I know I haven't updated in a while, I have been kinda busy with my other stories because they are almost finished. After the long wait you can read the chapter now.

To Applecloud's Heart-Sorry, I didn't send this to you. I will try to send the next chapter to you. I had finished this Thursday and didn't have time to send it to you. I will definitely send you the next chapter.

Disclaimer-I do not own Warriors.

Chapter 4

"Leafpool!"

Leafpool turned to where the voice calling her and saw Mothwing. "Hi, Mothwing. How are things going in RiverClan?"

"Things are going a lot smoother without Hawkfrost. He was the only one that would speak against Mistyfoot and sometimes speak against Leopardstar."

"Well, I'm glad that your Clan is going back to normal," Leafpool meowed.

"But I think that Leopardstar is going to make a big deal about it to Firestar tonight," Mothwing mewed unsurely, "and I think she going to try to frame Brambleclaw…I mean he was the one who killed Hawkfrost, right?"

"Yes, but he only did it for his Clan," Leafpool mowed pointing out the detail. "Brambleclaw's kin has always come after his Clan."

Before the two medicine cats could say anything else a yowl came from the Great Oak.

"Firestar wishes to speak first," Onestar announced.

"I have appointed a new deputy as you can tell," Firestar announced. "My new deputy is Brambleclaw."

"Firestar, I'm surprised you appointed a new deputy at all, but Brambleclaw has not yet had an apprentice," Blackstar meowed. "He can not possible be accepted by StarClan. And look at his heritage." Yowls of agreement with Blackstar rose through the air.

"Brambleclaw has been proved his loyalty to ThunderClan, Blackstar," Firestar meowed calmly. Leafpool watched, as Brambleclaw sat not saying anything unless something by him needed to be said.

"But he has also murdered his half brother, Firestar," Leopardstar meowed. "If you have him as deputy, then he could turn into a leader like Tigerstar."

"He did not murder Hawkfrost, Leopardstar, he was saving me from being murdered," Firestar shot back. The whole clearing went silent as they listened to what the two Clan leaders were saying. "Hawkfrost had set a trap for me and if Brambleclaw hadn't heard then I wouldn't be here. And even if I had died I would have known that ThunderClan was in good paws."

Leafpool thought she saw Brambleclaw's eyes widen for a moment. Firestar trusts Brambleclaw so much, Leafpool thought.

"So you witnessed one of RiverClan's warriors being killed?" Leopardstar asked, eyes wide. "And you didn't try to stop it?"

"Leopardstar, Hawkfrost had tried to kill me. He was just like his father; he'd do anything for power. If Brambleclaw were like Tigerstar then he would've let Hawkfrost kill me."

"Okay, Firestar, you have that taken care of, but Brambleclaw still hasn't had an apprentice," Blackstar meowed.

"StarClan does approve," Firestar meowed. "And by the next Gathering he will have an apprentice."

All the cats below the leaders dared not say anything against Brambleclaw being deputy because Firestar had an answer for about every question.

Onestar began to announce now. "WindClan is thriving. Prey is running well and I do not have a lot to report. WindClan would also like to congratulate ThunderClan for their new deputy though we will all miss Graystripe."

Onestar turned to Blackstar to hear ShadowClan's news. "Twolegs are still invading ShadowClan territory. Our prey is hiding so we are having some trouble with Twoleg kits. They are running around in our territory and today Tawnypelt was almost killed by them. Fortunately, she is okay and here tonight."

Leopardstar's turn now, "Like I said Hawkfrost was killed by ThunderClan's deputy." She spat out the word deputy and continued. "RiverClan is also facing more trouble with Twolegs. They are throwing Twoleg garbage into the river. We are still managing to find prey, though."

As the Gathering came to an end, Leafpool turned to Mothwing. "Good luck with the Twolegs. I noticed that Willowpaw isn't here. Where is she?"

"She is back in my den. The Twolegs…well…they hurt her. She was in an accident. She was hit by an monster when we were out collecting herbs," Mothwing meowed sadly.

Leafpool listened in horror. "Is she okay?"

"She's unconscious right now. Mosspelt (a/n-I think that's Willowpaw's mother) is watching her while I'm gone," Mothwing explained.

Just like Cinderpelt, Leafpool thought. "Well, I hope she will be okay."

Mothwing nodded and padded off to join her Clan. Leafpool watched her padded off and realized that someone was beside her. She turned and saw Squirrelflight beside her.

"Hey, Squirrelflight," Leafpool sighed turning toward where their Clan was waiting.

"What's wrong?" Squirrelflight asked her sister.

"Mothwing said that Willowpaw was hit by a Twoleg monster. Right now she's unconscious."

"Oh, Leafpool, I'm sorry," Squirrelflight meowed. "I know that it reminds you of Cinderpelt."

Leafpool just nodded.

"Come on, let's head back to camp," Squirrelflight meowed.

Ok, I know not a lot happened in this chapter, but the next chapter will be better. A lot will happen in the next chapter, and I'm not sure if I will update next Friday or in 2 weeks. Depends when I get the chapter done. Review please!!!
