"Deadheart!" Hawkfeather gasped. What was he doing here, covered with blood "What happened?"

"The rogues.." He stuttered, gasping for air "Attack... nowhere... only I .. caught their... scent.."

Blood gushed out of his side, staining the grass.

"Hold.. hold on!" He panicked "I'm gonna get some..." What was that thing used to stop blood? "Cobwebs! Okay? Hold on." He scrambled off to a nearby rotten tree. Extending his claws, Hawkfeather reached inside. A sticky wad of cobweb stuck to his claws, and he yanked it out.

"I got it!" He panted to Deadheart, who was barely moving. He pressed the wad of sticky crap to his side. Blood soaked the cobwebs, spreading like tendrils across the white surface.

"Oh, oh gosh." Hawkfeather thought he was going to faint.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Deadheart muttered, eyes closed

"Yeah, yeah, I'm good..." The blood was starting to slow down. "Should I get Cloudshine?"

"No!" Deadheart's eyes fluttered open "I'm a trespasser!"

"So... I should chase you out?"

"... Never mind." He sighed. His eyes closed, and his breathing evened out. Hawkfeather stared into the horizon. The golden sun was setting, creating elongated shadows on the moors.

"You should go... You're clan will be looking for you..." Deadheart meowed after awhile "I can walk..."

"No! You'll probably die if I leave you here!"

"I'm fine... I promise!" He spluttered "Just go! You can't stay.. They'll think you're a traitor!"

"They already do.."

"What?!"

"Never mind, I'll just help you back to your camp.." He used his shoulders to support Deadheart onto his legs. They padded slowly towards BreezeClan camp, while Deadheart was coughing heavily.

"Intruder!"

Swiftclaw and Meadowstream appeared out of nowhere, teeth bared.

"Hold... Hold on!" Hawkfeather grunted. Deadheart lopped over on the grass

"What's this?" Meadowstream hurried over to her clan mate. "What happened?"

"I found him inside our border..." Hawkfeather trailed off, not knowing what to say

"Swiftclaw, he's bleeding!" Meadowstream meowed urgently

"Let's get him back to camp. Now." He nodded curtly to Hawkfeather, and padded away with his clan mates

(DuskClan)

Snowglow jolted awake. It's that dream again. Cloudkit, being left in the clearing with foxes about.

"Snowglow, you alright?" Bladeshadow brushed his tail along her back. She had been waking up like this for a long time.

"It's Cloudkit! She's there.."

"Shh, it's okay... She with StarClan now..."

Snowglow couldn't shake the feeling that her kit was still alive. It was like she could feel her kit's heartbeat. No, she wouldn't be a kit anymore, would she?

"She's alive, Bladeshadow... I know it."

Bladeshadow didn't know what to say. Snowglow has always had a sixth sense... Could she be right? He hoped she was right..

"We have to find her and bring her back!"

"Okay... we'll see..."

(FireClan)

Skyblaze couldn't help but feel that something was extremely wrong. It was like an itch in her heart. She could tell that Cloud was feeling uneasy too.

"Something wrong..."

She nodded "I know... It's strange..."

"Skyblaze! Cloud! Get over here!"

Thornstar was right outside his den. He seemed a bit impatient.

"What is it? Can't you see I'm about to eat." Skyblaze grumbled. Thornstar had been very demanding for the past couple of days.

"You do know I'm your leader, right?" Thornstar raised his eyebrow "Anyways, the four leaders have decided to meet tomorrow night to discuss the prophecy. You two are coming, so are the medicine cats and deputies."

"Really? That's great." Cloud meowed "We need to tell them everything that's going on... and Thornstar?"

He looked up, eyes raised

"... Do you think there's a chance that I... I may be DuskClan?" She stuttered the last few words.

Thornstar stared, and nodded slightly

"It makes sense, you know. Skyblaze is from FireClan, the others from both BreezeClan and RippleClan... and your birth is blurry... It could be possible."

"I... I think... if it's possible... I should go to the DuskClan camp... I remember some things... Pines."

Skyblaze opened her mouth. Cloud can't leave! She'd be lonely...

"That's a good choice." Thornstar meowed, silencing Skyblaze with a look. "We will have to talk to Shadowstar though."

Cloud dipped her head and padded away. Skyblaze chased after her.

"Why? Don't you like it here?"

"I do," She looked at Skyblaze, sadness glazing her eyes "But there are things that must be done."

"But..."

Mosscloud chose to walk in on them at this moment. "Skyblaze, we have to go. We're on patrol."

"Right.." She murmured "Coming!"

She shot Cloud one last look. She still doesn't understand. DuskClan was known to be cold and heartless, the exact opposite of Cloud.

"What's wrong?" Her sister narrowed her eyes.

"Cloud wants to leave..." Skyblaze looked up, expecting her to be happy, instead, Mosscloud looked puzzled.

"Maybe she has her reasons... Cloud's not a rash cat."

"I know.. but still!"

Mosscloud ran her tail along her spine. "You know you still have me and Thistlefoot... We'll be here, no matter what."

Hearing her words, Skyblaze realized how much she had pushed away her siblings.

"Thank you, I know.."

"Hey you two, hurry up!" Leopardfoot meowed, irritated.

They padded towards the patrol, and headed towards the RippleClan border.

(NEXT DAY)

Hawkfeather padded around anxiously. The night was coming quickly, and Wetstar was still inside his den, discussing matters with Deadtail. He didn't want to be late!

"Calm your fur." Cloudshine appeared next to him "We've still got time."

He nodded, paws still itching to get out of camp. Cloudshine settled next to him, grooming his own fur.

"So, you want to tell me what's going on?"

Hawkfeather dropped his mouse. Did he find out about the thing with Deadheart?

"Don't act like a startled mouse! I'm only asking about the thing with Skyblaze."

"Oh, right.." Hawkfeather cleared his throat "Well.. I don't know. That's why we should get going and find out!"

"I can hear you, Hawkfeather!" Wetstar padded across the clearing. He seemed to be.. skipping

"Why so happy, Wetstar?" Mudwhisker greeted him

"Rosefur's having kits!"

"Congratulations!" Hawkfeather meowed happily. The clan needed more kits. Maybe then I will get an apprentice!

"Thank you!" Wetstar regained his composure "Now, let's get going."

He led them out of the camp entrance, and with his tail high, headed towards the Fourtrees.

(Fourtrees)

Skyblaze and Cloud followed Thornstar to the Fourtrees. The skies were blue, and sunshine pouring, though it was only newleaf. Skyblaze felt much more... happy today. It seemed for once that everything was going right. Leaftail's kits has just been born, and the clan thrived under the newleaf sun.

"It's such a nice day..." She sighed

Cloud flicked her tail in agreement. The Fourtrees were up ahead, the buds of the leaves reflecting sunlight.

"Shadowstar." Thornstar dipped his head in respect. The large DuskClan leader padded towards the group of FireClan cats.

"Thornstar."

Skyblaze couldn't help but feel a strand of tense energy between the two leaders. Thornstar seemed to quicken his pace, leaving Shadowstar in the dust. The other two leaders appeared and dipped their heads in respect. They quickly climbed up the great rock, settling into their usual positions. The deputies gathered under the rock.

Cloudshine coughed to get everyone's attention. "I'm sure you've all heard the prophecy we, the medicine cats have received." He coughed again "Dark will come and swallow the sun, but the sky will continue to be blue."

"We've also received further information," Windheart spoke up "That there will be more help."

"And now," Lilyripple continued "We have found the cats, destined to save us from this 'darkness'."

They backed away, revealing four very alarmed cats.

"Skyblaze of FireClan," Lilyripple announced

"Hawkfeather of RippleClan"

"Deadheart of BreezeClan,"

"And.." Lilyripple was interrupted by Cloud.

"Me," She stepped out, tail shaking "I'm Cloud." Skyblaze thought she saw the DuskClan deputy's eyes grow wide "I don't know where I'm from, but I know I am a clan cat." Her words seemed to be directed at Shadowstar "I was heavily injured when I was a kit, and rescued by twolegs. After I received the dream, I joined FireClan. Looking at the situation, I have every reason to believe that I'm from DuskClan."

Shadowstar's eyes widened. "... It does make sense.." Looking at Bladeshadow, they seemed to be sharing a secret of some sort.

Cloud continued "I do remember bits and pieces of my life before twolegs, and my request to you, Shadowstar, is that you allow me to live in DuskClan for a bit to see if I remember the place."

"Of course! You are welcome in DuskClan."

Skyblaze shared glances with the others. It was unlike DuskClan to accept stranger's so easily. Something was going on...

"Thank you," Cloud sighed and backed away to Skyblaze. She was shaking.

"There's more," Lilyripple meowed "Skyblaze... She has powers. And I believe the others do, too."

"What's her power?" Featherstar asked

"She opens up the earth..."

"That's not all!" Deadheart interrupted "I saw a flick of fire at the bottom. It seemed to want to get bigger, but it was over already."

"That makes more sense... She is from FireClan." Skyblaze hated how they acted as if she wasn't there.

"Have any of you had strange powers?" Wetstar's gaze raked over them

Deadheart spoke up "I can smell things, like not just regular scenting. I can smell it from very far away and if there's only a little trace of it."

"There must be more to your powers..."

"I think they only need time to figure it out."

"Yes, of course." Thornstar nodded in agreement. "This is obviously big trouble. If any of us have anything go on that is strange, send a messenger. We must figure this out and protect the Clans."

The leader's nodded their agreement, but was interrupted by a voice

"You can try to save the clans, but it will not work." Everyone looked around. "I will destroy you. EVERY LAST ONE!"

End of my first book! I'm going to start writing a second one now! Please look forward to it :D Love y'all!
