DawnWhisper twitched his whiskers and seemingly tried to hide behind Ben who was the same size as the Shadowclan runt, so it didn't work so well. DawnWhisper looked at the other cats and panicked a little, how bad this must look to the other clan cats, much less the cats he knew.
"Shouldn't you let me explain else where.....not so public?" He growled a bit more out of worry then any meanness.
"Oh shush your trap boy, speakin' so harshly to the nice she-cat that you've gone an' upset. It be about time, that the cat got out o' the bag so to speak."
The tom moved away from DawnWhisper, his movements and accent would be very familiar to the Windclan medicine cats. Like they heard it before, or perhaps even heard it a lot, just not so heavy. His one good eye scanned the cats among them.
"I've been tranin' this young runt for awhile. There are limitations to us runts, that you full grown cats can't understand. Some of the fighting moves you use won't work for us. We come 'ere to practice the moves, right boy?"
Ben said glaring at DawnWhisper for a moment. "I thought you said the knew...."
"They do......some.....two of them do........almost sorta three........." DawnWhisper said puffing his tail a bit.
" 'Ave you even kept your promise?" Ben asked sounding a little riled.
"Ben, I've tried, but it's not exactly easy to ask other clans about their warriors or rouges they've chased off." DawnWhisper groaned thinking of how many times he had gotten fussed at for trying to ask questions at gatherings.
Ben growled a bit and looked back to the other cat. "I'm looking fer someone I used to know, he is a right big tom, with one bad eye. Black and white is his fur color and he used to go by the name of Tornado Tom. Do ya know 'im? Any of you? We grew up together see and I don't feel right without 'im around." Ben seemed to feel weak at admitting this, but he missed the huge tom and sparing partner.

Redleaf was about to explain the dream he had received, then something caught his attention. The silhouettes of two cats outlined in the dark, and one of their scents was familiar. He wriggled his nose anxiously, nervous that these two could pose a threat. One of the cat's scents was Shadowclan, and when Dawnwhisper's name was spoken, he froze. Dawnwhisper was of Shadowclan, but whom was the other tom?
His tail fluffed up defensively, slightly afraid of this rogue. The scars on his face and the large hole of a scar on his leg caught his attention. What had happened to this tom? Redleaf felt worried for the time, and if the scars were fresh, he probably would've bolted home to find any leftovers herbs which weren't dieing.
"Tornado Tom?" He couldn't suppress a question, eyes wide with surprise. "Isn't that... Tornadotail?" Rumors had spread to Thunderclan about a giant tom by the name of Tornadotail who fit the tom's description. Redleaf blinked, shuffling his paws together nervously.

HeartPool glanced at redleaf and nodded slightly before looking to the windclan cats... "It does sound just like him...." She turned back and twitched her tail.
She frowned at DawnWhisper. Then looked to the black tom. "So... your here simply to find your friend and train DawnWhisper.... who should have gone to his mentor..."She said this all very pointedly but still she was pretty relaxed. If the tom attacked there were enough of them and even if DawnWhisper helped the tom instead of his medicine cats they were all strong cats and could beat the two runts.
There could be a reason starclan sent them this night at this time... maybe they knew something... at least maybe the Black tom did. "Please Excuse the rudeness...I am HeartPool of shadowclan, I am a medicine cat there... All the others here are also medicine cats." She nodded. "DawnWhisper could have told you this is sacred ground...Although i give him the fact he didnt know we would be here...."
How to get information from the tom ...without blowing cover.... With a sigh she said softly. "We are discusing the problems in which our clans may face in the upcoming moons because of this dreaded heat..." She glanced a DawnWhisper.
Surely he would have said something if the tom had told him anything of importance...Wait...maybe not...how would he have described where he had heard it... She muttered lightly then looked up. One of the other cats visions stuck in the back of her head. Rogues didnt carry any scent of the clans...and kittypets didn't either... "Do..Do rogues usually gang up on one cat for the sport of it...."well it was a blunt question but still she wanted to know what the cats in the dream could mean.
"We have seen traces of rogues about the territory and wanted to know if we shouldn't let the hunters go hunting alone...." all this was a lie of course but maybe it wouldn't look so peculiar. She twitched her tail lightly a nervous habit, one that to anyone who knew her would know instently she was lying...good thing only KoiSplash was the only one who knew her that well. Larksparrow and starpelt would know though that there hadnt been any rogues on their territory...she just hoped they would keep their mouths shut.

Cinderpelt gazed calmly at the two runts through half-slitted golden eyes. Her perked ears were the only sign of her keen interest in what they had to say. When talk of the large black and white tom began and Redleaf identified him as Tornadotail, the thunderclan medicine cat opened her eyes a little wider and flicked her tail tip. She hadn't met the Windclan tom, but had heard much about him.
"Of course," She murmured to herself, then gazed straight at the small rogue tom, Ben, "It seems you were close to Tornadotail; why didn't he tell you where he went before he left?" It was strange to find the shadowclan warrior and this rogue prowling about so far from the Clan's territories, but Cinderpelt was more interested in the half stories that seemed to be flitting back and forth between the two small toms.

DawnWhisper looked to the ground away from everyone. He had been wrong, but he was stronger for the clan thanks to Ben, both in confidence and skill. There was still no excuse and he felt ashamed.
"Tornadotail eh? Hmm big tom is he? I heard your clans had .....different names...did he join ya'? Perhaps he took your way o' namein' cats?.
Ben's attention was brought back to Heartpool as she spoke. His half tail twitched and he bit at some fleas on his chest.
""Trainin' the boy was not somethin' I planned. I heard tell that Tornado might 'ave come this way. His menteeer couldn't 'ave taught 'im what I did. Don't get me wrong, fine cat that Plumgaze, but he ain't a runt is he? He don't understand a runt's body none of ya do. I make it a point to help fellow runts and I hoped he could help me too."
Ben growled at the mention of rouges, it seemed he thought himself different from them, even though he was one really.
"Fer sport? Maybe.....but unlikely, rouges normally want somethin' if their in a group. If they are houndin' a particular cat he probably got information that they want.....or a huntin' ground. ......Now that you mention it I heard that Blackheart and his gang were seen near here. Bad group they are......BlackHeart, Ricochet, Bulldog, and Crookshaw. " Ben spat a bit and flexed his claws. "If they be about I wouldn't want to be alone, if I were you, and don't be fooled by their bedraggled appearance neither, specially Ricochet his missin' a leg but he got the mind of a sly fox and toughness of a tiger."
Ben turned his attention to Cinderpelt calming down a bit as she asked her question.
"Was being the key word, Tornadotail don't know I'm alive........" Ben's head suddenly hung and his voice cracked. "He thinks I'm dead like the rest of em'.....that's why I'm looking for him. He is all I got left that I can call family....................I......I wanted to see if we could gather followers and take our revenge...., but now I just want to be where he is."

HeartPool frowned. Rogues... What could they do... maybe...maybe they were coming to the forest...if they were that bad... That could be the dream...They could be the fire..but four cats? there had to be more then that if it was a danger all the clans were needed for...
"Revenge?" her tail twitched ever so slightly. "Revenge against who? Those four rogues?" She tipped her head quizzically. maybe thats what had been meant... if tornadotail was part of Windclan now it was windclans problem too... what ever it was they were going against could be what the clans needed to stop...But did it have anything to do with blood?
She perked her ears and waited... maybe this was why starclan dragged them to where they were gaathering... Ben was to help them figure out the dreams...

Koisplash had been silent, and was just listening to what the other medicine cats, and now Dawnwhisper and the rogue had to say. He was trying to figure how things all fit together. The visions and what the black tom said. This was too much of a coincidence after all.
"So... These four loners... They're around, and you with a bunch of other cats want to kill them." He said. Could these cats be the ones in Heartpool's visions? They were going to stop the fire that's to come, or bring it?
"I bet they were the ones stealing the food from Windclan." That was one thing that Koisplash thought was probable. "Have you scented them anywhere near the moors?"
((I'm not very caught up so please excuse any mistakes I made. ><))

Stitcheddream cautiously and quietly made her way to highstones. She was confused, and tired, and really wished she had some idea of what was going on, but for now she just knew she needed to get to highstones. Getting closer she nodded, yep, there was plenty of other cats there and she was definitely late. Biting her lip she sped up.
Once she entered she looked around at everyone, taking in the many different scents of cats. Oh Starclan I must look so lost... She straightened up a bit, wondering how much she had missed. Nodding her head in hello she sat down, feeling like a complete mouse-brain as she practically waited to be told what to do like a kit or new apprentice.((Eh... xP))

"I 'ave no personal grudge with BlackHeart and his gang. 'Ve only heard of their deeds and met 'em once. Now the part of revenge.....is not my story to tell. It is in a way, but if anyone should be tellin' ya' it's Tornado."
Ben scratched again the fleas seemingly bothering him for sitting still so long.
He seemed to look thoughtful about the question concerning the moors.
"I don't really go near yer clan lands, ya' tend to scare off most everyone with out question. Hmm... I heard they were last seen near the Two leg dwellings, but they certainly could 'ave come this way......they ain't above stealing...or killing, or torture, or blackmail. They get what they want any way their dirty little minds can think of.. if you find 'em I won't mind throwing a bite or two into their filthy fox dung pelts."
Ben flexed his claws once more before scratching again.

The fresh scent of another Thunderclan cat entering their midst caught Cinderpelt's attention and she turned her head to find the form of Stitcheddream sitting among the medicine cats. Padding quietly over to her, the dark-grey she-cat gave a low murr in greeting. "I thought Starclan might summon you as well." She began, flicking an ear back in the direction of Ben and Dawnwhisper, "Have you had another vision?" The thunderclan medicine cat sat on her haunches, her eyes settled on the patch-pelt warrior with interest.

Spottedshadow litsened and watched wide eyes, abnormally quiet dur to everycat talking.
"Wait, family? Was Tornadotail your brother, or did you two grow up together?" Sher mwed inquisitivley, her tail twitching slightly whens he noticed how much Ben was scratching himself. Fleas..."Oh, I'm Spottedshadow by the way, I'm a windclan cat, and medicine cat apprentice. Tornadotail is one of my clanmates now..."

Ben shook his head brining his messed up eye or well sewn up eye into view.
"We ain't related, we grew up together and were fighters of one unit. Ya' know we er...we were a team is the best way to explain it. Ya' would never think one as small as I would match up with 'em, but it worked specially seein' as my bad eye is opposite his. Could you take me to see 'em, Spotted...Shadow?" Ben's eyes seemed to plead for it.

"Just one, you know, with the four ganging up on one and the river..." She looked at the rouge curiously. Seems like Starclan was gathering just about everyone to help with this issue, which meant it was surely larger than life... The rouge couldn't just be here by chance, especially if he knew Tornadotail, possibly the black and white cat in her vision... She realized she was staring at his wounds, and her eyes eventually drifted back to Cinderpelt, wondering if while the time she had been absent they had gotten closer to figuring out what was going on.

Spottedshadow blinked, and smiled slightly. She may get in touble with Autumnbreath, but she'd be able to get Violetstar to understand. Spottedshadow was a medicine cat, or at least an apprentice. it was her duty to help those in need.
"Of course. After our meeting, you can travel back with me, Barkface, and Autumnbreath. But, are you going to ask him to leave his new home?"

Cinderpelt nodded to Stitcheddream and rose to her paws, giving her tail a few short flicks before looking to mothermouth. "We should be on our way for now." She stated, glancing at the other medicine cats, "The moon is getting high and our ancestors won't wait for us forever." She bowed in a deep stretch and gazed at the rogue for a moment before beckoning Stitcheddream with a twitch of her tail, "Come, I believe Starclan wants you to join us this night." With that, she began climbing the slope to the yawning mouth of the mooncave, her ascent slow at first due to a stiff hing leg.
