When The Lake Was Blue

by Reddawnofthekoolkids

*There was no chance she would go at least a paw deep. This water was filthy with the stench, and color of warrior blood.* Dawnscar is the deputy of Shadowclan when all chaos brakes loose between the clans. Her apprentice, Aspenpaw, has almost never seen the lake in its full glory and is waiting for her time to come. (Rated T for um, blood, violence...)

1. Prologue

Prologue

Starry cats surrounded a large pool of water that sparkled under the moonlight. Two cats seemed to stick out of the group leading two sides.

"We can't keep going on like this, letting our clans suffer." Hissed a russet she-cat. "The leaders are going insane!"

Murmurs of the cats around her followed. The she-cat's ear twitched waiting for a response. Her amber eyes burned into the pelt of the tom across from her.

"Robinstar, there is nothing we can do." The tom's voice rumbled. His dark fur bristling with annoyance. He had known the she-cat since they were warriors, growing up to be leaders together.

A yelp of surprise came from a group of cats sitting on the edge of the starry trees. "Actually, there is." A new cat had arrived, a calico. "All we need to do is get rid of them." Her curled tail was held high.

"Get rid of who?" Robinstar glared at the calico.

"The leaders." The calico shrugged. Yowls of protest rung in the clearing. Yet, the she-cat's smug expression didn't falter as she moved closer to the pool.

Robinstar glanced at the dark-furred tom. This cat was not a cat to mess with. The she-cat had been Wind Clan's medicine cat for many seasons, but she had an ego that was built from it.

"Morningsun, doing that would mean confusion for every clan. All the cats will be affected." He narrowed his eyes at the former medicine cat.

Almost all cats agreed, some shouting insults at the Windclan cat.

"She has a point." Robinstar flicked her ears again. "What if we, bringing them away from the clans, and teach them somehow."

"It will still lead to chaos." The tom sighed with lost hope, his tail twitching in irritation.

"What else will you do Stormstar? What can you do?" Morningsun purred slyly.

He hesitated. "Robinstar, do you think this is wise?" The russet she-cat looked out among the other cats of Starclan.

"The only way of knowing is by trying it." She replied quietly, suddenly uncertain of her choice.

Stormstar took a deep breath, then looked up, "Cats of Starclan, do you agree with what Morningsun is proposing?"

I just patched up this prologue, and I've already started on the first chapter. This one's gonna be interesting. I've switched up the clans a bit, but I'm too lazy to finish it.

Have a wonderful day! -Red
