Lucky awoke to something cold pressed against his nose. The dim light of the warriors' den filled his vision and he saw Lusa sitting in front of him. "Alpha says that he wants you to go on patrol with Martha, Dart, Daisy, Thornclaw, Brightheart, Ivypool, Toklo, and Kallik," she said while Lucky sat up, his bones aching.

"Thanks, Lusa," he whined.

"Also, Bramblestar would like to see you," she added.

Lucky walked out of the den and was greeted with a cloudy day and chilly weather. He shook himself and saw Squirrelflight and his patrol by the camp entrance. "Sorry I am late. Thornclaw's tail kept on flicking over my nose," he grunted.

"That's fine. We're just going to go over to the WindClan border," Ivypool instructed. The patrol walked out of the camp and the two bears made a lot of noise in the undergrowth. There was also a lot of cursing, mostly from Toklo. After a long trek through the territory, there was an opening in the trees and Lucky saw a stream.

"That stream separates ThunderClan and WindClan's territories," Ivypool explained. "The moor is WindClan territory. WindClan cats are very good at running and are swift and fast. But there's very little cover on the moor. RiverClan loves the water and they are very good at swimming, while ShadowClan lives in the marsh and hunts frogs," the she-cat added. Just then, a patrol of three cats came up. A black tom with amber eyes, a white and brown spotted tom, and a heather-brown she-cat with blue eyes.

"What are you doing in our stream? Get out!" the black tom hissed.

"According to what Ivypool said, the stream belongs to both of us, so you have no right to say that," Toklo challenged.

The black tom leaped over the stream and stood up to the huge brown bear. He hissed at Toklo and lunged at Kallik. Kallik, caught off guard, began to bleed; suddenly, the other white bear, Yakone, leaped out of the brush and knocked the black tom off of Kallik.

"Leave her alone!" he snarled.

"Breezepelt, come on!" the other tom ordered.

"Breezepelt, you should've listened to Harespring," the she-cat added.

"Nobody asked you, Heathertail," the tom retorted, getting up and out of his daze. The patrol of cats left the border, arguing the whole way back.

"Well, we should get back to camp," Ivypool stated. The patrol ran back to camp; Yakone took Kallik to Jayfeather while Martha told Bramblestar about what happened. The rest of the day passed in a blur. Alpha got yelled at again by Mousefur, Toklo snarled at everybody, Lusa was quiet, Ujurak was being his weird self, and the rest of the Clan gossiped.

Finally it was time to go to the Gathering. The trek was enough to make Lucky's paws fall off, but the cats seemed unfazed by it. When he saw the tree they had to cross, he wasn't sure about it. He carefully put one paw in front of another and made his way across the tree-bridge without any trouble. Alpha almost fell in and Toklo almost toppled off due to his weight. All of the other Clans acted hostile to the newcomers and the smaller cats hid behind the older cats. Bramblestar leaped up onto the tree along with three other cats.

"Let the Gathering begin!" Bramblestar yowled.

"I shall start off. WindClan has noticed these newcomers have joined ThunderClan," a brown tabby tom announced.

"That's Onestar. He's a mousebrain," Ivypool mewed quietly. Similar announcements passed with RiverClan and ShadowClan. Finally, it was Bramblestars turn.

"Alpha's pack came here two suunrises ago and he has explained that one of his dogs had a dream that included a prophecy. The other creatures, called bears, had a similar experience and trekked here all the way from the old forest," Bramblestar begun. After his speech, the cats seemed a little bit more friendlier, but still wary of the newcomers. "I have decided that we need to split the newcomers up because there's not enough room to house them all," Bramblestar added.

"Dart, Mulch, Bruno, Whine, and Toklo will go with ShadowClan. Lucky, Bella, Sweet, Alpha, Lusa, and Ujurak will stay with ThunderClan. Mickey, Daisy, Spring, Sunshine, Kallik, and Yakone will go with WindClan while Martha, Fiery, Squirm, Lick, Nose, and Moon will go with RiverClan," Mistystar decided.

All of the bears and dogs went their separate ways as Lucky, Bella, Sweet, Lusa, and Ujurak made their way home with the rest of ThunderClan. "Greetings, Alpha," Lucky greeted.

"What you want?" Alpha growled.

"I just wanted to say that I am sorry about my behavior the last past two days. I just want the Pack to thrive," Lucky said truthfully.

"I've been talking to that blind healer cat. He's said that there's such thing as being half-Clan. He said that he and his brother and sister were born to a ThunderClan medicine cat and a WindClan warrior. He was furious when he found out that he'd been lied to his whole life. hunderClan has a lot of non-warrior blood cats and their old leader, Firestar, was a kittypet. Good night, City-Dog," Alpha barked.

"Good night, Alpha," Lucky replied as he settled down to sleep at camp. He closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.

I decided to make Alpha a good guy. The next chapter will be in his POV.
