CHAPTER two

"Ok this'll do for our camp; thanks Leafstar" Leafpool told the other she-cat. They had spent the night in Skyclan's camp; allowing Crowstar to receive his official leader name from Starclan. They were standing in a tiny clearing in the part of the forest that was outside of Skyclan's borders. A small cliff flanked the clearing on one side.

"Your welcome; and I hope that you'll do good in your plan to make a new clan to be Skyclan's neighbor" Leafstar said.

"Don't forget to meet us at Sky's den when the full moon comes so we can have a real gathering" Echosong, Skyclan's medicine cat said as she and her leader left the clearing; heading back towards the border many tail lengths away. Crowstar turned to his mate.

"First a name for our clan" he said.

"How about Dawnclan; since technically this'll be a new dawn for both our clan and Skyclan" Leafpool suggested lying down.

"Ok Dawnclan it is; now we have to make dens and find cats willing to become warriors" Crowfeather walked over to a fallen log and peered inside a hole in it.

"That could be the warriors den" Leafpool suggested. She flicked her tail at a large fern.-"that could be the apprentice den and that shallow dip underneath that thistle bush over there could be your den, the leader's den". Crowfeather looked at the spots and nodded;

"That cave in the side of the cliff could be the medicine cat den; that is if you're willing to be a medicine cat or at least train one" Crowfeather said.

"I'll be a medicine cat when I don't have kits to look after" Leafpool replied.

"Alright; let's go find a few cats" Crowstar said. They padded away from their camp and around the cliff to head deeper into their territory. Within a few minutes they came across twoleg nests flanking this territory's left side.

"Guess that'll do for a border on that side" Leafpool said flicking her tail at the nests.

"Hey you!" a dark brown tom kitty pet called to them; he leapt off his garden post and bounded over to them.

"Hi kitty pet" Leafpool meowed calmly to the tom.

"Leafstar told me you needed cats to build your new clan; she asked me to help you" the tom said.

"But you're a kitty pet" Crowfeather exclaimed.

"My name's Hutch; I used to be a warrior of Skyclan when Firestar was rebuilding it; I know a lot of cats in this area" Hutch said.

"You'll help us?" Crostar said.

"Yes, but don't think if you get in a fight with Skyclan that I won't hesitate to side with my former clan" Hutch reminded them.

"We know, thank you; please lead the way" Leafpool said. Hutch nodded and padded towards a particular garden and leapt onto a fence; Crowstar leapt up beside him while Leafpool waited on the ground.

"Rose! Lily!" Hutch called; a moment later two strange cream colored cats with black faces and tails stepped into the garden.

"Hello Hutch" the one with the darker face called to him.

"Hi Rose; this is Crowstar; he and his mate Leafpool are looking to recruit cats to join their new warrior clan" Hutch explained flicking his tail at the dark grey tom.

"Would you be interested in joining?" Crowstar called to her and her sister.

"Maybe; let us think about it" Lily meowed; her blue gaze fixed on him in wonder.

"Meet us tomorrow in the small clearing beside the cliff to give us your answer; we'll explain more about the life of a warrior then" Crowstar told them.

"We'll be there" Rose promised as the two toms jumped down. They visited several more gardens before approaching a loner living on their territory.

"Hi Streak, this is Crowstar and his mate Le-" Hutch began.

"Don't care go away!" the black and brown tom hissed at them.

"Wasn't he friendly" Leafpool muttered as they left.

"We'll have to convinse him to join unless we want a tiny territory" Crowstar reminded her.
