ShadowClan Camp

The ShadowClan camp is situated in a grove of mangroves where the water has long since dried up, since before the Clans arrived. To make dens, the members have woven leaves and twigs through the top of the exposed roots. The camp gets fairly muddy in leafbare but is pleasantly cool and sheltered from the hot greenleaf sun. The leader's den is directly underneath one of the biggest mangroves, and when addressing the Clan the leader leaps up onto the 'roof' of their den.

(OOC: Gentle the eyes are only in thunderclan. Shadowclan has the deadly mist/food combo)

Nightstar shook his head at Jesterpups words and left the pup to stew on his own. He himself knew the pain of betrayal that the pup was going through and it was one of the many reasons he was so cold himself. He missed seeing the two pups come back in but he did not miss the sound of a cry from the medicine wolf den. His paws started to lead him that way when he spotted Sleetpup attempting to leave the camp. "Sleetpup you can clean out the apprentice den seeing as how you have nothing better to do." he told him as Blackwidow approached his side. They would need that den very shortly afterall what with the pups becoming apprentices at Moonrise.

His ears flickered slightly with worry at the news Blackwidow gave and his head turned to the camp entrance. "Others are still out there." he mummered to himself. "I don't know what has happened but I am going to speak with Ivyshade now. Take another warrior and head to the fire swamp we have warriors there. Howl if you must to find them but I want everyone back in camp now." he told the red and black female before padding into the medicine wolf den.

"Ivyshade do you have a moment?" he asked the white female as he entered. Seeing Tremblepup huddled up near her nest that appeared to be squirming had the leader moving closer to her and sniffing the nest. A growl rippled through his chest at the smells coming off it and his head appeared into the camp clearing with narrowed green eyes. "SILVERPUP AND MAURDERPUP!" he shouted calling them over and speaking to them once they were at his paws, "I want the warrior den spotless before sundown. You do NOT leave the camp much less to bring crow food back in. Go." He turned away dismissing the pair as he dropped his head and gave the small pup a lick over her head before going to the most secluded part of the medicine den.

Hearing Nightstar bellow for his siblings, the red and black pup smirked devilishly to himself, here it seemed was away to get his brothers and sister owng him. Getting up and exiting the nursery he glanced about and spotted Nightstars tail stickinig out of the medicine den slipped over and lightly pawed at him speaking very seriously “Nightstar, please, don't blame Silverpup and Marauderpup, they're innocent of this despicable act towards Tremblepup, it was Sleetpup. I spotted him coming back from outside the camp with a bundle of crowfood in a leaf. You see he's obsessed unhealthily with Tremblepup and since she dosent know him he concoted this scheme to get into her heart only it backfired. She rejected him and then he went out and wasted prey by destroying the small rabbit he brought for her and tossing it back on the pile” his words were very soft spoken so only the leader could hear him. It made logic to him and he knew very well that Nightstar had a definite soft spot for him, shooting Tremblepup a slightly sinister smile he slipped back out of the den quite confident he'd just ruined Sleetpup's chances of getting it on with Tremble. Paddng back to the nursery he shot his siblings a wicked smirk “If you're going to prank me do it properly, You owe me one for getting it blamed on that white idiot instead of yourselves” with that he paused to look up as the mist started to thicken a grin spreading on his features. This was bound to be interesting and he couldn't wait to see how it all turned out, not bothered by the darkness he found a place to sit and scratch his torn ears absently.

Nightstars fangs flashed in a snarl when he heard Sleetpups words and his head dipped down to listen as Jersterpup spoke to him. "Thank you for telling me Jesterpup." he told the black and red male. He turned his hard green eyes to Sleetpup and a solid paw sent him sprawling. "Firstly you do not talk back at me. Just as you don't talk back to elders warriors or deputies. Secondly if I tell you tell clean something you jump to it without questions. Antpaw is training and so only cleans where she sleeps I want the entire den cleaned for the apprentices that will soon be moving in there. Thirdly for you stunt with putting maggots of all things in Tremblepups nest you can clean the warrior den also now instead of Silverpup and Mauderpup. You have until sundown to finish the apprentice den and I want the warrior den done before sunhigh tomorrow. Now get out of my sight." He snarled at the pup. He had a soft spot for all the pups and showed them limited affection in grooming them all while talking to them but it did not allow them to get away with speaking back to him or leaving the camp. The only reason Tremblepup hadn't been punished was because she was with Ivyshade collecting moss.

OOC: Um Sleet, i specifically said that only Night could hear him bc he was talking into nights ear dude

Returning to camp first he hung near the enterance paitently until the others had returned, once Minkfur, Thrusheart and blackwidow had returned he glanced about the camp seeing that Ghostheart was still where he'd left him. Shaking his head with a scowl he made his way over to Nightstar to report “Found Cheshiregrin with a loner named Sol, they left once asked, this infernal mist is spouting out of the marsh” it was better to get information out now before rumors and speculations started flying about everywhere. He noted Jesterpups jaunty and somewhat smug return to the nursery and narrowed his gaze wondernig what kind of mischief the evil little brat had done to look so pleased with himself. When it came to Jesterpup Dragonsteel did not see eye to eye with Nightstar, the pup was corrupted by some dark evil force, not one for believing in nonsense such as Starclan and some dark forest thing. Whatever this mist was it didn't bode well, and he had little doubt that it would start to effect the weaker wolves first, it was somewhat unnerving, he usually didn't believe in such rubbish but the chill in the air and the way the mist lapped at his fur bordered on the supernatural. He'd be the laughing stock of the ring at this pace, snorting to himself he spotted Sleetpup and sighed seeing the pup cower, dipping his head to Nightstar he turned and padded into the warriors den to nudge the pup “Easy there little one, you're allright” he rumbled quietly guessing that whatever Jester had done had been to do with the white pup

Nightstar looked at Ivyshade and shook his head at her question. "A mist has come upon us much like that we see in Leaf Bare but this one started when the sky went dark. I have a feeling more is to come from it however." he told the medicine wolf softly, "It is some of the thickest mist we have seen yet. Warriors are reporting that you can not see far around you and have been getting lost in it." The leader looked towards the entrance and frowned slightly seeing it growing darker like the camp was being swamped in the mist. "I need you to keep a close eye on the pups, they are the weakest in the clan and I fear that there is more to this than just a mist. If even one gets so much as a sniffle I want to know about it." the brown male said looking over at Tremblepup with a flash of concern flickering through his green eyes. His attention swung back around to Ivyshade fixing her with his green gaze. "The other thing I wished to speak with you about is the pups. Have you found anyone in this lot that you wish to take on as an apprentice?" Nightstar asked tilting his head slightly in Tremblepups direction. He had noticed the pup was now following the white female around and had a hunch she wanted to train her up as the next medicine wolf of Shadowclan.

Nightstars claws left a groove in the ground at Ivyshades words about the fog and his gaze turned towards the fire swamp. "That is not a good sign. You are right panic will do us no good." he replied, "I am going to confine Antpaw to camp unless she is with a warrior and none are to go out without another warrior. If you need to go out take a warrior with you, I don't want to lose anyone to this mist." He knew that she did not have to listen to his words as she was the medicine wolf but he also knew she was smart and would understand why he had said that he didn't want her out on her own. "Are you low on any herbs? If so take two warriors and try to find what you may need. I don't want you to run out suddenly if something goes wrong." he requested standing. Her words about Tremblepup confirmed his thoughts that she had been thinking of taking her own as an apprentice and he nodded at her words. "Then she will be yours once she is old enough." With those words he left the cave and entered the clearing looking around slowly.

The brown male was making his way over to the leaders ledge above his den to get a better vantage point to count the wolves at home because he had a feeling some had yet to return when he heard a voice calling out that was not of the clan. His head snapped towards the new female and a feral snarl nearly exploded from his chest at the rogue who dared to enter his clans home. His pelt bristled making his form even larger as he slunk closer to the tiny female on silent paws waiting until he was behind her before he let the snarl out as his fangs sunk into her grey hide roughly. He shook his head sharply twice before dropping the fae as he loomed over her with blood covered fangs. "Weaklings aren't accepted here." he told her growling loudly, "Leave before I change my mind and kill you."

{OOC:
-3 HP for injury}

Lifting his head when he heard a voice of a weak willed creature, the black and red pup got up and slunk out of the den and listened. Nightstar gave the wretch a fair enough warning, however instead of listening the stupid wuss started babbling, before she got even half way through he was over there and cut her off coldly “Shut your freaking trap you maggot ridden piece of filth. We dont want a stupid weakling in our pack, we are the strong Shadowclan and you're a waste of fur. Now Unless you want Nightstar and the other warriors of our clan to rip you to shreds i'd take my little grey behind and scamper out of our territory. Of course if we decide not to rip you into shreds and torture you instead we will leave you alive to slowly bleed out in the swamp where your body will never ever be found. Go somewhere you're actually wanted you pathetic piece of fly leavings” His yellow eyes glittered with venom, his voice cold and filled with hate, if one knew what Jesters father looked like, one would say he was the spitting image of Cicero. “Honestly you've got some dumb luck, finding our camp in the middle of this mist, Perhaps you're a spy, oh wait no you're not you're far too useless for that. This is your final warning weakling, leave this camp and territory, or you'll be tortured or killed maybe both and then fed to me for supper” laughing sickeningly he threw his head back as he did so. “Go for her eyes Nightstar, make her blind and whimper even more, dig out her insides and shove maggots in their place!” grinning sickeningly revealing his sharp white fangs the evil pup snickered again and shook out his thick fur the twisted grin still on his muzzle. He looked at Nightstar the glitter in his eyes silently encouraging the big brown wolf forward, he wanted to bask in the misery he knew the male could deliver. Maybe the dark forest wolves that existed in the world would drag the females soul down to the dark forest and torture her, burn her, hurt her, the very idea made him giddy.
