Chapter One

"Over the mountains, and through the valley, there you will find what you are looking for" Purdy's mew still echoed in Ravenpaw's ears. He and Barley had felt the obvious absence of the clans, and when Greystripe and his new mate Mille had found them, stating they would find a way to reach Thunderclan, Ravenpaw had wanted to go with them. Barley had at first been reluctant, and he still was, but he was trying; at least now he was used to their new companions.

"Well at least we made it over the mountains in one piece" Greystripe commented ahead of them, out of the group he was the most eager to be home.

"Yeah thanks to the tribe of rushing Water" Ravenpaw agreed, they had almost lost their way in the mountains, but the tribe cats had found them and helped them through their home and towards the valley, where they were at currently.

"I hope those mountain cats were right" Barley muttered behind him.

"They said the clans passed through the mountains on their way to their new home, so they have to be" Ravenpaw stated.

"I'm just worried the clans moved again" Millie meowed, she and Barley were trotting beside each other.

"Firestar wouldn't let that happen" Greystripe meowed confidently. Ravenpaw was instantly swept back to another time, when he, Greystripe and Firestar had all trained together as apprentices. Back then Ravenpaw's mentor Tigerstar had been plotting to take over Thunderclan; only Ravenpaw and his two friends had known the truth. Because of Tigerstar, Ravenpaw had to leave the clan.

"Hey Ravenpaw! Look!" Barley raised a paw in the direction of a large building, right next to a barn. Ravenpaw's heart ached as he remembered his and Barley's old home, it had also been destroyed by twolegs.

"And look there's cats!" Greystripe and Ravenpaw took off. There were two cats, siting on what looked like hay bails. Barley and Millie raced after them. Finally they reached the cats.

"Woah, you guys nearly scared me out of my fur!" the grey and white tom hissed.

"Sorry" Millie apologized for them.

"Have you seen a large group of cats go by here" Greystripe demanded, his fur on end in excitement.

"You mean the clan cats?" the she cat asked.

"Yes!" they all shouted.

"Where are they, did they move again!" Greystripe asked.

"Are they ok?" Ravenpaw added.

"Yeah they're fine, they live right here by the lake" the tom said, he flicked his tail towards the shining expanse of water.

"Thanks, let's go!" Millie said, they were about to start racing toward the lake territories when the tom enterupted.

"Wait! You're going now!"

"Yeah, so" Barley asked.

"It's going to be dark soon, and it's a long way to the lake still, why don't you stay here for the night" the she cat suggested. Barley's eyes lit up.

"Sure" he said, "after all we could use some rest before we head to Thunderclan". Grestripe sighed, but nodded; he knew they needed rest.

"Thunderclan?" the tom said, "that's where Daisy's living now isn't Floss" he turned to his mate.

"Who's daisy" Millie asked.

"She's my other mate" the tom explained, "she left with our kits a while back to live with the clan cats on the other side of the lake"

"Oh" was all Ravenpaw said, sounded just like Firestar to let a cat stay.

"Anyway, I'm Smoky and this is Floss" the tom said.

"I'm Greystripe, and this is Ravenpaw, Millie and Barley" Greystripe introduced them.

"Great nice to meet you" Smoky said, he and Floss jumped down.

"Follow us" Floss called over her shoulder as they padded towards the barn.
