YAY! The final chapter has finally arrived!! Thanks to all my reviewers on this story!! And don't forget to review this chapter!! I didn't get as many reviews as I wanted, but I know people are eager for this chapter. If you read the last chapter and didn't review it please go back and review it and review this chapter.

ALso, the reason that this chapter is named Chapter 27-The end of the beginning is because this is the last chapter of the first story of the series. Make sense?

Disclaimer-I do not own Warriors, but I do own this completed story, the sequel, and all of my characters.

Chapter 27

After what had happened to her she didn't want to repeat it with another Clan.

"Onestar was right. RiverClan has been in our territory," Littlewhisker hissed.

"Lets get our prey and go tell Firestar," Birchfur meowed.

Littlewhisker nodded and followed him.

They arrived at camp, put their fresh-kill in the pile, and rushed over to where Firestar and Sandstorm were sharing tongues. "Firestar," Birchfur began.

"Yes?"

"We scented RiverClan in our territory," Littlewhisker explained.

"Have you seen any warriors?" Firestar asked standing up.

"No, but we scented them and it was fresh," Birchfur added.

"What are they doing in ThunderClan territory?" Sandstorm meowed half to herself.

"We aren't the only ones. We were hunting by WindClan and we ran into Onestar, Crowfeather, and Weaselfur. The said that they've been scenting RiverClan and Onestar told us to warn you about RiverClan," Littlewhisker continued.

"Thanks for telling me," Firestar meowed. "Birchfur, Littlewhisker, I want you both to come to the Gathering tonight. I know it's not wise to take you, Littlewhisker, but the other Clans might need proof that you're alive and in ThunderClan."

"Thank you, Firestar," Littlewhisker meowed bounding off to join Birchfur, Goldentail, and Stormcloud with some fresh-kill.

Firestar yowled for the cats going to the Gathering at the entrance of the camp. "Don't forget that you're going to tell me everything that happens," Goldentail reminded Littlewhisker, Birchfur, and Stormcloud.

"Okay, we won't listen to what the leaders are saying and we'll gossip," Littlewhisker meowed sarcastically. "Of course we'll be paying attention, you stupid furball!"

Littlewhisker followed Firestar out of the camp and into WindClan territory. They climbed up through the hills and onto the fallen tree until they reached the island.

"Littlewhisker!" Littlewhisker turned around as Crowfeather came up to her. "What happened to your side?"

"A fox had come and I saved Birchfur. That's how I got that," Littlewhisker explained.

"How did you save Birchfur if you were captured?"

Littlewhisker sighed and explained everything, her plan, the attack on ThunderClan, the fox, and going back to ShadowClan, in a low voice.

"I would only know you to think of something like that," Crowfeather meowed sounding impressed.

"How are Smokekit and Mudkit?" Littlewhisker asked.

"Fine, they're apprentices now. They've been apprentices for two moons," Crowfeather meowed.

"Littlewhisker, have you seen Stormcloud?" Cinderfoot panted running up to her and Crowfeather. "How's your side doing?"

Littlewhisker thought carefully before she answered. "No, I haven't seen Stormcloud and my side is doing better. How do you know Stormcloud got her warrior name? She just got it."

"I've seen her and she told me," Cinderfoot explained. "'Bye!" Cinderfoot dashed off.

A yowl came from the Great Oak. At that moment Littlewhisker went to find Birchfur. She spotted his familiar gray pelt and ran over to him.

"Onestar would like to speak first," Leopardstar announced.

"For the past moon WindClan has scented RiverClan in our territory," Onestar announced. Yowls against that rang through out the clearing. "It is the truth!"

"Onestar, my warriors haven't been in your territory," Leopardstar growled.

That must have been everything because Onestar nodded to Firestar who spoke up.

"Two of my warriors have also scented RiverClan in our territory," Firestar yowled. "ThunderClan's warrior, Littlewhisker, has returned."

More yowls echoed.

"She can't be; she's dead!"

"Why let her?"

Firestar now yowled for silence and nodded to Littlewhisker. She stood up. "I am as live as you all are!"

"Firestar, ShadowClan wants one of their best warriors back," Blackstar growled.

Littlewhisker answered for Firestar. "I'm not a ShadowClan warrior; I never was."

"You are a ShadowClan-"

"The moon!" Some cat yowled. Littlewhisker looked up and saw that the moon was covered up. Firestar was the first leader to jump down and his warriors followed.

"Goldentail is going to enjoy this," Stormcloud meowed joining Littlewhisker and Birchfur.

"Cinderfoot was looking for you. Did he find you?" Littlewhisker asked.

Stormcloud looked a little embarrassed and replied, "Oh, yeah."

I felt like leaving you wonder. Did it work? What did you think of this story? Is it worthy of a sequel? The sequel will be posted soon!!! Review and I will post it quicker!!! Remember: the sequel is called: "Our Life: Friends Forever."
Just so you know, the RiverClan scenting thing will make more sense once the sequel is out. It actually has something to do with the sequel!
