Leafstar woke up and knew that today was the day when the daylight warriors would choose to leave or stay. She braced herself and told herself that no matter what happened she wouldn't interfere with their decisions. She also braced herself with getting ready to leave the home she loved the next day. Billystorm was waiting for her outside they touched noses and twined their tails for a second.

Firepaw, Stormpaw, and Harrypaw doing their apprentice chores around the clearing. She was so proud of her kits they were becoming fine warriors. Leafstar saw Sharpclaw surrounded by a group of cats he was setting up patrols. She was very glad that she had such a great deputy. When all the cats left the clearing she decided she wanted to explore the forest one last time before she left.

She loved the breeze in her face as she jumped through the trees. She tried not to travel far though because the monsters were tearing the trees down. She felt a pang of sadness knowing that she wouldn't be able to hear the birds chirping in the trees and the joy of watching the apprentices learn how to jump from tree branch to tree branch. She would miss those memories here, but this new home would bring along new memories to love and cherish.

Leafstar walked back to camp. All the warriors were gathered in the clearing including the daylight warriors. This was the time when the daylight warriors would choose where they wanted to stay.

"Skyclan, we all know that we must leave soon, therefore the daylight warriors must choose where they stand." Leafstar said her voice echoing around the clearing.

She pointed her head to where the daylight warriors were gathering in a corner. "Ebonyclaw, do you want to leave or stay?"

Ebonyclaw's green eyes were bright with defiance. She said, "I am going no where. I'm staying here with Skyclan."

Leafstar was pleased to hear this. Ebonyclaw was a good and strong warrior and she was glad to have her. "Thank you, Ebonyclaw. I know this was a tough decision for you to make," Leafstar said and dipped her head. "Frecklewish, do you wish to leave or stay?"

Frecklewish looked at Leafstar and then at Echosong her eyes full of sadness. So glanced back at Leafstar again and said, "As bad as I want to be a medicine cat for Skyclan I can't leave my Twolegs. I'm sorry." Frecklewish said. "Thank you, Echosong for teaching me. I really enjoyed it and I'll miss you. All of you." Frecklewish dipped her head to her former Clanmates and sat back down.

Echosong strode forward and told Frecklewish, "You're welcome. I will miss you to. You would have made a great medicine cat." She licked Frecklewish in farewell and sat back in her place.

Leafstar was shocked to see such a great medicine cat go, but reminded herself that she wouldn't interfere. "You will be missed, Frecklewish. May Starclan be with you." Leafstar said as Frecklewish got up to leave. "Harveymoon, do you wish to leave or stay?"

Harveymoon had a look of regret in his eyes as he said, "I can't stay. My Twolegs need me. I enjoyed being a part of Skyclan, but I just don't belong here."

Mintfur got up and walked over to Harveymoon. She leaned her head against his chest and Leafstar barely heard what she said. "Harveymoon, I love you. Please don't go." Mintfur's voice was starting to choke as she said this.

Harveymoon looked sadly into his mate's eyes. "I love you to, but I just don't think I can leave here. I'll miss you." Harveymoon said then he licked her ear. He looked one last time at his mate before leaving.

Leafstar was sad that she was losing a good warrior, but she was crestfallen for what Mintfur was going through right now. Harveymoon may not have been the best, but he was still a noble warrior. "The Clan regrets that you have chosen to leave, but your service is honored." Leafstar said dipping her head. "Macgyver, do you wish to leave or stay?"

Macgyver was nervous, but he said, "I choose to stay. I know I mess things up, but there is so much I can still learn especially with threats from the other Clans."

Leafstar was pleased to hear that Macgyver chose to stay. He seemed genuine about what he said about learning more so she decided to give a chance to prove what a great warrior he could become. "Thank you, Macgyver. I'm glad to hear you choose to stay." Leafstar said.

The clearing was deadly silent. The cats were looking at Leafstar expectantly. She knew they were waiting for her to close the meeting. Leafstar announced, "I am deeply saddened for the loss of some of our daylight warriors, but we have a big day tomorrow. We must leave the Twolegs keep getting closer and closer to the camp and I feel that the camp is no longer a safe place. So get some rest we have a lot of traveling to do in order to reach the Lake. I call this meeting to an end." Leafstar jumped off the rock and headed to her nest.

She hoped she lead her Clan safely to their destination. She had so many worries about what would happen on the way. She hoped that Thunderclan would help her when the Clan got to the Lake, besides if Thunderclan was anything like Firestar, himself then she knew they would.

She got comfortable in her nest and closed her eyes. Tomorrow is going to be a long day, she thought.
