I hoped you liked the story so far because here is chapter two!

Places, In case you were confused

Twolegplace-located near BreezeClan's territory but it is separated by a dangerous gorge.

Moon's barn-located near LightningClan's territory and right next to MoonCave

MoonCave-like the clan's Moonstone or Moonpool, located next to Moon's barn and in between LightningClan territory and DrakClan territory.

LakeClan territory is closest to Sun-Drown-Place but far enough away that they don't see it, a bunch of rivers run though their territory and out as creeks into other clan's territories

DarkClan territory- located in a marsh and is surrounded by a swamp because its low land

LightningClan territory-located where the most of the trees stand

BreezeClan territory- located on the moor and has been fighting with LightningClan for many moons over a strip of forest that a creek flows through

Gathering Place-In the center of the territories is a giant platform of land and a giant oak where all the leaders stand during gatherings

Oh and the story is told from all points of view at the same time

The beginning of the story

In StarClan-

When Honeystripe and Silvermist noticed the silver and black she-cat named Sorrow starting to leave the forest where the clans lived they began to fallow her from the skies as Sorrow made her way from the forest to places unknown.

"What in StarClan's name is she doing?" Honeystripe whispered to Silvermist who shook her head and said, "Nothing that can be good."

But what Honeystripe and Silvermist didn't notice was two unknown followers.

As Sorrow went along with her unknown evil intentions a loner that lived in an old twoleg barn, not to far away from LightningClan's territory and almost next to MoonCave, named Moon outweighed the good and the bad of telling the clans that Sorrow was up to no good as she laid on a stack of straw.

'On one paw Sorrow may have a right to take revenge, since the clans killed her family but on the other paw I only heard one half of the story and Sorrow is a crazy she-cat,' Moon thought to herself.

"This is such a pain," Moon sighed. Getting up to head to the forest. "But I won't get a wink of sleep if Sorrow succeeds because there will be no distraction to keep her away from me because what if enough isn't enough and what about innocent kits? I couldn't live with the guilt."

DarkClan-

"Has anyone seen Weaselrun?" Shadowstar yowled from the big tree where DarkClan leaders address the clan.

Poppyfern, Weaselrun's mate, quit washing her son, Shadowkit at the sound of Weaselrun's name.

Just like if the hunting patrol consisting of Runningwolf, Autumnfire and Robinpaw heard her they then came though the camp entrance carrying a limp orange body.

"No! Not Weaselrun!" cried Poppyfern running to the Ebonylight's medicine cat's den, an old hallow of a fallen tree, where they were taking the body Ebonylight left last night to share tongues with StarClan during a quarter moon.

Shadowstar dipped her head in sorrow had to look up so she could give orders to keep the clan's mind off the death of their deputy. While Poppyfern felt many moons older then she really was.

" I want all kits and elders to stay in the camp, no apprentices or warriors can leave camp without another warrior because who ever did this certainly knows how to take down a senior warrior. Now I want all of the kits to stay near a queen, even the ones that have an apprentice ceremony tonight, I also want all Autumnfire to take Fernpaw and Robinpaw please take them to the training grounds, Runningwolf, Rainstorm can you retrieve all of the pray that the earlier hunting patrol caught and please catch a bit more and finally…" Shadowstar yowled but then was interrupted by Viperstrike.

"Can I take a border patrol around camp to see if we spot anything out of the ordinary?" asked Viperstrike.

"That would be great you can take the rest of the warriors except the queens," Shadowstar answered.

Then all of the clan cats ran to where they were ordered.

Shadowstar went into her den, a hollow of an old swamp tree, to think about all of the ceremonies tonight, ten apprentice ceremonies, one deputy ceremony and one warrior ceremony. 'It's great that DarkClan is thriving but why does a murderer have to strike?' thought Shadowstar. She knew Weaselrun since she was a kit and he was an apprentice. They might not have been as close as her and Crimsontail but they were close enough and he would have been a great leader after her. Even though she still has 8 lives in leader time she was in her prime! But if anything should happen she wants to know her clan is taken care of. 'What about Viperstrike?' she thought. 'She might not be my closest friend but she certainly is popular among the clan and she trained Melodysong excellently. I don't want to seem to be picking favorites so Crimsontail is out, Rainstorm is too young, Runningwolf is too head-strong, Nightpelt has refused once so he'll probably do it again, Leafshade is still training her first apprentice and the clans are not ready for a quarter clan cat so Autumnfire is also out. I think I know who is my new deputy.'

Shadowstar looked out of the mossy door of her den and saw Viperstrike giving orders to the cats that just got back from a hunting patrol and border patrol. She hoped Ebonylight would get back soon so she can be given some advice from her closest friends.

*BreezeClan-

Scarletfur padded out of the warrior's den, an old, big rabbit's den, with her mate Grayheart only to see Hawktail getting back from the medicine cat ceremony of sharing tongues with StarClan. Hawktail must have noticed Scarletfur because she came up to her and Grayheart.

"Have you announced your deputy?" Hawktail asked.

"No," Scarletfur answered.

"Well get to it because after you do we are going to Mooncave," Hawktail told her briskly heading off her medicine cat's den which was another rabbits burrow.

Scarletfur's temper got to her because she was off to get that sharp-tongued medicine cat when Gorsemist, who just came out of the warrior's den, stopped her with his tail and said, "Ahh, let her go she's probably just tired."

"In that case she's never slept a day in her life," Grayheart added teasingly.

Scarletfur and Gorsemist playfully rolled their eyes and Gorsemist added, "Better be careful, Grayheart, your life is in Hawktail's paws."

Grayheart eyes grew big, "What if she's tired and I have a huge gash on my side! She could fall asleep and, and…"

"Trust Grayheart to take something and blow it out of proportion," said Scarletfur teasingly to her mate.

"Oh you better announce your deputy and that Adderstar is dead or else Hawktail might come back," Gorsemist told Scarletfur when he noticed Hawktail giving them a menacing glare.

"You mean she was holding back?" Grayheart gasped.

"I'll handle your mate who by the way is worse then a kit," Gorsemist growled playfully at his den mates.

"Yeah but he sure can lighten the mood," Scarletfur added with a bit of a laugh in her voice before jumping up onto the great rock where all the leaders addressed the clan from. "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey to gather around the great rock, I have some bad news."

All of the cats gathered around the rock whispering about what it could be and where Adderstar was.

Scarletfur took a deep breath before addressing the clan about the bad news, "Adderstar is dead, he dead last night from a horrible case of greencough but we are lucky that Adderstar and Hawktail managed to keep it contained. I will be traveling to Mooncave today with Hawktail but before I go, I saw these words before StarClan so they may here and approve my choice, Gorsemist will be the new deputy of BreezeClan."

Shocked Gorsemist stood up and yowled, "If my clan mates will have me I will be proud to serve as your deputy."

There were many yowls of approval, then Scarletfur nodded and jumped down to where Hawktail sat with her brother, Eagletail before heading out to Mooncave.

"May StarClan light your path!" Grayheart yowled after them as they headed out the camp entrance. When they were almost out of sight Gorsemist started giving his orders as deputy. Grayheart gathered Eagletail and Windheart before heading out.

"I want the apprentices to take care of the elders before going out to train and Grayheart, can you lead a hunting patrol consisting of three cats including yourself?" Gorsemist asked clearly not used to the idea of being deputy. When Grayheart nodded, Squirreltail whispered to Moorberry, "I think I'm going to like this new deputy, elders come first."

"Yeah your daughter was a good deputy but she kept telling us to quit whining she'll get to us in a minute," Moorberry answered as they headed back to the elders den to tell the apprentices Sunpaw and Silverpaw what to do.

Wavekit, a kit they found abandoned on their territory then came bounding out of the nursery yowling in her high pitched kit voice, "Ravenwing's having her kits! Don't worry Reddawn is helping her."

For some this is great because more warriors in the clan and for others they have been dreading this moment because the kits father was Darkheart formally Darkfur who was exiled from the clan because he tried to kill Scarletfur to become deputy and they feared they show the same promise as him.

As Wavekit tried to go back into the nursery she was stopped by Kinkfoot who said, "Why don't you take Bluekit and Onekit out to play?" Referring to Reddawn two tom kits that were raised with Wavekit because they were the same age.

"Good idea!" Wavekit shouted. "Hey Bluekit and Onekit wanna play?"

LakeClan-

As soon as Wolffang and Blackwater came into camp, Hailstar leaped onto the great Moss Rock that all LakeClan leaders addressed the clan from.

"Attention LakeClan, let all cats old enough to catch their own fish gather around Moss Rock before you go out to perform your duties to the clan. Wolffang is it your wish to give up the name of a medicine cat and go join the elders?"

"It is," Wolffang gasped, the trip to Mooncave had been hard on him.

"Your clan honors you and all the service you have given us. I call upon StarClan to give you many seasons of rest," Hailstar finished.

Wolffang gently limped to the elder's den joining his brother, Brushclaw, and his old friends that made it to be elders Dappleberry, Moonwave, and Rosethorn. Collapsing when he got there from exhaustion. He was now one of the oldest elders now.

Blackwater sighed knowing her mentor probably didn't have many more moons to go. She then noticed Swiftflight getting rounder and only had a few more days or that night to start kitting, completing the circle of life.

LightningClan-

Flamestripe began the morning by yowling the patrols and giving orders, "I'll lead a hunting patrol I want Rosepaw, Lionmane and Oakseed to come with me, Wildpaw and Ravenpaw your first duties as apprentices is taking care of the elders," he called. Rosepaw then laughed, happy she wasn't the only apprentice anymore and thus had more time for training and didn't have to use as much mouse bile because she now had help. Flamestripe continued, "Evening patrol will be lead by Stoneclaw and Bloodstripe, Owlwing and Ravenpaw will go. Dawn patrol will be lead by Daisystar and Wildpaw, Bramblespots and Oakseed will go. Any questions, comments or concerns?"

When no one answered he jumped down to inspect the dens to see if they needed any repairs.

While all the warriors and apprentices went to do their jobs Spitkit went to the medicine cat den to help Silverstorm, Rockkit, Juniperkit and Loudkit began to play fight and Clumsykit, Lavenderkit and Whiskerkit went to the elders den although Clumsykit tripped a few times on the way there. The queens were sharing tongues and making sure they could see where their kits went.

In the elders den an a new elder Hollyleaf from across the sun-drown-place was sleeping it was probably for the better she was still a little confused when she hit her head 6 moons ago but Rattail and Talltale were up and already arguing over what happened many moons ago while Wildpaw and Ravenpaw tried to get all the ticks off of them.

"I told you I lost half of my tail when a badger bit it off," Talltale said, she was known to exaggerate from her tall tales. She had only three legs, half a tail, one eye, had a bad memory and was almost deaf she lost most of them from her crazy antics as a kit, apprentice and warrior and many cats wondered how she made it to an elder.

"And I'm telling you, you crazy old badger, that you lost half of your tail when you got it caught in a twoleg trap when we were kits. You lost your leg to a badger when you were a warrior," Rattail said exasperated. Rattail was Talltale's brother and he was a small gray and black tom whose tail became bald from one of Talltale's antics when they were apprentices.

"Are you sure? Because wasn't there a badger involved?" Talltale asked.

"Your hearing's worse then your memory, I said you lost your leg to a badger. You lost your eye to a fox," Rattail yowled.

"There's no need to yowl I'm right here but I thought Foxclaw was dead?" Talltale asked.

"He died when we were kits, oh nevermind we'll be having the same conversation in the morning," Rattail sighed. 'If only she didn't fall off those tall rocks when she was a warrior or maybe it was the time when she was hit in the head by a badger, only StarClan how she made it this far.' he thought. Then he noticed the three kits at the entrance of their den.

"Come in, Come in youngsters I bet you want a story," he said to the three kits that were having a hard time not laughing from their conversation.

"When you two finish can you bring us back some fresh kill, if there is any rabbits can you bring me back one and Hollyleaf can have a mouse, plump if there is any, what do you want Talltale?" he raised his voice so she could hear.

"I would like a vole if theirs any, a prop of being an elder is you get to have apprentices bring you back what you want, Talltale answered.

'Strange whenever food or gossip or telling storys is in the subject she manages to hear just fine,' Rattail thought sarcastically.

"Now what story would you young ones want to hear, oh I know how about the time when me and Rattail were apprentices and there were invaders from BreezeClan?" Talltale asked Rattail. "OR how about when PumaClan left the forest?"
Rattail chuckled.

Fin for now.

I hope you liked it! I'll tell more about how Hollyleaf got to the forest. Because at the beginning of every three chapters their will be a story told by the elders!
