Blazepelt silently nudged Snowfoot.
"It's moonhigh!" she whispered, prodding her sleeping sister again.
"Go away." mumbled Snowfoot, shifting. "Snowfoot, get up you lazy furball!" hissed Blazepelt. Snowfoot groaned but shoved herself up and left the den. Blazepelt rushed after her. Snowfoot was already at their secret exit near the elders' den, looking excited.
"Come on, Blazepelt!" she whispered. Together, they raced to the island.
"Look, the pine tree!" Snowfoot gasped. The tree connecting the island to the Clans' territories loomed in front of them.
"Let's go!" meowed Blazepelt, leaping on the tree and bolting to the other side. Snowfoot followed. They gasped. A WindClan warrior, Penguinfur, was staring at them, wide eyed.
"P-Penguinfur, what are you doing here?" stammered Snowfoot. The sisters knew him from Gatherings.
"I got a message from Tallstar." he meowed, his tail lashing slightly. "What are you doing here?"
Blazepelt stepped forward. "We were sent by Leopardstar in a dream!" she clawed the ground as she spoke. Suddenly she heard something. "Is that a howl?" she asked, her eyes wide as full moons.
Peguinfur looked uncomfortable. "Yeah, it's a howl. There's, uh, three other-" He paused, and instead of finishing he glanced behind him. The bush behind him rustled, and suddenly three wolves leaped out of it.
Snowfoot yelped and scrambled up a tree, and Blazepelt stood frozen. One wolf was pure white, one was gray and black with yellow eyes, and the last wolf, the biggest, was gray and white. He had an eye patch and a spiked collar, but his face was friendly. The white wolf seemed very serious, and the gray and black one had a mischievous gleam in his eyes.
"Blazepelt, Snowfoot, I want you guys to meet Whitefang," Penguinfur nodded to the white wolf. "Thunder," The biggest wolf gave a smile. "And Lunar." The gray and black wolf waved his tail in greeting.
Blazepelt found her voice. "I-I'm Blazepelt and t-that's Snowfoot." she stammered, her body trembling. Snowfoot's eyes gleamed from the branches of the tree.
Whitefang rolled his eyes. "We don't eat cats, if that's what you think. Trust me, if we ate cats, you would have known by now."
Thunder grinned and gave a laugh. "Nice to meet you, Blazepelt." Blazepelt gave a slow smile.
"Snowfoot, get down here! They're friendly!" she called, tail twitching. Snowfoot very slowly scrambled down the tree, her body shaking.
Lunar chuckled. "We're harmless to you three, I assure you." he laughed, his sharp teeth glittering. Whitefang grunted. Snowfoot actually grinned, all fear forgotten.
Penguinfur kept looking at the sky as though he expected StarClan themselves to come down. "What are you looking for?" asked Blazepelt, sitting down next to him.
"Tallstar said there would be a 'sign in the stars' when I got here. I'm looking for it." he explained, his green eyes reflecting the moon. Blazepelt looked at the sky, and suddenly her heart skipped a beat.
"There's a shape of a cat's head! Right there!" she gasped. Penguinfur leaped up and stared at the sky. "Guys! She's right! Look!" he called the others over. Thunder was the first to arrive. His eyes widened.
"Winter was right." he murmured. "StarClan is in danger."
Snowfoot gasped. "Well Leopardstar was sure lacking details!" she spat. "All she told us was a prophecy! I'm sure everyone heard that, right?!" Everyone stopped and stared at her.
"Prophecy? What prophecy?" asked Whitefang. Snowfoot stared at them. "Are you kidding me?!" she shrieked. Blazepelt sighed. Snowfoot had these outbursts once a season, and they never ended well.
"Look, how about I tell them the prophecy and you take a dip in the lake and cool off." she glared at her sister.
Snowfoot leaped into the water. "I didn't mean it literally." sighed Blazepelt. She turned to her new friends. "Here's the prophecy." she took a deep breath.
"The sky will fall, the night will stay, the cats and wolves won't see the day. The stars and planets will align, the sun and moon will collide." she would never forget those words.
The island was silent except for Snowfoot splashing out of the water, but eventually that noise was gone.
"It sounds like StarClan really is in danger." Lunar said, breaking the eerie silence surrounding the island. Penguinfur's eyes were wide.
"I know a cat who might be able to tell us a few things." he meowed, trembling. He turned, probably to go back to his territory to get the cat.
"Wait! What's their name?" asked Blazepelt. Penguinfur paused. "His name," he meowed without turning around. He took a deep breath and turned to face Blazepelt. "His name is Skyfall."
Wow! That was exciting! Just thought I'd let everyone know, Skyfall is CHBNewRomeHogwartsBerk's warrior. Anyway, if you have any ideas or suggestions, please tell me! Thanks, and keep reading! :)
