I would like to thank my reviewers for the last chapter, Purple Eyed Cat, Halfpelt, Saf Dawnheart, and Rashed.

Chapter Thirteen: Battle

Dreamcloud was stunned. He... loves me? She thought to herself. Windshadow was now in combat with a Shadowclan warrior, and she thought to herself.

"Do I love him?" She murmured.

Yes.

Yes.

YES.

She did.

Sprinting out on the battlefield, she got to his side.

"We'll have to look for Blackstar," She panted.

He gave a quick nod, and Dreamcloud promised herself that she would tell him her feelings as soon as possible. She turned her head and saw Firestar battling with Blackstar.

"Wait!" She called. Both toms halted.

"This is not your battle, Firestar," Windshadow growled, staring at his father.

"It's time for prophecies to unfold," Dreamcloud whispered.

Firestar padded up to his granddaughter and pressed his pelt against hers. "Be careful," He meowed.

"I will."

And the battle raged on. Blackstar lept at Windshadow, but the white tom was too fleet on his feet, and was able to swipe his claws over his father's face. Blackstar yowled with rage and hate, as he sank his teeth into his son's shoulder.

"No!" Dreamcloud cried as she lept on the black and white tom's back. Her claws raked across him...

Spottedleaf wished she could be down there. Cats would soon be flooding into Starclan if this didn't stop soon. Windshadow...

Wait...

"Bring them up here!" She ordered. Four cats were standing in the clearing. Leafpool, Littlecloud, Barkface(a/n: Sorry, it was MUDFUR at the ceremony...) and Mothwing.

"What are we doing here? Where is here?" Mothwing spat.

"Told you there was a Starclan," Leafpool purred smugly. Then, she grew serious.

"Why are we here, Spottedleaf?"

"Because," Spottedleaf meowed, "You are the medicine cats. You are the ones who must help Starclan's Chosen."

"What do you mean?" Littlecloud asked.

"Sun and Snow..." Spottedleaf murmured, "This is just the beginning of their destines."

"Just the beginning?" Leafpool echoed, "You mean, after Blackstar-"

"Yes. There is more. They are the Chosen. And they must be helped."

Blackstar rolled over and slashed his claws into his son's shoulder, not really caring. Whatever happened, he needed Windshadow dead. He caught the eyes of a warrior, Rippedclaw, one of his allies.

"Do it!" He snarled, jumping off of Windshadow and towards Dreamcloud. They were under a ledge, and a bolder was hanging over them. A bolder that Rippedclaw was pushing.

Windshadow looked up and saw the bolder about to fall. And he saw that Dreamcloud was right under it, thanks to Blackstar shoving her there.

"Dreamcloud!" He yowled, and raced toward her with the speed of Starclan, pushing the she-cat out of the way just in time.

But it was too late for him.

"Windshadow!"

Darkness.

Leafpool looked desperately around for Dreamcloud and Windshadow. She then saw Dreamcloud, wailing beside the body of a white cat.

Wait. The body of a white cat.

A bolder was near the body...

Blackstar was watching in the background.

"Please don't be gone," Dreamcloud moaned, nosing him. "Windshadow..."

The cat was still and limp. Leafpool padded over and looked him over. No...

"Dreamcloud," She whispered, "I'm-I'm sorry. Windshadow is dead."

"No!" Dreamcloud cried, "He can't be dead!" She began to desperately lick his face, trying to revive him. "He can't..." She whispered.

Blackstar was simply watching, a cold look on his face. The job was halfway done. All he had to do now was kill the she-cat, and that wouldn't be hard...

"Starclan!" Leafpool hissed, "Why did you let this happen? You said that he was needed, that I could help! You let one of your Chosen die, you caused my kin pain, this is all you FAULT!"

"Leafpool. Dreamcloud."

The battle was suddenly halted. It was like everything was frozen. Everything but Leafpool and Dreamcloud.

And Bluestar.

"Starclan has not abandoned you," She murmured, "Trust me, a way will be found."

"Why have you done this to me?" Dreamcloud yowled.

"We didn't." Bluestar stated, "Windshadow may be dead... but things aren't always what they seem..."

And the battle went on.

R and R! Btw, tell me what you think will happen NOW.
