Chapter 1

"All cats in this Clan know how it was formed. Now, young kit, it is your turn," A black and white queen murmured to her young dark brown tabby kit. "Long ago, we were living in a lush, green land that had a river, marsh, forest, and moors."

She took a breath then continued. "One tom, Thunder, decided that the forest would be his family's home. He liked the protectiveness of the trees. A she-cat, River, liked to swim, so she chose the area that had the river flowing through it. Another smaller she-cat, Wind, knew that the only way to get her true speed was on the moors. Lastly, Shadow, he liked the way the marsh felt under his paws, so he and his family lived there. But, most Clans forgot the fifth leader, Rain. He, like the others, took his family and some followers and named them RainClan, after him. He also named himself Rainstar."

"Like the Clan leaders today, right Time?" the kit asked.

"Yes. He had territory that combined all the others. His cats knew how to run fast, fish, hunt under cover of trees, and prowl the marsh. They were always well fed, with all the sources of prey. However, after one winter, the other Clans were near starved. They wanted Rainstar to leave, so that they wouldn't starve. He refused. The other Clans snuck into his camp one night, and when Rainstar woke up, he found that his mate, two kits, and a Warrior was killed."

The kit gasped, green eyes round. "Rainstar was distraught. He brought it up with the other Clans at the next Gathering, but they said it was necessary. Rainstar then decided to leave, to find a better place to live. In front of the other Clans, he dropped the –star from his name and became Rain. Rain also changed his Clan name from RainClan to BloodClan, in recognition of the blood lost in his Clan. All the other leaders were shocked when they heard his threat. Later, it may be much later, but my Clan will be strong. Then, and only then, you will pay for this injustice. You can forget if you want, but my threat will always be there, from the time I tried to live peacefully in this land. Rain then left, his Clan behind them, tails swishing in fury."

"I would be mad, too." The kit whispered, earning a comforting lick from its mother.

"They found refuge in the city, where conditions were good, and they thrived. In his anger, Rain stopped believing in StarClan. He did well without it, for a while. But then, a cat came to fufill the threat set many years ago. His name was Scourge. He found out that the Clans did one thing they were told, they didn't know anything of BloodClan, their elders knew nothing, either. In addition, he found out that they had kept their 'old' words, such as leafbare and crowfood, and were very primitive. He was defeated by a lucky orange cat. If Rain had believed in StarClan, Scourge would have not been defeated. Our old new leader, Ghost, your father, went to the Clans 'Moonpool' and was welcomed into StarClan's open arms. He also made sure that all cats in BloodClan knew the Clan's moves that defeated Scourge."

Time took another breath, then said, "Since we now believe in StarClan, they have given us a prophecy to help us fufill Rain's promise, and gain back some territory that is rightfully ours. Nobody except Sun the medicine cat knows of it, not even me, Ghost's mate. It is supposedly about a kit who will bring respect to BloodClan's name again." Time looked at the young kit who lay sleeping by her side.

"I know that story well, Time, but I do have to admit that you tell it best. Young, well… what is your kits name?" Sun asked, while entering the hole used as a nursery.

"Panther." Time responded proudly.

Sun's mouth gaped. "Isn't the kit a she-cat?"

"Yes," Time answered, "but I figured it would be a great name for the kit of Ghost, best leader since Rain. Anyway, doesn't she look like one of those big cats? I know that you have been going to the other nursery holes and telling the queens the prophecy. Why haven't you been here first?"

"Time," Sun mewed slowly, "I have not been telling them the prophecy from StarClan, I have been checking their kits names. There is a certain name for the kit of the prophecy."

Time's amber eyes narrowed dangerously. "What is it, then?"

"I will tell you the whole prophecy. One kit, Blood the fullest, shallreturn what is rightfull to it. The kit has time and ghosts on its side, and will always win. Dawn of a new time shall begin with Panther. Your kit, Panther, will bring greatness to BloodClan again."

"Thank you Sun," Time replied, "I knew she would be special. BloodClan has always been considered the undercat, but now, no longer. I will make sure that my kit will accomplish this prophecy. She will follow in the noble steps set before her in BloodClan."

"Ghost would've enjoyed the fact that his kit would be in a prophecy. If only—"

Time cut Sun off, "Yes, if only he hadn't been killed by that cheating rouge, Silence. Then all would be peaceful in BloodClan, and there would be no turmoil in who is leader next. My kit will show all of them."

Sun nodded, his amber eyes glinting in the occasional light from a car. "BloodClan has fallen before, and it will rise, stronger than ever to fufill a promise set so long ago."

"Yes. I wish to be alone, Sun. I must think of all Panther will do to make the other Clans regret making us leave our true home. She will get back territory for us that isn't in this plentiful, but reeking city. "

Sun nodded respectively, and slouched out the nursery hole and into the outside, where, Sun discovered, was much more free than the hole. How can the queens stand it? He thought in disgust, while walking away.

In the nursery, Time chuckled. Sun's scent had given awayu a lot about his moods, as did his facial expressions. Time vowed to teach Panther everything she knew, and intended to introduce her to the eldest and most experienced Warriors. We will teach everything, even the small things, to Panther to make her the best Warrior and leader she can be.

A slight breeze entered the nursery, ruffling Time's fur pleasently. Do not worry, it seemed to say, StarClan is behind Panther and the new BloodClan. You deserve more than you are getting now.

Time's mouth widened in a broad smile, Perfect, she thought.
