=BloodClan's Future=

At the end of The Darkest Hour, I know what you all were thinking. What Happened to BloodClan? Okay, maybe you weren’t, but I know I was. After all, they are my favorite Clan. But back to BloodClan. As we all know, BloodClan was horribly defeated at the battle of Fourtrees. Also, as revealed in The Darkest Hour and Secrets of the Clans, they have no medicine cats, and their elders are forced to hunt for themselves. So, if any elders took part in the battle, they could not be healed. Also, because of their age, they wouldn’t be able to cope with the wounds if they were too serious. And if any warriors took part, and the wounds were bad enough, that could kill them too. And when Firestar saw BloodClan enter the clearing, he said there were more cats there than he had ever seen in the hollow at once. So that could be any number. Most of the time, ThunderClan, the biggest Clan, usually sends less than ten warriors and apprentices at one time. So if each Clan sent ten cats, that would be forty cats. Scourge could have sent fifty cats, and it would have been more. It could have been forty-one, and it still would have been more. So anyway, it says that some cats left Fourtrees, so there were some remnants of the once powerful Clan. So what did they do? Well, they could have regrouped, but I think that is wrong. First of all, they are a loosely banded group of cats, living off crowfood. The crowfood fact is irrelevant, but since they are a “loosely banded group of cats”, that means they have no real government, right? They didn’t even have a “real” deputy. According to Barley, Bone was only a cat who “does Scourge’s dirty work”. So when Firestar killed Scourge, and Bone was killed by a band of angry apprentices, who would be in charge? I’m sure they wouldn’t have a nice and peaceful vote. So it would be the last cat living. Then there would be no article for me to write. And he or she wouldn’t have a “Clan” to lead. So what would be the point, other than killing cats he might be friends with? Okay, for just a minute, let’s pretend somehow they did reassemble their Clan, which is unlikely in itself, because don’t you think they would take revenge on the Clans? They were unmentioned, except in flashbacks, in later books. But when the Clans left their territories in Dawn, they could have come in and settled there. We just don’t know. If they did, Barley and Ravenpaw would have had to leave, because I doubt BloodClan would settle for that territory, and would want to expand. So there would be nobody to point Graystripe and Millie on their way to reunite on their way to find the new lakeside territories. All of this brings me to believe that, after their miserable defeat at Fourtrees, they went back to Twolegplace, told everyone who didn’t take place in the battle what happened, and then went to either Twolegs or to caring for themselves… all over again.
