Chapter 12
When Moonclaw climbed up onto one of the prongs of the four-pronged rock, Sharpstar said, "Where is Dolphinstar?"
"She and Currentstripe are in StarClan," Moonclaw said, looking st her paws. She sent a glare at her cats that meant 'Don't tell them what actually happened.'
"I'm sorry to hear that," Sharpstar told her. Eaglestar and Darkstar echoed this.
"Darkstar, why don't you go first?" Eaglestar suggested. Darkstar nodded.
"There is a small shortage of prey in NightClan, but it's recovering. Lightningpaw, Forestpaw, Branchpaw, and Hawkpaw are now warriors that go by the names of Lightningthorn, Forestspring, Branchfall, and Hawkthistle. Other that that, no news. Eaglestar, your turn."
"Marshwing has joined StarClan. No other news. Your turn, Moonstar."
Moonclaw didn't comment on the fact that technically she was still Moonclaw; she hadn't received her leader name yet.
"Sunstreak is my new deputy. Foxpaw and Rainpaw are now Foxpelt and Raintail. But something...interesting happened the other day, Sharpstar. Before I was leader. Me, Foxpaw, Hazelpaw, and Brinepelt were out on a hunting patrol near the center of our territory, and we were ambushed by StoneClan warriors. Six of them. Your deputy, Pebblefur. And Boneshard, Rockthorn, Snaketalon, Vipertooth, and Stormmuzzle."
Sharpstar looked shocked and furious. That was real. He hadn't known about the ambush.
"Pebblefur. Is this true?" he demanded. Pebblefur said nothing, but the look on his face said everything.
"Pebblefur, Boneshard, Rockthorn, Snaketalon, Vipertooth, and Stormmuzzle. You have all broken the warrior code, and for the next moon, you are all rouges. You will stay inside StoneClan territory. No one will hunt for you. For the next moon, you forfeit all of your honor." Sharpstar snarled.
"Sharpstar, it's your turn." said Darkstar.
"Other than the fact that those fox-hearted cowards broke the warrior code, StoneClan is fine. But FireClan has been stealing our fresh-kill!" Announced Sharpstar.
"No, we haven't!" Yowled Eaglestar, but his and some of the other's shifty looks gave them away.
"Have too!" Yelped Sharpstar.
"We have perfectly fine rabbits and mice. Why would we want your scaly prey?" Eaglestar snapped.
"Almost every patrol I send out reports seeing chasing a FireClan warrior off of our territory with a snake in their mouth!" Sharpstar growled.
"Enough! Look at the moon! StarClan is angry!" Moonclaw said. As the two leaders stopped yelling, the clouds that had threatened the moon vanished.
"This Gathering is dismissed." snarled Eaglestar.
