Stars Shattered

Chapter 5

CrowStar laid under the tall rock, the shade cooling his fur. It was a warm day for New-leaf, but a welcome one. " CrowStar...? " The quietly word of WhiteTail, his new Deputy, spoke to him. CrowStar looked up " Yes, WhiteTail...? " CrowStar mumbled. " SunPaw...needs a new mentor..and the warriors have been complaining about the heat.. " WhiteTail mewed. " Oh yes....SunPaw.. " CrowStar mumbled, and was flashed back with the memories of being so proud of PygmyLeap getting his first apprentice, but where shattered when Remembering who SunPaws father was, and how she look exactly like him. " I'll give her a new mentor soon...any ideas for who it should be..? " CrowStar sat up, adjusting his posture. " Well, BreezePelt, he's a strong, young warrior...And NightCloud, your sister, is also there..." WhiteTail mewed. " BreezePelt was PygmyLeaps best friend...Maybe he should take SunPaw..." CrowStar mumbled. " Now the heat, The kits have been complaining, and some of the warriors too " WhiteTail meowed. " Well, Arrange a patrol to go down to the ThunderClan border and gather as much water as possible, then we will give it to RushFoot, GorseTail, and the kits. Then we will give the rest out to the warriors " CrowStar instructed, and walked onto the Tall Rock, the heat burned his paws pad slightly. " Let all cats able to run the moor gather for a clan meeting! " CrowStar called. As cats gathered, he saw RushFoot heave himself out of the the elders den, and felt a pang of sympathy for the old Tom. " S-SunPaw needs a new mentor, So I have decided that BreezePelt, you will be SunPaws new mentor, I know you will pass down everything WhiteTail has taught you " CrowStar called, and BreezePelt pressed his nose against the SunPaws, and Back away. Sitting back down. " Clan dismissed " CrowStar called, and walked back down, laying under the rock. " Ok, I want all available warriors to go down to the ThunderClan border and gather water. " WhiteTail called, and CrowStar watched the cats walk out. HeatherKit and HareKit ran out of the Nursery, chasing each other around camp. " Well aren't you two speedy, I'm sure you will be the fastest cats in the clan when your older " CrowStar chuckled. " Yeah! We are gonna beat any cat in any race! And catch the quickest rabbits! " HeatherKit mewed, and ran towards CrowStar, who stopped her with a paw " Well, you will need to work on your stealth for that, and running up to your enemy, or prey, isn't gonna help " CrowStar smiled. " CrowStar...can me and HeatherKit go on the Tall rock...? I-I wanna see what you see when you hold meetings " HareKit mewed. CrowStar looked at the little Tom, and his mind raced with memory's of PygmyLeap as a kit.

" Papa, can we go on the tall rock! I wanna see what it's like to be a leader! "  PygmyKit mewed. " Well, I'm sure OneStar would let you, but go ask him " CrowFoot smiled. " Ok! " PygmyKit smiled, and ran towards the pale leader. " OneStar! OneStar! Can I go on the Tall rock! Please please please! " PygmyKit begged. " Alright, come along. " OneStar smiled slightly, and lead him up the rock. " Wow, You can see everything! " PygmyKit gasped. " Just wait till you can go outside of camp, all of WindClan territory is waiting for ya " OneStar murmured. PygmyKit giggled, and tumbled down the Tall rock, running to CrowFoots paws. " Did you see me papa! Did ya! " PygmyKit giggled. " I did, it's almost like you where PygmyStar. " CrowFoot chuckled. " Do you think I'll be a leader one day? " PygmyKit asked. " I'm sure whatever you do, you will be the specialist Kit ever "

" CrowStar...? CrowStar! " HareKit mewed. " Huh- oh, yes, you two may go up there, just be careful " CrowStar mewed. " Ok! " both kits mewed, and ran up the rock. " I'm leader of WindClan! " HeatherKit mewed. As the patrol of cats returned, CrowStar called down the kits, and walked them to the nursery, where GorseTail was resting. ThistleBelly laid a moss wad of Water down, and trotted out. CrowStar sat, and sighed. CrowStar looked down at his wad of moss, and lapped it gently.
