I am so sorry I haven't updated in a long time, but I had so much stuff to do that I completely forgot about the story! So, without further ado, onwards!

"Lilystorm, Snowfall, Lilystorm, Snowfall!" The voices of my clanmates surrounded me as they called out the names of the two newest warriors in their Clan.

"Tonight you will guard camp in silence," Pebblestar told us. "I suggest you eat first." Snowfall and I padded over to the fresh-kill pile and each selected a piece of prey. When we had finished eating them, we took out positions outside the barrier.

The first half of the night passed uneventfully. Snowfall occasionally paced the border, but for the most part, we stayed in one position. Then I leapt to my paws.

"Wolf!" I hissed, glaring into the darkness where I could just barely make out the shape of a wolf, its glowing yellow eyes fixed straight on the two of us.

"Lilystorm, what are you talking about? There's nothing there," replied Snowfall squinting all around, oblivious to the wolf, which was coming closer and closer. Suddenly it stopped and motioned like it wanted me to follow it.

"You're right, there isn't anything there," I agreed. "I'm going to patrol the border again." I raced around the edge of camp until I was sure she couldn't see me anymore, then doubled back. The wolf was still standing there. It turned and started walking into the night with me trotting at its heels.

It may have seemed stupid to follow a wolf away from camp in the middle of the night, but the wolf just seemed to have some sort of strange effect on my mind. I couldn't help wanting to follow it and the feeling that I shouldn't follow it made it all the more tempting.

When we stopped walking the wolf turned around to face me. The expression on its face made me freeze up in terror. Foam dribbled from the edges of its mouth and its yellow eyes rolled crazily in its head. It was the poster animal for rabies. I slowly started to back away in terror, but froze again when it spoke.

"Hello little one. So we meet again." Its (I still couldn't tell if it was a male or female) voice was soft, but I got the feeling that it could have spoken in a crowded room and it still would have been audible.

"We've never met," I said back, trying to convey a bravery I didn't feel.

"Of course we've met," the wolf responded. "I meet everyone eventually. No matter how good, or kind, or noble you are I still find everyone in the end."

"Who are you?" I asked.

The wolf leered at me. "I have many names. Sometimes I am wrath, sometimes greed, sometimes pride, or gluttony, or envy. But no matter which of those names I have at the time I am still Sin."

I frowned. "Wait, you're saying that you're a physical manifestation of the seven deadly sins?"

"Very good! Yes, I am the seven deadly sins, as you call them."

"So why do you want me?" I asked.

"You are a special case, a chosen one, you might say. I visit you to give you a warning." Sin said, seeming irritated that I hadn't picked up on that sooner.

"But if you're all the sins, aren't you evil?" I pointed out. "Why would you help me? I'm not evil… right?

Sin rolled its eyes. "Foolish kit. No you are not evil, and neither am I."

"What?" I asked, even more confused than before. "But you just said that you are all of the sins, which are evil. Wouldn't that make you evil too?"

Sin shook its head. "No. The sins are not evil. They are necessary."

"That doesn't make any sense!" I fumed. "They're called the seven deadly sins for a reason! They are deadly!"

"The sins themselves do not kill. Those who give into them do." Sin explained. "The sins are like test. Resisting them makes you stronger, while giving in makes you weak. Without them, life would not have much of a purpose and there would be no heroes. It may not be kind, but life is not kind either."

I nodded. "I still don't like it."

"It does not matter whether you like it or not. All that matters is that it happens. Wishing for a change will do nothing. Now do you want my warning or not?" When I nodded, Sin continued. "There is one in your clan who has given in to the sins. He wishes many of the Clan dead."

"Some warning," I snorted. "I already knew that!"

"But do you know who it is?" Sin asked. When I didn't respond, he grinned. "Then let me tell you."

Sin leaned over and placed his muzzle next to my ear. "The cat is Sparkpaw," he hissed. I jerked away, stunned.

What?

And a cliffhanger! Mwahahaha! I bet nobody saw that one coming! The light the prophecy was referring to was the light caused by a spark, not Lightpaw's name. So please review! I could use the motivation.
