Stephanie blinked her eyes in the familiar area of her bed room. She groaned and sat up. "This is amazing." She said aloud, getting her phone. "I just had another clan dream! This is amazing! Every Night I'm going to wake up in the clans."

She got an immediate reply from Caroline. "Really? That's freaky."

"And it's true. You and Tiffany were there too!"

"I thought you said before that we weren't..."

"You were born last night."

"Well that sounds freaky XD" Tiffany replied, jumping into the chat box. Stephanie giggled.

"What are our names?" Caroline asked.

"Coalkit and Thornkit." Steph replied.

"I like those names :)" Tiffany said.

"Your mother is a cat named Lilyfall."

"No way... our mom is Lillian :O" Tiffany said immediately.

"And my mother is Mistyshine, and my mom is Mary." Stephanie said.

"That's pretty neat." Caroline replied.

"There's only one problem." Steph texted.

"What?"

"Wut?"

"Brittany and Matt are there too."

"No freakin way D:!" Tiffany texted.

"Well that stinks." Caroline said.

"I know. I'll tell you more once I get to school." Stephanie folded her phone and put it on the table. She got dressed and skipped to the kitchen. She ignored her brother and opened the door to skip out the door. Her life was great. She walked the whole way to school, and pushed the front doors aside. She walked down the hallway, not interupted by Brittany and Matt, who were dating. She was joined by Tiffany and Caroline as they walked as a trio.

"You are so lucky, Steph." Tiffany said.

Stephanie smiled and walked into her classroom. "I wish you guys were there with me." She said.

"Who knows, maybe we will." Caroline winked playfully.

Stephanie laughed and put her bag on the desk and began to flip through it to find her folder. She over heard Matt and his friend, who sat a few desks away.

"Why is your ear bleeding?" His friend asked him.

"I don't know. I woke up this way."

Stephanie froze.

She slowly lifted her head to look at Matt's short brown hair, that didn't cover his left ear with a neat scar on it, like it was done by a claw. "Oh... no..." Stephanie whispered.

"What?" Tiffany asked.

Stephanie just stared at Matt for a few moments. He looked genuinely confused. She flashed back to when she was Stormykit, and had given Mousepaw a notch in his ear. Her hands shook and she froze. "That's- that's impossible..." She mumbled.

"What?" Caroline asked anxiously.

Steph sat down and turned to her friends. "I fought an apprentice named Mousepaw last night, and I gave him a notch in the ear... Matt has a notch in his ear..."

They looked at her for a few moments, confused at what she was getting at. When understanding flashed in their eyes, they let out a slight gasp. "M-Maybe it's just a coincidence..." Caroline suggested.

"Maybe... but look at his ear, guys. It looks like a neat cut."

"Geez... That's a bit scary."

"Do you know what this means?" Stephanie gasped. They nodded, but she didn't think they saw the entire part of what she saw. "If someone gets hurt in the clans, they get hurt here too. If someone dies in the clans, they die here too. We're all in danger." She said softly, softly pointing to Matt. "Apprentices can easily get killed, and kits are defenseless. We're only kits, if we die, we die here too."

"I think you're jumping to conclusions." Tiffany said softly.

"I don't think so."

"Well, we need to test it. How much longer until you become an apprentice?"

"I don't know. I wasn't aware when Stormykit was born or when I began to become her."

"So... You just need to be very careful. Protect us, especially." Caroline added hastily. Stephanie could see fear in her eyes. Caroline believed her.

"What's going to happen when there's a battle? It's very unlikely that everyone survives through a clan battle."

"What other clans were there again?"

"ForestClan and WaterClan."

"There's no clan for WindClan?"

"That's what I asked. My mother told me there was a GrassClan, and the elder Volepelt told me a story about them. He said two-legs took over their territory. He explained what the fields are used for now, and I think he meant Baseball."

"Oh, well... um... geez I don't know how to respond to all this. It's really overwhelming. I don't want to die." Caroline hugged her knees, as she brought them up to her desk.

"I'll make sure to protect you, and everyone I know and love."

"What about your brother?"

Stephanie groaned. "He's there too. Almost took the name Jaykit."

"Ick. Your brother taking your favorite warrior's name?"

"Exactly! So I suggested Jaggedkit, so we changed it."

"Well that's good." The bell rang and the teacher stepped up to the board to begin, but Stephanie couldn't focus when she knew that she, or anyone she knew, could die in one night, while she watched their life slip away.


Well then, I think now I've established the danger. That's what this story is partly about. It reminds me a lot of the Dark Forest, you go there at night and any scars you get appear on you the moment you awake. By the way, I need to add into the next chapter a bit of her brother in real life to show how annoying he is, lol.

Go ahead and make predictions, lol.

Plus, there's more to the story. No one knows it yet, though.

Please Review!
