The Danger Lurking
Notes: I am a girl, so FireStar is a girl, SandStorm is therefore a tom. -Shrugs- Making it interesting... On with the story!
Chapter One: Shadow in the Bushes
I sat silently, rain pouring down my pelt. Looking upward silently, I noticed a shadow coming out slowly from behind the bush. I stood staring at the spot I was the shadow and waited, without blinking. A crackling sound echoed around the clearing, then all went quiet.
I began creeping towards it. A voice sounded from nearby. I looked around, bewildered. Again I heard a voice.
"Who's there?" nothing, was my reply.
"Show yourselves!" I yowled, but still nothing.
I spun around as fast as I could toward camp. I stopped, scooped up a dead rabbit from earlier hunting, then continued running. I reached camp to find everything destroyed... The food dropped from my jaws and onto the floor. A cat came up behind me without my noticing...

Chapter 2: Rebuilding the Camp
I spun around to see a calico she-cat standing behind me...
"What happened? Why didn't anyone come and get me!" I hissed.
"Sorry... We couldn't find you!" she meowed fretfully.
"You didn't answer the first part."
"T-the s-storm, FireStar, the w-wind--" she stuttered, "it... destroyed everything..."
I turned away and lept onto High Rock.
"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join beneat High Rock for a clan meeting!" I yowled across the devastated camp.
Cats filed out the fallen dens and slowly began filling up the space in front of High Rock.
"All of you can help re-build the camp. We will need: Brambles, twigs, logs, moss, and rocks. Hurry now, apprentices go with your mentors."
"Yes, FireStar!" Rang the clan in unison. I jumped down silently,
"SquirrelFlight and LeafPool, you both go together."

Chapter 3: WindClan Decides to Help
A big, bulky tom from WindClan walked into camp.
"What is it?" I asked.
"WindClan wants to know if you would like some help on rebuilding."
"...Oh! That's very kind, thank you." I dipped my head.
"We will start immediatly, what do you need?"
"Sticks, logs, moss bedding, herbs, anything really." TallStar and the rest of WindClan filed into the camp. TallStar stood around to observe the work done by camp.
The camp was completely rebuilt by moonrise that night. I jumped nimbly onto High Rock.
"I think WindClan deserves our sincerest thanks."
TallStar looked up at me with glimmering eyes filled with friendship.
"Also, Swiftpaw, Blackpaw and Ripplepaw please come foward."
They looked up at me, bewildered.
"You have all worked very hard. I commend you as warriors in your turns. Do you promise to uphold the warrior code and protect and defend the Clan, even at the cost of your lives?"
"I do." They said strongly.
