Nothing really important to say, other than that the plot may change very unexpectedly. Enjoy!

~ Chapter 1 by Shadowfall of LightClan, otherwise known as Meta Write.


The dark Tom picked himself up, his blood encrusted fur stiffened. He sniffed the air, and caught the scent of LightClan.

I must be in their territory, He thought, shaking the dust off of his Brown fur. He looked down at his paws, and saw his claws digging deep into the dirt.

Who did this to me? He thought. He needed revenge! He bolted far out into the forest, little did he know, that he was going closer to the camp of LightClan.


Ashstar woke up, and heard the Clan outside his den. He heard the excited yowled of kits, the chattering of Apprentices, and the negotiating of warriors. He stretched and walked outside of the den. He leapt to the branch nearest to his den, catching it with his claws and scrambling up. He surveyed the Clan and smiled devilishly.

Soon they won't be so relaxed about their lifestyle, He thought of the cat he had seen in his dream, and smiled again as he remembered what the cat said.

StarClan shall fall...

"Ashstar!" Who was this, now?

"Ashstar!" Ashstar looked towards where the voice came from. He stopped when his gaze fell on a petite, lithe tortoishell she-cat.

"Yes, Leafstorm?" Ashstar replied.

"Do you mind if I take Lightningpaw out with me and Windpaw?" Ashstar shook his head.

"No, I don't mind," He replied. Leafstorm nodded in her thanks and ran to find Lightningpaw and Windpaw.


Leafstorm, Lightningpaw, and Windpaw padded through the forest, the light filtering through the trees, seeming green.

"Now, what is the first thing you do on hunting patrol?" Leafstorm asked the apprentices.

"Uh, hunt, duh!" Lightningpaw laughed, rolling her eyes.

"Get low to the ground and move downwind from prey-scent!" Windpaw yowled triumphantly, puffing out his chest.

"Good job, Windpaw!" Leafstorm laughed. She pointed her muzzle in the air. "What do you smell?"

"Mouse!" Both Apprentices called out at once. Lightningpaw crouched low to the ground, her back arched up. Leafstorm nor Windpaw dared comment on this. Lightningpaw leapt through the air, moving upwind from the prey. The 3 cats heard shuffling in the bushes, and when it stopped, a mouse appeared, scurrying away. Windpaw leapt over to it and killed it with one swift bite.

"Want some?" He asked through a mouthful of mouse. Both warrior and apprentice nodded.

"Lightningpaw, you really need to work on your stea-" Leafstorm was cut off as Lightningpaw let out a high pitched yowl.

"I know what I need to work on!" Lightningpaw yowled. "But Ashstar never trains me! This is my first time out of camp!"

"What did you say, Lightningpaw?" Windpaw asked.

"I SAID that Ashstar never takes me out of camp!" She replied. Leafstorm's face twisted in shock.

"Come with me, I'll train you," She said to the Black-and-Golden furred she-cat. Lightningpaw nodded and raced after the Brown-and-yellow cat. Windpaw's white-and-gray pelt flashed through the trees as he followed. Lightningpaw laughed in glee as she bounded through the forest, her yellow eyes flashing in the sunlight.

"What Will you be training her?" Windpaw asked.

" I will be training her how to improve her hunting crouch," Leafstorm replied. "Lightningpaw, get into the hunting crouch." Lightningpaw obeyed, her tail still high in the air. Leafstorm placed her paw on the top of Lightningpaw's back, and gently pushed her back closer to the ground. She flicked her tail, telling her to do the same. Lightningpaw nodded, and flicked her tail, the end result being that it was closer to the ground.

"Now try it." Lightningpaw sniffed the air, then began creeping forwards. She stopped in front of a tree, smiling. Smoothly she slithered up the trunk, and, not making any rustling, crept onto a branch.

She leapt forwards.

A squack was heard, then silence. Lightningpaw climbed down the tree, a crow hanging from her jaws. Both Leafstorm and Windpaw's jaws dropped in astonishment.

"Your first catch.. Is a CROW! Congratulations, Lightningpaw! Let's take that back to camp to show Ashstar!" Leafstorm meowed. Lightningpaw giggled.

"Yeah, we should be back at camp, once you get your catches," Lightningpaw said. Leafstorm and Windpaw nodded in agreement and ran through the forest, Lightningpaw trailing behind. Suddenly, Lightningpaw stopped. She heard something that sounded like a moan. She ran faster than the other two, moving forwards. Leafstorm and Windpaw nervously followed, not sure what to make of Lightningpaw's curious spasm.

"Lightningpaw, what's wrong?" Leafstorm called out.

"I heard something!" Lightningpaw replied, but it got muffled, so it sounded like, 'I burnt Something!' Leafstorm gave a curious glance over to Windpaw, who shrugged.

"Why are you running because you burnt something? Don't only Twolegs do that?"

Lightningpaw stopped short.

She saw a limp form laying before them. Lightningpaw nervously moved forward, but stopped about 2 tail lengths away from the form. It was a cat.
