Chapter 2

Close up Joypaw could smell the other apprentices. They all smelt like her under their clan scent and she wondered why.

"I am leader of Oceanclan and my name is Pepperstar." Pepperstar mewed. "And this is my apprentice Joypaw." Joypaw looked around the apprentices. All the other leaders introduced themselves and their apprentices.

" Will you tell us what's going on now?" Featherpaw of Skyclan mewed impatiently.

"Patience Featherpaw." Snowstar soothed calmly. " It's a long story."

Do any of you apprentices know that Bronzestar, Honeystar, Snowstar and I are siblings?" Pepperstar asked. The younger cats gasped and she purred softly. "I guess not."

"If you're siblings than how come you are in different clans?" Asked Featherpaw aggressively.

"Our parents were Cloudfeather of Oceanclan and Blueheart of Earthclan." Honeystar mewed. "Because we were half clan some of the cats of Oceanclan were mean to us and a few swore to destroy us." Joypaw gasped. She never thought her birth clan could be so cruel. "We are in different clans because Snowstar, Bronzestar and I never felt quite comfortable in Oceanclan. At the first gathering we found friends who were nicer to us than the cats of Oceanclan had ever been. We decided to leave with them and we went to different clans. Pepperstar stayed in Oceanclan because Hoofpad was there."

Joypaw now understood why Pepperstar had been so worried about other cats leaving with other clans. "How does this concern us?" She asked cautiously.

"Prepare yourselves, for this will come as a shock." Pepperstar warned. "You four… Are siblings."

An eerie silence hung over the 8 cats. "W-we can't be siblings." Grapepaw, the Earthclan apprentice finally stammered. "We're in different clans."

"We're siblings. We're in different clans." Bronzestar mewed simply.

"Your mother is an Oceanclan warrior. Moorheart." Pepperstar explained.

"Your father is my deputy. Whitewind." Snowstar sighed.

"Shouldn't you have taken away his deputy title?" Featherpaw asked her mentor aggressively. "I mean, he broke the warrior code." Joypaw sighed it seemed that not even the shock that had been announced could falter this cats aggressiveness.

"He wasn't deputy." Snowstar mewed. The apprentices gasped. " When Pinepad decided to retire to the elders den I knew Whitewind was the correct choice. When he made his mistake he was young. When Blueheart and Cloudfeather made their mistakes they were young. They all remained loyal to their clans."

"Still, why are we in different clans?" Silverpaw, the Airclan apprentice asked cautiously.

"Moorheart's mother was from Oceanclan and her father was from Airclan." Honeystar mewed softly. "And Whitewind's mother was from Skyclan and her father was from Earthclan. Your blood carries some of each clan."

"When you were born a great controversy erupted. Each clan though they had some right to the kits. There would have been a war." Pepperstar mewed.

"So to solve it you separated us." Joypaw looked at her siblings and saw their eyes fill with hurt. She was sure hers were too. A bit to mushy?

"You were young. We were afraid you'd go to different clans or leave the clan's altogether."

Joypaw tried to change the subject. "You talked about days. What did you mean?''

"To stop you from knowing about this we arranged gathering days." Snowstar mewed.

"Why didn't Moorheart nurse me if I remained in Oceanclan?"

"I asked her not to." Pepperstar mewed simply. "She may have told you. And she accepted gladly. She knew it would be harder to nurse one kit than the four that she had had."

"Oh." Joypaw looked up at the sky and was surprised to see that it was almost dawn. "Are we going to go back to the clans now?"

Snowstar looked up at the sky. "Yes. Goodbye. Come on Featherpaw." The remaining six watch the two tails disappear into the undergrowth. The next to leave were Honeystar and Grapepaw. Finally only Bronzestar, Silverpaw, Pepperstar and Joypaw left. They said goodbye to each other and left.

A new chapter in Joypaw's life was open.
