Chapter 18 Leafpool, Cinderpelt Hawkfrost

***Cherrystar****

These mountains are cold! I can see a dark green of growth from the heights of the mountains. I look at my deputy, Waspwhisker who was eating a scrawny, rabbit, "Its Time, as Crowfeather has said now it's the Gathering and I want to find where the other clans will gather."

I turned from him and addressed the tribe.

"I thank all of you for your generosity, for the food and the shelter, now it's time for us to leave,"

Together as one, we left the mountains, the kits that had been born on the journey to the mountains where carried by the younger warriors, I looked back on them as we where lead by the Tribe, to the edge of the border into the forest. The sun was setting as we crossed onto the cool of the evening the scent of many cats heading into one direction was a good sign that we where on the right path.

We passed a barn and saw a group of cats ahead of us. I sniffed the air, my whiskers twitching as I picked up the scent of Sandstorm! Where is Firestar?

I sniffed again just to be sure that he was not here and my tail drooped, did he die? I flicked my tail to my brother, "Get Sandstorm, alone" with a nod he dashed off but staying hidden from the group until he could reach her.

I hope we can make ago of this new land. I hope the clans will welcome us at least Thunderclan might...but who knows?

****Sandstorm***

My paws stung from the sharp rocks that littered the ground so I dropped back to lick the grit from them. I smelled a new scent to the already confusing aroma. But this one seemed that I knew....but who?

I turn to face the dark shape coming at me, my claws unsheathed and my tail lashing. My teeth bared, slightly.

The cat like shape slowed down, and I remembered its scent but why is it here? Skyclan!

"Sparrowpelt! " I now remember the tom that Firestar and I helped.

The tomcat sat down as we talked.

"What are you here....is Skyclan okay?"

"We are fine, my sister is clan leader now, and I have mate. But there are pressing matters at paw... Echosong and Frecklewish had received a sign from Starclan and....well we have moved from the Gorge to live here beneath the stars and four clans, if they will have us."

I just gasp at his words, I just have no breathe to speak, that is until Squirrelflight came back to fetch me.

"Mother, who is this? You are you?" she looked down her muzzle at the tom. Her green eyes narrowed.

"this is a old friend, do run along and fetch Firestar, tell him to send Brambleclaw to run the clan."

"Yes mother," she turned tail and ran.

"How is Leafstar? Did she have kits and are they warriors?"

To this Sparrowpelt bowed his head, "Leafstar is dead, been dead for five seasons. As for her kits, she had three, Firestorm, Stormfang, and Harryfur. The last one died from a snake bite. She named Firestorm after Firestar and Stormfang after you."

The sound of paw-thuds came to my ears as my mate galloped to us, skidding in the leaves to a stop.

"Is it true? It is! Of Starclan we can be five clans again!" my mate is slowing losing his mind he is not understanding the situation at paw here. What will the three other clans think? What will Brambleclaw do?
