Chapter 8: The Strength of a Leopard and the will of the Eagle.

"Hi Momo here again, I would just like to say thanks to Everyusernameistaken, because he is the only one who reviewed!! Anyways this chapter will have more action I promise, all you got to now is read it.

(Goldpaw) Well they could if you would stop your author's note.

……. Fine, This starts out as Goldenclaw's point of view and I do not own warriors."

"What happened?" Was the only thing I could hear the other cats say as we past by them.

Cloudpaw was standing near Snowpaw when he saw us. He darted over to his mother, whom I and Spiritpath were carrying. Destinystrike was be supported by our medicine cat Poppypelt. Cloudpaw darted over to us and so did Mapplepaw. "Rainpaw what happened?" Mapplepaw shrieked.

Rainpaw didn't say anything, he looked petrified.

Cloudpaw stayed silent, but worry filled his eyes too as he looked from his mother to his father. Destinystrike limped over to his kids and meowed. "Smallone will be fine, don't worry."

Rainstar came running over too. "Destinystrike what happened?" She asked, and she was like the 50th cat to asked that question.

"A ambush of cats came and attacked me and Smallone while we were hunting, there scent was mixed with WindClan and ShadowClan scent." Destinystrike meowed.

I saw Firepaw and Goldpaw exchange nervous glances. Rainstar seemed confused, and she headed toward High rock. She leapt on top and the clan was already waiting to hear what she had to say. Even Echostar was waiting to hear with her clan.

"It seems that ShadowClan and WindClan have formed an alliance." She meowed.

An uproar of chatter came from the cats bellow, and Rainstar had to yowl to get back their attention. "How do you know they are in a alliance?" Thunderstorm challenged.

"Because, the next morning after our fight with Windclan, Firepaw and Goldpaw told me they saw Posionfang on our territory during the fight." Rainstar answered. The clan returned to their uproar, and again Rainstar yowled. "As you know the Gathering is tonight, we will go and address this problem."

"What happens if they attack us at the gathering?" Sparkle pelt said nervously.

"Hopefully they won't." Rainstar answered flatly.

"Rainstar, if I could say something?" Echostar said.

Rainstar turned her attention, to the skyClan leader. "Yes?" She questioned.

"We would like to help you with this cause, so we can prove that we are not against you. Plus last gathering Sonicstar called me fat." Echostar meowed.

"Rainstar nodded. "We would be honored." The whole clan yowled in agreement. "These are the cats going to the gathering. Thunderstorm, Brightfaith, Silverfang (A silver tom), Eaglestrike, Goldpaw, and Snowpaw.

Echostar's group of cats are: Owlpelt, Hoppingfrog, (Hoppingfrog is a sand colored tom with huge bright green eyes.) Sagefire, (A red colored tom with white specks of fur.) Leaffoot, (A Turtle shell queen with brown paws.) Firepaw and Mistypaw.

(Snowpaw's point of view.)

We got to the gathering, and my stupid, mouse brained brother, looked ready for anything. I didn't really care about that, I knew what I had to do, tonight would be the start of a empire. I walked and took a seat near a couple Riverclan apprentices. I wasn't really interested in there stupid stories, I was waiting to hear the paw steps of my destiny unfolding.

(Echostar's point of view.)

"Where is ShadowClan and WindClan?" I asked Wavestar as Rainstar and I approached the RiverClan leader.

"I don't know." She said flatly.

Wavestar sounded agitated, so I didn't press the matter any further. "Hopefully Sonicstar choked on a bone or fell off a cliff." Rainstar stated.

Wavestar gave a small purr, we sat in total silence, for the next few minutes and then we heard paw steps.

Poisonfang was leading ShadowClan, and Sonicstar was beside him. Poisonfang and Sonicstar jumped on the high rock and yowled. "I'll start since I'm not staying long." Poisonfang meowed. "Darkstar died yesterday, and now I Poisonstar have taken over, and I offically joined the war against ThunderClan."

I looked at Rainstar, her eyes were big, but other then that there was no reaction. I stepped up and said. "Well so have I, but I'm on ThunderClan's side."

"Then how about we start now." Poisonstar hissed. He attacked me, and I hit the ground hard. I let out a squeal of surprise. Rainstar ran over to help, but Sonicstar stepped in the way.

"Where do you think you're going?" Sonicstar asked amusement flashed through his eyes.

I tried kicking Poisonstar off, but he was just to heavy. The next thing I know I see a white blur flash across my eyes. I saw Snowpaw, he attacked Poisonstar and was now wrestling the cat on the ground. Wavestar got in the middle and broke them up. "We can't fight during a Gathering!" She growled.

"Fine." Sonicstar growled.

He signaled his clan to follow and left.

Poisonfang followed, and Wavestar came over to me. "I don't like this." She said.

"Me niether." I sighed.

"So who side are you on?" Firepaw asked Wavestar.

"I'm not getting in the middle of this." She said flatly and left with her clan.

(Goldpaw's point of view.)

We headed back to camp, and I was feeling uneasy. So was my mentor. He had his ears flat on his head, and he seemed lost in thought.

We got back to camp and Rainstar headed to high rock. The clan was already there. "ShadowClan has joined WindClan like I thought, so we need more warriors to strengthen our forces. Echostar and I have agreed to make two apprentices warriors. Goldpaw and Snowpaw will you please come forward."

My brother and I walked up to high rock. I was really nervous. "Goldpaw and Snowpaw, you both show what it means to be a real warrior. Will you two hold up the warrior name with honor and respect, and keep our clan safe even at the cost of your own life?"

"I will." We both said together.

"Then from now on Snowpaw you will be known as Snowleopard, and Goldpaw you will be known as Goldeagle."

I felt really proud, and my friends Firepaw, now known as Firestone, and Mistypaw now known as Mistyspring were really excited too. Now no matter what happened I knew we would be ready for it.

(Well that's the end of Chapter 8, I hope you enjoyed it. Please leave comments…. I have been asking people to leave comments and I don't get any and then it makes me sad. (Honestly, you could tell me the story was terrible and I would still be happy because at least you took the time to review.) Well I hope you have a good week and I will update as soon as I can.)
