I don't own warriors or any of the characters. I only own this story and the idea.

The first thing Firepaw did when he got back to camp was wake Yellowfang. The fire haired apprentice shook the old medicine-woman awake. Yellowfang hissed and looked at the one who woke her.

"Yellowfang! Yellowfang! What up, it's important!" shouted Firepaw.

Yellowfang opened one eye and looked at Firepaw. Suddenly Firepaw felt like it hadn't been such a great idea to wake the former ShadowClan medicine-woman.

"I wasn't asleep. You came all the way from the Gathering to me? It must have been important if you are in such a fuss? I guess Brokenstar kept his word." sadly sighed Yellowfang.

Yellowfang didn't have the normal raging fire in her eye. Instead she looked sad and alone. She almost looked like a mother whose child had broken her heart.

"Brokenstar warned us that our kits would be in danger. He said a rough ShadowClan catperson was on the loose, but he didn't mention a name. Most of the Clan thinks its you." confessed Firepaw.

Suddenly Yellowfang's extinguished fire began to burn with its normal power and fury.

"You mean to tell me that ThunderClan believe Brokenstar?" angrily hissed Yellowfang.

"Yes! Darkstripe says you're dangerous. The others are scared of what you might do. Tigerclaw is planning to drive you out of camp or worse he plans to ki…You have to leave! I know you wouldn't harm a kit but the others won't listen. You have to escape before it's too late." worriedly said Firepaw.

Firepaw could hear the footsteps of his Clanmates close by. If Yellowfang didn't leave soon it could be the end of her.

"Go! Now!" snapped Firepaw.

Yellowfang smiled and pat the young apprentice on the head.

"You believe I am innocent and the others will have to in time. If not I can take a little comfort in knowing that at least one of ThunderClan do not believe the lies of Brokenstar. Bluestar will give me a proper hearing before making any rash decisions. Besides I am getting old and I can't keep run anymore. I shall stay and live with what the Clan decide to do with me." declared Yellowfang.

"But what about Tigerclaw?" pointed out Firepaw.

"He is headstrong and quick tempered. He believes he rules over the entire Clan but it is Bluestar who will make the final decision." stated Yellowfang.

The sound of the footsteps got closer and closer, so close it was possible to hear the breath of the multiple catpeople coming that way. Yellowfang turned to Firepaw and hissed.

"Go now Firepaw. Don't get yourself into more trouble by letting them find you with me. Go now or I will make you." hissed Yellowfang.

Firepaw ran off to the apprentice tent before any of the warriors noticed he was there. Graypaw and Ravenpaw were waiting outside the tent for Firepaw.

"You went to warn Yellowfang didn't you?" quietly asked Graypaw.

"Yes I did, but she wouldn't leave. Did anyone miss me?" replied Firepaw.

"Only us." said Ravenpaw.

An uproar spread throughout the camp. All those who had been asleep were now wide awake.

A lean and slender male warrior dressed in full clothing with long brown hair in a ponytail, pointed ears and a long brown tail ran out of the male side of the warrior tent. Firepaw recognised the warrior as Runningwind, twin brother of Mousefur and son of Halftail and One-eye.

"What has happened?" asked Runningwind.

"Brokenstar has demanded ShadowClan hunting rights in ThunderClan territory." snarled Longtail.

"And he warned us of a rough. It's Yellowfang." added Willowpelt.

"SILENCE!" yelled Bluestar.

All the talking and whispers stopped and everyone of the catpeople looked at their leader. Tigerclaw and Darkstripe came into everybody's view forcefully taking Yellowfang with them.

"Release her at once. I did not order her to be brought forcefully." growled Bluestar.

Tigerclaw and Darkstripe let go of Yellowfang as Bluestar ordered. Bluestar jumped onto the Highrock and began the Clan meeting. Firepaw was about to run out when Graypaw stopped him.

"Wait Firepaw. Let Bluestar handle this." whispered Graypaw.

Firepaw had no choice but to stay put. Bluestar angrily glared at Tigerclaw and Darkstripe. Frostfur came running back from the nursery.

"We got back in time. The kits are safe." told Frostfur.

"Of course they are safe." snapped Bluestar.

Frostfur seemed a little bit scared of her leader. The queen slightly shrunk under Bluestar's deadly gaze.

"But we are going to thrown Yellowfang out?" nervously said Frostfur.

Darkstripe looked at the cowering queen. A dark look swam in his eye.

"Throw her out? We should kill her right now." spat Darkstripe.

"And what has Yellowfang done to be thrown out of our territory?" coldly said Bluestar.

Darkstripe and everyone else in the Clan was beginning to get scared, even Tigerclaw showed the physical signs of being somewhat scared.

""We all hear what Brokenstar said! Yellowfang was the one…" began Darkstripe.

Darkstripe was cut off by Bluestar. A low growl exited the back of the ThunderClan leader's throat and she let out an angry cat like hiss. Everyone was for sure now defiantly scared of Bluestar and what she might do next.

"Brokenstar only said there was a rough roaming the territories. He did not mention Yellowfang. The kits are safe. And for as long as Yellowfang remains in this Clan she will not be harmed in any way." declared Bluestar.

Firepaw let out a silent sigh of relief. Yellowfang stood to her full height and looked the ThunderClan leader in the eye.

"I will leave if you wish it, Bluestar." said Yellowfang.

"There is no need for you to leave Yellowfang. We have more important matters to worry anyways. We must decide what to do about the real threat to the Clans: Brokenstar. We have already begun to prepare for an attack on ShadowClan. WindClan has been defeated. RiverClan gave up their hunting ground. ThunderClan alone stands against Brokenstar." announced Bluestar.

"Then we are not going to agree to Brokenstar's terms?" questioned Tigerclaw.

"Clans have never shared hunting grounds. We have always managed to support ourselves on our own territories. It has been this way since the beginning of the Clans. There is no reason for it to change now." stated Bluestar.

Tigerclaw wickedly smiled and nodded to his leader. Smallear's voice could be heard over every other whisper coming from the Clan.

"But can we defend ourselves against ShadowClan? WindClan was defeated! RiverClan didn't even try!" yowled Smallear.

"We will have to try. I shall travel to the Moonstone and speak with the warriors of StarClan. You must all get some rest. I wish to speak with Lionheart now." finished Bluestar.

Bluestar jumped down from the Highrock and enter her tent, followed by Lionheart. The rest of the Clan began to go their separate ways. Firepaw looked over to Graypaw and Ravenpaw.

"What's the Moonstone?" asked Firepaw.

"It's a great crystal rock at the bottom of a large cave. Leaders go there to speak and share dreams with StarClan." answered Graypaw.

The three apprentices went into the tent and laid down their weapons. Dustpaw and Sandpaw came running in a moment after them.

"So what happened at the Gathering?" wondered Dustpaw.

Dustpaw's excitement must have made him forget how much he hated the three apprentices. Graypaw began to tell what happened at the Gathering. Lionheart entered the apprentice tent and hour or two later.

""It seems that Firepaw, Graypaw, and Ravenpaw are about to reach another important stage in their training." lightly chuckled Lionheart.

"What's that?" curiously asked Graypaw.

"Bluestar wishes you three to accompany her to the Moonstone!" told Lionheart.

Firepaw, Graypaw and Ravenpaw all looked surprised and shocked at once. Dustpaw and Sandpaw looked more disappointed than when they found out they wouldn't be attending the Gathering. Lionheart kindly smiled at the two sad apprentices.

"Don't worry you two, you'll make the journey soon enough. For now you must stay in the Clan. I am staying behind as well. Rest now you will need your energy for the journey tomorrow." said Lionheart.

Lionheart left the tent disappeared into the night. Firepaw looked over to Sandpaw who looked like she was about to cry. The red haired apprentice put a hand on the young she-cats shoulder.

"You'll get to go with Bluestar to the Moonstone next time. You're a great fighter and hunter Sandpaw and you'll be an even greater warrior someday." reassured Firepaw.

Firepaw leaned closer to Sandpaw and she leaned closer to Firepaw. The two apprentice's faces were only inches apart. Suddenly the realised what they were doing and jerked apart. Each had a crimson red blush upon their face.

"That was close. I nearly kissed Sandpaw! Sandpaw! The she-cat that has been nothing but mean to me since I joined the Clan. Although she has been a lot nicer lately. And she is pretty cute. What am I thinking! I must have eaten a piece of crowfood or something. Maybe some sleep will help clear my mind." intensely thought Firepaw.

Firepaw climbed into his sleeping bag and waited for tomorrow. He tried to stop thinking about Sandpaw and get some sleep. When he finally did get to sleep his dreams were filled the entire night by a searten young ginger haired she-cat.

Sorry about the late update. So what do you think? I made it a little more obvious that Firepaw likes Sandpaw. I at least think Sandpaw had a bit of a crush on Firepaw later in the book and I'm just bringing that into my fanfic. Comment if you like the story and review my other stories as well.
