Hello! I just want to say that I am so sorry for lack of updating! Things have been crazy and random at school. Next week is no homework, so I should be able to do some more chapters. I really hope you enjoy and please review or PM me for your opinion and suggestions! Thanks! :P

Chapter 26

The sun was murky and virtually invisible behind the fog as the cats of Riverclan padded down the bank towards the trunk that would lead them onto the island. Each clan member filed down the mossy oak. Riverclan cats would usually just plunge into the murky waters, but in Leafbare it was much too cold, not to mention the heavy fog that blinded them.

Hawkface could barely see the cat in front of her! As they filed onto the island, Hawkface cast out her senses. Windclan and Thunderclan were already there, but Shadowclan was yet to come. Hawkface scrambled under the outer bushes and began looking around for her friend, Flamepaw. She could sense her near and old oak tree, a small distance from the other medicine cats. As she neared though, she could see deep marks covering her flanks. She could immediately tell that only a cat could make such deep scratches, from her work with the Riverclan kits. Also, as she neared, her nose tingled with the familiar scent of a kittypet, more so Rarady. Why would Rarady be here if this is a Clan meeting? Hawkface thought as she approached Flamepaw. "Hey, Flamepaw, what happened to you?" Flamepaw didn't say anything, and she just turned and moved away. Hawkface was about to pursue her, but she heard yowls up ahead, and she knew that the meeting was starting.

Firestar padded up, his fiery coat brightening the clearing. All the leaves had fallen off the trees, making it even more of an illusion. "All is doing well in Thunderclan, and there is nothing major to report." Firestar padded back farther onto the branch, but suddenly he heard a cat raising his voice, and he turned to see Suntail.

"Firestar," he mewed with utter confidence, "I have something that I would like to say to all of the clans." He padded up to the roots of the main tree near the deputies, while the other clans looked at him with bewilderment and utter confusion.

"After a long amount of consideration, I have officially decided to leave the clans for the luxurious life of a kittypet."

Suntail had barely finished his statement before howls of protest rung out. Suntail wasn't exactly a popular cat with the clans, but it was always upsetting to hear a cat turn over to the soft life.

Suntail didn't try to defend himself from the jabs of the other cats; he just looked up at his leader, and also his father.

Firestar spoke up. "Suntail, I am very disappointed in you for deciding to leave the clans. Though, I can understand that there is no changing your decision. If you wish to ever come back to Thunderclan, you will be welcome." He said as his voice slightly crackled.

Suntail just nodded a smile. He turned around and began to head from the clearing, and cats parted to let him past. Finally, he reached the end of the bridge, turned to look at all of the cats, and was engulfed inside the misty fog.

Chaos rang out in the clearing. Suntail had just left! She probably knew that Goldenclaw was inwardly bursting with joy.

Finally, silence echoed over the island.

There was a low rustle in the bushes from where Suntail had just left, and out came a pack of cats. They looked horrible, like they had been out in the wild a little too long. But none of them looked as horrid and blood-thirsty as the cat in the front.

He had a beautiful silver coat, but hideous scars and blood stains covered the most part of his pelt. He had blue eyes that gleamed visions in his eyes, and his ears were torn to shreds.

It was a stare down for what seemed like a million moons. Then he finally spoke. "Hello, you wimpy cats you call warriors. I am Moonshadow." He had a surprisingly high voice for his appearance, but there was no doubt in what he could do.

Hawkface heard a slight rustle in the bushes behind her, and Rarady appeared. Hawkface hissed at her, but honestly, she was glad for her company.

Then, Flamepaw appeared beside her. Hawkface slightly grinned at her companions, then turned back to Moonshadow.

"I have been the cat that has been causing 'havoc' in the forest. Now, I will cause havoc for all of you."

He squeaked. There was an essence about him that just made you cringe. He had five "goons" behind, but you couldn't see very well. He turned his head to his goons and muttered something only Hawkface could hear.

"Attack."

Two of the goons leaped and charged at the leaders, which left three at his disposal. His blue eyes scanned the clearing, gleaming with satisfaction until he saw Hawkface. A look of horror appeared, but he quickly replaced it with a smug grin. This time he practically yelled the command. The three goons came charging at the trio. She was ready to defend herself if needed, but she never had to. In a flash, two strong cats were guarding us off. They fought off the cats with ease, and I could instantly tell who they were. Goldenclaw and Tigerheart. The goons sulked back to their leaders, blood staining the dirt under them as they walked. Moonshadow called back to his cats, and they disappeared into the foggy shield of shadows.

I hope you all thoroughly enjoyed! I really enjoyed the presence of Moonshadow, and I hope you did and will too! If you have any other suggestions for some stories you think I should write, please PM me. I want to write a "human" story, but I don't know what to write about! Thanks so much!
