It was darkness that surrounded her. It was darkness that greeted her opened eyes. She knew that she was dreaming; nothing else could explain the blackness that she stood in. It was all quiet like a storm waiting to break, as if the forest were at the verge of danger that was to break out amongst all of the clans. Horror filled her as it became apparent that she was alone; completely alone. Slowly she lifted her paw and gentle placed it in front of her, half expecting to fall into the darkness. Suddenly a light lit up where her paw feel. Paw steps appeared in front of her, leading up and up into the dark sky above. She followed the path with her eyes and then spotted the stars, all twinkling and shining from above. She breathed a sigh of relief to know that StarClan was still with her, watching over her.

She slowly began to pick her away forward, following the glowing paw prints.They were narrow and followed a twisted path in the darkness, but easy enough to walk along. She was careful though, making sure to only place her paw on each print so not to fall into the darkness. Movement made her freeze however and slowly she turned, wondering who accompanied her. Three cats stood where she had stood before,their pelts sparkling majestically. One of them stepped forward as if to follow the starry paw prints that led to their warrior ancestors, but instead, the cat turned and looked into the darkness.

The other two cats turned and began to make their way forward into the forever blackness.The third cat followed, her pale pelt a dim light in the darkness. Silentpaw watched in horror as the cats began to fade. She turned and sprinted after them, away from the path of StarClan. Yowling,she came to a stop at the base of the path. She could not leave the path of StarClan, that much was clear, but she could not let these cats leave.Whether they ignored her or did not hear, Silentpaw was not sure, but none of them turned or looked back. Suddenly Silentpaw recognized who they were...

"Applestar!" she yowled. The pale she-cat stopped and turned to fast the apprentice.The leader's eyes were alight with excitement and fear. "No...you...you cant go. Stay...stay on the path to StarClan."Silentpaw begged. Applestar stared at her as if she did not understand what the medicine cat apprentice meant. Slowly, the leader dipped her head.

"No Silentpaw. It is time to find our own way and follow our own paths." Applestar turned away and followed the other two leaders into the darkness.

Silentpaw yowled as she woke up in her nest. Her fur was bristled with fear and her eyes wide with amazement. She shook her head and sat up, her paws trembling. She quickly began to groom herself trying to clam her racing heart. It was just a dream, only a dream; but Silentpaw knew better than that. It was a vision from StarClan, something that all medicine cats and medicine cat apprentices were blessed with. The ability to connected with StarClan and share their secrets, but what did this dream mean. Silentpaw stopped her grooming and settled back down into her moss nest, her eyes half closed with confusion.

The paw prints lead all of the way up to StarClan, that much was obvious and the darkness had meant...evil? Or was it misguidance, something that lead the cats away from following the path of StarClan. Applestar, the young leader of StarClan had been one of the cats walking away from StarClan, but who were the other two? Why did Applestar want to leave StarClan and the warrior code? She was very young, especially for a leader. She could be rash at times but never harsh, and she always asked questions and talked to the senior warriors, how could she stray bad enough to completely leave the path of StarClan and walk blindly into the darkness? Silentpaw shook her head. There were too many questions and not enough answers.She would just have to wait and see if StarClan was going to share anything else with her, anything that might help her figure this out.

"Silentpaw?" The apprentice leapt to her paws as her name was called, but she relaxed as the ThunderClan medicine cat, Brookstripe, stepped out of her den to the side. The medicine cat's dark brown fur was neatly groomed and her bright green eyes were filled with curiosity.

"Are you alright?" she asked padding up to Silentpaw. Silentpaw quickly nodded, her eyes still wide. Brookstripe studied the apprentice a moment longer and then turned away and padded towards the back of the den. She sniffed some of the herbs that were buried deep in crevices in the rock. "We will need to restock. It is still full-leaf and we should take advantage of the good weather," Brookstripe said gently probing a few of the herbs together. Silentpaw watched as her mentor began to chew up the herbs and mix them together.

Would Brookstripe know about the dream? Had she had the same one that Silentpaw had? Would the medicine know what the dream might mean...

"Silentpaw! Did you hear me?" Silentpaw jumped at Brookstripe's words and looked up at her mentor, her head slightly cocked to the side. Brookstripe had finished with the herbs and now stood in front of the apprentice, the pulp wrapped firmly in a small bundle. Brookstripe shook her head and sighed. "Honestly Silentpaw. You need to pay attention. I need you to take this to Diamondclaw.She was complaining about her stomach since yesterday and it's still not better."

Silentpaw nodded her head up and down though she barley heard what her mentor said. Brookstripe narrowed her eyes as she studied Silentpaw.

"Something is bothering you..." the medicine murmured, watching Silentpaw carefully. Silentpaw didn't move, her eyes staring at her mentor earnestly. Brookstripe shook her head. "I'll take Diamondclaw these herbs. Why don't you go and get some more poppy seeds? We are down to the last few since the attack of FireClan."

Silentpaw nodded and quickly darted out of the den away from her mentor's questioning gaze. The sun was already up, its rays warming the forest around them. Silentpaw stretched, briefly enjoying the warmth on her pelt.

"Hey Silentpaw!" Silentpaw turned to see her youngest brother, Smudgepaw racing up to her. She purred and batted at his ear playfully.

"Hey Smudgepaw!" she said licking his ear. "Has Mousetail not taken you out yet?" Smudgepaw shook his head.

"She went out on the dawn patrol. They should be back soon though," he said whipping a paw across his face. Silentpaw purred. Smudgepaw glanced around and then scooted closer to Silentpaw.

"Guess what!" he whispered not able to hide the excitement in his voice. Silentpaw cocked her head, listening closely. "I heard that Duskpaw was going to become a warrior soon!"

Silentpaw nodded. That was true; the dark tabby had been an apprentice when Hazelfur and Brightwing had been apprentices and they were both warriors now. Silentpaw knew that Duskpaw was anxious to get his warrior name and the clan needed him now especially if there was a threat from FireClan.

Smudgepaw perked up and glanced over at the entrance of the camp.

"Here they come!" he said leaping to his paws. "See ya Silentpaw."

Silentpaw watched as her brother raced towards the entrance of the camp just as the dawn patrol appeared. With a jolt, Silentpaw realized that Applestar was leading the patrol of cats. Silenpaw's sister, Cherrypaw followed right behind. Mousetail padded into the camp after the two she-cat with Duskpaw and his mentor,Dawnheart, following. Smudgepaw raced over to Mousetail who batted at him playfully. The two turned and padded out of camp.

Silentpaw watched Applestar walk up to her deputy and Silentpaw's mother, Creamfur. The cream she-cat dipped her head to the leader in respect and then listened to Applestar's report. Cherrypaw bounced around their paws, her eyes alight with excitement. Silentpaw flicked her tail to her sister and in a heart beat, Cherrypaw was by her side.

"What's going on?" Silentpaw asked. Cherrypaw looked as if she were about to burst as she spilled the news.

"We found prey bones all along the FireClan border! They smelled horrible...like a dead fox or something..." Cherrypaw screwed up her nose in disgust and then quickly continued. "Applestar said that FireClan is not following the warrior code and that they can't get away with this..."

Cherrypaw feel silent as Applestar leapt up on top of Highstump and yowled for silence. Silentpaw exchanged a look with Cherrypaw and together the two sisters padded towards the stump. The rest of the clan appeared from the surrounding dens blinking sleep from their eyes and stretching in the warming air.

"While out on patrol we found prey bones all along our territory. They all stank of FireClan!"

Furious yowls met Applestar's words. The white tabby Tigerfur hissed and lashed his tail while Mousetail narrowed her eyes trying to suppress her growing anger. Applestar waited until the anger voices had died down before continuing.

"Less than a moon ago FireClan attacked us and now they are stealing our prey. We can not allow them to get away with this!"she yowled. Many of the cats nodded while others yowled with her."I will bring this up at the Gathering tonight. We must be prepared for what Darkstar might say. I do not want trouble with FireClan but if Darkstar is asking for a fight, he'll get one!"

Applestar leapt down from Highstump and padded up to Creamfur, the two senior warriors, Tigerfur and (other) following close behind. Silentpaw studied the young leader, suddenly doubting her dream.

It could hardly be true. How could this cat, though young for a leader, stray from the path that StarClan has laid down? Applestar was fully clan raised and the warrior code was all that the she-cat had even learned. It seemed impossible that she would turn her back on that. She was very thoughtful and wise and always listened to the senior warriors and elders older than her. Silentpaw shook her head. It could not be true that Applestar could leave the path of StarClan...could it?

Blackfeather yawned as Fernkit licked her mother's nose.

"Come on mama! I want to go outside!" the young kit complained. Blackfeather blinked down at her daughter fondly and rasped her tongue across her ear. Blackfeather stood and stretched, her tense muscles relaxing. Fernkit let out a mew of excitement and then darted towards the entrance to the nursery. Blackfeather followed, her paws wearily carrying her after her kit.

The sun was blazing far above the horizon like a fiery ball,warming the entire forest. The wind was still giving no relief from the heat and the streams trickled weakly along the rocks.The grass was brittle and scorched from the growing heat and the trees dehydrated. The forest needed water, soon, but the sky stayed cloudless unaware of the needy forest.

Blackfeather spotted her other two kits bouncing around the apprentice den. Ivypaw sat contently flicking her tail back and forth as the kits raced after it. Fernkit let out a mew of excitement and raced over to join her siblings. Blackfeather purred with amusement and padded over to the young cats.Creamkit leapt at the tail but missed as Ivypaw swept it away. Emberkit raced after it at top speed while Fernkit batted at the thing as it flew by. Ivypaw purred as Emberkit bowled into Fernkit, both collapsing in a heap in the dust.

"They seem to really like you," Blackfeather commented as Creamkit joined the little pile in the grass. Ivypaw looked up at Blackfeather purring.

"They are really sweet and-"Suddenly Emberkit leapt and caught Ivypaw's tail, digging in his needle sharp claws. The apprentice yowled and leapt to her paws. Emberkit jumped away in alarm while Creamkit stood ridge with shock. Ivypaw studied her tail and quickly rasped her tongue across the tip of it. Emberkit lowered his head and sheath his little claws.

"I'm sorry Ivypaw," Emberkit said quietly, staring at the ground as he swiped up a cloud of dust. Ivypaw purred whacking the young kit on the head playfully.

"Ivypaw! You nearly took little Emberkit's head off!" All five cats turned to see Foxfur padding up to them. The brilliant ginger tom's fur looked majestic in the sunlight and his large shoulders rippled through his pelt. He sat down next to Blackfeather and gently rubbed his head against her shoulder. Blackfeather purred and licked his ear. Fernkit raced over and butted heads with her father while Creamkit and Emberkit bounced around his paws.

"Are you taking Ivypaw out training!" Creamkit mewed looking up at her father earnestly. Foxfur purred.

"Riversong wants her to go on patrol with me and Shadeclaw," the ginger tom replied. Fernkit's eyes grew huge with excitement while Creamkit leap to her paws.

"Can we come!" she yowled, her tail erect. Foxfur batted at her and purred as the young kit dodged to the side.

"Now Creamkit. You know that you can't go out until you are an apprentice," Blackfeather said. Creamkit glared at her mother and then lowered her head rejectingly. Emberkit stared at his bigger sister and then gently bumped her on the shoulder.

"Why don't we go and see the elders!" he said. Creamkit nodded and then raced after him towards the elders den. Fernkit's eyes grew huge at the prospect of being left out and quickly darted after them trying to get them to wait. Foxfur purred and turned to Blackfeather.

"There would be no harm if they came with us..." Blackfeather shook her head firmly.

"No Foxfur. With Darkstar's plans we all know that there is going to be trouble from the other clans. Kits are the last things that need to be out of the camp," she said. Foxfur sighed and glanced at Ivypaw who kneaded the ground impatiently. Foxfur glanced over his shoulder and spotted Shadeclaw padding out of the warrior's den. The black tom flicked his tail and Foxfur nodded.

"We had better go," he said standing and stretching. Ivypaw nodded and walked over to Shadeclaw. Foxfur nuzzled Blackfeather and gingerly licked her shoulder. "I love you," he murmured.

Blackfeather closed her eyes and took in his scent. She purred under his warm gaze and licked him on the neck in reply.

"I love you too," she whispered. Foxfur wrapped his tail around her back for a moment more and then turned and hurried away. Blackfeather watched as Shadeclaw mewed something quietly to Foxfur who lashed out at the young tom. The black tom didn't even flinch under the ginger tom's glare, but instead stood and padded out of the camp. Foxfur took a deep breath while Ivypaw gently nudged his shoulder. She whispered something and Foxfur nodded. Together, the apprentice and the mentor walked out of the camp.

Blackfeather sighed as she stood and padded over to the elders den. She loved Foxfur with all of her heart and she knew that he loved her back. They had fallen in love when they were apprentices and their relationship had grown stronger ever since. They were closer than most mates and did not hide their love.

They had no secrets from each other and when they had kits it seemed to drive them even closer together, but Blackfeather did not feel right. Something festered inside of her, like a hole in her heart, but she had no idea what it could be. She had the love of her life and kits to make their relationship even more perfect, and yet her life was still not complete.

Owlclaw shivered, his pelt bristled. His claws were extended, gripping the rocks under paw and his tail was held high. He stepped forward and winced as his paw broke through the surface. He glanced up and then leapt, landing neatly on the ground.

Owlclaw turned and looked back at the stream that he had crossed, pride flashing through his eyes. He knew that because he was a WaterClan cat now, he should be used to the water, but this part of clan life stilled bothered him, something that he would most likely never get used to.

He quickly shook himself trying to get rid of as many droplets as possible before heading away from the river. Owlclaw picked his way carefully through the bracken, avoiding any twigs or leaves that might make sound under his step.

The sun beat heavily on his pelt as Owlclaw traveled across the terrain, but he barely felt it as he slipped into another stream. His belly fur clutched to his stomach uncomfortably and the fur on his paws stayed slick. He slipped and fell forward with a loud yowl, swallowing water as his muzzle crashed into the stream.

Owlclaw leapt to his paws and darted out of the water, shaking his head to rid it of the bitter taste. Owlclaw quickly rasped his tongue over his chest trying to warm himself. He sat quietly, shivering as the cold water seeped into his fur and into his skin.

He knew that he should not be doing this. He should be hunting for the clan or on patrol, he owned the clan that much. Ever since they had taken him in, teaching him the warrior code and making him a warrior, Owlclaw had tried so hard to please them and gain their trust, and yet here he was...

Owlclaw shook his head and stood up. The sun was slowly descending from the sky casting long, dark shadows throughout the forest. He would had to return to the camp soon but he knew that he had to see her...

Owlclaw jumped at the sound of a twig snapping and his ears stood straight up, listening for the sound again. He lowered to the ground and hurried into the shelter of a bush. The tom glanced out and spotted Sootpaw, noisily stalking a crow. The bird seemed to know that the apprentice was there, but it would simply hop forward each time the young tom tried to get closer. Owlclaw snorted in amusement as Sootpaw lashed his tail in frustration. Trying not to alert the apprentice or the crow, Owlclaw darted away, his tail held low and his body close to the ground.

Owlclaw glanced over his shoulder once he had escaped and breathed a sigh of releif. He could not afford for anyone in the clan to know that he was out here alone especially if they caught him with her...

Owlclaw sped up. The sun had sunk even more and he knew that he had to hurry before he was missed. Owlclaw skirted around a log and then leapt back as he hurled into Sootpaw. The apprentice yowled with surprise and jumped backward, his fluffy kitten down bristled in alarm. Owlclaw took a few deep breaths trying to calm his racing heart. Sootpaw trembled slightly from the shock and sat down, his eyes wide as he stared at a leaf caught between his paws.

"What are you doing?!" Owlclaw hissed trying to keep his anger at being caught under control. Sootpaw glanced up at the outraged tom and flinched back. Owlclaw closed his eyes and breathed deeply once more. If he ever wanted an apprentice, he would have to learn to keep his anger under control. Sootpaw scuffed the ground, his ears lowered and his tail wrapped around his paws.

"I was just out hunting," he mumbled. Owlclaw glared at him for a moment longer and then sighed.

"Well next time try to sneak up on the prey, not on another clan mate," he said. Sootpaw purred with amusement and then studied Owlclaw closely.

"What...what are you doing out here?" he asked. Owlclaw narrowed his eyes at the questions and felt the fur on his spine beginning to bristle. Sootpaw's eyes grew huge at the warrior's reaction and he quickly shook his head. "You don't have to tell me..."

Owlclaw looked away sharply, angry at himself for his treatment to the young tom. Sootpaw was now looking at the ground again, his fur fluffed out against the growing wind. Owlclaw glanced around and then nudged the apprentice playfully.

"Come on. I'll help you bring your catch back and if we can hurry maybe we can actually eat," he said. Sootpaw nodded and leapt to his paws. He turned and padded away into the foliage. Owlclaw sighed and looked in the direction of the setting sun. That was were she sat. That was where she would wait. That was where he would not be. Owlclaw turned and padding after the apprentice, leaving his heart behind by the dieing sun.

so that was my idea. i have six main characters...2 from each clan and in each chappie u'll hear about 3. i did not choose the cats of my friends in fact i dont know any of the people whose cat i chose and these people did not ask for their cats to be mains either. just when i was writing the clan descriptions and stuff, different ideas popped into my head and so i'm using them. i hope that i am gettint ur kitty's personality right...next chappie will be about the Gathering where Applestar is going to confront Darkstar! wait and see! I would luv to get reviews from everyone. if u happen to have any ideas for what ur cat might do at the gathering i'm all open for possibilities. i'll start the next one right now!

oh yeah...the next update will be done. all of the new cats that i get will be posted up. thank u to everyone who helped!
