I apologize profusely for not updating this fanfic! I have been spending most of my computer time on Wattpad writing a different story for a different fandom hehe. I'm quite glad to see that there are some people who still read this story! Thanks to all the support that all of you wonderful people have given me! Now here is the long awaited Part 2!

Blackpaw padded a few behind Pebblesong, her tail whipping with suspicion. Her fur fluffed up as she heard a blood-curdling yowl tear through the air to her right. Pebblesong chuckled and stopped at a clearing.

"Looks like Frostwing is at it again." She said in faint amusement. Blackpaw flattened her ears. "What did you mean by training? I'm already getting trained back in Thunderclan." Blackpaw pointed out quietly, trying to block the yowls. Pebblesong sighed and turned around.

"The reason why is so that you will know how to fight with different styles and methods. Remember, you have a prophecy in your paws. You will need all the help you can get." Pebblesong said simply, stretching leisurely. Blackpaw frowned in suspicion.

"Wait… why are you helping me?" She asked slowly, her hackles raised. Pebblesong let out a snort. "Not all cats in the Dark Forest are purely evil, no matter what you think." She looked upward, as if she was able to see the stars through the pure blackness up in the sky. "I am afraid I have to cut this meeting much shorter than expected." Pebblesong smiled and touched her nose to Blackpaw's shoulder. "See you again really soon."

Blackpaw felt an odd tingling in her front paws, and before she knew it, she found herself in an empty void, split between light and darkness. As she continued to look, the light and darkness began to fight, pushing back and forth, until they blurred and turned into a fuzzy gray. 'What is this….' Blackpaw wondered. The fuzzy gray color started to tremble and shake. Blackpaw frowned as suddenly a black blob erupted from it and stayed towards the bottom of the gray.

The fuzzy grey and black color then began to tremble again and took an oddly familiar form of a cat. The silhouette moved directly in front of her and began to blur and clear up slowly, until Blackpaw found herself looking into two dark blue moons.

Wait… that's me… is it? Blackpaw frowned and looked at the cat more closely. That definitely was her, but at the same time, it didn't. The image had light gray fur, jet black markings on the ear tips, paws, and tail tip. The same odd Starclan and Dark Forest markings were displayed on the front paws. Yet this image looked older, and more mature. She looked into the eyes of her "reflection" and gasped. The eyes were dull, as if….. they weren't able to see. Just as Blackpaw gasped, the image pounced onto her with claws stretched out, and she was pulled into a dark nothingness.

Blackpaw awoke as she felt something hit her face. She yelped in surprise and stood, only to fall back down once again. 'What...what is going on…' she thought in annoyance, struggling to get up once more.

"Continue to do that and you'll only kill yourself." A voice said above her, and she looked up to see a strange animal looking down at her.

"W-Who are you? And what did you do?" Blackpaw asked hoarsely. The animal chuckled.

"I am a friend of the clan cats, don't worry. As for what I did, I squeezed water out of some moss to wake you up." It said, sitting down. Blackpaw studied it, not being able to recognize what it was.

"Wait… are you a badger?" Blackpaw asked just as she noticed the white stripe on its forehead.

"Ah yes, I am a badger. My name is Midnight." She said, her black eyes looking at Blackpaw. "And you are Blackpaw, daughter of Bramblestar and Squirrelflight."

Blackpaw flinched. "How did you know that?" She meowed in disbelief. Midnight chuckled yet again.

"You see, I knew your father and mother many moons ago. If I am correct, your mother was an apprentice just like you when they came to see me." Midnight explained. Blackpaw tilted her head in confusion.

"You mean that your Midnight, the badger who lived at the sun place?" Blackpaw asked, searching her memory of the elder's many tales.

"Yes, the very same one. Now it is your turn to be part of such a great prophecy. Though I assume that you do not approve of this prophecy." Midnight stood and padded over to the mouth of what seemed to be a den. Blackpaw looked around in surprise, not realizing where they were.

"Uhm… yea I guess. I'm kind of struggling with the prophecy. By the way, where exactly am I?" Blackpaw muttered. Midnight looked back at her.

"We are in an abandoned den. I saw you passed out at the edge of your territory. You must have been sleep-walking." Midnight smiled slightly, and Blackpaw could see the rows of teeth in her mouth.

"Sleep- walking?" Blackpaw asked, but Midnight ignored her.

"I was the one who confirmed that the prophecy is true. I remember the looks that Firestar gave me." Midnight whispered. Blackpaw gasped.

"Firestar? Isn't he up in Starclan?" Blackpaw pulled herself up to a sitting position. Midnight nodded.

"I am able to meet up in Starclan when I am needed. But that isn't important. What's important right now is how you will be fairing with those two toms coming this way." Midnight said, moving aside to reveal two toms running towards them, with Bramblestar and Squirrelflight right behind them.

"Blackpaw! There you are!" The two toms said in unison, coming to a halt at the mouth of the den. Moonpaw and Sunpaw looked at her with worry written all over their faces.

"I thought you were kidnapped!" Sunpaw said, before turning and seeing Midnight in the corner. He growled and unsheathed his claws.

"Sunpaw, stand down." Bramblestar said, slowing down his pace as he approached them. He took a peek inside the den and his amber eyes widened. "Midnight..?"

Squirrelflight peeked in as well and smiled as she also recognized the badger.

"Ah Bramblestar, Squirrelflight, it is nice to see you after so long. You must have been worried sick for Blackpaw." Midnight said calmly. "If you don't mind, I would like to come back to your camp. We need to discuss some very important matters."
