Icestar jumped up onto the Treetop. It was a high Palm tree that cats were able to jump onto. She yowled some loud words, "let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather around for a clan meeting!" Icestar's feet did not allow her to sit. She was just very worried. How can we attack for a horrible reason. MY poor kits. But we have to, for the sake of the clans. Icestar noticed a few cats starting to gather. Silentstep crawled out of the elder's den. Stormcloud came out of the warrior's den with sleepy eyes, and Skystripe walked into camp with a small mouse in her jaws.

Coppertail took a seat at the bottom of the tree, near his leader as every good deputy should be. Icestar would be announcing their attack on FrostClan so preparations could be made. As Skystripe approached, he met her gaze and gestured with his head towards the nursery. No doubt his siblings would kick up a storm. He had been trying to talk to Icestar about their fate but so far it had proved unsuccessful. Flaxeyes, Redwind, Owlspot and their kits remained guests but it wouldn't be long before they became captives. Coppertail was anxious, yet curious, to hear what the rest of the Clan had to say on the matter.

Skystripe noticed Coppertail's glance. She should probably take her mouse to the nursery. She walked over and popped her head in. "Here you go guys, sorry it's not a lot. Fish population went down because of the weather." Her soft mew wasn't loud enough for Redwind to here.
Redwind heard something drop to the floor. It was a mouse that Skystripe had brought in. "Thank you!" She meowed.
Waterkit bolted across the nursery to the entrance. "I get first dibbs!" She yowled.
Skystripe walked back out of the nursery. She walked up to Coppertail. "Those kits are getting bigger everytime I see them," she purred. It was nice to have the kits inside of camp, but it was getting hard to feed them.

Coppertail groaned softly and looked up with annoyance at Skystripe. "It's lovely that you gave them a mouse," he meowed with a sigh," but I meant for you to guard the Nursery."
He quickly glanced around to check whether anyone was listening and added an explanation in a whisper. "If Icestar announces her attack on FrostClan, Flaxeyes will be furious. Owlspot will back her up and I don't want a fight to break out."

Skystripe noticed the deputy wasn't liking her too much. She didn't say anything. She looked at her paws and walked away. The she-cat stood outside the nursery. All she heard was squealing of the curious kits fighting over the small mouse. She looked around, most of camp was empty. Does anyone know there is a meeting going on?

Foxflame's ears perked up and he lifted his head from his fresh kill as he saw his leader. His stomach dropped, but he kept his gaze on his mentor. He could guess what she was going to announce and it made him feel terrible. He had techinally spied on a neighboring clan while they had helped him...treated him for his injury. As if you could sink any lower than fox dung, he had managed to. If Whitestar and Rainlight saw him in the attack, he would get his fur ripped off for sure. Even it was for the good of the clans, which he was starting to disagree with..'Oh Starclan, please forgive me. I have a feeling none of this will go well..'

Ambercloud had heard the summonings of the leader, but she just didn't want to move. She had just had a small piece of fresh-kill. It had filled her up, and now she was tired. Figuring she had better get her bottom up, the she-cat got onto her paws and began to pad closer to hear what was going on.
Maybe something interesting was happening, or maybe it was just nothing. Either way, she knew it had to be important, the leader had summoned the entire clan.
She sat down, curling her tail around her paws and glanced at the leader.

Icestar saw many cats starting to gather. "As you all know, it's time to attack Frostclan. I want as many healthy cats as possible, but I want about five to guard camp." Icestar meowed. I need some strong warriors for the attack too..... "Thunderpaw, Ambercloud, Foxflame, Coppertail, Skystripe. I want you to come a long. Where are the rest of the clan?"
Skystripe looked at Coppertail. Oh no, this doesn't sound good. Coppertail is going to freak! She rapped her tail around her paws and sat up straight. She then looked behind her to make sure none of the cats in the nursery had heard.

Coppertail looked up in alarm. "That is hardly enough!" he cried," FrostClan may be small but not that small!" He glanced around at the group of cats, making his own list of cats he would choose to take into battle. "Quietshadow, we need him and certaintly Tigerstripe and Stormcloud. Have you asked our medicine cat what StarClan has shown him?"
Owlspot, unfortunately, was listening. Flaxeyes and her kits, fortunately, were not. The tom's cream fur bristled along his neck, he pulled his ears flat against his skull and let out a long drawn hiss. Sitting beside his mate in the Nursery, he could see Skystripe guarding the entrance and knew it would be pointless to try and interrupt the meeting. As a AquaClan warrior, he had no interest in FrostClan's fate, but was wary for his own, for Redwind's and their children and especially for Flaxeyes and her kits. Would the FrostClan queen be a prisoner now? Would the warriors return rejoicing from the battle, their paws stained with the blood of her friends?

Icestar glanced at her deputy. "I've seen that. And I'm not mouse-brained to know if I don't have enough. So I asked Lightstream and another apprentice along with the cats Coppertail had said." Icestar was getting irritated. She looked around for her medicine cat. "Where is Quietshadow?

"Right here, Icestar," Quietshadow meowed, padding into the meeting area and sitting down near the base of the rock. "I apologize for my tardiness; I was out gathering herbs when I heard your call." He smiled politely, hoping that his slip-up would go over well with the leader. Everyone seemed tense, and he was not sure why he was needed. After all those moons as a medicine cat, Quietshadow had learned to read the atmosphere quite well.
Tigerstripe frowned. "A fight, Icestar? Why exactly are we waging this war again?" The sarcastic, cynical warrior was displaying her typical stubbornness. She had a tendency to question everything, and even then be dissatisfied with the answers.
"Can I come? Please?!" Thunderpaw ran right up beside his mother, looking up at Icestar. "I've trained and I'm good enough, right? Right?" He had loved all of his battle training he had done so far, and wanted to get more experience in as soon as he could. "Please?" The tom was sure that his mentor would oblige and let him come along, but he was egotistical enough to overestimate himself, especially where fighting was involved.

Coppertail sighed and looked from Quietshadow to Tigerstripe. "Basically, we're launching an attack against FrostClan in order to gain some territory. This leaf-bare has shown he really need the extra prey," he explained. His ears flattened against his head as Tigerstripe's son, Thunderpaw, began pleading with her and Icestar. "Shush!" the deputy hissed angrily. "You can come, but just keep your voice down." He glanced over at the Nursery hoping they all caught his meaning.

Icestar looked at the cats around her. "We are attacking for the right of Aquaclan to have some territory. They are suffering. If they could just get a little bit of land from Frostclan, then we could be four clans again." She hissed. Icestar glared at Thunderpaw. She cracked a smile because of his eagerness, but worried about his cry to be in the battle. Tigerstripe was looking worried. "Tigerstripe, we need a fierce warrior like to you to join us. We need you to fight. And are any of the apprentices ready to fight? I'm well aware that Thunderpaw is."

Foxflame winced as his name was called. This was not a battle he wished to be a part of. His eyes flickered over to Thunderpaw, who was very eager to come along. 'Oh why did I agree to that mission? Oh yeah, I let that big ego of mine get in the way and all I got was a very sore leg and a chance to meet Starclan personally.' Sighing, he got up and made his way towards the warriors den, not making eye contact with anyone.

Skystripe looked around. "All mad was going loose." She whispered.[Prob didn't make sense  ] She wanted to leave gaurding the nursery and join up front where Coppertail was. She was getting anxious. She couldn't keep still. Her tail was nervously hitting the ground with a loud thud. Her ears were perked up and facing forward. Why can't this just end! She looked at Coppertail with a curious look. |

Coppertail felt the she-cat's gaze on him and turned to her face him, his amber eyes meeting hers. Skystripe seemed tense as her tail thumped against the sandy ground. Was she anxious for the battle to begin? He tipped his head to one side, giving her a look of confusion but concern. "What's wrong?" he mouthed.

She watched as Coppertail looked at her and mouthed some words. She didn't quite understand, but most likely it was something about the battle. She mouthed some words, "I want this to be over. I'm scared! She felt a little kittypetish to be afraid. "What are we doing this for? She mouthed.

Unfortunately, Coppertail's lip reading skills were nearly as bad as Skystripe's but he could understand most of it from her body language. She was scared and confused. Rather than continue the frustrating conversation, the dark ginger tom rose to his feet and moved from his place at Icestar's feet to where the other she-cat sat in the Nursery entrance. "I thought it would be better to just come over," he meowed quietly with a hint of reluctance. He felt his place was beside Icestar being the argumentive deputy he is. He hated leaving her side in a meeting but Skystripe seemed genuinely concerned about something. "So, what's wrong?" he asked again.

More territory. Huh. Or is this just another excuse for Icestar to show everyone how tough we can be? Duskfur kept his bitter thoughts to himself as he slowly pawed the ground. The thin tom had crept slowly from the nursery, without distancing himself too much from the ferns. Though his kits were growing and would soon be apprenticed, he still spent the majority of his time lingering around Emberlight and the other queens. Since the fire, he had been afraid to do much else. He was completely useless, and he knew it. What was the point in his being a warrior if he was too scared to fight? And yet - he didn't even want this battle to happen. He didn't want to attack FrostClan; he didn't want to create needless rivalries or for cats to be injured. He remained silent.
"I'm ready to fight, Icestar!" Lightstream called. Though she could sense the tension between the cats, she didn't quite understand the seriousness of the situation. Surely attacking FrostClan wouldn't be that difficult - how many of them were there? Icestar's explanation made sense to her. If they could help to acquire a little bit of undamaged territory for AquaClan, it would be easier for them to return, and everyone would be happy. Right?

Skystripe was a little releaved to come and talk to her. "This is getting out of hand! All the clans will be splitting up! All four clans must live around fourtrees! We must live with the warrior code!" She whispered. The tabby warrior looked at him with cloudy, green eyes. "If we don't fight Frostclan, then Aquaclan is left to rot. And it's all because they won't try and help! I can kinda understand Icestar's plan, but on the other hand, I can't." He voice died down. She looked at her paws with confusion and embarrashment.

Coppertail sighed and met her green eyes with his strong amber ones. "We are living to the warrior code. FrostClan-" his eyes moved briefly to where Flaxeyes slep in the nursery "-FrostClan are too weak. StarClan has taken away two of their leaders in quick succession. We must all make sacrifices for AquaClan." Icestar had always been allies with Jaystar as the river lay between them. It was a major source of fresh water and fish so it was important to keep the AquaClan warriors happy. Anyway, it can't be long before Jaystar dies and Rockfang takes over.

Skystripe started to feel a lot better. "You have a point." She looked at the nursery, all she heard was squeals from a few kits. She smiled. "Thanks for cheering me up. It would be nice to have Aquaclan back. But it might be hard for them if they take Frostclan's territory." Her voice was no more than a whisper.
"Coppertail!" It was Icestar talking. "I need you to round up as many cats that are fit enough to battle and take them to Quietshadow to make sure they are healthy for it." Icestar meowed. "Quietshadow, do you have enough herbs to treat wounds if any turn up?" The black she-cat was more than confident about the battle. We need Aquaclan around fourtrees again. And this is the only way to do it.

Tigerstripe sighed. Perhaps it was just the warm green-leaf sun, but her attitude toward the upcoming battle was becoming rather phlegmatic. Still, she knew that it would be best to serve her clan...and if the best way to do it was by fighting, then so be it. She thought that Icestar probably had other motives for launching the attack and was simply not revealing them to all of BeachClan. "I'll do it."
"Really? Thanks!" Thunderpaw's whiskers began to quiver from the excitement of the action that was sure to await him. He would have a chance to be a hero, to take center stage in the fight for more land. What was FrostClan using it for, anyways? So small and pathetic. Do they really need all that territory? We could put it to much better use. His thoughts were clouded by visions of glory, visions of returning from battle as a valorous paladin. Maybe she'll give me my warrior name if I do good in the fight!
Quietshadow nodded, displaying his characteristic even temperament and calm demeanor. "Of course, Icestar." Although the medicine cat hated fighting, he was an honorable cat who knew that the leader's word was law and that it could not be gone against. Rather than trying to intervene with the battle preparations--something he knew he could not and should not do--he decided to learn a bit more about the invasion so that he would be able to provide adequate care for any injuries that the BeachClanners may sustain.

Icestar looked at all the confused faces around her. "This battle is for the sake of Aquaclan. They need our help, and the only way to do that is to attack Frostclan, and maybe they can agree on helping. Beachclan and Rainclan have tried to give a lot of help them, and we need all paws to help." She looked down at her paws and coughed. The black she-cat looked back up. "Now how many cats should we have on the patrol? I want a lot. But not too many where we have more than enough."

Coppertail nodded and smiled before rising to his paws to follow after Icestar. He looked to each of the warriors, making a mental note who was coming. "Tigerstripe, Thunderpaw, Quietshadow, Lightstream, Skystripe...," he meowed aloud for all the cats to here. "Who else have we got? Stormcloud?"

Stormcloud poked his head above the crowd of cats. "I' here!" He mewed. The black and white tom walked his way out of the crowd and next to the deputy.
Skystripe sat next Coppertail. She looked around the crowd of cats. That is clearly not enough! She thought about what other cat that could come along.

Coppertail grinned at the older tom, happy to have him fighting by his side. "Anyone else. Swallowpaw? Foxflame?" he called out. "We can't take FrostClan with such a tiny group. They may be weak but they're not that weak!"
Owlspot peered through the entrance of the Nursery, uneasy as ever. The battle was going ahead and there was nothing he could do. He glanced over his shoulder to check that Flaxeyes was still sleeping. How many of her Clan would die? He wandered briefly whether Blackleaf, the father of her kits, would survive. No! He shook his head. His loyalty was with AquaClan and their welfare. He would join them soon.

Stormcloud looked around. "Maybe Duskfur and Lightstream? If their names weren't called." He whispered to Coppertail. He was trying to help the deputy gather cats together. "Ambercloud maybe?" Skystripe looked around. We need more cats! She started to padded over to the Quietshadow's den. She poked her head through the palm leaves wall. "Quietshadow. Are you in here?"
