The two she-cats spun around, the cream-colored one stepped forward, "And who are you?" she questioned. Shadow let out a low growl, and before she could respond a shaggy gray tom appeared with a fat rabbit in his jaws.

He dropped the rabbit, "Wind, who are they" He meowed, his voice shaking. Thunder placed his ginger tail in front of Shadow, "I am Thunder and this is Shadow"

Shadow growled, and puffed. The small, wiry she-cat meowed, "I'm Wind, this is Heather and Gorse" She meowed, "I recognize you two...from the pond"

Thunder nodded, "Wind, you and your friends can stay with us under these four trees we found." Wind hesitated, and Heather whispered something into her ear.

Eventually they agreed to come, Shadow keep her eyes on the newcomers. Thunder padded up to her, "You don't have to be so tense" He meowed, She shoot a glance, "I've lived alone my whole life! Now I'm suppose to trust a bunch a strange cats I don't even know!"

Thunder felt guilty inside, and lead the cats back to Four Trees. Fox and Drizzle perched up when they arrived, but three other cats where with them. Thunder looked at the cats, a large silver tom, a pale golden she-cat, and a small golden kit hiding behind her paws. He gave them a glance, but they just shrugged, and flick a tail toward Heather, Wind, and Gorse.

Shadow growled at the strange new cats, and stalked to her den; under the ledge. The silver tom's blue eye's lit up, when he arrived. Thunder instantly recognized him from the pond. Finally, everyone has arrived. He smiled, dipping his head, and gathered the cats under the ledge. He climbed up onto the ledge, "Greetings" He meowed, "I'm Thunder, I arrived here with my brother, Fox, and his mate Drizzle." He smiled, and flicked his tail toward Wind, and the silver tom to come upon the ledge.

They exchanged confused glances, but climbed toward Thunder. Wind stepped forward, "I'm Wind" She meowed, confusion edged her voice. "I arrived here with my mate, Gorse, and sister, Heather" She backed down, to let the silver tom speak.

He stepped forward, his thick gray fur moved side to side, as he walked up, "I am River" He meowed, his voice was low, and stern. "I arrived here with my mate, Sandy, and son, Blaze" Thunder noticed the shy tom step between his mother's leg, chest puffed with pride. Thunder step forward again, "As you know I'm Thunder, and I speak for Shadow, she was the first the arrive here." He meowed, and dipped his head toward River, "It's a pleasure to met you" The thick tom dipped too, "And you too" He meowed.

The three cats stepped down, and gathered in a small circle. "We were sent here for a reason" Wind was the first to speak.

"By Rock!" River added, Thunder nodded his head, "I think we must form a group" He meowed looking at the small pack of cats.

Fox stepped forward, "Maybe," He looked at his brother, "Just maybe, the four of you are supposed to form your own groups, or clans" He meowed, the small crowd nodded in agreement. Heather stood up, "Each cat takes a territory" She meowed, swishing her tail toward the heather, then the pine forest, then the land across a lake, then the forest.

Thunder nodded and place a tail on Heather's shoulder. "I'll take the forest" He meowed, River lifted his head "I'll that the land across the lake" Before Wind could call her territory, a familiar voice spoke, "I'll take the pine forest" Thunder looked up to see Shadow, the battle-scarred she-cat plucked herself down between Heather and Drizzle.

Wind shrugged, "I was going to call the heather anyways" She mumbled, Sandy lifted her head, "And maybe we could find more cats, and have a gathering to see which cat will join which clan." River nodded in agreement.

Blaze stepped into the middle of the cats, "And each clan can have ranks" Drizzle lowered to the kits level.

"What do you mean by ranks" She meowed in a sweet voice. Blaze looked at his paws as he continued, "Like my daddy will be the leader, and then my mommy will be the deputy" He meowed, in his small kit voice, "And someone cat be the medicine cat, and there can be warriors!" He yowled, then started to pounce around. Sandy wrapped her long tail around her hyper kit, "Please continue, Blaze"

Blaze nodded, "And there can be warriors in training, and when the she-cat warriors are having kits, they can be queens" He started to push the sand around with his small paws, he looked up to see the group of cats staring at him surprised. "What?" He demanded.

Thunder lowered onto the kits' level, "I think you just made a clan" He announced, Blaze tilted his head, "What do you mean?" Thunder purred, "Your ideas, about the warriors, and queens. They might actually help us"

Shadow nodded, "I hate to say this. but the kits' right." She stood taller, "His ideas make sense, and are pretty smart too" The cats murmured in agreement. River wrapped his fluffy tail around Blaze "That's my son" He purred. Blaze looked up, "And when the warriors retire, they become elders" He meowed, concluded his brilliant idea.

Thunder looked at the falling son, and knew that tomorrow would be the day. "Okay, tomorrow, we'll each go separate ways to fins cats to join your clans. Once we have enough, we'll give them a choice to join the clan that suits them best." Every cat agreed, and settled down with the families. Thunder laid next to Fox, but no matter how hard he tried to fall asleep, he couldn't. He looked at the stars, and saw a massive starry cat, "Hello Thunder" it purred.
