A New Beginning

Chapter 13

Dawnmist paced beside the river. What is taking them so long! She was starting to get worried. The sound of the river slightly calmed her, but it didn't do much.

It felt like moons before a white pelt and sandy colored pelt emerged from the reefs nearby. "What took so long?" Dawnmist growled as they approached.

"I couldn't find Angel and then when I found her I explain everything that happened," Breezeflight huffed. Dawnmist looked at Angel. "So, you know we have new names?" she asked. Angel nodded.

Dawnmist nodded with satisfaction, "Alright lets go." She led her friends to the stepping stones and gracefully made her way to the other side. Angel and Breezeflight weren't as graceful.

Once they were all on the other side of the river they stood and looked into Sunclan's forest. "I can't believe we are going back. After a moon of our clans thinking we were dead. What are we going to even say?" Breezeflight breathed.

Dawnmist hung her head, "I don't know. Oh Starclan help us!" Breezeflight layed his tail on her shoulders comfortingly. "What clan are we going to first?" he meowed.

Dawnmist shrugged, "I don't know." "Hey didn't y'all tell me you have a gathering every full moon," Angel cut in. Dawnmist looked up at the white she-cat, confusion clear in her green eyes.

"Yes, why?" she asked suspiciously. Angel looked up at the sun, which was place at the sunhigh mark. "Tonight is the full moon," Angel meowed.

Dawnmist looked to Breezeflight. They both knew exactly what to do. "Lets start walking to the gathering island," she meowed.

*------------------*

Dawnmist dug her claws into the soft bark of the treebridge. The moon was beginning to rise into the sky as they jumped onto the gathering island.

She breathed in the stale scents of both Sunclan and Shadeclan. Breezeflight stood beside. They both were tense and nervous about confronting there kin.

Squirrelstar and Nightpelt are going to kill me! Thank goodness I already have my warrior name because if I didn't Squirrelstar would surely not make me a warrior after what's about to happen.

She sighed and sat down. Angel touched her tail tip to her shoulder. "Its ok to feel nervous about seeing your kin after a while. But don't let that ruin your mission. Don't let it ruin your purpose of being here tonight," Angel meowed.

Dawnmist purred, "Thank you Angel. We are going to need all the help we can get."

The moon was now at its highest peak. Full of light and shining down brightly on the island. The clans would be here and second.

Dawnmist, Breezeflight, and Angel huddled in a safe spot where no one could see or smell them.

Dawnmist stiffened as she saw pelts move across the treebridge. The scent of Shadeclan wafted towards her. Starclan help us!

She felt Breezeflight tense beside her as Sunclan followed close behind Shadeclan. Dawnmist looked into the clearing where every cat gathered.

Cats were chattering on peacefully, not having a clue about what's about to happen. Dawnmist's gaze focused in on one cat.

A dark russet ginger she-cat with a long fluffy tail. Squirrelstar! Her mother was talking with Stormcloud at the base of the Great Oak.
