Wow! I have FIVE chapters already! But only that many reviews? Come on, people . . . just joking! Anyway, I know I kind of dumped all those chapters on you all in one day . . . I typed chapters 2 and 3 that day and I'd already had the allegiances down so I just threw them all in the story. Sorry if that was a little too much . . . anyway, welcome Chapter Five!

Crap I nearly forgot this. Here it is. Disclaimer: Wait. I don't need one! I OWN WARRIORS! YAY!

Erin Hunter: =comes in= Sorry, there's been a mix-up. You don't own warriors.

Me: Yet. =snickers evilly= But for the time being, I don't own warriors.

Stormpaw padded into the apprentices' den after talking with Cloudstar. Every cat there stared at him. Thrushpaw, Songpaw, Jadepaw, and Longpaw looked welcoming. Shadepaw's face was unreadable. Frozenpaw was still radiating fury. She shot Stormpaw a glare, then turned her back to him to sleep. Shadepaw curled up in his nest beside Songpaw and Longpaw and closed his eyes. Thrushpaw flashed Stormpaw an excited expression and motioned to the empty nest in the corner. Stormpaw nodded and carefully stepped over tails to get to it.

He curled up in the corner, making sure to circle his nest so his scent was all over it. Then he touched noses with the friendly apprentices and closed his eyes, facing the corner wall.

Suddenly he felt another pelt on his. He tilted his head and peered over.

Jadepaw's pelt was against his. She whispered, "Goodnight, Stormpaw," and looked away.

The odd feeling returned to Stormpaw's stomach. He couldn't bring himself to look away from Jadepaw until sleep finally claimed him. Stormpaw's last feeling was the sensation of Jadepaw's pelt against his.

"Rainkit."

Stormpaw's eyes shot open. There he was, in the black void again, with thunder rumbling in the distance. "Hello?" he called, getting quickly to his paws.

A flash of lightning struck, illuminating the void. When Stormpaw opened his eyes, he found he was in a field, with a stormy sky rumbling above him. Rain began to fall. "Hello?" he called again.

"Rainkit."

The voice came from behind him. Stormpaw turned. "Nightwind!" he mewed.

The shecat strode toward him, her blue eyes glowing in the night sky. "Hello, Rainkit," she greeted him.

"I'm Stormpaw," Stormpaw corrected.

"You may be that in ThunderClan, but in my eyes, you are still Rainkit," Nightwind meowed softly.

Was that motherly love Stormpaw detected in her voice? Did this strange cat think she was his mother? Stormpaw backed away from her. "What do you want?" he asked cautiously.

"I have something to tell you," Nightwind replied, her voice turning serious.

"What is it?" Stormpaw inquired.

Nightwind closed her eyes. When she spoke, her voice was no longer motherly and kind, but grave and rasping.

"There is one, kin of the least expected,

whose past will be revealed one step at a time

until his full potential is realized.

An unstoppable evil approaches

and only the storm can save us all."

And with a flash of lightning, Nightwind was gone.

"Nightwind!" Stormpaw cried, running to where she'd just been. He searched frantically for her scent. "Nightwind! What do you mean?"

She was nowhere to be found, but her words still lingered. They had been frightening to Stormpaw. He knew what he had just witnessed.

A prophecy had been told to the former rogue. And it sounded like a bad one, too. "An unstoppable evil" didn't exactly sound good.

Stormpaw, his pelt soaked, stood shivering in the storm. Rain was coming down hard now, making Stormpaw's pelt prickle. But he didn't care. All he wanted to do was wake up so this nightmare could end.

"Great StarClan, Stormpaw! How'd you get so wet!?"

Thrushpaw's confused yowl awoke the new apprentice. Stormpaw blinked sleepily and murmured, "What?"

"Stormpaw, you're soaking wet!" Songpaw meowed.

Stormpaw looked down at himself. He was soaking wet. How had he gotten like this?

Realization dawned on him. The storm in his dream . . . just how real had it been?

"It's bad enough I have to share a den with him," Frozenpaw hissed under her breath. "Now he's made it all wet!"

"I'm not exactly jumping at the idea of sharing with you," Stormpaw snapped back. He shook himself dry, not caring if he sprayed Frozenpaw with water.

Frozenpaw hissed and stalked out of the den. Stormpaw snickered and touched noses with Thrushpaw.

As the cats ate their morning fresh-kill, Stormpaw couldn't keep his eyes off Jadepaw. The pretty ginger shecat didn't seem to even notice him. I can see her, Stormpaw thought as he finished his plump mouse. But the question is can she see me?

As Stormpaw nudged his mouse aside, Amberdapple padded up and mewed, "I thought I'd show you the territory today. Come on."

"OK!" Stormpaw's mind finally left Jadepaw and focused on being a ThunderClan apprentice. It was time to see their territory!
