Chapter 2

As the patrol of cats padded along the foggy path, everything seemed very unusual. Why had Frostglory chosen these cats to accompany her? What were they going to do?  As the fog started to lift, Wintereye could see the other cats sitting in the clearing.  Frostglory sat down and the meeting began.

After the introductions, the leaders started to talk.

"First, we need to make borders," said Pineglory, the QuickClan leader. 

"I know the area pretty good," replied Frostglory. "I think QuickClan should have the moor.  It gives them more room to run.  They will have the stream to the old fox den.  RockClan should have Rock Mountain.  They will have Snake Cave to Frog Rock.  NightClan should have the woods because it is the darkest area.  They will have Tall Pines to Short Pines.  WaveClan warriors like swimming, forests and we are good at digging so we will have Deep Pools and Dirt Forest.  Our borders will be the river and the dead hollow." 

"But what about the strawberry tree, herb garden, moon tree and the old Cloudwaker place?" hissed Pineglory.

"What are Cloudwakers?" interrupted Doteye, an apprentice in the QuickClan.

"Cloudwakers are creatures that walk on two feet.  They have no tails and no pointed noses," meowed Orangestripe.

Bringing the meeting back to the subject, Frostglory continued.  "We will leave the old Cloudwaker place for rogue cats, loners, foxes, dogs, bears and badgers.  The herb garden will be used by the medicine cats and all medicine cats will be allowed to go there freely.  As for the strawberry tree, we should all see if there is anything unique about that area."

"Right!" said the leaders and together they padded toward the strawberry tree.
