Firestar's Quest/Chapter 28

==Chapter description==
:Firestar watches over a training session with the Cherrypaw and Sharpclaw. Firestar tells the apprentice that they might be ready for their assessment. Firestar explains the purpose of the assessments but is cut off by Sparrowpaw yowling that the camp has been attacked. The cats quickly run to the gorge and find Sandstorm and Shortwhisker dragging a wounded Patchfoot across the ground. The warriors tell Firestar that they were attacked by a large group of rats by the Twoleg barn. Sandstorm immediately tells the warriors to fetch supplies to stop Patchfoot's injuries from worsening. The she-cat mentions she needs marigold and horsetail, and Rainfur offers to run to the nasty Twoleg nest to retrieve it. 
:Firestar assembles a patrol to investigate the rats. They grow closer to the barn and only smell Patchfoot's blood across the grass. Suddenly, a wave of rat stench fills the air and Sharpclaw finds where the attack must have happened. They creep closer to the barn, and the small creatures begin running out of every hole imaginable. The ground quickly fills with rats and Firestar begins to understand the trouble they're in. Firestar Sharpclaw and Cherrypaw find themselves surrounded and the largest rat gazes upon them. Firestar is surprised to understand what the rat is saying. The large black rodent tells the patrol that they have killed the gorge cats before, and before they rats have a chance to attack, they escape. Firestar and Sharpclaw come to the realization that those rats drove out old SkyClan.
:Firestar declares a Clan meeting to discuss the situation with the rats. Leafdapple asks how they could possibly drive out so many rats, and Firestar admits he's never fought so many. The cats protest that their ancestor's fight with the rats is not their battle. The ginger tom looks down at the Clan and wishes they understood the warrior code better. Sharpclaw and Firestar convince the Clan that they are not weak and the family they've made here is worth fighting for. Firestar looks over to his mate, Sandstorm and hopes he isn't leading the brand-new Clan to their deaths.
