/> "Oh, yeah, that. Random question, do you have a mate?"
"Um, no."
"Well... although I don't know what you'll say.. since you saved me from falling off the ledge... I have kind of have a crush on you."
"Same here Owlclaw. Actully, I think I love you."
"Me too Moonwing. Will you be my mate?"
"Yes, I will." Owlclaw gently did the mating process and within a few minutes they were mates. Moonwing purred in delight and padded back to camp with her new mate beside her.

(Real life)
"So, you had problems in that clan too? Some tom was flirting with your mother, your friend was trying to calm down her inscane mentor, the medicine cat broke the warrior code twice and you still didn't know who the cat in the dream was?" Blazestrike gasped. Moonsky nodded sadly as she remembered it alll like it was yesterday.
"But how comes you're a apprentice now and you were a warrior there?" Blazestrike asked her.
"Well, it was a long time when Owlclaw mated me, I had kits and become deputy." Moonsky replied softly. "Do you have anymore time?"
"Plenty." Blazestrike mewed kindly to his friend.
"Ok, here goes. It's a while forward. Only changes are Fawnpaw is know Fawnfoot and Flowertail, my sister, is dead anlong with Ripplehiss."
"I am listening. Tell me."


(Flashback)
"Just run Petalflight! Leave your kits, you can do nothing about it!" Moonwing said urgently to her friend. Foxes were invading, and a fire was passing through the terrortory fast. Petalflight had given birth to 3 kits yesterday and they were too weak to travel. That had no option but to die in the fire or get eaten by foxes. Petalflight refused.
"Their my kits! I'll die with them, go Moonwing. Return to the clan... keep Owlclaw and your own kits safe.. be a good deputy... I trust you." Petalflight sighed softly.
"Then why aren't you moving, despite you trust me!" Moonwing snapped.
"I don't want to leave them. We'll be fine in StarClan, promise." Petalflight begged.
"You'll be safer with the clan." Moonwing mumbled. She grabbed the she-cat by the scuff and pulled her out.
"No! My kits!" She screamed. Petalflight dashed in from Moonwing's grip. Moonwing gasped in horror and went back, but she couldn't. A burning branch was blocking the entrence. Moonwing then heard a shout. It was Sunspark, her former apprentice, cornered by a fox. She ran over and pounced onto the fox. It yelped in pain and ran off.
"Come on!" Moonwing hissed to him silently, leading him to a hole in the ground where they could rest until Sunspark was strong enough to carry on. Moonwing wanted to sleep, but she couldn't. It wasn't a option, unless she wanted to die. Sunspark sat down beside her and purred. Moonwing tried to move away from him, but the hole was small and she could only move a few rabbit-hops. Sunspark then groomed himself and moved closer to Moonwing.
"Can we be mates? I love you." He whispered.
"Um, no. I'm mated, sorry little guy. Why don't you try for Nightheart? You were friends as apprentices!" Moonwing meowed quickly.
"Yeah, but I don't love her."
"I'm mated to Owlclaw and had kits, so there."
"But Owlclaw's dead." Moonwing's ears pricked up in horror. Her own mate, dead?
"I don't believe you." Moonwing said bravely, trying to hold back yowling in sorrow.
"He is dead too. He died saving Fawnfoot from a fox, so you can mate me."
"I.. don't love you though Sunspark. You're a very good liar, by the way." Suddenly, Owlclaw poked his head down the hole, alive!
"I'm not dead, thanks Sunspark. Stop trying to flirt with my mate or I will kill you right here, right now." He growled, helping Moonwing out of the hole. "Run. Run like the wind." He whispered to her. "I'll be out soon." Moonwing didn't move at all. Owlclaw sighed and licked her cheek.
"Fine, you can help me." He meowed. The 2 cats ran off to help their clanmates. Sunspark crawled out of the hole angrily. He thought he has got away with it! Suddenly, Moonwing yowled. Her neck had been cut open, and blood was rapdily pouring out.
"Moonwing!" Owlclaw shouted. He rushed over to her side.
"Just.. leave.. I.. am.. dying." Moonwing gasped. "I love you Owlclaw, always have. Goodbye now, my love. Keep the children safe." She then closed her eyes. She was dead. Owlclaw yowled in sorrow and anger.

(Real life)
"But why are you here now when you died?" Blazestrike meowed curiously.
"Ah, have you not figured it out?" Moonsky asked, smiling.
"Wait.. you have fur like snow.. you're here now when you died ages ago.. you're the cat! You are the cat StarClan spoke of! You are the cat that came back to life after you died!" Blazestrike meowed in triumph.
"Correct. When Petalflight gave birth again 20 moons after the fire happened, I was in the litter. She called me Moonkit in honour of Moonwing."
"But she was trapped in the nursery!"
"Not trapped. She escaped through a small hole at the back and saw me die."
"Oh, right."
"That's enought story time for today. It's late now, so we better get some sleep." The 2 cats walked back to the warrior den, brushing up against eachother.
The third Gathering

"Who's going to the gathering tonight Snowstar?" Bearpelt asked. "I can round them up."
"I have told everyone, they'll be her shortly." Snowstar replied. A small group of cats led by Shadowstep padded over.
"Right, lets go." Snowstar mewed. The clan set off to the meeting place. RainClan hadn't turned up yet.
"Good day Snowstar, how are you?" Leafstar chirped brightly.
"Great thanks. We've welcomed lots of new warriors, apprentices and kits!" Snowstar meowed.
"We have only welcomed apprentices, no warriors or kits sadly." Leafstar admitted. Blazestrike was talking to Twigfur and Butterfly.
"So, how's life right now?" Blazestrike mewed.
"Oh, fine. Apart from the attack." Butterfly said quickly.
"What attack?"
"You'll find out soon enough." Finally, RainClan arrived with scatched fur and dark eyes.
"I'll start first." Bloodstar meowed a bit friendler than usual. "BloodClan are well, to your relief we haven't attacked anyone. Prey has been running well and we haven't sat vigil for anyone. However, Twolegs have been noticed in our terrortory, and they stole Growlfang. According to a loner, Growlfang has completly disappeared." BloodClan mewed sadly in agreement.
"Leafstar?" Bloodstar turned to the brown she-cat.
"I'll speak last. Snowstar?"
"Thank you Leafstar. SnowClan have been busy since the last gathering. Our terrortory was set on fire, we lost a apprentice during the fire and we thank RainClan for sheltering us." Snowstar began. Rainstar smiled and the other cats kept quiet.
"On the way back, we were ambushed by foxes. We only lost Whitebone and she will be greatly missed. We then got news that Lizardeye had broken the warrior code and he stepped down from his role as deputy. Our new one is Shadowstep!" Many cats cheered, as Shadowstep was respected and looked up to by all the clans.
"While saving a apprentice, Fernwhisker was also stolen by Twolegs when she was expecting kits. Everyone looked for her."
"Where is she now?" Mudpaw shouted out. She then blushed. "I mean, is she still with the Twolegs?"
"A patrol rescued her several moons ago. She's back at camp with her kits. Lots of cats are back at camp, either elder or queen. I forgot to mention that Ghostpaw, our old medicine apprentice has been exiled after meeting a cat from another clan, mating him and almost killing 2 apprentices." The clans went into quiet chatter and Bloodstar hushed them.
"It was brought to my attention too, as Growlfang was the cat. We are very sorry for this cause Snowstar." He mewed calmly.
"It's fine. Rainstar?" Snowstar turned to the she-cat.
"Thank you Snowstar. I am sorry to tell you that LeafClan have been crossing our boarders to hunt." Rainstar growled.
"You attacked us!" Leafstar rasped. "We lost kits and a elder because of you!" The leaders continued to argue until they started attacked eachother.
"Quick, even if we are rivals, we have to stop them!" Bloodstar urged. Snowstar grabbed Leafstar.
"Stop it, please!" She said.
"Fine. If RainClan wants us to go, we will leave. LeafClan will be no more. We'll leave the forest and find a new home." Leafstar annonced. The clans gasped in horror and Rainstar hissed.
"The gathering is over, before StarClan punishes us." Snowstar mewed coldly. The RainClan cats hissed as Leafstar led her clan away. Only BloodClan and SnowClan remained together, not fighting.
"Can Featherkink and Shadowstep come up here please? We could use both your intellgence to help us out." Snowstar mewed. The deputies came up together and the 4 cats talked in a huddle.
"We have to do something before RainClan drive out LeafClan!" Snowstar meowed in worry.
"But BloodClan and SnowClan have been huge rivals since SnowClan were formed." Featherkink pointed out. "We've fighted and fighted, many inccoecent cats have been killed because of this violence."
"Yes, but rivals or not, we have to join up." Bloodstar meowed. "I have a plan we could disscus now with the clans."
"Go on then." Snowstar said.

The next day, Ivyfur padded towards Snowstar looking worried and anxious about something. Today was the day that Bloodstar's plan would come into action, and everyone was prepared as usual.
"I recived a dream from StarClan last night. It was some sort of vision." She said.
"Tell me, what was it about?" Snowstar asked.
"It was just a clearing, covered in blood. The trees had blood, the stones had blood, even prey had blood. StarClan spoke of another prohecrey."
"Not again.. what was it?"
"When moonhigh comes, blood will run through the forest alone."
"Wha.."
"Yes, it's confusing."
"You could speak to the elders, they are good with this type of thing. Anyways, can you make sure all the apprentices apart from Wildpaw and Bubblepaw are ready? Barkclaw too, him and the apprentices are guarding camp." Ivyfur nodded and left. Badgerstripe padded over with fear in his eyes.
"Oh geez, I just sorted out a problem, i'm not a ageny aunt." She teased.
"I know. I am just scared. I don't trust Bloodstar in any way what so ever and I think he's leading us into a trap." He sighed.
"Well, we haven't got a option. Either trust BloodClan or let RainClan drive out LeafClan."
"I prefer to stay here and not get involed."
"Same Badgerstripe, I wish it was that easy." Badgerstripe pressed up aganist her and Snowstar licked his ear. Foxrunner padded over.
"Everyones ready to go." She said.
"Good. We'll leave now." Snowstar decided. She called the warriors and the 2 apprentices to get ready. Duststorm was saying goodbye to his sister, the elders and most importantly, his mate and kits.
"Try not to die." Fernwhisker said.
"I can assure you I won't die. I love you Fernwhisker, you know I do." He purred.
"I always have too."
"Look after our kits, keep them safe." Duststorm then left, looking back. Fernwhisker smiled and prayed to StarClan that
