Congratulations to, once again, The Fanfiction Master, for correctly answering the trivia! When Foxleap was an apprentice, he wanted his warrior name to be Foxcatcher.
Blossomheart stayed far from the ShadowClan cats. She recognized Winterstep, Snowpaw, Pebblestone and Wildwind. She let out a small hiss at the site of Wildwind, but stopped when she saw Pebblestone. He's wounds were healed, though they would leave really bad scars.
I'm sorry Pebblestone…
As if he had heard her, the ShadowClan warrior turned his head toward her, his eyes wide with surprise. He meowed something to a cat sitting next to him, then padded over to Blossomheart.
"Roseclaw…" Pebblestone murmured. "I'm so glad you're alright."
Blossomheart shuffled her paws awkwardly. "It's Blossomheart now." She corrected him.
"Oh, right," Pebblestone smiled, "This must be your mate," he added, looking at Coaldust.
Coaldust dipped his head. "I'm Coaldust," he replied calmly, though his neck fur was bristling and his claws were sliding in and out.
"I'm Pebblestone." The grey tom dipped his head as well. He opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by a yowl.
"The gathering has started," Coaldust meowed as he nudged Blossomheart toward the middle of ThunderClan. "You should get back to your Clan." He added, glancing at Pebblestone.
Pebblestone nodded; he flicked his tail goodbye before running off toward the other ShadowClan cats.
"Oh don't be like that," Blossomheart meowed when she heard Coaldust let out a small hiss.
"He's ShadowClan." Coaldust reminded her. "I know there's a truce and everything, but being around all of these cats from other Clans makes my fur bristle."
Blossomheart licked her mate affectionately on the nose. "Well it's only once every full moon, so we should enjoy it while it lasts."
Coaldust nodded in agreement. "I guess…"
Blossomheart looked up at the leaders. "What are their names?" she whispered in Coaldust's ear.
"The grey she-cat with white paws in Wolfstar, leader of ShadowClan,"
Blossomheart held back saying she already knew that and let him continue
"The grey-silver tom is Dewstar, leader of RiverClan, and the dark grey tabby tom is Greystar, leader of WindClan." He finished.
Dewstar stood up. "RiverClan is doing well," he announced. "The lake is full and prey is plentiful. We also have a new apprentice, Oakpaw." All of RiverClan and some cats from the other Clans chanted the new apprentice's name. Blossomheart saw a young light brown tom with white paws lowering his head in embarrassment.
Greystar stood up and raised his tail for silence. "Is that all, Dewstar?" When Dewstar nodded, Greystar looked toward the Clans. "WindClan is thriving. Rabbits are running and our apprentices are training hard." He turned to Brindlestar and added, "That is all," and backed away.
Brindlestar dipped his head. "The same goes for ThunderClan," His voice rang out through the island. "We have two new apprentices, though they can't be here right now. Rubypaw and Tanglepaw." Brindlestar let the ThunderClan cats cheer for the new apprentices, before raising his tail; the cheering died away. "We have a very important announcement, but I must let Wolfstar go first." He backed away.
Wolfstar padded up and glared down at the Clans. "ShadowClan is doing fine," her voice was full with hate. "Many, many, sunrise ago we saved a she-cat who had lost her memory. I allowed her to join our Clan and I gave her the name Roseclaw. We had 4 new apprentices, Skypaw, Pinepaw, Riverpaw, and Shadowpaw. But now we only have 3, because I allowed Roseclaw to mentor Shadowpaw. When she took Shadowpaw out to the ThunderClan border 5 days ago, they never came back and-"
Brindlestar interrupted. "That's why I had to let Wolfstar speak first. That cat you found was a cat of ours, Blossomheart." He looked at where the young she-cat was sitting. "Blossomheart, please come up here."
Blossomheart gulped. The ThunderClan cats moved to the side to create a pathway for Blossomheart. She nervously padded up to the front of the Clans; she jumped up to the branch just above Brindlestar.
You'll know what to do…
The Clan leader's words rang in her head; suddenly, she understood. She raised her voice so all the Clans could hear her.
"Cats of all Clans!" she began. "My name is Blossomheart. My mate Coaldust, my kits Rubypaw and Tangle, and my mother Tulip have been in ThunderClan for awhile now. We used to be loners before we joined the Clans."
Yowls of anger came from the other Clans, especially ShadowClan. Blossomheart looked at Brindlestar, not knowing what to do.
Brindlestar raised his voice. "Silence!" he yowled. The island fell quiet.
Blossomheart nodded. "Yes, I was in ShadowClan for a bit, for I had lost my memory during a battle with a rogue. Before I lost my memory, and consciousness, I had been looking for ThunderClan camp, but I ended up crossing the border to ShadowClan. That's when I passed out, and Wildwind and his apprentice found me. Then-"
"Where is my daughter?" a yowl interrupted. Blossomheart recognized the voice of Willowfur, Shadowpaw's mother.
"Willowfur," Blossomheart began. "This will be hard for you to hear but…" She took a deep breath. "When Shadowpaw and I went to the ThunderClan boarder, Shadowpaw crossed over to ThunderClan and said she didn't want to be a part of ShadowClan's… evil ways." Before ShadowClan could begin yowling, Blossomheart quickly continued. "We began talking about it; I told her that ShadowClan is where she belongs! But she was set to join ThunderClan. The next thing I knew, I was on the other side of the boarder and I got my memory back." She looked at Willowfur. "So to answer your question, Willowfur. Your daughter is back at ThunderClan camp."
Willowfur let out a yowl of fury. "Liar! Shadowpaw would never join ThunderClan!" All of ShadowClan began yowling protests.
"Fox-dung!"
"Mousebrain!"
"Liar!"
"STOP IT!" a voice yowled above the crowd. Everyone fell silent and turn toward the back of the Clans.
Blossomheart gasped. "Shadowpaw…" she breathed.
