It was dark, or at least it seemed like it. All that was litup was from the stars.
Giant oak trees lumed above my head, how odd. Why wasn't the sun out? and what about birds and all the creepy crawlies?
A cold breeze whistled through his fur, making him shiver in the frigid air.
"Is….is it him…" The voice made him jump in fright, there where other cats here? But why couldn't I see them?
Then a squirrel sought out of the ferns a tail lengths away from me. And not far behind, 2 gigantic cats rushed out behind it. I could only catch a glimpse of them, one a...a pale gray she-cat, and a dark brown tom.
One of them called in what seemed to be a purr, "Slow down Ferncloud! i've only been here for 5 moons now and it's still a little weird for me!"
"You will get use to it with in time Dustpelt, but for now let's get that squirrel!"
With that both cats raced away. 'What did they mean by that? Are they from another land far from here?' I only shook my head, still trying to process where I am.
"It can't be him, he's still a kit!" This time, I was able to decipher where it could be coming from. But from what I could tell, it was a tom's voice.
"Why not watch…" A different voice started then drifted off, as if that cat knew…..knew I was listen.
"He's got sharp ears if he's trying to find us." Out of the corner of my eye, I saw something. It looked like fire, but moved like a cat!
"Wh….who's there!?" I tried to hiss, my hiss failed me and turned into a frighten meow.
"You're gonna scare him if you keep moving around in the shadows and if you keep acting like he's a plague!" A she-cat seemed to hiss in annoyance.
"Enough all of you! Yellowfang you will care…."
"I'm not caring for a young high strung kit! Get Firestar to do that!"
"Yellowfang stop being a mouse-brain and do the task!"
"Fine"
As if my presence was forgotten, I heard a whisper, it sounded like...like another kit! Or at least a kit older than me.
"Hey Ghost!...Yes you come here!" I felt a warm presence from this cat, and the shock of seeing a cat about the size of me, maybe an inch taller, stepped out of the ferns. It was a she-cat!
'Why am I so surprised about this!?' I shook my head as if my head was full of hay. The she-cat grunted. She was would be barely visible if the moonlight was covered up. But her fur was pitch black, and her eyes, they were green. Something about them scared me, but this she-cat looked like she could defy anyone cat that came across her path.
"Don't mind them, they always are a pain in the tail." The she-cat mewed, "Oh and my names Hollyleaf, Ghost"
"My names not….." Everything started to blur, Hollyleaf said something that I barely caught.
"Well will meet again, and when we do be ready"
'Be ready? Be ready for what?'
But as soon as I closed my eyes, I woke up on my nest of hay and cobweb.

'What a weird dream.' I thought. As dust fluttered down from above my head. Then I saw a white chest above my head.
'Of course'
"Uh you know i'm sleeping here…..right?" I meowed
"Oh since when did you hate getting dust in your pelt" Jazz sneered. Jazz was a orange tabby with a white underbelly and chest. She had ice blue eyes just like me, but here's where deeper, darker. She always teased me about my black and silver pelt. I never minded it.
"Come on smoky will eat all the mice without us!" Jazz meowed as she bonded away. Her orange tabby coat catching the light from a hole in the roof, turning it into a smoky flame. I raced after her.
When I made it to the ground, a mouse scurried in front of my paw. Instantly I killed it with a bite to the spine. Then I heard a hiss and looked the way the mouse ran.
"That was MY mouse, Danny!" Hissed Smokey. Smokey was a white cat with smokey gray patches on his body. He wasn't as young as he use to be so most of the time he was grumpy and telling stories that were out landish.
"Ye hunt like one of those wild cats! But their meaner and stronger! AND WILL RIP YOU APART" Smokey spat as he took the I cought and walked away muttering under his breath.
"Relax Danny you know he lost his marbles years ago! He's always making no sense." Jazz meowed to me. But his words reminded me of my dream. I couldn't suppress a shiver pelting up and down my spine.
"I'M NOT CRAZY!" Smokey hissed from somewhere in the barn. Jazz and me couldn't stop the giggles from erupting out of both of us.
But his words still echoed in my mind. And that's when it happened I thought i saw…...saw….e-eyes…..and not just any eyes. Green eyes! Then I knew that my dream had been real. But I kept smiling, for if I didn't Jazz would get antsy.

That night I in the woods, but this woods was….well I could feel a difference. I was walking through the woods when. Ferns parted and a gigantic tan and gold cat with mane like around his neck, raced through the woods with a dark gray she-cat racing after him.
They….they looked like they were playing….or hunting at the same time. The she-cat ran at me, fear seized me cause my paws were planted to the ground. I yelped but she ran straight through me.
"What the!?" I meowed a laugh sounded behind me. I turned to see the black she-cat from the night before, who called herself Hollyleaf.
"That's my brother, Lionblaze, and his mate Cinderheart." Hollyleaf said. "They are apart of Thunderclan" I looked at her with a confused expression "That's right you don't know them yet. But you will, soon…..Come on! we will miss the patrol!" Hollyleaf meowed. And took off with unnatural speed.
"Wait up!" Danny cried and charged after her. He was huffing by the time he made it. "How….How...come…you're….not tired?!" He puffed.
"I don't know" Hollyleaf said with such ease it scared him half to death.
"Where are we anyway?" Danny asked still trying to catch his breath.
"We are at the training hollow….I use to train here as an apprentice." Hollyleaf said with longing.
Danny was about to ask something else when Hollyleaf turned away from him and said "Our time is short! We will talk again at half moon, when the medicine cats walk with us."
"Wait!" Danny cried. "What do you want with me? I am an ordinary cat! How come you can't go and talk to your live kin!?"
'Live kin' felt strange to say those words, but they had to be said. Cause Danny was catching on, the dead cats, the dreams. But that question still remained. Why him?
Hollyleaf looked at him and the last thing he hear before she vanished was this
"Your destiny will reveal itself, Ghost….." And yet again Danny woke up in a pile of hay.

"That was some dream you were having." A scratchy voice said from the shadows. He easily identified Smokey.
"It was nothing" Danny muttered.
"Uh huh, well I heard you mumbling about wild cats. And the only wild cats I know are cats from Thunderclan." Danny stared at him, dumbfounded. "Danny, I look old, but I have seen them! Their strong! Their powerful!, They strike together! They are family…..So don't go and lie to me saying it was nothing." Smokey said and lumbered away.
Danny still looked shocked, when an idea struck him. The moor! Once when he was still a kit he saw something, something dark grey, flash at the corner of his vision.
Danny shook his head with irritation, 'NO Smokey is putting things in my head!' But something about what Smokey said, struck him like a hoof to the head, Maybe Smokey was right? Maybe there was a reason why he had been having these dreams…..Maybe he was to go to…..to...to this thunderclan?
He shook his head again, and hopped down from the loft. Jazz was nowhere in site, probably eating. He looked around and saw Smokey on the fence post, looking out at the moor.
Danny went over to join him, and Smokey sighed "I still think of her….I try to pick up her sent. But I know she's too far away from me." He turned to Danny and looked into his ice blue eyes. "If the dead cats are talking to you. Do what they want. You will be rewarded."
"But where do I start?" Danny asked uncertain.
"Ask the spirit cats next time you meet." Smokey said "Till then get ready, cause your life will change for good."
