Leafstar leaped branch to brach, her long legs leaping up gracefully. Frost tipped her fur, making her glow. Sadness hung in her green eyes, like pools of despair. Frozenpaw, Ripplepaw, Tigerpaw, Sleetpaw, Mossypaw, and Berrysun had all disappeared. She wasn't sure weather all f them were dead, but she was sure that Berrysun was. She ahd been found with a slit throat and short grey hairs in her claws. She had been attacked, and either her kits had run away from what had attacked her or they had also been killed.
"All cats old enough to catch their own prey join for a clan meeting beneath High Branch!" Leafstar yowled. Sadness hung in the air, Berrysun's body was lying in the clearing, everyone looked at the former queen with sorrow and wonder of how she died. "As many of you may know, Berrysun has been murdered and her five kits are no where to be found." She shook her head, many in the clearing cried, but Leafstar's eyes remained dry, her heart didn't even break at the news that she had to deliver. This is what happened when you are so distant from the clan, you stop caring.
"We will step up patrols, and everyone will be on the look out for Frozenpaw, Ripplepaw, Tigerpaw, Sleetpaw, and Mossypaw. That is all-" She was cut off by a screech from Dizzysong, an ear splitting, blood curtailing screech of horror.
"Berrysun was murdered by one of our own!" She yowled loudly. Her eyes dark slits of anger. "I can prove it!" She holwed, her eyes narrowed on Viperpaw.
"What?!" Leafstar screeched loudly, the clan looked still in shock at Dizzysong.
"That only scent on her is that of our own, she was inside our territory, and her claws were barely out. They would be fully extended if it was an enemy that killed her." She looked around at the shocked clan. "And in her claws, is short grey fur..." She trailed off as the clan looked at Viperpaw.
"I didn't kill her!" Viperpaw yowled at Dizzysong, her eyes wide, scared, and defiant. "Why would I?!" She howled.
"Why did you attack your brother the other day? That makes no sense either!" She growled and the clan narrowed their eyes at Viperpaw, growled rippled from the clan.
"ENOUGH! It seems that their may be a murderer in our midst." She narrowed her eyes at Viperpaw. "And she will be dealt with as soon as StarClan speaks. Until then she will be under constant guard, never let out of our sight. And she will be very deeply punished for her deed." She narrowed her eyes, deep growled rippled from the clan. Everyone looked at the apprentice with hatred.
"Applesplash and Swiftrain will be the first to guard her." She growled. "That is all! Clan dismissed." She leaped down and stalked to the body of the fallen queen.

More Cats
Leafstar padded to the top of high branch, the wind whipped her fur back, her eyes stung with tears. They were not from her being sad, but from the winds sting. She covered her face with her tail for a moment until the wind died down. She looked across across the clan, that now gazed up at her expectantly.
"All cats old enough to catch their own prey join for a clan meeting beneath high branch!" She yowled, she feared that the wind carried her voice away but the clan heard and they gathered even closer, huddling together against the wind.
"First off I would like to say that Goldenfurze has kitted, three healthy kits! Necturekit, Shatteredkit, and Pinekit! A she-kit and two toms." The clan cheered happily and Goldenfurze smiled so widely that her teeth gleamed.
"Second, I am very sad to say that Snowpaw and Marshpaw died of green cough last night, may they find their peace in StarClan. But before we grieve we shall name their living sisters, Dappledpaw and Berrypaw, as the warriors that they deserve to be, and joining them is Skypaw." Dappledpaw and Berrypaw stepped forward, sadness lit their eyes. Skypaw stepped forward as well.
"Do you all promise to uphold he warrior code and serve this clan to the best of your abilities, even at the cost of your live?" She asked kindly to the two sisters, they had so much grief so early in their lives...Skypaw looked up at Leafstar with blue eyes.
"We do." They nodded. They had become strong and pretty she-cats, still twins, hard to tell apart.
"I do." Skypaw said firmly.
"Then Berrypaw, from this moment on you shall be known as Berrypetal, StarClan honors your kindness and understanding." Berrypetal dipped her head.
"Dappledpaw, from this moment on your shall be knonw as Dappledtail, StarClan honors your bravery and quick thinking." Dappledtail dipped her tail.
"Skypaw, from this moment on you shall be known as Skyzap. StarClan honors your cleverness and daring nature!" Skyzap dipped his head.
"Next, Petalkit and Mudkit had reached their sixth moon. It is time for them to be apprenticed. Mudkit you will be known as Mudpaw, Petalkit you will be known as Petalpaw." She smiled at the new apprentices who gleamed with excitement.
"And finally Applesplash has informed me that she scented StillClan on our side of the territory. She will be leading a patrol there. Anyone who wishes to join it may. That is all! Clan dismissed." She leaped dow and smiled.
"All cats old enough to catch their own prey join for a clan meeting beneath high branch!" She yowled, she feared that the wind carried her voice away but the clan heard and they gathered even closer, huddling together against the wind.

Kits!
Leafstar leaped gracefully branch to branch as her long legs pushed off from one to another. Her claws made little sound on the soft bark of the oak tree. Her yellow, cutting eyes, looked across the clearing. The cats were all in the usual groups, she shrugged and shook her head. She looked at the new cats, there were three of them in all, all of them healthy and fit. She smiled satisfied.
"All cats old enough to catch their own prey join for a clan meeting beneath High Branch!" She called loudly and the clan gathered, everyone knew what was coming and they all beamed, especially Dropletshimmer, Riseshadow, and Quickpad.
"As many of you must know, Riseshadow had her kit! Her name is Songkit!" Everyone turned to the tiny white she-kit that was now sitting on her fathers, Quickpad's, paws. Songkit beamed and her blue eyes glittered. "We wish them congratulations!" She smiled. "But also we must grieve, Riseshadow's other kit, was born still. And for that we are sorrowful." She lowered her head.
"Also Dropletshimmer had kits!" The clan looked shocked. No one had known that she she-cat was even expecting, until now. "She had six healthy kits!" She yowled and the clan blinked again, six was a lot. Everyone looked at the kits, four she-kits and two toms. "She had Flutterkit," The white she-kit smiled, "Stalk-kit, Silverkit," A black tom and a black she-kit both flicked their ears at the sound of their names, "Sleetkit," This time a grey tom looked up, "Brook-kit," the silver-grey she-kit smiled, "And finally Speckledkit" A black and white spotted she-kit looked up. "Her mate was a rouge named Shadow," The clan hissed and growled but Leafstar kept talking. "If anyone sees him he is to be brought to me! Not harmed but brought right to me!" The clan nodded.
"Then we have Nightkit." A small black kitten leaped up at his name. "We found him in the forest and he will be joining!" She purred loudly.
"Finally I scented a bit of StillClan over the border, if anyone goes near there then please take a look around. That is all! Clan dismissed!"

Back to Normal
Leafstar sat on High Branch. Her eyes swept across the clearing. They were lively, her pelt sparkled with frost that coated on their tips. Her tail flicked. She stood and looked around, not just at the cats but at everything. The murky color of the evening sky, the warmth of her breath as it swelled around her when she breathed out. Her eyes half closed, she felt as if she could just sit there forever. The moon was a foggy and soft shape behind a layer of fog, still luminescent enough to light the night sky. She looked down at Burstkit, Mudkit, and Petalkit, they were six moons now! She blinked.
"All cats old enough to catch their own prey join for a clan meeting beneath High Branch!" She yowled and the clan gathered, except for Viperpaw who sat on the edge of all the other cats, not daring to sit, talk, or even look at another cat.
"Burstkit, Mudkit, and Petalkit! You have reached your sixth moon! It is time for you all to become apprentices!" The three stepped forward, their eyes sparkling. "Do you promise to uphold the warrior code and train as an apprentice of ForestClan even at the cost of your life?" She asked.
"I do." They all spoke loudly and with sureness.
"Then until you earn your warrior names you shall be known as Burstpaw, Mudpaw, and Petalpaw!" She called."
"Secondly, as many of you must know a loner came to our cam the other day. Her name was Cry. She will not be joining us yet, but she feels as if she may in the future and just wanted to check out what the clan was like." The clan nodded and seemed a little satisfied with this answer.
"Finally I would like Honeyblaze to organize two hunting patrols and a border patrol, that will leave camp soon after this announcement." Honeyblaze nodded and stayed close to her mate, smiling up at Leafstar.
"That is all! Clan dismissed." She leaped down, looking at almost every cat, her gaze lingered on the new cat, Wolfstorm for a moment before she turned and sat with Jaychaser.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Viperpaw sat alone, her golden eyes, flecked with silver, were cold and angry. She clawed at the dirt, her eyes unwavering.
"Still no friends?" Peakpaw's voice sounded all to kindly from behind her. "I'm not really surprised, without Nightstar scaring everyone into liking you, its useless for you to even think that you may get friends one day." He shook his head with a chuckle.
"Shut up Peakpaw." Her eyes burned, but again tears didn't come. She never cried. The one time she did Nightstar had slashed at her with her claws, making an ugly scar down Viperpaw's tail.
"You stupid flea-brain. You don't get it do you?" He laughed. "Everyone hates you." He shook his head. "Get used to it." He laughed with a bit of an evil ring to it.
"I SAID SHUT UP PEAKPAW!" Viperpaw yowled with rage and leaped at her brother, her claws out stretched to his next. She growled, she had enough of this. Every day, every time she tried to say something, he had been there, ruining it. Making others hate her every time. She dug her claws down into his shoulder, drawing blood from him. She snarled at him. The entire clan looked at her with a mix of terror and shock.
"Viperpaw." Acornpaw's soothing voice brought her back. She blinked wide eyed at Acornpaw, Blossompaw, and Fierypaw. They all looked at her with pity, they knew, everyone else looked at her like she was crazed. She hated both pity and the terror.
She let her claws off of her brother. She blinked, what had she done? Everyone stared at her. She turned to run.
"Run Viperpaw! You won't be allowed back!" Someone howled after her, and many snickers followed, then she heard the pity and sympathy that Peakpaw was getting. She could hear her littermates footsteps behind her. Finally the tears came, flooding her sight. She stopped and crumpled to the ground. Acornpaw, Blossompaw, and Fierypaw curled around her, and she wailed.
"Viperpaw We know. It's okay." Blossompaw's soothing voice purred.
"Blossompaw, she needs to let it out." Came Fierypaw's meow. They stayed like that for a long time, no one had come after them. She fell asleep there. She wasn't thinking of going back, and she wasn't sure if she would even be welcomed back.
"All cats old enough to catch their own prey join for a clan meeting beneath High Branch!" She yowled and the clan gathered, except for Viperpaw who sat on the edge of all the other cats, not daring to sit, talk, or even look at another cat.

Winds of Change (Finally Over)
Leafstar blinked over the carnage left behind by the battle. It was finally over, she had killed Nightstar, the only IronClan cats that were left were Darkshiver, Coonpetal, and Poisonpoppy. They all looked so shaken. She looked across the dead. There were not only dead IronClan cats, but Eagleheart, Freezestone, Brokenclaw, Heavyrumble, Swiftblizzard, Dropletshimmer, Vividpath, Sparrowcall, and Cloverslash were all in StarClan now. She shook her head and her eyes burned. It was such a waste of life, they were gone...But Nightstar could never hurt anyone ever again.
"It's over." Jaychaser's voice sounded cold and distant from behind her, she could only manage a small nod of her head. "We should get home." He muttered. His eyes dull when she turned to look at him, her own looked beaten and wrecked. She had lost the very cat that she had loved, Eagleheart, he was gone.
"Yes we should." She dared not utter another word, she feared that she would break. "FORESTCLAN WE MUST GO, THE BATTLE IS WON!" She yowled before she broke into an all out spring to get back to camp, her nerves were frayed and her senses were still on high alert.
By the time she reached camp she was already half asleep, she didn't bother to even look at her clan before she went into her den and fell fast asleep.
------------------------------------------------------------
Leafstar woke the next morning a bit groggy. She groomed the dried blood out of her pelt, her green eyes were dull and uncaring. But she had to announce to the clan. She ran gracefully to Twisted Tree, her paws carrying her swiftly. She leaped branch to branch with grace and agility. She stood on High Branch and looked down at her clan, hope flaring in her heart.
"All cats old enough to catch their own prey join for a clan meeting beneath High Branch!" She yowled loud and proud. The clan all gathered under her. "First off I have terrible new that has to be said Eagleheart, Freezestone, Brokenclaw, Heavyrumble, Swiftblizzard, Dropletshimmer, Vividpath, Sparrowcall, and Cloverslash are all in StarClan now." She hung her head low. "We saw no sign of Bumblestep after the battle, so we must assume that he to is dead." She sighed slowly. "Nightstar is dead." She called loudly, and the clan looked a little happier. All except for Viperpaw. A deep growl came from her.
"You killed my mother!" She howled at Leafstar.
"She was not your mother! She was your capture, she had no love for you!" she grew stern at the apprentice.
"You never knew her! You only took her life!" She flinched at her own words. "And what about Cricketkit!? She has no real mother now does she?!" She growled.
"Viperpaw! That is enough!" She finally snapped. "As said, Nightstar's daughter is with us now, her name is Cricketkit. She is be treated as any kit of our clan would be with love and compassion!" She howled and her clan nodded.
"The former medicine cat of IronClan, Poisonpoppy will not be staying with us and is moving on shortly to become a rouge, but she will return if we ever need her." The former medicine cat nodded. "Coonpetal and Darkshiver, Quickpad's siblings, are joining us as warriors today!" The clan cheered "Tigerpaw has returned to us, we are all grateful for his safe return!" The clan cheered loudly."Viperpaw, Acornpaw, Blossompaw, Peakpaw, and Fierypaw are all joining us, they were Wonderstar's kits and will be welcomed with open paws and hearts. Marshpaw is also joining, his mother is Quiverbreeze, their sister Rosepaw disappeared when the battle started." She hung her head.
"Finally on our way home we found some roaming cats that will be joining us! Wolfstorm, Moonblossom, Larkpaw and Willowpaw!" She called and the clan cheered. "Oh! I almost forgot, Goldenfurze is now expecting!" She called and the clan seemed to glow. "That is all! Clan dismissed!" She leaped down, her hope was barley restored but she kept her fake smile up, a mask against the world.

Winds of Change (To Take a Stand)
Leafstar sat on High Branch. Below her all the cats were getting ready, it was evening. Blue's, purples and other cool colors made waves through the sky, everything was peaceful. The moon would be out soon, and then the attack would begin, and the beautiful night would be shattered by battle cries. Her gaze swept across the clearing, her gaze lingering on a few cats. The frost clung to her fur tips. Kits played and the queens chatted, all had been wonderful in the clan. But tonight, everything would change, some may not come back. How many cats is she sending to their death, would they all come back? Thoughts raced through her mind, but her eye were darting from cat to cat, thinking about how that cat could die tonight.
"Looking for a mate Leafstar." Jaychaser's soft chuckle broke through her thoughtful trace and she turned to him with a light smile. He was so happy for a night where cats may not come back. How could he be like this? But she knew the answer, he was hiding it one hundred percent. His eyes gave him dead away.
"No more than you are." She flicked her tail side to side, something she did when ever she was nervous. They both had never had anyone special in their lives. All Leafstar had ever had was her daughter, but she was long since dead.
"I was surprised to find that you didn't have one already when I had come." He chuckled, he didn't like her or anything but he had expressed the fact he thought she was beautiful, and a very smart she-cat. She had thought he was kidding, but he had looked so serious when he had said it, for a moment she had thought that he had liked her, but he was like a little brother to her, and he didn't want a mate, no she-cat had ever even stood out to him, just like no tom had for Leafstar.
"Well I don't exactly have any friends." She sighed, it was true. No one ever really liked talking to her, she tended to get moody sometimes and others just didn't want to be around her.
"Yeah, after this whole battle we will fix that." He shook his head. He chuckled again.
"Okay Jaychaser." She laughed lightly, he was like a brother to her. She missed having a 'family'. "I have to announce that it's time to go..." She admitted and stood, the wind blowing her fur to her frame, chilling her to the bone. She shook, a shiver running up her spine. "Cats of the clan, gather beneath High Branch!" She called and the cats all gathered to below her. "It is time to leave! She called out, the wind threatening to blow her right off of the branch. she dug her claws into it's soft bark, frost stung her pads, and the cold wind stun her eyes, making them water a bit.
"Leafstar!" Quickpad's voice called out. "I need to tell something!" He yowled, his coal black eyes dark. "Only attack the cats that attack you! IronClan cat's are not totally loyal to her!" He called and cats all purred and whispered about how she was a bad leader. "Also I have been informed by my sister, Coonpetal, who still lives in IronClan, has told me that Tigerpaw is alive, waiting for someone to take him back, Rosepaw and Poisonpoppy, the medicine cats are not to be harmed. And finally that
EVERY kit in that entire clan needs to be taken here, IronClan will not be safe for them afterwards." She said with a low voice, but everyone still heard him. He pressed to his mate. Riseshadow shifted uncomfortably, she had already voiced her worry that the father of her unborn kits may not come back. Risheshadow drifted in and out of shadow form and Leafstar hoped that no one would see her doing that.
"As you wish Quickpad." She flicked her tail back and forth, the less fighting the better. "Everyone split up into your groups and say goodbye to those who are staying here to defend the camp!" She yowled and every cat did as they were told, saying goodbye.
"IT IS TIME TO GO!" She yowled, her eyes glittering, she leaped down to her group and they bounded out of camp, everyone seemed nervous but kept running, the moon was out, shimmering over head, this battle was going to be intense, she could tell. Claws were already sliding out, by the time they reached the border, the air seemed to spark.
Her paws felt as if they were going to bleed. But she kept running until they reached outside the camp, everyone sighed with relief as they slowed. The Eveningclan part of the battle party waited out behind the camp, they were going to wait until the battle started to appear.
She bounded into the camp, the rest of her battle party stayed behind. "Nightstar!" She yowled and Nightstar padded out of the leaders den, followed by the scent of milk, and the drowsy gaze of Bumblestep peering after her, quickly ducking back into the den.
"Leafsun!" She growled loudly, rage ripping from her chest.
"It's Leafstar actually." She answered, fake friendliness layered her voice.
"What do you want?!" She growled. "It's not like you and your mangy clan could stand a chance against all of us!" She yowled and her clan gathered around her.
"We thought it was time to take a stand." She purred with fake happiness as her own clan poured into the camp, their angry and hate filled stares burned at Nightstar.
"IRONCLAN ATTACK!" Nightstar
Leafstar battled with a large IronClan tom,the battle had begun. ForestClan was loosing badly, they were outnumbered. But at that moment Jaychaser came, his battle party closing in from behind. The battle raged and the clearing smelled of blood. Her claws ached as she ripped at a IronClan tom.
"Yeah, after this whole battle we will fix that." He shook his head. He chuckled again.
"Okay Jaychaser." She laughed lightly, he was like a brother to her. She missed having a 'family'. "I have to announce that it's time to go..." She admitted and stood, the wind blowing her fur to her frame, chilling her to the bone. She shook, a shiver running up her spine. "Cats of the clan, gather beneath High Branch!" She called and the cats all gathered to below her. "It is time to leave! She called out, the wind threatening to blow her right off of the branch. she dug her claws into it's soft bark, frost stung her pads, and the cold wind stun her eyes, making them water a bit.
"Leafstar!" Quickpad's voice called out. "I need to tell something!" He yowled, his coal black eyes dark. "Only attack the cats that attack you! IronClan cat's are not totally loyal to her!" He called and cats all purred and whispered about how she was a bad leader.

"Leafsun!" She growled loudly, rage ripping from her chest.
"It's Leafstar actually." She answered, fake friendliness layered her voice.
"What do you want?!" She growled. "It's not like you and your mangy clan could stand a chance against all of us!" She yowled and her clan gathered around her.
"We thought it was time to take a stand." She purred with fake happiness as her own clan poured into the camp, their angry and hate filled stares burned at Nightstar.
"IRONCLAN ATTACK!" Nightstar
Leafstar battled with a large IronClan tom,the battle had begun. ForestClan was loosing badly, they were outnumbered. But at that moment Jaychaser came, his battle party closing in from behind. The battle raged and the clearing smelled of blood. Her claws ached as she ripped at a IronClan tom.

Winds of Change (Battle Plans)
Leafstar gazed down at her camp, everyone seemed so happy, but it was time to take action, if they didn't soon, than Nightstar would learn of their swelling numbers and the surprise would be ruined! But gazing down at the camp she saw everyone looking so happy and joyful, how many of them wouldn't come back from the battle with IronClan that was fast approaching? She shook her head and padded to Flowheart's den. She peeked in to see Cloudspinner curled around her kits, asleep. And Flowheart sorting herbs.
"Flowheart?" She twitched her ears a bit tentatively.
"Yes Leafstar?" The she-cat purred nicely without turning around, still sorting.
"I need you to prepare as many herbs as you possibly can, were going to need them." She spoke softly and carefully. The medicine cat turned around a bit shocked.
"Leafstar, is something wrong?" She asked a bit worried, but the answer was clear enough.
"There will be nothing wrong after what is right is done." Her ears flattened against her head with anger. Flowheart only nodded and went back to sorting her hers, now more carefully and concentrated on what she was doing.
Leafstar padded back into the clearing and looked around. She looked at all the kits that were near the nursery, Sleetkit, Mossykit, Ripplekit, Frozenkit, Dappledkit, Snowkit and Berrykit. They were all SEVEN moons now! Her ears went up in shock, had she missed their sixth moon completely?! She growled at herself. She needed to announce so much now...She shook her head, everything was moving so fast! Her head spun and her paws felt as if they were to fall out from under her. On top of all the stress, Deepheart has been badgering her about getting a MATE of all things! She hadn't taken any interest in the toms, other than Eagleheart, but he was so distant and was with Cloudspinner by now, and also Applesplash had taken all the attention of every tom! She had too much on her mind to waste time day dreaming about kits and love.
She ran gracefully to Twisted Tree, her paws carrying her swiftly. She leaped branch to branch with grace and agility. She stood on High Branch and looked down at her clan, hope flaring in her heart.
"All cats old enough to catch their own prey join for a clan meeting beneath High Branch!" She called with pride and hope for her clan. Everyone came to gather, including the seven moon old kits! She sighed, and many apprentices that needed to be made into warriors she decided.
"We have much to talk about today! Good and bad! So lets start on a high note!" She purred happily. "First, Riseshadow is expecting Quickpad's kits!" She purred and the clan cheered at her. "Next we have some apprentices that deserve to be made warriors!" She purred loudly and happily.
"Would Flashpaw, Swiftpaw, Vividpaw, Ashpaw, Sparrowpaw, Goldenpaw, Foxpaw, Surgingpaw, and Cloverpaw all please step forward!" She called and every apprentice stepped forward happily.
"Do you all promise to uphold the warrior code, defend your clan to the best of you abilities. And fight for ForestClan till your dying breath?" Leafstar let her gaze look from apprentice to apprentice.
"I do." They all smiled up at her with pure adoration and happiness.
"Than by the powers StarClan has invested in my I will hail you by your warrior names, Flashpaw you will be known as Flashfire, StarClan honors your strength and your kindness and welcomes you as a full warrior of ForestClan. Swiftpaw, you shall be known as Swiftrain, StarClan honors your courage and brains and welcomes you as a full warrior of ForestClan." She purred happily to the two brothers and turned to Vividpaw.
"Vividpaw, you first wanted to be medicine cat and StarClan voiced it's disapproval. But I think that you were meant for so much more than a normal warrior. I offer you some solace for the loss of your dream by asking you if you would like to be both a nursery and medicine cat helper." She looked at the white apprentice who blinked in thought. "You don't have to answer me now, but I will still hail you by your new warrior name, from now on you shall be known as Vividpath, StarClan honors your skills and determination to learn new things and welcomes you as a full warrior of ForestClan." She purred at the white warrior.
She turned her focus back to the other apprentices that still had to be made into warriors. "Ashpaw, from this moment on you shall be known as Ashflick, StarClan honors your bubbly and fun personality and welcomes you as a full warrior of ForestClan! Sparrowpaw, from this moment on you shall be known as Sparrowcall, StarClan honors your resourcefulness and welcomes you as a full warrior of ForestClan. Goldenpaw, you shall now be known as Goldenfurze, StarClan honors your forgiveness and beauty and welcomes you as a full warrior of ForestClan. Foxpaw, you shall be known as Foxclaw, StarClan honors your loyalty and determination to follow the Warrior Code and welcomes you as a full warrior of ForestClan. Surgingpaw, you shall be known as Surgingstorm, StarClan honors your brute strength and self-determination. And finally, Cloverpaw, from this moment on you shall be known as Cloverslash, StarClan honors your determination to learn and your kindness and welcomes you as a full warrior of ForestClan." She finished, out of breath, but the new warriors all gazed up at her happily and the clan chanted their names.
"Joining these new warriors is Dropletshimmer, a new cat!" She called and the clan cheered again. "Also joining is an apprentice! But we have many new apprentices to name!" She called out.
"Skypaw, Ripplekit, Sleetkit, Frozenkit, Mossykit, Snowkit, Blossomkit, and Dappledkit please step forward!" She called out happily. All the cats did as they were told.
"Do you all promise to uphold the warrior code, defend your clan to the best of you abilities and obey me and your mentors at all times as long as it is in the best interest of the clan?" Leafstar let her gaze look from cat to cat.
"I do." They all nodded happily without any hesitation. Their eyes shimmered
"Than Skypaw your mentor will be me. Ripplekit, you shall be known as Ripplepaw, your mentor will be Dropletshimmer. Sleetkit, you shall be known as Sleetpaw, your mentor will be Honeyblaze. Frozenkit, you shall be known as Frozenpaw, your mentor will be Acornwing. Mossykit, you shall be known as Mossypaw, your mentor will be Flamestone. Snowkit, you shall be known as Snowpaw, your mentor will be Snowcrumble. Blossomkit, you shall be known as Blossompaw, your mentor will be Fleckshadow. And Dappledkit, you shall be known as Dappledpaw, your mentor will be Jaychaser." The new apprentices grinned with pride as they were moved up from kits, their eyes glowed.
"The final thing that I have to say is that we are going to battle!" She yowled loudly, so that every cat would know. "We will leave to attack IronClan camp in two sunrises!" She growled and cats cheered. "I have the battle already planned out she announced." The cats kept their gaze locked to her.
"The last piece of wonderful news is that Bluejay and Honeyblaze are now mates!" She purred happily and the rest of the clan did as well.
"Jaychaser will take all the former EveningClan cats to around the back side of the camp and attack from behind. The cats he is taking specifically are Fleckshadow, Honeyblaze, Bluejay, Icycloud, Badgerfrost, Shadowfrost, Goldenfurze, Foxclaw, and Surgingstorm." She nodded to the cats that she had called. "That mean Acornwing, Trembleglade, Applesplash, and Cloverslash are the ONLY former EveningClan cats, other then the kits, queens and elders that are NOT going into battle, but staying here to protect the camp." Everyone nodded and was aware of their place for now.
"I will lead the main attack, which is Eagleheart, Dizzysong, Brokenclaw, Freezestone, Heavyrumble, Hiddenmist, Riseshadow, Windsflash, Lionsound, Darkmist, Snowcrumble, and Dropletshimmer." She nodded to those cats. "That means that Morningpaw, Blackheart, Blizzardsight, Flamestone, Flashfire, Swiftrain, Vividpath, Ashflick, Sparrowcall, Skypaw, Ripplepaw, Mossypaw, Frozenpaw, Sleetpaw, Dappledpaw, Berrypaw, and Snowpaw are all staying in camp to defend what we have here!" She nodded to those cats as well. Everyone seems to accept the fact.
"Leafstar!" Quickpad growled loudly. His eyes flaring. "I will not allow Riseshadow to go into battle!" His claws slid out with anger. Leafstar nodded.
"Okay Quickpad, but than you will have to take her place." Quickpad nodded, anything to get is mate out of the fight, Riseshadow didn't seem to happy about this.
"If everyone is set on these plans than Clan Dismissed! Do everything you can to prepare!" She leaped down and padded alone, sitting in camp alone, before Deepheart came to talk to her.
"You may not come back from his, the blind she-cat muttered sadly. "You should get a mate before than." She purred and Leafstar laughed, it was funny how something so simple was so hard at the same time.
(ALL NEW WARRIORS HAVE TO GIVE ME THEIR CATS ADULT PICTURES. That means Flashfire, Swiftrain, Vividpath, Ashflick, Sparrowcall, Foxclaw, and Cloverslash! That is all thanks!)
"Flowheart?" She twitched her ears a bit tentatively.

"I need you to prepare as many herbs as you possibly can, were going to need them." She spoke softly and carefully. The medicine cat turned around a bit shocked.

Winds of Change (A New Start)
Riseshadow sat in camp, the two days after Wonderstar had died had actually been accompanied with good things, many cats were pleased and actually felt secure in the fact that EveningClan cats were joining them. Everyone seemed so glad that the whole, we were doomed thing is over.
A deep purred rumbled from beside Riseshadow, she turned to see her mate, Quickpad, he had come to the clan with Cloudspinner's kits Mudkit and Petalkit a few days after the attack, Leafstar had welcomed him openly, knowing that he was on their side. Mudkit and Petalkit seemed happy with all the new cats, and their mother was over-joyed to have them back, but still had heart-breaks every time she looked at them, saying that they reminded her too much of Bumblestep. But she had Eagleheart now, she was sure.
"Everything seems wonderful."Quickpad purred, Flowheart had just come back from the Moon Tree after being accepted by StarClan and had chosen Morningpaw to go with her as the medicine cat apprentice. Everything in the camp was blissful!
"All cats old enough to catch their own prey join for a clan meeting beneath High Branch!" Leafstar's voice called high and soothingly, no more was it deeply troubled. "First before EveningClan gets here I want to welcome Brokenclaw to us as a warrior!" She nodded to the tom cat who was sitting alone. "All of you must know by now that Morningpaw has been chosen as the medicine cat apprentice, and Flow has become Flowheart our medicine cat!" Sh called everyone cheering happily. "Then we have Mudkit and Petalkit joining, they are Cloudspinner's kits! May we thank StarClan that they are alive and well!" She yowled. her eyes dancing.
"When are EveningClan getting here?!" Cloudspinner called, she was recently restored to her former self, happy and kind. She was great friends with the medicine cat now, it made Riseshadow happy. Next to her Quickpad tensed, he didn't care for EveningClan, but secretly Riseshadow thought that he thought she was going to find someone that she liked more there. That would never happen!
"They should be here very soon actually!" She purred happily, she was very pleased with herself about the entire thing that her and Jaychaser had worked out. "That is all! Clan dismissed!" She yowled and the clan dissipated. Everyone still purring happily. Even the air was hopping and happy, it was warm for once!
It was about noon when the scents of EveningClan drifted through the clan. Everyone turned to the entrance as the first two padded through the entrance. One was a grey tom with piercing golden eyes and white paws and white flashed chest, the other a stunningly beautiful ginger tabby she-cat with green eyes that danced in the sunlight. Almost every tom fell to their knees when they saw the ginger tabby, she simply purred and her ears flushed a bit. They were followed by more, some warriors some kits and queens, there was even an elder! This was wonderful! She gazed at the toms, they were much more muscular than the ones here! Build for stalking through the night and stuff, as Quickpad followed her gaze he pressed to her, bristling. She licked his cheek lightly.
"You don't see me getting jealous over the she-cats that you are drooling over!" She hissed at him.
"But the only she-cat who any toms ever drool over here is you, or Cloudspinner." He chuckled lightly at her.
"Yeah, now I have to worry about her!" She motioned to the stunning she-cat.
Quickpad responded by licking her cheek lovingly. His eyes full of warmth and kindness that filled Riseshadow with love.
"Cats of EveningClan and ForestClan!" Leafstar called, and who Riseshadow guessed to be Jaychaser. "This is a great day in our clans history! We will merge and be strong, with the largest territory that anyone has ever seen!" She howled. "We will grow and stay strong together, make family ties, and make best friends." She called out happily.
"We will now be known as ForestClan!" This time Jaychaser spoke, loudly and clearly, his voice was like a whip that snapped through the cool air. "Our clans strengths will mingle, making us great!" He called. "But some of you toms may want to watch your oogling over Applesplash, she may just claw your eyes out." He chuckled loudly and set some tensions to rest, all attention turned to the small ginger tabby who just giggled.
"It's true." She shrugged with the cutest little smile.
"Finally I am changing deputy! Since Lionsound is one of our own, and we are making compromnises here, the head warrior of EveningClan, Honeyblaze, will be our new deputy! StarClan has already told me that this is the right path for us!" She yowled, but all the ForestClan cats howled angrily. "That is all! Everyone meet someone knew and share! Please! Clan dismissed!" Leafstar leaped down and joined the rest of the cats.
A deep purred rumbled from beside Riseshadow, she turned to see her mate, Quickpad, he had come to the clan with Cloudspinner's kits Mudkit and Petalkit a few days after the attack, Leafstar had welcomed him openly, knowing that he was on their side.
