Okay guys second to last chapter.I know, I know it's sad but, you have The Blind Leader to look forward to! This one might be long but, I need to set up the next chapter. I don't own Warriors, Erin Hunter does.

It had been half a moon since Adderstreak disowned Darkpaw, Smokewater and Peppernose have moved into the nursery. Fallenbreeze has taken deputy temporarily. Darkpaw and Batpaw have been practicing for when they become leader and deputy.

"Batpaw what do you think your warrior name will be?" Darkpaw asked her friend one day as they were sharing a thrush. Leaf-fall was here indeed, bringing with it cold winds and smaller amounts of prey. Batpaw thought about it for a moment.

"Batwing or Batclaw." She decided. "What about you?" Darkpaw heard her take another bite.

"Darkgaze." She mewed confidently.

"That's a good one." Batpaw told her friend. Darkpaw nodded, she had spent nights adding her name to suffixes she thought was good. She finally landed on Darkgaze and knew that was the one. The two finished the thrush and shared tongues. Darkpaw heard Ravenstream step into camp. The warrior had a distinct step to her, light, but firm. Batpaw shared this with her mother. The warrior came over to them.

"Hello youngins." She purred, sitting. Darkpaw and Batpaw drew apart.

"Hi Ravenstream." Darkpaw mewed,, swinging her head to the warrior. Batpaw greeted her mother. "Did you catch anything today Ravenstream?" Darkpaw asked, though she already knew the answer.

"Of course I did! You know I did Darkpaw." Ravenstream scuffed. Darkpaw smirked at the older cat. "Batpaw where is your sister?" She turned to her real daughter.

"Training with Waterpaw and Shinepaw." Darkpaw's friend informed her mother.

"Why aren't you two training?" Ravenstream asked, Darkpaw could feel her worried gaze fall upon her. Darkpaw shrugged.

"We went on patrol." Batpaw told her mother.

"Alright." Ravenstream sighed. "Why don't you see if the elder's den needs cleaning?" She suggested.

"Okay." Darkpaw mewed, standing. She flicked her tail to Ravenstream and went over to Whisperpath's den. She sniffed. Snowmark was in. "Snowmark you got any moss?" Darkpaw asked as they stepped in. The younger medicine cat padded over to them.

"Yup. It's by the far wall." She told them. Darkpaw nodded and sniffed. She smelled the nice, rich earthy scent of the moss. She followed her nose and reached out her paw, landing on some spongy moss. Batpaw came over and tore the moss since, Darkpaw isn't very food with cutting moss. The two rolled up to moss and carried it out. They went across the camp to the bush that led to the elder's den. Past the bush was a small clearing with a bramble structure that was the den itself.

"We brought bedding!" Batpaw called as they came into the clearing. The three elder's were laying in the clearing, soaking up the last warm rays.

"Oh good, Berryclaw has been complaining about her bed aaalll day!" Silverstreak purred. Berryclaw scuffed at that. "It's true, ask Twistedfur." Silverstreak challenged.

"Don't drag me into this!" A craggy voice called from the den. Darkpaw and Batpaw went into the den and ripped out all the moss and laid out new moss.

"Thankya youngins." Berryclaw purred as the two apprentices padded out.

Darkpaw was blinded by the brightness of the world. She knew she was dreaming but, she wished this was real. She could finally see trees. What Ravenstream told her all those moons ago was true, trees were beautiful. She laid on her back to take in the sky. It was so blue she couldn't stand it.

"Are you enjoying yourself?" A voice asked behind her. The light tabby sprang up, claws out. In front of her was grey tabby. "My name is Swirlstripe, the medicine cat before Whisperpath. I am here to warn you Darkpaw. Heed this now." Swirlstripe told the young tabby. Darkpaw nodded. "The Adder will learn the truth. The Adder will strike the Raven, the Fog will will evaporate. Only the Bat and the Dark can bring peace to the Dawn." Swirlstripe mewed, her eyes flashing white. "Do you understand Darkpaw?" She asked. Darkpaw nodded. "Good." Swirlstripe disappeared, leaving Darkpaw to savor her sight.

The next morning, Darkpaw went to Whisperpath. "Darkpaw, what can I do for you?" Asked the older medicine cat. So, Darkpaw told her about Swirlstripe. "I see. I know what she is talking about, Darkpaw. I should let Ravenstream tell you since, it is her business. But, I will tell you." The medicine cat sat. "As you know, each cat has a Chosen Mate. One cat, decided she loved another cat. This cat was from BattleClan. They met in secret. One day, the DawnClan cat realized she was going to have kits. The Battleclan cat was killed in his Clan for his crimes. These cats were Ravenstream and Ripclaw." Whisperpath told Darkpaw. The apprentice could feel her eyes widened.

"So, Batpaw and Fogpaw are half-Clan?" She asked quietly.

"Yes." Whisperpath sighed. "Don't tell Batpaw or Fogpaw, Ravenstream wishes to tell them." The medicine cat added quickly. Darkpaw nodded. Little did they know, Adderstreak was standing just outside the den.

DUHN DUHN DUUUUUUUUHHHHH! Crazy! So, next chapter will be the last :'(. Random fact time! Technically, all of the cats are half-Clan. Since DawnClan and DuskClan are two different clans.
