Chapter 35: The Group Rising

Chapter 35:  The Group Rising

Meanwhile, on the edge of FireClan territory...

     Rosekit and Frostkit huddled together and discussed Pineleaf.  "He's fitting in well,"  Rosekit mewed. "And he deserves to know.  Plus, we could use help around here, after what the cream-colored cat said!  We have to bring together our group of cats!"  Rosekit exclaimed.
"I know Rosekit, but still.  What if he wasn't meant to be with us?  What if he's a spy of some sort?"
Rosekit knew Frostkit had a point, but her heart sank at the thought of Pineleaf spying for the evil force or something else.  "Yes, I know,"  Rosekit said. "But I have a feeling that he isn't- I really do Frostkit.  I wouldn't lie to you."
Frostkit nodded.  "I trust you, Rosekit," he said.  "Let's go tell him."
     Rosekit and Frostkit turned around to address Pineleaf.  "We decided to fill you in,"  Frostkit said.  "Rosekit will explain."  Pineleaf looked at Rosekit, who felt herself blush.
"We need to bring together a group of rebels to like, stop this force called DarkForest from getting away with something.  We don't know what they want to do, honest, but we have to stop them.  This cream-colored cat told us that, like, um, five cats would be in this group to stop them, not counting us.  We have to assemble the group,"  Rosekit said, blushing every time she studdered.  Pineleaf nodded. 
"I think I was meant to be in the group!"  Pineleaf announced.  Rosekit twitched in shock, but when she looked at her brother, Frostkit didn't look surprised at all. 
"But you weren't meant to lead it solo,"  Frostkit said. "There's some other cat that will lead with you." 
Pineleaf nodded.  "All right, works for me," he said. 
"And hopefully we'll get our second cat soon.  The DarkForest is rising fast,"  Frostkit added.  Little did Frostkit know, though.  As they were talking, the remaining four cats were starting to make their way, slowly, across his path.
