As Riverpaw headed to the gathering With her clan she saw for the first time since they were separated, she saw her bother Dragonki- Dragonpaw. She saw him with a grey tom with dark grey freckles talking to each other. The blue tom turn around to see his sister, then he ran to her. "Riverkit! Oh! Riverpaw! I have missed you so much. I thought that I might never see you again!" The blue tom purred in pure happiness.
"I have missed you too, Dragonpaw!" Riverpaw smiled at her brother. "Actually-" Dragonpaw began but then Lovestar call for the meeting to begin. "I'll go first." Willowstar meowed. "We have lost Drizzletail and Harepelt by some unknown rouges." *Was it Lunarstar and Barkfoot?* Riverpaw wondered to herself. "I have gain my nine live and our former leader Lunarstar have betrayed us with Barkfoot and we were forced to chase them out." Mothstar meowed in a monotone way.
Everyone muttered and whispered in surprise. "Well my clan have a few surprises as well. One of our apprentices have made warrior in under two moons. Dragonpaw or Dragonfang." Everyone gasped in shock and turn to the tom. "Dragonfang! Wow! I can't believe it!" All the clan cats whisipered. *Amazing! I never thought that he can make warrior that fast.* The silver she-cat thought.
As soon as the other leaders finished their reports, Morning clan returned home muttering the events of the gathering. That's when a patrol came to them as fast speed. "Liontail what's wrong?" Ivynose asked. "We found... Barkfoot and he's dead. It was also it was Lunarstar who killed him." Liontail reported to the deputy and leader. "What? Oh my..." Riverpaw whispered. "Leaftail is with him, mourning for him." Rockclaw meowed.
Riverpaw, Greyclaw, and Hazeleye came to see the brown toms body with more like a shredded prey and a sobbing Leaftail. "I'm sorry I left you alone with her, Barkfoot. Please forgive me. I love so much, I wish I could have you! I'M SORRY!" Leaftail shrieked in misery. Her brother and only friend join her in the grieving.
Greyclaw saw the progress of her young apprentice and saw as she grew from a playful kit with so much innocence and foolishness to a brave and beautiful cat. Even when Anna died, Greyclaw promised to protect her sibling and foster sibling from danger. She watch her try a south paw and did it perfectly after many failed attempts. "How did I do?" Riverpaw wondered to her mentor. "Pure flawless work, Riverpaw. I will talk to Mothstar about starting your test tomorrow." The grey she-cat smiled as she returned to the camp with the apprentice.
Then Hazeleye saw his future mate and licked her cheek. "Want to have some time to ourselves, love?" The brown tom flirted. The silver she-cat smiled and nodded as they left for the most romantic spot for them. They curled their tails with each other in romance full with love. But something was watching them and hated every moment of love. It's claws were ready to rip them apart for having something that she could never have again.
The creature pounced them, but Hazeleye saw it and pushed the silver she-cat out of the way. It was Lunarstar mad with rage and loneliness. "YOU TWO! I'LL KILL YOU!" Lunarstar screeched in anger. Riverpaw was truly terrified of her, but that did not stop her from saving her truelove. She pounce on the white she-cats back and pushed her off Hazeleye. "I won't let you hurt him." Riverpaw growled.
As they battled, they seem to be impossible to win, but Riverpaw was victories and the wounded Lunarstar fled not know that a cat from her past would end her chapter.
Lunarstar fled with great anger in her throat, not knowing what to do now at this point. But then she heard something splashing near the lake where she was. She crouched down and look through the bushes to see a young blue tom, Mintbreath's son, Dragonfang. *Since I was unable to kill his daughter. I'll take his son's life.* Lunarstar quietly growled as she slowly made her way to him. She smiles at the thought that the fool did not notice her. He lift his head up, not even turning around. "You thought it would be that easy Lunar? I heard you after you entered our land " The blue tom coldly meowed without looking at her.
The rouge was shock from his strong seances. "It doesn't matter if you knew that I was coming. I will get my revenge! And I'll start with you!" Lunarstar hissed at him. "I thought you were going to kill Hazeleye and Riverpaw tonight, did things gone wrong for you?" Dragonfang terribly meowed coldly. *How did he knew-* She thought but then the blue tom began to talk. "It was your soul that told me. I can read you like an open book and use it agents you. But I'm fair,I shall let you have the first blow." The Center clan warrior smiled wickedly at her with his eyes close.
The pure white she-cat try to use a south paw on him but he'd vanished when the claws were only an inch away from him. She looked around for him. "Poor thing... did not get your mouse. This one is faster than Leopard clan. But since your turn was up, it's mine now." His voice growled when Lunarstar was sent back to the shallow part of the lake With a broken jaw. Her jaw hang without her able to close it. "Surprise of my speed. I can even touch your heart without even getting hurt by you." Dragonfang smiled evilly at her as his claws grew to the size of trees and as sharp as wolf teeth.
She was stab from the inside out, or what she thought. "Want to know how I did this?" The blue tom asked as he whispered his secret to her ear. Her eyes grew large with shock. He'd stepped back and grabbed her head with his paws. "Like they say two can keep a secret if one of them is dead." Dragonfang darkly chuckled as he open his eyes to see both dark red. Then the crushing sound sent a few birds away. The blue tom was gone and Lunarstar was left for dead.
"And then Lunarstar runs off with her tail between her legs. Riverpaw was really brave." Hazeleye meowed to their clanmates as they listen to what happened as they stare at the young she-cat at surprise. "Wow, Riverpaw. I'm impressed." Ivynose smiled as he'd turn to the Morning clan leader with an answer. "Yes. Even when you were afraid of her, you still had the courage to protect your clan mates. That should be rewarded. Riverpaw step forward." Mothstar answered. The apprentice stepped closer to the Owl's beak, wondering what the reward is.
"I Mothstar, leader of Morning clan, call on my warrior ancestors to look down at this young she-cat. She has train hard to learn and understand the ways of the warrior code and I asked to look down at her not as an apprentice, but full warrior. Do you Riverpaw promis to uphold the warrior code and protect the clan even at the cost of your life?" Mothstar began. The silver she-cat nodded.
"Than by the power of Star clan I give you your warrior name. Riverpaw you will be known as Riverstream for your bravery and loyalty and make you a full member of Morning clan." Then the clan cheered for the new warrior.
"Blazepaw! Amberpaw! Smallpaw!" The clan cheered for the new apprentices. Blazepaw's mentor was Hazeleye, Amberpaw's was Leaftail and Smallpaw's was Ivynose. Riverstream walked to her mate Hazeleye with a smile. "Looks like you have a lot of work to do. He he he... Looks like you of a pawfull. Just let me know if you need any help, my little warrior." The silver she-cat flirted with the brown tom. The tom laughed a little, then a shrieked came from the bushes as a dark brown tom panting.
"Batshimmer?! What are you doing here?!" Leaftail questioned the Center clan cat. "We... Found... Lunar... Star... She's... D-dead..." The dark tom panted from exhaustion. Everyone gasped in shock from his words. Soon Mothstar and her patrol came to see the slain she-cat. "She looks like that some beast ripped her apart with it's teeth. What did this to her?" Riverstream asked her brother. "No one knows but we are warning all cats to keep a look out, you should take her to the Warrior graveyard." Dragonfang answered as they did so.
As the time passed through the forest, trouble began to stir in the most quiet of nights. A silhouette of a cat shifted it's way to the camp without being detected by the locals of Morning clan. It notice the small mewing sound of kits, what it was looking for. As the shadow loom over Ribbons, and her three kits. Soon she awoke from the dark shadow on her and turn her head to see a rouge in the camp, she let out a screech and everyone awoke to see the injured queen and the kits missing.
"What happened?" Mothstar demeaned. "A rouge got into the clan and stole the kits!" Ivynose yowled as he began the patrol. Pebblestone was the only one in the clan and Leopardlight was nowhere to be soon as Pebblestone healed her she follow the patrol. The patrol search a high and low, then heard heard a yowl from the missing medicine cat. "Come on!" Hazeleye shouted as they followed the sound. They saw the missing kits escaping and running to their father and Leopardlight and the brown tom fighting on the monster path.
Then they heard a monster roaring with anger. The black and white pinned the thief on the road. "What are you doing?!" The rouge shrieked as the monster came closer and closer. "You will never come near though kits, even if we both have to die!" Leopardlight screeched in anger. Then the car hit them both as they were barley alive. "LEOPARDLIGHT!" The grey she-cat screamed as she ran to her side. "Why did you do it?" Pebblestone sobbed. "All cats must be willing to give up their lives, my dear Pebblestone. Goodbye dear Pebblestone. Please be strong for me... and ... please... return the kits to Morning clan..." She moaned as she died.
Then Hazeleye notice the theif was still alive and growled. "Why did you steal our kits?!" The brown tom hissed. "He... told me...if I to...ok the kits...he'll leave me alone..." The rouge moan as began to die. Ivynose did not like the sound of that. Who was the cat who told him to kidnap the kits?
The day after Leopardlight's death and Pebblestone felt so alone. She constantly wonder off somewhere in her den to be alone and cry. But then Riverstream came in moaning in pain. Pebblestone stopped crying and pretend to smile for the young warrior. "What is wrong, Riverstream?" The grey tortoiseshell wondered to the silver she-cat. "I have been feeling very sick. I began to throw up this morning." The silver she-cat moaned from the pain her belly.
Soon Pebblestone examined Riverstream and notice some joyful news at last for the clan. "Riverstream you're..." Pebblestone began but then Mothstar began a clan meeting. The two of them sat down and listen to her. "Cats of Morning clan. I am afraid that Leaftail wishes to join the elders as well as Mintbreath." Mothstar meowed sadly. Every muttered and whispered in shock. "That will be all." Mothstar announced as she and Ivynose leave somewhere else.
The Riverstreams upset face turn into a joyful one from the news she had heard and she left to find Hazeleye who looks terribly upset. "Oh Riverstream after Leopardlight's death, I don't think anything will cheer me up." The brown tom frowned in sorrow. "I think this news will make you feel better, my love. I'm kitting."
As a moon passed, it was time for the gathering and sadly Riverstream could not attended with her mate, due to the fact the her kits could arrive any day and Pebblestone demeaned that the silver she-cat would stay in her den 'till her kits come. Hazeleye agreed with the medicine cat. As the clan walked to the gathering, they notice all but Moon Clan being there. It was not like them.
Another surprise to see the new warrior, Dragonfang, standing on the High rocks. Mothstar walked toward him in confusion. "Dragonfang? What are you doing at the high rock?" Mothstar asked the blue tom. "I will tell in my report." Dragonfang answered as the new leader Burningstar call for the meeting.
"Alright, the meeting is about to begin. Night clan has nothing to report." Burningstar meowed. "Now my turn. I am now the leader of Center clan. Pearleyes retired and Shiningstar's dead." Dragonstar smiled. Everyone gasped in surprise from. "Also the prey has left and our kits grew hungry, when we told Moon clan, they refuse to lend a paw, soon we forced them out." Dragonstar growled in wraith.
Then Auburnstar step forward. "I have agreed hunting rights to him." The white red tail she-cat meowed as she tilt her head in great shame. Everyone protest in outrage. "In order for Center clan to survive, we must take what we need."
