Thank you! Ten reviews! Also, thanks to Hollyleaf is Cool and the Spam Queen for some suggestions (I don't mind critiques, they help a lot.)

Oh yeah, and I think I'm supposed to do disclaimer, I honestly have no idea.

Disclaimer: I do not own warriors or any of these characters. Here's Chapter 8:

It had been three days after the third attack from the DarkForest, and every cat was tense. Most of the attacks had been very closely coordinated and planned, so the cats of ThunderClan had a good reason to think they were planning something big.

Mousewhisker had come out of the medicine den the day before, and every cat was going on a patrol usually at least once a day, as there were so many more cats needed for patrols. It was the day of the Gathering.

"The cats going to the Gathering will be Cloudtail, Brackenfur, Hazeltail, Foxleap, Cinderheart, Icecloud, Toadstep, Rosepetal, Thornclaw, Bumblestripe and Dovewing, Sandstorm and Dustpelt. Bring your apprentices. Tonight the guard on the camp will be Ivypool, Graystripe, and Poppyfrost." Squirrelflight called from her position beneath the Highledge, "Bramblestar and I will be going as well."

The cats murmured and slowly the crowd thinned enough for Ivypool to find her way to the Clan deputy.

"Could I come to the Gathering? I want to hear what Bramblestar says about the attacks recently." Ivypool asked Squirrelflight.

Squirrelflight shook her head. "Bramblestar's orders. You're guard on the camp tonight. Dovewing can tell you what happens when she gets back."

"Oh, let her come. I know what you're worrying about Ivypool – you're worrying that I might make the Clan look weak by saying there's been attacks." Bramblestar appeared next to Squirrelflight, amusement in his eyes.

Ivypool felt her fur get hot under his gaze. "Yes," she muttered, "but I just want to hear what you have to say."

The leader let out a mrrow of laughter and turned to his deputy. "Assign Spiderleg in her place. She can come." He meowed, and padded away with Squirrelflight after nodding again to Ivypool.

Ivypool let out a sigh of relief. I hope now he'll pay extra attention to what he says.

Just after sundown that day, the cats going to the Gathering went out the barrier and headed down their normal route to the Gathering.

When they got there, they found that the other Clans were as agitated as ThunderClan and not willing to talk. Most of them just stared up at the tree from which the leaders usually speak and waited for the moon to rise.

Finally, the four Clan leaders jumped up and placed themselves on the highest branches. Blackstar began. "Our Clan has been doing well since the attack. Prey is running and our cats are strong."

Ivypool saw Blackstar glance at the other leaders before continuing. "However, the last three days, our patrols have been attacked by a cat leading a couple others, a cat no other than Redwillow, who betrayed ShadowClan to the DarkForest."

Suddenly all of the cats in the clearing started muttering. Even the leaders hesitated before Bramblestar spoke up over the noise. "We too, are having this problem. Redwillow stopped attacking us for the last three days." The cats were barely breathing, wanting to hear what Bramblestar would say next. "Luckily no cats have been killed, but Mousewhisker suffered some injury. Nothing life threatening, though. Have any other Clans been under attack?" He asked to all of the cats in the clearing.

Mistystar and Onestar both shook their heads. "No," Mistystar replied, "but it seems like it won't be us before long."

Onestar meowed, "He's targeting two Clans, possibly four, and he has nothing but a small band of warriors behind him. Do you know how he is attempting to do this?"

Blackstar cut off Bramblestar before he could reply. "I don't know if it is the same with ThunderClan, but he's trying to get cats by themselves and then attack while they are alone. He managed this twice, but luckily there were patrols nearby both times to drive him off."

"There's been another problem too. Though we've defeated him the three times we fought him, he just keeps disappearing every time, with his six warriors following him," Bramblestar added, "we have decided that the only way to defeat him is to kill him."

Again there was silence in the clearing below.

"If there are no more things to discuss," Onestar meowed, "I think we should go home with our Clans."

Quietly the cats formed into their Clans and went home. The leaders did not need to share Clan news now. Now all that mattered was to find Redwillow and kill him.
