Fire Star ran out of camp with Cinder Pelt at his tail. "So…" she said between husky breaths "you think he's the one?"

"If you're talking about the Prophecy… Then yes." Fire Star said solemnly. Cinder Pelt looked at him for a few moments and remembered….

.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*~*~.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.

"Cinder Pelt!"

"What is it Fire Star?"

"I have to talk to you."

"Can't it wait? I'm collecting-"

"It's urgent Cinder Pelt."

"O-oh o-okay ill be there in a sec."

Cinder Pelt padded after her leader and into the forest. He sat down and turned to her "I have received a message from Star Clan." Fire Star said, his eyes brimming with melancholy.

Cinder Pelt leaned forward "Well!" she cried, "Out with it!"

" The Four Clans will fight, and the forest will drench in blood,

the beasts from the sky will cleanse us,

the beasts from the earth will save us,

and the Clans will be destroyed.

The Four Clans will Divide and the Crow will Unite us as One"

Cinder Pelts eyes widened "But what do they mean?" she cried.

Fire Star sighed "Spotted Leaf didn't tell me any thing else." he said sadly. "But it warns us of a war! And who is the Crow?" Cinder Pelt asked.

"I honestly don't know," Fire Star said sadly "But we must keep our eyes open."

.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*~*~.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.

"So, this is an apprentice den?" I asked, looking over at a thicket and a large clump of moss that was overlapping a large rock. "Yep!" Leaf Paw said proudly. "This is Spider Paw" she said as she gestured to a black tom with a brown belly and amber eyes "Shrew Paw," she gestured to a small dark brown tom with earth colored eyes "and White Paw." she gestured to a pure white she-cat with green eyes. "Hello, nice to meet you" White paw said happily as she stepped forward and touched noses with me. "Welcome to Thunder Clan." Shrew Paw said timidly, "I hope you'll like it here!" Spider Paw said enthusiastically. I dipped my head, I wasn't used to cats being so friendly "Thanks." I said gruffly. "Who will be your mentor?" White Paw asked, "Mentor?" I asked. What the heck is that?

"The cat who will teach you to be a warrior silly!" White Paw said teasingly. I felt my pelt flush hot "O-oh yeah, a mentor, I know what that is." I lied, "I don't know who my mentor is going to be."

"Actually, that would be me."

We all spun around to see a ginger and white she-cat standing in the den entrance, my eyes widened. Half of her face was missing, revealing mangled, torn flesh and an empty red eye socket. Her right ear was completely ripped off and the right side of her face was ripped and scarred. "Are you Crow Paw?" she asked, her voice soft and sweet, like a bird taking flight, or a cold sweet rain or- "Well?" she asked again "Um, yeah I'm Crow Paw." I said.

She smiled "Great. Fire Star assigned me to be your mentor; we can start the afternoon training after Leaf Paw has showed you around." "Okay, sure." I said rapidly. She padded out of the den but before she left she turned around and said "by the way, my name's Bright Heart, see you later." I nodded and watched her leave. "Well, I think that was my cue." Leaf Paw said, "Let's go." I nodded and followed her out "bye guys!" she called over her shoulder; I didn't say anything just followed her quietly. I wasn't much for closeness; I enjoyed being stoic and being alone. "Well here's that whole camp," Leaf Paw said, "this big den is the Warriors den, the small one across it is the Elders den that's where retired Warriors go, and next to it is the Nursery. Queens raise there kittens there, and this," she said gesturing to a den next to The High Rock, right on the same cliff "is the Medicine cat den is, Medicine Cats heal injured and sick cats, and we speak with Star Clan at the Moon Pool." "What are Star Clan and a Moon Pool?" I asked. This cat is crazy… I thought to myself. "Star Clan is where the dead warriors go. They look down upon us and give us Medicine Cats prophecies and warnings. We can speak to our ancestors by drinking from the Moon Pool and falling asleep next to it." I was giving her a disbelieving, skeptic, "your insane" face. I shook my head "that can not be true. There is no way I believe that dead cats come to speak to warriors after they drink sacred water." Leaf Paw gave me a sad look, as if seeing a kit eating what it wasn't supposed to. I narrowed my eyes "if this Star Clan crud is so true prove it." I challenged. She narrowed her yes "Fine I will." she snapped, "meet me at the camp entrance tonight, and I will give you solid proof Star Clan warriors exist."

I narrowed her eyes "fine."

"Fine."

"Good."

"Good.""Fine," she hissed and stalked away, her pelt ruffled. "What's wrong with my sister?" Squirrel Paw asked as she walked up to me, "She's mad because I don't believe in Medicine Cats or Star Clan." I explained. Squirrel Paws eyes widened "Oh, you know she's a Medicine Cat apprentice." I rolled my eyes "whatever, lets just go train." I muttered, "…..okay." Squirrel Paw said finally and walked with me to where the afternoon training session was taking place.
