Chapter 1

Up in Starclan, there was a cat never seen by anyone, not even the cats of Starclan!! But that cat is named Nightcloud. She was eaten by a badger, but was never really mourned. She could only be seen by the cats she wanted to see her. I'll tell you the story of what happened…..

"YES!!!!!!!" Leafpool did her victory dance. "WHOOOOOOHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Jaypaw looked in her direction in disbelief. "What are you doing?" he asked. "Nothing." said Leafpool secretly. Jaypaw tackled her and managed to get something she was holding in her mouth. "AHA!!!!" he cried out. "So this is what you're doing!" In his mouth he held some cat blood soaked on some moss. "Are you going to put this on Nightcloud? If that's the case, I'll help you." Leafpool looked at him in shock. "Really?" she asked. "Yup." Jaypaw said. "Crowfeather is helping, but doesn't want Nightcloud to know." said Leafpool dreamily. "Tonight's the gathering, so I will give it to Crowfeather and he will somehow get Nightcloud to roll in it."

"Won't she smell the scent of cat blood? And how'd you get the cat blood in the first place?" asked Jaypaw intently. "Well," Leafpool began, "She won't smell it because I put herbs all over the moss, though she won't be able to see it from the dim light from the moon and stars because it's so faint and I got cat blood from yesterday's battle with Shadowclan." Suddenly, they heard Firestar's call and headed out the camp to the Gathering.
