Whisper watched Speckledfang and blinked. Her apprentice had strived hard, and she was certain it would be time for her ceremony very soon. She has proven herself more powerful than many here. She will be one of my Captains. Whisper thought with a nod. She beckoned to Chaos, who padded languidly up to her leader.
"Yes, leader?" She mewed, flicking her tail and bowing her head respectfully.
"See to it that after Speckledfang's ceremony she is given whatever free warriors she asks for. She is to be a Captain as soon as she is a full warrior. Understood?" Whisper asked monotonously. Chaos dipped her head, her eyes shining.
"A wise choice, leader, indeed. I shall see to it that your request is granted." She meowed softly.

She sighted him and smiled. He returned her friendly grin. They danced with wolf-song and merrily spread themselves. He played the leader and she did too. They were best friends and they knew it. They were almost in love. But that was beside the point. The point was it was always them...
Speckledfang stared out at the sky with two thin, deathly rabbits at her paws. Maybe her Clan would like it. Or maybe she should just eat it now.

OOC: If ya'all don't mind I want to skipeth to the ceremony! *ish excited*
BIC: Whisper stood at the top of the dark stone where she could call the Clan together. She raised her voice triumphantly as she felt pride swell up in her chest.
"May the cats of SilenceClan assemble in the clearing for a Clan meeting!" She yowled, her voice only a little lighter than usually due to the pride and excitement she felt. It was surprising, the depth of her feelings. It's almost as if I'd never subdued them... She thought as she waited. She saw two toms, Scavenger and Howl as she recalled, following their Captain Chaos as she stalked into the clearing. Ever since her brother Renegade had left the Clan quite suddenly she'd been anxiuos and a little strange acting, but Whisper didn't think too much into it. She curled her tail happily and smiled as she gazed down at the crowd gathering.

Break Me
Make Me
Take Me
But You'll Never Be Me Claudius watched anxiously and somewhat nervously as he sat down in a shadowed corner of the camp. Eeva hadn't shown herself in many moons. Had it already been fourteen moons? He remembered innocent Luna with a soft sigh, catching some strange she-cat's eye. Her face was oddly monotone, like her mentor's. What was her name? Spottedfang or Speckledfang or something. As the strange, familiar scent wreathed him he felt the burning stare once again. But why couldn't he see her? She probably was off with that no-good collection of toms. Probably flirting with Oke or Fell or whoever was there. But why did her scent always follow him? Then there was Luna. She had died of innocent blood spilt, and he wondered if the Clan even remembered her. Soft, sweet smile and a gentle nature. Now she lay beneath the sod as worms and maggots ate away the dust tat was once her bones. He hissed in annoyance as the scent of his sister grew so close she was practically next to him. But he looked about and Eeva was nowhere in sight. He hissed again. He was going crazy. |

Chaos sat with her tail curled around his paws, her shoulders hunched. Ever since Renegade vanished, she'd been on edge. He won't join forces with Gaara. He can't. He hates him as much as I do. Chaos tried to reassure herself. It didn't help that she had nightmares every night... She hissed softly as a tom bumped into her.
"Sorry, Captain!" Scavenger chirped, smiling broadly at her. Chaos was sometimes dumbfounded by the attitude of the young cat. He was so cheerful in everything he did. Howl, his partner in crime, was much less charismatic. He sat with his tail curled around his paws, his shoulders hunched. They're both crazy.
I guess it takes one to know one.
"That's fine. I suppose you're both excited?" She purred aluringly, her eyes flashing. Howl said nothing but Scavenger smiled.
"Oh yes! It will be a great day to name a new Captain!" He cried.
"Will you both be open for her patrol? Or will you join mine, hmm?" Chaos purred. Scavenger shrugged.
"We'll go wherever we're needed, if you don't mind." He meowed. Howl remained silent. Always silent. He reminded Chaos of Renegade. He was larger, and had powerful shoulders and paws. He could easily replace my stupid excuse for a brother. Chaos thought.
"And what of you, Howl?" She asked, purring and lashing her tail.
"I will go where I must." Howl meowed simply. Chaos hissed softly in frustration but ignored the feelings in her chest. The loneliness. Why did she feel this way? She had Renegade had always been together. Now they'd been torn apart by his stupidity.

[[Speckledtail!]]
Claudius looked over at Chaos talking to some of the other toms. She certainly didn't seem herself. Of course, without her brother he figured she felt weak and insecure. Without the big tom to do the fighting, all she had was her brains and her guts. The foolish instinct to kill would probably kill her in the end without some form of safety net. But it didn't seem so wrong to be scared. Claudius looked behind every step when hunting, afraid that Eeva might show up. He hadn't really gotten along well with his sister.
Then there was the fact that she wasn't actually Eeva. Every time Claudius had tried to call her that after Luna's death she had yelled at him and tried to attack him. But he couldn't figure out why her name brought her such pain. After all, it was just a name. He sighed and shook his head to clear thoughts about his sister. She wasn't a happy thought. Claudius shuddered as he caught her scent again. He always did. She was always following him, even if she wasn't there. It kept him on his toes, though, and that was okay.
He finally gave in and slunk slowly from the corner of the camp to the safety in the group. Even though he hated being a social butterfly, the scents of his sister vanished and he felt a little more at ease. He tried to avoid looking or touching anyone and just stared at his paws while he pondered the coming ceremony. Like it was of some importance. A young cat getting another stupid name and another stupid group of cats. What next? He half expected them to break out in song or make rose petals fall from the sky or something. He was starting to turn into his sister.

Whisper raised her head and gave a sharp yowl for silence.
"Spottedfang, step forward." She meowed. Memories of her apprentice's first ceremony went through her mind. What did she say...? Something about an ideal name...? The she-cat remembered it relitively well. She hoped that Spottedfang would not be displeased with the name, but then it didn't matter. At least she will keep a little of her true self within her heart... Whisper thought somberly.
"You have worked hard to train yourself as a SilenceClanner. You have trained and fought valiantly, and now I will give you your warrior name. But first, you must vow to keep allegiance only to SilenceClan, and serve with your whole body and mind this Clan and its purpose." She meowed gravely.

"Like I wouldn't. This is my true home, and I pledge alliance to it on my soul be it sent to Nostars Place." She said with a dark nod of truth. Of course, any place would've been better to a cat with a soft heart, but she had left that behind her. Or she had, but it was all coming back rather quickly. She tried to push any thought away and waited for whatever might come next.

Whisper studied Speckledfang's face for a moment. They were so similar. Both had tried to put the past behind them, but both struggled with the cat they had once been.
"Hey, wait up!" The young kit pleaded. Her bright blue eyes shone as she caught up to her brother and sister. The kits purred and rubbed their heads against her.
"You're such a slow poke, sis!" Her brother, Flamekit, exclaimed. She smiled at him.
"Well, I'll get better, right!? One day I'll be an amazing warrior! Maybe I will even be leader one day!" She exclaimed. Her brother snorted.
"That's taking it a bit far! We all know that I'm going to be leader. Flamestar of ThunderClan!" He meowed, puffing out his chest. Willowkit, the sister, smiled softly and laughed.
"Well, I want to be medicine cat. Maybe you can be deputy, Streakkit?" She asked.
"But I want to be leaer." She pouted.
"Maybe one day you will be. Don't forget that one day father will be leader, so he'll make one of us his deputy for sure. That's what he says." Willowkit purred.
"How will he do that?" Streakkit inquired. Flamekit shrugged.
"Does it really matter?"
"I don't know..."
Whisper stared down emotionlessly at her apprentice. She remembered those times, even if she only wanted to forget them. But she remembered.
"Then by the authority given to me by this Clan as your leader, I proclaim you Speckledtail, Captain of SilenceClan!" She yowled, her voice ringing in the clearing as it had seldom done before. Chaos padded languidly over to the newly named warrior and dipped her head, smiling.
"Congradulations. Come and let us fit you out with your squad, Captain." She meowed.

"I'll take all of Sparkheart's team. And... Scavenger, Howl." She said with a brief nod. They were strong enough. She cast a glance at Claudius, who kept looking behind him in a terrified manner. He probably was too crazy for her liking anyway. She shook her head and turned back to Chaos.
"Fellow Captain." She said emotionlessly.
Speckledfang smiled as she chased after the most handsome tom she had ever seen. He was fun, creative, and didn't mind leaving his home to see her. He made her feel equal. She bolted after him and laughed as he whooped with joy. Great practice in pursuit and fun for all. He was the tom she wouldn't mind spending the rest of her life with. But he wasn't from SilenceClan. He wasn't even evil. He was TrueClan blood. His named was Twitchpaw.

Chaos nodded sligthly. She turned and beckoned to the two toms. Howl padded calmly up, his head bowed slightly, while Scavenger strutted along beside him.
[b}"Captain?"[/b] He inquired of Chaos, arching the whiskers above his eye and smiling a dashing smile. Chaos smiled back at him.
"Captain Speckledtail wishes both of you to join her squad." She suddenly caught a familiar scent and froze. She turned slightly and watched Renegade stalk into camp, his amber eyes burning as he looked at her and then away. Why did he come back...? She thought, feeling a cold clasp of fear fix itself on her heart. She turned to the toms just in time to see them nod.
"Yes, Chaos." They said, turning to Speckledtail. Scavenger smiled and bowed with a flurish.
"It will be an honor to serve you." He purred. Howl just nodded. Only nodded.

Speckeldtail nodded emotionlessly at Howl, and then a little more cheerful at Scavenger. She noticed Renegade and wondered if he wanted to stay with Chaos. If not, she would gratefully take him. But it was up to him. She didn't really care.
"So, can I just completely replace Sparkheart or what?" She asked.

Chaos snorted.
"Hardly. There are four Captain positions, with only three taken. She didn't have many cats on her squad anyone, besides Scavenger." She meowed. Scavenger smiled and flicked his ear in a friendly way.
"Please, call me Scab. All my friends do." He purred. Howl eyed him but said nothing.

Speckledtail rolled her eyes.
"Yet she does nothing useful now." She hissed unhappily. "And Scavenger will be on my squad now, so she'll have to settle for the low-life types." She said with a scowl, turning and padding away in a strange, monotonous dislike. Claudius shook his head at the drama queen but said nothing.

Scab shook his head.
"Can't say Sparkheart was useless. Whisper just hasn't decided to move yet. She's being tactful or something." He meowed. Howl nodded slowly.
"I suppose." He murmured emotionlessly.

The three siblings at the edge of the clearing weren't asked to join any team, and they were find with that. Might not waste breath asking to be ordered around by a captain, or just a plain warrior. They would of liked to start their own division, but they hung back quietly and watched with bored eyes.
"You'll be first to be picked, Oneida. Your the biggest female in SilenceClan. Your smart, too." Dirigo ensured her sister quietly, with unblinking eyes. The smallest sibling out of their small family might of been considered the most tactful, and the most vicious. She lashed out sometimes, and was known to be 'small but sharp, and cruel'. Oneida thought things over more; she really didn't use her natural strength. Dirigo would kill to get Oneida's build, she didn't understand why her sister didn't use her muscle. Excelsior was the second biggest, but he had the lithe build of Dirigo, and was pretty fast for his fair size.

Speckledtail saw Oneida as she stormed out.
"You, my group." She said unhappily, and continued to storm away. That brought her to three. For now.

Oneida's lip curled. "You wish! Fleabag!" She muttered, but only her siblings heard her quiet voice.
"Tough break," Dirigo said, eyes blazing into Speckledtail.

[[None. Dirigo is just saying that, and of course, Oneida is angry at Speckledtail on Dirigo and Blazepath's behalf. But she's definitely on Speckled's team!
