Hi everyone! It's been a year since I've written! Wow! I think I just got off track because of homework last year, then just stopped. So I'll continue this story and work on another story at the same time. For this one, I'll try to get in the habit of one chapter a week at least, so yeah! So this chapter might sound a little different from the last one cause its been awhile! I keep rereading the story and the chapters I wrote sound so cringey! OMG! Ok, so anyway, here's the story! Enjoy :D (Sorry long intro, just saw the traffic thing, and it says this story has gotten 606 VIEWS! Just noticed that :DDDD)

Moonstripe sent Willowrun ahead to notify Rainstar that Silvermask was being escorted to Streamclan camp. The rest of the patrol walked in silence towards the entrance. As they padded into the camp, Moonstripe saw eyes peering out, trying to catch a glimpse of the strange cat entering the camp. Silvermask walked through camp narrowing her eyes and lifting her hackles. They walked around the waterfall and entered Rainstar's was sitting at the back of her den and motioned with her tail for Moonstripe and Silvermask to stay in the den. "Moonstripe, where did you find her?"

"She was hiding in the reeds near the edge of our territory." Moonstripe explained.

Rainstar shifted her eyes toward Silvermask."Silvermask. Why were you in our territory?" Silvermask quickly explained.

"Hmm… Blazesplash, come in here!" Rainstar called.

"What is it?" Blazesplash asked.

Rainstar stood up"I need you to find a place in camp to keep Silvermask. Moonstripe, I need you to go to Mountainclan camp and find out why she was exiled. Take a few cats with you. I need to go talk to someone…" Moonstripe nodded and trotted outside the den to find a few cats. She asked around and was able to gather a small patrol. Moonstripe, Songbird, Blazesplash, Birchfur, and Leopardspot assembled, then headed out the entrance, toward Mountainclan camp.

Mountainclan's territory was a dense pine forest, making it hard to navigate. Leopardspot was originally Mountainclan, so Moonstripe let her lead. They arrived in Mountainclan camp after meandering through the crowded undergrowth. Foxfeather trotted up to them, her hackles lifted. "Why are you here?! You should've waited for a patrol"

Moonstripe glanced at her, "It was too urgent. Plus, Leopardspot knows the way. We need to speak to Bloodstar right away"

"...fine." Foxfeather beckoned for them to follow her. Kits were peeking out the nursery, "Oh no! Have they come to drown us in the river and eat us?"

"Quiet!" One of the queens hissed. The patrol stopped outside Bloodstar's den. He walked out and motioned for them to step in. Leopardspot stopped and tapped Moonstripe. "Hey, um… would it be alright if I visit my father and sister while we're here?"

"Sure, as long as Foxfeather approves of it." Moonstripe smiled. Leopard spot smiled hopefully at Foxfeather.

"Ugh, fine. I have to stay with you though." Foxfeather looked at Leopardspot resentfully as they walked toward two cats sharing prey. Meanwhile, the rest of the patrol walked into Bloodstar's den. "What can I do for you?" He asked, his eyes narrowing.

"We wanted to notify you that we have found Silvermask on the outskirts of our territory. We are not sure what to do with her, considering she is most likely one of the three cats from the prophecy." Songbird explained. Bloodstar's eyes widened, "You mustn't leave her alone! About a quarter moon ago, she killed Sparrowtalon and Bluesong. We know not of her motives. We can only assume the worst. Keep her under close guard, she's too unpredictable." Moonstripe's eyes were wide with terror, "We have to go." She sprinted out of the den, and without stopping, shouted, "Leopardspot, let's go!" Leopardspot waved her tail at her kin and sprinted after the rest of the patrol.

"What did Bloodstar say?" She asked, panting.

"We'll tell you when we get back to camp." Moonstripe said with a grim expression.

They crossed back into Streamclan territory without a word. As they approached within eyesight of the camp, Moonstripe noticed the hidden entrance to camp was, well not so hidden. The gorse and moss the arched around a mossy boulder were shredded, and the boulder had been rolled out of the way. When Moonstripe looked inside, she was horrified. Streamclan had been brutally attacked.
