Yay! New chapter!

This happens about 5 seconds after Volepaw fell asleep, and he's not there, but he's basically Tigerstar.

Thunderandshadowcats: Yes, Flameheart can be in Shadowclan!

shyannada141: Here it is!

Thanks you people and perhaps even cats that are reading this story!

Mapleshade, if you are reading this, I LOVE YOU! EVEN IF APPLEDUSK NEVER DID!


"Brokenstar, I can help you get your clan back." Volepaw mewed.

"How." the blind tom mewed back. "They all hate me! You know that Tigerclaw."

"Keep it down Brokenstar." Volepaw growled. "You don't want the other cats to hear."

Brokenstar grunted, and put his head down in his paws.

"Bluestar said to call me Brokentail." Brokenstar snarled. "Why don't you listen to your leader?"

"Bluestar is an old fool. She doesn't mean anything to me." This caught Brokenstar's attention.

"I think I know where this is going." Brokenstar grinned mischievously for a second, then the smile was gone. "What's your plan."

Volepaw nodded, pleased he had tricked Brokenstar so easily.

"We need to gather your band of rogues." "While they attack camp, I'll get Bluestar, and you we can rule Thunderclan together."

"Together?" Brokenstar jumped to his paws, then quickly sat back down, so as to not draw attention. "I'm going to be leader!"

Volepaw shook his head. "Brokenstar, you are a very powerful cat, but Thunderclan doesn't trust you." "If I become leader, and then appoint you as my co-leader, then you can lead a clan." Volepaw thought for a moment.

"I won't interfere. You get the clan to yourself." Brokenstar nodded. Volepaw stood up.

"Where are you going?" Brokenstar hissed.

"I can't talk to you for too long." Volepaw hissed back. "The clan will be suspicious." Volepaw kept walking.


Volepaw's head bolted straight up. He saw that he was back in the apprentices' den. That felt more than a dream. It felt like a memory.

Volepaw shook himself. Those weren't memories. They couldn't be. Could they?

The cat that he had been talking to, Brokenstar, seemed so familiar, yet Volepaw didn't know what or who he was.

He tried to remember where he had seen Brokenstar before.

Where... Then it hit him. The tom looked exactly like the cat Silverhawk had been training with.

Mapleshade had said he would meet him soon. Maybe this was what she had meant.

Volepaw's stomach growled. For the first time since he had woken up, Volepaw noticed he was starving.

I'll figure out the dream later. Volepaw decided as he padded out of the den. Volepaw grabbed a mouse and started eating with famished bites.

When he had finished, he saw that many cats had gathered at the entrance, looking excited.

"Volepaw." Volepaw jumped. He turned to see Lightpaw laughing behind him.

"That wasn't funny!" Volepaw fumed.

"Yes it was!" Volepaw snarled.

"Come on mouse-brain!" Lightpaw was still laughing, "Can't you have a little fun?"

Volepaw sighed, then nodded, which made Lightpaw laugh even harder.

"Besides, tonight's the gathering!" Volepaw instantly forgot about being mad at Lightpaw.

"I can't wait to meet the other apprentices!"

"You won't have to wait for much longer." Lightpaw and Volepaw heard their father from behind them. "We'll be leaving soon, now even."

Bramblestar padded away, followed by the apprentices.

"Thunderclan! We leave now!" Volepaw looked at the sky. The sun had set, and the moon was rising.

Bramblestar padded out of the entrance, and all of Thunderclan followed.

They bounded around trees, and through, bushes, and finally made it to the tree. Windclan arrived at about the same time. Bramblestar nodded and allowed Onestar to go ahead.

Volepaw decided that this was the time to ask Graystripe a question that had been nagging at him since he woke up.

"Graystripe?" Volepaw mewed.

"Volepaw?" Graystripe turned to face him.

"Who's Brokenstar?" Graystripe looked scared by the question.

"Well..." Graystripe struggled, and looked lost in thought, "He was a... Um..."

Volepaw sat and waited patiently for his mentor. He's Graystripe. Volepaw reminded himself. He's getting old.

"Brokenstar, was a leader, back when I was an apprentice." Volepaw looked up, suprised. Brokenstar lived that long ago?

"He apprenticed kits early, and sent them into battle, killing many of them." Graystripe looked depressed.

"He killed his own father to become leader, and drove Windclan from their home." "He was a terrible, terrible cat."

"He-" Graystripe looked up to see that Windclan had crossed, and that Thunderclan cats had begun to jump on the tree.

Volepaw followed his gaze, to see that they were going to be moving soon.

"Be careful, and watch where you put your paws." Graystripe warned him.

Volepaw wanted to hear more about Brokenstar, but decided not to ask.

He crossed the bridge with ease, and went through the trees, to see the most cats he had ever seen in his life.

"Don't reveal too much to them." Graystripe whispered, "We are at peace right now, but they are still our enemies."

Volepaw nodded and bounded off. He looked to see that Bramblestar was sitting with two other cats. Aren't there four clans?

He was about to go find Lightpaw, when he felt the same feeling he had when he had seen that cat in Starclan.

He turned around to see Brokenstar sitting with a brown tabby with blue eyes. Wait... Brokenstar's dead! Volepaw looked again and realized that it wasn't Brokenstar, but a cat that looked very much like Brokenstar. Too much like him. He padded over.

"Tigerstar!" the brown tabby exclaimed. Volepaw and the cat both looked confused.

"I'm not Tigerstar..." Volepaw said. "I'm Volepaw of Thunderclan."

"Well, good for you." The mini Brokenstar hissed. "I'm Eaglepaw of Shadowclan, and this is Talonpaw of Riverclan."

"I can introduce myself!" Talonpaw half growled half laughed. The pull got stronger.

"Who are your mentors?" Volepaw asked, "My mentor's Graystripe." Eaglepaw let out a laugh.

"That old flea-bag?" Volepaw glared at the rude tom.

"He's a good mentor!"

"Alright you two!" Talonpaw fell over laughing. "My mentor is Duskfur." He pointed with his tail to a she-cat sitting with other warriors. "That's my brother Stormpaw over there."

"My mentor is Crowfrost." Eaglepaw's tone returned was menacing once again. "My so called sister is apprenticed to Littlecloud."

"What's so bad about your sister?" Volepaw was curious as to why Eaglepaw hated his sister so much.

"What's so bad?" Eaglepaw growled. "Scorchfur always loved Rosepaw, never me." "He blames me for Snowbird's death."

"Okay..." Volepaw felt bad for him. "My sister is Lightpaw." He was glad that Lightpaw and him were close.

Volepaw looked and saw that more cats had entered the clearing, and saw a fourth cat join up with Bramblestar.

"We're the only apprentices right now, besides Shrewpaw and Darkpaw." Eaglepaw nodded.

"There's also Flamepaw, but otherwise, that's it. The other apprentices were made warriors, Grassheart, and Spikefur."

Talonpaw opened his mouth but was interrupted by a caterwaul across the clearing.

A large tom stood up to speak.

"I am sorry to say that Blackstar has died." All of the cats, except for Shadowclan, gasped.

"I, Rowanstar, am now leader." Shouts of Rownstar began.

After the calls had died down, Rowanstar spoke again.

"Although I wish we could have kept the peace, I'm afraid Windclan has been trespassing on our territory!"


I am so sorry for this terrible chapter. I'm really sick, but wanted to put this up.
