Just a little something to start off... To let you know, these chapters are really short, unlike the actual book chapters, and they may sound stupid. But, it's good enough. There is romance in this, and if you want to read the couples mating, if you dare, just put it in reviews. Thanks, and I hope you enjoy this! =^.^=

AzureClan
Prophecy of the stars: Dawn
Prologue
At the darkest hour of midnight, cats begun to appear form the bushes, shrubs, and even logs. but only four. Four? But it looked as if there was a thousand! But only four. A dark tom, black with green eyes, stared at the other cats. "Huh, I thought DarkClan was a nuicanse." He muttered. A light grey she-cat, stared at him with round, angry eyes. "And they still are." She growled. "Calm down, Azurestar." A ginger tom with amber eyes soothed. "We must find a way to warn the clans of this threat." He continued. Azurestar looked at him. "I agree, Flamestar, but I don't think Nightstar agrees." She hissed. "Shut up!" Nightstar hissed. "Shut up both of you!" Another cat, a cream tabby, growled. "Thank you, Wolfstar." Flamestar dipped his head. All the leaders stared at Flamestar. "Azurestar, your clan is in great danger, warn Spottedstar." Flamestar mewed. "No, I can't." She sighed. "Spottedstar is far from my reach." All the cats gasped as Azurestar said so. "What? How is that even possible?"
"You're a StarClan cat!"
"But-"
"Stop!" Azurestar hissed. "I cannot talk to Spottedstar, but I can talk to another cat." Flamestar nodded. "One of the five?" He asked. "Yes." She replied. "Is it Callingdove?" Nightstar asked. "No, the third of the five." Azurestar smirked. "Do what you need to do." Wolfstar mewed. So then the cats set off, leaving Azurestar standing, alone in the cold, night air. "But who is the third?" She sighed. Maybe I'll send a vision to Callingdove... She thought. That was the only option.
Chapter 1
Callingdove set her herbs with her new apprentice, Firepaw. Firepaw stared at the herbs, as if memorizing each and every herb he set his paws apon. Callingdove sighed as she did the same. She was on of the five, and so was her brother, Neonclaws. Her back legs felt nothing, it was because of her tragic accident as a kit, where that large branch fell on her. She dragged herself to the rock shelves where she kept most her herbs, until she saw nothing but sky. And there was a cloud, now.. The cloud turned into many clouds, and the sky was filled with clouds. "Callingdove? Where should I put the marigold?" Firepaw broke into her vision. "Um.. Just.. Put them in a pile over there." Callingdove replied. Firepaw did as told. "Callingdove! Callingdove, Birdflight has a cold!" Cloudysky, a recently made warrior, burst into her den. "Coming." Callingdove limped past Cloudysky, and into the elder's den. But Birdflight was laying on her head, coughing, so much. "You call this a cold?" Callingdove screamed at Cloudysky. She ran to her den, ignoring the pain in her legs. She grabbed as much catmint as possible, and raced back into Birdflight's den. But it was too late. Blood stained the ground, and Birdflight lay still. "No.." Cloudysky whispered. "This is all my fault.. I-I should have called you as soon as Birdflight even started coughing!" She yowled. "No." Callingdove reassured her. "Show me the last prey Birdflight ate." She mewed. "Okay." Cloudysky sighed, and carefully dragged a half-eaten rabbit towards Callingdove. Callingdove drew her head back by the awful stench, and forced herself to sniff it. "Poison berries." She hissed. "Someone poisoned Birdflight." She sighed as she heard gasps from all around her. "Who could have done it?" Cloudysky asked. Callingdove sighed. "I-I sort of smelled something terrible on it. It was-" She stopped herself form saying 'the dark forest'. "What was it?" Cloudysky asked.
"Nevermind." What if the dark forest planned to take her whole clan? They needed a third, in fact, they needed all five, but they could be anyone. She walked up to Lightspeed, telling her brother everything. "What?" He mewed. "Yes, and finally, I had a vision..." She told about her vision, clouds, sky and every thing. "I know who it is." Lightspeed whispered. "Who?" Callingdive asked. He shook his head, and padded into the den, where Cloudysky was.
Chapter 2
Cloudysky yawned, she was tired of a whole day of burying Birdflight exausted her. "Hey, Cloudysky." Lightspeed, another tom, well, her 'crush', yawned. "Hey, Lightspeed..." She mewed. To her suprise, Lightspeed curled up beside her, but a little farther away from her though. "Cloudysky, I know.. I know you are freaked out, but, erm, I wanted to ask if you can come with me on a patrol tomorrow..." He whispered. "Sure, I mean, that's fine. Who else is coming?" She asked. "No, erm, it's just me and you.. I asked Spottedstar, he said it was fine.." Cloudysky wanted to hit her head, of course! Lightspeed was the clan deputy! "Yeah I'll come!" Cloudysky meowed exitedly. "Um, I mean, yeah, sure I'll come with you." She quickly mewed. "Thanks." Cloudysky turned around. He seemed troubled, was it that Birdfligt was dead? After all, he was her grand-son. Alarm hit her when Lightspeed moved in closer, he was shaking, probably a nightmare. She sighed, she pushed in closer, until their fur together looked silver. He groaned in realief, as if the moment they touched, his nightmares left. Cloudysky closed her eyes, and drifted off to sleep.
Sunrays fell on Cloudysky, and she felt a movement beside her. Lightspeed. She thought. She shook, and he groaned and yawned, giving her the sign that he was waking up. "How about that patrol?" She mewed. He goaned in reply. He stood up, then shook his fur. Cloudysky did the same, the walked side-by-side towards the entrance, and he looked at her with serious eyes. "Follow me." He growled. Cloudysky nodded, and followed. He led her to a hollow with a abandoned two-leg nest. "Why here?" She asked. "Just- come on." Lightspeed sighed, and led her inside th two-leg nest. "Lightspeed.." She shuddered. "Cloudysky." He mewed. "I wanted to tell you something, but I don't think Callingdove would like it." He gulped. "I love you. You should know that." Cloudysky nodded. No. No she didn't know that. But she kept on listening. "I am the second," She felt confused when Lightspeed said so. She tilted her head. "What?" She whispered. "I'm the second cat of a prophecy. Callingdove is the first. We- I- believe you are the third." Lightspeed explained. "So... You- we have powers?" She asked stupidly. "Yes, I- can never lose in battle, but come back wih some wounds, and Callingdove can hear and smell from far away. We believe your power is... Well... Reading minds and looking into thoughts and memories." He shrugged. "That wasn't scary!" Cloudysky snapped. "What? I-I never said anything... Oh!" He laughed. "You just read my mind!" He licked her on the head, and padded out, leavong Cloudysky sitting there. I'm the third. She thought happily. I'm the third.
Chapter 3
Lightspeed padded into the warriors' den, and sighed, lying in his nest, beside Cloudysky... Cloudysky... He startled himself, when Cloudysky padded in the den. He moved closer to her, feeling once again scared. Suprisingly, she also moved in, as stupid as he felt, he wanted to say 'I love you.' "I love you too." Cloudysky mewed. He curled around her, giggling at te same time. "I never said anything." He whispered, and licked her around the ear.
By morning, Cloudysky was gone, Lightspeed paniced, until he looked outside the den, and found her sitting under the big rock. He quickly ran up it, nearly forgetting he was deputy. "Uh... Ferntail, Gorsepelt, Talonclaw and myself will be leading patrols today. Ferntail, you will take Treenight, Lucidfall and Grasspaw. Gorsepelt, take Leopardfoot, Iceleg, and Fallenleaf. Talonclaw, take.. Ashpelt, Emeraldeye and Eagleswoop, I'll take Cloudysky, Redpaw and Birdwhisker." As soon as he finished, he already saw groups of four. Cloudysky trotted towards him. "What patrol are we going on?" She asked. "Hunting patrol." He said quickly before she could read his mind. "Great." She mumbled. "Another hunting patrol." She smirked and lead towards him to whisper. "I bet I can read the prey's minds." He laughed softly, and padded out, pelts brushed. He knew he could hear gossiping cats behind him, but he didn't care. He only cared about Cloudysky, and nothing else mattered.
The partol came back with a mouse, a magpie, a rabbit and suprisingly, an adder Lightspeed caught. Cloudysky licked him on the cheek. "You're such a show-off." She joked. She padded inside the warriors' den, and Lightspeed decided to bring her a crow. He walked to the fresh-kill pile, and took a crow from th other patrol. He carried it to the warriors' den, and dropped it in front of where Cloudysky was grooming. Her touge stuck out, and her paw was still in the air. "Thank you." She mewed. "I'm famished." She put down her paw, and started to eat the crow, lying down on her belly. She looked up from her meal. "Come share with me." She invited. Lightspeed nodded and lay beside her, eating the crow with her, until their muzzles touched. They quckly jercked their muzzles apart, and coninued to eat. When it was finished, Lightspeed sat up. Cloudysky did the same and she wrapped her tail around her paws. "Lightspeed..." She began. "When you said you loved me... Did you mean it as friends?" She asked. "Yes, I did. But... I think I really do love you... More than friends..." He replied. Cloudysky leaped on him, and licked his fore head. "I love you too."
Chapter 4
Callingdove shuddered as she heard Cloudysky and Lightspeed. Yuck! Love was so disgusting, because everything was so soppy. She continued to sort her herbs with Firepaw, and everything shattered when Firepaw announced he was going to go to sleep. Callingdove was left in the den, so, she decided to... Eavesdrop on Cloudysky and Lightspeed. "...So... We.. Agree on something for once?" That was Cloudysky's voice. "Yes, I guess so." And that was Lightspeed. "So... What now?" Cloudysky asked. "Lets..." Lightspeed whispered into Cloudysky's ear, but it was too low for Callingdove to hear. "Aw come on!" She hissed. At that moment, she could hear them laughing as if a mouse just ran up to a cat to be killed. The next thing she knew, Cloudysky and Lightspeed screamed and scared her, almost to death, and then laughed again, they were close, and they meant to scare her. Of couse! She was too busy Eavsdropping to know! She growled, and cursed and everything. "Calm down, Callingdove!" Cloudysky laughed. "Yeah, we were only going for a joke." Lightspeed agreed, laughing. "Well, that was really dumb!" Callingdove sarcasticly laughed. She stopped. "Now, go away." She hissed. Cloudysky widened her eyes. "Lightspeed, let's go." She mewed. "Wh-?"
"Let's just go!" The padded out of camp, with loving looks in each other's eyes, smiling. Callingdove had seen this look in Eagleswoop and Emeraldeye's eyes before, just before Emeraldeye had kits... Oh, gross! I'm glad I don't have a lover! Callingdove thought, and she decided to eavesdrop on someone else... What about Emeraldeye's kits? Perfect. "Wavekit, that's not fair! You got to be leader last time!" Rainkit mewled. "Well, I make a better leader than you." Wavekit spat. Ugh, kit stuff. Yeah, what would she expect?
By morning, Lightspeed and Cloudysky returned, Lightspeed curled around Cloudysky, causing her to sigh. "I wonder what the kits would look like." She whispered, this time trying not to read his mind. "As wonderful as you." He replied, whispering and licked her ear. She fell asleep, after a long night of, uh... You know, and sharing tongues. "Lightspeed, Cloudysky! Get up." They both groaned as Gorsepelt growled for them to get up. "I would expect better from a deputy." He spat, referring to Lightspeed. "Calm down you lump." Lightspeed grumbled. "I'm coming." Cloudysky felt him getting up, and his tail running down her spine before leaving. Kits, She thought, We're having kits.
