~2~ Chapter 1
It was the third day of the clans living at the gathering place. Most cats hostilities towards eachother had fallen.
The eight kits could be seen playing amongst the roots under the lightning tree.
The Greypaw and Daisypaw could be seen training together at the edge of the hollow.
The two queens stood together and chated Gingerfrost padded over to them belly swollen with kits.
The warriors were gathering in patrols to provide food for all the cats.
Snowspots and Trouttail called to the two apprentices to come hunting with them. The she-cats ran over immediately.
Greypaw walked beside Daisypaw as they headed into FlameClan territory. Neither of them lived in FlameClan so for them it was an adventure. They hopped about giggling before Trouttail turned and looked at them.
"Be quiet!" He hissed, "Or you'll scare all the prey away!"
Both apprentices ducked their heads afraid of the warrior.
Graypaw stopped and scented the air as the patrol spread out to hunt.
She started to follow the scent trail of a shrew when a cat cut in front of her.
"I'm trying to hunt!" She said exasperated but the only response she got was claws slashing her throat.
***************
Blacktoe was hunting with a couple groups of cats further in FlameClan territory.
The groups had split up and he was hunting alone. Suddenly he was attacked. He swatted at the cat almost missing. His outstretched claws pulled out some dark fur but the murderer had the upper hand. As they had snuck up on him.
They tore out his throat before disappearing into the trees.
***************
Cats came running back to the hollow most bearing prey but two cat's were being carried back.
Ashtuft and Stormclaw raced over anguished.
The whole of FlameClan bowed their heads as the two were placed gently in the center of the hollow.
Little did they know there was one more death to come tonight.
As the cats began to eat one cat started to gag. Brackenpatch fell to the ground foam coming from his mouth.
"She's been poisoned!" Snowspots cried sadness making his voice crack as he watched his sister die.
The clans became frantic as they looked around.
"Graypaw was scared of Trouttail!" Daisypaw cried.
"Oakpelt is big enough to kill Blacktoe." Cloudgazer said looking at Oakpelt anger in his eyes.
"Shardheart never got along with Brackenpatch!" Specklerunner said looking over at Shardheart.
Shardheart quieted the clans by yowling, "Fools. I am the BreezeClan leader."
The cats gasped in shock as they looked at Shardstar.
The cats turned their heads towards Trouttail and Oakpelt.
"We should vote." Shardstar said commandingly.
