AN: So, this chapter is written a little differently, and the next chapter will be, too. It's so that you can get a little more info on... Well, I'll just shut up now.

Also, I would just like to point out that when I first started this story the review average was five or six. Now the average is two at best. Reviews mean a lot to me, and so I would really appreciate it if you left one. I don't want to seem like I'm forcing you to leave a review, just... If there's something you want to say, say it!

I'm sorry if that bothered you and made it seem as though I'm trying to force you to do something. I'm not, I just like having feedback to make this story the best it can be.

DISCLAIMER: I doubt a small fangirl would be a part of the Erin Hunter team.

oOo

"Argh, my old bones shouldn't have to make this walk," Mallowwhisker grumbled.

"According to you, your 'old bones' shouldn't have to do anything!" Mossbreeze teased.

Mallowwhisker cracked a grin. "I guess so, but you'll feel the same way when you're old and frail like me."

"I'll never be old and frail! And although I can't argue with the fact that you're old, I can protest that you're not frail!" Mossbreeze retorted. "It looks like the others are waiting for us," she gestured with her tail towards Acornfoot, Pebbleleaf and Brookpaw's silhouettes waiting for them just ahead of ShadowClan and WindClan's Medicine Cats.

"Wait...who's that standing next to Acornfoot?" Mallowwhisker creaked.

As the light shifted, it was obvious that the usually-pretty brown-and-gray she-cat was having a rough time. Her fur was matted and looked as though it had been a while since it was last washed, and the bright green eyes that so often had gleamed with excitement had become dull and glazed. At the ThunderClan Medicine Cat's shoulder was a small black cat, barely out of kithood. He looked nervous - anxious, even - to be standing there, his head at the shoulder of a cat who looked as though she could snap at any moment.

Pebbleleaf's pale gray fur glowed in the moonlight, making him look as though he was a cat of StarClan. He was chatting amiably with his apprentice, a light ginger she-cat by the name of Brookpaw. Brookpaw had been a hard-working apprentice for just over five moons and was almost ready to have her full name.

"Who's this?" Mossbreeze gestured with her tail to the cat standing with Acornfoot as she and Mallowwhisker clambered towards the other Medicine Cats.

"This is Darkpaw," Acornfoot replied. Darkpaw nodded, looking as though one simple movement had cost him a lot of bravery. Acornfoot turned to him. "How about you go talk with Brookpaw over there? You can learn a lot from cats of other Clans."

The two apprentices walked over to a patch of grass and sat down, Brookpaw awkwardly trying to start a conversation with the unresponsive Darkpaw.l

"StarClan sent me another vision," Acornfoot started in a low voice. "I'm not allowed to tell any cat what they told me - not even you all - but you'll be visited soon, and told the same message as me."

Mossbreeze's eyes widened as she realized: "Isn't Darkpaw part of the prophecy?"

"Yes, I believe so," Acornfoot answered. "What are the names of the prophecy members in your Clans, again?"

"Cloudpaw. He's a strange little fellow..." Pebbleleaf replied immediately.

"Lizardpaw, I believe, although Flowerpaw could be ShadowClan's representative. However, Lizardpaw's golden eyes seem more 'odd' than Flowerpaw's yellow-green ones." Mallowwhisker meowed indifferently.

"Well...Ravenpaw at first, but another cat with golden eyes washed up on our area of the lake, claiming to be from 'SkyClan." Mossbreeze mewed.

"What's that?" Mallowwhisker asked.

"No idea," was Mossbreeze's answer.

"And we are not telling them that they are part of a prophecy, am I correct?" Pebbleleaf inquired.

"Correct," Mallowwhisker meowed.

"I believe so," Acornfoot replied.

"Ummm..." Mossbreeze muttered, looking down at her paws. "I may or may not have told two of them?"

"Oh, dear."

oOo

I haven't read the third book onward of the 'Vision of Shadows' arc, and I don't plan on reading any, so some of the things I write may not be canon-compliant. I love Warriors and all, but I just think it's gone on for way too long now. It should've ended when they won the battle against the Dark Forest, in my opinion.

I'm so excited for Halloween! It's my favourite holiday; I love it so much! Are you dressing up? I am! I'm going as Annabeth Chase. She's a book character from Rick Riordan's 'Percy Jackson' series.

Review, please!
