Darkpaw awoke with a strange tom standing over him, "Darkstorm wake up." the tom meowed his face showing no emotion at all.

Darkpaw took this time to look at this tom. The toms face was stern, he had strong legs, a long nose, and he was built for speed, with wise gray eyes. "Darkstorm get up were leaving!" the tom said as he turned his back on Darkpaw then padded away.

Darkpaw's head was swirling with questions, who was Darkstorm, where was he, who was that strange tom, and most of all why was he here.

"Who is Darkstorm," he screamed. He felt something bump his back. He turned around, and saw a she-cat standing behind him. "Some cats will think you're crazy if you keep asking the obvious she said with a tint of amusement in her voice.

Darkpaw felt the fur on the back of his neck bristle with embarrassment, "sorry but whom is Darkstorm?" He asked quietly still embarrassed.

"Your Darkstorm you mouse brain, you can't remember your own name." Darkstorm shrugged than said, "Who was that tom that was just standing over me?"

"You don't know your own leader now," meowed the she-cat, "wow that fall must have done a number on you. Well to answer your question that tom is named Wind; he has been the leader of this clan since before I was born. He and the other leaders Thunder, Shadow, River, and Sky, have been leading us four clans for so long trying to find a home, but they have found nothing."

The she-cat looked down at her paws sadly. "What's your name," Darkstorm asked softly. "Ivypool." Said the she-cat as she turned away, "my names Ivypool." "Now come on or Wind is going to eat you for lunch."

But before he could pad after her his world went blank. Then he heard a voice, "clans will fall clans will rise, but every night brings brand new skies."

Darkpaw jumped up the fur on his neck bristling. Foxpaw and Cedarpaw opened their eyes then closed them again, "those lazy mouse brains they must hate waking up, he said to himself.

Confused Darkpaw walked out of the apprentice den then grabbed a mouse out of the fresh kill pile, and started to eat. The mouse tasted delicious, it was fat and juicy.

"Darkpaw so you're awake." Darkpaw looked behind him and saw his mentor Nightclaw sitting by him, "We are starting fighting training today."

Darkpaw's face lit up as he fallowed his mentor into the training patch. Should I tell Nightclaw about my dream, he thought to himself. He quickly shook the thought away, and kept fallowing his mentor.

When they reached the patch Nightclaw said,

"Now when you attack keep your attention on your opponent." Darkpaw nodded then leaped at Nightclaw, paws extended.

Nightclaw side stepped Darkpaw and batted him with his paws. Darkpaw leaped at Nightclaw again, but this time he caught him by surprise. Nightclaw fell down with a thump.

"Nice job Darkpaw you caught me by surprise," said Nightclaw with admiration in his eyes.

They went on training until long past sunhigh. Darkpaw padded exhausted into the camp, when he heard the whole clan chanting, "Rainpaw, Ivypaw, Redpaw.

Nighclaw said, "They must have been apprenticed while we were gone." Inside Darkpaw felt disappointed that he missed his own nursery mates apprentice ceremony.

Just then Ivypaw ran up to Darkpaw and Nightclaw with a spring in her step, "Darkpaw guess who my mentor is. Darkpaw shrugged. "Ravenstar," she said looking like she would burst from excitement.

"Too bad the nursery will be empty now, said Darkpw disappointed. "Not quite," said Ivypaw with excitement, "Olivefur just moved in." At this Nightclaw jumped up swiftly, and ran with astonishing speed to the nursery.

"I don't think Olivefur will be lonely in there all by herself she's got Nightclaw, Ivypaw said giggling. Then Darkpaw said, "Nobody could be lonely with Nightclaw around." Ivypaw laughed' "I wonder how many kits they'll have?"

"I don't know most likely a lot by the way Littlepelt has been acting. She's been frantic," said Darkpaw. Just then the dusk parole burst into the clearing with Yellowtail dragging Tigerhart by the scruff, his apprentice Ceaderpaw padding close behind his eyes filled with worry.

Ravenstar ran from his den up to Yellowtail and said, "Yellowtail what happened?" "It was Riverclan," he said, "We were patrolling the Riverclan boarder when a Riverclan parole caught us by surprise. It was Echostar, Oakstep, Stormclaw, and Cloudpelt. Tigerhart leaped at Stormclaw, but he was struck down with one blow of his mighty paw. Then they said tell Ravenstar that Riverclan declares war on Windclan, and that Tigerhart was a warning, then they padded back to their camp."

Ravenstar looked troubled by this. He nodded thank you to Yellowtail, then jumped on to Lowstump, and called, "let all cats old enough to catch their own pray gather hear beneath lowstump."

When the clan was gathered Ravenstar said, "As some of you know Tigerhart has been wounded, and is now in the care of Littlepelt." Ravenstar's words were met by angry yowls.

Ravenstar silenced them with a flick of his tail then he said. "Riverclan has also declared war on us, no apprentice may go out of camp by themselves, and everyone must be on high alert."

As he padded away he thought to himself, what's happening?
