Book 6 - Chapter 2

"What?" demanded Berrystar. Seedwhisker padded forward. "Do you think that we are going to give you some of our warriors?" Darkfinch turned and growled at the golden warrior. Seedwhisker crouched and looked up at the black cat. "Do you agree or do we have to fight you in the end?" "I agree but do you choose the cats you get?"   "Yes we do." "Alright who are you choosing?"  "Dustkit, Aspenwish, Dapplepaw, Ashcloud, Littlemouse and Hollyflower." The cats stared. "Fine." The cats padded away. "I need to appoint a new senior warrior apparently. Sandswish is now the senior warrior. Congratulations."  Sandswish stepped forward. "Thank you." Berrystar nodded. "Serafina, what are you doing here in the first place?" "Remember your deal with the cat?" The cat that had been sitting in the snow had reappeared. "I am an ancestor of yours and I can see what your future will bring if you choose either option. The will be great destruction. You homes will be destroyed your clan will fall. There will be one cat left standing. Depending on who that cat is Fishclan could remain and live for moons after or it could be obliterated completely. The choice is yours." "What do you mean?" "I mean say for example in a few moons only Berrystar is left of Fishclan. Berrystar could recreate Fishclan and let it live on or he could abandon his true nature and Fishclan would never be heard of again. Berrystar of course might not be the cat left. It could be any of the cats." Fishclan cats were nodding. "What do we do now?" asks Ashstorm. Berrystar was about to reply when he was interrupted by Sparrowfur's screech. We fight the badgers at the edge of the mountains." "What?" Every cat turned and there was loads of badgers all with sharp teeth and long claws plunged towards the sitting clan.
