Shatteredmoon walked around the forest, searching for prey. Skyfrost and Silentflower were at the make shift camp, creating a den for them to sleep in. She scented a mouse and dropped into a hunters crouch. She caught the mouse and began to head back to camp. Ever since the rockfall that destroyed the clan, She, Skyfrost and Silentflower had been struggling to find where to set up camp and begin to rebuild Stormclan. The others had been trying to persuade her to become the leader seeing as she was the previous deputy. Shatteredmoon didn't think she was ready enough to become leader and there wasn't much of a clan to lead. As she walked into the camp, Skyfrost came walking towards her.
"We found a cat who claims to be able to speak to cats from the stars." Skyfrost mewed.
Shatteredmoon placed her mouse down on the fresh kill pile and turned back to Skyfrost.
"Where is this cat?" Shatteredmoon asked.
"Silentflower brought him back to camp. He is somewhere near the warriors den." Skyfrost replied.
Shatteredmoon headed over towards the den. She was used to cats talking to her about things like this seeing as she used to be the deputy of the old Stormclan and that they now treated her like she was the leader.
There was a long hair grey tom standing near the den, talking to Silentflower.
"Oh hello Shatteredmoon." Silentflower mewed.
"Greetings." She replied.
"Hello, I am Cloudpool." The grey tom said.
"Yes, Skyfrost told me of you. She said you could talk to star cats." Shatteredmoon meowed.
"Yes, yes, it sounds ridiculous but ever since I was a youngster, I would have dreams about cats who would tell me things." He mewed in response.
"That doesn't sound ridiculous to me. Where we are from there were a few cats who had visions and dreams like that." Shatteredmoon replied.
"Oh, I thought I was the only one." He replied.
"Well, we were brought up in a clan. There was a medicine cat who would always have dreams like that from our warrior ancestors. Starclan would come and talk to them." She explained.
"Right. Silentflower said that being able to talk star cats and know about healing herbs could come in handy around here. I'm slightly confused. You said that where you came from they already have cats like me. So why would I be useful?" Cloudpool said.
"Umm, well... not too long ago, there was a great rockfall which crushed all of the camp and every cat in it. Luckily Silentflower, Skyfrost and I were on a hunting patrol so we survived. We plan to find somewhere to find a place to set up a new proper camp and rebuild the clan. Seeing as I was the deputy in the previous clan, the others believe I should become the leader." Shatteredmoon mewed.
"Right, I'm very sorry to hear what happened. But I'm still a bit confused." Cloudpool responded.
"You have the skills of a medicine cat and we would like you to become our medicine cat." She explained.
"Uhhh, well, ok, why not?" Cloudpool decided.
"Ok, that's great." Shatteredmoon replied.
"Is this going to be the official camp?" Cloudpool asked.
"Probably not. Skyfrost and Silentflower said they had found a place that would be perfect. It's a clearing in the deep forest. We just don't know if it's occupied or not." Shatteredmoon said.
"The clearing with the great chestnut?" Cloudpool asked.
"They did mention there was a huge tree so maybe?" She replied.
"If it is the clearing I know of, it hasn't been occupied since a cat that lived there passed." Cloudpool explained.
"Ok, we can visit in the morning and if it is what it claims to be, we can move there." Shatteredmoon mewed.
"Great." Cloudpool responded.
"You can tell Skyfrost and Silentflower that you are the new medicine cat. You can sleep in the warriors den seeing as we haven't really got another den." She said.
"Alright. Thank you." Cloudpool meowed.
Shatteredmoon turned and walked of to go find Skyfrost. They were one step closer to rebuilding Stormclan.
