Chapter 18
The friendly stranger and old enemies
As he led them into the camp they found a light orange tabby with a ginger mask and a fluffy ginger striped tail. He looked up and jumped in surprise at the big group of cats. "O..Oh.. H.. Hi, I'm Raccoon. I mean mean no threat, I was just collecting herbs as I want to join a clan as a medicine. cat ." Reaperclaw looked to Leafdawn and Chestnnutflight and asked "What should we do?" "I think he's harmless, he should be ok to join." Said Leafdawn. Chestnutflight took a moment to think before saying "I think Leafdawn is right, he seems harmless and we do need a healer or as he called it." Reaperclaw nodded then said to Raccoon "Ok Raccoon you can join as our medicine cat I'll announce you to the clan once we get settled in." He showed everyone where the different dens were and showed Raccoon where the medicine den was, he watched the queens get their kits settled then found his dad's den and the high rock. Memories of coming into his den to find Duskkit flashed in his mind, he then jumped on to the high rock and yowled "let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join me under the high rock for a clan meeting." His new clan gathered under the rock as did Raccoon. "First of all since I'm going to leader I'm going to announce the deputy first, I say these words before Starclan so they may hear and approve of my choice, Falconwind will be the deputy of Duskclan!" The clan cheered Falconwind's name. "I also have a cat to introduce to everyone. Raccoon come up here please." Raccoon was nervous but jumped up and joined Reaperclaw on the rock. "Everyone this is Raccoon, he wanted to join us as a medicine cat, so I let him join. We'll call him Raccoon until Starclan gives him a new name." Everyone greeted Raccoon and called his name into the sky, Reaperclaw felt happy to have his own clan. The clan didn't get to celebrate for long as some familiar looking rouges barged in to the camp with an angry yowl. Reaperclaw gave a battle cry and launched himself at the white tom cat and the camp exploded into action. Bouldernight tackled a dark gray tabby while Falconwind fought off a bracken colored tom. Leafdawn was fighting a silver and white she-cat, close by Chestnutflight was fighting a dark brown tabby. The queens were protecting the kits and the other warriors were fighting off the other rouges. Reaperclaw finally chased off the white tom as the other rouges were retreating as well. "Never come back!" He yelled as he chased them out of the territory. As he got back he saw Raccoon already patching everyone up including himself as he got a sliced ear and as Reaperclaw waited for his turn he could only feel happiness even though the rouges attacked, he was home and that was all that mattered at the moment. That night he chose to sleep with his clan mates as he wasn't a leader yet, but no one seemed to mind. Reaperclaw knew he had more work to do but for now he'll dream under the protective bracken in his peaceful forest.
