Sorry this took long, I was sick...:(

Shineclan

'Starclan, help us!'

She screeched, her fur felt like it was ripped a part, she was falling through death. And worst of all, she hadn't lived to see her and Morningstar's kits.

When she hit the ground, the pained didn't even greet her, was she already dead?

Rushstar gasped as her eyes suddenly flew open, but she saw nothing, and she knew that she was alone in her den. Or was she?

She sensed the presence of another cat in the den, she slowly crouched down, flicked her tail and hissed.

The cat stopped dead, wherever it was, Rushstar didn't know. "Crabpaw, s'up little buddy?"

Her favourite, first, and only apprentice, Crabpaw, stalked up to her with a big smile on his face.

"Nothing, I just thought that you'd like to know that it's dawn and Morningfrost has arranged all the patrols."

Rushstar smirked, even though she was leader, she acted like she was really 10 moons old…

"Then why aren't you out on a patrol?"

A bit taken a back from the bitterness, Crabpaw stuttered and shuffled his paws nervously. He was almost 14 moons old, he would be a warrior soon!

"Because… Morningfrost said go check with Rushstar…"

Rushstar jumped up and flicked her tail on the young cat's shoulder playfully. "Hmm, I should make you a warrior soon…"

Crabpaw smiled at his mentor, maybe the youngest of the clan leaders, but Rushstar got the job done.

"But first, I need you to go join a hunting patrol."

Crabpaw understood that she wanted to be along as he nodded his head and dashed away to find Morningfrost.

Rushstar stared at the entrance to where Crabpaw had once been, deep in thought, she wondered what had happened to the other leaders since that frightful moon long ago.

"Pantherpaw, Mistypaw! Elders' den and Nursery, now please!"

The pale yellow and white she-cat yowled at the two eldest apprentices. "Yes, Morningfrost!"

The two smoky black felines jumped up and took off towards the Elders' den. The deputy sighed, this job was difficult yes, but she was used to it.

"Scarletfire! Softpaw's already down at the training area waiting with Rapidpaw and Twisttail."

The black and ginger she-cat stared at the deputy with confused fire-blue eyes. Suddenly she "woke up" and ran out of the camp towards the training area to find her apprentice and her brother.

Nettlepaw and Crabpaw came up to Morningfrost after everyone had left. "Rushstar said to go on a hunting patrol."

The deputy nodded her head in thought, herself, Nettlepaw, Crabpaw, and… Silversun!

"Silversun! Are you busy?"

The silver tabby she-cat padded over with a warm smile on her face, her apprentice, Dovepaw beside her. "No, I was looking for you, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, can you join us on a hunting patrol?"

Dovepaw's furry grey-blue ears pricked up as he smiled. "Yes, please?"

Silversun smiled at her he was excited to go on a patrol with his friends. "Of course, and whoever catches the biggest piece of prey, wins!"

The three apprentices pricked up and pelted out of the Shineclan camp to find the biggest piece of fresh kill.

Rushstar smiled from where she cat on top of a ledge overlooking the camp, Streampaw was beside her. Timberclaw was sick so the silky silver tabby she-cat was spending the day with her leader.

"Streampaw, how have you been?"

Rushstar asked as she saw two black feline-shapes pelt from the Nursery to the Medicine cat den.

"Hmm, well, you?"

Rushstar spotted an unfamiliar feline-shape that just entered the camp. "Good."

She got up and padded down the ledges towards the unsure-looking cat. "Can I help you?"

The cat was Copperstripe from Forestclan, Silverstar's brother! As Streampaw bounded up beside Rushstar, another tom raced into the camp frantically. It was Shadowstorm, Copperstripe's best friend! "Help! Please!"

Rushstar straightened up in front of the two rival-clan toms. "What seems to be the problem?"

Panting hard, Shadowstorm turned to her and bowed his head respectfully. "Rushstar, both our medicine cat and queen have gone missing, we need your help."

Rushstar was taken aback, why would a medicine cat and an expecting queen leave their clan?

"Please, Silverstar is asking all the clans, but we need your speed and strategy to find Reedblossom and Sootpelt!"

Copperstripe begged, Shadowstorm frantically looked around the camp for any familiar friends he knew but all he saw were; Elders, Kits, 3 Apprentices, Queens, Medicine cats & Rushstar.

The leader took a moment to think and finally threw her head back and yowled as loud as she could, suddenly, another yowl answered back.

"Thundersky…"

Streampaw whispered as she could hear other yowls of Shineclan cats answering Rushstar's one yowl. The grey-blue she-cat yowled once again, and looked at the camp.

"I have assembled my warriors. Cats of Shineclan, we must find Reedblossom and Sootpelt! No matter the cost, we shall and will help Forestclan!"

The remaining cats around her yowled in agreement. Streampaw was lucky to grow up in a clan that was loyal and brave.

"Thank-you, Forestclan is in your debt."

Shadowstorm whispered,

"As we are in yours."

Rushstar nodded back.

"Lead the way."

The two toms straightened up, and at the next heart-beat quickly dashed out into the forest towards Forestclan's Territory, behind them, a streaming river of Shineclan cats.

Streampaw felt every hair on her pelt rise, they were going to Forestclan, they would find these cats! Streampaw ran beside Rushstar as Shineclan cats appeared out of the bushes every now and then like shining stars.

"Starclan, by my life, if you've killed these cats… I'll never forgive you!"

To Be Continued…

So, yeah, I'm sorry that this took a while I haven't been feeling well for the past couple of days but i'll be okay... I think

Anyway, Forestclan is the next chapter, don't worry they find Reedblossom and Sootpelt. I'll hopefully have the next chapter up soon. I'm still accepting OCs and I'll love to know what you think of the story!
