Prologue:
"Before you leave, Jadepaw, you shall receive a new name. You are no longer apart of a cla-" The white tom is unable to finish his sentence before he is interrupted.
The young she-cat rolls her eyes. "Yeh whatever. What you want to call me Jadebrokenbranch? You're pathetic, thinking I want a new name by you and this worthless clan." Cats around the she-cat bristle and snarl, but she continues. "I shall name myself. I am Jade, and that is how you shall address me from now on."
A light blue and white tabby tom stands next to Jade and stammers, "I-I'm go-going wit-h h-her." Jade nods in approval. "Good choice Shimmerpaw. Any other cats can come with us, the others can stay here and rot in this pathetic excuse of a clan."
A brown tom-kit pads forwards. "Treekit!?" A yellow she-cat mews in horror. Treekit only mews, "Sorry Shinefur, but I want more to life then obeying Thunderclan rules." Another kit joins him. "I'm going too."
"Smart little kits," Jade purrs as she wraps her tail around Treekit and Fiercekit. "Any one else want to live a life of freedom?"
The white tom from before snarls savagely. "Leave, traitors! Before we kill you."
Jade smirks in his face and stands. Gathering her small amount of followers she mews, "This isn't over yet, Skystar." Jade, Shimmerpaw, Fiercekit and Treekit exit the clans camp, their enemies on all sides. ... "Jadepa-Jade. Can we stop now, my paws hurt." Treekit complains loudly, his only response in a sigh. Jade sits neatly down and indicates with her tail that the kits are to lay next to her. Treekit and Fiercekit happily obliges. "Are we going to make a new clan, Jade?" Jades eyes glimmer through the settling darkness of night. "Yes Treekit, we will get lots of strong cats like you and make a clan." "Do we get new names?" "Of course you do. Shimmerpaw is now Light, Treekit shall be named Leaf, and Fiercekit you will be Fierce."

Chapter 1:
"No, no, no! Fierce, you are supposed to place your paws down softly otherwise you will alert the prey!" The grey she-cat looks at her paws before nodding as the older she-cat continues rebuking her. "You've missed a number of frogs this morning already, and now you have to scare away a bird. What is it with you, Leaf always catches prey."
Fierce just rolls her eyes and mews, "Can't we just battle train? Leaf can catch the freshkill and I can defend the enemies."
Jade narrows her eyes. "And what if Leaf dies? Who will feed you then?" Jade pauses briefly before continuing her speech to the younger she-cat. "No, we must share our duties in order to survive." The white she-cat turns away from the young cat. "Alright Fireclaw, show me how you hunt." She mewed addressing a black and red tabby with lithe long legs. The she-cat sniffed the air and started walking quietly towards a patch of ferns. Her long legs allowed her to pounce effortless onto a frog. "Good work Fireclaw, try to kill it neater next time though," Jade mewed nodding to the bloody carcass.
"Stupid frog-eyed Windclan dung," Fierce hissed quietly under his breath, though not quiet enough. Fireclaw dropped her catch and glared at the grey tom. "Thunderclan dung beetle!" Along with the insult, the lithe she-cat threw herself towards Fierce, scratching his side flank.
"Warriors! Stop it or else I'll send you both back to your originial clans!" The threat leaves the fighting she-cat frozen. They move away from each other and sit down staring nervously at their paws. "Thats better, now lets get back to camp," Jade mews.
...
In the darkness of night, a few voices are heard. The words are whispered, but a few of the warriors can hear just make out the words. "Do you think she'll be mad? I mean, I am quite young to have kits." "And? New life to the clan should be a good thing." "Yeh maybe. Lets just get some sleep and I'll tell CRrystal in the morning."

Chapter 2:
The morning was silent. The wind was still and no birds were chirping yet. The newly formed rogue camp had been established and was sleeping peacefully after a long quarter moon of fixing up a camp. But then, through the stillness of the dawn, a cry rose up. The cats quickly woke up and raced out of their den. A tortoiseshell she-cat, Crystal, gathered herbs from her den and padded quickly over to the leaders area. "Dat will de the kits comin!" She yowled over the herbs. The rest of the cats got into small groups, each whispering.
Scar, a new queen, laid her one kit at her paws. "Wakeup Poppy. Jade's giving you some battle mates." At once the little she-kit awoke and smiled up at her mother. "Really!? I can start fighting with someone soon?" "Yes Poppy, but once they're a bit older and stronger." "Ok mama."
While the cats outside talked in hushed voices, Jade was struggling in her nest. "I don't want these kits! They're hurting me too much!" Her young womb gave a heave and she yowled, biting down on the stick Crystal had placed in her mouth. A ripple went through her body and something wet landed at her tail. "A little tom. One more to go. Push!" Crystal nipped the kits sac and passed it over to Wave, its father. Another kit landed at Jades tail and she sighed with relief. "Is it over?" "Yes, congratulations a tom and she-kit. Both seem very healthy." Crystal gave Jade some herbs to eat and left the den, leaving the young family to themselves.
"What should we name them?" Wave asks. Jade scans her eyes over the two kits. "Sun for the she-kit." Wave thought for a second before mewing, "Then Moon for the tom." Together the two gazed at their kits. One grey, the other a red and black tabby.
Jade stood up slowly and picked up Sun. "Bring Moon outside," Jade mewed to her mate. Padding outside, the other cats fell silent as they looked at the new kits. Placing Moon and Sun on a large rock, Jade and Wave stood behind them. "My cats, gather around. Today was the birth of my Sun and Moon, both healthy kits. In celebration of their birth, we shall have a name for our group!" The cats cheered excitedly.
All the cats in the group were outcasts from their clans. Apprentices who had hated their leaders, just like Jade had. And warriors who disobeyed the warrior code and took mates of different clans or disliked being ruled by the warrior code. "I name our group, the eclipse!" The cats yowled their happiness. Since some of the cats had been kittypets before joining the clans and then joining this group, Jade knew some words used by kittypets and their two-legs.
"ECLIPSE! ECLIPSE!"
Jade soaked herself in the word. Sun and Moon, welcome to the cats of eclipse!

Chapter 3:
Jade limped over to a patch of ferns. Five moons had passed and the white she-cat had gotten back to training the young cats of the group. Since the birth of her kits, Jade had allowed a few cats to join the clan. This included a new kit, Claw, a heavily pregnant tabby named Waterfall, and a young she-cat with a tortoiseshell pelt, Swiftflower.
"Swiftflower! I thought I told you to get some moss for Waterfall?!" One of the guards yowled at her.
"Sorry Light, I just got distracted by something. I'll get it soon, but I have to talk to Jade first." The tortoiseshell bounded over to Jade, ignoring the toms protests. "Jade, I found some Shadowclan scents inside out territory near the South border! I had a bundle of moss but then I heard some voices and I ran back here. I think I recognized Bonewhisker and Jaggedtooths mews."
Jade hissed in anger and spat, "How dare they come this close." Louder she mewed, "Fierce, Fang, Thorn and Brightgaze, go to the South border and scout the area." The four cats gathered and left the camp, racing to the border. Jade then continued to gather her clan. "Cats of the Eclipse, gather." All cats, including kits, made a circle around their white furred leader. "Shadowclan scum have been scented inside our territory. Scar," She mewed addressing the queen, "Take all the kits into my den and shelter there with the apprentices. Hid the kits and be ready to fight if necessary." The queen and apprentices nodded. Swiftflower picked up Sun by the scruff and took her to the den, Tiger holding Moon followed closely behind. Once all of them were inside, Jade continued. "Feather and Leaf, stand at one of the entrances and guard. Rose and Light, guard the other. The rest of you stay behind them and hide." The clan moved in silence, padding to their destined spots. Wave padded up to Jade and mewed, "If the fight gets to big, take the apprentices and kits and go with Scar to the Moonstone. No-one would fight there." Jade nodded.
After a while of waiting, voices were heard. "Don't try anything funny, or else you will be killed." That was Brightgaze. Jade spat crossly. Trust them to bring the enemies to our camp! Fierce, Fang, Thorn and Brightgaze entered the camp with two cats huddle between them. The stench of shadowclan cats landed on Jades tongue and she stood from her hiding spot. Acting casual, Jade mewed, "Cats of Eclipse, rise." The cats stood from their crouches and looked at the cats warily. "Who are you and what do you want?!" Wave snarled to the new comers.
The cat Jade recognised as Jaggedtooth replied, "I am Jaggedtooth of Shadowclan, and this is Bone whisker. We are here to invite you to the gathering tonight at four trees." Jade scoffed but the tom continued. "The other clans have agreed that it would be good to see all the cats you have stolen from us." The arrogance of this tom! Jade narrowed her eyes. "Why would we come. For all we know this could be an ambush!"
Jaggedtooth promised it would not be an ambush. "I need to think about this." Jade mewed. The shawdowclan cats nodded and left. "Light and Wave, escort them to the border." At that the four cats left and the cats of Eclipse started whispering. Jade went to her den and laid down, thinking of her options.

Chapter 4:
A white she-cat exited a den, two kits and a tom close behind her. "Cats of Eclipse! Gather!" With the loud yowl, cats emerged from the tall grasses and ferns. "Whats this about ma?" "We'll find out soon, Poppy." The white she-cat jumped onto a log and peered down at the cats. "My friends, we have been invited to the gathering of the clans. We will call ourselves Eclipseclan, yet we are not like the others. Instead of travelling now like the other clans, we will eat now and go later, so they think we aren't coming. Like an eclipse, we will be silhoueted against the moon as we pad down to four trees!" The cats cheer. "Lets eat!"
Everycat heads towards a pile, freshly stocked with rabbits, frogs, thrushes and mice. "Maybe eat with the apprentices, Jade, that will make them cocky before the gathering," a tom mewed to the white she-cat. Jade smiled wryly. "Good idea Wave. Come join me, it will better for both deputy and leader to make the apprentices crazy." Grabbing a large mouse, Jade padded over to join the three young cats. "Tiger, Dusk and Swiftflower, because we are a clan now, we will call you Tigerpaw, Duskpaw and Swiftpaw." The three cats spit crossly. "Don't worry, you'll soon be warriors. These names will just make you want to acheive the goal of warriorship." The cats grumble crossly but are too pleased to stop their anger from developing.
Louder, Jade mews to the clan, "Eclipseclan, we must give ourselves full names. Please refer to me as Jadestar. Your new names are Wavestone, Crystalmoon, Leafcloud, Rosepetal, Owlflight, Fierceheart, Fangclaw, Thorntail, Yarrowberry, Dawnray, Featherstripe, Lightfoot and Scarnose. The rest of you'll keep your names, unless apprentice or kit, as you will have paw and kit after your names."
The clan nods their agreement. After eating, the clan gathers once more. "Also, we have three more apprentices among us. Poppykit, Moonkit and Sunkit. Step forwards. Poppykit, you are now Poppypaw. Your mentor is Yarrowberry, train her to be like you Yarrowberry. Moonkit shall now be Moonpaw, your mentor is Leafcloud and I expect him to train you to be a great hunter. Fierceheart, mentor my daughter Sunpaw to be a strong fighter like you." The clan cheers out the new names. "Now lets go! We are all going to the gathering!"
The clan cheers and files out of the camp, suddenly silent like shadows. Jadestar and Wavestone lead the clan towards four trees. At the top of the hollow, Jadestar peers in. Perfect, all the clans are here. Ha! They seem nervous! Jadestar signals with her tail, and the Eclipseclan cats stalk into the clearing, causing silence to fall onto the clearing like a fog.
Eclipseclan cats settled near the center of the clearing, mingled with the other clans. Talking started quickly. It seemed every clan wanted to know how their old clan mates were fairing in the strange new clan. A booming voice suddenly echoed across the clearing. "Jade! Why is there kits among us." Silence desended once again, and the eyes of every cat lay on the white she-cat. She smiled at the cat who had spoken. "Skystar, nice to see you again. First of all, I am Jadestar. Secondly, there is only one kit among us. Clawkit couldn't stay by himself back at camp, and we didn't know if you would attack our camp if we left it unprotected." Jadestar licked her paw casually, waiting for a reply. A she-cat from the throng of cats suddenly spoke up, "Us clan cats aren't like rogues. We would never hurt or do anything to harm a kit." Jadestar spotted the cat that had spoken and remembered her name instantly. "Ahh my dear mother Roseheart, how are you? I've missed your chilly remarks in my new clan." Roseheart gasped. "Clan? Your so called clan is nothing but a bunch of disloyal outcast!" The Eclipseclan cats glare at the white speckled she-cat.
"We are a clan never the less, now if you don't mind, I would like to start the gathering." Jadestar jumped up to the rock where the other clan leaders were. I haven't been accepted by starclan yet, but oh well. "Cats, I have good news from Eclipseclan. Our numbers have risen and the camp has been fully made. Poppypaw, Moonpaw and Sunpaw were made apprentices today and I have given them perfect mentors. Food is good in our territory, and we do not fear Leaf-bares approach." Jadestar stepped back from her position and listened as the other leaders gave their news.
After all leaders had finished, the clan cats talked among themselves. Jadestar turned to Rotscar and mewed, "Next time you come to invite us, wait on your side of the boarder." The she-cat laced her words with a silent threat. Rotstar narrowed his eyes but nodded. Then she turned to Proudstar and mewed, "How do your cats catch rabbits? My clan has found some stray rabbits inside our boarder but hasn't been able to catch any except the young and weak." Proudstar chuckled before replying. "You really have to have the build. My clans legs are long and strong so we can leap and catch them. When chasing them it helps to have good endurance."
Proudstar gazed down at Jadestars clan and nodded towards Sunpaw. "That young she-cat is perfect for catching rabbits. She yours and Wavestones kits?" "Yes, how did you know?" "Well, she is petite like you and her hind legs are already muscled up like Wavestones. When Wavestone was in Windclan, he was the best rabbit catcher known." Jadestar purred, "He tried to catch a rabbit moons ago but the territory was too unfamiliar." Proudstar chuckled before leaping down from the rock. It was time for the meeting to end, and with a flick of your tail, Eclipseclan was ready to go.

This is really good so far Jayjay! I like that instead of the cats just immediately forming a clan they evolved into that. I'm wondering what made Jadestar decide to turn Eclipse into a clan though? Did she feel the need to conform to the other clans standards from the gathering?

"Hmm...my favorite memory? I have too many to count,but i guess, it would be the memory of meeting all you and making friends here on the forums. :3" ”One day I’m going to sit down and make a list of all the books that I finished reading....” “It's going to be a long list...”

Chapter 5:
The sun was rising, waking all the Eclipseclan cats from their slumber. As expected, Jadestar was the first to stand, her white pelt glowing from the sun rays. Standing on a log, she waited for her friends to join her. Once gathered in a untidy circle she started mewing. "As unexpected, we are now Eclipseclan with me as Jadestar and you all with clan names. However, I hope you all understand why I did this." She was answered by silence. Impatiently she continued. "We won't be accepted into the gatherings if we aren't a clan. Don't you see? We must find their young members and get them to join. And that must be achieved through exile through their clans." Jadestar looked at her daughter Sunpaw. "Sunpaw, you must pick a strong tom from one of the clans and become, friends, with him."
Sunpaw understood instantly and purred. "Don't worry mother, I will not disappoint you."
The white leader nodded happily. "And you Poppypaw and Moonpaw must also find friends in the other clans. Young apprentices are always willing to share secrets." The clan purred and chuckled at this.
"Oh and Rosepetal, I have a special mission for you," Jadestar mewed to the pretty warrior. "You must flirt with a deputy of one of the clans. This will access you with the most juicest secrets of all."
The ginger tabbys eyes gleamed. "Of course. This could end up in him betraying his clan and joining us, but we must be careful. Perhaps the next she cat that joins should join one of the clans and seduce the leader?" Rosepetal suggested. The clan looked eagerly at their leader.
Jadestar nodded and purred. "We will rise soon enough. All of us must be prepared to take of the clans, one by one. Only the strongest will be spared, and the kits and apprentices of course." The plan of revenge was finally coming together.
Suddenly the medicine cat Crystalmoon stood up and stepped to the front of the circle. "I would like another medicine cat too, as looking after all the cats of Eclipse is getting tiring."
Jadestar nods slowly before looking at the only kit in the group, a young tom called Claw, before shaking her head. "We'll have to get a cat from a clan or find a knowledgeable young cat. We can not spare Claw, he has the makings of a strong warrior."
Crystalmoon nods along with the rest of the clan.
"Also, Swift, Dusk and Tiger, once you each bring another apprentice back here you will become full warriors."
PLEASE NOTE THIS IS ALL BEING REWRITTEN. I WILL POST THE REWRITTEN STORY HERE SOON!
