There's Another What?!- TorrentClan
Stormstar's POV:
"RainClan votes to cast out IceClan," I announce. I wait for the other responses, sure that the other leaders will agree to have IceClan cast out.
"MistClan votes to keep IceClan." Dawnstar replied calmly. One by one, StreamClan and FogClan agree to keep IceClan. IceClan's leader, Mudstar, looks smug. I'm fuming. There have always been four clans around Spirit's Lake, why should that change now? I glance up at the sky to see wispy clouds cover the glowing sphere in the sky.
"Look, StarClan has sent clouds to cover the moon! That must mean they don't want IceClan to remain here!" I cry. Reedstar, StreamClan's leader, glances sympathetically at me.
"I'm sorry, Stormstar, but Mudstar has agreed to not attack my clan if they are accepted into our territories." Reedstar mews. "And they have seized some of my territory." Reedstar's words are reasonable, but I can hear the strain in her voice. She hates this as much as I do, which fills me with relief.
"There are now five Clans around Spirit Lake!" FogClan's leader, Cloudstar, yowls. What about their territory? I think. My question is answered a moment later.
"We shall claim the land from StreamClan and RainClan." Mudstar announces. Silence greets his words. Then cheers.
"Mudstar! Mudstar!" Only RainClan and StreamClan are silent.
"This Gathering is over!" I shout. Clans groups together and I lead my Clan out of the hollow. We arrive back at camp to see waiting for us. They have no idea what happened, but I can guess what they will think. There's another what?!
Reedstar's POV
Why did I not do anything? Now my Clan and RainClan are forced to give up precious territory for a group of rogues!
"Reedstar? Is what they said true?" My deputy, Blackwing, demands. I sigh.
"I believe so, Blackwing." I reply. The news is not welcomed openly either. We have lost so much territory, we can't afford to lose even more. I rise to my paws and Blackwing follows me out. "Cats of StreamClan!" I yowl. "This is a devastating loss, but we will fight back. This lack of prey will make us stronger than ever!" My announcement has cheered the cats a little, but I am considering leading my clan away. There are only supposed to be four clans by Spirit's Lake, not five.
Mudstar's POV
I wish they would trust me. It's not my fault they have such a good system and the dogs chased us out of twolegplace. I will make IceClan a clan to be proud of. We may not be pure-blooded, but we are good cats. We just need a chance to prove ourselves to the clans along Spirit's Lake. Then maybe they will accept us and we will no longer be outcasts. For honor, we need to show that we can follow the warrior code, that we can fit in and be compassionate and merciful.
