just accuse them of breaking the warrior code."she said. "A leaders word is law."she said. "Make them remember that."

Swiftstorm ment this. "If you want I can go to my sister and get otter for you. She will listen to me. I promise!" He had mentfulness in his eyes. He ment what he said.

Ripplestar said quietly "if i kick anyone out they will hate me more, Tigerfern in particular..." she shoved her face into her mates fur. sadness in her heart, what was she going to do. Amberwing had the support of the clan while she only had support from three wolves. tears filled her eyes.

"If my kin was here we would stand by your side. Not that loner! Come on RIpple? Where is that fun love warrior!"

"I heard that Obsidianpaw is going to get Otterpaw to come back. SHe is on her way over." He looked at the other wolves. He sat down and waited.

Scarletpaw ran into the Gorge and her stomach twisted at the sight of her leader giving up hope. She'd ran all the way from ThunderClan territory here so she could tell the news to Ripple and Stoat rather than Amberwing having told them. "We tried, Ripplestar, Stoatblaze. But Otterpaw is bound to ThunderClan now. I don't think there's much more we can do..." She explained, her eyes full of sadness and sympathy for Ripple and Stoat. "We tried, honestly. But if Amberwing's done anything, she's made it worse. Not everyone agrees with her you know. You have my word and I'm completely loyal to you and you only just like the rest of us." she barked, trying to encourage her leader. She wasn't going to lie to her about Otter, but better hear it from her than Amberwing, right?

"Ripplestar you should make a new deputy. I have heard word that Amberwing might not want to be deputy. You should think about making a new one." He was hinting to himself. He thought he was the obvious choose!

Ripplestar sighed and looked at her paws thinking carefully she said "i will have to think about things" she stood nosing her mate and turned. walking off her paws hit the ground lightly and softly. her ears tilted back she walked along. she left for camp

Scarletpaw watched as Ripplestar walked away. It must be so hard for her..., she thought sympathetically as she shuffled her paws. She cast a glance around the area and noticed the bear's body was gone which made her shudder. Blinking wearily, Scarletpaw rose to her paws and yawned before heading off after Ripple back to camp. Her paws dragged along the ground tiredly as she went.

-Camp-

Swiftstorm walked after his leader. He hopped to become deputy. He would be able to help her. He began to run after her.
Camp

The little puppy trotted over to her rock pile another small rock in her mouth, she placed it down carefully her blue eyes glittering with pride. She was busy creating a rock fortress, the rock she had just put down finished off her first wall. Her light red tail whipped through the air wagging happily. The young puppy then scrambled off to find some more rocks, the hot greenleaf sun was beating down on her back but she was still enjoying herself. She had no idea of the 'cursed' past of the gorge. She was too busy having fun, her paws were extra sensitive to the soft dirt that covered the floor of the gorge, just as her ears could hear everything that was going on in it.

Gentleheart laid down when she go to the clearing waiting for Pinedusk. She didn't notice the pup building the rock fortress. It felt good to get out and stretch her legs. She had been cooped up in camp all day. She was feeling a little playful and she started to roll around, in the dirt.

The little red puppy perked her ears as she heard voices she looked up curiously and tilted her head and let out a curious yip. She wagged her little black, white and red tail. She nosed her fortress then turned and ran off her tail curled over her back. She began moving a large rock toward her castle, her blue eyes glittering with happiness. Her fur was all over the place as she worked in the intense heat.

Gentleheart got up when she saw that Pinedusk had arrived. "yes its nice to just get out of camp for awhile and enjoy the air." she pricked her ears when she heard a small little yip. she walked around until she saw a little pup making what looked like a rock fortress. "hello little one, are you loss?" she asked smiling the pup didnt smell like another clan.
