1Chapter 24
Echostar had this strange feeling that something terrible was happening. When the rest of the Thunderclan cats got back to camp, she hung behind. Then she saw her daughter race across the slope.
Not having seen her mother, Stardream had ran on until she was in the woods. Echostar saw the familiar dark cats that had held her prisoner follow her.
"I'll will not have Stardream go through what I had to go through," Echostar muttered and slipped into the camp.
She padded to Firestar's side as he started organizing patrols. "Firestar," Echostar meowed, "I have this strange feeling that one of our cats is in danger, can I borrow a few of your warriors and check things out?"
Firestar looked at her for a long moment before nodding.
"Cloudtail, Graystripe, Berryfur, Hazelcloud and Eaglewing, go with Echostar and do whatever she tells you to do, understand," he meowed.
The five cats he had chosen nodded in agreement and followed Echostar as she lead the way out of camp.
"We have to hurry," Echostar hissed to her patrol.
"Why?" Berryfur asked, rushing to catch up with the rest of the patrol.
"Because, I can sense a great evil is near, and I have a feeling of who it is," Echostar replied.
"You mean Jadeclan," Graystripe gasped, phrasing it as a question.
"Yes, and we must hurry, before we're to late," Echostar hissed, speeding off again.

Stardream struggled under Midnightpelt's grip. "Get off me, fox dung," she hissed, struggling to get up.
"Quit struggling or things will be worse for you," Midnightpelt hissed, digging her claws into Stardream's shoulder. Why can't we just kill her now? Darkstar is so cruel the way he deprives me of killing a cat from the clan I hate, Stardream heard Midnightpelt's thought as if it was her own.
Darkstar had caught up with them and leaned over to snarl in Stardream's ear. "You thought you had gotten away, but you didn't, you tried to do what your father has tried to do before you," Darkstar snarled.
"What do you know about my father?" Stardream spat, unable to control her anger. She knew Darkstar was the one that had killed Lighteningpelt, her father, though she never found out why.
"Your father was a fool to think he could save your clan," Darkstar hissed, "he thought there was a way to defeat me, but there isn't and your father soon learned why."
Darkstar flexed his claws and smiled, sinisterly at Stardream. "You don't seem surprised to find out that I was the one that killed your father," he hissed.
"I have always known, Stardream spat back, starting to struggle to get free again.
"It's no use, soon all of Sapphireclan will be wiped out, with you the last to go, so you can see your friends Eaglewing and Angelfeather die before you," Darkstar snarled, "and watch your love die before your eyes, and your mother."
When he mentioned Stardream's mother, she started to bristle with anger. "You'll never kill my friends and my mother," she hissed.
"And you'll watch both Shadowclan and Thunderclan die before your eyes," Darkstar hissed, as if she had not spoken.
No! Stardream yowled silently and heaved herself up with full force. She sent Midnightpelt flying into Darkstar, and they both crashed into a tree.
"Your first," Darkstar snarled, getting back to his paws, "I was being merciful at letting you live longer then the others, but your going to be the first to die." But before he could spring, a yowl sounded in the forest.
Stardream turned and saw Echostar spring from the woods with five warriors of Thunderclan behind her.
Echostar sprang at Darkstar and the small clearing fell into battle. Stardream slashed at Midnightpelt with her claws and drove her backwards. Though they were outnumbered, the Thunderclan patrol drove the Jadeclan cats away from the moonpool. They ended up crossing the Thunderclan border. Darkstar sniffed the air as he battled with Echostar.
"We're near the Thunderclan camp, break for it and show these wordless pieces of fox dung, why no one has been able to defeat us," Darkstar yowled.
The Jadeclan cats broke away from their opponents and took off, heading straight for the Thunderclan camp.
Fortunaly, Stardream had heard his plan before he said it out loud and was already racing toward the camp.
She knew she had to get there before Jadeclan so Thunderclan has a chance to get prepared and so they will have the chance to get Blackstar's answer.
Oh, great Starclan, please let Blackstar's answer be the right one, Stardream thought as she raced on.
