The crisp night air tickled Moonflower's nose. The crescent moon pierced through the heavy black sky, glowing like a half evil eye. By the trickling stream they stood, her and her sister. Sunstorm finally appeared sheepishly bringing another tom.
Moonflower gave him a questioning look. "It's not my fault he wanted to come." Sunstorm mumbled under his breath. "This is Badgerstrength." He was a black and white tom, you could tell why he was named Badgestrength, he had powerful muscles that clearly shone under his pelt.
Grassheart giggled, "So are we going now?" Moonflower nodded, "Yes, best leave when the night is new." All four padded away into the shadows, Moonflower quickly reviewing Longtail's direction. "So once we reach those clump of trees..."
Her eyes stared hard into the blackness. "Wait I can hardly see anything." Of course she said that quietly, Moonflower didn't want them to worry. "Oh...um." She swung her head around desperatley, "Why can't I see anything?"
She cried aloud. Badgerstrength stared straight at her, "Can't you smell that fog?" He was right. There was a fog lingering above their heads. The damp, thick air started to spread further and further. Moonflower had no idea where they were going.
"Great." Grassheart groaned. Moonflower couldn't help but smile, "Don't worry, we'll be fine. But for now, huddle closer, we don't wanna get lost." They closed in the gap and continued on. Every once in a while Sunstorm sniffed the air hopefully.
Moonflower squinted into the musty gray air but failed to see anything until..."Ouch!" Her head bonked onto the hard trunk of a tall tree. She let its scent wash into her mouth, "Yes! A clump of willow trees!" Grassheart bounded forward into the fog,
"Grassheart come back!" Moonflower called into the air. She bolted after her sister, stumbling over rocks and slipping on the bumpy slope. She came to the back of her sister who was hissing at a hawk that kept swooping down in an attemp to catch her.
"Badgerstrength! Sunstorm come up!" A scrabbling of rocks were heard. Sunstorm quickly licked Moonflower's silver pelt, "Are you okay?" She nodded and purred into his fur, his comforting scent came upon her and let her muscles relax,
"Ahem." Moonflower looked up to see Badgerstrength staring at them. They blushed and concentrated on the great bird. "Ignore it and keep climbing." She said motioning with her tailtip upwards. Digging her claws into the loose rock was hard.

Many times Moonflower thought she would slip but that time did not come. They climbed into a cave and heaved themselves inside. Grassheart panted and was about to land on her side onto the hard rock floor until Baderstrength caught her.
Grassheart got all flustered as his breath pushed against her ear. He slid gently away so that she would fall lightly and not hurt herself. Moonflower grinned and announced to Sunstorm, "Let's go hunting, you two, try to find some moss so we can sleep."
And Moonflower left with her loved one, leaving them together. "Come on." She tried to smell some mice or squirrels or anything, but the plain scent of rocks and stones were all she could scent. Sunstorm crouched into a hunter's postion steadily.
He pounced on a mouse and his mate, swiftly ending their pain, but suddenly he found himself hanging onto a small rock with one paw, his mouth full with prey. Moonflower gasped and tried to get him back up. It was no use.
Sunstorm's eyes were glazed with terror as he heard a soft crumbling sound. She grabbed the mice from his jaws and put them away so he could speak, "I love you Moonflower." She snapped back, "No don't say that you're not going to die."
Moonflower fastened her teeth into the scruff of his neck and tried to haul him over, but the weight she was dragging was too heavy. She got him half way up but her paws failed on her and she was slipping. She mumbled this loud enough for him to hear,
"We die together." Moonflower's Ice-blue eyes shone with pure love. "This is the end." Without warning another two cats seized her scruff and heaved her over along with Sunstorm. Sunstorm mewed happily, "Oh thank you!"
Moonflower took a look at her saviours. One cat, a she-cat, was black with a golden splotch on her forehad and a silvery gold tail. The other was a light brown tabby tom with white paws. "Moon!" The black one mewed happily,
"I've missed you so!" Moonflower stared at her with bewilderment, "How do you know my name?" The strange she-cat murmured quietly, "I knew you would forget me." Then she got back to her bouncy attitude, "I'm Night where the stars glow and this is Hare of the swift paws."
"You are from the Tribe of Rushing Water right?" Moonflower asked. "That is none of your concern--" "Oh come on Hare! Don't be so rude." The tabby seemed uncertain but consented and twined his tail around Night's."
"Could we come with you? If we can let me bring my sister and another cat." Night smiled, "Of course!" Moonflower brought them into the cave where Badgerstrength and Grassheart lay on soft moss, arguing loudly,
"Well you just ran off into the mist letting us all--Oh, hi Sunstorm." Moonflower glanced at her sister, "Come on, we've found the Tribe of Rushing Water!"Grassheart leaped to her paws, "I'm coming!" They padded away with Night and Hare guiding them.
"This is it!" They came to a little waterfall. Moonflower winced at the loud booming noise that roared within her ears. She reluctantly stepped behind it and entered a large cavern. The noise was stiffled now and she felt a wave of calmness wash over her senses.
"I feel...I feel as if I've been here before..." Then a little memory flashed in Moonflower's mind. She was lying in a bed of moss and feathers comfortably nudging her mother's belly. "That's right Moon, you're almost there." A kind voice whispered.
A sweet smelling scent filled her mind with pleasure. Moonflower snapped back to reality, "H-Have I really been here before?" Night seemed to have wanted to say something, but she quickly shut her mouth as she saw a her mother glare at her.
"I am Brook where the little fish swim." Moonflower dipped her head slightly in a greeting, it felt as if she had known Brook all her life. She quickly told them why she was here and how she suspected that 'Night' was the black she-cat.
Moonflower finished with this, "If I may, I would like to take her with me to my home." Brook looked worried, "I can't have my daughters--I mean, daughter go out and do something dangerous." The healer of the Tribe added, "You may stay with us until we see the wishes of the Tribe of Endless Hunting."
Moonflower mewed a thank-you and settled in a moss and feather nest with her companions. Brook padded over and gave her a desperate glance, "Can we talk? Alone?" The gold-tinged warrior nodded, "I'll be back soon you guys."
They went to a quiet corner where no one could hear them, "Yes?" Moonflower asked a little uneasy. Brook heaved a sigh and began, "I have been hiding this from you all your life, I am hoping you know that you were adopted."
Moonflower's eyes widend in shock, "How do you know?" Somehow she knew what Brook was going to say next, "I am your true mother, Moon where clouds part. And Night is your sister, I was hoping the Tribe of Endless Hunting would bring you back and I see they did."
"Why? Why did you abandon me?" Brook stared straight into Moonflower's eyes, "It was frobidden for me to love Stormfur, so our ancestors told me to give you to the 'Clans' and said that a clan called Star had a great destiny for you."
OK! Ending wowowowow! Now you know who her real mother is. A bit shocking eh? Weeeelll the part where I wrote the explanations wasn't so great. I forgot the healer's name(boohoo)In case you do not know I made my author's note(chapter 7)into the REAL chapter 7. (THIS WAS RUSHED PLEASE FORGIVE MEEE)
