The clamor inside the cave was deafening. Cats from different Clans yowled at each other, cats from the same Clan ready to claw each others eyes. The bright full moon shone despite the tesion that seemed to choke the air. A screech silenced the cats but it was not the cry of a cat, it was the sound of claw on rock. The cats stopped to see the first five leaders standing above them, their tails lashing. A ginger tom stepped forward, he had been the cat to lead the cats from their tribes into the forest on the other side of the Pink-Skin place, all the while carrying his younger sister in his jaws.
"Silence!" he yowled as he observed his decendents.
The original five deputies stepped forward from among the other StarClan cats. A spotted gray she-cat stepped to the ginger tom and bowed her head.
"Foxstar, I am sorry but we lost control of the meeting." She flattened her ears to her head as she waited for Foxstar to speak.
"Rainflower, raise yourself. We leaders did not tell you to kit-sit these warriors," He paused and let his smoldering gaze sweep over the warriors. Apprentices and kits had been excluded from the meeting.
The former RainClan deputy stood and the BreezeClan deputy rested her tail on Rainflower's shoulders.
"There were five of us and too many of them." The silvery black she-cat murmered.
"Breezewing is right." The former BreezeClan leader meowed from his place beside Foxstar.
"Thank you Foxstar, Vulturestar." Rainflower dipped her head.
"What's this meeting about?" The LeafClan leader snapped and glared at Foxstar.
"Well Honeystar, this meeting is about the Clans. They're falling apart." The MistClan leader flicked his tail at the light brown she-cat while she hissed in annoyance.
"Swiftstar, I'm well aware of the state of your Clans but my Clan is thriving." The PetalClan leader meowed.
"Littlestar, your Clan is being burdened by BreezeClan just like ours." Swiftstar scoffed.
The small tortoiseshell she-cat hissed and flicked her tail to her deputy.
"Petalwind, how has PetalClan been?" Littlestar inquired.
The white she-cat glared at Breezewing.
"A few border skirmishes with BreezeClan but otherwise strong." She curled her tail and turned away from Breezewing.
"We're still here!" a cat suddenly yowled from the back.
"Quiet Dogfang." Foxstar meowed, his black dipped tail flicking.
"Vulturestar, if I may speak?" A slim brown she-cat inquired.
"Of course you may Mudpool." The golden brown tom purred as his younger sister stepped forward and turned to face the cats of StarClan.
"BreezeClan she-cats are tired of not being treated equally to toms. Ever since Breezewing was killed in battle, she-cats have been viewed as weak and inadequate. Vulturestar do you not realize what an injustice this is? Dear brother, you do not realize that your second mate, Breezewing, died trying to save your life. Only a truly courageous cat could even attempt such things." Mudpool meowed.
The BreezeClan she-cats yowled their agreement while the toms protested.
"The Clan is fine. Mudpool this is not an issue." Vulturestar flicked his ears to dismiss the younger she-cat.
"The Clan will fall apart from within." Mudpool leapt down from the speaking place and sat beside her two daughters.
"MistClan is starving, what about us?" Swiftstar inquired.
"Your Clan was weak anyway." Honeystar snorted.
"Honeystar our Clan is falling apart as well." a small voice said.
"Viperstrike, LeafClan is strong under Wildstar."
The medicine cat shook her head, green eyes bright with distress.
"He is losing control of his Clan. Leafwhisker and Dapplefern have taken over."
Honeystar's amber eyes darkened.
"Leafwhisker has just died at this moment." It was Viperstrike's apprentice, Talonfeather.
The smokey gray tom was breathless and the Clan cats stared.
"Dapplefern's still out there. She will destroy LeafClan if no one stops her."
"What about the prophecy?" PetalClan's medicine cat inquired.
"What prophecy Ospreywing?" Littlestar sighed.
"The robin." The gray she-cat meowed urgently.
"It sounds minor." Petalwind scoffed.
"It isn't!" Ospreywing insisted.
"Quiet!" Foxstar yowled.
The Clans were shocked into silence.
"If we cannot cooperate then we shall let the Clans suffer. This meeting is over!" The ginger tom snarled as he started to walk away.
"Foxstar, wait!" The ginger tom turned to see a silver she-cat pad forward.
"Silverpelt?" He stared in surprise at his first mate, the first cat to die as a Clan cat. She had been one of the nine RainClan cats to eat deathberries in order to create StarClan.
"We must not let the Clans fail. Why let your hard work be in vain? What about the nine cats from each five Clans that gave their lives to create StarClan:? Have we died to guide Clans that will fail?" She held Foxstar's gaze and swept her gaze around the cave.
"What do you have to say for yourselves? BreezeClan has given toms total dominance, LeafClan has been overtaken by she-cats that want revenge, PetalClan has a inevitable prophecy, RainClan is being savaged by LeafClan, and MistClan is being betrayed by its own kits. What have we come to? Foxstar, Swiftstar, Honeystar, Littlestar, and Vulturestar what did you leave the tribes for? Petalwind, Breezewing, Rainflower, Leafheart, and Mistpelt what did you strive to lead? Clans or rouges? Viperstrike, Ospreywing, Streampelt, Yarrowstem, and Cloudwisp, you're medicine cats! You're supposed to guide your Clans, not sit at the mercy of your leaders. Cats that died with me, what did we become StarClan for? Why would we young cats give our lives to watch these Clans fall apart?" Silverpelt's blue eyes glowed with passion as she spoke.
"Silverpelt's right." Mistpelt's deep meow echoed around the cave.
"We must save our Clans."
