CHAPTER 10
Rockstar opened his eyes. At first his mind was clouded in confusion. Last he remembered he and the clan was in the camp. Then, with a wave of sadness, he realized that it was just a dream. Sighing, Rockstar stretched his limbs. When his eyes adjusted, he realized that there was a gray tom in front of him. At first he thought that Skywatcher was visiting him, but the cat didn’t smell like the StarClan cat.
“Er… hello,” Rockstar mewed awkwardly. The gray cat blinked at him.
“You said you are in a clan?” the cat meowed, sounding confused.
“Yes,” Rockstar mewed. The gray tom’s eyes widened.
“D-do you know about a clan a clan named… named RiverClan?”
Rockstar stiffened. Could this cat know about where to find the clans?
“Y-yes,” Rockstar gasped. “O-our clan is looking for ThunderClan,”
The gray cat’s eyes opened even wider. “That’s my father’s clan,” he whispered. The cat swallowed. “My name is Stormfur,” he mewed. “I…I used to be a part of the clans.”
“What?” Rockstar gasped. Stormfur! That was a clan name! He was a clan cat!
“You are a clan cat!” Rockstar whispered. He swiped his tail around Stormfur. He stepped back.
“B-but there were always four clans,” he stammered.
“Not always,” Rockstar murmured. “Sit. You should hear the story.”
Both cats sat down and Rockstar told Stormfur about how Firestar and Sandstorm of ThunderClan had reconstructed SkyClan. He told him about how SkyClan was driven out of their home, and how a prophecy had led his clan back to the clans.
Stormfur stared at him once Rockstar finished. “That’s why they left,” Stormfur whispered. “My father was left in charge of ThunderClan when Firestar was gone. He told me that they were on a mission no cat would believe… and he was right.”
Stormfur stood up. “Rockstar, if I may, I would like to help you and your clan.”
Rockstar nodded. “I would be glad to have you, Stormfur. You are a brave warrior, one that I would want on my side.”
Stormfur nodded, and together the two cats planned what they would do next.
