PROLOGUE
A light mist surrounded a young tortoiseshell she-cat, who was waiting for her companions to arrive for the meeting she called them for, as she gazed at the pool of pure and sparkling water in front of her. Oh where are they! she thought as the tip of her tail twitched impatiently I've been waiting for hours! Then, as if her thoughts somehow signaled them to appear, she heard a loud rustling noise from the tall grass behind her.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Spottedleaf" a reddish brown tom said, "but Bluestar just had to be Ms. Peacemaker and resolve an argument between two apprentices."
"Yeah, an argument you started, Oakheart!" Bluestar hissed at her RiverClan mate.
"Details, details!" Oakheart said as he lazily waved a paw in the air.
"Anyways" Bluestar said with a sigh, "what exactly is this meeting about, Spottedleaf?"
"Well, Bluestar, I actually wanted to wait until everyone else got here to-"
"Well, then you don't have to wait any longer" a huge golden brown tabby tom meowed cheerily, as he came out of a bush with an equally large white tom, and five cats following behind them.
"Yes, we are immensely sorry for our tardiness, Spottedleaf." the white tom apologized.
"That's alright, Whitestorm" Spottedleaf mewed "I'm just glad everyone made it."
"Right, now that we're all present and accounted for" Crookedstar said as he plopped himself down, right next to Bluestar "let's get to business shall we?"
"Yeah, why exactly are we here, Spottedleaf?" the huge golden brown tabby tom inquired.
"Well, Lionheart, I think I found someone who could help our destined trio with their difficult mission." Spottedleaf stated confidently, "Look." Spottedleaf then dipped her paw into the pure water, and in that instant an image started to form in front of them. The image took form of a young light ginger she-kit, with a pretty pink collar around her neck, resting peacefully on a huge, round, and purple cushion.
"A kittypet!" all the congregated cats exclaimed.
Spottedleaf immediately felt their uneasiness and tried to persuade them, "Now wait just a minute, I-"
"I'm sorry Spottedleaf," an elderly dark gray she-cat meowed "but times are tough now, and that little furball looks like she can't even help herself out of a paper bag, let alone help three cats that hold the fate of the clans in their paws." A murmur of agreement followed her statement.
"But, Yellowfang-"
"Now hold on ladies and gents" Oakheart meowed as he stood up, "let's hear her out."
Spottedleaf flashed Oakheart a grateful look as he sat back down, "Like I was saying," Spottedleaf continued, "she is not exactly a full-blooded kittypet. She is really the granddaughter to a clan leader."
The crowd gasped. "Now, how exactly do you know that, Spottedleaf?" Tallstar interjected.
Spottedleaf sighed "Well, I was watching her one day, when her mother showed her a picture of her grandparents and as soon as I saw the picture I recognized one of the cats."
Raggedstar chuckled "So, Who's the bloke?"
"Well," Spottedleaf meowed "I really don't want to say names, and besides we're here to discuss her, not her kin."
"Then I guess that settles that," Bluestar said, as she stood up and padded next to Spottedleaf. " Alright then, everyone," Bluestar spoke her voice full of authority, and her tone commanded everyone to give her their attention, "I think we should at least give the cat a chance….anyone object?" The crowd was silent. "Excellent. Anything to add, Spottedleaf?"
"No, Bluestar." Spottedleaf replied.
"Well.." Bluestar prompted.
"Right, meeting adjourned everyone!" Spottedleaf declared, "Thanks for coming, and please keep what you heard here to yourselves!"
The cats then got up from their spots around the pool and padded off in the directions they came from, murmuring amongst themselves about who the mysterious leader was that grandfathered the kit. As Oakheart was about to enter the tall grass, he noticed that his mate wasn't near him. "Hey Bluestar, you comin'!" he asked
"Yeah, I'll be right there Oakheart, go on without me." she mewed back.
"Alright" he said, as he entered the tall grass and disappeared from sight.
"Tell me the truth, Spottedleaf," Bluestar said turning back to Spottedleaf, her countenance and tone serious, "Why did you choose that kit?"
"Well, Bluestar, I was actually trying to look at the old forest, and what became of it." Spottedleaf explained.
"And…" Bluestar prompted.
"Well, it turned into a cluster of Twoleg nests, and that's where I saw her and-"
"Let me guess, you got curious because she resembled Firestar?" Bluestar said while raising one of her eyebrows.
Spottedleaf blushed.
"Well, Spottedleaf," Bluestar sighed, "I hope you didn't make a mistake….for your sake and the clans'. " With that, Bluestar left the clearing leaving Spottedleaf alone by the pool. Me too, Bluestar….Me too.
