The dark green bush ruffles as cats emerged from it silently creeping into the darkness. A large cat walks beside a old ragged tom cat leading the group of cats. " Redstar how far are we away from Flyclan camp?" Ask the broad shoulder cat. "We are close Sunpelt hold your whiskers. You are very eager aren't you?" Said Redstar stopping abruptly.
"What is it Redstar?" Ask a young beautiful she-cat coming out of the shadow. Redstar just stares not answering the she-cats question as if she never had asked. All of a sudden a dozen of cats leap from the trees and start to attack. "It's a ambush!" Redstar yowls as he pins down a huge Tom with scars covering him.
The cats fight viciously until a yowl of sadness comes over the battle. As the cats all stand they form into a story to see what horror has happen. There in the middle of the circle Redstar is lying down while blood is slowly trickling down his neck.
Sunpelt yowls of sadness as Redstar says his finally words " Sunpelt... Sunstar you will make a great leader" then he is gone. "He hunts with Starclan now" Sunpelt says as he and one other cat picks up Redstar's lifeless body and heads back to camp in sadness.
The other cats yowl in victory of the won battle but one cat. The cats who has Redstar's blood on his claw glistening in the moonlight.
Finally, the battle-worn cats enter the camp with face of sadness. The rest of clan members are confused on what's happening until the see Sunpelt carries in Redstar rugged mud-pelted body into the clan. Shrieks are heard all over the camp once they realized their beloved leader is dead. The clan surround the dead leader mourning him. As they mourn him the sky brights up as a unknown light shoots through the sky. The clan is in chaos once it happens.
Finally, Sunpelt and two other warriors calms down the clan. "What does that mean Yellowwing?"Blue dawn
Says still shocked by what just happened. The entire clan stares at Yellowwing hopping that she can interpret the meaning of it. "I... I don't know" says Yellowwing softly not trying to show her own fear.
"Then what good are you!"Blackfoot says as he lunges at Yellowwing pinning down. Yellowwing struggles to get free but Blackfoot grip is too tight. The clan watches in horror as they watching what's happening before their eyes.
"Enough!"growls Sunpelt as he pulls Blackfoot of Yellowwing " We must not fight during hard times.". Blackfoot growls and slinks back into the shadows of the other warriors and Yellowwing scrambled back into the medicine den still peeking out of the den.
"Let all cats old enough to hide in shadows come to the high rock for a clan meeting" Sunpelt yowls to the clan. The cats slowly surround the high rock ready to listen to what Sunpelt has to say. "Tomorrow I will go to the cave of moon so I can receive my nine lives" says Sunpelt looking over the clan." Also I must also appoint a deputy, I say these words before Starclan so that the spirits of our warrior ancestors may hear and approve of my choice. The new deputy of Nightclan is Reedwhisker." says Sunpelt proud of his choice." Thank you Sunpelt I am honor" says. Reedwhisker as he nods toward Sunpelt.
The clan all goes back to their dens to rest for the rest of the night they have left. Sunpelt slowly rest in the leaders den when Yellowwing appears in front of him. "What do you want Yellowwing?" He ask drowsly. " I know what the thing in the sky means now" she says shaking. Sunpelt jumps up wanting to hear what it means. " It the light means something bright will cut the clans in half and four clan will become two and at the end 3 clans will remain" she says sadly. "So your telling me you of the clans will fall." He says wanting to know more. "Yes it does" she says quietly. "Well we must pray to Starclan and hopes its not us" he says "Yes may Starclan be ever in our favor ."Yellowwing says as her and Sunpelt watches the sky.
