This is a story that is based centuries after Erin Hunter's books. It is based on the life of Bramblekit as she rises to become leader of her clan and all the trouble she faces inbetween the start of her life to when she gets her nine lives.

Disclaimer: I own the characters and the story but I do not own what it was based off. It was based off the Warriors books that belongs to Erin Hunter.

In the light of the full moon cats of every type and breed moved silently towards the sacred shining pools. Their Coats shone silver in the light and their eyes reflected the moon. On top of a large and tall rock stood four cats. They gazed down at the pool below the rock as the other cats settled themselves around the pool and looked up at the four cats.

One of the cats lifted its head and removed its gaze from the pool. Slowly it spoke to the silent crowd.

"Welcome All" He began, His voice calm and loud. "As you all know we have already made clans and organised territories. You all had quite a few moons to get used to these areas. Now it is time we made names for our surroundings and each member in the four clans." He paused and turned his head towards the other cats with him upon the rock. A pale cream She-Cat walked up beside him and spoke, her pale amber eyes surveying the crowd.

"I have a name to suggest, Snowstar," She said, looking at the white tom beside her. Snowstar dipped his head.

"Speak Desertstar of DesertClan"

Desertstar raised her voice again.

"I suggest that we name this place after the distinctive features it has and the way it shows them. This place should be known as FourPools in acknowledgement of the four shining pools below the four pines." She declared, flicking her tail towards each of the four pools. The pools she spoke of were below four great pines. Each pine had a symbol carved into its bark, showing that it marked a clan's territory. The symbols reflected into the pools below. These pools reflected Silverpelt, the moon and the symbols, making them a part of StarClan.

Murmurs of wonder interrupted the silence that had followed Desertstar's words. One wail rose above the rest.

"But there is five pools here. Surely you can count Desertstar?" It yowled.

Snowstar noticed Desertstar's coat bristling angrily but before he could speak a brown tom stepped up beside Desertstar.

"Who said this?" He called out, his voice stern but not angry. Slowly a small warrior stepped forward.

"You what clan are you from?" The tom urged. "M-MoorClan, Moorstar" The warrior muttered upsetly. The tom's pelt bristled slightly. "Alright. I will talk to you when we get back to camp." He replied then turned to Desertstar.

"He has a small point though Desertstar. Why didn't you include the middle pool?" His tone was gentle towards her, as he knew she was still angry at what had been called out to her. He flicked his ear, hoping she wouldn't take it badly.

"There are four clans agreed?" Desertstar explained slowly. "Well there are five pools. If the four on the outside represent each of these four clans then doesn't that mean that the middle represents StarClan?"

She looked at the other clan leaders. Snowstar and Moorstar nodded their heads. Desertstar turned her gaze to behind her where the last leader was.

"And what about you, Earthstar of EarthClan. Do you not agree?" The greenish coloured cat nodded its head.

"Yes Desertstar I do." Desertstar nodded and sat down. Snowstar looked around all the cats.

"Is it agreed?" He called. Small meows of uncertain agreement was heard. Desertstar narrowed her eyes angrily. Moorstar nudged her shoulder softly and she looked at him.

"Don't worry about what they think Desertstar, it's a good idea." He whispered to the she-cat. Desertstar nodded her light coloured head.

"I know Moorstar of MoorClan. Thank you." She glanced down at the pool that reflected the moon and Silverpelt the brightest.

"I believed that my explanation would be enough." She muttered. Snowstar's voice cut into her thoughts.

"And it will be. They just need a bit of encouragement from their leaders." He purred softly then turned to the other leaders. "Earthstar of EarthClan and Moorstar of MoorClan, Do you agree to the name Desertstar of DesertClan has suggested?" He meowed loudly. Both leaders nodded their heads.

"Yes we do Snowstar of SnowClan." Snowstar nodded his head and turned back to the cats below them.

"Is it agreed?" He repeated. This time strong mews of agreement broke the silence. Snowstar flicked his tail, satisfied and turned to Desertstar. She nodded, a look of satisfaction on her face. He then looked at the other cats below them.

" Then it is decided. From now on till the four clans should perish this place will be known as Four Pools"
