The hot weather has gotten even hotter! Now it's about 92 degrees, not just 90!

Ouch!

Anyway, Firefrost has recovered completely, and it's time for a Gathering that will change everything....

Firefrost followed Bluestar down the hill into Fourtrees, with ThunderClan's warriors running down behind him as the Clan arrived for the Gathering. Bluestar jumped up on the Highrock, and Tigerstar, the ShadowClan leader, called the meeting to order.

"Bluestar, would you like to go first?" Tigerstar asked.

Bluestar didn't reply, or even look at him. "Whitestorm is dead."

The cats murmured to each other, grief passing through them.

"Our new deputy is Firefrost," Bluestar told them, looking down at the flame-colored cat. Firefrost looked at his paws, feeling uncomfortable as every cat turned to look at him.

Bluestar didn't say anymore, just stepping back as Tigerstar took her place.

"Cats of all Clans, a terrible fate is upon us!" Tigerstar began.

Firefrost narrowed his eyes at the ShadowClan leader. This treacherous cat had recently tried to destroy ThunderClan, but Tigerstar was still his father. The ThunderClan deputy didn't know what to think about him.

"Prey has been disappearing, and Twolegs are moving in on our territory. Many natural disasters have occurred, such as floods and fires. When leaf-fall ends, and prey becomes more scarce than ever, our situation will only get worse."

What're you trying to say? Firefrost thought.

"Alone, each Clan might not be able to face these challenges. Together, we will thrive! We must unite as one Clan!"

Firefrost saw many ThunderClan cats glare at Tigerstar, Bluestar included. They don't believe a word he's saying. What about me? Do I want to join him?

"WindClan will join you," Tallstar replied. "I believe this would be best for our Clans."

"What about RiverClan and ThunderClan?" Tigerstar asked.

"I'll consider it," Leopardstar mewed.

"Never," Bluestar spat.

Suddenly, a thunderstorm broke out.

"A sign! StarClan has ShadowClan's favor!" Tigerstar yowled, and the ShadowClan leader left with ShadowClan, Tallstar not too far behind with WindClan.

If RiverClan joins, nothing will stop my father Firefrost thought.

So, what will Firefrost decide? How will Bluestar die? Where will BloodClan come in? Why has WindClan joined Tigerstar? Will RiverClan join Tigerstar's Clan? What will happen with Tigerstar's kits?

What're your opinions? I've thought out some of these, but nothing is definite.

Until next time, my friends.
