Prologue
Autumnsapphire gazed at her reflection in the moonpool. It was frozen solid, and she could feel her heart swell with joy.
"It's been done," she meowed, hoping that her father, Darktail, could hear her.
"Good," her mother, Mapleshade whispered in her ear.
Both of her parents were ded, and in the Dark Forest, but they still came to Autumnsapphire in her dreams, and she could even hear them in her waking life, like she was now.
She let out a sigh, and stared at her reflection in the mirror. She was a beautiful cat, a huge she-cat, with the pelt the color of autumn leaves, her fur was thick long and glossy, and she had dark blue eyes, the color of sapphires, just like her father Ashfur.
"Are you quite done?" her brother, Butternut asked.
Butternut was not like her at all, he was a runt, and he was yellow just like their mother, Sleekwhisker, and his eyes were the color of dirt.
"I'll be done when I'm done!" Autumnsapphire spat, gazing lovingly at her reflection in the moonpool.
She would take over these clans, she would get vengance for her father Scourge, and everyone else whose lives had been ripped away at the claws of those clans!
She turned to her brother, and growled in a super cereal voice.
"Let's do this."
Chapter One
Autumsapphire threw another piece of prey onto the fresh-kill pile, a rabbit this time, the eighth one she caught. She had also caught, seventeen voles, sixty-eight blackbirds, and thirty-five shrews.
"How are you catching so many?" Butternut wheezed, he hadn't caught anything, but he was already huffing and puffing, whereas, Autumnsapphire didn't even feel out of breath.
"I can talk to animals," Autumnsapphire meowed. She was very smooth with her words, just like her father, Sol, she could talk pretty much anything into doing whatever she wanted.
"Oh, hey Jayfeather," she meowed, when she could hear her mate padding up closer to her.
"Hey," he purred, nuzzling her neck, he then turned to Butternut.
"Get lost!" he spat.
Autumnsapphire let out a mrrow, when her brother ran away wailing.
"Wow, this is an amazing catch!" Jayfeather purred, staring down at the fresh-kil pile. He was blind when he met Autumnsapphire, but he wasn't anymore, because she had cured him.
"Guess what?" Autumnsapphire meowed, once they had finished eating.
"What?" Jayfeather asked.
"I'm expecting kits!"
"Yippie!" Jayfeather cried, jumping about ten fox-lengths in the air.
"Lol, if you jump like that again, cats just might think you're in SkyClan," Autumnsapphire mrrowed.
"I'm surprised cats don't think you're in SkyClan, you can jump higher than the Sky Oak! But you might also be in RiverClan, you can swim through even the strongest currents, and during flood season at that!"
Autumnsapphire's pelt warmed at all the praise she was getting.
"And not only that, but you can beat Lionblaze, Bramblestar, and Tigerstar all in a fight!"
"Yes, and when I trained in The Dark Forest, I beat all of the cats there," Autumnsapphire meowed. She wasn't bragging, she was just stating facts.
"Yes, and you can run faster than any cat to ever live, and no cat can sneak as well as you can."
"Maybe I should become the leader of all five clans," Autumnsapphire mrrowed, only half joking.
"Jayfeather! I need help I have a thorn in my paw!" Birchfall wailed.
"Get lost Birchfail! Can't you see we're busy?" Autumnsapphire spat.
"Yeah! Go to Alderheart, he's a medicine cat too," Jayfeather grumbled.
"Yeah, go to Alderfart," Autumnsapphire echoed.
Birchfall ran away wailing, and Autumnsapphire turned back to Jayfeather.
"Now, where were we?"
"I was just talking about how amazing you are," Jayfeather continued. He then let out a hiss of irritation, when Graystripe raced into the medicine cat's den.
"Jayfeather! Jayfeather! I need you to oversee mine and Brackenfur's mate-ship!"
"Wait, you and Brackenfur are becoming mates?" he gasped.
The big gay tom nodded.
"Yeah, since I'm still alive, and Brackenfur is still alive, and our mates have been dead forever now, we've decided to become mates with each other, until we die, so we're not lonely anymore."
"Alright," Jayfeather sighed. He started getting up, when Autumnsapphire pounced on him, crushing his scrawny body under her own large one.
"Noo!" she wailed, "Don't leave me! I should be the only cat that matters in your life, let Alderfart oversee their mate-ship!"
"I'm sorry Autumnsapphire, but as the oldest medicine cat of ThunderClan, it's my duty to oversee the mate-ships of other cats," Jayfeather meowed.
"Oh forget this!" Autumnsapphire spat, "You're just a half-clan anyway! I'm going to go join WindClan and become mates with Crowfeather!"
She then ran away wailing, knowing that Jayfeather would chase after her, but when he did, she would just ignore him, hah! That would teach him!
