Because the blood red cat has come to lead them to their fate

A few hours later, Poppypaw sat next to Darkpaw on the hard ground a way away from Moonstones, telling him quietly about the prophecy so the guards wouldn't hear.

After she had finished, they sat in silence for a while, until Poppypaw asked, "Why did you suddenly remember I was your sister? At the gathering it seemed like you didn't know me at all."

Darkpaw spoke quietly. "I didn't. I'd been in Shadowclan so long, I started to forget. But then you bumped into me, and I thought there was something familiar about you. Then I had a dream tonight from StarClan. They told me to go to Moonstones to rescue my sister. Then I remembered you, and I came out as fast as I could.

He smiled ruefully. "Not that it helped much. Now we're both trapped. Why were you at moonstones anyway?"

Poppypaw told him about Dreampaw's mysterious dream, and Leafpelt's insistence that Poppypaw come with them to the moonstones.

"There's still one thing I don't understand," Said Darkpaw. "When I got to moonstones, that BloodClan warrior said something like 'that's the one we're looking for!' What did he mean?"

"I've been wondering about that too," said Poppypaw, "And I think that they must somehow know about the prophecy, because they didn't kill either one of us, they just took us here."

They probably would have kept talking about it for a while longer, but two bloodclan warriors came and told them, in loud gruff voices, to follow them.

The BloodClan warriors lead the two apprentices to a large rock where a large cat (probably the leader) stood.

The warriors pushed them up the rock to stand behind the other cat.

"All hail Claw, leader of BloodClan!" One of them called. Other cats approached the rock, settling down in front of it, and Poppypaw was reminded of how BloodClan was once part of the four forest clans.

The large cat, Claw, spoke in a loud voice. "Friends," he said, "We have waited for this day for generations. Ever since the day the clans drove us out of our forest, we have waited for this day! Scrouge, May his legacy last forever, was a key part in this revenge. When Tigerstar approached him with a plan to take over the forest, he thought it was a sign that we would finally rule the forest, as our great ruler of old, Brightstar tried to do, but like Brightstar, he failed. However, we have learned from past mistakes. This time we will not fail! This time, we have not one, but two of the cats we have been promised! Cats of Bloodclan! Today we will take our revenge!

Poppypaw was horrified. Would she really have to join with BloodClan to fight her own clan? She would rather die than do that, but something told her she wasn't going to be given that choice.

Suddenly, she heard Leafstar's voice clearly in her mind.

'There are other ways of fighting then with claws…'

And she knew clearly what she must do.

Duh duh duh! What will she do! You'll never know… At least until I write the next chapter!
