Starclan's Hope

== Prolouge ==
“What are we going to do?” The white tom questioned. “We can’t do much, Bouldercloud”, replied, Skystar. The wind whistled heavily, leaving them to know something evil will happen. A dark cat comes forward and smirked. “There is much we can do..” Bouldercloud growled, “Why are you here?!” There was high tension between the Starclan and Dark Forest cats. A small cat with white fur and brown spot on her face murmured, “A cat will change all of clans history, no one can stop him.” “Which cat, Smudgeface?”, Skystar asked. “Why should we tell you? We don’t ally with Starclan. This is our little hint for you”, Sparrowbreeze replied. “Well it’s more than obvious to me. Sparrowbreeze is talking about his kits!”, Bouldercloud exclaimed. “But they’re not even Clan cats! How can they be part of the prophecy?”, Bluestar wondered aloud. “Well we’re not for sure if he’s talking about his kits…..”, Coldfoot said. Sparrowbreeze shrugged smirking, “Think of what you want.. This is just the beginning…” Sparrowbreeze turned around leaving the Starclan territory as the other cats from the Dark Forest follows. “We will have to hope he is just trying to scare us.” Coldfoot shook his head. “Never underestimate the Dark Forest cats, Especially my son.” They watched them go as the wind slows down... The wind is now gone as the trees are still as ever. “We must be cautious and watch and wait for the right time.” Bluestar murmurs shakily as she becomes dizzy, passing out. All the Starclan cats looked at each other in horror. If the Dark Forest cats are right… Then it’s just the beginning… They have to think fast before it’s too late.
== Chapter One ==
Spike watched his sister trot around the huge stump right outside the forest. “Don’t you ever want to explore the forest Spike? And meet other wild cats!?” His sister asked, excitedly. Spike knew the cats inside the forest were dangerous, they always were. He heard stories that they kill prey with their own bare claws. He shivers, he can’t even stop thinking about it! “I don’t know Leaf. There dangerous.” Leaf turns to face him and is silent, making him feel worried what she is going to do now. She then turns around and races toward the forest disappearing into the shadows.
He rolled his eyes waiting for her to come back thinking she was playing around but it was taking her a while to come back. The wind blows steadily making him feel worried. He decided to chase after her into the forest where their scents will be shone. He sees his sister hiding in a bush. He crouched near her whispering into a hiss, “What are you doing!?” His sister didn’t reply. She listened. It was so hard to think about as the leaves rustle and paw steps with voices coming toward them. The dark trees and barks hid them really well but not good enough for there scents. A cat meowed as he continued walking, “I can’t believe those rogues get half of the territory near our clan.” Another cat rolled his eyes and replied, “At least their not trespassing, Ivystrike.” Ivystrike shrugs glaring at Newtstone, “Why do you have a soft spot for them anyway?” He shrugs, “Cats are all the same in some way right? There at peace with us and we should have no worries. If were not at peace we kill them.” He replied, bluntly. Ivystrike nodded, “True. Come on we better get back to hunting before Featherstar claws our throats out.” Newtstone nodded and they padded side by side back to hunting. As there paws went one by one crunching on the leaves like they didn’t care. Leaf swung her head at Spike, “You almost got us caught, mousedung!” He rolled his eyes and glared at her, “Why are you out here, anyway?” She blinked at him, “I’m going to get some herbs. Wanna come with?” Spike shook his head, “No thanks.” Leaf rolled her eyes and started trotting toward Thunderclan calling from behind, “I will go by myself!” She started bolting away jumping over a small river.
Spike decided to follow until he heard a kit from afar crying for help. He sprinted toward the cry as he hissed aloud, “I’m coming!” He ran across not caring if he scares prey away. He jumps over a fallen log and jumped into the pond as he swimmed toward the kit. The water was rushing all around but he was strong enough to swim toward the kit. He picked the kit up by the scruff and swam toward the otherside dropping it on the cold ground from its scruff. He pawed the kit making sure he was alive. It took a while but he coughed up water and looked at him in gratitude. “Thank you!” Spike smiled pawing him at the head. A cat came padding toward them with three others at his tail. A she-cat runs toward the kit and groomed the thing. “Are you hurt?” The she-cat demanded looking at the kit. He shook his head smiling big and proud, “That cat over there saved me!” The she-cat ran toward Spike and they touched noses. “Thank you for saving my son!” Spike gulped at her beauty, he couldn’t speak. Is this how his sister fell in love? He smiled proudly, “Oh-Uh no problem!” A tom hissed his ears flat, “You don’t smell like a clan cat. You smell like a rogue!” Spike bared his teeth, “I was passing through but i found this kit almost drowning.” The tom turned around and murmured his tail kinked over back, “Follow me if you want to live.” He pads off glaring at his mate the other cats following behind Spike.
== Chapter Two ==
Spike followed him through the dark woods the wind blowing silently. It was silent all the way to an entrance as he follows the cat inside. A tall, not very strong, unattractive looking cat jumped down from the rock padding toward him his tail bobbing like he sees an enemy even though he saved the clans kit. “What is this rogue doing here Clawface?” The cat demanded at the tom. Spike smirked at the tom. “I found him saving my mates kit.” He replied, glaring at Spike. “He saved my kit though!” The she-cat pointed out. “Is that true, Ashflower?” The leader questioned. “Yes! But he never hurt my kit! He deserves to be welcome to Shadowclan!” She glances hopefully at Spike. “Very well then. He will be a very loyal warrior. Your name will be Shatteredclaw.” Spike didn’t like the name but he was happy he had a home. He looked thankfully at the leader, “I won’t let you down.” The leader nodded and looked at Clawface, “Show him around. Then send him to my den later on.” He nodded and looked at Shatteredclaw  giving him the signal to follow him.
== Chapter Three ==
Shatteredclaw poked his head through the den, his voice long and sharp not looking in. “May I come in?” The leader was silent for a while but then called back, “You can come in” Shatteredclaw moved inside through the vines. The den was small but big enough for three cats. “You needed me?” Shatteredclaw questioned, politely. The leader nodded, “Please call me Timberstar. Starclan told me you are destined to be a deputy, but i have a deputy all ready.” Now Shatteredclaw was confused, how is he gonna be a deputy then? “How am I gonna be an deputy then?” He asked. “You have to kill him and throw him into a pond.” Replied, Timberstar. “What about the other cats?” Shatteredclaw asked, feeling suspicious. “Leave that to me. Now go on.” He nodded and padded outside, the deputy racing after him. He left the camp and headed toward a river sitting down wondering how his sister is. He wouldn’t probably know until the gathering. He didn’t get much info but he knew all clans gathered peacefully. Hopefully she is alive. “What are you doing here alone?” Asks, the deputy. “To talk to you privately.” Replied, Shatterdclaw. “About?” She looks weaker than any. “About you.” She sighed, “It’s been a moon now.. Shatteredclaw since we been together, what else do you want?” Shatteredclaw nudged her, “To see my kit grow.” She looked down her tail all the way down like she did something bad like a dog. “She is at camp at the moment. No one knows who her mother really is.” He grinned, “Good.” He lunged at her digging his claws into her throat making her hard to breath she choked out, “What are you doing?!” She was losing it. He hated seeing the fear in her eyes. “I’m sorry. Starclan wanted this.” He slit her throat with his claws. Blood splatters on him. He was now the enemy in her eyes. But he did it for the right reason. This was the only way. There was cat’s coming. He threw her into the river as the blood goes all over the water and she floats slowly away. He shouts, “Help!”
Two cats bolted toward him seeing blood all over him as he puts in a fake scared face, “A dog dropped Tornfoot into the water! I needed help to get her out! I can’t swim but i managed to chase the dog and give him a piece of my mind!” The two warriors nodded and jumped into the bloody water as they swimmed toward the floating figure. One of them grabbed her by the scruff and pulled her toward the shore. The cat dropped her and frowned, “It looks like something else tried killing it too.” The trees whistle as the leaves whooshed around. “Starclan has answered. We carry her to camp and have share tongues.” Shatteredclaw stepped forward. “I’ll bury her. No one treated her respectfully. I loved her the most.” The cats nodded and padded toward camp. He looked at her as the clouds swarm over the forest and starts raining, his fur wet he looks down at her his fur dripping wet. She is some reason slowly breathing. Shatteredclaw cannot let anyone know what really happened. He wanted her to live so he grabbed her by the scruff and threw her into the water as she lays limp swimming with the current. He decides to wash the blood off and return to camp.
== Chapter Four ==
“I would like to announce Shatteredclaw as being the new deputy! In the honor of trying to save Tornfoot he deserves to become the deputy! I say these words before StarClan, so that the spirits of our warrior ancestors Tornfoot may hear and approve of my choice. The new deputy of Shadowclan is Shatteredclaw!” Meows of protests came from below the rock. Shattereclaw had enough of this and unleashed his claws growling so the whole clan can hear, “SILENCE!” The whole clan fell silent. “I am the new deputy and YOU WILL ACCEPT IT UNDERSTAND!?” One cat hissed, “What if we don’t accept?!” Shatteredclaw smirked, “You will die.” He padded toward Clawface and lunged at him clawing his ear as the thunder bolt strikes across the sky. He spat in his ear, “Next will be your other ear.” Clawface looked away fear showing in his eyes. Cat looked at both of them in shock. Shatteredclaw got off of him and nodded, “Everyone head to sleep! Patrols start tomorrow!” He turned around and headed toward his den. He dug his nose in his tail and closed his eyes. He woke up seeing he is not in his den anymore. This was dark. Dark fog all over. Where is he? The wind blows hard as the forever dark pitch black clouds moves together slowly. “You must be wondering where you are” He looked around seeing no cat around. “Who's there?” He smoke bravely with a hint of calmness. A dark cat comes forward dry blood against his fur. “They call me Rumor.” He meows. “I’m-” Rumor shook his head, “I know who you are Mouse Brain!” He glares at Shatteredclaw, He shook his head. “I must tell you something.” He nodded toward the bushes and looks back at Shatteredclaw. Cats started coming out of the bushes and formed a circle around Shatteredclaw and Rumor. “You must be the new leader of Shadowclan. We can form a battle but you must be the one who let’s the leader die. Starclan is already fooled.” Shattteredclaw frowned, “If you’re not Starclan… Who are you?” Rumor nodded ignoring his question as the cats and himself start fading into thin air. Shatteredclaw bolted toward a run to Rumor, “Wait! Where are you going?!”
== Chapter Five ==
“Shatteredclaw! Are you okay?” Bushflight asked. “I’m fine Bushflight…” Everything seemed so blurry in the warriors den. But now it becomes clear. He sighed and blinked at Bushflight. “So, what do you need?” She sat straight and tall, “Ashflower wants you to take you and her kit out for a tour outside the camp.” Now? Why now? I had an important dream. Thought, Shatteredclaw. “Alright thank you for telling me.” Bushflight nodded and was almost out the den until she turned around. “Don’t forget to send out patrols too.” She turns around once again and pads outside. Now that she is gone he would like to sleep but he has to talk to his other mate Ashflower, And check on his born kit, Runt. He padded outside his den feeling the cold air against his face. He probably should send out more hunting patrols there isn’t any more prey left. “Darkpaw.” The apprentice shot up from the ground and looked at Shatteredclaw in wide eyes. “Yeah?” He sighed. “Go choose another apprentice and get two extra warriors for a hunting patrol. Tell them I said so.” Darkpaw nodded and ran toward the apprentice den. Now that that was clear he needed a border patrol. “Clawface! Take four extra warriors with you. We need to stay on guard for any outsiders.”
Shatteredclaw bolted toward the nursery seeing one kit snuggle against a queen while his mate, Ashflower grooms hers. “Guess what Bramblekit! You are going to hangout with you father today!” He jumped up and down, squeaking excitedly. “Yay!” He bolted toward his father and jumped on him playfully.  Shatteredclaw pushed him off and rolled his eyes. This kit is too annoying. He picked up the kit by the scruff and padded outside the camp. There was a howl from the distant as they were playing mossball. “Daddy I’m scared.” Shatteredclaw shook his head and pawed at him, “It’s nothing runt.” There was a growl coming forward. “Run!” He nudges his kit harshly and the kit tries to begin running. Shatteredclaw realizes the dogs look twice as big so he sprinted off. He was close the camp when all of sudden he hears a faint cry.
== Chapter Six ==
“Runt!” Shatteredclaw yowls as he begins running toward the cry, Ashflower right at his tail. The trees zoom past them like it was speeding past them. The twigs crunch as they run on them toward their kit. Ashflower runs past Shatteredclaw and she dug her head into the kits limp body. “My little love. What happened to you?” The limp kit murmurs something, “Becare-” His eyes went tight shut as his body went still. “No!” She pawed the kit gently her eyes going down in tears. “You miss him don’t you?” Asks Shatteredclaw. “Of course i do! I would do anything to be with my only kit again!” Shatteredclaw makes an evil smirk.  “If you insist. “ He nods at her to follow him and he heads toward a strange den that isn’t very cat friendly. He nods, “You can see dead spirits inside.” Ashflower ran into the den trying to find her kit. Shatteredclaw sits there grinning toward himself. There was a distant cry at the end of the tunnel. “Well that’s the end of you.” A fox comes outside the den staring at him. Shatteredclaw nodded, “Thank you.” The fox grunted heading toward the kit to eat him.
== Chapter Seven ==
Shatteredclaw bolted toward the camp with his game face on. “There was a fox!” He breathes heavily with fake tears rolling down his face. “It ate my mate and kit!” The cats gasped in horror. “I couldn’t save them! I told them to hide but when i chased the fox out they were gone with blood remaining!” He bowed his head looking down. “Starclan will guide them to a good place.” Murmurs, Brokentooth. Timberstar leaps onto the highrock clearing his throat. “I have decided to become an elder. Many cats are dying, Starclan is sending us a message. But i think it’s time for the deputy to become the leader.” The cats cheered sadly because there was many cat deaths but few became suspicious but they kept their words to themselves. Shatteredclaw throws the leader off highrock and he hits his head against the ground.
== Chapter Eight ==
Frostkit leaps onto her tail playfully. She was the only one that was wide awake in the nursery. She was told to quit staying up by her mother, Plumpfeather. She then hears warriors crying in pain as her father claws them when they did something bad. He did it to her but not as hard she had her brother with to guide her but no one saw him. Most of time she wondered if he was actually dead but he says he is actually invisible and he isn’t really there like she is imagining him. She has no idea if she should believe him. Her father told her that her aunt is evil and kills many cats meaning two mother’s and her own brother! Her brother paws at her excitedly, “The gathering is gonna start in a few! We can go!” Frostkit shrugs, “I don’t wanna see my aunt that kills cats” Her brother kept his mouth shut thinking for a while. “Why do you think she killed them?” She sighed, “It’s quite easy. My daddy told me and if I don’t believe him he gets upset at me.” Her brother rolls his eyes and disappears once again. She got up and padded outside the den the honey smell from the medicine den coming through her nose. It smelled very delicious. She is now four moons old and her father told her she is going to be an apprentice early. She doesn’t want to be an apprentice just yet though. She wants to be a medicine cat but her father says there for cowards she would have to see her stinky aunt. Runningstorm snorted. “Shouldn’t you be in the nursery?” Frostkit shooked her head, “No. Daddy says I’m going to be an apprentice when we return from the gathering!” Runningstorm shook his head and grunted padding toward the rock. “I shall choose what cat will be coming to the gathering!” Timberstar announced.
== Chapter Nine ==
Doestar questioned. “Where have you been?!” ShatteredStar rolled his eyes and spoke calmly. “We had a mishap but we're here now aren’t we?” He lept onto the rock as Shadowclan spreads to meet the other cats.. Heatherstar sighed, “Now we are only missing Riverclan.” She sounded sassy and rude in the hint of her voice. “We shall start without them.” Shatteredstar meowed. The moon begins to brighten the clearing. “That cat looks to young to be in the gathering.” Doestar pointed out. “She is just small that’s all.” Snorted Shatteredstar sounding disapproving of that cat. “Everyone gather around we must start now as Riverclan is not here so we will start.” Yowled Shatteredstar. Featherstar runs and leaps on top of the rock and apologizes, “I’m truly sorry we are late. We had a mishap with our prey. But we are here now.” She nods and looks at Shatteredstar, “I’m sorry Shatteredstar..” With a hurt upset tone and continued. “You may go ahead.” Shatteredstar cleared his throat and nodded. “Well Shadowclan has been growing lately. New kits have been arriving! But death has been all over the place.. My beloved Mate and older deputy died. We still grieve for them.” Frostkit steps forward and hisses so loud the whole gathering can hear her, “Your a lier! You don’t grieve! I know the truth they were both your mates! And you killed my bro-” Runningstorm hisses in her ear, “Shut up he kills, mousebrain! I understand you're upset but since he killed my mate and since he threatened we can’t do much! I’m glad you're brave at least someone is… Good Luck when we get home…” Shatteredstar cleared his throat licking his chest. “Sorry about that she is still kit with quite the imagination!” He nods toward the Riverclan leader giving her the signal to go next. Featherstar began, “We have been well. Hollybranch has earned an apprentice who is doing well in her training. Leafpaw even helped Troutkit, who wandered off into Twoleg Place and received a wrenched claw. He is recovering though.” Then Thunderclan and Windclan told their news and the gathering was over. Shatteredstar followed Featherstar and gave her the signal to follow him. When they were alone he decided to open up about his little threat. “You look gorgeous tonight Featherstar.” He purred. “Why are you being so suspicious? Shatteredstar, I can tell you're hiding something.” He frowned. “Listen here mousebrain! If you don’t fall in love with me i will kill your deputy and your medicine cats.” Featherstar remained quiet. “No.” Shatteredstar lunges at Featherstar and pins her to the ground giving her a hidden scar right on her left ear. Featherstar gives a wail. “Okay I’ll do it! I won’t say a word.” She says looking away. Shatteredstar got off of her as he sees Leafpaw coming toward them. “Brother! I’m so glad to see you! And also, congratulations on becoming leader!”, she said. Featherstar looks at Leafpaw with scared eyes. “Come on, Leafpaw, we must go home……. We need to travel to the Moonpool tonight…..”, Hollybranch says. “Uh. Yes, of course…”, Leafpaw replies. As they padded away, Leafpaw glanced back at Shatteredstar once more, but he ignores her.  Shatteredstar turns around and pads with a mutter of how stupid his sister is. He nods at his medicine cat to follow them and then he leaves to go back to Shadowclan.
== Chapter Ten ==
Sunhaze runs after the other medicine cats. She yowls, “Wait!” She runs after them as twigs crunch under her paws the dirt hard like thorns.  She hissed one more, “WAIT!” She was getting out of breath as she was right behind them like a mouse length away. “Sunhaze? What’s wrong?” Hollybranch asked. “It’s Shadowclan.. We are not doing great..” She sighed. “Is it Shatteredstar?”, Leafpaw asked shyly. “He is evil! He killed them..!” Sunhaze shrieked, frowning. “Come on, you two! We need to get to the Moonstone, quick!”, Hollybranch called as she started running towards Mothermouth. Sunhaze frowned as they started to take off. They haven’t heard what she was gonna say! Leafpaw and Sunhaze chased after her. Soon, they made it to Mothermouth. It was eerily dark and quiet, making Leafpaw shiver. The three medicine cats padded into the cave, and Leafpaw saw a glistening light ahead. The crystal was beautiful, sparkling in the moonlight. “This is the Moonstone”, Hollybranch breathed. “Touch your nose to it.” Sunhaze rolled her eyes muttering. “I already know how to do this Hollybranch.” She touched her nose against the stone and closed her eyes on the stone floor.
Sunhaze opened her eyes seeing a patch of darkness. She looked around to try and find the medicine cats or Starclan cats for that matter. There was none. She saw cats dying, cats running into battle, Thunderclan all on their paws… Skyclan leaving the forest.. A clan with cats under a waterfall… Leafpaw?! She sees a vision of Leafpaw with a bunch of cats… One cat said. “Leaf are you sure you want to stay here forever?” Her voice came out into a whisper. “Yes.”
Sunhaze eyes widened. She betrayed her clan? The vision slowly fades. She wailed, “Wait! What does this mean?” A voice that seems to be somewhere but nowhere answers. “Your leader and his kit including leaf is fate. You may not know me. But I come from the Dark Forest. And this is a warning. Keep this to yourself because cats will betray you at the end. You will need to ally with Leaf and tell her only about your dream. Death is more than it should be. Goodluck Sunhaze!” She wakes up finding herself to be the first one awake. She sighed looking at Leafpaw’s moving body. “I will have to meet you tomorrow night.” Without any  trace,  Sunhaze gets up and begins bolting out of the cave heading toward Riverclan. Indeed, Riverclan. Not Shadowclan.
== Chapter Eleven ==
Sunhaze meows. “What took you so long?” She padded toward them as they begin talking.. Hollybranch looked at Leafpaw and said, “I know it’s early, but you must earn your full name..” “What? Already?, Leafpaw questioned. Hollybranch nodded and spoke, “I, Hollybranch of Riverclan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. She has trained hard to hard to understand the ways of a medicine cat and with your help, she will serve her clan for moons. Leafpaw, do you promise to uphold the ways of a medicine cat, to stand apart from the rivalry between clan and clan, and to protect all cats equally even at the cost of your life?” “I do” Leafpaw replied. Sunhaze rolled her eyes as they kept going on with the medicine cat ceremony. I need to talk to Leafwhisker now! This is important! She hissed, “Finally you're done! Now Leafwhisker! I need to talk to you!”  “What is it, Sunhaze?”, Leafwhisker asked. “It’s about your brother.” She sighed. When Hollybranch called, “Leafwhisker we need to get back to camp!” Leafwhisker looked over her shoulder and said, “Ugh...okay……” She hisses loudly, “Your brother is a killer! He killed all of them! Be Careful who you trust!” She says as they begin running off. She frowns, Leafwhisker doesn’t deserve having an awful brother. She should head back. It’s starting to rain. She padded into the forest the cold wind blowing through her fur. Rain starts dropping as she follows the small pathway leading to a huge path where monsters go. She started sprinting toward the other side as the monster flew and hit her her yowl was so loud even Thunderclan can hear it.
== Chapter Twelve ==
“Hey Frostkit! I need to talk to you..” Meowed Shatteredstar. Runningstorm eyes and stays with Shatteredstar. “What’s going on?” He asked. “Father and Daughter Bonding. No worries Runningstorm! Just make sure the clan is still alive.” He sighed and looked at Frostkit, ashamed. He slowly turns away following the cats up ahead. “Now you mousedung.. You are really such a mouse.. How dare you tell and speak like that! Now all the clans are suspicious..” Frostkit leans to the ground, afraid. “I’m sorry daddy!” “I don’t forgive you!” He clawed Frostkits ear and picks her up and throws her into the water. Runningstorm hisses and runs to try and save her but he was too late. He yowls, “Frostkit!!!!!” He lowers his head, he wanted to kill Shatteredstar but knew he would be punished he hopes Starclan saves her..
Frostkit tries swimming upward to stay alive,But then everything turns dark. She opens her eyes as she sees nothing but darkness. This was probably the day she should die. She did nothing to make her father happy. She doesn’t know why she said what she said during the gathering.. Why or how did she say that? She closes her eyes as she loses her breath…
== Chapter Thirteen ==
Sunhaze hears paws thundering toward her.  “Sunhaze! What happened?”, Leafwhisker asked“ A monster…..it…...hit...me……”, She sighed as her breathing started to slow. “Get her to camp...hurry!”, Hollybranch exclaimed. They picked her by the scruff she felt like she was being lifted to Starclan. She can’t die yet! Leafwhisker needs to get away from here.
Frostkit feels teeth dragging into her scruff is she finally gonna be free? She coughed up water feeling too tired to speak. She struggled to get up and shook herself still to tired to speak, but she knows now that Leafpaw is the good cat. She saw Leafpaw drowning. She had to do something! She yowls. “Someone help! Leafpaw is drowning!” A cat jumps in saving her. She watched the water as the cat swims back up carrying Leafpaw body to shore. She hurried toward Leafpaw the warrior keeps her away. The cat grabbed her by the scruff with Frostkit following.
Leafwhisker awakens as her eyes adjusted toward the medicine den. Frostkit sighed in relief. “You're alive!” She watched her steadily as she slowly opens and closes her eyes. She waited a while and continued again, “Thank you for saving me, Leafpaw!” She smiled, proudly at her savior.  “It’s Leafwhisker now.”, replied Hollybranch. “I-I didn’t know!” Frostkit stammered, ashamed. Hollybranch rolled her eyes and muttered. “You should have. Mousebrain.” She continues to watch Leafwhisker. “Frostkit yelled for help, and I heard her. I jumped in to save you….you almost died”, Newtstone sighed not looking at Leafwhiskers eyes. “Leafwhisker…”, murmurs Frostkit. “Yes?”, asks Leafwhisker.  “There is something I need to tell you”, she, frowns. Hollybranch leaves the room. Leafwhisker tries to sit up, and does with the help of Newtstone. “It’s about your brother and Shadowclan including the Darkforest… Someone visited me… We- Are connected!”
== Chapter Fourteen ==
Frostkit sighed, shakily. “What?”, asked Leafwhisker. A cold breeze goes through Frostkit’s fur. “We’re Related-” She was about to finish how until Leafwhisker interrupts confused. “How?” Frostkit sighs and glares at her as Newtstone just stares at them. “Let me get there.. You see. Your brother fell in love with two cats… He lied to every clan… He killed my brother-” She began tearing up, looking down as she finished, “ He killed both of his mates! My mom… He is my father!” Before anyone else get to say anything she continued. “Shadowclan is being worse he kills weaklings. Like I said he is a liar!” She frowns looking at the two cats in shock. She could tell her Aunt is taking all this terribly in. She probably can’t handle. She couldn’t either. Sunhaze started twitching uncontrollably making shivers go down Frostkit’s spine.Leafwhisker shrieked. Sunhaze looked at the group of cats with white eyes. “Leafwhisker, you have until sunrise to escape. Your brother can and will kill you. You’re in danger. Run. Run!” Then it was over. Sunhaze had died. This is horror. But Sunhaze was right! Frostkit looks back at the other two as they seem to hold eye contact. Leafwhisker looked down, and cried.
“Don’t cry, Aunt Leafwhisker! We all have to be strong! Everything is happening to quickly.” She murmurs as she was starting to cry as well. “You can’t tell this to anyone! Featherstar had to already make a promise to Shatteredstar.” She felt to guilty and ashamed calling him her father. Hollybranch appeared.“Okay, Frostkit, you can sleep in the nursery with Silversong, I think Cloudkit would enjoy some company.” Frostkit hisses, “Why don’t you tell her the truth.” Hollybranch simply looks at her. Then turns and leaves. She chases after her, leaving the den.
== Chapter Fifteen ==
Coldfoot frowned. “At Least now, Leafwhisker knows to get away now..” His brown spotted fur showed in the sunlight.  “We have to teach a lesson to Leafwhisker.” Hissed Ashflower. A white with blue eyes short tom pads into the small clearing. “We have worse things to talk about then Leafwhisker with her love life.” “Like you ever had love in your life.” Muttered an old dark grey tabby elder.  The white tom gave a long sigh. “Well-” Thunderstar raced toward them in, shock. “We have a betrayer. I think it’s Newtstone.” A red-ish brown she cat hissed. “Why would my son betray the love of his life?” “Because.. He isn’t himself let’s just say… I- I think he is visiting the wrong crowd, Greymoon. I’m sorry.” Greymoon threw a tantrum. “My son can’t be the betrayer! I don’t believe it! I have to talk to Leafwhisker!” “Wait!” Yowls, Thunderstar as Greymoon runs to Leafwhisker.
Greymoon runs like a cheetah toward Leafwhisker. “Leafwhisker!” “Um, yes? Who are you?”, Leafwhisker asked. “You may not know me but your mate does! How is he doing?!” She looks quite worried and scared.  She is hoping nothing is happening and Thunderstar is wrong. “Mate? I’m a medicine cat! But, I can’t lie to Starclan….I think I have feelings for someone……..”, Leafwhisker replies. Greymoon shakes her head and looked her with a straight face as three other cats chases after her. Thunderstar growled, “We weren’t gonna tell her yet, you mousebrain!” Tornfoot glances at Leafwhisker wanting to ask her a question as the two fight. Tornfoot hissed, “Silence you act like crazy kits! We will tell her prophecy now…” She shook her head and licked her chest. She looks up at Leafwhisker and sighed. “Related or not as this appears… All cats die anyway… Danger is alerted and dark and light fight against each other. Only a powerful group will save them all…” The vision starts disappearing as she watches Leafwhisker disappear she nodded and tried talking but she was already gone.
== Chapter Sixteen ==
“Why won’t you tell her?” Frostkit  growled. “What are you talking about, Frostkit? You're not even supposed to be here.” Meowed Hollybranch. “You're her mother!” Meowed, Frostkit. “How do you know that?” Asked Hollybranch. “I never told anyone..” Frostkit sighed. “ I have no idea but, i know you're her mother!” She rolled her eyes and flicked her tail. “Go to sleep mousebrain. You're leaving tomorrow.” “You can’t do that! He is evil! He will kill any cat at any cost!” Frostkit runs toward the camp entrance, leaving without being noticed.
“Leafwhisker!” Hissed Hollybranch she needs to find her before the kit drowns herself again. “Leafwhisker!” She hisses again once again. “What do you want? I’m tending to Flowerstream”, Leafwhisker sighed and then walked back to the sick cat.  “It’s Frostkit!” She meowed nervously, “She umm-” It’s better not to worry her otherwise she can’t think clearly. She would have to find the kit herself. “Umm- To find her in hide n seek…?” That was a close one, too close. She thought. She might need to ask Newtstone for help, she would be more than happy to get rid of the kit but the kit is related to… “Um, Hollybranch? Are you okay? Also, where is Frostkit?”, Leafwhisker questioned. “Uhmm.. She is-” Hollybranch quickly looks at the nursery and looks back at her with a fake smile. “Sleeping in the- nursery! She just returned! I better find- I mean make sure she is still alive.. Heh..” Leafwhisker looks at Hollybranch and rolls her eyes. “Okay then…….well I guess you better go check if Frostkit is still…..alive?”, Leafwhisker says.  “You have no idea.” She licked her chest, embarrassed. She hisses, running to the nursery. “Listen to me, Moonsong.. Cover me up say.. I went to take a walk wait no don’t say that! Say, I went to teach Frostkit to swim! Don’t mess this up Moonsong!” “Got It!” “Okay now I have to find Newtstone!” She quickly runs outside the nursery and heads to the warriors and hisses loud in his ear, “Wake up you little dormouse! Before I rip you to shreds! We have an emergency.” “Aah!”, he yelled and started thrashing his paws. He hit SOME CAT. “You mousebrain! Listen I can help you with your fishbrain dream if you help me with a big problem.”
Hollybranch said angrily. “Problem?” he asked her, confused. She sighed, “I upset Frostkit and now she’s run off somewhere. I have to find her before she goes ahead and kills herself.” Newtstone thought for a moment, then replied, “Well what’s in it for me?” “I can get you an excuse to sleep in the medicine den.” She answered, slyly. ”“Why would I want to-”, Newtstone began, but was cut off by Hollybranch, who said, “Who else sleeps in the medicine den?” “Uh, Leafwhisker?”, Newtstone replied. “Well I know you don’t get those Dark Forest dreams when you’re with Leafwhisker”, Hollybranch said as Newtstone looked at her wide-eyed. “H-how did you know about that?”, he asked. Hollybranch laughed, “It’s obvious! You’re always twitching and moving and don’t think I didn’t notice that scratch! Now hurry up! We have to find Frostkit!”
== Chapter Seventeen ==
We’ve tracked the whole territory and couldn’t find her! Maybe she just went back to camp!”, Newtstone said, annoyed. Hollybranch hissed, “I hope to Starclan she is... I don’t want my tail slice off.”
. By my own daugh- I mean apprentice- wait I mean-!” Newtstone looked at her through narrowed eyes and questioned, “Did you just say daughter?” She looked around embarrassed, “I met urm.. Underwater..Clean your ears out or are you thinking about Leafwhisker again?” She frowns, right at him. “I wasn’t…..I’m pretty sure you said-”,Newtstone started before Hollybranch interrupted. “We better make sure that Frostkit went back to camp.. Let’s go…” She turns around and bounds toward the camp without anymore conversations.
“Let’s hope she is back..” Mutters, Hollybranch.  “Hollybranch, I thought that you were making sure Frostkit was still alive?”, there was an unknown distant voice sounding rather familiar. Oh no, thought Hollybranch. She began,  “Frostkit is alive, actually.. She is hiding once again in the camp!” She muttered to herself, “Hopefully..” “I have good hearing, Hollybranch, what happened to to Frostkit?”, Leafwhisker asked.  She sighed, “You're not going to like this.”
“What is it? Just tell me!”, Leafwhisker cried, wanting to know what happened to Frostkit. “It’s not about Frostkit.. It’s about your mother.. She is alive..” Moonsong brings in her mouse and sits down in front of Leafwhisker, eating it. Leafwhisker asked, getting excited. “She is in front of you!” She, smiled. “Moonsong? You’re my mother?” She asked, surprised.   Moonsong nods and says, “Yes, I am.” Hollybranch growled, “You're not her mother! I am!” The two started arguing
== Chapter Eighteen ==
Frostkit scrambled across the path and bounds toward a cave huge and big. “Where am I?” She thought to herself as warm breeze comes through her fur, no shivers shone at her. Whispers were all over in the cave making her get bad vibes. “Hello?” She asked her, her voice echoing in the cave. “Help” the voice echoed through the cave. “I’m here! Just- Keep talking!” Frostkit murmured, trying to find the cat. “I’m over here” The voice echoed through the dark path, “I’m coming!” She trotted toward the and a cat lunges at her and growls, “You will find me Newtstone we will be together. And if you break this promise making me stuck as a rogue i will kill you.. Oh mighty one..” The unknown feline grins with creepy bloody teeth, her voice was soft but quiet but loud it was so hard to describe. “I-I promise, just don’t hurt me.. Please.” She gets off of her and sits there as they wait for someone to help them. “Leafwhisker!” Frostkit leaps up and runs to her purring in delight. “Frostkit!”, Leafwhisker exclaimed as she ran up to the kit. The black she cat watched the kit ran to Leafwhisker. So this she cat is the cat who takes her Newt away? “Newtstone!” She ran up to Newtstone rubbing herself against him, sending her scent onto him. “Who is this cat?” She glares at Leafwhisker. “ “That’s my, um, mate!”, Newtstone stuttered. “Medicine cats can’t have mates.. That’s the rules..” She frowns. “Newtstone I’m expecting…” She wines. “WHAT?!”, Leafwhisker cries. “Wait….but I-I never even….mated…..with you! How does that even work?!”  “You liar you're a terrible mate, but that’s why I love you!” She purrs, delighted. Frostkit frowns, “We should all back to camp and you guys can deal with this when we get back..” She began to travel back to Riverclan with Leafwhisker calming her down. “Wait! Leafwhisker!”, Newtstone calls but it’s too late. “You are a terrible cat! You made a lie that just ruined my relationship! I’ve never loved you and I never will!” Ravenflight lowered her head, ashamed. “Newtstone, I have to tell you something.” She sighed. Newtstone ignored her, he was going to find Leafwhisker. “Newtstone you don’t have to answer me but Dark Forest found a way to send evil cats down here stay away from the Moonstone…”
“Oh! You found her!”, Hollybranch exclaimed as Leafwhisker, Newtstone, and Frostkit padded through the entrance.
