Snowflower padded back to camp and found out that Barkstar had left camp. Snowflower went over to Pounceheart who was with Thorntail.

"Where is Barkstar?"

"She left RiverClan and she said whoever wants to lead RiverClan they may."

"Why don't you go up there Snowflower? Thta is what you and Mistcloud where talking about." Pebbleheart meowed.

"And I will take you to the Moonstone!" Mewed Thorntail,sounding pleased.

Snowflower went on Highrock ready to adress the clan. "As most of you know, Barkstar left. I will lead RiverClan for now on if no cat does."

"Snowflower! Snowflower!" Chanted all of RiverClan.

She seemed pleased and continued. "This moment can not wait until later, Snowkit is ready to become on apprentice. Come forward Snowkit." The white tom padded forward and she continued. "Snowpaw will be an apprentice to me. I will train Snowpaw."

"Snowpaw! Snowpaw! Snowpaw!" The clan chanted once more and Snowflower went over to Thorntail.

The medicine cat looked up and meowed,"Ready?"


The cave of the Moonstone was all dark except of the glowing rock in front of them. This will be the moment she will officially be RiverClan's leader.

"We can't waste time Snowflower." Thorntail meowed before she touched the stone.

In front of her was Mistcloud. Seeing her ian StarClan had shocked her.

"Why are you here? What happened in ThunderClan?" Snowflower whispered to her sister.

Instead of answering her question,Mistcloud gave Snowflower her first life. "With this life I give you Bravery."Mistcloud dipped her head.

The next two cats were RiverClan apprentices long ago. They gave her the lives of determination and hope.

The StarClan cats kept on until the last cat, Bramblestar, "With this life I give you Patience. Welcome Snowstar. Lead you clan well."

All the cats disappeared except for Mistcloud."One last thing. Cloudstar is no more. I was a fool to love him when all he loved was battle and taking away cats lives. Bring my kits back."After that she disappeared.


Once they got back to camp, Snowstar called the Clan. "RiverClan, I have my nine lives and I will make sure I will lead you all like Barkstar should have."

"Snowstar! Snowstar!"

"Pebbleheart,will you be my deputy."

Pebbleheart nodded. Snowflower had to pick her mate. He is the one she trusts most.

Snowstar hopped down beside him. "Grab Snowpaw. The three of us will take a visit to ThunderClan."

The two toms came over to her and they went off and into ThunderClan territory.

Surprisingly, the cats in ThunderClan weren't being hostile at all. She found Flowey padding up to them."Welcome Snowflower,"

"It is Snowstar actually," Snowstar purred.

"Well, I am ThunderClan's leader, Flowerstar."

"I am here to take back Riverkit and Cloudkit. They belong in RiverClan."

Flowerstar grabbed the two and the two kits went to her side.

"They are your kin, so it makes sense that they belong with you."Flowerstar meowed.
