Welcome to the sequel of my story, Dark Secrets Book 1: Truth! Yay! The allegiances below are only for Starlight and Blacklight because they are the main StarClan 'clans' in this story. I have taken characters from the original series, and for the kits (Briarkit, Bumblekit, Blossomkit,) and apprentices (Foxpaw, Dawnpaw, Flamepaw, Tigerpaw) I have created my own Warrior names. In MY StarClan, cats can have kits, because the cats stop growing when they receive their Warrior name. It may sound kind of weird now, but it adds more drama to the plot later on. Constructive criticism is always welcome!

Prologue

"Sunstar!" a silver tom mewed. "It's Blacklight! They're invading!"

"Now?" a pale gold she-cat turned to face the tom. "How? I thought there was a dusk patrol out there?"

"Was is correct," the tom mewed. "It seems that Blacklight has gotten stronger since we last met." The she-cat froze, her fur bristling.

"We have to set up a team of Warriors to defend the camp. Swiftpelt, I need you, Gorseclaw, Greystripe and Briarclaw guarding the entrance to the camp," she meowed. "We need all the defense we can get." In the heart of the Starlight camp, cats dashed around, frantically trying to figure out what was happening to them. A grey and black she-cat ran around the clearing, her eyes glazed with worry.

"Smokepaw!" she she-cat froze as a silver she-cat padded up to her. "What are you doing?"

"I-I," she looked at her mentor and fell silent. "Nothing."

"That's what I thought," the silver cat meowed. "Hurry up and evacuate the nursery!" Obeying the senior warrior, the she-cat turned and raced across the snowy clearing. The small cave that sheltered the queens and kits was only a few fox-lengths away when a Blacklight warrior jumped in front of her, barring the entrance. Smokepaw hissed at the tom.

"Get out of the way!" she yowled, unsheathing her claws. "Move!"

"Ha!" the warrior purred. "Does the little apprentice think she can take me down?" Without hesitating, Smokepaw flung herself on the warrior. The Blacklight cat yowled as Smokepaw raked her claws down his back.

"Does this make you think twice before you attack our camp?" Smokepaw meowed as she bit down on his shoulder. The warrior hissed and fled from the apprentice, his fur bristling.

"It's all according to Tigerstar's plan," the tom mewed as he ran. "You Starlight cats don't understand what power lies within our midsts." Still tense from the battle, Smokepaw dashed up to the nursery. Inside, Blossomheart and Dawnfeather stared wide-eyed at the apprentice.

"H-How did you fight him off?" Dawnfeather asked in awe. Smokepaw bowed her head.

"Moons and moons of training," she mumbled. "Are your kits alright, Blossomheart?" The brown she-cat nudged the four frightened kits that were mewling with worry.

"They're all fine."

"Good," Smokepaw meowed. "We need to evacuate the camp. Silverwind should be here any minute to help carry the kits." Smokepaw took a ginger kit in her mouth, and signaled for Blossomheart to do the same. As soon as the brown she-cat had taken one of her kits, Crowfeather and Foxheart raced into the nursery.

"We need to go, now," Foxheart mewed. "It's too dangerous to stay here any longer." He and Crowfeather each took a kit in their mouths and began to exit the nursery.

"Hurry, Dawnfeather," Smokepaw mewed, her voice muffled by the kit's fur. The plump queen got up and followed Smokepaw out of the nursery. Outside was a mass battle, Starlight and Blacklight fighting each other with intensity like no other. The five cats ran to the nearest exit, their pawsteps making no sound upon the ground.

"Oh, no!" Dawnfeather mewed as they exited the camp. She stared wide-eyed at Millie, who had her nose pressed against Greystripe's pelt.

"He was wounded in the battle," the grey she-cat explained. "I don't know if he'll be able to make it." Smokepaw's eyes widened in terror, her mind racing. When will this war ever end?
