CHAPTER 4

Sunlight shined through the leaders den. Leafstars eyes opened and she yawned. She padded out of the den and looked at her deputy Sharpclaw. "Are the rouges still here?" he nodded. Leafstar made her way to the medicine den and saw Echosong sorting through some herbs. "Good morning Leafstar" Echosong mewed. "Good morning Echosong". Echosong led her to the rouges that sat there in silence. "I heard you have something to tell me". The golden she-cat stood up and nodded. "Let me introduce ourselves, im Dawn and that's Oak" she pointed to the brown she-cat. Leafstar nodded. "We came here because we wanted to warn you about this dangerous group of cats, they call themselves Bloodclan". "There's another clan out there?" Dawn nodded. "They have claws the size of dog teeth and they wear collars that contain teeth of all kinds of animals. They killed our brother with a slice to the neck". Leafstars eyes widen as she listened to the rouge. "We heard there was another clan, one that protects cats rather then killing them. We thought we better warn you, those cats killed many and they wont hesitate to kill your cats to". Leafstar nodded. "Thank you for sharing this" Leadstar mewed. She started to go for the entrance but Dawn padded up to her and asked, "Can we stay and live with you? We know how to hunt and fight for ourselves". Leafstar stared at them. She knew Skyclan would be proud to have them, and after what they been through it would be best to stay here were they feel safe. Leafstar nodded and led the cats outside. "Clan meeting!" Leafstar yowled. Cats gathered around the highrock as Leafstar took her place. "I have been informed by these two rouges that there is another clan out there". Shocked yowls broke out from the cats. Leafstar flicked her tail for slience. "They call themselves Bloodclan and they will kill cats for there pleasure. They have sharp claws and a collars lined with animal teeth. The rouges have lost there brother to them and they know what its like to face them". The cats nodded and looked at the rouges. "If you see these cats by our territory come to me immediately". The Skyclan cats mewed their promises. "Before I end this clan meet, these two rouges have requested to join Skyclan. They have told me they know how to hunt and fight for themselves and Skyclan could us some extra paws, so I have chosen to let them stay and become warriors. They will now be known as Dawnfur and Oakstep". The Skyclan cats chanted their names. "Clan meeting dismissed". Sharpclaw yawned and padded to his nest. He drifted into sleep then woke up to a dark place. Stars shined above as Sharpclaw padded around. "Hello Sharpclaw". Sharpclaw leaped back and looked up, facing a grey tom. "I am cloudstar, I used to lead Skyclan before leafstar, and I am here to inform you". Sharpclaw looked at him, "Inform me about what?" "Bloodclan have plans to take over Skyclans home and you need to spy on them". "How?" Sharpclaw looked at him. "You must join them". "No! im not betraying my clan!" Cloudstar shook his head. "You wont be staying there forever, just till you know enough information to help your clan". Suddenly Cloudstar faded away and Sharpclaw woke up in his nest.
