Heey all! SO getting back into posting regularly, hope you enjoy the next chapter. Hollowstar had been sneaking away but who has she been meeting? Also I have recently realised I made a mistake previously in an earlier chapter- the ceremonies. I mentioned Rosepaw becoming a warrior Rosestem but also that a kit with the same name was becoming an apprentice however I meant Daisykit was becoming an apprentice with the mentor of Treeclaw. Sorry about that if it confused people... Enjoy :)

Chapter 10

Brackenfang glanced over to his younger sister and she could see his hazel eyes filled with worry. Without an answer he pulled ahead of Speckledawn to show her to the border. As he pulled up, Speckledawn slowed down behind him and both dashed behind a prickly shrubb. He flicked his tail for silence as quite mumbling could be heard as he crawled into the shrub.

Ignoring her brother she asked, "Who is that with Oakstar?" Brackenfang stared through the thorns to see what she was talking about, he had only seen one tom the past time he went to spy on them together but now there was the Forestclan leader there too.

"She normally is here with Whitefire," he explained, "the tall white tom with orange eyes and a ginger red stripe along his back... but this is the first time I've seen Oakstar here." Speckledawn watched the Forestclan leader with an intense glare. He had a ginger brown tom whose muscles were clearly defined. His amber eyes weren't filled with bravery and courage like usual but instead horror.

Oakstar bowed his head to Hollowstar and before flicking his tail for Whitefire to follow him away he shook his head and padded off. Speckledawn caught the longing look the white tom gave her sister before bounding after his leader and disappearing behind the tall trees.

Hollowstar was left standing alone with her ears flat against her skull, "how am I going to tell Speckledawn..." she sighed to herself. When she heard her voice she felt her body freeze and her heart sink.

Brackenfang pressed close to her sister's side and meowed quiet hush, "it looks like she will stay there for a while lets go back- you kits must be worried." Speckldawn nodded and the two made their way back not forgetting to each bring a piece of freshkill.

"Mama!" Foxkit called as she saw her walked through the entrance. Furzepaw was chasing after her with Eaglekit at his heels, they too had similar faces to Oakstar and Hollowstar. Foxkit tumbled over her front paws and bowled into Brackenfang who laughed at the ginger she-cat.

Daisypaw held Badgerkit in her mouth. His eyes were closed and his tail kept twitching. Behind her stood Lotuspaw however her attention was on the dark brown kit wondering off into the warriors den. She frowned to herself and crept after the suspicious kit.

"Is everything alright?" Speckledawn asked Furzepaw and his sister who had placed Badgerkit at his mother's paws. She looked down at his shiver body and pressed her nose to his belly.

She questioned to the apprentices she had left in charge, "what is happening to him?"

What did you guys think leave a review. Sunny sure Smokewhisp and Cinder Rockstar can join Mountainclan which leads me on to asking has anyone got any OC or other cats they would like to meet at the gathering remember deputies and medicine cats for Mountainclan, Lakeclan and Forestclan are still open as well as the leader of Lakeclan. Also I'm letting the you the reviewers pick which path you wanna know about (I've written two) would you like to know about Dogkit and Lotuspaw or Badgerkit; you chose :D
