Swift Clan : Ready?

Quickstar yawned and stretched himself. It was a beautiful morning. “Jaguarpelt! Come into my den, please.” Jaguarpelt lay herself down in the moss, obviously unsettled about her untold journey. “So, Jaguarpelt, where were you?” Quickstar mewed curiously. Jaguarpelt pleaded for him to understand. “I was on a hunting patrol.” She hesitated. Quickstar nodded for her to go on. She took a deep breath. “Suddenly the scent of strange cats came to me. I heard mewing in a thicket to my left. I crept up, but I mewed to loudly my surprise. There, sitting on a flat rock, were seven grey cats. They took me to their fortress and-” She was interrupted by an alarmed mew from Quickstar. “They have a fortress?” “Yes.” she mewed, aware of the confused look on Quickstar’s face. He was unsettled. GREY cats? “Go on,” he sighed. “They told me they were Stone Clan, and forced me to stay the night. I woke up at midnight, and ran. I slept the night at the edge of our territory.” Quickstar nearly flattened from despair. They were here! The grey army was here! Seeing his fear, Jaguarpelt mewed quietly, “The grey army. The Stone Clan is the grey army of cats.” Quickstar nodded. “Then we must be prepared,” he mewed. He padded out of the den and up on to the meeting place. “All cats gather here under the meeting place!” The warriors and kits gathered nervously around him. He felt worried, but took a moment to survey his clan. He was proud of it’s size and strength. He took a deep breath. “Danger is coming! Another clan is going to invade our territory!” he yowled. Silence for a moment, and then cries of, “Will we let them? What are we to do?” He silenced them with a flick of his tail. “We are a strong clan, with plenty in numbers against these rogues!” Goldenfur hissed, “We will never let them invade our territory!” A roar of agrees erupted. Quickstar raised his paw for silence. He gazed out on his clan. He was confident in their training that they could defeat the invaders. “We will not fail!” he yowled. Swift Clan was ready for the attack.
