A/N: New Warriors fic! This takes place after Bramblestar's Storm.
Prologue
A golden tabby she-cat sat perched on a rock, her eyes screwed tight in concentration as she gazed down into the stream. Swift as lightning, she struck a paw into the water.
"Leopardstar!" A brown tom bounded through the trees towards her.
Startled, she slipped and fell in the stream. Her head bobbed to the surface several tail-lengths down, hissing in annoyance. "What is it now, Mudfur?"
He let out a purr of amusement. "Sorry about that. Firestar, Blackstar, and Tallstar are waiting for you at the waterfall."
Her tail twitched irritably. "Of course they are," she growled. Her eyes grew shadowed. "Is this about-?"
Mudfur nodded gravely. He twitched his whiskers. "You better get off to that meeting. The fate of the Clans rests in it." Leopardstar lashed her tail and stalked upstream along the river until she heard a dull roar. Water tumbled down a precipice into the riverbed below. Sitting along the bank she recognized a familiar white coat. The large cat stood and touched noses with her. "Leopardstar," he mewed.
"Blackstar," she returned. "Nice to see you again." And it was. It had been seasons since she'd last seen her ShadowClan friend.
"It'd be nicer to see you under different circumstances," he mewed gruffly. "I'd like to be down there with my Clan."
"Rowanstar's a good leader," she meowed soothingly.
Blackstar paused. "I suppose he is," he agreed. "Although the apprentices cause him trouble." He shook his head. "Where are Firestar and Tallstar?"
"Hard to tell," Leopardstar muttered.
"Do you know what this is about?" he mewed.
"Things near your territory."
The fur on his spine lifted. "Is that a threat?"
"No. It's a threat to all of us. We'll explain when everyone else is here."
"What have you seen?" Blackstar presses.
"A danger," she mewed quietly, casting furtive looks around to make sure no cat was listening. "Lurking near ThunderClan and ShadowClan territory. And something inside RiverClan that could…" She trailed off, shaking her head.
"That could what?"
"That's more of a suspicion that only concerns my Clan," she meowed, shaking her pelt.
Blackstar narrowed his eyes, but before he could ask a question Tallstar and Firestar emerged through the undergrowth. "Sorry we're late!" Firestar called as he approached. "Cinderheart just kitted." His eyes were glowing with pride.
"Congratulations," Leopardstar mewed, and Blackstar stiffly repeated her.
Tallstar glanced around, flicking his tail. "I don't understand why any cat would call a meeting here." He looked uncomfortable being so close to the waterfall.
"We don't want any cat to overhear us," Firestar meowed smoothly. "I assume we all know what this meeting is for?"
"I don't," Blackstar mewed sharply.
Leopardstar rolled her eyes. "I just told you. Something near your territory that threatens all of us."
"Do we know what it is?" Blackstar asked coolly.
"No," Firestar mewed. "Which is why I think it would be wise for all of us to meet and discuss."
"If it's near my territory, it only concerns my Clan," Blackstar snapped. Leopardstar could tell he was close to unsheathing his claws. Quickly, she cut in, "It concerns all of us, Blackstar! It's something that could come to our very camps!"
"We need to get our Clans to work together against this," Tallstar agreed.
Blackstar exhaled loudly. "Fine. ShadowClan will help."
"I will send a sign to my cats," Leopardstar mewed. She could almost feel a cold wind cutting through her pelt, but maybe she was imagining it. Silently, she added, And find out what else is lurking in my Clan.
