Chapter 8

Falconclaw! He..he was alive! Dawnstream had meant to slash Falconclaws bely slightly when she accidentally slashed his neck!

"Nightfall!" Dawnstream cried. "Look, Falconclaw! He's alive! He didn't die!" she whispered.

Nightfall looked at him and his eyes widened. "It's not possible! He wasn't breathing then!"

Suddenly, he looked at the couple and smiled. He mouthed "Watch Out".

Fishstar got up the rock and yowled."Let the Gathering begin!"

Clawstar clawed his way up the other rock, which was crumbly. Fishstar started first.

"WaterClan prey is running well but the weather is getting colder and colder. Leaf-fall is here already, and I believe this will be a very cold leaf-bare. We have a new queen, Goldfur. And two new warriors, Flymyth and Spider-eye."

Everyone called out their names. "Fly-myth! Spider-eye! Fly-myth! Spider-eye!"

Fishstar dipped his head and continued. "And our good senior warrior is now retired, Raintail has served her clan very well!"

After Fishstar, Clawstar started speaking. " EarthClan prey is going good, and Fishstar I agree. The wind is getting cold. Some of us don't have thick coats, so we get cold. We had a battle with FireClan because they passed our borders! And… we found one of our warriors throats slashed by a FireClan warrior. Luckily, our warrior, Falconclaw survived this attack!"

Murmers passed by the clans and Clawstar continued. " However, Falconclaw doesn't remember who attacked him. During the battle, one of ehem-your queens bit into Smallfangs throat, our great warrior and got seriously injured. She has died because she lost too much blood. Well FireClan, do you have anything to say for yourselves?" he hissed.

"Oh, no! She died?" Dawnstream burst out loud. Everyone looked at her and she nodded. " I bit her throat! You know why? Because she was going to steal our kits! She was clawing my shoulder and I caught her neck. I did it forour precious kits, and I believe that any other warrior would do the same!" she spoke up, loud enough for everyone to hear.

Everyone gasped when they heard it and Clawstar jumped down. "We weren't going to steal kits!"

Dawnstream took a step forward. "That's what Smallfang's last words were to me!" she hissed. Clawstar shook his head.

"She probably said that to scare you!"

Dawnstream stiffened." Then why else would she have come into the nursery?" she challenged.

Clawstar leaped at her pinning her to the ground. She flipped him off with her hind legs the way she did with Falconclaw. "Clawstar! Don't you teach… oh wait! You're the leader aren't you? You broke the truce, so don't you teach yourself about the truce?" she spat. "Attack me one more time, ever again! And I will claw your ears off!" she threatened. She was pregnant, which made this even worse.

"Enough! Clawstar, you broke the truce! Stay back!" Echostar yelled. She looked up. The full moon was clear, and no clouds were covering it.

"StarClan hasn't said anything—yet, Dawnstream please calm down."

"Anyway, FireClan hasn't crossed your border nor attacked your warrior. We have four new warriors, Crowfoot, Dawnstream, Flamestorm and Flowerstreak!"

All the clans cheered except for EarthClan.

"Prey is running great and Leaf-fall has brought us four healthy kits! Stripekit, Bluekit, Longkit and Sweetkit! After our last gathering, we had two new apprentices Briarpaw and Lightpaw! We have a new queen, that is expecting kits. Dawnstream! "

Falconclaw's eyes widened when he heard it. "How fast?" he whispered under his breath.

"And our elder, Brokenclaw has died of oldness. He has served this clan so well. We found him coming into my den with blood in his mouth. So it looked like a painful death. Breezepool, our medicine cat thinks it is a heart attack. We wish Brokenclaw a good life in StarClan! That's all!"

Everyone was shocked at FireClan's progress, new warriors and new kits and expecting kits and new apprentices!

"Thank you, Echostar!" Shortstar dipped his head. " AirClan has three new warriors and four apprentices! Petalglow, Cherrytongue! Heavypaw, Bluepaw, Rockpaw and Glowpaw! Prey is great in AirClan! Rabbits running everywhere! As you can see! That's all for AirClan!"

"The gathering is over!" Fishstar called.

All of the clans left as they heard yowls. Home waited for juicy gossip and everyone was waiting impatiently. Dawnstream was tired and expected Greyfeather to wait for her. Instead she was asleep with her kits sleeping with her.

She rested in her sleep hoping her dream would be catching a juicy mouse, but to her surprise Thrushkit and another kit appeared.

"Hi, Dawnstream! This is Meadowkit! We both watched you at the gathering. Clawstar isn't the greatest leader of all times. I'll tell you that."

Dawnstream greeted them. "How come you're here?"

Meadowkit stepped forward. "Dawnstream, your kits. We want to be your kits, I want to see my mother even if I don't know it's her. I miss her warm belly…" she trailed off in sobs.

Thrushkit silenced her. "Meadowkit! You promised we weren't going to tell her this. She'll want her own kits, not us."

Dawnstream shook her head, "No! I'd like you to be my kits and live once again! It's a great thing when you get a second chance to live…"

Meadowkit dipped her head. "Thank you! I'm not sure what the other StarClan cats would say though…"
