Sorry for the long wait, I got lazy, Fan Fiction wasn't letting me upload the chapter and a few bad things happened in these two weeks, making it nearly impossible for me to get in my 'writing mode.' *sigh* now that I'm done making excuses for why I haven't updated, I'm going to keep ranting at you guys. Please review if you read, and if you already have reviewed, thank you! You get a Lionheart plushie!
Okay, ranting done, now read the chapter, and don't forget to review!

~Chapter 9~

Moon opened his eyes in shock.

This was StarClan!

Two cats stood before him, two pairs of blue eyes watching him. The first was a light brown tabby she-cat. The cat standing next to her was a dark gray tom cat.

"Do you know why you are here?" the she-cat meowed.

Sheepishly, Moon ducked his head, "No."

"We're going to get right to the point, we have a prophecy for you," the tom meowed.

"Prophecy?" echoed Moon quietly to himself.

"By the way," the tom continued, "my name is Rainwhisker, and this," Rainshisker flicked his tail towards the tabby, "is Honeyfern."

Moon dipped his white head acknowledging both cats, "Hi, Honeyfern, Rainwhisker."

After a moment of silence, Moon meowed, "Now tell me about this prophecy of yours."

Closing her blue eyes, Honeyfern quietly spoke, "When darkness falls an eclipse rises to let the light shine again."

Moon's pelt prickled in fear and excitement, "What does this mean?" he meowed, pricking his ears up.

"It will all be revealed in time." Meowed Honeyfern.

Rainwhisker spoke up, "You are one cat StarClan has chosen to save the Clans."

"One cat? Does that mean there are others?" Moon asked.

Rainwhisker's eyes showed nothing but mystery, but he meowed, "your suspicions are correct, and the cat is closer than you think."

"You both have StarClan behind you," Honeyfern encouraged. Rainwhisker and Honeyfern dipped their heads.

Suddenly Moon was jolted and a torrent of water swept him away. He squeezed his eyes shut in fear, then…nothing. Moon opened one sky blue eye, expecting to be in a river or something, but instead the Moonstone stood before him. Confusion flooded him, but he shrugged it off. This was StarClan you were talking about.

*~*~*~*~*

Moon looked over to find the flame orange body of Sunpaw next to him, nose pressed to the Moonstone. He stood up, brushing Sunpaw's soft fur with his tail. She looked so peaceful. At his touch Sunpaw woke to Moon standing next to her.

"What did you dream?" Moon asked in curiosity.

"I'm not allowed to tell you what happened," she glanced at him, "but there is one thing I can tell you." Sunpaw closed her eyes, "When darkness falls, an eclipse rises to let the light shine again."

Moon froze as Sunpaw recited the prophecy, which was the same prophecy he had received.

Sunpaw continued, "Lionheart and Whitestorm, two of ThunderClan's warriors' seasons ago, told me I will not be alone. Do you think there may be another cat with this prophecy thrust upon them?" (A/N: sorry, I had to write it that way…: D)

Moon sighed, he needed to tell her. "I got the same prophecy," he meowed, his voice shaking; "Rainwhisker and Honeyfern, two newer members of StarClan from ThunderClan told me the other cat was closer than I might think."

~*~*~*~*~

Moon and Sunpaw's eyes met for a moment and Sunpaw wondered, was Moon the other cat?

Looking into Sunpaw's ice-blue eyes, Moon wondered, was she the other?

*~*~*~*~*

Moon broke the silence, "let's get back to Ravenpaw and Barley."

Side by side Moon and Sunpaw turned, and padded to the tunnel they had come through leaving the dimming Moonstone behind. The path felt cold and wet, as if this place had never felt warmth, seen sunlight. It probably hadn't.

After a while of walking, the light finally shone from the end of the tunnel. (A/N: Ya, I know, pretty cheesy, but oh well)

They could now see where they were walking and broke in to a soft lope. One glance at each other, and the started racing. Going at nearly top speed Moon and Sunpaw burst out of the tunnel and into the morning light. A tree loomed ahead so they had to stop. Gasping for breath, they looked at each other, then at the mix of black and white fur over by another tree.

Ravenpaw and Barley were curled up together in an attempt to stay warm during the night. Padding quietly over, Moon could just barley hear her whisper, "let's surprise them."

"Okay," Moon replied, mischief dancing in his eyes.

They crouched and crept up quieter than a mouse, their paws made no sound on the dew-soaked soft grass. Sunpaw stopped a mouse length away from Ravenpaw and motioned with her tail for Moon to do the same with Barley. Sunpaw flicked her tail as a signal to pounce and they did. Ravenpaw and Barley were immediately jolted awake.

Flipping over, Ravenpaw immediately recognized Sunpaw, and playfully batted her away.

Moon on the other hand was not so lucky.

Sunpaw and Ravenpaw watched in amusement as Barley was jolted awake, screeching and bowled Moon over, pinning him to the ground before realizing it was just the silver-white Moon. Being a little more awake, Barley recognized Moon and let him go, a purr of laughter rasping in his throat. For a few moments the four cats sat on the grass, as laughter blazed in their eyes.

Ravenpaw broke the silence, "did you see StarClan?"

"Yes," Moon and Sunpaw replied in unison. "StarClan gave me a prophecy," Sunpaw started off, shuffling her paw of the wet grass, and Moon quickly put in, "they gave me the same prophecy, 'When darkness falls an eclipse rises to let the light shine again.'" Moon put in, "and Rainwhisker and Honeyfern, the two cats that came to me, told me I was supposed to go find the Clans." Sunpaw piped in, "They told me that as well," she paused "only, Lionheart and Whitestorm came to me."

Ravenpaw was quiet.

Barley spoke up, since Ravenpaw seemed tongue-tied, "I guess he (Ravenpaw) just thought we wouldn't be leaving as soon as this."

"We? As in you two want to come with us?" Moon meowed in surprise.

"Yes, Ravenpaw wanted to go to the Clans from the start and I'm too old to hang around here myself." Barley meowed.

This is looking better and better, thought Sunpaw.

"And Ravenpaw knows the basic way, or at least where they live and the safest path to get there," continued Barley.

The black cat broke from his silence confirming what Barley had said, "I know where they went and the safest way to go. But first, let's go back to the barn so you two can get some sleep, then we can figure this out later today."

"Okay," Moon agreed, suddenly realizing how tired he was. Moon glanced at Sunpaw just as she opened her jaws in a big yawn. (A/N: Kitties can yawn; I have two cats, so I know)

*~*~*~*~*

Sunpaw was staggering on her paws by the time they finally returned to the warmth of the barn. She sleepily dragged herself to her bed in the straw. Sleep took her over the moment she laid her head on her paws.

***

Moon sleepily wandered over to his own nest and sat down. Near his bed there was a window and Moon looked outside to the lightening sky, I'm part of a prophecy? Me? Those thoughts swirled around in his head as he lowered himself down on the staw bed. Closing his eyes, darkness consumed him and he was swept away into a dreamless starry sleep.
*~*~*~*~*

Jayfeather couldn't sleep, he was too curious about this prophecy. What could it mean, 'an eclipse will rise?' Purdy had told ThunderClan that what happened during the great battle was an eclipse. So was another eclipse going to happen?

Jayfeather got up and shook himself to get rid of the scraps of bedding he could feel on his pelt. He could tell it was sometime after Moonhigh, but still padded out of his den, heading for the camp entrance. By scent, Jayfeather could tell it was Hazeltail who was on guard tonight, and she meowed a greeting as Jayfeather walked out of camp.

He started towards the lake; it was always so calm down there so it was a great place to think. Feeling the cooler breeze wafting off the lake almost made him sleepy. "No," Jayfeather meowed out loud to himself, "I didn't come out here to sleep."

The breeze coming off the lake changed direction so it was now coming over the moors of WindClan. Jayfeather could now feel the lake pebble beneath his paws and sat down. Smelling the WindClan scent reminded him of the prey stealing. Last gathering, WindClan had blamed both RiverClan and ThunderClan for stealing their prey, the only reason they hadn't blamed ShadowClan was because they shared no border. As far as Jayfeather could now tell, no ThunderClan cat had been stealing prey, but he could not be sure. However, the problem with WindClan's claims was that ThunderClan had also found remains of prey littering the border. RiverClan had reported a similar situation.

It must be some other cat outside the Clans, Jayfeather thought. Would this 'eclipse' stop the prey stealing somehow? Pondering this, Jayfeather heard, through the night silence, the sound of cats walking through the forest. It must be the dawn patrol, had he really been out here that long? I need to get back to camp, then, thought Jayfeather.

As fast as he could, Jayfeather streaked though the forest as soundlessly as possible and quietly made his way back into camp. Trying to look nonchalant Jayfeather walked over to his den, he knew he should at least try and get some sleep. Who knew what the day would bring? Reaching his nest, Jayfeather curled up and closed his eyes, willing sleep to come.
