Boo hoo. I didn't get a lot of reviews last time. (sobs) I hope you guys like this chapter. I'll try to make it interesting.

Chapter 10

"Bramblestar!" Lionblaze raced towards the new ThunderClan leader. The golder tabby tom skidded to a halt. "You are Bramblestar right?" he asked cautiously.

Bramblestar stood at his full height. "I am Bramblestar, leader of ThunderClan and I call a Clan meeting."

Cats poked their sleepy heads out of their dens.

"What's with all the racket? It's dawn, for StarClan's sake, Brambleclaw." Dustpelt croaked.

"This meeting cannot wait. Every cat, gather around." Bramblestar leaped onto High Rock. As ThunderClan gathered, Bramblestar announced, "I have received my nine lived from StarClan. I have earned my name, Bramblestar."

Murmurs of respect rose in the clan.

"Bramblestar! Bramblestar!" Lionblaze started the cheer. Bramblestar raised his tail for silence.

"Cats of ThunderClan. The Clans are no longer safe. At Moonpool, StarClan told me that the Dark Forest is rising."

"Dark Forest?" cats muttered to each other, trying to find out what Bramblestar was saying.

"The Dark Forest is where all cats who did not deserve StarClan go, like Tigerstar." Jayfeather explained.

"So you're saying that ol' Tigerstar is coming to get us?" Mousefur cackled. "Well, if that's the case, we might as well all send ourselves to StarClan, like Longtail!"

The clan started to argue.

"Not even StarClan is safe." Jayfeather hissed.

ThunderClan stood silent for a moment.

"What do you mean? Our ancestors live in peace, surely they don't have to face our danger?" Ferncloud mewed.

"There is something called The Dark Rose. It keeps Dark Forest warriors away from StarClan. It is the uncrossable border, but lately, it has started to fail. The border is dying, and soon, the Dark Forest warriors will kill StarClan, and our ancestors will no longer exist. The Dark Rose also holds the spirits of our oldest ancestors, with enforces the whole StarClan ceasing thing." Bramblestar added.

Jayfeather whispered, "Bramblestar, you must tell them about the three."

Bramblestar stared wide-eyed at the medicine cat. Jayfeather looked at him with so much intensity, it was like he wasn't blind.

He is the least blind of us all. He thought about Jayfeather's power.

"Hello? Bramblestar?"

He snapped back to reality. "There is one more thing you must know." Bramblestar said. "There is a prophecy.

The 12 will witness the end of a Clan. To rebuild and forget will be their destiny. For each sleep Jay walks, will be a door to defeat the fallen forest"

The clan lay silent for a long moment. Finally, Foxleap called out.

"So, what does it mean?"

Bramblestar sighed. "Even StarClan don't know."

Gasps filled the hollow. "But surely they know? It's their prophecy!" a cat shouted.

"No, it did not come from them." Jayfeather meowed. The medicine cat gazed softly at Dovepaw.

Bramblestar glared at the medicine cat. "How do you know?"

Jayfeather looked up, chin raised. "It came from the ancient Tribe."

"They walked this forest, long ago. But they left because of the building of the horse place."

He heard cats murmur.

"I thought the Tribe always lived in the mountains." Squirrelflight called.

He turned his head in her direction. "No. They lived here. Then they moved, just like us."

Squirrleflight nodded and sat back down.

Bramblestar blinked and meowed, "We know that 12 cats will see the end of a Clan. They will rebuild something, and forget another. Each sleep Jay walks, Jay is Jayfeather. Will be a door to defeat the fallen forest. We think the fallen forest is the Dark Forest."

Cats nodded.

"Firestar said that SkyClan and the Tribe would be here to help-"

Sandstorm gasped. "Wait, Firestar spoke to you? Is he okay?" then she frowned. "SkyClan. "

"Yes he is fine." Bramblestar assured.

"Wait, wait, wait. Did you say SkyClan? What's that?" Dustpelt halted.

"Bramblestar meowed. "Yes SkyClan is the lost clan. Most of you from the old forest remember that Firestar and Sandstorm went away for a while.

Sandstorm called out, "yes I remember. We rebuild the old clan and now they live far away from us."

Bramblestar nodded, and said, "The Tribe is close to us, and SkyClan are at the Sun Drown place."

"No, the Tribe is here."

(1 moon later)

"StarClan welcomes us tonight under this full moon for a Gathering. We welcome our newcomers the Tribe of Rushing Water and SkyClan. We all know why they are here, and we all know the dangers. We must figure out the prophecy." Bramblestar announced.

"Bramblestar, if I may?" Mistystar meowed. I have 3 in my clan who have told me they have received their powers. Rushwhisker, Hollowstone, and Mossypatch are RiverClan's three."

Onestar stood up. "Swallowtail, Sedgewhisker, and Thistlestorm are WindClan's three."

Rowanstar shouldered his way front. "Tigerheart, Dawnpelt and Flametail are ShadowClan's."

Bramblestar nodded. "Good. That makes 12. Time to defeat the Dark Forest."

Do you understand now? I hope you do. If you don't, you need to learn your math facts.
