Return

Gleamstar shook her head, waking up from the dream. Fireheart was staring at her, his green eyes worried.

"Gleamstar, you were talking in your sleep," he meowed. "Are you okay?"

Gleamstar nodded. "Yeah, yeah. I'm fine. I just had a bad dream. That's all."

"If you're sure," Fireheart mewed. He, Jayfeather, and Gleamstar then headed back to the ThunderClan camp.

"Gleamstar, you're back!" her Clanmates cheered when the purple she-cat padded into the camp. Almost everyone looked happy to see her. Redpaw and Lakepool were the only ones who looked sad. They were still upset because Gleamstar had told them they couldn't be in love.

Gleamstar ignored everyone. She had more important things to do than talk to her happy Clanmates. She walked up to her deputy. "Lionblaze," she meowed, "I need you to take a patrol to the ShadowClan border. Blackstar needs to know that I am now ThunderClan's leader."

After she had told Lionblaze this, she turned and began walking to her new den. Everyone tried to clamor around her and ask questions about her ceremony. Feeling slightly annoyed, she didn't answer anyone. "Guys, let me go to bed," she meowed. "Let me have a night to myself."

Her Clanmates walked away, grumbling. "She never lets us have any fun," Berrynose muttered. "She's so bossy."

Gleamstar settled into her den, hoping Fireheart would come in. He followed her, but only to tell her that he was leaving ThunderClan.

"What?!" she gasped. "Where are you going?"

"Well, I can't be leader so I might as well leave. It's not like I'm still a useful warrior anymore. If I can't be leader I don't want to stay here anymore," Fireheart meowed. "I think I'll go be a rogue or join SkyClan maybe."

Gleamstar watched him as he padded away. She was sad to see him go because she was still madly in love with her Great-grandfather, but if this what he really wanted to she wouldn't try to stop him.

"It's okay, Gleamstar," meowed Hawkfrost, who had apparently magically came back to life. "I mean I love you so it's all good, right? If one cat you love leaves, that means I have less competition. Besides, I know you love me the most."

"I do," Gleamstar purred, wrapping her tail around the tabby tom's face. She didn't care if he was a rogue, dead, or formerly evil. She loved him, and now they could be together!
