Kira here with my first chapter for the fanfic I'm co-writing with Silverstar! I do hope you all enjoy ^^

The chilling leaffall air sent chills down the spine of a pale gray she-cat as she stepped outside of the medicine cat den. Above there was not a single cloud in the sky and a nearly full moon lit up the night. However, very few stars seemed to glitter through the sky. Her light blue eyes flicked through the darkness until she noticed a huge black tom sitting alone. She took a cautious step forward, not knowing how the tom was feeling.

"Crowstar?" The black tom bristled in surprise. He turned and looked at the white-flecked she-cat and he calmed.

"It's just you, Clearwater," He sighed. "Scared me right of my pelt."

She gave a small, awkward purr, "Sorry."

"It's alright. However, a warning would be great next time."

"So, what are you doing up?" She asked, taking a next to him, her pale gray pelt a light silver in the moonlight. The tom's amber eyes appeared troubled as he looked from the medicine cat up towards the strange, almost starless sky.

"Something feels wrong, Clearwater... I don't know why, but..."

"Are you feeling ill?" She asked quickly, worried over the well-being of the leader. However, Crowstar simply shook his head.

"I'm fine, I promise. I'm not sick it's just... I feel like StarClan is hiding something. Something important."

"Why do you think that?"

Is he really doubting out ancestors? The panicked thought raced through her mind for a heartbeat, but she pushed it back.

"I haven't had contact them recently, even when I tried to," He shook his head again and let out a heavy sigh. "I'm worrying over nothing. It might just be the peace and there's nothing wrong at all except for a paranoid leader."

"Everything will be alright. They would let us know if something was wrong." She promised.

"I hope you're right."

I do, too. She thought, glancing down at her paws. The medicine cat shared the dark leader's worry. She personally hadn't from StarClan as of lately, but now she felt a little alarmed as well. Fighting back her fear the best she could, she glanced over at the tom. A sudden thought crossed her mind.

"Crowstar?"

"Yes?"

"I have something to tell you." He looked concerned and Clearwater could tell if she gave him any big news it would probably be too much stress on the hardworking leader. Instead, she told him something that wasn't as troubling.

"Petaltail and Shadowstorm's wounds are almost healed enough to move her back to the warriors den and have her resume her duties."

"That's good to hear," He sounded thankful for the good news. Care gave a caring glance towards the medicine cat. "You should get some rest. I promise I'll go get some rest myself soon enough. I just want to spend a little more time to think, so don't worry."

Clearwater purred. "You furball, worrying about you and this Clan is what I was trained to do."

"I know, I know." After that small moment of joy, Clearwater turned away and padded back to the medicine cat den. Though her mind was still troubled with the news, she didn't say anything. Curling up in her nest, she glanced over at her two patients. The gashes on Shadowstorm's sides and shoulders were looking a lot better and though Petaltail's pretty face was tainted by the ugly scar and her pelt was tattered with scars, she was glad the two were going to make it. The news of their recovery did both her and Crowstar good, especially if any future issues came up. Closing her eyes, she drifted off to sleep. After letting the darkness of sleep overtake her, she was surprised to find herself awake and alert. In front of her was the founder of MoonClan, Blossomstar. The mostly dark cream she-cat had a sense of urgency to her as she met the medicine cat's eyes.

"Clearwater, I have some grim news." The she-cat explained, her green eyes sullen.

"What is it?" Worry tainted the pale gray she-cat's voice. The former MoonClan leader closed her eyes for a second and then opened them again soon after. There was a distant look in her eyes and she sounded distant and a lot wiser than she already was told to be.

"The moon will burn and from the ashes two will rise, leading the Clan to a place protected by the stars."

"What do you mean 'the moon will burn'?! What's going to happen to MoonClan?" But the former leader shrugged off the panicked questions with little effort.

"Just remember dark times are ahead and not every cat is what they seem." With those final words the she-cat faded and the darkness of sleep overtook Clearwater. Despite how much she struggled to stay in StarClan to question Blossomstar, the she-cat was thrust back into reality. Opening her eyes, she noticed the pale light of early dawn filtering through her den. Getting to her paws, the prophecy stuck fresh in her mind.

"'The moon will burn and from the ashes two will rise'," She looked outside her den, only two or three warriors awake this early in the morning. With the knowledge that darkness lies ahead, she began to worry. It wasn't going to be a safe time for any of the kits or the younger, less experienced apprentices. As she got ready to step outside, she stopped for a moment and up towards the sky "Maybe the two will save the Clan before the Moon has to burn."

But it was only wishful thinking.
