Helping
Storm opened his eyes. He was back in his time, in the eerie quiet. He got up and shook his head. On the plus side, he could see again. There was a hole nearby, leading into some sort of cave. I'm glad I didn't fall in there. He thought.
As he was looking into the hole a cat came over. "Hello Storm."
Storm looked up, but didn't turn around. He knew that voice. He turned around, "Hello Jayfeather. I feel like we just saw each other."
Jayfeather shook his head. "You might have just seen me. But I've been dead for a few generations. I haven't seen you in a long time."
Storm blinked. "Huh?"
"Time travel." Jayfeather waved his paw. "It's confusing."
Storm decided it was time to change the subject. There were still so many things he didn't understand. "So, do you know why I was there now?" he asked.
Jayfeather nodded. "I was right. You were there to kill Bloodstar. But that's not all you came to do." Storm sat down and waited for him to continue. "You are going to become a leader of one of the four new clans." Storm's jaw dropped. Before he could ask what the heck he was talking about, Jayfeather kept going. "Starclan has wanted the clans to return you see. So we each picked a leader, there are 3 others. And Thunderclan decided, the best way to prepare you for running a clan, was to send you back to when the clans still existed."
As confusing as this was, Storm had to admit, it made sense. He slowly nodded. "So, when will we get our nine lives?"
"Well, two of the leaders are caught up in a battle, but after that will probably be a good time."
Strom blinked. "Wait, there's a battle going on?" Jayfeather nodded. "Well, I have to help."
He started walking. Jayfeather stepped in front of him. "Wait."
"I will help." Storm said.
Jayfeather rolled his eyes. "Let's start with one obvious problem. Do you have a clue where this battle is?"
"Uh . . . no."
"And you're just one cat. So you'll help alright. But you won't be helping alone." And then the Starclan cats began appearing.
He knew some of them. There was Bramblestar, and Squirrelflight, and Lionblaze, and Cinderheart. And the two apprentices. "Hollypaw! Thornpaw!" he said.
Hollypaw let out an amused purr. "I'm Hollyberry now." She corrected him.
"And I'm Thornpelt."
Storm smiled and nodded. "Thank you all, for choosing me as leader. And helping now."
Bramblestar nodded. "We can't let the rouges win this battle. Besides, you saved us from Bloodstar."
"Bloodstar!" someone hissed. It was someone Storm didn't know. And when he turned around, he saw it definitely wasn't a Starclan cat.
"Ah, looks like Moon's showed up. She's one of the other soon to be leaders." Jayfeather explained to Storm.
Moon blinked. "Another?" she turned to Storm. "You're going to be one too?"
He nodded. "I'm Storm. I'm going to help the other two leaders fight the rouges. And Starclan's come with. You coming too?"
Moon nodded. "Just hold on a little. I have to get my brother." She dashed off. She came back with a black cat. "Now, we can go." So they ran to join the battle.
As they got closer Jayfeather got between the two leaders. "You should probably know, the other two leaders are Lighting and Fallen."
"Right." Storm nodded. He looked at Moon. "We should probably look for those two." Moon nodded.
(There's no real way to add to this chapter except to put the battle on it. And I think the battle is fairly long, so not a good idea.)
