Shadowpaw looked up to see the other three rouges standing before her with Eaglepaw hurt but not too badly. She looked like she was knocked out. Mud dropped her on the ground but stayed close to her side while the other time was on the other.

"We have the other one. Think we should keep them as prisoners?" The other dark brown tom by Shadowpaw's side asked in his low voice. The black tom that seemed to be a kind of a leader of the group looked at the dark furred apprentice then to the other one that was knocked out.

"Hm, we could keep both of them, or we could send the one home with her scratches and warn them to never get close again." Night said with his one blue eye and his one green eye thoughtfully thinking of the situation.

Shadowpaw stayed on the ground not bothering to get up. She wanted to make sure her sister was okay but knew better than to put a paw out of place at the moment or it could cost her her own life. She wanted to speak. She wanted to say keep her and send Eaglepaw home.

"This one did say that we should keep her. She has a strong connection with that one. She could prove worthy. She's quick. Almost as quick as me too. It would be worth it to keep her around in my opinion." Mud spoke up trying to make his weak voice strong but it didn't help too much. Shadowpaw looked up thankful for him.

"That one is a strong fighter too. I think she would be more use, but since you are my oldest son, I will let you have the decision." Night said looking at Mud carefully. He paid no attention to the other tom that was next to Shadowpaw. She guessed he did something wrong in his favor.

"I think we should keep her. With a little training, she could be better." Mud said looking between the two female apprentices slowly.

"Then keep her close. Brown, you too. Make sure your brother doesn't mess this up." Night said in a slight growl making both of the toms jump along with Shadowpaw. She slowly got up looking at the male. "What is your name young shecat? I believe your sister said it, but I don't remember." He said with a slight edge in his voice that would make anyone scared out of their pelts.

"S-Shadowpaw." She whimpered keeping her gaze on the ground beneath her not wanting to see the claws if they came for her.

"Well Shadowpaw, we need to change your name. Second of all, welcome to our little pack. You are no longer a clan cat. I am Night. You have met Mud and Brown. The white and brown shecat is Muddle and the small light grey shecat is Pebble." Night said before looking to Mud and Brown. He nodded once and they both came to her side pushing against her so she couldn't run.

Shadowpaw barely moved as she was pulled along with the two taller males. Her feet barely brushed against the ground as she was taken to a small dug out with some moss.

"You will sleep here. I'll keep watch first." Mud said but then continued when Brown shot him a look. "Don't worry Brown, I won't let her go this time." He said sternly as he left the side of the female. Shadowpaw stumbled slightly but stayed on her feet. She looked up barely to see the two glaring at each other.

"Go on in there. It's your new den." Brown huffed and shoved her to the dug out. Shadowpaw fell on her side with a huff. Her eyes went over to Mud carefully as the other brown tom walked away rather quickly.
