Darkstar's Den

Darkstar sat down tiredly into his soft nest. "Pumpkinpaw, why were you so disrespectful? Especially in front of another leader? " he asked, anger and hurt in his voice.

Pumpkinpaw scowled. "I wasn't being disrespectful. That kit deserves more than just 'a light punishment' like you said. It's unfair that she can get away with a scraped paw, while we starve!" His ears flattened to his skull.

"yes, but I have my reasons for what I said. Pepperpaw never got away with the prey and her intentions were good. I have probably been seen in a bad light by you and many others, but I am not ashamed of what I did even if you did not agree with me, do not question me. " Darkstar mewed tiredly. He wasn't lying, he really did believe what he did was right.

"Oh, so any cat can steal prey from any clan as long as their intentions are good!?" He hissed. Deep down, Pumpkinpaw felt sick that he was yelling at his leader. But regardless, he shook it off. "I'm not understanding what you are thinking, Darkstar."

"Pepperpaw was already in enough trouble without me shreiking at her. I was trying to calm her down. If I let any cat hurt her, we'd have a battle on our paws. That's all I could think of doing." he mewed cooly. He was getting tired of being questioned for his actions.

RedDash padded past hearing the conversation Dark and Pumpkin were having

Pumpkinpaw flicked an ear. Darkstar was right..no matter how bad he hated to admit it. He let out a heavy sigh. "I see.."

Darkstar's gaze softened. "it's good to see that you'd be so fearless for your Clan." dark smiled

"Darkstar" Red said padding into the den "I'm going hunting care to join?"

"Sure. Pumpkinpaw, do you want to join us?"

Pumpkinpaw got up to his paws and shook his head. "No thank you."

She smiled at pumpkin and flicked her tail padding out and looks back waiting for dark

"Alright. Please tell Icefang that he's in charge while I'm gone." Darkstar mewed, padding out of his den.

She purred licking her paws before padding put of the camp

Pumpkinpaw nodded and left out of the den in a huff. He slinked over the apprentices' den were he laid in his nest.

Echo padded into his den

(Dark went hunting with red dash, maybe she could ask pumpkin where he is?

(kay) Echo sees hes not in and sees pumpkin, she follows him

Darkstar sits in his nest. "Please make yourselves comfortable." he said to Dust and Lightning. They sat close together, looking a bit nervous.

She sat next to Darkstar watching the two cats with narrowed eyes

"Please fell at home. You will not be harmed." Darkstar smiled. "RedDash, they wanted to join the Clan and I am willing to let them. Do you agree with this?" he asked, wanting to hear her opinion.

"Well" she said walking to them "I think they should join" she looked them up and down before looking back at him coldy

"Okay, please follow me." he mewed, standing up and padding out of his den to High Rock.

She nodded and followed him slowly looking at the med den
