Chapter 1

Harmonypaw lazily watched a butterfly flew past her nose. She sneezed and blinked as if flew away from her a very fast speed. She sighed and watched as it settled on a nearby branch. The butterfly's beautiful wings flashed colors of pink, yellow, and blue in a pattern that dazzled her. She blinked back remembering when she was just a tiny kit, at only the age of three moons. That was before Glitterpaw had broken her back. Glitterkit and Harmonykit had been chasing a nest of newly hatched butterflies with Fogkit and Sweetkit. Foxkit refused to play, saying she was too old to be catching butterflies and we would do better for our clan by practicing hunting or fighting for our upcoming apprenticeships.

I had never realized how much I would hate my apprenticeship until I finally became an apprentice. I had eagerly waited for the day when Fernstar; the old leader of LeafClan, would call me from the high tree and officially make my kithood dreams come true. Of course when it finally happened I was ecstatic, I was mentored to Mistysky, but only a little into my apprenticeship the challenge was transferred to Silverstar, Silverfur at the time. Of course I had heard Lilypaw, Rainbowpaw, and Streampaw complain about their chores, but I figured that it would only be a small part, the rest would be battling and hunting. Boy was I wrong; I spent most of my first moon of being Harmonypaw collecting moss and cleaning out the nursery and the elders den.

Glitterkit leapt onto a nearby butterfly, pinning it beneath her claws. They were about as sharp as rabbit's claws, but still sharp enough to cause damage. She ripped part of the butterfly's wings, effectively killing it. It would not be able to fly away and find food and Harmonykit hoped that the butterfly didn't have any family that would miss it. Glitterkit held the butterflies gently beneath her teeth, showing off its beautiful orange and blue pattern.

'That's bad karma,' commented Sweetkit.

Glitterkit just nodded, clearly not taking in Sweetkit's comment whatsoever. 'It's just a butterfly, it doesn't matter much. Nothing bad will happen to me because I hurt this butterfly.'

Now Harmonypaw couldn't be so sure, it was only a moon later that Glitterpaw had fallen out of that tree and broken her backbone. She grimaced remembering her sister laying the medicine cats den, Echostream telling them that she was very close to StarClan and wouldn't likely make it through the night unless the fever dropped dramatically.

As if miracle happened, Glitterpaw's fever dropped that night to nothing and she made it through, eventually becoming a medicine cat apprentice to Echostream herself. Harmonypaw had felt guilty about this; she could have stopped her sister from running out into the forest that night. She sighed as she lay in the shade of the den that she was kept prisoner inside of MistClan's camp. Harmonypaw was a LeafClan camp, but in a nighttime raid she was taken from the medicine cats den by MistClan warriors against her will.

She looked around for Mousepaw; he was her assigned caretaker in the MistClan camp; getting her prey, and escorting her to the dirt place when she needed to go. He was a handsome light brown tom with a white splash on his chest and dazzling green eyes with a few black stripes that distinguished him from other cats. He normally spent the day with her, considering he was confined in the MistClan camp for a reason even he did not know.

Harmonypaw felt different about Mousepaw, different than she had felt about any cats that she knew. She loved Glitterpaw, Glitterpaw was her sister though, and she had a special bond with her sister of course, Blizzardpaw was a good friend of hers, always able to make her smile and laugh, Sweetpa… er berry as Mousepaw told her she was now called; he had a few other cats tell him what happened at the gathering and Harmonypaw was shocked that Mintstar would attack Silverstar like that, Sweetberry lived up to her name, she was sweet and intelligent, a nice cat to be around, and Fogbreath, well he was um, different, he was cold-hearted at times but she knew he fought bravely despite his injuries to prevent her from being captured.

But Mousepaw, oh Mousepaw, he was different. Harmonypaw felt like he was the one, she really loved him, and not in a sibling or family way. She just wanted to be his mate, yet she knew that would never be. They were from two different worlds, and also the clans they were from were a war. There was no way for them to be together and Harmonypaw hated every moment of that realization.

She blinked as a cool shadow draped over her. She looked up to see Mousepaw over her, in his mouth was a medium sized sparrow. Recently Mintstar had allowed Mousepaw to give her large pieces of prey after he told her how thin she was becoming. Harmonypaw was really grateful for the sparrow.

"Thank you." she meowed quietly, making sure no cat could hear. Mintstar had forbidden her to speak at all times, but she broke this rule whenever Mousepaw was around.

Mousepaw dipped his head and began to retreat, Harmonypaw felt adrenaline course through her veins. "Why are you leaving? You normally stay with me during the day!" she protested.

"My mentor complained to Mintstar that I was getting behind in my training and I'm allowed to go train now!" he meowed excitement showing in his green eyes.

Harmonypaw blinked, This was good news, but she couldn't help feeling disappointed. Mousepaw nodded and ran out, clearly oblivious to her disappointment. Now who will stay with me during the day? I'll be awfully bored. She thought.

She let out a sigh and gently cuffed a leaf, around. This will have to do, she thought. She lay cuffing the leaf around for the remainder of the day. When darkness began to creep over the beautiful sun, she waited for Mousepaw to join her like he normally did, but he never came and Harmonypaw fell asleep cold and lonely. She never realized how cold and lonely it was without another cat to sleep with. She buried herself into the soft moss and closed her eyes.

AN: Hello, because I got 10 reviews on the allegiances and prologue yesterday here is a treat! Another chapter Whoa!

Now I'm giving a shout out to SplashHart because she is my first reviewer on the second book. Yay!

Also thanks Dewfeather4225, I corrected that. When I was doing the allegiances I did the first one, perfect! Then I didn't hit the save button and had to do them all over again so I did em' as fast as I could.

And to Kat(Guest) I need to clear something up. I know my names are not cannon. It is made because I don't want them to be cannon. This is my story, although the idea is owned by the Erins, I want to give it my own flair. That's where the names come it. I understand if you do not like the names, but please stop telling me. I know that some of you guys don't like the names, but I'm not changing them. Thanks for the constructive criticism. I tried to fix all the mistakes. Thanks!

Now I might not be very active. I'm reading My Sisters Keeper and I have a lot on my plate. (I didn't realize how many cuss words are in My Sisters Keeper...) I so far like the book, but the topic is kinda touchy for me. I really like Judge though, but I love all animals, even if they are service dogs. xD
I've also been watching Dragon Ball and yesterday I watched the episode where krillin dies and I was like "Oh, Goku is so mad!" But anyways, most of you won't know what I'm talking about so well, bye!
