I, Turtlestep, a tortieshell she-cat, stood foward with my Clan leader Quickstar. "It maybe leaf-fall, but leaf-bare is coming soon. We must perpare for what is ahead of us." said Quickstar. "What if we die in trying? Will that make us any stronger?" said Ravenfeather. "Don't speak like that Ravenfeather, StarClan might hear you." said Flowernose our mediecene cat. "I don't care if StarClan will hear me, I have a right to speak for myself." Ravenfeather yelled back to Flowernose. Suddenly, a sceam pierced the sky. " The kits! I forgot to stay in the den with them." said Mistpelt.
