Hey everyone, Bramblestar14 here. Sorry about the long gap between chapters, I've had a lot on recently, with modern warfare 3 and a GCSE test, so I haven't really had time to upload this. And the fact that im planning around another 5 books, but you can see that on my bio. I've had mixed reviews. Lots of people want more, so I will give you more. I have also been asked about length. Im an idiot for even attempting this, but I want to write 6 full length warrior cats books. Well, enough from me, on with the story...

Chapter 2

Brambleclaw hissed at the intruder with murder in his eyes. He had no idea what this rouge cat was doing on their territory, but he didn't care. All that mattered was that he WAS on their territory. He stared at the cat. It was filthy; it had obviously walked into a lot of mud without noticing as it was all brown. The mud was masking its scent, so he could not tell whether it was either an enemy cat form a different clan, a rouge or a kittypet.

He ran forward, hissing madly. But the other cat was ready and spun away, also spitting. There was something else in the cats eyes apart from anger. Was there recognition there? But Brambleclaw didn't have time to think, for the cat was now jumping at him. He rolled to one side and lashed out, hitting his opponent in the head. But the cat came straight back, lashing out at him. As he tried to duck, the intruder changed in midair and barrel-rolled over him, sending him flying into a nearby tree.

He got up, blood coming from a gash on his head, and was confused. That was a ThunderClan move. Was this cat possibly an exile, or a long lost friend. And then the cat spoke, and Brambleclaw was filled with a sense of dread, for he recognised that voice. It was the voice ofhis leader, Firestar, who Brambleclaw himself had walked with away from camp. He mewed, very tentatively, "F-F-Firestar?"

Firestar let out a sigh of relief and Brambleclaw realised that Firestar was more exasperated then angry. "Well, I now know for sure that I taught you well," Firestar said as he shook the mud off himself, "those were some impressive moves". Brambleclaw was curious. "So was that all a test" he asked, which got a laugh from Firestar. "No, I must have walked through the mud without noticing and you attacked me. Well done. I've been distracted today, sorry" Firestar mumbled something else about "bad dreams", which made Brambleclaw stop dead. He had had a bad dream the previous night as well. Something about fire and a battle. He had been about to ask Firestar about it earlier, but hadn't known what to say.

But he didn't want to worry Firestar, so instead he mewed jokingly, "maybe Jayfeather should give you some poppy seeds" to which Firestar, realising he had heard about the dreams, laughed. Suddenly, they heard paws coming towards them and both unsheathed their claws. But it was just Thornclaw, coming back with a large piece of fresh-kill in his jaws. "Come on" he mewed enthusiastically "lets go back before we give them all a heart attack from worry". As they headed off, Firestar pulled Brambleclaw to one side and said "About the dreams, well, these were just some wierd dreams. I've had stranger, they just felt like the future. Something about fire and a battle"

Ooooh, a cliffhanger! Sorry about the short chapter last time, im trying to make them longer so you guys can enjoy them more. And to make them more like the books. If you liked this or didn't, or have any queries or correction, review and i will try to give all people credit in the next one as well as answer all of your questions. I will try to upload a new chapter every Saturday so stay tuned.

Challenge of the chapter: 5 reviews for a reveal on who the strange StarClan cat in the prologue was.
