Warriors: A Shattered Clan

Chapter 2: Losing Hope

"But Falconstar!" A yowl erupted from the gathered crowed "that's madness!! If we start a war now, no one will survive! Not even Hailclan!"
"Silence, Desertclaw!" Falconstar growled "this is my clan and I'll decide how to run it!"
Lots of the cats gave uncertain grumbles. Blossomfern, one of the queens, drew her kits closer with her tail, a look of destress on her face.
The deputy, Aldergaze, attempted to calm everyone down, but Flaconstar continuing to speak didn't help.
      "Hailclan doesn't deserve all of that land! It should belong to us!" Falconstar yowled, he was a new leader, the old one, Juniperstar, had lost her last life protecting the clan from a fox that had came into camp, looking for an easy meal.
     More yowls of outrage bursted from the crowd.  The noise drowning out Aldergaze's pleas of quietness.
      Desertclaw glanced over at Rabbitfeater, his mate, who drew her tail over her belly. He growled "I won't do it!" He yowled... everyone quieted down and stared at him. He growled and stalked out of camp, feeling the eyes of the other cats as he disappeared into the woods.
      He sat out there for a little while, his claws sinking into the damp ground as he watched the fish dart around in the river. He took a deep breath and looked around at the dead trees, a cold wind piercing his skin. He growled, it was leaf bare alright. Soon it would start snowing. He looked up at the setting sun, seeing a few stars. He wondered if they were watching them, and if so, why weren't they stopping Falconstar?
He growled and started padding back to camp, but ran into Rabbitfeather on the way. The grey and brown she-cat stood and caught her breath, staring at him, terrified. "Falconstar is going to attack Hailclan, I was going to tell them"
"What? When?" He said, attempting to calm her down
"Sundown tomorrow" she huffed
"Then what are we waiting for?" He asked and started to run toward Hailclan territory.
