Rapidwave watched sadly as Shadowflame entwined tails with Oakpelt.
He sighed. Shadowflame is a beautiful she-cat, and he has loved her since they were apprentices. But Oakpelt admitted his love first.
His eyes filled with rage. Even his sister, Fawntail, found love! She found Darkfur, a grumpy brown tom with dark blue eyes.
He growled to himself and stormed to the apprentice den, looking for his apprentice, Gingerpaw.
"Gingerpaw! We are on a border patrol!" He called out. A ginger head poked up. "Okay, Rapidwave!" She mewed and bounded out, smiling.
He smiled and walked to the camp entrance. "You coming?" She nodded. "Yeah!" They padded out.
They slowly walked to the border, and then padded along it. Finally they made it to the Sorrelclan border.
"Okay, Gingerpaw. Do you smell any Sorrelclan cats?" He asked the small apprentice.
"Uh..." she paused to sniff the air. "Yeah, but it's stale. They just marked their territory," she informed.
Rapidwave nodded, but heard a noise. Suddenly a flurry of tortoiseshell pelt flung out of the plants, sorrel plants to be exact.
"You're on Sorrelclan territory!" The she-cat spat. With quick realization Rapidwave saw it was Spongestar, leader of Sorrelclan.
Rapidwave looked around. "We are?" He looked back to see he crossed the border, his apprentice behind him. "Oh... I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention," he apoligized, but Spongestar's eyes still blazed with fury.
A pretty white she-cat padded up behind her. "Spongestar! Don't run off like that! What if their was an ambush! What if..." Her voice trailed off as she saw the Creekclan warrior and apprentice.
A growl erupted from Gingerpaw's throat. "You challenge us? Creekclan is stronger than Starclan!" Spongestar and her deputy, Swiftfall, exchanged amused looks.
"Just, get off of our territory." Swiftfall growled. Rapidwave nodded and padded the other way, only to realize Gingerpaw was still standing there. "Gingerpaw!" He hissed.
She turned around, bewildered. "Amber eyes will blaze with fury, jealousy, and an unproved theory." She whispered, her eyes wide with fear.
Spongestar laughed. "Your apprentice is making up prophecies!" She exclaimed. Swiftfall sighed. "I hear Foxtail looking for us. We should go," And with a nod of Spongestar, they vanished in the shrubs.
Rapidwave growled at Gingerpaw. "You just made a fool of me, and yourself!"
Gingerpaw shuddered. "They spoke to me," she choked out.
"What?" He hissed.
"Starclan... T-told me... A prophecy..." She stuttered. Rapidwave gave her a cold stare.
"You are seeing Froststream," he growled and lead her back to Creekclan camp.

"She's not ill," The medicine cat, Froststream, remarked. She sighed and looked at Gingerpaw. "Do you have a headache? Or are you simply doing this for attention?" She mewed softly.
Gingerpaw gave out an impatient hiss. "I told you, Starclan spoke to me! They told me 'Amber eyes will blaze with fury, jealousy, and an unproved theory!'"
Froststream took a thoughtful moment before responding with only, "That's strange," to herself.
Rapidwave paced outside. He heard the whole conversation. Had Gingerpaw really heard from Starclan? It's strange, because her sister is the medicine cat apprentice, named Fallingpaw, for her pelt looking like Leaf-fall leaves.
A small ginger she-cat emerged from the medicine cat den. He spun around, thinking it was Gingerpaw, but quickly saw it was Fallingpaw.
"Hey, Falingpaw," He greeted. Fallingpaw sat down.
"Froststream truly believes." After seeing Rapidwave's confused glance, she tried to explain. "She believes Gingerpaw is insane,"
Rapidwave looked bewildered. "What? She's not insane, she was fine until today!" He argued.
Fallingpaw's eyes darkened. "I know. Starclan must have sent her a message, because she didn't know of the other prophecy," she growled.
"Other prophecy?" He asked. The flame-colored cat glanced up at him. "You do not need to know! The information should only be known to the medicine cats and leaders!" She snapped.
