Warriors: A Tiny Shadow (BOOK 4)

Chapter 25

[Snowstar's POV]

I walked into the clearing that the gathering was held and MapleClan was already there. What confused me was that I didn't see Flashstar at all which didn't bother me to much I just wondered where he was. In his place up on the Big Tree was Silverhawk. I let my clan disperse into the clearing and jumped up to the branches with Silverhawk. He shifted his weight uncomfortable to be there.

"Hello Silverhawk." I told him quickly before looking to my clan. Then I saw EverClan coming in being led by Toadstar. I didn't know who was worse. At least Bloodstar had some restraint. Toadstar almost killed some of his own clanmates in the attack. I remember when he was normal though. He used to be my mate and once our clans found out. After that he started to act more weird.

"I'm Silverstar now." Silverhawk replied. I was shocked. I thought Flashstar was still young and had plenty of time before he died. Toadstar then jumped up by us and walked to the other side of the branch. I guess he didn't want to talk to us.

"What happened to Flashstar?" I asked more quietly. Even if I didn't completely like the clans I still got worried for them when something happens.

"He was killed. We haven't found the murderer yet but we will find them. We only have one clue and it's some white fur. I'm not suspecting you though because that would be a long walk from TideClan to MapleClan just to kill one leader. Sadly, I'm suspecting my own sister." He sighed and looked down before gripping the branch tighter. I guess he wasn't really used to the height.

"I'm sorry for that. I really hope it's not your sister." I told him. He just nodded and kept looking away. I sighed and looked around. Soon I saw Spokenstar leading her clan into the area. It looked like she had a strong amount. I guess she was trying to look bigger than she was. She climbed up to us quickly.

"Snowstar, Silverhawk, Toadstar." She said then looked back to her clan. I saw the two toms, Tigerstripe and Cheetahpelt, walking around. Yea, I knew them. Who didn't?

"It's Silverstar, and am I allowed to go down there? I want to say hello to my brothers." He asked all of us. I wasn't really sure but if it was his brothers I would say yes.

"Um, maybe after the gathering. Let's go ahead and start anyways." Spokenstar said. She kinda looked nervous too. I guess from most of our gatherings having the Dark Forest attack. I did only see one amazing warrior. It was weird. I didn't see Flamefur or Metalclaw. Those two had always been at the gatherings since they were apprentices. I hope they weren't sick or anything. They were the main thing keeping us from being killed most of the time in the gatherings.

"No, I think he should be allowed to go there now. We can wait just a little longer." I told her softly. Silverstar smiled a little then looked back to his brothers.

"What about you Toadstar?" Spokenstar asked with a small hiss. I guess she knew how evil he was too.

"Whatever makes your little mouse-brains happy." He growled to us a little bit. I took a small step back not wanting to be near him.

"Well it's still tied." I sighed. I wanted him to be able to go down there and at least tell his brothers he's a leader.

"Well, I guess we can let him go down there." Spokenstar finally said. Silverstar flashed a small smile of thanks to her then jumped down quickly. It looked like he was sneaking up on his brothers. I wished I could see their reaction when they realize that he is a leader now.

"Thank you Spokenstar." I told her then looked to all the cats as they kept talking.

---------------------

Yay! More evil cats! Lol, I'm kinda running out of ideas and this is going to be one of the last chapters. I think the last chapter will be Chapter 29 so only 4 more chapters, then the bonus chapter. Wow, then the next book comes. I already have an idea for the name. How about 'The Fall Of Snow' or 'Snow Falling' because yea, you will see..... Bye! Don't forget to leave a vote or comment!
