Prologue:
Flowingwater knew something was up the second the Snakeclan deputy showed up. "What are you doing here?" He growled. He felt the rest of the patrol tensing, ready for a fight.
"I'm just here to talk to Rainstar. Clawstar has requested a meeting with all clan leaders." Aspenthorn said cooly. He lashed his tail menacingly and stared challengingly into Flpwingwater's eyes. "So, are you going to take me to him, or am I going to have to force you to?" He said with a menacing grin.
Hes dangerous... Even when it's three against one... He may have other warriors with him.... Just out of sight... Flowingwaters thought.
"Well if you just want to talk, I don't see why not!" One of the warriors on the patrol said cheerfully. Flowingwaters groaned. Dizzystep... he thought. The she cat had only just become a warrior and frankly, most cats were surprised they didn't just kick her out. She had horrible judgement and trusted too quickly. Not to mention that she got her name for a reason...
"We can't just-" he began to object.
"Listen to your warrior! She's a smart one... It'd be a shame if something... Happened to her." Aspenthorn grinned. There it was. The threat of a life. Flowingwaters sighed. He won't play nice for long... If he's at camp, he'll be outnumbered... Perhaps we could... he thought with a sigh. He pricked his ears and stared at Aspenthorn in the eyes. "Alright, but if you try something, then Ill shred you." He growled. Aspenthorn grinned in triumph. Flowingwaters began to lead everyone to camp.
...
"What did he want?" Flowingwaters asked padding up to his leader. A patrol had left to escort Aspenthorn back out of the territory.
"As he said, Clawstar requests a meeting..." Rainstar sighed.
"Are you going?" Flowingwaters asked.
"I fear that I may have no choice..." Rainstar sighed.
"Who will you take with you?" Flowingwaters asked.
"He said that I had to come alone... So no one..." Rainstar said.
"What?! You know as well as I do those cats can't be trusted! They probably will kill you!" He growled.
"I might have to take that chance... They always seen to know if you break a rule you know... It may end worse if I take a warrior..." Rainstar sighed.
"But-!" Flowingwaters bagan to object but Rainstar cut him off.
"I am leader here. Not you. I go alone." He said before storming off.
...
Flowingwaters waited warily for his leader to return His mate, kits and clanmates were all fast asleep. Not Flowingwaters though. He had a bad feeling.... Suddenly Rainstar padded into camp. He glanced around with a smile before padding up to Flowingwaters. "What are you still doing up?" He asked smiling.
"I was worried... What did Clawstar want?" Flowingwater meowed pricking his ears.
"Oh, him? It was nothing at all... Nothing at all..." Rainstar said smiling. "By the way, I forgot, old age and all, where do I usually... Call for a clan meeting?" He asked casually.
"Umm... The great rock... Why?" Flowingwaters asked worridly. Rainstar ignored him and leapt up to the high rock.
"Let all cats old enough, gather beneath the... This rock for a clanmeeting!" He called.
The warriors began to sleepily pad out. "I know it's very late but there is an announcement. Flowingwaters will no longer be deputy!" Rainstar said cheerfully. A gasp of shock ran through the croud of cats. Some warriors turned thier head to look at the former deputy. Flowingwaters stared in horror, disbalief, devistation, and shock at the same time.
"W-... What? W-why?!" He demanded.
"You have failed me as deputy. Now, our new deputy shall be... Dancystep!" Rainstar yowled. The cats glanced around in confusion.
Suddenly a cat called out in horror. "You meen... Dizzystep?!" They asked.
"Oh, yes! My mistake, sorry, Dizzystep shall be our deputy!" Rainstar yelled. Dizzystep watched in cheerfulness and confusion. No cat cheered for her. They all sent her glares and gasps of disbalief. Dizzystep, the most unqualified cat ever, as deputy? Something was wrong with this picture.
After the next few days, Rainstar went off for a walk, only to turn up later dead. It was pure horror to the clan. Not only was their leader dead, but Dizzystep would now be leader.... Dizzystep looked at the body carefully.
"This isn't right..." SHe muttered under her breath. "This doesn't make sense..." She whispered before she was dragged away to claim her nine lives. She came back as Dizzystar and made Flowingwaters her deputy. At least she did something right. She was leader for about a moon.... Then things began to go crazy....
part 1:
Dizzystar sat in camp watching her clanmates. She knew they didn't respect her. She sighed and closed her eyes.
Flowingwaters padded up from behind her. "You're leading the hunting party if that's ok with you." He muttered. He lashed his tail and glances away.
He should be leader now... not me... Dizzystar thought. she nodded quietly, "Who shall I take?" she asked.
"You can take Risingfire and Creekpaw. Creekpaw can use some extra hunting practice... No offence." Flowingwaters said. He turned around and padded off to the nursery. Probably to see his kits.
Dizzystar looked down at her paws. "None taken..." she whispered quietly. She looked up and forced a cheerful face. She padded over to Risingfire, but tripped over her own paws. She landed on her face with a thud. "Owch..." she muttered in embarrassment.
Risingfire and Streakstripes looked down at her. "You ok Dizzystar?" Streakstripes asked sighing.
"Umm... yes. I'm fine!" Dizzystar said hopping back up to her paws. "Risingfire, you, me and Creekpaw are going hunting." she said pricking her ears.
"Alright. You get Creekpaw, and I'll wait for you by the camp entrance." Risingfire said with a sigh before padding away.
Dizzystar nodded and padded off towards the apprentice's den. "Creekpaw! We're on hunting duty!" she called. A moment later, a light gray tom poked his head out.
"Alright." yawned Creekpaw. He padded out completely and stretched. "Lets go!" he said cheerfully.
Dizzystar and Creekpaw padded towards Risingfire. "Ready?" Dizzystar asked.
The two toms nodded and the trio set out.
Meanwhile...
Nightstar sat in his den thinking. This wasn't unusual, for he usually did this daily, but recently he had hardly left his den at all, not since his warriors came back to report that Rainstar had been killed. What was more puzzling was that he had replaced his own deputy with an ignorant, clumsy cat right before he had died.
Most cats would wonder why he would know so much of this, since Mystclan hardly ever comes to a gathering, or is even seen by other clans. Many cats have even died without ever seeing one of the ferocious, mysterious warriors of Mystclan.
Most will not know of Mystclan, but Mystclan had eyes everywhere. That's why Nightstar also knew of Rainstar meeting the other leaders before he began acting strangely.
"There must be a connection... If only I'd sent warriors to watch their meeting... I'd know for sure..." Nightstar growled.
Suddenly a black tom padded into the den. "Nightstar?" he called.
Nightstar glanced over at the tom. "What is it Shadowwing?" he asked.
Shadowwing shuffled his paws uncomfortably. "The clan is beginning to worry... You haven't come out in days. What's troubling you?" Shadowwing asked. "Is it Amberflare again?"
"No... it's not Amberflare this time... It's the Rainstar business. Doesn't it sound... off to you?" he asked his deputy.
"It is strange, but what does it have to do with anything?" Shadowwing asked curiously.
"Something happened during that meeting with Clawstar... I'm sure of it, but what could it have been? I should have sent a patrol to find out what it was about. Now he and Emeraldstar are having meetings as well and we don't know anything... I feel as though we may be at war soon..." Nightstar sighed
"Why? The other clans are too cowardly to challenge us, and what does a few meetings between the other clan leaders have to mean that they are planning war?" Shadowwing challenged.
"I just have a feeling..." Nightstar sighed.
"Well when your "feeling" becomes proof, you know where to find me!" Shadowwing growled and padded out of the den.
back to the patrol...
Dizzystar padded along with her clanmates.
Risingfire scented the air for prey. "Creekpaw and I will try by the stream. You can try by the sky tree." he said.
Dizzystar nodded and padded off towards the sky tree. "I thought I was supposed to lead the patrol..." she whispered. She tripped over her paws twice on the way there.
When she reached sky tree, she scented a cat from another clan. "Show yourself!... Um, please?" she said unsurely.
Two cats padded out to greet her. "Dizzystar! We were waiting for a patrol, but this is even better!" One of the cats said grinning.
Snakeclan! Dizzystar thought. "W-what do you want?" she demanded.
"We're here to deliver a message. Clawstar wants to see you at the gathering place. Moonhigh. Come alone." The snowy white tom growled.
"And if I don't come?" Dizzystar asked.
"I'm sure your going to come." the other tom growled.
The two cats padded away and Dizzystar slowly padded back towards camp. Flowingwaters padded up to meet her.
"Where have you been? Creekpaw and Risingfire came back ages ago! Don't tell me you didn't catch anything?! Where were you?" Flowingwaters demanded.
Dizzystar felt anger prick her pelt. "I don't have to answer to that. I'M clan leader and YOU are the clan deputy. I am ranked above you. I don't have to answer to YOU!" She hissed. She lashed her tail and stormed off to her den. She's made her decision. She would go to meet Clawstar, and she wouldn't tell Flowingwaters that she was.
"He's just challenge me again. Act like he's leader and I'm just some little kit! Rainstar made me leader! I can make my own decisions! she thought angrily.
Dizzystar padded out of her den. She glanced up at the dark sky. It was time for the meeting.
"Nightstar!" A yowl sounded outside Nightstar's den.
Nightstar quickly padded out into the clearing. "What is it? What has happened?" he demanded.
"It's Clawstar again, he has requested a meeting with Dizzystar!" A silver tabby she cat gasped.
"The new Bumbleclan leader? When?" Nightstar asked. His eyes narrowed into slits.
"Moonhigh." The silver tabby said.
Nightstar glanced at the sky. He didn't have much time... He had to act quickly. He couldn't miss this one... "Where is it?" he asked.
"Gathering place."
Nightstar nodded. "Find Shadowwing and have him send a patrol. I'm going alone for the moment. Hurry." Nightstar said urgently and leapt out of camp.
Little did either of the young leaders know, that this meeting would change both their lives.
part 2:
Clawstar glanced up at the moon. The battle-scarred leader sighed in impatience.
"We must bide our time. You did order Shift to pick the most incompetent cat as leader. Her lateness only shows that he did well..." A Gray she cat said. Her dark green eyes narrowed. "Be patient. She'll come."
"I know that." Clawstar growled. "But her deputy is smart... If she told him about this..." Clawstar trailed off.
"He didn't trust you last time but did nothing. Why should this be any different? Now hush. The pathetic piece of prey is here." the she-cat said motioning to the rustling bushes.
Nightstar watched leaped onto a branch. He glanced down at the two cats with interest.
So Emeraldstar is here too... he thought. He lashed his black tail silently as he watched a brown tabby cat leap out of the bushes. Dizzystar... He realized.
"Hello Clawstar. Emeraldstar? You're here too?" The Bumbleclan leader asked puzzled.
"Yes. Emeraldstar and I have a... request for you." Clawstar said carefully.
"Huh?" Dizzystar tipped her head to one side. "Request?"
"An alliance. We want Bumbleclan as our ally." Emeraldstar said.
This can NOT be good.... Nightstar thought.
"Alliance? For what?" Dizzystar asked curiously. "Don't get me wrong, I'm all for an alliance, but why?"
"We're taking Mystclan out of the forest. We would like your assistance with that." Emeraldstar said calmly.
I knew it...! Nightstar thought. He gritted his teeth and unsheathed his claws, but forced himself to stay where he was. How are we going to take on the other three clans alone? he wondered with dread.
Dizzystar took a step back in shock. "T-take out...Mystclan?!" she asked.
"Yes. Are you with us... or against us?" Emeraldstar asked. Clawstar quietly unsheathed his claws.
Dizzystar took another step back. "N-No! I won't help you drive out another clan! I'd never!" she shouted.
"I'm sorry you feel like that... I'm sure Rainstar would be proud. That's exactly what he said before I ripped his throat out. Well say hi to him in starclan." Clawstar growled.
Dizzystar watched in horror as Clawstar leapt at her. She could have sworn she saw her life flash before her eyes.
Suddenly a flash of fur went by and Clawstar was on the ground, pinned by a black cat.
"You!" Clawstar hissed.
The black tom turned his head back to Dizzystar. "Run!" he hissed before Emeraldstar leapt to tackle him.
Dizzystar slashed at Emeraldstar and dragged the black tom off of Clawstar. "We BOTH need to get out of here!" she yowled.
The tom muttered under his breath but the two quickly ran off. Dizzystar glanced at the tom carefully. He had a Mystclan scent. She knew she recognized him from somewhere. Suddenly her eyes flew open. "You're the Mystclan leader aren't you? Moonstar!"
Nightstar almost tripped at this. Moonstar!? She thinks my name is Moonstar?!" Nightstar thought annoyed. "The name's Nighstar." he growled.
"Oh! Sorry!" Dizzystar apologized.
"It's fine." Nightstar muttered.
Suddenly Dizzystar slipped on some mud and fell.
Nightstar stopped immediately. "Get up!" he ordered. "They're probably still chasing us!"
"Sorry..." Dizzystar whispered and they set off again.
Nightstar noticed that she was limping slightly. He slowed his pace. "Are you alright?" he asked.
"Fine... I just want to go home..." Dizzystar sighed.
I know I'm going to regret this.... Nightstar thought. "I think we can stop a moment and rest here. That leg seems to be hurting you and it would be better to rest it." He said quietly.
Dizzystar nodded and sat down. Exhaustion filled her gaze.
