Leafclan

There was a short silence from her siblings when she explained the clan thing. Winter didn't seem surprised, but he didn't know what to say. "Cool!" Summer exclaimed.

Autumn shook her head. "This is not going to work."

Spring looked at her questioningly. "Why not?"

Autumn sighed. "The kits will want to join this clan, and we can't have a clan made of just kits. We need cats to hunt for them."

"They have a right to join if they want." Spring replied. "And not all of them will."

Autumn opened her mouth again, but whatever it was, she didn't get to say it. Winter stepped between them. "Look, the kits are still nearby, waiting for what happens next. Let's just offer them the chance to join the clan, and go from there."

Autumn reluctantly nodded. Spring walked out and jumped up so everyone could see her. "Attention everyone!" That got a few kits to look at her, but not most of them. "EVERYONE SHUT IT!" Spring shouted. The kits promptly stopped talking. "Alright. We're forming a clan. They're a group of cats who look after one another."

"Unlike those rouges." One of them snarled.

Spring nodded. "The clan will be Leafclan, named after a former leader. Now, all of you who want to join this clan stay here. The rest of you can go." As they predicted, a few cats did leave. But most of them stayed. She nodded. "Now, there is a bit of buisness to get down to." So Spring jumped down and gave them all warrior names. Then she named her siblings. Summer became Summerheart, Autumn became Autumnpelt, and Winter was Winterfur.

She announced Winterfur would be her medicine cat and the kits, catching on fast, cheered for him. "Now, we need a deputy."

The kits looked at each other, seeming confused. "What's a deputy?" One asked.

"A deputy is the cat who takes over when the leader dies." She looked at her sister. "I'd like Autumnpelt to be my deputy."

The kits cheered. Autumnpelt gasped. "Me?"

Spring, now Springstar, nodded. "You'll be perfect for the job."

Autumnpelt bowed her head. "Thank you Springstar. I accept." By the time all that was done, it was getting late.


It was even later, after they'd done some hunting for the kits, that Springstar and Winterfur walked away to find the Starclan cats. "Any idea where we're going?" Springstar asked.

Winterfur shook his head. "Afraid not. But we'll know when we find it."

Springstar was getting concerned though. They'd gone farther than she could remember ever going before. Then Winterfur walked through some bushes, and almost fell. Springstar grabbed his scruff. "Whoa." She dragged him up. "You okay?"

Winterfur nodded. "Fine." And he seemed fine, just a little shook up. "And I think I found where we can meet Starclan." He waved his tail at the pit. The ground and walls of it shimmered, like the Starclan cats.

Springstar nodded. "I think so too."

The two climbed, carefully, down the pit. There, they curled up and slept.

When they woke up they were in Starclan. Springstar recognized it from when she'd been killed by the bear. And there was Leafstar. "Leafstar!" Springstar called. "Are you going to give me a life?"

Leafstar shook her head. "I've already given you a life. However, there are plenty of cats here to give you a life."

Billystorm, Stormheart, Echosong, Tinycloud, Harryfur, Sharpstar, Clovertail, and Rainfur had shown up to give Springstar a life.

"I'll go first." Stormheart volunteered. She walked forward. "I give you a life of knowledge, so you can lead the clan with your heart and head." She leaned in and gave Springstar the life. It wasn't as painful as Leafstar's life. As the cats each gave her a life the pain varied depending on the life. But Winterfur stood by the whole time and helped her be strong.
