Yay, 30 reviews and they aren't even apprentices yet! Thanks for the reviews, I'm going to try and make it to 50!

Maplekit POV

A large gray tom, Smokefoot, held me in his jaws as a huge patrol left camp. Blackstar had announced something about bringing us to the gathering and showing the Clans what ThunderClan is doing. I really didn't understand what ThunderClan was doing but I knew I would in a matter of minutes.

Smokefoot leapt onto a log and dug his claws in so he wouldn't fall.

The log was the only thing connecting the mainland and the island in front of us.

"Don't fall." I mocked and he sunk his teeth further into my scruff. I had long since gotten used to the painful feel of sharp teeth peircing my skin.

"It doesn't matter if he falls. He can swim, you can't." a mottled brown she-cat snarled from behind.

"Kits! A gathering is no place for kits!" a cat screeched when she saw me and the others.

Smokefoot bit down harder and I fought the urge to yelp in pain. I was not weak!

Blackstar climbed up a tree and glared at Bramblestar as he sat down.

"I'll go first." a blueish gray she-cat offered and stepped forward. "Prey is plentiful and Rushtail just gave birth to her first kit, Tumblekit."

WindClan and RiverClan cheered but the other two Clans, ShadowClan and ThunderClan were two busy glaring at eachother to notice anything that the RiverClan leader said.

"Congratulations, Mistystar," a brown tabby tom stepped forward, "in WindClan we have two new apprentices, Goldenpaw and Eaglepaw."

I looked over and saw that two young cats, no doubt the new apprentices, were standing proudly as RiverClan and WindClan cheered.

Bramblestar stepped forward, his fur still bristling. "One of our elders, Purdy, has passed after an unexpected ShadowClan attack."

Hisses rose from the Clans as Bramblestar continued. RiverClan and WindClan looked disapprovingly at those who hissed. "Dovewing finally had her kits, Fernkit, Sunkit, and Ashkit. That is all." Bramblestar stepped back.

I felt Smokefoot move forward until he was at the front of the gathering before he dropped me. I landed on my feet but the gray warrior shoved me forward with his paw. He stepped on my back and held me in place with unsheathed claws.

I looked over and saw that Ratscar, Scorchfur, Rowanclaw and Oakfur had done the same with Thistlekit, Lark-kit, Dark-kit and Honeykit.

"In ShadowClan, prey has been plentiful, new kits were born and our apprentice den is full," Blackstar started, "Until ThunderClan stole one of our kits, that is!"

Yowls of protest rose up and Bramblestar opened his mouth to object but Blackstar silenced him.

"We attacked ThunderClan to get Snakekit back, when we didn't find him. We took five of your kits instead. Now, I wish we didn't."

The clearing remained silent as everyone appeared to be confused.

"Tawnypelt had two new kits last moon, Shinekit and Firekit. Thanks to these precious kits, Shinekit is now named Scarkit and Firekit isn't even alive to call her that."

"W-what do you mean?" Bramblestar stuttered.

"Scarkit came out to play and the first response from little Dark-kit here, was to scratch her across the face."

The Clans gasped and I could see Rowanclaw digging his claws deeper into Dark-kits back.

"The only cat that seemed to be able to talk to these kits, was Scorchfur. When Firekit came into the nursery and accidently interrupted the conversation, Thistlekit attacked him. A few minutes later, he died."

There was a louder gasp from the Clans and Bramblestar stared at us with wide eyes.

"You can have your kits back, but until we get Snakekit back, this is war." Blackstar finished and ShadowClan raced off the island. The rest of the cats just stared at us. Finally Spiderleg, Lark-kits father, stepped forward and took Honeykit in his jaws. Birchfall did the same with Lark-kit, but nobody touched me and my brothers.

"Bramblestar, I am not one to judge other Clans based on how a few of their warriors act, but you're creating new Tigerstars." the RiverClan leader said quietly, "but the thing with Tigerstar is that we knew what he wanted. We don't know what they want."

Well, they are in trouble. Review!
