<> JointClan, BloodClan & Branch Pack <> Part 4 <> We Gotta Stick Together <> ((PLEASE CLOSE FOR PART 5))

Stripepaw padded slowly around the forest that was JointClan territory, and came upon the small little stream that ran through the territory, and he sat down on a rock and stared at the water. He didn't hear the small pawsteps of a cat from behind, and suddenly Stormwind was behind him, and Stripepaw didn't notice.. Yet.

Toothfang sighed and hopped up onto the highrock. "Clan meeting!" He yowled.

Stripepaw wasn't in camp, and nor was Stormwind, to hear Toothstar's yowl. Stripepaw sighed, and stared into the water, and suddenly Stormwind pinned Stripepaw down, near the water, very near. "What do you want?" Stripepaw asked calmly, voice cracking a bit.
~~~
Hazelpaw, Smallpaw, Lionpaw and Cloudpaw gathered though, and Wolfstar stood up to listen to Toothstar.

Amberheart pricked her ears. She sensed danger with Stripepaw. She crept toward where he left, only to find Stormwind pinning him. She hissed softly, only Stripepaw could hear.

Hazelpaw wondered where Stripepaw was.
~~~
Stripepaw tried not to smile when he heard his mom. "What do you want?" He repeated, and Stormwind looked him in the eye. "You can hear voices, right?" Stormwind asked, and Stripepaw nodded, holding back a sharp response. "Good. I want to see something." Stormwind growled.

Amberheart growled, louder. "Stay away from Stripepaw!" She hissed and pounced, pinning Stormwind. "You wanna see your fox dung of a mate." She growled.

Stormwind remained calm, and Stripepaw leapt up, holding back a cheer. "Yes. But I'm not doing anything wrong. I don't know if it'll work, and if it does, you could talk to Branchstar, couldn't you?" He said.

Amberheart hissed. "You know StarClan cats come to who they want to. I Know. Mellowheart and you only bothered my and Branchstar." She spat. "And if you even try to do anything with Stripepaw, you'll be crowfood." She threated.

" I wasn't going to hurt him." Stormwind said calmly, "Don't you wonder why Branchstar doesn't come to you? Or your kits?" He said, looking at Stripepaw. "Maybe he can't.. Or doesm't want to." At this point, Stripepaw growled deeply, and glared at STormwind with hate in his eyes.

Amberheart growled. "I know why, and it's none of your problem! Anyway, leave. Wolfstar will here of this, he is the head leader." She growled. "I don't trust a single hair on your pelt, traitor." She hissed. "Stripepaw, report to Wolfstar." She commanded.

Stripepaw nodded, and raced off toward camp. "Wolfstar!" He called, dashing through the entrance. Wolfstar looked at him. "Yes?"
~~~
Stormwind shrugged, and pushed her off. "Fine, don't trust me. You do know why? Then educate me." Stormwind said.
~~~
Stripefur looked at Stripepaw and the look on his face. Then he thought of Stormwind, he was probaly doing something bad.

Amberheart hissed and braced herself. "Nice try. No way you are gonna know my secret." She snarled. "I'd tell any cat but you, Stormwind."

"Secret? Now there is secrets.. Hm." Stormwind said, talking in an accent almost like his brother. He had a secret of his own. Nobody knew, nobody. Or did somebody?
~~~
"Stormwind attacked me in the forst and is talking to my mom."Stripepaw said quickly. Wolfstar growled. "I'll kill that stupid piece of fur," He vowed softly.
~~~
Stripefur heard what they said, and felt dread stir in the pit of his stomach.

Amberheart growled. "I'll make a deal. You tell me all your secrets, and I'll tell mine."


(Make Stripepaw say Stormwind wants to use his powers.)

(( Got it.))

Stripepaw looked at Wolfstar. "He wants to use my powers.." Wolfstar looked at him. "Powers? Oh." He knew exactly what it was.
~~~
Stormwind growled, "Never. I don't trust you." He said, and Stripefur back at camp drifted away slowly. Out of camp.

Amberheart smiled. "Would yoiu trust my if I told you Darkfang is my uncle?" She asked.



(say YES)

(( Fine. But if Amberheart gets mad, just know that Stormwind said it not me. xDD ))

"You won't like it, but fine." He said. "I have a partner. Stripefur." He started, and Stripefur appeared as if on cue. "I was going to contact Mellowheart through Stripepaw and-" He stopped.

Amberheart tumbled. "St-Stripefur, but-" She stopped. She saw Toothstars ear.

Stripefur looked at her with sad eyes. " I don't want to. He's threatened me." He said somberly.
~~~
Stormwind rolled his eyes at his brother,.

Amberheart growled. "you WHAT?" She snarled. she flicked her tail. "Y-You threated? what did you say." She growled.


~~~~

Toothstar listened carefully.

"He's going to kill me, literally, and Wolfstar. We're not friends, Wolfstar and I, but I'm not letting anyone die.." Stripefur stopped slowly.
~~~
Stormwind sighed. "JointClan really is stupid. Mellowheart and I planned to kill her, bring her back.. Yada yada."

Amberheart growled. "Well, supposedly you want to hear my secret." She hissed.

Stripefur looked awkwardly away. Anyone die? Someone was going to, but what could he do to warn them? He was gonna risk his life.
~~
Stormwind nodded. "Go on."
~~~
Stripefur looked at Amberheart. "Do you know how he is going to bring back Mellowheart? He's going to kill Stripepa-" He was cut off, STormwind lunged at him.

Rainpaw hopped up to the rock for a Clan meeting, wondering why the clearing seemed so empty. "Where is everybody?" She asked, looking around warily. With a gasp, she exclaimed, "Where did Stripepaw go?"

Amberheart batted Stormwind back. "Hey, waych it." She growleld. As long as I'm around your staying back." She hissed. "So there's something I don't know!" She questioned. "WEll, I have many secrets, only one of yours won't open my mouth!"

~~~

Toothstar raced back to camp. He hopped onto the highrock and panted. "Clan meeting! Hurry!"
