Author's Note: So, I bought Bramblestar's Storm yesterday, and I saw uh... things that strongly oppose to both Fallenstar's Fate and Autumn's Awakening. So for now, I can just safely say that Fallenstar is in another universe, and caused a butterfly effect through the Clans.

Does that work? Of course it does.

Fallenstar tried to get her son out of the warriors den, only to see that he was depressed about something. She even watched in sympathy as Plumpaw tried to get him out for a patrol with Oakfur and herself, only to have her son snap at her.

"He isn't coming out," Said Plumpaw unfortunately.

Fallenstar smiled reassuringly, "Then let's just go by ourselves. I want to see your fighting skills."

Plumpaw kept a poker face as she said calmly, "I think I learned a lot from all my mentors' different fighting styles." She blinked and added, "It's disappointing two of them had to die."

Fallenstar looked over at Oakfur. It was very shaming that both Ivytail and Kinkfur had to die. Fallenstar set her paw on her apprentice's back, "If any bad luck comes my way, I'll have lives to spare."

Plumpaw looked like she was about to respond, but then she shut her mouth. She looked down at her paws then nodded. The small trio of cats headed out into the forest. Fallenstar beamed as Owlkit ran up to Plumpaw and asked in an excited voice, "Do you promise to teach me any new moves when you get back?"

Plumpaw nodded without a word. Then Owlkit bursted out into bouncing as she cried out happily, "Oh my gosh, yes! Thank you so much, Plumpaw! You're such a great friend."

The trio eventually headed out into the forest, tails waving impatiently and eyes scouring ahead of the often used tracks. Then Fallenstar charged over the log and skidded into the mossy clearing with Oakfur and Plumpaw racing after her. The cats both panted and she grinned. She was glad that she still took those morning jogs.

Then Fallenstar waved her tail across the clearing, "Plumpaw, I want you to attack me right now."

Plumpaw's eyes got wide, but her delayed reaction only made Fallenstar chuckle. Without warning, she turned around and pounced on top of her apprentice, quickly pinning down her shoulders and baring her teeth in a smile.

Suddenly, a look of pain shot her.

It looked all too familiar. For a brief second, the eyes gleamed a charming, hypnotizing yellow. Fallenstar gasped as Plumpaw smiled darkly and threw her off with such a great strength. Fallenstar grunted and Oakfur stood back.

Plumpaw shook her head rapidly and suddenly began to pant. She crouched down and muttered in a scared voice, "N-No, get out of my head." She looked up at her, "Fallenstar, what just happened?"

Fallenstar knew those eyes. Those eyes haunted her too often. In almost all dreams of these eyes, they were paired with a widely smiling mouth holding a dark brown bloody ear and her vision going red.

Those yellow eyes was the cold, calculating gaze of Ratscar. Fallenstar narrowed her eyes and hissed to Oakfur, "Get back to the camp right now. I need to have a little chat with my apprentice."

Oakfur's eyes got wide but he nodded obediently as he sprinted off to the camp. Fallenstar began to circle Plumpaw. Suddenly she asked, "Who was that?"

"Who was what?" Asked Plumpaw tilting her head. Yet her tail was twitching and a drip of sweat trickled down her head.

"You're hiding something from me." Fallenstar concluded. "Is it a voice? Is some cat trying to control you?"

Plumpaw ducked her head. "I'm sworn to secrecy."

Fallenstar narrowed her eyes. "Then tonight I'll take a little visit to the Dark Forest."

The she-cat blinked open her eyes to the landscape of StarClan. She has decided to take a trip to moonpool by herself, unwilling to let Littlecloud know what's going on.

Then he'll really think I've lost it.

So Fallenstar began to tore away at the silver forest. Bright blue butterflies flitted past her face. She even had the nerve to shove past a StarClan cat. She continued to ran, her green eyes narrowed and determined to find out what is truly haunting her apprentice.

Still sprinting without a single trace of being tired, she finally came across a huge misty wall. Past that wall was the place of eternal torment and hatred.

Looking around the forest, she hissed, "Come on out, Ratscar." Then she leaped across the wall, mist scraping across her fur as if it were claws. She gasped when her paws landed solidly onto the earth. Fallenstar looked around the forest and walked on with caution.

"Damn," she said glancing at a tree with the skeleton of a cat draped across, "This place is seriously messed up."

"Fallenstar!"

The she-cat turned her head to face a dark ginger tabby tom with blue eyes standing next to a dark grey Persian with orange eyes. Fallenstar rolled her eyes, "Hello, O great and powerful dead cats of StarClan who think they could control the earth. What are you here to tell me a lesson about this time?"

Yellowfang lashed her tail. "Just tell me why a mortal cat like you came across the Dark Forest."

Fallenstar replied simply, "I'm searching for Ratscar."

Flametail's eyes looked urgent, "Well, now really isn't the time for you to be searching for him. We've set up StarClan patrols to make sure the surviving cats stay in check. Maybe even hopefully convert them to see the errors of their ways and let them join StarClan."

"How noble," commented Fallenstar, "but you obviously aren't keeping them in well enough check because Ratscar somehow got out to possess my apprentice."

Yellowfang snorted, "You got it wrong. Ratscar has confessed that Tigerstar has manipulated him well enough to wriggle into his head. Ratscar was poisoned from the Dark Forest. In truth, he really cared for you like a mentor to an apprentice." She shook her paw and turned away, "Ratscar got into StarClan. He doesn't have any hate left to fuel him to get back to the waking world."

Fallenstar perked her single ear in surprise, "I guess that makes sense. But if it isn't Ratscar, then who got into my apprentice's head?"

Flametail and Yellowfang looked at each other. Then Flametail said, "I haven't seen Hawkheart in a long time. He has been awful quiet a lot in StarClan before he disappeared."

Fallenstar figured that StarClan would know about her daughter's crazy experiment on Twigpaw and Hawkheart. But she kept her lips sealed, hoping against hope that Fawndapple won't get a free train ticket to cat hell.

Yellowfang shook her head, "he has grown up with a lot of hate, but not enough to fuel itself into a possession."

The leader she-cat sighed and suddenly felt a rumble, signaling she's about to wake up. She glanced down at her paws to see that they were starting to fade away. "I'll look a little further into it." She said as her voice began to trail off, "Goodbye, Yellowfang and Flametail. Until the next time I sleep next to moonpool, my Clan will be cared for."

"W-Wait!" Cried out Flametail, "You need to get to your Clan quickly before more are injured."

As Fallenstar tilted her head in confusion, she woke up next to the trickling water. She heaved out a breath and stood up on wobbly legs. The dewy morning air filtered into her nose and she began to trot down the pathway. Birds chirped loudly in the trees.

Maybe I should hold Plumpaw's assessment tonight. She though happily, She has been training for a long time now. Then she began to calculate all the time since Duckpaw and Plumpaw have been born. Then she nodded, That's right. About sixteen or so months. So it's definitely about time. And Stoatleap's kits are very close to becoming apprentices. I might as well make them apprentices during the warrior ceremony and get two birds in one stone.

She trotted on quickly through the ThunderClan territory, hoping that it wasn't time for them to send out patrols yet.

She crossed the scent line and sprinted through the ShadowClan territory, eager to get back to her Clan. But then a sickening scent invaded her nostrils. She gasped and stopped for a moment. It was the stench of foxes.

Fallenstar narrowed her eyes and ran on through the woods. A squeal erupted and she ran even faster until she bursted onto the camp; splattered with blood.

Fallenstar ground her teeth together as she spotted a fox head poked into the nursery and a horrified scream.

Stoatleap grabbed the fox's hind legs as another one came charging right at her with Flamebranch clawing apart its back. Fallenstar stood her ground, remembering her very first fight with a fox; as well as killing it.

Fallenstar yowled and unsheathed her claws and lashed them out at the fox's eyes. It yelped in pain and growled at her before slashed out a claw toward her.

Fallenstar quickly ducked it and chomped down onto its muzzle. She scored down her claws down the creature's chest, blood blooming in the wake of destruction. Flamebranch cried out a battle shout and dug his claws in so deep when Fallenstar was aware of the painful empathy of the fox.

Thanks a lot, Yellowfang.

But a sudden pain shot her in the head. She shouted in pain and flopped down onto the ground, seeing an even larger fox standing above her, it's jaws dripping with fresh blood and clumps of light grey kit fur.

Then it all came back to her. This fox was part of the pack that Fallenstar killed the single fox in as an apprentice, and this fox has grown a lot since then. Now it has come back for revenge for murdering a family member.

"No, Jaykit!" Shouted Mistfall in horror. Fallenstar tilted her head to see Mistfall ferociously fighting a female fox that had Jaykit in its jaws.

Stoatleap spat a few choice words at it as suddenly the fox nearly smirked and bashed her huge black paw directly down on Fallenstar's skull. Then it all went black, the single scream of Jaykit's name echoing in her mind.
