Beginning of Tideclan

I listened to the waves crash against the rocky shore of the beach. I looked over the open sea. Brokenpaw my apprentice padded up to me. "Tidepool, Silvermoon and the warriors you asked for are coming" he mewed. "Thank you Brokenpaw" I sighed and gazed across the sea again. I felt a little uneasy with the warriors I chose for the task at hand. Featherpool was one of the most loyal cats in our clan. She may alert Shellstar. The cats finally arrived. "Is this really so important that we needed to leave our nests I'm exausted I was hunting all day" Beachfur grumbled. "Yes it is" Silvermoon mewed padding to my side. "Who would like to come with me to start our own clan without Shellstar" I meoewed. "What!" Featherpool hissed. "Shellstar is a harsh leader and dosen't care he killed many of our kits and banish many warriors we are as strong as we once were" I growled. "Shellstar got rid of the weak and kept the strong we couldn't afford any weak links" she lashed her tail. There was a long pause. "Well I will follow you Tidepool" Beachfur meowed. "Me too" Raggedwind agreed along with Branchheart and Tortiseshell. Brokenpaw padded back with Grasspaw. "I found her" he smiled. "Good" I meowed and turned to Grasspaw. "Grasspaw would you like to be the first medince cat of Tideclan" I asked flicking my ear. Grasspaw's eyes lit up. "Yes" she sqeeaked. "Good" I smiled. "I don't agree with this we can't turn our back on Shellstar!" Featherpool hissed. "He will know of this soon enough." she growled and ran back into the sand dunes towards camp. "Come on we must go before he finds us" I called. I led the cats away from the sand dunes and toward the large rocks.I could here what remained of shellclan coming after us. "In here" I meowed running into a cave in the rocks. The sound of cats died away soon. I poked my head out to see where they went. "Its safe" I sighed stepping out of the cave. "Wow" I looked around. The sand beneath my paws was dry and The rocks protected us from the water. "Would this be a good camp" I asked letting everyone look at the large clearinng. Wow and its like the dens are built with it" Silvermoon mewed. "At there are pockets for herbs" Grasspaw meowed placing her paw in a hole in the rock. "Alright. Since this is a new clan first we need a clan leader, lets have a vote" I meowed sitting down. "You" Silvermoon purred. "Yes Tidepool should be leader" Brokenpaw meowed. THe others agreed. "Tidestar! Tidestar!" Grasspaw and Brokenpaw chanted. "Alright" I meowed. "Then my first job as the leader of Tideclan I shall give Grasspaw her name. Grasspaw from this moment forward you shall be known as Grassflower Starclan and Tideclan honor you for accepting the role of our medince cat" I purred. Grassflower smiled. "Thank you Tidestar" she dipped her head to me. "Now lets find a place to sleep, we will build the camp tommorow`" I padded down in the clearing and layed down. We all just curled up for the night and went to sleep.

On Our Own

I woke at dawn. Beachfur and Grassflower were awake. "Good morning" I mewed standing up. "Oh good morning Tidestar" Grassflower mewed."I found a spot for the medicne cat den" she flicked her tail towards a small den like cave by the water. "Alright" I meowed padding into the den. It was quite large and filled with spots for herbs. "Well we found your den now lets get the others started" I padded back out of the den. I looked around the clearing. There wasen't much. "We will have Silvermoon chose the nursery''.I mewed '' now we should find the warriors den, then apprentices den".My stomach growled at me "well before anything lets go catch some breakfast" i laughed.I walked over to Brokenpaw "hey Brokenpaw get up hunting patrol " I whispered to him. Brokenpaw opened hi eye's "oh " he yawned.Brokenpaw got to his paws and streched "lets go " I mewed.I led the very small patrol out to our new territory.I lifted my nose up to taste the air to scen tfor any prey.I couldnt cath a whiff of prey.We continued farther into the rocky shore still looking for signs of life in this barren looking beach.Finally a small scent of prey passed our nose.We ran over to a group of rocks finding five crabs scuddiling away from us.Brokenpaw squeked "yes" and pounced on a reddish brown crab."I got it" Brokenpaw mewed."Great job Brokenpaw lets see if we can get the rest I'm sure everyone at camp will be hungry bye the time we get back"."Ok" Brokenpaw agreed.Beachfur caught two crabs while i caught one crab while broken paw caught two more. "That's good" I mewed grabbing my kill. We got back to camp and set the kill by the entrance. Silvermoon and a the rest were awake. I padded over to my mate. "Good morning Tidestar" she purred nuzzling me. "Good morning" I purred back. "You get to chose where the nursery is alright" i meowed. "Alright" she looked around. She padded to the back of camp to ledges came together providng shade and a bit of shelter. "what about here" she looked back at me. "Here can work I examed it. "We would need to add extra cover but it its good" I jumped on one of the ledges. "We will make the roof of prickle braken and tall grass."Ok"she smiled and said "this place is wonderfull''. I gently purred and nuzzeled her "I love you'' I love you to'' she said returrning a purr and a slight nuzzle. I just hoped it would keep us safe.

Forgotten Warriors

I padded out of my den which ended up being the cave we slept in the night of our first arrival in our new home. Raggedwind and Beachfur were fixing up the roof of the nursery while Silvermoon sat with Grassflower in the medicine cat den. I yawned and padded on top of my den. Its been two days since we came to our new home. The warriors den is a large crevice in the side of the wall and the apprentices den was a smaller crevice next to the nursery. "May all cats able to catch their own prey gather beneath highstone for a clan meeting" I called everyone together. Raggedwind and Beachfur stopped construction of the nursery. The other warriors an Brokenpaw came out of their den.Grassflower and Silvermoon watched from where they were. "Brokenpaw please step forward" I smiled. Brokenpaw's eyes lit up and he bounded forward with delight. "I Tidestar call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this young apprentice. He has trained hard to learn the noble code, I ask you to guide his paw steps as a warrior. Brokenpaw do you promise to uphold the warrior code and protect your clan even at the cost of your life" I meowed. "Yes" he purred. "Then by the power of StarClan I give you your warrior name. Brokenpaw from this moment forward you shall be known as Brokenclaw, We welcome you as a full member of TideClan" I dipped my head to my former apprentice. He held his head up in pride as the other warriors chanted his name. "Brokenclaw! Brokenclaw!" they chanted. I jumped off highstone. "And he shall keep his silent vigil until sunhigh" I mewed. Brokenclaw sat at the entrance of camp. "Tortiseshell, Branchheart I'll have you go hunting and take Grassflower with you she need to collect herbs." I meowed. "When you come back I need to choose a Deputy" Branchheart nodded and they padded out of camp. Silvermoon walked over to me. "Who are you going to choose?" She asked. "You'll find out later" I purred. She nodded and walked back over to Grassflower's den. I sighed and padded over to help Beachfur and Raggedwind finished the nursery. "Oh Tidestar, when will you go get your nine lives" Raggedwind mewed sticking more prickle bracken in the woven roof. "Oh... that's right... tonight me and Grassflower will go to starlight pool for my nine lives" I mewed. "Anywhere I can help?" I asked. "Ya take my spot I got a thorn in my paw" Beachfur grumbled. I nodded and jumped up where Beachfur was standing. I wove a peice or two before Beachfur gasped. "Wha-" I almost fell off the ledge. "Dawnfeather, Frostclaw, Silverclaw" I mewed walking to the three former clan members. "We heard of your little clan..." Dawnfeather mewed. "Would we be able to rejoin a clan" Frostclaw asked. The three looked lean and desperate. "Why wouldn't you" i smiled. "We need all the paws we can get" I dipped my head to the three. "But... are Bluepaw, Amberleaf, and Echocry still alive" I mewed worried for the others. Dawnfeather bowed her head sadly. "Amberleaf and Bluepaw are dead but Echocry is sick do you have a medicine cat?" She closed her eyes for her fallen friends. I sighed. "Yes Grasspaw has become Grassflower and our medicine cat" I meowed. "Come rest a hunting patrol is coming back. Then me Raggedwind and Beachfur will go get more" i smiled. They weakly padded over to the shade near the warriors den. They were in bad shape and it would be a while before they could fight but I need them now. Shellstar will soon attack my small growing clan. I sighed and looked at the entrance of camp. How will we win this fight?

Dusk, Echocry was moved into camp and Silvermoon was moved into the nursery. I jumped on highstone to announce my deputy. "May all cats able to catch their own prey gather beneath high rock for a clan meeting." I meowed. the cats eagerly gathered. "I Tidestar am in need of a deputy and may StarClan approve of my choice, Raggedewind." I meowed. Cats congragulaed him. Raggedwind held his head high. I smiled. "Now also me and Grassflower will jorney to starlight pool tonight" Grassflower nodded. "Dismissed" I said jumping off highstone. "Come on Grassflower" I flicked my tail and padded out of camp. We crossed over Shellclan border and followed a stream. Tonight I became the full leader of Tideclan.

Nine Lives

We reached Starlight pool. It was... amazing I have never seen it before. The moonlight shone down on the pool making it look like stars dancing in the water. I took in a deep breath and lapped up a little bit of water. Sleep washed over me. I woke up in Starclan many cats stood before me. First a gray blue she cat stepped forward, my mother. "Bluepool!" I mewed. She smiled and touch my nose. "This life for love" she whispered. A pain shot through me that almost made me collapse. She stepped back. I tried to shake off the shock. A golden colored tabby tom stepped in front of me. "Lionfeather..." my former mentor nodded and touched my nose. "This life for bravery" the pain shot through me again. Next my father Stoneheart. "This life for strength" he mumbled. The pain grew worse with each life I gained. Then a silver she cat with a white chest. "Lillyheart" my sister smiled and looked awfully sad. "This life for compassion" she said touching my nose. Another silver tom stepped out to me. Cloudpaw my brother. "This life for loyalty" he touched my nose. The pain just got worse and worse. The next two were Scarsand and Seaflower previous deputys and friends. An last stepped forward the leader before Shellstar. "Moonstar" I whispered. The one I loved before Silvermoon. She touched my nose. "This life for leadership" she whispered and everything blacked out. I woke beside the Starlight pool and with Grassflower. I got up to my paws trembling. Grassflower bowed her head to me. "Tidestar" she mewed. "Lets go" I mewed shaking. She supported me as we walked back to camp. Silvermoon and Raggedwind were waiting at the entrance. Silvermoon smiled and helped me into my den. "I-I saw Bluepool and Lionfeather and...." I looked over at Silvermoon. "...Moonstar" I mummbled. Silvermoon's gazed softed and she nuzzled me. "Just rest no we will discuss this tommorow" she smiled. I barley nodded an closed my eyes. I woke up in StarClan again. "What am I doing here wasn't I here earlier" I mewed puzzled. Bluepool, Lionfeather, and Moonstar walked out of the brambles their pelt gleaming like stars. Moonstar dipped her head. "At the night of the full moon the tide will crush the shell" she mewed. At the night of the full moon the tide will crush the shell. What could it mean. The starry pelted cats began to fade. "Wait I have questions!" I meowed. "They will be solved Tidestar, in time...." Moonstar's voice echoed. And I was engulfed by darkness.
