Me: Warrior Cats! :3 My first fanfic for this category! YAYZ! X3 This takes place after Fading Echoes

Kei: She doesn't own them, Erin Hunter does.

Jayfeather spread out his herbs for the fifth time that day. There was absolutely nothing to do this past moon. No one got sick, or hurt, not even a thorn in the paw! Jayfeather sighed inwardly and gazed at the herbs with blind eyes. Firestar was sharing tongues with Sandstorm, Ivypaw was play fighting with Toadstep, and Cherrykit and Molekit pounced onto each other, playing warrior. But Jayfeather couldn't see any of this, just sensed the playful and content aura surrounding his clan mates.

As he sighed again, a panicked mew startled him.

"Jayfeather! Dovepaw is missing!" Jayfeather caught the scent of his brother, Lionblaze, "Come on! We have to find her!"

Jayfeather ran out with his brother. He had no sense where he was going, until…

SPLASH!

Jayfeather stood up and spat out a fish that had came into his mouth.

"Look Lionblaze! Jayfeather caught some prey!"

Jayfeather recognized the voice of Dovepaw, and Lionblaze's laughter. He waded out and made sure that Dovepaw and Lionblaze got some droplets onto their fur.

"Hey! You got me wet!" Dovepaw protested and started lapping at her gray pelt. Lionblaze and Jayfeather lapped at theirs. Lionblaze's golden fur shone, and Jayfeather's silver shined.

"What was that for guys?" Jayfeather's annoyed mew seemed to entertain mentor and apprentice.

"You've been all locked up in your den that you've been separated from everyone else," Dovepaw stopped to vigorously scratch behind her ear, "So we thought we could have fun with you!" she mewed.

"Oh yeah?" Jayfeather pounced on the two cats and they play fought until…

"I smell ShadowClan!" Dovepaw sat up and her blue eyes widened when Tigerheart emerged from the thicket, covered in blood, a slash on the left side of his pelt, and a nick in his ear.

"What happened!" Jayfeather rushed forward and caught the ShadowClan warrior before he fell, and he landed squarely on Jayfeather's shoulders.

"Jayfeather, we need to bring him to camp, Dovepaw, support his head, Jayfeather, his rump," Jayfeather grunted in disgust, "and I'll support his body, come on."

Before they rachd the camp, Thornclaw emerged from the warrior's den and raised his shackles as he smelled ShadowClan, but stopped when he saw TigerHeart's blood sodden fur and scratches. Firestar rushed down from High Ledge and gasped at TigerHeart. Jayfeather gently put him down on a pile of moss and quickly gathered some herbs. He got some poppy seeds, comfrey, tansy, and cobwebs and started to work. What seemed like moons later, Tigerheart looked like new.

"Tigerheart, what happened?" Jayfeather's worried mew filled Tigerheart's ears.

"Let me announce it, the whole clan needs to hear this."

Jayfeather supported him as they joined Firestar on Highledge. Tigerheart struggled to steady himself.

"Hello ThunderClan, I have news to why I am here," he stopped as murmers filled the clan gathered below, "I was about to be appointed deputy of ShadowClan, but many of my former clan mates challenged me and Blackstar. They told him he only picked me because he wanted another Tigerstar. So a fight broke out, I lost, and Blackstar banned me from ShadowClan. And now I am pleading to you all, please let me join ThunderClan, ot's my last resort, other than being a rogue."

He glanced nervously around the clan as they put heads together to murmur amongst the themselves. Firestar stood up and yowled, "We shall take him in, and he will be valued amongst us, for he has ThunderClan blood running through his veins." He nodded toward Brambleclaw, who bowed.

"Now, Tigerheart, do you promise to be loyal to only ThunderClan, and never even think of going back to ShadowClan?" His green gaze came to the brown tabby tom.

"I promise, and I will never return to that ungrateful camp ever again!" at his last remark, the cats of ThunderClan yowled in aggrement.

"Tigerheart, Tigerheart!"

"So I now pronounce you a member of ThunderClan," Firestar rested his muzzle on Tigerheart's head.

Dovepaw ran up to him, and he purred while nuzzling her head. Ivypaw seethed and walked up to Tigerheart, waving her tail in front of him.

"Let's go to the shore together Dovepaw, we need to talk," Tigerheart pointedly ignored Ivypaw and beckoned Dovepaw to the camp entrance. Ivypaw stalked away and fumed by the fresh kill pile.

At the shore of the lake, Tigerheart faced Dovepaw, "I need to tell you something that I should have told you a long time ago. I-I have been training with Tigerstar and Hawkfrost, and whats more, there are other cats. I need to tell Firestar, I know, but I wanted to tell you first."

Dovepaw put her muzzle on his shoulder, "It's ok, you're safe now, you tell all these things to Jayfeather, we are fighting against the Dark Forest, you can help too." She gazed at his amber eyes.

"Ok…"

At the gathering…

Firestar walked up on the great oak, "My medicine cat has gotten a message from StarClan, and I have something to tell all of you." He nodded to Jayfeather.

"I have news. StarClan has come to me and have told me, the Dark Forest is the place where all the bad cats go, and Tigerstar is there," some cats gasped, "A battle is rising, and I already know the cats who have been training under Tigerstar, Hawkfrost, and Brokenstar. Tigerheart was one of them, but he is now on our side. Breezepelt, Heathertail, Ivypaw, and Dawnpelt, justify yourself before StarClan and tell the truth.

Breezepelt yowled and attacked the blind medicine cat, but to everyone's surprise, he unsheathed his claws and cuffed the black warrior over the ear. He yowled and stumbled. Heathertail, Dawnpelt, and Ivypaw stood ground, and left the gathering.

"Was there any cat from RiverClan?" Mistystar looked disgustedly at the bleeding WindClan warrior.

"No"

The gathering cats stayed silent as Breezepelt left, and then…

"Awkward silence," Graystripe meowed and everyone snickered nervously.

"And my secret. Many moons ago, an old cat told me a prophecy. Three cats, kin from your kin, will hold the power of the stars in their paws." Authority and sureness filled his mew, and the cats looked mystified.

"We shall discuss this in our clans, we will finish this next gathering," Blackstar called it to a close and the cats filed out.

Me: How about it? Shall I continue?
