Hey everyone! I've finally decided to write a story set in the future as I've been meaning to for a while - more than a year now, I think. I've always had the plot in my head, but I never really put it down into words. Ah well. No time better than the present, right?
Disclaimer: I do not own Warriors by Erin Hunter or any of the cats mentioned in the series - therefore, no copyright infringement is intended. I'm not gonna post a disclaimer from hereon out because this disclaimer will stand for every chapter in this story...so in other words, I'm too lazy to put it :].
Anyhoo...all original stuff belongs to me. This includes the plot (as I'm fairly sure nobody has ever used it), and the characters I created (I will probably mention a character from the real series, like Firestar/Scourge. I don't own those cats - I own only the characters I have created). If I used a canon name you've used in a story published before mine and this upsets you, tell me and I'll change it.
This story is rated T for violence and minor suggestive themes. Enjoy!
Summary:
The prophecy has been made. Six cats have been chosen by StarClan to defend the Clans from an old enemy: BloodClan. Stronger and more dangerous than ever, BloodClan's new leader—a descendant of Scourge named Ice—has vowed to avenge his ancestors and combine the Clans into one. With him as the leader, of course. And Ice has learned from his predecessors' mistakes: BloodClan now has a medicine cat, and their elders are well-looked after. Unbeknownst to the other Clans, BloodClan has been staying in the mountains for a long time, training and molding Clan techniques with that of the Tribe of Rushing Water's, whom eventually escape into the forest to tell the Clans about Ice's plans.
But this time, even with the Tribe's help, all four Clans joined together might not be enough to defeat BloodClan—the hopes have been pinned upon the six chosen ones, who must travel to the mountains to stop BloodClan in its tracks before it gets any stronger. But what if one of these cats refuses to go? Can the five remaining cats manage to defeat BloodClan before it's too late—or has the time of the four Clans finally come to an end?
And as if that wasn't enough. Before it's all over, three cats will send every forest cat's views spinning.
One cat—a cat they've always admired…will prove to be a coward.
One cat—a cat they've always thought loyal…will prove to be a traitorous snake.
One cat—a cat they've always overlooked…will prove to be the most dangerous of all.

Hurrah. Allegiances are done. Any comments on the names? Tell me, please. If you don't like a name, still tell me so I can fix it. Constructive flaming is allowed in this story - well, all of my stories, really -because I know that constructive flaming is the best way to improve one's writing. Yes, the plot may sound a bit cheesy and...similar to the series, but trust me: it gets better. I hope.
Try and guess which of the six cats are part of the prophecy. And see if you can get the cat who refuses to go. You'll never guess who! Well...you might, but you probably won't. Heheh :D. You'll understand my amusement later.
Again - R&R please!
