Book 1 - Chapter 4

"This will be to easy," snarled Darkfinch. "It is to easy" "What is to easy?" asked Ashflower padding forward. "Killing every clan. We already obliterated the other clan." "Waterclan?" "Yes," snarled Darkfinch. Oceanstar looked around at the other leaders. He then said, "Hollowberry, Morningflower and Emberberry go see if you can heal any living cat left in Waterclan. Troutsplash, Sparrowfur and Greenwhisker take another cat and see if you can help Waterclan in anyway." The named cats raced out of the hollow. "STOP THEM!" yowled Darkfinch. "Blackstorm, Grayfur, Dawnpaw, Nightfur, Darktail, Tigerlight, Liontail, Hawkpelt after them," ordered Darkfinch. Redstar began to speak. "Kits, apprentices and elders stay in the nursery. Queens right up next to the nursery and warriors in front of them." Dawnstar gave the command. "Fishclan, Mossclan, and Riverclan attack!" "Attack," screeched Darkfinch. Halfway through the battle Darkfinch twitched his tail and a young cat (probably a paw) raced out of the camp and returned with a fresh wave of cats. They fell on the cats with a screech. Oceanstar had seen and had enough. "STOP!" he yowled. Oceanstar was furious. "WHY DID YOU ATTACK US?" Oceanstar screeched. "Because," Darkfinch said. "BECAUSE WHY?" snapped Oceanstar. "Because I could," Darkfinch replied. "I know why," said Blossom tentatively. "I was apart of their group and Darkfinch said in a few moons we will be attacking the clans that threw me out. He attacked us because his clan exiled him." "GO! GET OUT OF OUR CAMP RIGHT NOW.  CEDARFUR, BERRYFUR, MOSSFUR AND SPOTTEDFUR ESCORT THEM RIGHT NOW! MAKE SURE THEY LEAVE!" The cats chosen got up and herded the unwanted cats out of the camp. "Ashflower go to the Riverclan camp and see what is going on there." said Dawnstar. Ashflower nodded and raced out of the camp. "Now," said Oceanstar. "Before we were interrupted I was going to make a warrior. Cloudpaw come forward. You tracked a badger and showed it how fierce Fishclan cats can be. I name you Cloudsplash. I honor you fierce fighting skills into Fishclan. Also I need to make 3 apprentices. Snowkit, Breezekit and Fernkit come forward. Snowkit your name will now be Snowpaw I have chosen Hollyflower as your mentor. Sandswish I know you will pass on all you know to Breezepaw. Aspenwish I know your hunting skills will show in Fernpaw." Greenwhisker padded into the camp. "Oceanstar Waterclan has asked for permission to stay with us. Darkfinch destroyed their herbs and they have no way of getting to the fresh herbs on the other side of the territory. I have give them permission to stay with us." Oceanstar's eyes narrowed. He hissed, "You had no right to give them permission to stay. I am still clan leader of this clan. I did not give you permission to tell them you could stay. You disobeyed me. You have no right to the rank of senior warrior anymore. Get out of my sight," Oceanstar snarled.

Book 1 - Chapter 3

"Troutsplash why are you here and not in your camp." asked Oceanstar. "WE NEED HELP!" yowled Troutsplash. "Some humans are tearing down our camp. We got all of our cats out but we need a place to shelter. Can we stay here?" "Why not ask a different clan." growled Oceanstar. "We did," said Troutsplash. "Ashflower went to Waterclan and she said they refused to help her. Then Hollowberry went to Mossclan and said there was nobody there." Troutsplash blinked and realized that the Mossclan cats were in the Fishclan camp. "So Dawnstar sent you here," snapped Tigerstripe. Troutsplash nodded. "We are already sheltering one clan. But I suppose if you are desperate you can stay." "Thank you Oceanstar," said Troutsplash and he raced off to fetch his clan. Soon the Riverclan cats flooded into the Fishclan camp. "Let all cats old enough to climb a tree join here beneath the Birch tree for a clan meeting," called Oceanstar. "Now it might be a little crowded since we are sheltering two clans but we will manage. Now we need to send out patrols." "Windshadow take Blossompaw on a tour of the territory. Dawnstar, Redstar please meet Oceanstar in his den. Dragonwhisker take 2 other cats and go on a hunting patrol. Mousetail, Darkflower and Sparrowfur go on another hunting patrol. Whisperwind take 3 Riverclan cats and show them the territory take Rushpaw with you so he can look for herbs. Flowerfur take 3 Mossclan cats and show them the territory. Apprentices from all clans please go gather moss we will need to make more nests. Kits please stay in the nursery out of the way. Silverfrost and Mossfur go with Tawnybird and Mintpaw to help Emberberry get herbs. If any cat needs anything come to me." Tigerstripe climbed the path up to Oceanstar's den. "Oceanstar?" "Come in," called Oceanstar. Tigerstripe acknowledged each of the leaders with a dip of his head. "I think it is time to make Fernkit, Snowkit, and Breezekit an apprentice. Also I heard that Cloudpaw did very well when tracking a badger the other day. I think the clan will be lucky to have his as a warrior." Oceanstar nodded. "Oceanstar," began Dawnstar. "I need to make a warrior of my own. May I?" Oceanstar nodded. "I need to make an apprentice," said Redstar. Once again Oceanstar nodded. Oceanstar leapt up into the birch tree and was followed by Dawnstar and Redstar. He yowled, "Let all cats old enough to climb a tree join here underneath the birch tree for a clan meeting." The cats filed out of their dens. "Dawnstar, Redstar and I have some news to share. Dawnstar would you like to go first?" said Oceanstar. She nodded. "I Dawnstar leader of Riverclan present an apprentice who was shown her skill and courage and I name her Mintclaw. She sensed the humans coming near our camp first and I welcome her as a warrior of Riverclan." Redstar stepped forward. "Rowankit has reached the age limit and it is his turn to learn the ways of a Mossclan warrior. Sparrowfur I know you will make him the best warrior he can be." Sparrowfur nodded. Oceanstar began. "I have a job to do today-y-y." He was cut off as Sagewind of Riverclan yowled, "There is some cat outside the hollow." Then Darkfinch (the loner who wanted revenge on the clans) and his cats burst into the hollow.

Book 1 - Chapter 2

"Well?" "Please Oceanstar we were still recovering from green cough when the cats attacked. Half of my clan couldn't fight back." "Alright." meowed Oceanstar. "Just until you are better though." "Thank you Oceanstar." Hollowstripe mewed respectfully. "Cedarfur, Berryfur, Birchtail and Shadowleaf go with them and see if they need help. Hollowstripe go with them." Mossclan arrives. "Redstar," said Oceanstar with a dip of his head. "Let all the cats old enough to climb a tree join here beneath birch tree for a clan meeting." All the cats padded over."Now," began Oceanstar, "Mossclan has come to stay with us for a while. But since this is our territory you will have to obey what we say. If we tell you to stay in camp will you do that Mossclan?" "Repeat after me," said Redstar to his cats. "Yes Oceanstar we understand that we are on your territory and will do exactly what you want us to do." The cats repeated it. Oceanstar continued. "Now since there are twice as many cats as normal I need the Mossclan cats to participate in patrols." The Mossclan cats nodded. "Now Tigerstripe please organize the patrols." Tigetrstripe started organizing patrols. "Birchtail and Berryfur take Cloudpaw and Seedpaw hunting. Emberberry you can collect herbs but please tell me first. Redstar please go talk to Oceanstar. Cedarfur and Aspenwish take Ashpaw and patrol the Riverclan boundary. Shadowleaf and Sandswish take Nightpaw and even though the Mossclan cats are in our camp we still need to patrol their boundary. Morningflower I know that Emberberry wanted to see you. Littlepaw are you a warrior apprentice or medicine cat?" "Medicine Cat." "Then go with Morningflower too. Mumblefur the elders den is the hollow log over there. Darkflower can you take Echomist to the nursery. Mistkit you can show Rowankit around the camp." Tigerstripe was still speaking when Troutsplash the Riverclan senior warrior burst into the camp.
