A golden tabby tom with long fur walked over to the shimmering pool. His eyes scanning the small ripples that began to form at the center of the pool. Two other cats, a light gray she cat with a white spot on her side and a black tom, were behind him, following his gaze."Shall we wait for Redstar?" asked the light gray she cat, looking up at him. The former LightningClan leader shook his head. "Redstar won't be attending this meeting. " The she cat looked at him puzzled but it was the black tom that spoke next. "And why not, Goldenstar?" His eyes were beginning to narrow at him. "What is going on? Why the sudden need to call a meeting, without Redstar?"

Goldenstar rested his calm gaze on his former rival, the past SoulClan leader. "Blackstar, this meeting is very important and I would prefer for Redstar to not join us today due to the lack of information I've gathered."

"Information on what?" asked the she cat.

"On the meaning behind what I'm going to show you in a moment, Cloudstar, if Blackstar will let me speak." Blackstar snorted. "I just find it weird that Redstar isn't at this meeting. If he finds out, we'll have serious problems." "He will find out," the former LightningClan leader said with annoyance edging his voice. "Just in a more calm way. I don't want him to see it for himself. You know how we he gets when he sees a threat."

The two cats nodded in understanding.

"Now will you tell us what this meeting is about?" Cloudstar asked. Goldenstar looked up at the sky and said,"Look in there." He pointing to the pool with his tail. The two looked down into the pool. It showed LightningClans nursery with a pale gray queen laying on her nest. It looked like she was about to give birth.

"Goldenstar, i don't see how..."Blackstar was cut off as Goldenstar hissed, "Shh just watch."

A gray kit with black stripes came out but another was on its way. It was a black she kit. She had white paws, a white mark on her chest and icy blue eyes. Blackstar suddenly took a step away from the pool, his eyes were wide. "Th-thats impossible!" His yellow eyes looked from Goldenstar to Cloudstar. "She just like…him."

A low growl sounded from behind. "Goldenstar!"The golden tabby spun around his fur prickling. "Why wasnt I told about this?!"

Goldenstar faced the tom. "Redstar –"

"Answer my question! Why was i not told about this!" "Because i knew you'd react like this," Goldenstar responded. "That does not mean that i shouldn't be informed!" There was a pause as Redstar looked down at the pool, his gaze burning. "The kit," he began. His lips were beginning to curl back in a snarl. "She's the threat, isnt she?"

Goldenstar didn't answer.

"Then it must be destroyed" he growled.

"Redstar is right," Blackstar put in. "If this kit will be a threat to us and the Clans then it has to be destroyed." Redstar gave him a nod of approval. "What do you think, Cloudstar?"

Cloudstar whipped around to both toms, eyes narrowed. "If any of you lay even so much as a whisker on that kit, you'll be dealing with me," she threatened. "She is only a kit and it doesn't matter that she looks like a certain cat that caused much damage to the clans. We have to give her a chance to prove herself before you think anything negative about her."

Redstar glared at her. "Youre mousebrained if you think she will grow up to be just a regular kit. I know she will follow in the pawsteps of him." As he padded away, he said, "It will be all on Cloudstar if anything happens." He turned to Goldenstar. "And yours too. For not doing anything about it. But let me warn you: the moment i see that kit do something, i will take any action i think is necessary to put an end to it." With a final glare he turned and stalked off.

Blackstar looked at Cloudstar and Goldenstar. "You may want to reconsider your opinion. Though rare, Redstars acts of aggression might be quiet reasonable for the best this time," he said and padded away."Never," Cloudstar hissed and watched him go. She turned to Goldenstar. "And you, I thought you were better than this." she gave him a look of shame. "I don't see why you would consider her any danger," she said and stalked off. Goldenstar was left alone in the clearing. He walked over to the pool and looked down at it.

He sighed. "What am I going to do?"
