Chapter 9

WindClan

Mintpaw's POV

Mintpaw noticed Mosspaw was staring warmly at everyone in the group.

What's with her? he thought. Mintpaw decided to ignore it and looked back at the Great Rock.

Dapplestar nodded to show he was done and stepped back. Darkstar spoke last.

"I must speak to my deputy before my report."

Mintpaw looked back at the group. Snowpaw, Mousepaw, and Leopardpaw seemed annoyed that the Gathering was paused. He was surprised that Mosspaw's warm look disappeared and was replaced with a guilty look.

Just by looking at her Mintpaw knew something was up.

Darkstar finished talking to his deputy and stepped forward.

"We also have two new apprentices, Mosspaw and Leafpaw. More importantly, ShadowClan has trespassers."

Mintpaw notices all the cats in the hollow tense. Which Clan did Darkstar think was trespassing on their territory? It's definitely NOT WindClan! Mintpaw looked at Mousepaw, Snowpaw, and Leopardpaw. They didn't look guilty. In fact, they looked… suspicious.

Dapplestar looked at Darkstar. "Now, how are you so sure the Clans are trespassing on your territory!"

Swiftstar stepped up and bared her teeth at Dapplestar, "You seemed to defend your Clan pretty quickly! How do we know ThunderClan isn't doing it?"

"How about you let me finish!" Darkstar growled, "These trespassers have also been taking our prey."

"Outrageous! What Clan would take your crowfood?" yelled a cat from RiverClan.

"Apparently, all the Clans want our 'crowfood'." Darkstar replied, glaring at all the other Clans.

OK, so this is short too, but I promise the next chapter WILL be longer!

I also figured out how I'll be posting my stories! There will be a new chapter to "Bonds From Different Clans" every other day. There will be a new chapter to "Grace's Secret" after the new chapter for this story.

Please review!
