Chapter 1
Jayfeather woke up to feel newly renamed Halfmoon sleeping quietly next to him. He knew why she had asked to sleep in the medicine cats' den but he wanted her to be a warrior. He got up quietly not to wake her up, he couldn't believe it, Halfmoon his Half Moon was back. It that been two moons since the great battle and most of the Clan was repaired. She was alive given a second live as he had been given, Fallen Leaves also was alive as well as Hollyleaf and…. Oh my Hawkfrost. "Why?" he whispered. Last night Bramblestar had renamed Halfmoon and Fallenleaves as well as saying that his brother would be part of ThunderClan
"Hello there!" Halfmoon spoke as she approached him "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, well it's just I don't understand why Hawkfrost was given a second chance he was in the Dark Forest after all"
"So what? Bramblestar went there so did your brother Lionblaze and if Spottedleaf hadn't come for you… Wouldn't you have given it a chance? Hawkfrost wanted to make his father proud that's all."
"But still they didn't stay there and I would of never fought with the Dark Forest"
"Yes, Jay's Wing but he was dead he couldn't just go to StarClan it wasn't possible but when Thistleclaw attacked Ivypool what did he do?"
Jayfeather wondered, "He did save her…"
"He realized what was the right thing to do" Halfmoon whispered.
There was noise coming from the warriors den and Hollyleaf came out followed by Fallenleaves, his old friend that couldn't get out of those tunnels was finally free.
"Hey Jayfeather I think Hollyleaf will be joining Cinderheart soon" Fallenleaves said happily.
Hollyleaf came forwards "Not now it's to soon! I have just told you last night…"
"Oh my!" Halfmoon exclaimed, "that's going to make lot's of kits for the Clan"
"I'll be fine with both of you to take care of me as well as Leafpool" Hollyleaf looked at Halfmoon. "Lets go for a walk Halfmoon"
"Sure" Halfmoon said walking away "and I think there is going to be even more kits soon"
Jayfeather wondered whom they were talking about until he realized with shock that they would be staring at the warriors' den where Ivypool and Hawkfrost were coming out followed by Dovewing to go see Squirrelflight that was doing the patrols and hunting groups.
"What's wrong Jayfeather?" Fallenleaves had startled him, Jayfeather had completely forgotten that he was there.
"Oh, nothing I just realized who Halfmoon and Hollyleaf were talking about" he whispered. "I'll have to get used to having him around. Won't I"
"Oh, don't worry Ivypool will make sure he stays right" Fallenleaves answered happily. "Come on lets go see how Cinderheart is doing"
Cinderheart would be giving birth a bit after Hollyleaf joined the nursery, he realized. Stop it, you're worrying yourself for nothing! Jayfeather told himself. At that exact moment he heard a squeak coming from the nursery. The brambles moved and Lionblaze ran out screaming, "She's having them! Jayfeather! Come quick! Fast! Jayfeather do something already!"
Jayfeather ran towards the nursery and told Fallenleaves to calm Lionblaze down since he was running in a circle mumbling, "Oh my, oh my, it's happening it's time! Oh my! Oh my!"
Cinderheart was in her ness breathing hard "Jayfeather!" she whispered, "It hurts"
"Don't worry everything is going to be fine" Daisy replied.
He started feeling her stomach. All was going very well. "Start pushing…. Now!" A small wet bundle fell out and Daisy took it up and started liking. Then another one came out. Jayfeather took the golden kit and placed him in front of Cinderheart for her to clean. He felt her stomach once more. "There's one more"
"You're almost done" Daisy put it between two licks
A black kit came out but was unnaturally still. "What's wrong!" Cinderheart put in. Jayfeather didn't answer but started licking the kit vigorously.
"Jayfeather! What are you doing your licking to hard" Daisy put in shocked.
Without looking up Jayfeather snapped "Who's the medicine cat?" Finally the kit started moving. Jayfeather placed the she-kit next to her mother, while Daisy did the same. Jayfeather felt the shocked glare that Daisy was giving him but said loudly "Lionblaze! You can come in." The footsteps outside stopped and Lionblaze exploded into the nursery.
"Congratulation, brother, one she-kit and two toms" Jayfeather told his brother.
"Jayfeather they're so pretty! That one looks just like Hollyleaf!" Lionblaze exclaimed.
"Lets call her Hollykit" Cinderheart put in.
"I'm sure Hollyleaf will be very happy about that name" answered Fallenleaves, poking his head in the nursery.
"What about Sorrelkit for the golden tom?" Lionblaze asked his mate.
"Yes, and Fernkit for the gray-and-ginger one" Cinderheart put in.
"Those are wonderful names and kits" Daisy said excitedly, "They'll make fine warriors"
"I'm sure of that!" Fallenleaves put in.
Jayfeather decided to leave the couple alone "come on Fallenleaves, Cinderheart needs some quiet."
Halfway out of the nursery Jayfeather tuned to Cinderheart "Oh and Cinderheart I'll be back with borage leaves for you and send Daisy to get me if you need something for the kits especially that little Hollykit."
"Sure, Jayfeather!" she answered.
"But for now you need some rest" Jayfeather added from the clearing. That makes one less thing to worry about. Jayfeather couldn't get Hawkfrost out of his head and how he had tried to kill Firestar.
Half a moon later…
"Jayfeather! Beware a cat that comes back from beyond the dead, revenge from that cat will brings destruction to water and thunder!" whispered a strange creepy voice. "Beware, Jayfeather, beware!" Jayfeather tried to run away but he was frozen to his spot. The voice was getting louder but it was still whispering. "Beware Jayfeather beware!" Is it getting closer to me I have to get out thought Jayfeather panicked
Jayfeather jumped up from his nest shaking and panting.
"Jayfeather what's wrong with you, are we under attack?" Leafpool's worried mew came.
"N…n… no, um everything's fine. I.. just I, have to see. Um… I'll be back" Jayfeather ran out of the medicine cat's den and bashed into Berrynose, who was going on the dawn patrol with Birchfall, Spiderleg and Whitewing.
"Watch out! Jayfeather what is wrong with you?" replied Berrynose.
"I'm the blind one! So you're the one that's suppose to watch out," Jayfeather snapped back.
Berrynose flinched and backed away mumbling. Jayfeather had a hard time figuring out what he was saying. But he thought he heard him say, "He's such a annoying grumpy cat."
"Come on Berrynose," said Birchfall "We have a WindClan border to patrol"
Jayfeather ran out of camp hearing Leafpool yelling behind him "Jayfeather! Comeback, what's wrong. Jayfeather talk to me!"
Jayfeather didn't stop running until he was almost at the lake. Then he realized that Halfmoon and Fallenleaves were they're watching him.
"Jay's Wing! What's wrong, you look terrified!" Halfmoon told him gently.
"I, um I have to talk to um, I had a dream… well it sounded more like a prophecy… I couldn't get away, oh Halfmoon!" Jayfeather whispered.
"Should I leave you alone?" Fallenleaves asked.
"No I think…" Jayfeather only managed to say.
"I think it's best that you stay, until we figure out what it means" Halfmoon decided. "Tell us Jayfeather what was this prophecy?"
"A voice said 'Jayfeather! Beware a cat that comes back from beyond the dead, revenge from that cat will brings destruction to water and thunder!' and then kept on repeating 'Beware, Jayfeather, beware'"
"A cat that comes back from beyond the dead? How can you come back from beyond the dead?" Fallenleaves wondered "The three of us came back from the dead so did Lionblaze, Hollyleaf and Hawkfrost… but from beyond the dead…"
"Hawkfrost… that cat will only bring trouble!" Jayfeather spat out.
"No Jay's Wing, he came back from the dead not from beyond the dead" Halfmoon corrected.
"Yes but all of us part from him came back from StarClan or from the Tribe of Endless Hunting. Not from the Place of No Stars" Jayfeather meowed.
"I agree with Halfmoon, the Dark Forest is not beyond the dead Jayfeather" Fallenleaves added. "Halfmoon? May I ask you something?"
"Yes"
"Why do you keep on calling Jayfeather, Jay's Wing?" He ventured.
"What does that have anything to do with the prophecy" snapped Jayfeather.
"Jay's Wing! Calm down!" Halfmoon replied. "He was just wondering!" She turned to Fallenleaves. "I've just got used to calling him like that, that was his name before as you know."
"Oh, I see" Fallenleaves meowed. "Maybe we should focus on the other part of the prophecy for now, since the cat from the dead may not be here yet. So by knowing what they want revenge on may be a good start."
"I guess" Jayfeather mumbled.
"Revenge from that cat will bring destruction to water and thunder, is that it Jay's… I mean Jayfeather" Halfmoon asked.
"Yes that is" he replied.
There was movement in the bushes, "What's going on down there?" Bramblestar's voice asked. Followed my Leafpool "I'm sorry Jayfeather but you seemed to have a problem. I… um had to do something"
"Jayfeather! What will bring destruction?" Bramblestar asked.
"I don't know" Jayfeather answered.
"Halfmoon? Fallenleaves? What's this all about?" Bramblestar insisted.
"Jay's Wing um I mean Jayfeather had a prophecy during the night" Halfmoon replied. "And we were trying to figure out what it means."
"I see and what …" Bramblestar started before Leafpool interrupted "And you decided to talk about it with you friends instead of your leader or me!"
"Leafpool, what's done is done, now tell us about this prophecy Jayfeather" Their leader demanded.
Jayfeather answered "Beware a cat that comes back from beyond the dead, revenge from that cat will brings destruction to water and thunder!"
"Oh my," exclaimed Leafpool, "what are we going to do?"
That's why I didn't want to tell you Leafpool, I knew you would act that way thought Jayfeather. But she is right, what are we going to do? "I guess we'll have to wait and see and try to figure out what that prophecy means before it's to late" Jayfeather got himself to speak out loud. "But for now I'm going back to camp." Jayfeather decided. He started to head for camp but Halfmoon stopped him "follow me, my love," she whispered. They walked for a while until they arrived to a place Jayfeather never knew existed, a place where the grass under Jayfeather's paws was so soft and comfortable.
"Come Jay's Wing lie next to me" Halfmoon mewed "Relax don't worry about that prophecy for now. She jumped on Jayfeather and they rolled over playfully.
