"Moons ago, Silverstream visited me. She told me about this prophecy, and that the cats in it would have to save the Clans from 'the ground rising.' That's all I know. I'm sorry." Brightstorm dipped her head.

Skyfall gave her a lick on the head. Brightstorm looked at him gratefully and turned to the cats and wolves.

"If Nightheart were here, she could tell you much more."

"What happened to her?" asked Blazepelt. Brightstorm blinked.

"Taken away by Twolegs. They shoved her in a big web and stabbed some sort of really sharp, clear pine needle filled with red liquid into her flank. I was watching, and it was horrible." Brightstorm shuddered.

"Her pupils covered her eyes, and they started glowing green. And then she grew, and she looked like a dog mixed with a cat." Brightstorm sighed.

"What happens to cats who get taken away by Twolegs? That?" wondered Snowfoot, her fur fluffed out. Brightstorm shrugged.

"They go mad, I guess. All they want to do is listen to the Twolegs. I almost got killed by one of those horrible things- they're even worse than badgers. They stop at nothing. They just want to kill cats." Brightstorm nearly collapsed as she spoke.

Skyfall pressed against her.

Blazepelt looked thoughtfully in the direction of the Thunderpath.

"Why are you looking over there?" Penguinfur asked, noticing her expression.

"Oh, no reason." Blazepelt murmured. Thunder looked up.

"Sun's rising, guys. We'd better go." Everyone nodded. Snowfoot and Blazepelt padded through the leaves to RiverClan. Snowfoot turned to Blazepelt.

"Why were you looking at the Thunderpath?" she asked. Blazepelt shrugged. "I don't really know." she lied. The truth was, Blazepelt was planning to find those monsters, so she could see what they were like. As Snowfoot and Blazepelt crept into camp, Blazepelt pricked her ears.

"I hear something," she whispered to Snowfoot. Sure enough, as they went over to the warrior den to sneak in, a grey tabby pelt blocked them.

Blazepelt winced and looked up, knowing exactly what she would see.

"Well?" asked Raincloud, her tail lashing.

"Care to tell me where you've been all these nights?"
