1: The Sighting of Whitecloud
The clan had anxiously gathered under the meeting point, chattering in alarm over what could be so important that Thistlestar needed an immediate meeting.
As Thistlestar stepped onto the ledge that centred the meeting point, a silent enveloped the clan. Immediately, the leader began to address the clan. “We are under threat. The exiled cat, Cloudchaser, has been spotted near our border.”
With this announcement, the clan erupted in chatters again, fearful for the lives of those around them. However, Thistlestar spoke up again before this could develop into a mass hysteria. “We need to remain vigilant. Nobody should leave the camp without the companionship of a warrior. For now, Apprentices are to train only in the meadow below camp and medicine cats are to take a warrior with them when herbs are needed.”
The cats nervously watched Thistlestar. “Remember: this cat is dangerous and already killed one of us, let’s not let him take another victim,” Thistlestar says, finishing his announcement to the clan. He awkwardly looked down at the cats below, unsure on what to say to make the situation any better.
“We will increase our border patrols until he has been caught and dealt with. For now, do not trust any outsiders. We cannot trust anyone but ourselves,” Thistlestar says at the last minute, before dismissing the cats who just continued to watch him. Awkwardly, Thistlestar stepped away from the ledge, gathering nearby warriors to send out on the first patrol to find the cat that threatens their clan.
