Great Sycamore

"I can understand how difficult it must have been." Firespell smiled at the husky. She must have had a lot of hardships in her life. No family too, not even friends. "So your father was involved in the Clans." Firespell's amber eyes glowed. "And so are you coming back to the forest to try to join a Clan?" The firey female's eyes were kind as she asked Adder that question.

She nods. "Yes. But I didn't think you would accept me because I'm a dog and I'm different." She smiled shyly. "Well, my father wasn't in a clan. More like, a helper. He checked in, but he never told me about the adventures. Only the four clans and the ranks."

The firey wolf looked at Feathersoul and then back at the husky. Accept a dog? I'll have to think about it, and I don't know what the other members of ThunderClan would to say to that. She made her mind up. "Adder, I'll think about it, I promise. Now however, I've got to go to the Moonstone with Feathersoul and my sister Mosseypaw." Firespell looked back through the trees and wondered where Mosseypaw was. "Feathersoul, have you chosen a suitable burial place for Phoenixstar?" she asked, turning around.

She'll think about it? I knew it! No-one likes a stupid dog! She thinks, taking it the wrong way. Her ears flatten. "I'll be here when you do."

"Wo who are yo,"I snarl at the house dog. I then jump on it and hold it to the ground "Who are you answer me!" I demand

(You would say that you lunged to pin me down, so I can dodge the attack)

Adder pushed the dog off her. "What do you think you're doing?" She swatted Mosseypaw. "I was talking to Firespell for-your-information!"

"I don't care go home to your twolegs,"I say as I lung at it again. I get in front of my sister to protect her. "I have already lost two leaders I don't plan on losing an other one."

Feathersoul answered, "Yes. I found a place that's quite suiting." She turned her head, noticing Adder with flattened ears and and a hurt look upon her maw. I wonder what's wrong, she wondered. Using her skills as a Medicine Wolf, she deducted that the way she wasn't looking at the ThunderClan wolves and the way she was acting signaled that she didn't feel welcome, or wanted. All of a sudden, she saw Mosseypaw lunge at the dog. "Mosseypaw, stop it!" the Medicine Wolf barked, shifting close to Adder. "Its okay. She's a friend," the black fae said, trying to calm down the apprentice.

"I'm not a house pet!" She yowled. "If you lived my life you would understand! But I wish I would sit and DIE in a hole! No-one likes me and no-one will! I was talking about joining Thunderclan by the way!" She huffed and ran. "My mother, father and siblings hated me! What did I do wrong for all of this to happen?" She asked herself. She totally ignored Feathersoul.

"Oh no," Feathersoul whispered, watching as Adder dashed off. "Adder, wait!" she called, racing after her. Her lack of strength and size made up for her increased speed, and she soon caught up to the husky. "Adder! We didn't mean it that way! Mosseypaw just wasn't thinking was all!"

"Be quiet, all of you!" Firespell barked. "Arguing and shouting aren't going to get us anywhere. Yes, Adder did ask me whether she could join ThunderClan and I said that I would think about it really carefully." She ran after Adder and soon caught up with her. "Adder, it's all right. There's always going to be somebody in this world who wants you."

She stops In front of a tree. She stops and leans her head on it grumpily. She felt a tear rundown her cheek. "She WAS thinking! That stupid mutt! She's right, maybe right now I should just die in a hole!" She makes sure Feathersoul cannot see her crying. Although, she could probably tell by her voice. "My mother, father. and siblings hated me! And everyone else does too!"

"That's not true. I like you, Adder, I don't hate you." Firespell sighed. Mosseypaw is a bit rash sometimes. She shot a glance at Feathersoul which said: she's very upset.

Feathersoul listened as Adder sobbed leaning against an Ash. Even though she was trying to hide the tears she was shedding, her wavering voice gave her away. She sighed. Mosseypaw... "Look, Adder. Yes, there are wolves and dogs who don't like you. Yes, some hate you. Yes, some don't care if you live or die. But there are always those who care and love you, all you have to do is find them."

Adder sighed. She knew they were just trying to make her feel better. "Well, go ahead bury the wolf you were talking about before you noticed me. I'll help if you want. If you don't want any help, I'll be right here and won't move a budge."

We can't let Adder inside the camp, Icepaw and Hawkpool would probably chase her out. She's very interesting for a husky, thought Firespell as she looked at the dog in question. We should really bury Phoenixstar first. Her amber eyes met Adder's ice blue ones. "Could you wait here, Adder please until I come back?" the firey wolf asked. Firespell gave a tiny flick of her head to Feathersoul and Mosseypaw signalling them to stay there and wait for her as she padded swiftly back to camp.

-tc camp-

(Too lazy to switch)

"Alright!" The Husky's icy blue eyes sparkled. She knew that she would most likely be alone while they were gone. She flicked her tail, and she layed and began rolling around in the white snow.

Feathersoul nodded in recognition as Firespell padded away towards the camp. The black fae turned her head, seeing Adder rolling around in the snow. Her fluffy tail wagged in delight. Giving a yip of pleasure to see the female so perky, she scooped up a pawfull of snow and flicked it at the husky playfully.

The firey wolf padded back slowly into the clearing with the great sycamore. "Feathersoul, I've got Phoenix here. Let's bury him now." She eased the once leader off her back and onto the ground. Firespell looked at Adder playing and smiled. It's nice to see her happy.

Adder flicked snow back at Feathersould. She watched as Firespell padded in. "Can I help you bury---" She paused, she did not know the gender. "Him?" She smiled and wagged.

Bramblepaw ran up the slope, his eyes full of tears as Firespell dropped his former mentor on the ground. The mottled brute looked up to the female and spoke quietly. "Can I mourn for a bit? He was my mentor." The young pup was in utter pain. He had never wanted to become a warrior, but a medicine wolf. But that didn't mean he hadn't grown a relationship with the former Clan Leader.

"Of course, you can, Bramblepaw", Firespell said quietly. She felt a tear slide down her cheek. "I cared for him too." Turning to Adder, she said, "If you want to, Adder then you can." The firey female smiled at Bramblepaw. "I'll see about another mentor for you when I get my nine lives from StarClan. Oh, this is Adder. She wants to join ThunderClan because she has no family or home. Don't worry, she's friendly."

Adder's head tiled, but she smiled. "Hello!" She said and wagged. She wasn't used to meeting new friends. She walked a little closer.

Adder tilted her head once more. This time, without a smile. She layed down beside Bramblepaw and Phoenixstar's dead body. "I'm sure he is safe in-" She paused, "StarClan?" She looked a questionable glance at the dead body. I hope it is StarClan...
