Chapter 

1

Once lived a cat named Sun'Creek, born and raised in ShadowClan. He loved basking in the sun, but never thought of a life as an elder, with a mate and kits. He disliked WindClan the most. This came from anger and grief for his sister, Mallow'Patch. She mated with a WindClan warrior named Lynx'Claw. She died by giving birth to his kits, and the kits shortly died after but one kit survived. The kit who survived was a tiny tom kit whose name was snail kit.

He disliked Lynx'Claw, out of all the warriors in time. Every gathering he went to, he would sheathe and un-sheathe his claws out angrily. He could never forgive the tom. And in addition to that, Mallow'Patch was his only litter-mate. At night, WindClan had no queens at the time to take care of Snail'kit. It was a cold, harsh leaf-bare unlike most. Frost had wilted healing herbs, and prey was twice as scare as usual. This forced WindClan to give Snail'kit too ShadowClan.

So, one cold day in leaf-bare, Lynx'Claw went out to hunt alone. It seemed being alone kept his mind off of his kit, Snail'kit. As he ran across the moorland, his red gaze caught sight of a rabbit. It looked very scrawny, like only muscle and bone, but anything would most likely please his clan during such a cruel season. As he stalked his way towards it, he heard a leaf crunch. This made the rabbit aware of its surroundings, and that it was getting targeted.

But, as he went to sent a paw out, the rabbit was running. He ran like the speed of light. He knew he couldn't let his clan down. As he leaped and un-sheathed his claw, he felt a pain in his back. A pain that hurt so badly, it stopped the chase. but this was no natural pain, that would just ease away. It was a pain that would need the skills of a medicine cat. A pain like claws raking his spine. he turned around to see it was no natural pain, but a ShadowClan warrior in the heart of WindClan territory, attacking a WindClan warrior and their own land.

Lynx'Claw didn't know how to react. He had never lead a patrol, or even mentored an apprentice. He was only made a warrior one moon ago! Half of him urged him to fight back, but the other half told him to run to camp and find help. But he knew, that if he ran back to camp the ShadowClan warrior would have left by then. And he wouldn't risk that. So he un-sheathed his claws and swiped his claws at his opponents flank. He was moving so fast, he couldn't see his enemy's face. The only detail that he could sense is that this was a ShadowClan cat. After he clawed at his enemy, he knew he was already beat. Without stopping, he raced back to camp.

It took a moon, but finally Lynx'Claw got an apprentice. Her name was Shaded'Paw. She earned her warrior name quickly, Shaded'Roses, She was an excellent hunter, as well as fighter. She was a quick learner, and Lynx'Claw was every content, because he had done a great deed towards his clan, he gave them another new warrior, trained and ready for battle! But not only that, this gave him at chance at becoming deputy.

It was a night in ShadowClan. The sun was shining, there had been reports of many prey sightings. It had been 2 moons since leaf-bare passed, and it was now new-leaf. Sun'Creeks leader, Sparrow'Star had sent a hunting patrol with three ShadowClan warriors, and they had come back with many pieces of prey! It was a relief for new-leaf to appear again, especially when WindClan was on the verge of starving. As Sparrow'Star called a meeting, Sun'Creek heard his name be called.

That night was the night of the Gathering. Sparrow'Star had been calling warrior names that would go. Sun'Creek heard his name and got up from his sitting position. He walked to the camp entrance, as he heard apprentices bouncing up and down. It seemed every apprentice was exited for gatherings. Even if it wasn't their first time. So he headed for the camp entrance and followed the cats in-front of him.

The weather was chilly. Once every cat from every clan arrived, they went on saying what every clan leader would say. They reported prey running well, and some new apprentices as well as warriors. But then the leader of WindClan, Wilted'Star stepped forward, and started to report their news. "We have detected ShadowClan scents deep in out land..." Wilted'Star stated. "Anything you would like to say about this, Sparrow'Star?" Sparrow'Star replied...

..."I don't know what you WindClan warriors are up to, but ShadowClan has done no such thing!" The expression on Sparrow'Stars was furious. He looked like he almost couldn't interpret what he just heard. "Well, if you find out the warrior who keeps raiding our territory..." Said Wilted'Star. But Sparrow'Star replied, "B-But would any warrior really invade the heart of another clan's territory? Especially alone?" Well I can't think of anyone with that level of audacity, but WindClan knows that the area smelled with ShadowClan scent! Sparrow'Star hissed in anger. "Sparrow'Star, if you were not informed of this earlier, then it would be because the warrior who did raid out territory must be punished!"

But Sparrow'Star thought to himself. "But if i know my clan, it would be that none of the can really lie... but do i really know my clan?" He wondered. But then Wilted'Star interrupted his thoughts. "Well, If no one has anything to say, this gathering is over." He dipped his head over to the other leaders, and he walked over to his clan mates. Sparrow'Star told ShadowClan with a flick of his tail that they were leaving. He walked to his territory, and into his camp entrance.

New-Leaf had passed, and Green-leaf came. WindClan was now in better shape, thriving off of the plump rabbits they'd catch every hunting patrol. None of the cats of WindClan had caught green-cough, and even if they did, their medicine cat, Cherry'Spots, had a huge supply of catmint. But not all was well. The secret that their leader, Wilted'Star, had only one life left. Lynx'Claw9 thought to himself, "Our deputy, Dusk'Pelt is sick with yellow-cough, we don't have the cure and RiverClan wont give us their supply of lungwort, who will be deputy now?" 

Lynx'Claw padded over to the medicine cat clearing. He had belly-ache all night, it was most likely from the mouse he had eaten last night, when they arrived home from the Gathering. But when he reached the crevice where the herbs where stored, he heard a loud wail. "Dusk'Light is dead!", Cherry'Spots wail out loud. "What? No!" Coughed Wilted'Star. He had caught it after Dusk'Pelt had caught the sickness. "Who will be the new deputy now?" Said Cherry'Spots. 

I...I don't know, i need time to think.... Cherry'Spots couldn't believe it. I-I'm going to go talk to him... Said Lynx'Claw. As he walked over to Wilted'Stars den, He saw his dead mate, Mallow'Patch. She had no expression, and the stars where in her fur. She spoke, "It is your destiny..." And then faded away. He spoke not quietly, but not to quiet so his leader couldn't hear. "Wilted'Star,...

..."I know you might have been thinking who you will appoint deputy, but remember, you might be appointing a new clan leader." Lynx'Claw said un-easily. "What makes you say that?" Wilted'Star growled. "Is it because i have the sickness?" "i-i'm  sorry if iv'e offended you, Wilted'Star, but can't we just ask for the lungwort?" Lynx'Star asked in a curious tone. "We are WindClan warriors! We do not beg!" Wilted'Star growled angrily. Out, now. Obeying his leader, Lynx'Claw padded out of his den.

Cherry'Spots ran up to Lynx'Claw. "Will you come gathering herbs with me?" Sure i suppose...." Replied Lynx'Claw. So they went pst the hills, by the stream to. They arrived at the camp entrance, where Wilted'Star had just called a Clan Meeting. "Let all cats old enough to catch they own prey gather beneath the tall rock for a clan meeting! Once everyone was there in their spots, he started the meeting. "We all know the unfortunate passing of Dusk'Pelt, He served his clan well and StarClan will honor him for his bravery. But in addition, I must appoint a new deputy for WindClan.

"Lynx'Claw will be the new deputy, if he agrees." " i-i didn't think this would be happen.. Lynx'Claw thought to himself. "I am honored to be the deputy, and i will accept your offer, Wilted'Star." He mewed aloud. "Very well." Said Wilted'Star. This meeting is finished, may StarClan light your paths! As he watched his leader, Wilted'Star walk toward his den. He padded over to the fresh kill pile, where he then realized that Cherry'Spots hadn't eaten all day. So he picked up a rabbit and walked to the medicine cat den.

The sharp scent of herbs filled that air, He walked over to her and dropped the rabbit. "Would you like this?" Lynx'Claw asked her. "Oh my, Thank you!" Cherry'Spots said. "I haven't eaten all day, iv'e been sorting herbs incase...." Lynx'Claw replied,"Incase of what?" Cherry'Spots stopped wrapping the herb bundle, "Incase ShadowClan attacks." "Tensions are already hard between the clans. Why make them harder?" Said Lynx'Claw. "i don't know, but i heard ShadowClan warriors talking to Shaded'Rose. They said they were planing an attack" Said Cherry'Spots, closing her eyes, giggling. "Their no smarter than apprentices!"

"So true! Anyways, Il'l leave you to sorting herbs!" Mewed Lynx'Claw. "Bye!" Yowled Cherry'Spots as he padded out of her den. "If ShadowClan is planning a n attack, i must tell Wilted'Star. So he trotted over to his leaders den. "Hello Lynx'C-Claw. His leader was getting no better from the sickness. "Why have you come to my den?" Lynx'Claw replied, "Cherry'Spots thinks ShadowClan might attack, i mean, the tensions are high enough..." "Nonsense, they are weak, you saw his leader at the gathering, sick, scrawny, and only one life left" he snarled.

"But Wilted-" Lynx'Claws was soon cut off by Wilted'Stars voice. "I know i have one life left. I'll use it wisely, as an honorable leader, dying for his clan, but we can't allow ThunderClan to attack! If they attack us..." He coughed. If Wilted'Star doesn't find a cure for this sickness, he wont be able to use his last life the way he said... Lynx'Claw thought to himself. "you are dismissed." Growled WIlted'Star, as if he could read his mind.

It was now leaf-bare. ShadowClan was weak. They had found no prey, and Sparrow'Star sent another hunting patrol, still nothing. "Sparrow'Star.." Said Sun'Creek. "I know, Rainbow'Cloud is dead and i must appoint the new deputy soon, Iv'e thought long and hard about this decision, but i know who it will be. I'll call the clan meeting right now." Said Sparrow'Star. He looked twice as smaller than Sun'Creek, and as he wondered who would be the new deputy, he felt fear gurgling inside of him.

"Let all cats old enough gather beneath the pine-branch for a clan meeting!" Sparrow'Star's yowl was soon cut off by him coughing. He's not getting any better.... Sun'Creek thought to himself. "He served us all well, but sadly, Rainbow'Cloud is dead, and we must appoint a new deputy." "The new deputy will be Cheddar'Loaf." Meowed Sparrow'Star. "I-it's truly an honor, and i accept." Said Cheddar'Loaf, her voice was still filled with disbelief. and happiness 

Sun'Creek growled. "Why would you make Cheddar'Loaf deputy?!" He thought to himself. He padded towards his leaders den. "Permission to enter your den, Sparrow'Star?" asked Sun'Creek. "Very well." Mewed Sparrow'Star. "Sparrow'Star, i want to talk to you..." said Sun'Creek. "Is it about the new deputy Cheddar'Loaf?" he rasped. Sparrow'Star was still sick, he looked even weaker then before.

"Y-yes.... why did you make Cheddar'Loaf deputy, and not a more, say, experienced warrior?" Said Sun'Creek. "Bec-cause, Cheddar'Loaf, has many skills. She has tactics no cat has thought of before, and an unbending loyalty. The Clan must remain strong, and i am too old and weak. The clan is an eternal thing. I am not." Mewed Sparrow'Star in a sickly voice. Cheddar'Loaf is strong, sweet and kind. S-She will make a better leader than m-me..." 

As Sparrow'Star spoke, Sun'Creek realized blood had been trickling from his mouth. Sparrow'Star's skin turned paler and paler. But then, suddenly, his leader slumped to the floor. Sun'Creek yowled "Help! Sparrow'Star is dead!". "No, no, no, no! He can't be dead!" Yowled the ShadowClan medicine cat, Marigold'Stream. The She-cat rushed tot he leaders den, with a wrapped leaf in her jaws.  "W-what happened? said Sun'Creek, with astonishment in his voice. "H-he had green-cough. a-and no one new..." said Marigold'Stream.

It was a night in ShadowClan. "Ill race you to the Burnt Sycamore Yarrow'Paw, but you have to touch it!" yelled Snail'Paw. He had been an apprentice for moons,  and no   doubt he would be a warrior soon, along side Yarrow'Paw, his den-mate. "3, 2, 1, go!" yelled Snail'Paw. He ran as fast as a could, Yarrow'Paw was close at his tail. But then, she fell! "Oomph!" said Yarrow'Paw, as she thudded into the bush. Then, Snail'Paw stretched out his paw and touched the tree. "I win!" he shouted with triumph in his voice.
