Stormheart speaks:
Storm,Rain,and Sabor
The sun was setting, the night was inching near, the newleaf breeze sweeps through my gray pelt. My stromy blue eyes scan the camp. Elders are heading to their den, and kits and queens to theirs. Most warriors are still sitting in the middle of camp with a few lucky apprentices. The full moon slowly rises above our heads.
"it is time to leave for the fourtrees." Sunstar yowls. Thunderclan warriors pad by my side, and leave the young apprenitces trailing behind. The stars shone brightly in the sky with the round moon.
When we arrived at the fourtrees Riverclan and Shadowclan. I swiftly pad over to meet my best friends. Raincloud of Riverclan, Sabortoth of Shadowclan, and Nightshadow of Windclan. They are all i realy had. My mother and father died when i was young, and my only sister was killed by a fox. I didn't have much loyalty twards my clan, sure i have a couple friends here and there, but nothing thats really worth something, but Raincloud, Sabortooth, Nightshadow, and I all had one thing in common, we are all outcasts, loner, outsider, but still within the clan.
"Hey Stormheart." Raincloud meowed cheerfully. Her gray taill swaying behind her. Her blue eyes looked past me. I turned around to see Sabortooth padind up. His gingery-brown coat all ruffeled like always and his amber eyes glittering with amusement.
"Hi" I said to Raincloud and Sabortooth. "Geeze, Sabortooth! Have you ever thought of grooming you fur?" I asked.
"Aww! Not again! I just clened it before I came!" Sabortooth whinned.
"Playfighting with Blacktail again?" I asked.
"How did ya know?" He laughed.
"So when is Windclan going to decide to grace us with their presence?" Raincloud growled sarcasticly, Raincloud didn't picticularly like Nightshadow. A few seconds after she said that WIndclan came trotting into sight. A black she-cat came up to me and swatted at my ear.
"So where's my 'hi'?" Nightshadow meowed playfully. Raincloud rolled her eyes.
"Hi!" I laughed back. The moonlight shone off her glossy pelt. Her green eyes sparkeling like gems.
"I missed you. I got into a fight with Hawkthorn and got kept from the gathering." She sighed.
"Yet life goes on." Raincloud growled. Nightshadow shot her a look.
"Well, anyways. How are you Sabortooth?" She asked.
"Fine." He replied neutraly.
"Hey Hav you-"
"Shh! It's about to start." Raincloud growled, interupting Nightshadow.
"All cats gather underneath the high rock." Sunstar yolwed, and the gathering began.

The next morning Cloudfoot was sick so I had to look after his apprentice, Shellpaw. "Can we hunt by the grest oak, or Sunning rock? Or maybe practice fightin in the sandy hollow?" She exclaimed cheerfully.
"Uh, sure. Lets go to sunning rocks." I mummbled. I'm not sure I could handle fighting right now. Maybe I can get some sleep on the rocks.
"Sure! Lets go!" Shellpaw exclaimed. Nope. Not with Shellpaw, Cloudfoot probley is suffering from muscle exhaustion from trying to keep up withy Shellpaw.
I slowly padded over to Sunning rocks withShellpaw bouncing at my side every step of the way. "Okay, what do you smell." I meowed sleepily. She closed her eyes, and took a deep breath through her mouth.
"A squrril by that tree, and a mouse by the rocks." she said.
"Good."I praised. "Now , i will go search out some prey, and you can hunt where you want, just keep on our side of the boarder." I meowed.
I wasn't all that great at mentoring, but that dosen't matter. There are hungry kits at home. Walking through the forest I could hear a mouse scuttering through the roots of the tree next to me, I droped into a hunting crouch. One step, another, and another. I was in the air flying twoards the mouse. I was already on top of it before it could sense it was in danger. With a bite to the back of the neck the mouse went limp in my mouth. I gave my thanks to Starclan and continued my hunt. "The forest is nice, I just wish there was something new, more to explore, more place to just live! " I thought. "I'm sure there's more forest out there. I'm sure theres more rivers and hills too! Other cats couldf have thought of this! I could make my own clan! So could Raincloud, Sabortooth, and Nightshadow! Stormclan, Rainclan, Saborclan, and Nightclan. I almost dropped my mouse. I could bring them and a few others outsiders, and loners could join along the way. This was my chance to leave Thunderclan." I thought wildley.
"The sun is going down, is it time to go back to camp?" Shellpaw meowed.
"Wait, what?" Sundown already? "Yah. Lets go"
Shellpaw caught a squrril, two mice, and a vole. I had a mouse.

"Why are we here again? i'm tired." the gery she-cat mummbles.
"Cause i've gotta plan." I replied.
"Yah. well lets here it." A amber eyed tom meowed.
"well. I say lets leave the clans. They don't want us. We don't need them." I meowed.
"Whoa! That's a big leap there, Stormheart!" Sabortooth exclaimed.
"Yeah, thats why I called you over haer in the dead of night." I hissed.
"Well I'm in. I'm not to fond of Windclan anyway." Nightshadow mewed.
"Really?" I meowed astonished. I thought they would all take more convincing.
"Yah." She mewed again.
"You know, Me too. I'd love to get outta here." Sabortooth meowed.
"I guess, so. Yah, okay, I'm in." Raincloud meowed.
"So all we have to do is convice some clammembers to leave with use." I meowed excitedly. They looked aroud at each other.
"I guess so. We'll leave the day after the next gathering." Raincloud confrimed.
"We'll have four clans, Stormclan, Saborclan, Rainclan, and Nightclan." I exclaimed.
"Uhh, I'm not sure I want a clan." Nightshadow whispered, not meeting any of our eyes. "I've always been a follower. I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to change that." She mewed. "If it dosen't bother you," she looked up to meet my eyes, her fur shining under the starlight. "I would like to follow in your clan, Stormheart." She whispered.
I was not expecting anything like this.
"Please, Stormheart?" She begged.
"Noones is stopping you." I meowed trying to keep the shock out of my voice.
"Thank you." She mewed before she ran away.
"Well, that was wierd." Raincloud meowed.
"I agree, that is sorta wierd for Nightcloud." Sabortooth meowed in agreement.
"Well, I don't know about you, but I'm going home. I'm tiered." Raincloud yawned.
"Goodnight." I meowed still thinking about Nightcloud. She was acting odd.
By the time I got back to camp the moon was still in the sky. I slowly trotted over to the warriors den and curled up into my nest and fell asleep.

I had a dreamless night.
The sun was already above my head. "Hello Cloudfoot. Are you feelin better?" I asked. Cloudfoot was one of the very few cats that listened to me.
"Yes, actually." He meowed cheerfully.
"Hey, can I talk to you about somthing?" I asked. I had no idea how he would react.
"Sure." He replies confused.
"Come on lets take a walk." I meowed.
"Uhh, okay." Cloudfoot meowed. we jumped through the entrance and out int the forest. The breeze stired the dry leaves, frens rustled in the wind.
So, you have been my only real friend in Thunderclan, so I wanted to let you know that I am leaving." I meowed sternly.
"What? I know you don't like Thunderclan, but you can't go martching into the wild alone!" He exclaimed, while his fur bristeled.
"I'm not, I'm bringing Sabortooth, Nightshadow, Raincloud, you, and anyone else that wants to come." I meowed.
"I wanna come!" a high voice whinned.
"Shellpaw! What are you doing?" Cloudfoot growled, his white fur started to puff up.
"Spying on you." She smilled.
"She can come!" I said brightly.
"What! You've totally lost it!" Cloudfoot almost yowled. "You are dragging a apprentice into this, do you have bees in your brain?!"
"No, I think cats should make there own decisions. If she wanted to leave she would have to give up all her friends, most of her kin, and her home. We would find a new home, make a new clan, and have a happy life. It's her choice." I hissed.
"Well fine, let her choose!" He growled, his eyes wild.
"I want to leave." She meowed proudly.
"You will have to leave everything you know and love." I warned,
"I know i heard you." anoyance creeping into her voice.
"Then it is agreed. We leave next moonhigh." I meowed triumphantly.
" I can't belive that I'm doing this." He growled.
~
The next full moon was high in the night sky, we stared to pad over to the gathering. Nightshadow was there with a Queen and kits. Raincloud with a tom and a she-cat, and Sabortooth with a she-cat and two toms.
"Come on let's head out." I meowed.
Shellpaws' eyes gleamed with excitment, Cloudtail was a bit more hesint.
"You don't have to come, Cloutail." I whissper.
"Yes I do." He growled suddenly. I was takken aback.
"Okay lets us go then." I meowed.
~
We walked for moons before we found our knew home. We found many rougs and accepted them into the clans. When we arrived, the land turned into territory of Stormclan, Rainclan, and Saborclan. We respected one and other, there came times when we fought, but we knew that day would come. Our friendship grew weaker, though we were not enemies. Though the clans were in an epic battel for survival, we never considered one and pther a swore enemy. That is my story, and stormclans begining,
