Hello my Warrior Cats fans! As you can see I've decided to rewrite to this story since I haven't been keeping up with it. I've been sort of stuck with writers' block and life's been kind of busy with Christmas Break, finals, and school in general. So now I'm back! Hope you all enjoy Fire and the Tiniest Claws (Rewrite) as much as you liked the original version! :D Please keep in mind that the first few chapters won't be rewritten or changed completely. I will begin the rewriting process at chapter 4/5 and beyond. This means the original version of these chapters will be deleted and rewrites entirely! So without further ado... R&R

Prologue

Ginger was curled up fast asleep against her mother's side. All around her she could feel the warmth of her littermates as they slept. Unfortunately the time for sleeping was going to end sooner than she would've liked.

"Wake up, Ginger!"

The small orange kitten jerked awake with a gasp as something warm, fluffy, and alive landed right on top of her. She automatically leaped onto her paws, the sudden movement causing her attacker to fall off with a muffled 'oof' and 'ow'.

Looking over her shoulder, Ginger saw that her 'attacker' was in reality her jet-black brother Tiny. Her eyes glanced over to the window and saw nothing but darkness. This was all the orange kitten needed to know that it was still nighttime.

Her green eyes turned back to her littermate. "Really, Tiny?" Ginger hissed, completely annoyed that she could still be asleep if it weren't for him.

The other kitten backed up a few steps, his blue eyes scared. "I-I-I just w-wanted you to come outs-side w-with m-me to l-look at t-the s-stars," her much smaller brother stuttered without meeting her eyes, shuffling his paws.

Almost immediately Ginger felt her anger fade. Heaving a sigh, she stretched her neck forward and touched his ear with her nose. "I'm sorry," she murmured gently before leaning away and standing up. "Come on, let's go."

Together the two siblings walked out of the cat flap and out into the moonlit yard. The neatly trimmed grass shone silver, except for the dark shadows that stretched across the lawn from the wooden fence that bordered the yard. In a corner of the garden there was a tree, its branches heavy with green leaves. A light breeze sighed from the forest that stretched out from beyond the fence. In the distance an owl hooted, causing Tiny to jump in fright.

Ginger pressed against him in comfort. "It's all right," she soothed. "You're safe."

Tiny looked up at her with wide fearful eyes. "Are you sure?" he asked.

She purred. "Yes, I'm sure. I won't let anything or anyone hurt you," the orange kitten promised him.

For a moment there was silence as they sat down and looked up at the night sky. Silvery specks could be seen dotting the black veil and the stars seemed to twinkle cheerfully down on them. Suddenly a streak of silver flashed across the sky, and Ginger knew if she had blinked she would've missed it.

"Whoa!" Tiny gasped before turning to her, his icy eyes shining with excitement. "Did you see that Ginger!"

Again the orange kitten purred and nodded. "Yes, I did."

"Where do you think it went?" he wondered, searching the night sky for the silvery trail that had blazed behind the shooting star.

"I do not know," Ginger told him before repeating, "I do not know."

In a deserted clearing surrounded by a bramble barrier, a bright ginger tom and speckled gray tom sat alone, staring silently up at the clear night sky. They too suddenly saw the shooting star that blazed over the treetops.

The speckled gray tom gasped and the fur along his spine bristled while his tail twitched.

"What is it, Goosefeather?" the bright ginger tom questioned, yellow eyes shining like twin moons in the darkness.

"It was a message from StarClan!" Goosefeather breathed after a moment of silence, his eyes now focused on his companion. "A prophecy."

At the mention of StarClan, the younger tom had his full attention on the other. "What was the prophecy?"

Goosefeather looked away and turned his gaze back to the stars, a distant look coming into his pale blue eyes. "With the tiniest of claws, fire will save our Clan," he rasped.

"Fire?" the bright ginger tom echoed, eyes narrowing in confusion.

Goosefeather blinked and met the other tom's gaze. "Yes, Sunstar, fire. But keep it in mind that fire doesn't always mean destruction," he warned. "It can also have the power to protect and bring new growth."

Sunstar blinked before looking back at the stars. "If StarClan has spoken, than it must be so," he mewed. "With the tiniest of claws, fire will save our Clan."
