Yes! I got my computer back! Sorry I couldn't update sooner. I had two huge projects due on the same day. And then I got grounded. So without further delay, Chapter two!

Dewpaw moaned in her nest and tried to block out the sounds of her mentor calling her. She hated battle training! Iceshiver always made her train for battle when she'd rather be patrolling or hunting.

"Come on Dewpaw! We have to hunt for the Clan." Iceshiver called. Hunt? Dewpaw stood up from her nest. Well at least they weren't battling. She padded out of the den and walked up to her mentor. Maybe if she caught a lot of prey she could impress her father!

"When are we leaving?" asked Reedpaw. Then she spotted Dewpaw. "Oh, I didn't know you were coming." Reedpaw snapped. She glanced at Iceshiver, who had already started to pad away. "Let's go. I can't wait to beat you in fishing!" Reedpaw laughed nastily as she padded after Iceshiver. Dewpaw trotted after them and in no time at all they were at the river.

"All right, you know how to fish. Have at it." Iceshiver said. Dewpaw carefully positioned herself over the water so that her shadow didn't give herself away. Then she waited. And waited and waited. Then she noticed a large fish swimming near her. A little closer and she'd have it! This would impress Pebblestar for sure! This fish was so close! And strike… Now! Dewpaw sunk her paw into the water and hooked the fish out of the water.

"Yes!" She cheered. One down!

"Only one? Such a shame." Reedpaw hissed. Dewpaw looked over and saw that she saw that Reedpaw had three fish in her pile. Though they were all slightly smaller than Dewpaw's catch, Reedpaw had still beaten her. Dewpaw held back a hiss a turned back to the water. At the end of their hunting session, Reedpaw was still leading by two fish. Dewpaw gathered up her catches and padded after her mentor and Reedpaw. When she got back to camp she noticed that several cats were bleeding. Aquashimmer, their medicine cat, was hurrying around cam, trying to patch everyone up.

"What happened?" Asked Iceshiver. Stormtuft, a blue grey warrior, raised his head.

"We were attacked by rouges! But one seemed to know about our powers. She knew how to evade and dodge them, even work around them. I've never seen a rouge do that before."

All the cats looked at Pebblestar to see how he would receive the news. He looked around them and said "Perhaps our Clans are becoming more known among other cats. This could be a disadvantage. We must have more border patrols and set up more cats to guard the sapphire." He strode away towards his den with Aquashimmer and Pondfoot following.

"You two get some fresh kill. I'll help look after the injured." Iceshiver said. She padded towards the warriors, focusing especially on Stormtuft. Dewpaw walked over to the fresh kill pile, but didn't really feel like eating. She stared at the fish on the pile, pretending to pick out one.

"Want to share?" Dewpaw turned around and looked into the hopeful face of Rushpaw. She shrugged. "Okay."

"So what do you think about the rouges?" Rushpaw asked. "It's kind of weird to think that other cats outside the clans know about the elements."

"Yeah." Dewpaw agreed. "I hope they don't find the sapphire. Do you think they will?"

"Nahh," Rushpaw said confidently. "We have too many cats. They'll never even find it."

"But what if they did?" Dewpaw asked.

"Then we'd fight them off." Rushpaw replied. "They wouldn't defeat us." Dewpaw, nodded, only a little reassured. She got up and looked at the sun, which was beginning to set. She was exhausted.

"You coming to bed?" She asked Rushpaw.

Rushpaw grimaced. "I wish! I've got dusk patrol. See you later." He began to walk off towards the edge of camp. Dewpaw turned and headed for the apprentice den. She could only see one other cat in there, Rainpaw. She curled up in her nest and fell asleep.

She blinked in confusion when she saw the starry trees and landscape around her. Then she noticed the starry cat in front of her. "StarClan? Am I dead?" She asked.

The starry cat laughed. "No, Dewpaw, you are still alive. My name is Ottersplash. I am here to give you a message." Ottersplash stared at Dewpaw seriously. "You must remember this message. It holds the fate of the Clans. Silence will come and the only things that can stop it are the coals, the dew, and the owl. There are two other cats receiving this message now as well. Find them as soon as possible and stop the silence."

Ottersplash faded away and Dewpaw yowled "Wait! What do you mean silence? Who

are the other cats? Come back!" But the dreamscape faded and she bolted awake in her nest.

So, what do you think? Sorry if there are any grammar errors, my computer is being stupid. The next chapter will focus (predictably) on ForestClan! So review and keep reading! GreyAthena, Out.
