**chapter 1 stormy arrival**

1 year later in moonclan.....

stormlight looked around the camp, today it was very quiet. he slipped into the tall grass, and saw the broken log. he crawled into the log and dove right out the other side. he went on walking until he saw the little tunnel. once he went inside he sensed that another cat was here. the tunnels were dark, especially because it was already night time. just then he felt something dash beside him. it must have been a mouse, since it was too small to be a cat. but then again it seemed too big to be a mouse. stormlight sniffed the air, but he couldn't quite figure it out. but whatever it was, it would not be a problem. it was too small. as he kept on walking through the tunnel, he caught the sight of a pair of glowing eyes. "who's there"? he asked. "stormlight is that you"? replied the thing in the darkness. stormlight twitched his ears, "goldendust"? "yes i'm goldendust".

stormlight relaxed, "what are you doing here"?," i didn't know you came here"

"oh i don't but"....

"but what"?

"hmmmmmm".....

"goldendust" um, have you seen a small creature around here"?

goldendust's ears pricked up.

"whats happening"?

"well um i'm actually here because i told her about the story...you know the one about the cave cats". "she believed me and pretended to go and take a nap but after a few minutes i saw her leave the den, and i followed her here...but i don't know where she went".

"who's she? and what story? what cave cats?" stormlight had no idea what goldendust was talking about.

"oh you know it's a long story"... goldendust said. "tell me"! stormlight yelled. "it's-it's really long". "well then who's she"?! stormlight needed to know. "well your not going to be happy"... "stop stalling"! "b-b-blossomkit-

that was all stormlight needed to know. blossomkit was his own kit. his mate had disappeared and later on that same day they found her, but she was no more. goldendust agreed to watch blossomkit until she got older. "we have to find her!" stormlight yelled. "i-i i'm sorry" goldendust said as she looked down at her paws. "just find her!" stormlight yelled, and started running. goldendust quickly sprang to her feet and dashed after stormlight. do you see "anything?" golden dust asked. stormlight tried hard to let his eyes get used to the dark tunnel, his vision was better now. he sniffed the air hoping he would get blossomkit"s sent. but all he got was the smell of dirt. "wait!, i think i got it!" goldendust gasped. "i think i got it too!" the two looked around they could slightly smell the kit. "i don't get it. the smells coming from beside us, but i don't see your kit". goldendust said. just then they heard scurrying sounds coming from the wall. Goldendust sniffed the wall. "do you think she's in there?" stormlight asked. "maybe" said goldendust as she pawed the wall. stormlight used his claws to scrape the dirt and rocks. finally they managed to make a small hole in the wall. goldendust peeked inside. "i think i see blossomkit!" "blossomkit are you there?" goldendust asked. "hmmmmm ummm" "blossomkit! how did you get in here?" " i-i don't know..." blossomkit said. " er... ok then...let's try to get you out" goldendust tried to get inside but she couldn't. "let me try" stormlight said and did what goldendust did. he managed to get his whole neck and head in. "ok blossomkit!, i'm going to pick you up now!" stormlight bent down and gently grabbed the scruff. once blossomkit was out, she had a somewhat guilty face. "never run off like that again!" stormlight snapped. "yes!, you should have known better!" goldendust yelled. "but-but-" "no blossomkit" said goldendust. blossomkit sighed and started walking away. "just where do you think your going? you are supposed to follow me". stormlight said. just then a black and white cat could be seen at the entrance.

chapter 2 visiters

the three raced out of the tunnel to meet the cat. "what is going on?" goldendust asked. "yeah! what going on?" blossomkit said with a smile. "don't smile blossomkit, whatever is happening doesn't seem to be very good". said goldendust. the cat noded.

"snowspot, why are you here? especially at this time?" stormlight asked.

"there's someone at the camp entrance!" snowspot said. "and they want to ask something"
stormlight started walking towards the entrance followed by blossomkit, goldendust and snowspot.

"hello!, we are wondering if any of you have heard of the storm cave". "why would we know?" goldendust said. the stranger rolled his eyes. " everyone knows!..well at least by now..." he said. blossomkit felt a shiver run down her back. "goldendust!, you told me a story about them!" blossomkit said in a whisper. "i know!, but do not trust these cats! they seem untrustworthy". blossomkit didn't know what to think about that. so she just nodded her head.
"your not from any clan that i know of!" said lightpaw which was pretty bold of him, since he was only a month older than her. the stranger cat said nothing of it. "one of you must know something!" he said. "maybe... you even know the final piece.." "what's the final piece?" blossomkit asked. "no one knows, and it's none of your business".said goldendust . blossomkit found herself staring at the stranger. then he stared back, then the two locked eyes for a second. and blossomkit couldn't take the awkwardness anymore. she quickly looked away and made an obviously fake smile. the stranger gave a sort of smile/frown. just then icestar walked over. "we do not know much about this. we only know what every else knows. he said somewhat calmly. the stranger nodded, and walked off. "now, please don't ask about this storm cave thing..." said icestar as he started walking over to some of the elders.

"sooooo" blossomkit said to no one really. " blossomkit, let's go back to the den" said goldendust. blossomkit nodded and followed her. once they were back at the den, blossomkit laid down on a smooth rock right beside the den entrance. she did not want to go back to sleep. even though it was still dark outside. "boo!" a loud voice from behind shouted. blossomkit was so startled she almost fell down from the rock. she turned around to see a small white kit, smiling. "whitekit!, you scared me! said blossomkit. "yeah, i know' he said. blossomkit rolled her eyes. "whatever, wheres wolfkit?" "oh, you two are always together, kind of like graystripe and firestar". "yeah i guess. i wish i could be like firestar though." said blossomkit. this time whitekit rolled his eyes. "you can't be like firestar!" he said. "i know.." said blossomkit. "well were from different clans. and he's already dead..." thought blossomkit. just then a blacky brown cat jumped out from nowhere. "wolfkit! blossomkit said happily. where were you?" "i was talking with lightpaw and vinekit". "vinekit" blossomkit said with disgust. "why? what's wrong with vinekit?" wolfkit asked. "nothing.. she just thinks shes so good..." "well at least she doesn't brag every second!" said whitekit. just then lightpaw walked over. "did you know that frostfeather is having kits?" the three shook their heads. "do you want to come and see?" he asked. "sure!" said blossomkit. once they made it to the nursery ivystone aperred. "are you here to see frostfeather?" lightpaw noded. "lightpaw, is that you?" "yes,frostfeather" said lightpaw. "oh and you also bringed some of the kits!" blossomkit peeked inside the den. "hi frostfeather! how are you?" "i'm ok, thank you blossomkit" "oh! hi fostfeather!" "squirreltail!" frostfeather said surprised. "hopepaw, say hello to frostfeather" squrrieltail said to an orange tabby that looked like her. hopepaw nodded. "hi, frostfeather, how are you? are you okay?" frostfeather sighed. " i'm sorry, but honestly, why is everyone talking to me like i'm hopeless or a weakling, i can take care of myself!" "ivystone sighed, "we just want to know if your alright". she seemed a little frustrated since she was always busy taking care of the sick or injured cats. oh well, she's having kit's for the first time, so she's definitely going to be grumpy. blossomkit thought. "hey! light paw!" said hopepaw "do you want to go to the pond?, maybe we can catch something!" "sure" lightpaw said. hopepaw nodded. "i'll wait for you there".she said and ran off. just then blossomkit could see dirttail and sparrowpaw up ahead. dirttail was swishing his dark brown tail back and forth impatiently as he watched his apprentice, who had fell down and was scrambling to her paws trying to catch up. "i wish i could be an apprentice..." blossomkit thought. 'well, goodbye frostfeather" lightpaw said. "goodbye!" frostfeather said. lightpaw started walking towards the pond. "hey!, can we go too?" whitekit asked. "er.. um sure?" 'yay!" said whitekit. once they reached the pond they saw hopepaw, she was drinking water. "hi hopepaw!" said wolfkit. "hi wolfkit" she said and had a confused look at lightpaw. lightpaw shrugged. then a small bird flew down to take a drink. hopepaw crouched down getting ready to leap, her eyes on her prey. and with one massive leap,she jumped and attacked the bird and picked it up. "i'll take this to the fresh-kill pile later. she said and dropped it on top of a huge rock. lightpaw looked at the pond, and then jumped inside. splashing water everywhere. "stop it!' blossomkit shrieked. lightpaw laughed and started running around the pound. so of course she had to run with him.

whitekit and wolfkit followed. happily splashing. "stop it!, you guys! your not from riverclan or rainclan!" hopepaw yelled. but she didn't sound one bit angry. once hopepaw seemed to realized that they were not going to follow her orders, she hoped into the pond too. 'ahh! it's cold!!! " she shrieked.
lightpaw laughed. and hopepaw smacked his head, playfully. "hey!, it's already morning!" blossomkit said with a smile.

yay!
