Chapter 10

Just as Lionstar's and Riverclan's patrol started padded through the forest he heard a loud yowl behind them.

"Lionstar! Lionstar!"

Lionstar and the patrol turned around and found Icepaw tearing through the forest after them.

"Lionstar!" Icepaw panted as he neared him. "Echostar, Sageleaf and Mapleleaf are at camp. Echostar needs to speak to you, she said it was urgent! Fawnpelt sent me to find you."

''What does Echostar want? ''Lionstar turned back to the Riverclan patrol, what would he do about them?

"I'm really sorry," Lionstar started meowing to the Riverclan cats. "Something has come up, I have to go back to camp."

Lionstar could clearly see that they were disappointed, almost worried.

"But we need help!" Riversong pleaded.

''Just how much danger was Riverclan really in? ''

"Lionstar?" Icepaw meowed questioningly.

What could he do? He promised Riverclan he would help, but on the other hand, the Shadowclan leader was at his camp.

"Stonesky, you can come back to camp with me. The rest of you, go help Riverclan and be back before the gathering." Lionstar meowed and pelted through the forest before he could hear their replies.

"Why am I not going to Riverclan?" Stonesky asked, a hint of sadness in his voice, as he and Icepaw caught up to Lionstar. "Did I do something wrong?"

"No you were fine." Lionstar puffed as he leaped over a log. "It's just, I don't know what Echostar is planning, and I don't want the camp unguarded."

They finished the run back to camp. Lionstar stopped a moment before entering camp to gather himself. He confidently padded into camp and found the small Shadowclan patrol sitting below the highledge with Fawnpelt.

Lionstar dismissed Stonesky and Icepaw with a flick of his tail and padded over to Echostar.

"Greetings Echostar," Lionstar meowed dipping his head. "What brings you to Thunderclan?"

"I have some important news that I have to discuss with you," Echostar meowed.

"Couldn't this wait until the gathering?"

"This news is for you and Suntail only," Echostar meowed with a sideways glance at Fawnpelt.

"I understand. Fawnpelt, keep a lookout for the rest of my patrol. I'll explain the rest later."

Fawnpelt dipped her head to Lionstar then to Echostar before heading over by Stonesky.

"Will Mapleleaf be joining us?" Lionstar questioned.

"No. I brought him in case we ran into trouble. He can stay down here."

"I'll get Suntail and then we can go to my den."

---

"So what is this about?" Suntail meowed as they settled into Lionstar's den.

"Starclan has sent me a message," Sageleaf meowed.

"What does that have to do with Thunderclan?" Lionstar asked.

"If you would let me finish then you'd know," Sageleaf meowed impatiently.

"Sorry. Continue."

"Thank you. Starclan gave me a warning about Thunderclan. They said 'Make sure the Thunderclan leader knows where his loyalties lay.'"

"Are saying I'm not loyal to my clan?" Lionstar asked, insulted.

"I'm only saying what Starclan told me."

"Sageleaf told me too. I figured that Starclan would only tell Shadowclan if it was important," Echostar meowed.

"I've received the same message," Suntail admitted, looking at his paws.

"Am I the only one who wasn't heard about this? It is about me, don't you think you should have told me?" Lionstar asked Suntail, furious.

"I didn't have any idea what it meant. I still don't!" Suntail meowed, the fur along his back was raising.

"I realize this isn't the best time. Maybe we should wait until the gathering," Echostar meowed about to leave the den.

Lionstar calmed himself. He couldn't be seen like this in front of the Shadowclan leader.

"Right. Maybe the other leaders know more. Well discus the rest later."

Lionstar followed the Shadowclan cats out of his den and down to the bottom of the highledge where Mapleleaf and Heatherthorn were talking.

"Mapleleaf we have to get back to camp, the gathering will be starting soon," Echostar meowed, beckoning him with a flick of her tail.

"Aww. Okay," Mapleleaf meowed disappointedly as he stood up.

"See you at the gathering!" Heatherthorn meowed as the patrol headed threw the thorn barrier.

"How did your patrol go?" Lionstar asked Heatherthorn.

"Wha... Oh. Ripplestar was glad we came, in fact I think all of Riverclan was, they all looked thinner then usual. We went with a patrol to try and find what happened to their fish. No luck though. They asked if we could come back some time."

"If you do, could I go this time?" Stonesky asked as he padded up to them.

"I'll talk to Ripplestar at the gathering," Lionstar assured them.

He looked up at the sky, it was time to pick the cats going to the gathering. He climbed the highledge and called a summons. He waited until everyone was gathered before continuing.

"If I call your name go to the thorn barrier please," Lionstar began. "Fawnpelt, Suntail, Swiftpaw, Stonesky, Heatherthorn..."

Why did Starclan send Shadowclan a message? Lionstar thought as he continued calling out names. And do they really think that I'm not loyal to my clan?
