Chapter 2

Lionblaze padded out of the camp his head low. The warm Newleaf weather should have made him happy but not this season. The soft dirt and dead leaves scattered on the ground from Bareleaf. Lionblaze took off in a run. His large muscles flexed every time his large powerful paws hit the smooth ground. He was thinking about the battles that were close to come. The first battle he didn't even know was suppose to happen, Jayfeather had a dream from Starclan saying that four more clans existed in the world and they were coming for battle. The second was the battle he had been waiting for all his life, the battle against the Dark Forest. The Dark Forest was getting much stronger according to Ivypaw, the Thunderclan spy. Her mission was to train beside the Dark Forest and figure out when they will strike. That though made Lionblaze cringe. Ivypaw a getting beat up after every session with them, and it was getting worse every time. Lionblaze spotted that lake and started to slow. It was nightfall and a crescent moon hung in that sky reflecting off of Silverpelt. Lionblaze stopped at the foot of the shore. Light waves splashed at the feet, and the round pebbles were cold. Lionblaze look up to Silverpelt. They were there every night watching over them but they couldn't even begin to help them with theses new challenges to come. What he thought about next surprised him, he wanted Cinderheart. Cinderheart had been his friend since they were kits and now there best friends, up in till he told her his secret. He couldn't be wounded in battle and he though that Cinderheart would embrace that, but instead she was frightened and she fled. She knew it couldn't be possible for someone not to be injured but she remembered every battle she had seen him in and he had no wounds. The though of losing her made Lionblaze sad and angry. He had already lost Heathertail, his mother all together, he had no father for all he cared, and now the most important thing to him was scared of him. He missed Cinderheart, her sweet sent, her happy atmosphere, just being with her.

Lionblaze got up and made his way back to camp. His legs were tired and he knew that Firestar had some 'Big' news to tell tomorrow that he had been hiding for moons. As he walked back into camp it was already high moon. Berrynose was guarding camp and was startled by his arrival.

"You've been gone long enough" he said roughly his cream coloured fur look almost grey in the darkness.

"Ya I had to go do some thinking" Lionblaze replied as he walked over to the warriors den. Berrynose grumbled a reply but Lionblaze didn't get it. He curled up in his nest next to Hazeltail and fell into a heavy sleep.

Sunlight leaked it's way through the cracks in the apprentices den. Dovepaw opened her eyes to find the den with Ivypaw still in it. There was just her and Ivypaw as apprentices but Cherrykit and Molekit were growing up fast. Dovepaw stood up and stretched her legs. She could tell the camp was wide wake by now. She had hearing more powerful than Starclan. She could hear things that were skylenghts away. She turned around to look at Ivypaw. Her beautiful fur was stained with blood and there was a large cut above her eye. She was suddenly regretful. Her sister had to go to the Dark Forest and spy for them and all she does is get hurt. Dovepaw prodded Ivypaw very lightly to waked her up.

"Good morning" she said softly as Ivypaw's eyes started to open. Ivypaw rolled on her other side and grumbled loudly making Dovepaw giggle.

"You have to get up and wash your fur Ivypaw, theres blood all over it". That got Ivypaw's attention and she shot up.

"No one's seen me right?" Ivypaw asked frightened only Lionblaze, Jayfeather, and herself knew she was with the Dark Forest.

"No don't worry" Dovepaw whispered, "Let's take the back way out of the den" she added quickly. The two she-cats sprinted out of the back of the den and found there way to the small stream. Ivypaw jumped into the stream like a Riverclan warrior. Water drops were everywhere and splashed on Dovepaw.

"Hurry up" Dovepaw hissed her ears twitched. She could hear a patrol coming there way.

"Calm down" Ivypaw said blood rushing down her pelt. The silvery grey fur was drenched and tattered. Clumps of fur was missing in spots and scars were visible. Dovepaw instantly felt guilty. She was doing this to her sister. Dovepaw could hear the patrol rounding the corner just foxlenghts away from the stream.

"Let's go there almost here" Dovepaw hissed, Ivypaw leaped out of the water and sprinted back to the hallow. Dovepaw lead and looked back at Ivypaw. Her fur already looked dry and clean. As they entered the hallow. Firestar was in the middle of an announcement.

"Let's slip in and try not to be noticed" Ivypaw whispered. Her eyes filled with question. Why would Firestar start a meeting with out everyone there?

Dovepaw and Ivypaw sliped out and hide in behind a rock, but they began to notice that only the senior warriors were there.

"My fellow warriors" Firestar mewed, "Jayfeather has received a prophecy about new clans coming to the lake." This started an uproar upon the senior warriors. Dovepaw saw Dustpelt and Ferncloud eyes filled with question.

"What do you mean 'new clans'?" Sorreltail asked curiously. Brackenfur twisted her tail with his.

"There are four new clans coming to the lake" Firestar repeated. "And that's all we know" he added. He looked at Jayfeather who was sitting at the entrance of his den.

"That's all I know, Starclan is getting more and more arrogant when sending omens" Jayfeather said with annoyance. He flicked his tail and looked directly where Ivypaw and Dovepaw were hiding. The two she-cats ducked and prayed that Jayfeather didn't sense them.

"Now the reason why I called you here is to discuss about battle strategies, I have a feeling that there's going to be a battle soon" he said seriously. "Brambleclaw will organize the battle training sessions. There will be light training sessions for the elders, queens and medicine cats. That will be all" Firestar said as he jumped down the Highledge. As the crowed cleared Dovepaw and Ivypaw slowly snuck out behind there rock. The senior warriors were filling the clearing preparing for the patrols to come back. Lionblaze saw Dovepaw and Ivypaw slinking back into there den. Dovepaw hissed in frustration as he saw them.

"You two in the forest NOW!" he mewed loudly. The two she-cat padded into the forest behind the nursery. The golden tom looked at the two she-cats in angry.

"What all did you hear?" he asked sternly. His amber eyes filled with angry. The two sisters looked at each other with guilt.

"Well everything I think" Dovepaw said quietly. Her eyes drooping in shame.

"Where sorry we listened" Ivypaw said. "We didn't know it was for senior warriors only" she said in defence. "We had to go to the stream"

"What for?" Lionblaze asked.

"Well... Ivypaw had blood all over her from last night form the Dark Forest" Dovepaw blurted out. Lionblaze looked at her in shock. His amber eyes grew large.

"We better get Jayfeather and talk about this, this is getting serious." Lionblaze said.

"No need" said a gruff voice in the brambles. Jayfeather walked out slowly trying not to get his fur snagged on the brambles. His grey eyes flaring.

"Firestar didn't even the clan about the battle" he hissed. Lionblaze glared at him and hissed.

"Lionblaze there's no need to be mad at Jayfeather we know about the Dark Forest battle" Dovepaw mewed calmly. "But-"

"No there's another battle" Lionblaze interrupted. "Would you care to tell them Jayfeather?" The golden tom asked with frustration.

"You heard about the four clans coming to the lake right? or did you miss that part" he said sarcastically. Lionblaze glared at him again.

"Now's not the time for jokes Jayfeather" he growled

"Like I don't know that" the grey tom hissed in defence. "The four clans coming are coming for battle. They want our land and Starclan said that we must fight and merge clans in order to survive." Jayfeather said gravely. The two she-cats stared in disbelief.

"When will they be here?" Ivypaw asked suddenly. Her fur was beginning to stand.

"Two moons, although Firestar doesn't actually want us to prepare" Jayfeather muttered loudly.

"He is starting battle training" Dovepaw argued defending her leader.

"The warriors won't take it seriously, and the queens will refuse to do it" Jayfeather growled back at Dovepaw. "The clans deserve to know" he said calmer this time." The four cats sat for a few moments to process what has happened. Then Lionblaze sat up and shook his pelt.

"Well be better get back or the clan will miss us." He mewed softly. The two apprentices nodded there heads in agreement.

"One last thing before you leave" Jayfeather said. His eyes clouded over. "Starclan has told me the four new clans have The Three too, and some of us might not survive"

Well hoped you liked it :)
