Sorry, for the long gap between updates. I don't know what happened. Ok, I am sorry that I killed Brambleclaw off; he is one of my most favorite characters!! It just went with the plot.

Please don't be mad at me.

Disclaimer-I do not own Warriors.


"There will be three names that will be forever repeated. One who cares for kin, One who loves for many reasons, and One who will be both of these things; this cat will be as great as you, Firestar. This cat will care for every cat knows about this one. This is the cat that will change ThunderClan forever!"


Chapter 33

Stormcloud was at the back of the group of cats that were going to the Gathering. Firestar had set a quick pace since the Gathering probably started already. The moon was shining bright in the sky as the ThunderClan cats reached the island.

The other three leaders were already sitting on the Great Oak. Firestar jumped up there immediately as Leopardstar was announcing something. "We have to new warriors, Runningstream and Reedfur." Leopardstar growled, "Firestar, why are you so late?"

Firestar didn't seem offended and he had an answer ready. "We had to sort something out before we came."

"What? Is when you are going to execute one of your queens since she murdered one of my warriors, Hawkfrost, to be exact?" Leopardstar challenged. Gasps echoed in the clearing. Stormcloud had had a feeling Leopardstar was going to do something like this. "Yes, it is true! Even more detail is that it is Firestar's granddaughter. She-"

"She didn't murder Hawkfrost, Leopardstar. And to your knowledge Hawkfrost killed his own brother. ThunderClan's warrior, Brambleclaw, is dead!"

"That's a lie!" Leopardstar protested. "Littlewhisker did murder Hawkfrost and Brambleclaw!"

A cloud quickly started to cover the moon, but stopped when Onestar meowed, "Hawkfrost was like his father. He captured one of my warriors as well as Littlewhisker and Goldentail. He took Smokestorm two days ago and she returned saying that Hawkfrost was a murderer."

"Then all three of them are liars!" Leopardstar exclaimed. The moon was about to be covered by the cloud again, but the cloud had grown thicker. The wind had also begun to blow. "Is there anything else you have to say, Firestar?"

"Like I said our warrior, Brambleclaw, has gone to join StarClan. He was a noble warrior and will be remembered by all the Clans for helping bringing us here," Firestar meowed. "His family is grieving tonight."

Leopardstar gave her announcements next. "Like I said Hawkfrost is dead. He has joined StarClan-"

"That's a lie, look at the moon," a cat exclaimed. Stormcloud looked up at where the moon should be. The moon was covered up meaning that what Goldentail said about Hawkfrost being a murderer was right!

The Gathering now ended and Stormcloud turned to wait for Firestar to get ready to leave.

"Stormcloud!"

Stormcloud turned around and saw Crowfeather coming toward her. His eyes had grief for his dead friend. "Yes?"

"How's Littlewhisker?"

Stormcloud sighed. "She's terrible. I heard Cinderpelt say that she refuses to talk to anyone besides Birchfur. She acts like no one is there except Birchfur. I haven't talked to Littlewhisker, though, but Goldentail told me her side of the story."

"How much did she tell you?" Crowfeather asked.

"What do you mean?"

"All Smokestorm said was that Hawkfrost captured them, was a murderer and Littlewhisker killed him," Crowfeather explained.

"I'm sure she has her reasons," Stormcloud meowed.

"Stormcloud!"

Stormcloud closed her eyes and sighed as Tawnypelt came up to her.

"What happened to my brother," she sobbed.

"Crowfeather, WindClan is leaving," Mudspots called.

"I have to go," Crowfeather sighed and bounded over to his son who was in a group of WindClan cats.

"What happened to my brother?" Tawnypelt repeated.

"Just go to the ThunderClan and WindClan border tomorrow at sunhigh," Stormcloud explained. "If you see any ThunderClan cats tell them Littlewhisker gave you permission on ThunderClan territory." Stormcloud saw Firestar with the other ThunderClan cats that had come to the Gathering. "Trust me."

Tawnypelt watched her bound off to the group of ThunderClan cats.
