Chapter 19

So yeah! XD Next chapter! Oh and this one (and the next one, being as this doesn't have much to it:P) are dedicated to Vixenfur and Dragonheart. :) I'm sooo sorry I don't come to the site much anymore. :'( I really am.

These are for you!

Dreamstar assembled the troop to go the other Clans.

"I want to get this done quickly," he explained to the other cats. "So try to ooze friendliness so we don't get mauled. I want to be back as soon as possible so I can go and get my nine lives."

Bubblewing chuckled. "Are you gonna drown yourself as an experiment after you get them?"

The new leader glared at her. "Shh. Let's go."

The four cats started at a run towards ThunderClan. They slowed when they reached the border, where they sniffed cautiously to see if anyone was there.

"The scents are stale," Doubletooth reported. "Nobody's on patrol around here right now."

Dreamstar nodded, and they began again, scanning the area for cats.

"Where do you think you're going?" a voice growled.

Bubblewing whipped around to face a light brown tom with darker paws glaring menacingly at them.

Dreamstar stepped forward shakily. "I…I am Dreamstar, the new leader of RiverClan. I've come here to deliver a message to…to Eaglestar."

The tom growled again, piercing each of the RiverClan cats with a frightening look. "Fine. But if you try anything, I swear I'll bury you."

Dreamstar gulped and nodded. The ThunderClan cat led the way to the camp.

Eaglestar was wary of the RiverClan cats at first. He sat down by the fresh-kill pile with his deputy, Goldenheart, and the cat from the border, Littlefoot, by his side.

"What brings you here today?" he asked.

"I am Dreamstar, the new leader of RiverClan," Dreamstar introduced.

Eaglestar's ears twitched. "Well, what happened to Sapphirestar?"

"Er…she is Sapphirestone now. She injured her foot permanently and stepped down as leader," Dreamstar explained.

The ThunderClan leader nodded.

"Bubblewing, explain what happened with the twolegs," Dreamstar meowed.

She did as he said, and stepped forward. "Sapphirestone invited myself and some other cats to go down and investigate what was happening with the strange creatures entering the forest. We witnessed some disgusting things. There were normal sized and gigantic monsters littered everywhere and different sized cages. Many different cries came from the cages, and the stench there was horrible. Sapphirestone wanted us to pass this information to you and the other leaders. She said it shouldn't wait."

Eaglestar processed the information, and then nodded his head again. "All right. I will tell my Clan. Notify me if further actions take place."

Bubblewing nodded, and the four cats moved on to ShadowClan territory.

They noticed a very fresh scent of ShadowClan, close to WindClan. Bubblewing wondered what that could have been about.

Soon enough, they ran into Batwing, ShadowClan's deputy. He was panting; he must have been running.

"What do you need?" he asked.

Dreamstar was surprised by the deputy's sudden appearance. "Uh…can we…see Darkstar…?"

Batwing's eyes narrowed. "…All right."

Darkstar was a very welcoming cat, despite being ShadowClan's leader.

"Please, make yourself comfortable," he meowed. "What can I help you with?"

"Sapphirestar is no longer leader of RiverClan."

Oh, Bubblewing thought, a new introduction!

Darkstar's eyes widened. "What…happened…?"

"She hurt her foot, and it won't ever heal properly. So she resigned as leader. I am Dreamstar, her former deputy," Dreamstar explained politely.

"I see…please tell her I hope she feels well," Darkstar meowed, concerned. "But surely you didn't come here only to tell me that?"

Dreamstar shook his head. "I'm afraid not. On her last excursion, she went with some cats to see if she could find any clues as to what was happening with the creatures popping up in the forest."

Darkstar nodded, and Bubblewing was queued to begin her part.

When she finished explaining, Darkstar was deep in thought.

"I hope this doesn't turn into a big disaster…it might mean the end of us," he meowed. "But we mustn't think that way. There has to be a reason for it, and a way to stop it."

After saying their good-byes, the four RiverClan cats once again set off to different territory. It was nearing sun down by now.

But Bubblewing bubbled with excitement. Now, they were headed to WindClan!

Coyotefur!
