"So, how many clans will we have? Seven?" Mudpaw asked the cat. Flower slowly nodded. "There is enough land, right?" She asked.
Adderpaw smiled. "The moonpool, area around WhiteClan, the Island, and the free valley that borders WhiteClan and BerryClan." She said.
Mudpaw looked at his mate. "Then were will the gatherings be?" He asked. Adderpaw smiled. "The deserted old Twolegs Place." She purred in delight.
Flower smiled. "Alright. But I think we might have only four, because most of the cats want to stay here." She sadly sighed.
"Can I go get Nightkit and Skykit?" The small white apprentice asked. The black she-cat nodded while her green eyes blinked. Hopepaw ran across the Thunderpath quickly smiled to the others.
"I wonder what there kittypet name is. Hopefully it is cute." Hopepaw said to herself as she walked on the the sidewalk. She jumped onto the soft grass. She started to roll in it, and then she stood up. "No time for games. This is a mission." She said.
The small cat licked her fur to get the grass of then walked to the steps, and she jumped onto each one slowly, then went through the cat door.
She noticed a gray cat and a brown cat playing. The gray one turned. "Who are you? Probably one Midnight's new kits." He said. Hopepaw smiled. "I am Hopepaw, an apprentice. I heard that you two were kits before, and I wanted to know if you'd like to join a new clan." She asked.
The gray one smiled. "I am Smoke, and this is Chocolate. Yes, I'd love to be an apprentice in this new clan." Smoke said. Chocolate nodded. "Me too." He said.
Hopepaw turned around and walked away with the two toms next to her. "Race you to Flower!" She shouted. They all started charging off, and ended up there at the same time.
"I can go ask Leafdapple and Midnight." Adderpaw requested. "And I could ask Midnight about her mate and the kits." Mudpaw added. "And I could go get Ivytail and Frostshadow. While you were gone Flower told me where they were." Flowerpaw said.
"What about Jayfeather?" Hopepaw asked.
Flowerpaw and Flower looked down sadly. "Dead." Hopepaw heard Flower whisper.
Hopepaw sadly looked at her. "I am sorry." She whispered. Flower looked up and nodded. "Just go get the other cats, we'll have enough.
