Hello! Welcome to Darkened Hearts! If you think this is just a normal forest with normal Clans...you are wrong. There are four Clans; OakClan, RainClan, DreamClan, and BrokenClan. OakClan is the Clan that lives among the oak trees. RainClan live in a place where many streams connect to one main river. DreamClan is a Clan that live in the moor land. And then there is BrokenClan. The cats of BrokenClan live in a dark forest with a waste-land like marsh-land near the back of their territory; where they sometimes banish cats off to. So will you fall into the gentle, caring paws of OakClan? Or will you tumble into the cold, uncaring claws of BrokenClan? You decide your fate!

Plot
"All that we know will rot. Every friendly face will turn into the most ugly monstrosity you will ever get to know."
- - - - - -
This is what StarClan ancestors have told our Medicine Cats at the last meeting. It was the most frightening message yet. After BrokenClan cats have launched an attack at at gathering--the three other Clans have finally expelled all BrokenClan cats from coming to this sacred meeting. So officially only three different Clans will be found at this gathering from now on. As battles go on between the Clans over the littlest things erupt, the Clans will begin to drift apart. Making their borders farther apart every now and again. Leaving more free room for outsiders to come in. Some cats are even beginning to shun StarClan out of their lives because of this problem. Will these Clans come to their senses and pull themselves back together? Or will these cats forever be isolated by themselves?

Witheringpaw Crash into the party with a dress that screams 'trash'.
Pelt lightly brushing against the roots of undergrowth, Witheringpaw's body continued to walk ever so silently. While searching for prey. This cat had wandered away from the patrol. And ended up near by the Fourtrees. Her eyes continued to watch. Alert. Ready for prey to come scurrying out of the undergrowth. It was growing warmer outside every day almost. The snow beginning to melt and leave the ground quite moist. Even to the point where little puddles are left around! "Where are you..." she breathed lightly, looking back and forth. Not paying attention to her surroundings. Not entirely noting that she was on land that belonged to none of the Clans. Her brown pelt wasn't so ideal for hunting out in the snow--since she stuck out quite obviously.
But this cat was an oblivious one indeed. She was the type to stay to herself while harvesting prey for her Clan. After the fox attack she still was stiff and sore. Slightly slower than what she considered normal.
Something struck her in the mind just for a split second, looking back over her shoulder. "Heatherpaw?" she mewed before giving her pelt a light shake. Where is he? she thought. Becoming slightly confused of her surroundings. "Where am I?" she breathed. Turning, she had finally noticed the four tall oaks that over-shadow the large stone in the center at where the Clans were supposed to meet. Hairs on the back of her neck prickled. "The Fourtrees?" she meowed to herself. How'd I get here?
OoC// This thread is for Moof and Kobi by the way. xD

Acidpaw padded through BrokenClan territory in search for prey. It seemed that these days, there was no prey at all. That was why Vilestar let them go hunt in the Dump. The Dump wasn't so bad. It was actually a pretty good source for food. Of course, he probably just thought that because he worshiped Vilestar. With a flick of his tail, Acidpaw pondered about going there. His stomach was so empty as it was, but it was going to get dark eventually, and Acidpaw didn't want to be caught in the dark in that place with all of those beady eyes watching your every movement. "Rats." The apprentice hissed. A cold breeze blew by, ruffling his black fur the wrong way. The apprentice stiffened, waiting for it to pass. As the wind died down, Acidpaw glanced around. He was near the edge of BrokenClan territory, where it connected to Fourtrees. Maybe he could find a decent catch in Fourtrees! The idea had never occured to him before, and he happily twitched his ears. Shrugging, the tom made his way down the slight slope and stopped on the ridge that stood above the clearing. He saw the four towering trees standing tall, their branches beginning to sway violently in another gust of wind. This time, the air brought a scent along with it. It was the scent of RainClan. Was there a RainClan cat nearby? "Great. Just what I need. Something to spoil my meal." He muttered crossly, then swiveled his head to the right, in search of the cat. When he spotted no one, Acidpaw decided to try and find them. Slowly, the cat began padding to the right, fighting against the icy wind. The scent became stronger, so the cat called out. "Hello? I know you're there, so show yourself!" He puffed out his fur and bared his teeth, waiting for some cat to jump out an challange him.

"Huh?" Witheringpaw's head snaped up. That didn't sound like Heatherpaw... Standing and hesitating for a moment. I'm not on another Clan's land...so why am I being challenged... she thought, one ear going back momentarily before flicking forward again. "Wh-who is out there?" she meowed out, stuttering. "Is that you Heatherpaw?" Is he trying to play a trick on me? If so it's not funny! she thought. Hesitantly padding out, when seeing the form of the BrokenClan apprentice, she froze on the spot. Definitely not Heatherpaw here. The hairs on her neck began to rise defensively. "Who are you?" she meowed, nearly breathing it out. "I'm not intruding on your Clan's land...so...so you can't say I'm doing anything on your land." she pointed out in her own instinct. Not wanting to be accused of a thief. He looked half way like a potential threat. The other half...well, I don't know. He looks underfed... the brown-colored cat noted. Then the stench of BrokenClan was radiating off of him in waves. It wasn't what she would call ideal. Meeting a BrokenClan cat while she was hunting...this could cause trouble if he attacks...

Acidpaw crept closer and snuck around the undergrowth. He heard some murmruing, but couldn't make out the words against the harsh wind. A few heartbeats went by, then a cat appeared out of nowhere. The cat didn't look very large, so Acidpaw guessed that it was an apprentice. He remembered seeing her at a Gathering or two, but couldn't remember her name. It was something like.. Weatherpaw? Or Winterpaw? Whatever. It started with a 'W'. He thought with a shrug. The fur on his neck immediately began to flatten against his pelt. This cat was no threat to him. He guessed that if they were to get into a brawl, that he might be able to defeat her. But who knows. "Who are you?" He heard the she-cat ask. He decided that it wouldn't really matter if he told her his name, but he was rather curious about hers. "My name's Acidpaw." He spat defensively. He kneaded the ground with his claws and raked his gaze across the cat's fur. As he was about to ask her name, she added something to her question. She seemed to be stuttering a bit. Maybe nervous. Acidpaw stepped closer, a few mouse-lengths away from her. He slowly began to circle the cat, looking her up and down. "I never accused you of entering BrokenClan territory, now did I?" He challenged, watching her closely. "But you seem... nervous. Guilty of something perhaps? Quite skittish." He evaluated, then noticed her watching him as well. He tried puffing out his fur again, to maybe appear less scrawny than he really was. But it was just the fact that he didn't eat much. His muscles were still there, though they weren't at their full strength. They could still do the job though. Acidpaw flicked his tail and padded closer to the cat, his nose only a mouse-length away from hers. "Is there something that you'd like to say, Wi.. Witheringpaw?" He challenged, suddenly remembering her name.

Witheringpaw flinched back slightly when Acidpaw had began to circle her. Feeling tense. Edgy almost. "How do you know my name?" she meowed, defending herself by asking another question. "I haven't seen you but once...Acidpaw?" she meowed, trying to at least keep her voice quiet and curt. I'm not sounding...nervous? A-am I? she inquired to herself, noting the hairs on his neck were flat. He didn't quite look so hostile. "You look quite skinny," she pointed out blandly. "Is your leader not feeding you at all? Or are a-all of you BrokenClan cats too busy to look for food?"
OoC// UGH. DX No. Muse. ;-; I can't come up with anything.

He felt Witheringpaw tense up all of the sudden. He stepped back and studied her again. She was quite good looking, actually. Not bad at all. But there was something about her that made Acidpaw feel curious. What was it? Shaking his head, he snapped out of his thoughts. "How do I know your name?" He mocked her, snorting. "We've been to gatherings, hm? I know many cats names that aren't in my Clan. I guess I'm just more social that you are." Acidpaw flicked his tail defiantly. "And well, I am skinny, Ms. Obvious. Good observation." He mewed, with a bit of amusement. The comment about Vilestar made him a bit angry, though. "And yes, Vilestar is doing his best to feed us! Our land isn't the richest with prey, but we manage. And no. We aren't too busy. Some of us actually care about taking care of ourselves. But others.. well, that's a different story..." The apprentice trailed off, wondering why he was telling this to a RainClan cat that he barely even knew. "Why are you so curious, Witheringpaw?" His eyes narrowed. A loud grumble escaped from his stomach.
