Fallendust (who usually had a white paw) had a red one. Everyone can see why. "Dirty rotten DewClan cats!" He heard Yellowtail spit. DewClan was the neighbouring clan, and very sly at that. Fallendust had fallen in love with Frostwing. That sly old tom! He tricked poor Fallendust into squashing a death berry. He knew that wasn't an excuse in LeafClan. Fallendust was crying. Ratheart wanted to comfort her, but he would do that when she moved into the Outcast den. Let's hope a miracle happens for Fallendust.
"All perfect cats gather under the Big Stump!" Flashstar yowls from camp. Fallendust hangs her head in shame and pads to the Big Stump. "Fallendust! Your Outcast name will be Bloodclaw. May you never be praised again!" He hisses. Everyone clears away from the stump.
As Ratheart walks into the Outcast den and notices that Bloodclaw is crying. "I am going to get Frostwing for what he did to me! I can't believe he would do that!" He heard her wail. Threelegs and Scareye are already comforting her. Scareye particularly. Scareye was Bloodclaw's mother, although Bloodclaw didn't know that. Honeywhisker was lying on her bed. 'Probably asleep' Ratheart thought. Ratheart lay on his bed, letting the moaning and grieving drift him to sleep with only one thought ringing in his head 'We've got to get out of here...'
The next day Foxstar was picking cats to go to the gathering. All the Outcasts had to come since a recent naming. Bloodclaw would always love it when they brang Outcasts to the gathering for everyone to shame. Now that she was one, Ratheart could'nt bare to see her shamed. Ratheart had been shamed many time by the other apprentices, except for Pinepaw. He hadn't met any DewClan Outcasts yet. Scareye says that they don't even have Outcasts, Threelegs thinks otherwise.
"My elders told me DewClan was created as a competiton, which clan was more perfect? I think DewClan cheated though" Threelegs would rasp on the way to the Gathering. When they reached the Gathering, Pinepaw took Ratheart aside to meet the other apprentices.
"These are my friends, Riverpaw and Barkpaw" she meowed. Riverpaw and Barkpaw can hardly keep themselves from guffawing when they see me. Pinepaw looks offended. Ratheart looks confusedly over at Pinepaw.
"Don't I look humiliating enough for you?" Ratheart meows.
"No, I was going to bring you here to actually meet these two buffoons" Pinepaw meows, making Riverpaw and Barkpawget up and clean themselves up.
Ratheart nods his head, as the leaders began their announcements. "In DewClan we have nothing to report except that we still haven't had a single Outcast!" Splashstar meowed with a sneer. Flashstar sighed as he meowed;
"We have one new Outcast. Bloodclaw. LeafClan! We are leaving" he finished hurriedly.
"Oh no you don't Ratheart! Remember? The Outcasts always come to the Medicine Cat Gatherings" Pinepaw hissed in his ear. He sighed and followed the medicine cats up the windy path to the Starry Oak. When they finally reach Starry Oak, Juniperfang meows
"It's time to get rid of this Omega rule!" He bursts out . Threelegs Scareye and Bloodclaw nod their heads. Ratheart looks stunned.
"I agree!" Yowled Pinepaw. Featherleaf yowls in approval. Gorsepaw keeps quiet, but nods her head
"What do you say we do about it?" Ratheart piped up. Instead Juniperfang turned his head away his ears pricked with alarm.
"It's just Riverpaw, and a few DewClan cats." Featherleaf meowed calmly.
"But they will ruin it!" Juniperfang hissed. Gorsepaw shook her head
"These DewClan members agree with us in our argument. Juniperfang, have you told Flashstar the truth that StarClan sent us?" Gorsepaw meowed sternly. Juniperfang shocked at her tone of voice just shook his head.
"Flashstar believes it is fake, and if I try to convince him one more time... It's me up in StarClan" he muttered gravely.
"Let's go now, its getting late" Featherleaf meowed. The DewClan cats slowly began to leave, LeafClan also left.
Ok guys this will probably be the shortest chapter in the book
