Dreampaw opened her eyes at the first light of dawn. She gave a huge yawn and padded out of the apprentice den. A single Starclan warrior shone in Silverpelt. What does this dream mean? she pleaded, for she'd had it last night. As if in reply, The star winked out and ws replacedby the sun. Sunrise. There was a rustling in the camp entrance As Soulcatcher headed out with Flickerpaw.They must have been on an early border patrol. "Maybe i'll go hunting." Dreampaw though aloud. The golden she-cat got to her paws and padded out into the forest.

Flexing her claws, Dreampaw watched the mouse in the undergrowth. I can't miss this one! she thought. Just then, a strange feeling came over her. There was a rustle in the bracken. She turned and saw nothing, then a twig snapped. Spinning around, she caught sight of a dappled paw fyig foreward, then darkness. With a gasp, Dreampaw snapped out of the dream. What had happened?

Shrugging, Dreampaw padded deeper into the forest. She had to show the clan she wasn't worthless! There was a rustle in the undergrowth and Dreampaw looked, hoping for a mouse. Nothing was there. Reluctantly, she turned back around. She saw a dappled paw fly toward her. Just like my dream! Dreampaw thought with dread before all was black.

Dreampaw woke up with a strugle. "She's awake!" An excited voice purred. "Shhh!" another warned. "We don't know where she's from." Where am I? Dreampaw wondered. She looked up at the cats before her. There were for of them; two she-cats and two toms. A tortiseshell she-cat stepped forward. "Sorry about that." She mewed, dipping her head. "But I couldn't let you-" She was cut off as a dark tabby tom flicked his tail over her mouth. "Quiet!" he hissed. He turned to her, and she gasped. Instead of the usual tabby marks, he had a dimond shape on his head. "Something is troubling you." he mewed. Dreampaw was confused. "How can you Tell?" she asked.

The tom sighed. "We might as well start with our names. I'm Flash, and this is Flame, Jinx, and Silver." he pointed to A ginger tom, The tortiseshell she-cat, and a silver tabby in turn. "The truth is." Flsh mewed. "We all have powers."
