As they kept on walking to the borders of BreezeClan territory, Kestrelpaw sighed and leaned up against Bluepaw. She wanted some of her warmth. There's a heavy wind. It comes through strong, even with the trees. Kestrelpaw can't imagine what it's like for breezeClan. But they have to keep moving.
When they finally reached the borders of BreezeClan's territory, the small group of cats all stopped and opened their jaws to scent the area. They didn't want to be attacked by any BreezeClan cats or any other Clan cats for that matter, they just wanted to find a safe place to stay. "Um, hay, Spottedleaf? Are you sure this is a good idea? We are going to be in so much trouble if we get caught by a BreezeClan patrol." Kestrelpaw meowed, staring up at her mentor with nervous amber eyes. Spottedleaf was about to open her mouth to say something, but someone else beet her to it. "What do we do if BreezeClan's leader doesn't let us stay?" Bluepaw meowed, staring nervously up at Spottedleaf, who just flicked her tail and gave a soft sigh.
"I don't know, Bluepaw. I really don't know. I just hope Rosestar will let us stay, if she doesn't, then we must ask one of the other Clan's." Spottedleaf meowed, flicking her tail and staring into the thicket of dark trees. "Will we have to cross the Thunderpath to get to BreezeClan's territory?" Kestrelpaw meowed, gulping nervously as she stared down at her paws. Spottedleaf nodded and brushed her tail over Kestrelpaw's shoulder comfortingly as they slowly made there way across the Thunderpath.
Once the group of cats had all safely crossed to the other side of the Thunderpath, the eight of them slowly made there way through the fern tunnel that served as the entrance to BreezeClan's camp. But before they could take another pawstep forward, they were stopped by two BreezeClan warriors. "Hay! What is a group of SnowClan cats doing on BreezeClan territory?" A black she-cat hissed, her green eyes narrowing into slits as she flexed her claws, ready to fight if need be. "We want to speak with Rosestar," Kestrelpaw meowed, raising her head and staring directly at the black she-cat, who nodded, and lead the way to Rosestar's den. Surprisingly, the older dark tortoiseshell molly was awake and was quietly talking with two cats.
"Umm... i'm sorry to interrupt, but you have some visitors who wish to speak with you, Rosestar," the black she-cat meowed, ducking her head to Rosestar, who simply nodded her head. Kestrelpaw's eyes landed on the two other cats, one was a ginger-furred tomcat with wide emerald green eyes, and the other cat was a pretty dark tortoiseshell molly with kind amber eyes. "Thank you, Moonflower," Rosestar meowed, nodding her head to the black she-cat, who now had a name to match the face. Moonflower was a fitting name for her, it suited her well.
"Hello young ones, why have you come here?" Rosestar inquired, tilting her head to the side in curiosity and flicking her ears. "Well, you see... it's kind of a long story, Rosestar," Meowed Spottedleaf, digging her paws into the dirt and flicking her tail back and forth as she looked up at the BreezeClan leader. "Go on, we have time." The BreezeClan leader meowed, nodding her head for Nightsong to continue speaking.
The story took a few hours to tell and by the time Spottedleaf had finished explaining everything that had happened not only a few hours earlier, the BreezeClan leader's eyes narrowed into slits and she lashed her tail angrily.
"What?!" Rosestar caterwauled. "Are you serious? Only the Clan leader has control over things like that!" Rosestar screeched, digging her claws into the ground as she took a deep breath of air, after she had calmed down, Rosestar began to speak again. "Was Brightstar there when this was all taking place?" Rosestar asked and the four SnowClan cats all shook their heads. Rosestar sighed and began to pace in circles, her tail still lashing and her forest green eyes were as cold as steel.
...
"All cats old enough to climb a tree, join beneath Highrock for a BreezeClan meeting!" Came Rosestar's yowl from the Highrock. "Noble cats of BreezeClan, it has just been brought to my immediate attention that these SnowClan cats have left their Clan due to one of their apprentices being banished by SnowClan's deputy." Rosestar meowed and yowls of outrage rang out and some of the BreezeClan cats turned to stare at us with sympathetic gazes.
"Does Cinderfrost have bees in her brain?" Came the angry yowl of a a jet black she-cat. "Why in the name of StarClan would she banish a newly named apprentice?" Moonflower yowled, lashing her tail and narrowing her eyes. "Yes, our mother has bees in her brain," Mistyfeather mewed, hissing and lashing her tail. "She's a crazy and power-hungry she-cat who has a grudge against young Kestrelpaw for no apparent reason whatsoever. Kestrelpaw and her mentor, Spottedleaf, were both banished from SnowClan," Mistyfeather meowed, turning to look at both Kestrelpaw and Spottedleaf as she spoke.
"Spottedleaf was SnowClan's only medicine cat and Kestrelpaw is her apprentice," Rosepetal chimed in, flicking her tail at Kestrelpaw and Spottedleaf. "Cinderfrost made a huge mistake! Now they don't have a medicine cat to heal their wounds," Another BreezeClan cat yowled, Kestrelpaw turned and stared at Spottedleaf with a horrified expression on her face, whoever that BreezeClan cat was, they were right, SnowClan no longer had a medicine cat, and was a huge problem. All of the Clans know that they at lease need one medicine cat to keep everyone healthy and safe durning the harsh and frigid leafbare season, but with both Spottedleaf and Kestrelpaw no longer members of SnowClan, there are no other cats knowledgeable enough to work with herbs.
"These poor SnowClan cats have traveled for long enough," Rosestar meowed to her clanmates. "They will stay here in BreezeClan where they will be safe and well cared for," Rosestar continued and all of the BreezeClan cats began cheering in excitement and with those final words, Rosestar ended the meeting and leapt down from the Highrock.
