Hey! I'm back. I went away over the weekend, so I couldn't update. I have no school this week, though, so I will update a lot! I already have the next chapter completed, and as soon as I get one review, I will post it. Otherwise, it will be after noon tomorrow. (My time so it might be different where you are.)

I am hoping for the story to be between 30 and 40 chapters but I don't really know. It depends on how the story goes.

Hey, everyone, just FYI, I love story recommendations, so if you have any, feel free to review and tell me!

On with the show!

Chapter 14: Featherbreeze

In the moons following the first few meetings, almost no progress was made. Very few other cats came and no cat had any ideas. New leaf was beginning and it rained almost every day. The river was swollen and the apprentices had been banned from going near the borders.

Now, Featherbreeze leaned down to lap at the river, something for which she was sure she would be punished. They were having another meeting tonight, and the gray tabby she-cat was not looking forward to it. After all, they were hardly going to change anything! Those meetings are a waste of time. We can't save the clans like this.

"Featherbreeze!" Featherbreeze leaped back from the stream in time to see Hollypaw race towards her.

"What?" Featherbreeze asked.

"You're supposed to take me fishing in the lake," the young cat announced, jumping excitedly.

"Who told you that?" Featherbreeze sighed, smoothing down the fur on her shoulder.

"Thunderstrike," Hollypaw replied with an innocent look in her eyes.

"Really? And where is your mentor?" Thunderstrike would never choose me to teach an apprentice how to fish!

"Um… on patrol," Hollypaw's green eyes flickered to the side. She's lying.

"Nice try," Featherbreeze snorted. "I'm not taking you fishing unless I can go make sure Thunderstrike said to."

"Oh, no, that's okay, I'll just tell him you were busy," the apprentice muttered and ran back into the woods.

…

Featherbreeze stared at the gathered cats. Streamfern, Squirrelfall, Swiftlake, Stempaw, Blossomleap, her kits who were now apprentices, Darkspots, Firespring, her kits, Silverriver, her kits, and Stormshade. Except for Darkspots, no new cats. Ugh!

"Featherbreeze, Firespring has an announcement." Mintleaf bounded onto the low tree branch beside her sister.

"Firespring?" Featherbreeze located her sitting near the center, with her kits beside her.

The ginger she-cat stood up. "Flamestar wants to end this war and soon. He plans on attacking tomorrow." Featherbreeze expected all the cats in the clearing to start talking at once but they stayed quiet.

"Then it will end tomorrow. All of you are going to come, if possible, and we will stop the war. I'm sure Brackenstar already knows, and I will tell Leafstar. She can send some cat to tell StreamClan. Tomorrow, we will stop the war, unite the clans, and the waterfall will belong to StarClan. Agreed?" Featherbreeze jumped down from the tree.

"The meeting is over," Mintleaf announced, following Featherbreeze. Is this going to help? Featherbreeze worried, watching the cats file across the tree-bridge.

"Do you think we're going to unite the clans?" Featherbreeze meowed, turning to Mintleaf.

The black she-cat blinked her green eyes. "We have to trust that StarClan wants us to be doing this. They sent Ivybreeze a sign. We're going to do this."

"But how?"

"Featherbreeze, if we worry about how to do it, we'll never do it. Stop worrying." She's acting so calm…

Featherbreeze narrowed her eyes. "Why are you acting so calm?"

Mintleaf shrugged. "StarClan is guiding us. They aren't going to lead us the wrong way."

"You had a dream, didn't you?"

Mintleaf glanced up. "I would've told you, but I was going to try and figure it out, and then tell you, and then we'd be further forward in figuring everything out."

Featherbreeze sighed. It wouldn't help to yell at her sister. "Well tell me now," she mewed.

"This cat, her name was Petalshine, came to me. She said to figure out who she was and who Flowerstar was and then I'd have another dream. But I haven't figured anything out." Mintleaf scraped the bark of the tree-bridge. "I don't know who she is. I don't know why she has anything to do with Flowerstar. I don't know."

Featherbreeze narrowed her eyes. "Petalshine… Shineheart! Mintleaf, I know what we need to do. We need to talk to Softfur!" Without waiting for Mintleaf's answer, she streaked across the tree-bridge and ran all the way to the camp. She was about to run through the entrance when she realized that every cat was asleep, except for Honeyfrost, who was on guard. Fox-dung! How am I going to talk to Softfur?

"Featherbreeze… you… run… so fast…" Mintleaf panted, running up beside her sister. "What… are you… doing?"

"We need to talk to Softfur," Featherbreeze whispered.

"It's the middle of the night! She's asleep and she won't like to be woken up." Mintleaf snuck past the entrance and creept through the dirtplace tunnel. Hissing under her breath, Featherbreeze followed.

"She's not that grumpy. Besides we have to talk to her!" Featherbreeze murmured, pushing the black she-cat through the tunnel.

"Fine! But if she gets mad, it's not my fault! Now stop rushing me."

…

Softfur was fast asleep. Her tail twitched like she was dreaming. Featherbreeze stepped forward, about to prod the old white she-cat in the shoulder. But she stopped, imagining how angry the elder might be.

"She'll kill us," Mintleaf breathed. Closing her eyes tightly, Featherbreeze poked Softfur's shoulder with one paw. She reopened her eyes. Two blue eyes opened. Softfur lifted her head and stared at them. Featherbreeze tensed. She's going to kill us.

"What do you want?" Softfur growled.

"Have you ever heard of Petalshine?" Featherbreeze asked quietly.

A flash of horror and sadness flashed through Softfur's eyes. She blinked it away quickly and meowed, "No."

"You do!" Mintleaf gasped. "Is she Shineheart from your nursery tale?"

Softfur took a long breath. "Why do you want to know this?"

Featherbreeze and Mintleaf exchanged a long look. "Let's go get Ivybreeze and Leafstar," Mintleaf suggested, standing up.

"Fine," Softfur meowed. "We can talk in Leafstar's den."

"Great," Mintleaf meowed. "I'll go get Ivybreeze." She left the den before Featherbreeze could object.

…

Leafstar woke up as soon as they padded into her den. She looked confused. "Featherbreeze? Softfur? What are you doing here?"

"Mintleaf and I are figuring out the prophecy and we asked Softfur some questions and she wanted to know why, so we brought her to you. Mintleaf is getting Ivybreeze," Featherbreeze explained.

"Prophecy?!" Softfur gasped. Just then, Mintleaf walked in with Ivybreeze.

Leafstar glared at both her daughters. "I don't know how you are trying to complete the prophecy, but it shouldn't involve waking up an elder in the middle of the night. Softfur, they are part of a prophecy, but that is a story for another time."

"Is Petalshine Shineheart?" Featherbreeze blurted. Ivybreeze and Leafstar gasped.

"You—you know about Petalshine?" Leafstar gasped.

"I had a dream." Mintleaf meowed quietly. "And we think she is the same cat as Shineheart from Softfur's nursery tale."

"You told them that story? It's so recent, though!" Leafstar asked Softfur.

Softfur shook her head. "It was recent, when they were kits. I told Willowwind's and Silverriver's kits. Featherbreeze just happened to be in there."

"Mintleaf, Featherbreeze, that was a true story, with made up names. Shineheart is Petalshine. This took place in StreamClan. Rosekit became leader. She's Flowerstar. And one of her littermates is Thunderstrike." Leafstar poked her sleeping mate with a paw. He opened his eyes.

"Is it dawn already?" he murmured, sitting up. "I-oh!" he gasped, looking at the cats sitting around him.

"We're part StreamClan?" Mintleaf whispered. "Is Breezeheart our cousin?" She had a disgusted expression on her face.

"You told them?" Thunderstrike yawned. "You told them!" He looked startled.

"Yes," Leafstar murmured.

"Who are Flowerstar's other littermates?" Featherbreeze asked.

"Swiftlake of PineClan and Shiningmask of OakClan," Thunderstrike meowed.

"Do they know?" Mintleaf looked horrified at the idea of having so much kin in other clans.

Thunderstrike nodded. "Flowerstar talked to all of us at the last gathering. She wanted us to join her in taking over the clans."

"Did any of you?" Ivybreeze asked, her face suddenly guarded.

"Yes," Thunderstrike replied. "Swiftlake and Shiningmask."

Mintleaf gasped. "The clans are going to fall. Tomorrow. StreamClan is going to use allies in all the clans and take over."

"What? Tomorrow?" Leafstar frowned. "What have you two been doing?"

Featherbreeze bit her tongue. We need to tell her about our plan. "We started getting cats from other clans to join us and unite the clans. Swiftlake was part of it."

Leafstar looked horrified. "Tomorrow is going to be the end of the war. We must prepare." She stood up and shook out her pelt. "Softfur, go get Embertail and bring him here. Thunderstrike, wake the warriors. Mintleaf, get the queens and the kits. Bring them here. Featherbreeze, wake the apprentices. Ivybreeze, prepare your herbs. And tomorrow, the clans will unite against Flowerstar."

Well, that was interesting. The next chapter is even better!

QOTC

On a scale of 1-10, how am I at writing?

I didn't know what to ask, so even though this has nothing to do with the story, I'm using it. And I would like to know how people feel about my writing skills, so review!

I understand that you are not obligated to review, but it is helpful and encouraging to me! If you haven't reviewed, and you read this story, please do review! I have said this many times, and if people don't want to review, I guess I can't change that. But remember, first review I get means I post the next chapter, or I will post it after noon tomorrow. (My time.)
