This is my fanfic for what I think will happen later in the series! Just a reminder, the next OOTS titles are 3) Night Whispers. 4) Sign of the Moon, and so far, 5) The Forgotten Warrior. Those have influenced my predictions, and I got good ones! So read along, enjoy, review, etc. And, the title is after the song by Flyleaf, In the Dark. No, I do not own them or Warriors! If I did, then this is what WOULD happen in the series, and I wouldn't be that dumb to post it on Fanfiction!

"This is completely outrageous!"

The fur had fluffed up on the neck of a gray she-cat, whose raspy voice had spoken. "Bluestar, are you out of your mind? You will be the end of your Clan!" She hissed at a blue-gray she-cat, who looked exhausted.

She just frowned. "Yellowfang, I know it may not seem logical. And yet we cannot meddle, in fear of any harm done worse than planned. But what if, after all these moons, we had to come back down from our stars and rejoin the Clans? We must play fair, even when the Dark Forest is not."

Yellowfang just hissed some more. "Bluestar, what good will that do? That will teach the Dark Forest nothing, and they will continue to twist the minds of our innocent warriors who live today. We must help them! Don't you care about what happens? Don't you care about the Clans you died protecting?"

"I have already made up my mind, Yellowfang. Some of the more older StarClan warriors stand by my decision, when others don't. But most of us believe that this is for the good of all the Clans." She stood high, trying to seem proud.

But the old she-cat just shook her head. "You're wrong. If you keep doing this-"

But a rustle in the reeds nearby them stopped her. A small cat came out, eyes blazing in anger. "Stop it, both of you! How are we supposed to help the Clans when StarClan itself cannot cooperate?"

Both she-cats bowed their heads. "It is an honor, Owlstar." Bluestar murmured. Yellowfang just grumbled.

Owlstar strode forward, with his large, unblinking, amber eyes. "These decisions cannot be made by only a pawful of cats. There must be one chosen decision, so that StarClan can communicate without further issues and comply without rebellion. We must become one in order to help our Clans, our friends, our family."

Yellowfang blinked. "You speak with the wisdom of the night owl, Owlstar. But yet, how can we perform such a large decision? The ranks of StarClan swell with many moons of cats. You of all cats have watched them go. Only the memory keeps you alive." She whispered her last words, and Owlstar lowered his head.

"Yes, only the memory keeps me here. Many of my Clanmates have faded already, and I fear the worst may come soon. But yet, none of us will go down without a fight." His voice was quiet, remembering his Clanmate who had faded. Even then, his own dark gray pelt was slightly transparent.

Yellowfang broke Owlstar's nostalgic thoughts. "The prophecy has revealed itself to the Three, but the future is still clouded. Ivypaw has done things none of us could have foreseen. She has forsaken her own Clan without knowing it, when her own sister is destined to save them. What will we do?"

Owlstar sighed. "She has sparked envy since her sister is receiving the attention of her Clan. She finds reconcile in the Dark Forest, while seldom does she know the true hidden intention of her trainer, Hawkfrost, and his father. She is growing strong. Her caused battle proved fatal." The wise tom spoke of the battle she had caused without knowing it, which was only a couple sunrises ago.

Bluestar stood up, eyes shining. "Then what do you suggest we do, Owlstar? Tell Ivypaw she's wrong? She must learn one moon or another."

Owlstar nodded. "I understand, Bluestar. And she will learn soon. After all, this whole battle has really sparked by all secrets kept all these moons. In the end, all the secrets the Clans have ever had must be revealed." He looked at the two she-cats, eyes hinting something.

They both stepped back. "You can't possibly mean it, Owlstar." Yellowfang said, her voice almost shaking.

But he started to turn away. "In order for peace, all must be redeemed. From recent to long lost, all secrets should be known to them, even if they remain uncaring. They cannot live in the dark, hidden from knowing all. And the cats must learn that in order to become a true warrior, you should follow all laws. I am not picking on you two, but that was how it was originally meant." And with a flourish of his tail, he disappeared into the reeds.

Bluestar sighed. "You know, he is right. As much as I don't wish for it to happen, it has to in order for peace."

But Yellowfang clawed at the grass underpaw. "Bluestar, you know this means the revelations of even prophecies, of the true nature of the Dark Forest, of all sins against the warrior Code? We all must come clean soon."

Bluestar just sighed once more, eyes drooping. "Nothing has gone the way I wish it had, Yellowfang. I don't know what to think anymore."

Yellowfang spun around to face the leader. "So you weren't thinking when you said for StarClan to close off communication from the Clans?"

Bluestar stood up. "I'm sure this is the right thing!" She spat.

But Yellowfang wasn't daunted. "Are you really sure? Look what happened last time: we watched Russetfur die and swell our ranks knowing about Ivypaw's plot! And; Hollyleaf may still be alive! For all we know, she could still be part of the prophecy! We could've avoiding having these two apprentices in it, and causing Ivypaw to join the Dark Forest! Lives could've been saved, Bluestar!" She bared her teeth at the she-cat, who looked miserable.

"Then what do you propose, Yellowfang?" She murmured, lost.

Yellowfang turned and padded away, saying, "I don't know, Bluestar. But I will do all I can to help others survive. It was my own Clan too."

And Bluestar was left near the pool, the rushing waterfall echoing in her mind. All of StarClan were torn.

Did you enjoy it? This does take place after Fading Echoes, for those who didn't know. I like leaving it on a depressing ending. So, review, please? Thank you!
