Chapter Three
"Group!" Fox calls from a beam of the barn and the cats look up, "Duskwater told me a bit about clan life and I really like the idea! So I think that we should become a clan. Not exactly like the clans she knows of but I'd like to explain!" Fox meows and he jumps down towards where the cats are gathered. I hope this is the right decision! Duskwater thinks to herself as Fox explains the general idea of a clan.
"Any objections?" Fox asks and River pads over to Fox.
"So we have to feed the old cats before us and we can't eat while were patrolling or hunting?" he asks his eyes narrowed and Fox turns to Duskwater.
"Yes, a clan is about feeding the queens and elders before warriors and apprentices eat. Then the queens won't have to leave camp and the elders won't die of starvation because we will be feeding them." Duskwater explains and to her relief the cats look happy with this idea.
"We can't leave the barn until were six moons!" Music meows unhappily and Duskwater nods,
"Yes it's for your safety, there are dangers out of the barn and you will be trained when you are ready!" Duskwater meows and she sees Shinning's, Brook's and Leaf's faces light up at this idea.
"Any more objections?" Fox asks and to Duskwater's surprise no cat comes forward,
"It will be hard to understand but once you get the feel of having a clan you won't ever want to be without one. At least that's how I feel." Duskwater meows and she sees the group glance at each other uncertainly.
"Of course you don't have to stay if you don't want!" Fox meows and Clash steps forward,
"How do we choose leader?" he asks and Duskwater is surprised, I thought Fox was the leader! How should I have them decide on leader?
"Okay what cats want to be leader? Being leader means you'll lead us, tell us when we should fight, when we shouldn't and remember you MUST obey your leader! Its part of the warrior code." Duskwater explains and Clash, Fox and to Duskwater's surprise Blossom pad forward. "Okay so Clash, Fox and Blossom want to be leader!" she meows and the three cats nod. "Once we've picked a leader they will pick a deputy and that cat will become leader when the leader dies. They will organize all the patrols and everything, there the assistant to the leader. You MUST also obey the deputy when he or she tells you to do on a certain patrol." Duskwater explains suddenly realizes all the cats are listening to her as if she was there actual leader. They'll make a good clan! And I'll be part of it! "Of course we already have a medicine cat, there the cat that cares for the clan by treating injuries and interpreting signs does anyone have an objection with Twitch being are medicine cat?" Duskwater asks and no cat comes forward. "Good! Then Twitch I'm happy to say you're the new medicine cat!" Duskwater yowls,
"Twitch! Twitch! Twitch!" the cats yowl and Twitch looks happily up at Duskwater.
"Of course we'll have warriors and they will mentor the apprentices. We have some apprenticed age cats, Music, Silver and Comet step forward!" Duskwater calls and the three kits bounce excitedly over to Duskwater. "I know I'm not leader but I have the wonderful opportunity to make three kits the first apprentices of are clan!" Duskwater meows and Shinning and Brook's faces are lit with pride. "Music, Silver, Comet from this moment on you are officially apprentices!" Duskwater yowls and the three cat's eyes glitter with excitement.
"Music, Silver, Comet!" the cats chant, "Music your mentor will be Clash, Silver your mentor will be Blossom and Comet your mentor will be Fox! That way these cats will be able to become leader because you must have trained your own apprentice to be deputy or leader!" Duskwater meows and the new apprentices race over to their new mentors. Clash, Fox and Blossom's eyes are shinning and Duskwater flicks her tail for silence. "The rest of the clan are warriors, elders or queens. I know Brook and Leaf are queens, is there anyone else expecting kits?" Duskwater ask, and to her surprise Zoe pads forward.
"Umm…I'm expecting Fox's kits!" she mews happily and Duskwater hears Shinning hiss at the black tom.
"That's great news Zoe of course you can be a queen!" Duskwater meows ignoring the meows of shock that are going around the group.
"Are there any cats that are too old to be warriors and wish to be elders?" Duskwater asks and Shinning pads forward.
"I know I'm old but…well I don't feel like…well Fox has Zoe now and…I want to be an elder!" Shinning states and Duskwater nods,
"I was an elder in my clan, I was young, and it was because all my kits died. I know you will be an excellent elder Shinning! After all you'll still get to hunt if you wish and you can tell stories to the new kits!" Duskwater meows. "Before we decide on a leader are there any cats who wish to not be in this clan?" Duskwater asks and Hyacinth andYatimah pad forward,
"Were sorry but we don't agree with this and would rather leave!" they meow and head out of the barn.
"I'll miss you! But I believe in this clan!" Lavender calls and they just flick there tails.
"Okay we will now decide on a leader and the leader will choose a clan name! Please take a pebble and put it beside either Blossom, Clash or Fox!" Duskwater yowls, this is working! I'm beginning to be part of a clan again!
Remember to please VOTE! Review and tell me some good clan names!
