Predicting the Future

by Flame in the Darkness

After the flood that almost destroyed the Clans, peace reigns among the four Clans at the lake. However, Bramblestar is faced with a new dilemma, one that involves every single cat involved with the Clans, including the Tribes. Bramblestar and the other leaders must unite all cats, or face the wrath of the Dark Forest once and for all.

Bramblestar's POV

"It's beautiful," Bramblestar mewed.

"It never gets old," Leafpool replied.

The Moonpool was filled with stars from Silverpelt, and the cave was shining with sparkling stones.

"Lie down beside the Moonpool, and drink from it," Leafpool mewed.

Bramblestar lay down, lapped at the starry water, and closed his eyes. He opened them to find himself in front of the Ravenpaw in StarClan.

"Welcome back, Bramblestar," Ravenpaw mewed.

"Thank StarClan I'm talking to you," Bramblestar said, relieved, "Have you been contacted by Tigerstar?"

"No. Your daughter Ravenpaw will be safe, because I know Tigerstar and his ways. I won't be easily influenced."

"Thank you, Ravenpaw." Bramblestar said.

"However, since Ashfur, Halftail, and Feathertail have been corrupted, StarClan is in turmoil," Ravenpaw mewed, "The three cats' relatives are desperately trying to stop their children, but Ashfur, Halftail, and Feathertail won't stop, like they're in some sort of trance."

"What can we do?" Bramblestar asked.

"You need the help of trustworthy cats, from StarClan and the five other Clans."

"Five? You mean SkyClan?" Bramblestar asked.

"Firestar has talked to you about this? Good. Then you know where to go."

"I have to go to SkyClan?"

"And request the help of Leafstar. Oh, and the other Clans, SkyClan included, are also experiencing the corruption of their apprentices for revenge. Be careful in who you trust, Bramblestar. Don't make more enemies than you should."

Bramblestar woke up to the star filled cave. Leafpool was already awake.

"Come on, we must get back to camp," Bramblestar mewed. "I have to talk to Sandstorm."

Together Bramblestar and Leafpool hurried back to camp in an uneasy silence. They jumped over tree roots and wove through the trees in unison; this wasn't the first time they had come back from the Moonpool, and now they just naturally came back as one.

Leafpool broke the silence halfway back to camp, "What has that about, Bramblestar? The running? The hurry? Ravenpaw? Explain what's happening to me," she commanded.

With his ears down he told her... everything. He told her about the training in the Dark Forest that had happened so many moons ago, Hawkfrost with his plan to kill Firestar, everything he had seen when he had seen Tigerheart, and everything else. The truth flew through him like a river, and it was quite past sun-high when his story finally came to an end.

"So now you know..."
