Froststar walked through the forest, the breeze ruffling her fur, she could hear the gentle pawsteps of the cats behind her.

She glanced in front of her, her eyes fixed on a point in the distance as fourtrees slowly appeared, then she heard her deputy's pawsteps, walking up to her, his eyes wide with worry.

But froststar didn't stare at gleamhawk whilst he talked urgently, glancing at his leader every few words.

"If the clans ally together to fight these dark warriors, then where should we meet? And how do we know if the dark warriors are going to be there?" He looked at his leader holding her gaze for a moment, but froststar avoided him.

"Froststar" gleamhawk yelled "look at me!", his voice was shaking as he continued speaking, his brown pelt bristling with anger. He dug his claws into the ground, narrowing his eyes at froststar.

Froststar was lost in thoughts about the wise words of her deputy, but she still avoided his gaze, padding closer and closer to fourtrees.

Her anger against gleamhawk's words at the end of the battle with the dark warriors grew as he spoke.

"Fine" gleamhawk snapped "stay away from me, see if I care"

The deputy stayed for a few more heartbeats in hope that his leader would turn to him and express her thoughts, but she showed no sign of having even heard his words. With a last snarl, gleamhawk backed away.

Froststar didn't even look back. Her gaze resting on fourtrees, eager for the gathering to start.

She concentrated on the thump of her paws against the ground, she stared down at her paws, examining them, then looked up as she heard a voice.

"Well, we have a lot to talk about"

She looked up into crowstar's eyes "yes" she relaxed herself and crowstar beckoned her with a flick of his tail.

She followed him eagerly, passing a few cats who were talking hastily, pelts bristling, whiskers twitching, anger flashing in their eyes. Froststar turned back to look at crowstar and realized he was sitting with the two other leaders.

"What should we do?" Froststar asked padding up to them, frightened and excited to hear their answer.

"Has someone received a sign from starclan?" A frightened mew came from aquastar.

Froststar took a deep breath and spoke "a new clan shall arise, formed of what we call dark warriors, four must become one to fight these dangerous enemies".

The three leaders stared at each other in silence "we should all fight together" froststar said her eyes gleaming with passion, is that enough to save our clans?

"But where should we meet? And what of the dark warriors aren't there?" Larchstar echoed gleamhawk's words.

"I don't know" froststar confessed "I told you everything I know" she added hastily, seeing crowstar's doubtful look.

"We trust you" larchstar meowed looking at the other two leaders who nodded approvingly "but a lot of questions remain unanswered" larchstar added sounding as wise as ever.

"Should I tell the four clans about the prophecy" froststar asked slowly.

"I think you should" crowstar nodded approvingly "how about you speak first"

Froststar smiled, shooting a gentle at crowstar before she leaped on the rock, howling. The leaders joined her and she watched the cats gather around her, their stare unblinking as they waited for froststar's first words.
