A D[o]g with a Deathwish...

"You're crazy!" her mother cried.

"I'm not..." Hibiscus responded simply. "I'm going to join the clans."

"You can't! You'll die! Clan cats are savages, and would sooner be brutally slaughtered than let anything hurt their Clan! They won't trust you! They'll kill you! You hear me? Kill you!"

Hibiscus had only rolled her eyes. "Mama, they're cats, I'm a dog! They probably would fear me! And if they did attack, I could take them. Not that I'd be all too happy about it."

Her mother shook her head. "No, Iss, you don't understand! They have numbers far greater than you could imagine! They're one of the biggest Clans out there!"

The golden retriever/husky let out a very low growl at the puphood nickname her mother had just used. "Please, Mama, it's Hibiscus. I'm not two months anymore, I'm nine months! Almost an adult!"

"Almost! And until you are, I refuse to let you leave!"

"Oh really?"

Her mother hesitated, her blue husky eyes wavering, and then focused firmly on her daughter. "REALLY!"

Hibiscus only let out a laugh, and then charged past her mother, racing through the field of their Twoleg farm, and towards the wooden fence, not caring how badly she had probably just hurt her mother.

"Hibiscus! Come back!" her mother howled, tearing after her, but the mutt was already at the fence and had cleared it, running free on the other side, not daring to look back.

As the flashback ended, Hibiscus found herself sitting on the border of the ThunderClan territory. She was here now. No turning back. It was do or die. She wouldn't run, no matter what they did. She knew that this encounter could take many different turns, good or bad. And she will willing to face the consequences. All her life she wanted to be different in a good way, and make her life mean something, and maybe now she could something to the cats. She would serve as a guard, and protect them with her life. Plus, a dog would be intimdating in a battle, would it not?

Alright, enough zoning out. Taking a deep breath, she let out a great bark. Just a single bark was all she felt was needed. And she waited.

Hibiscus was somewhat startled by the voice. So sudden had there been a response. She looked in the direction of the voice and found a cat, a tom. He seemed friendly enough and reguarded her with a smile. Hibiscus cocked her head ever so slightly and nodded, rising to her paws and dipping her head respectfully in greeting. "Greetings," she said. "My name is Hibiscus." She paused and studied him with her different colored eyes. "And it is my wish to join ThunderClan." She hadn't really expected this to be going so smoothly already. She had expected an attack, but after brief explaining maybe an acceptance. This was it, though? No hostility?

No, she shouldn't assume this already. There could others.

And then came a flash, and a small form crashed into her. She gave a low yelp from startlement and stumbled slightly in shock and looked down a hostile looking apprentice. She gave a snarl, not hoping to fight unless more came.

Hibiscus rolled her narrowed eyes and winced slightly as the tiny, pinprick claws pierced her hide. "No," she said sarcastically. "How else would you be able to understand me?" she asked, easily flicking the cat free with a woosh of her tail.

{ Haha, not being rude to you, it's just Hib's personality. She tends to be a bit sarcastic. No hard feelings. }

Hibiscus returned her attention to the other warrior, not reguarding 'Redpaw' with so much as a glance. "Then who?" she asked, her voice monotonous, hiding all emotion. Her tail swished behind her, but not in such a way that would suggest anxiousness, happiness, or irritation at all.

Another dog padded up to the scene and her heart lifted at the fact that there were other dogs in ThunderClan. However, she did not show this. Instead, she only nodded. "Yes, that is my wish," she said, bowing her head. "My name is Hibiscus. Pleasure to meet you all," she stated.

{ OOC ;; Should we make a new thread, I'm assuming, and get Scorchstar, or will Scorchstar come here? I'm assuming the first. }

Hibiscus took a deep breath and looked at the other two Thunderclanners. Swallowing hard, she looked to the Akita looking dog and followed him. Scorchstar? She was assuming that was ThunderClan's leader, for, at least according to her limited Clan knowledge, common Clan leaders' names ended in the suffix '-star'. She nodded as she trailed after him. "If you don't mind me asking, what is your name?" she asked carefully.

The mutt grinned at the albino cat as she passed, but the grin quickly faded and returned to a dead pokerface. At least the Clan wasn't all out attacking her...
