Chapter 1

The Journey Begins

Leopardstar pov:

I was tired but restless in my den; I couldn't sleep so I wanted to have some company. I decided that the best way to get somebody to sleep with me is to get on the highrock and get everybody's attention. I clumsily climbed onto the highrock and sleepily called out; "ALL CATS OLD ENOUGH TO SWIM IN THE RIVER GATHER HERE BENEATH THE HIGHROCK FOR A CLAN MEETING." As my clan gathered I was thinking about what to say. "I am tired and can't sleep so if you would like to sleep with me please go to my den" I didn't look back as my clan dissembled. I padded to my den and saw Mistyfoot waiting for me. She looked surprised; probably because of my astonished face. "Err… Mistyfoot, hi. I am glad that you came to keep my company." Mistyfoot's surprised faded into a warm smile as I went to my nest and invited her in. I was sleeping in an instant; 'snore'.

Mistyfoot pov:

I honestly couldn't sleep either so when Leopardstar asked if anybody would sleep with her I knew I should. I snuggled in the leader's nest and was asleep within seconds. 'Yawn' I woke up and had then realized that I was with Leopardstar in her nest. I waited for her to wake up before I got out of the nest. It seemed like forever until Leopardstar woke up. When she finally did dawn light was shining in through the lichen hanging on the den entrance. "Good morning Mistyfoot, Have you sent out the patrols for today yet?" I had totally forgotten about patrols and being deputy. "Umm, not yet, I'll get to them right away." Before I could go anywhere Leopardstar jumped up shrieking; "WHAT, YOU USLESS BALL OF FLUFF! I THOUGHT I MADE A GOOD CHOICE FOR DEPUTY FOR ONCE! BUT NO, YOU ARE LIKE THE REST OF THEM; ALWAYS FORGETTING THE PATROLS! YOU ARE THE BEST DEPUTY SO FAR, AND WHEN YOU DIE I WILL LOVE THAT DAY! LOVE IT!" I was taken aback. I rushed out of the den to only find myself facing up to a mob of Warriors. I went to my place under the highrock and started ordering out the patrols. I quickly finished and went back to Leopardstar in her den to tell her all is ok. "Leopardstar, may I come in?" "Yes Mistyfoot, I must speak to you." I walked in nervously and saw Leopardstar sitting with her tail wrapped around her paws. Leopardstar spoke first; "Mistyfoot, we are going on a long journey together to the lost Skyclan."

Leopardstar pov:

I could tell that Mistyfoot was stunned at my decision. But all she did was shrug and ask "When are we going and can I gather herbs from Mudfur first?" I had no idea of what to say but I just blurted out; "We are going know and don't get herbs." And with that I was off, Mistyfoot had no choice but to follow. I rushed out of camp and avoided any questions about where we're going. I had no clue about where to go so I just followed the river. We were just entering Windclan territory when we heard a yowl from above us on the moors. I looked up and saw 4 outlines on the horizon facing us. As they ran down the hill I made out features, I saw; Onewhisker, Crowpaw, Deadfoot, and Tornear. Onewhisker padded up to us and growled; "why are you on Windclan territory?" I was mad at them for stopping us. "We are going to find the lost Skyclan."
