Chapter 2

"ATTACK!" the battle cry sent a chill through my spine. The cats on the rocks that once were amazing now turned into our worst nightmare. I heard skykit softly crying behind me. Amberkit still had a look of confidence on her face. The confidence quickly turned to fear. The cat that had revealed us leaped at amberkit who quickly dodged the blow. Another cat that must have been an apprentice aimed a blow at me. I tried to blow back, but I was too small to aim right. I backed up and ran to the safety of a bush. I watched the fighting as my sisters followed me into the small shelter. We didn't think a battle would start here, because starclan had made this a sacred place.

"STOP!" a voice sounded over the battling cats. Every cat looked up to the rocks where a flame colored cat stood.

"Have any of you realized that this battle at fourtrees has made starclan angry? Look at the sky!" every cat looked to the sky now; the moon was covered up by clouds. And the twinkling stars had vanished.

"Firestar's right." A thunderclan warrior spoke.

"The night of the full moon is the night of truce!" a riverclan warrior announced.

"We must welcome these cats. Have you all even noticed they are just kits?" The windclan leader spoke.

"Whatever." The shadowclan leader said bitterly.

"So, are you rogues, or part of a clan?" firestar continued. My sisters and I looked at each other, not knowing how to respond to the thunderclan leader's question.

"We… are, um rogues." At least I thought we were.

"What are your names?" now the thunderclan leader seemed to be interrogating us.

"I am amberkit; these are my sisters skykit and blossomkit." I heard cats whisper to each other, but what were they whispering about?

"They have clan names," the riverclan leader said to firestar.

"Why, how?" the windclan leader questioned.

"Trust me leopardstar, and you too Tallstar." Firestar told them.

"Who is your mother and father?" firestar was asking us questions again.

"I-I don't know." I told him. Firestar's face was suddenly full of surprise.

"The gathering is over." He told the cats. Then he turned to us.

"Go home." Our hearts sank as all the cats left. This night was a disaster. I looked to the sky, the moon was still covered. But silverpelt still glittered and shone.

Please, I know it wasn't our job. But please, give us a chance!
