Book 2 - Chapter 6

Blossompaw  spoke  first. "I left to join my mentor," she mewed nodding to Windshadow. Spottedfur said "My father is on Darkfinch's side and I went to join him." "I couldn't leave Spottedfur alone as the only queen so I went with her," said Snowhare. Windshadow spoke up "Darkfinch is a better leader then you will ever be." Echomist, and Sandswish nodded. Tigerstar bristled. Reedriver said "Darkfinch needs us more then you."  Tigerstar puffed out his fur. "FINE go then! Leave the clan." Tigerstar stalked down the hill and called to the assembled clan ,"Please say good bye to your clan mates they are no longer apart of our clan." The clan gasped. Blossompaw sighed. "GO" Commanded Tigerstar. Darkfinch padded away his new recruits following. Tigerstar eyed Blossompaw she hadn't padded after the others. "Blossompaw who's side are you on?" asked Tigerstar. "I don't know anymore." whimpered Blossompaw. "Stay here then." said Tigerstar. Blossompaw nodded. "I need a new mentor." Said Blossompaw. "So do I," said Rushpaw. Tigerstar nodded then said "Where is Morningflower, Milkfur and Rushpaw?" "I saw them" spoke up Seedpaw. "Where are they?" asked Berryfur. Seedpaw trembled. "They snuck out of clearing and followed Darkfinch. They were saying something about going so they could heal their clan mates." The clan stared at Seedpaw. Only Tigerstar seemed to figure out what had happened. He looked about at his clan before speaking. "Deputies please take 2 other cats and scout the territory. Queens please take the kits back to the nursery. Senior Warriors trot around the edge of the marsh. If there is anything we must move. Darkfinch has cats from our group. Cats that know our weaknesses, strengths and fighting techniques. Darkfinch is probably learning our fighting strategies right now."
