Leafpool pov

+Before Crowfeather shows up+

My fur is pricking I feel like I have bees in my fur. The thought of seeing my kits. It makes me happy but why now? I look across the camp after we got back I departed from Hawkfrost telling him I needed time to think and not to tell the kits just yet.

I see Rainwhisker once more stalking my sister. I shake my head, why can't that tom learn she has no interest in him...only for her own mate Stormstar.

"Jaypaw, we need more comfreys. Tomorrow we will gather some.

"Yes Leafpool." He looked at me as he spoke as if he could see me...its unnerving.

The cool wind blow gently across camp, I see my daughter Sierrapaw, walking with Brightheart. And I want to tell her who I am...but I stop why should she know the truth now? After she is a warrior then I will tell her.

But the pull to speak to my kids is strong. So I follow Sierrapaw out into the forest, I scent the air not knowing if the rogues are about or not.

Slowly as not to bring attention to myself I follow her from afar.
I scent a mouse; drawing the air over my tongue I could taste the prey as well as faint smoke.
See through the foliage to Sierrapaw, she is stalking the mouse, but she is also trying to use her power.
With tense paw steps I keep my eyes on her, the mouse was unaware of her but it could smell the smoke from her power.
With a quick swipe of her black fur paw, Sierrapaw sent a small wave of fire over the prey.
The prey was killed; amazingly it was not scorched... Sierra paw has great control over her powers.
Leaf pool sat back for a moment to clean her whiskers. Before she stepped forth alerting Sierrapaw, to her presents.
"Leafpool, what are you doing here?" Her voice nervous as if she feared that the medic cat saw her use her power.
Sierrapaw swallowed hard...fear scent filling the air.
Shh, "its ok," Leaf pool
Sierrapaw looks at Leafpool with wide eyes.
: I won't tell...I promise..."
SIERRAPAW relieved, picks up the mouse, taking it by the tail, glancing over her shoulder she nods to Leafpool, "OK then come with me."

Leafpool wondered why they were, not heading back to camp, "Sierra paw what are we doing?"
The buckskin, colored cat flicked her tail, she did not respond to the medic car.
Leaf pool followed as they went deeper into the woods
. "Why are we going here?"
"You saw my powers what else am I to do with you?...I can't kill you...but I know others whom may...you may have discovered my power but you won't live to tell it,"
Shock flooded Leafpool, her tail quivering, she flexed her claws l, wishing now she had stayed in camp with hawk frost.
Oh why did I follow her? Can she- will- kill me? Her paw steps unsteady with growing fear Leafpool went to what she was sure was her doom.

###Sierrapaw#
my anger tastes foul in my mouth, my tail is kinking in my anger. How stupid was I not to check before using my power? But what's done is done; there is no going back or changing time. So press on trying to calm myself when I scent Baypaw.

The orange and white she cat came swiftly to the meeting spot she halted when she saw that I had Leafpool with me. Her fur rising on her shoulders and neck.

"Why is she here?" She growled ice forming underpaw.
I hear leaf pool gulp...I hissed in my ever present anger...
"Baypaw, we have to dispose of this cat!" I flick my tail in the light tabby she cat's direction.
Shock flooded Baypaw's eyes.
"K-k-kill her?"
Sierrapaw nodded, smoke curling from, under her paws.
Baypaw looked at the Thunderclan medicine cat, drawing in her scent...her mind begin. To be filled with images. A milk scent filled her muzzle.
I know this cat!

But why would I know her? Baypaw shook her head to focus on the task at paw, she turn to face Sierrapaw, " Sierrapaw why?"
The golden she cat spat on the ground, "she has seen me use my power, and now yours as well."
The 2 cats looked at the Thunderclan cat, her fear scent strong...
Sierrapaw pricks, her ears hearing the sound of the other cats in this odd assortment.

The blue black Tom, came into the clearing between the clans a short ways from Darkus's barn. His ears pricked to the sound of the cats.
SIERRA PAW turned to face him, anger still blazing in her amber eyes.
"Ebonypaw! Leafpool saw us use our, powers now she knows about us, should we kill her? "
Silence greeted the cats as Ebonypaw, took his time. He looked at the 3 with powers and the scared lone medicine cat.
Her scent familiar to him but he could not place where he had smelled her scent before.
Pity tugged at his heart, a voice in his head told him not to go along with this. So he growled at Leafpool.
"No, we keep her alive, don't be silly." His voice deep and mature for such a young cat. Baypaw, thought to herself.
Sierrapaw howled to Starclan her anger.
Ebonypaw, growled loudly turning to Sierrapaw, he sent a small wave to crash over her. Cooling her down.
Great now I'm wet! Soaking wet, yuck! She hissed at Ebonypaw.
Just then as the cats sat in a Simi circle around Leafpool, a fox came up. Its bright red fur gleaming, "stops fighting and come together!"
Swiftly the cats all turned to face the blue eyed fox. Sierrapaw, raised a paw claws unsheathed, fire glowing at the tips.
"Stop that, Sierrapaw. I have come to talk. My name is Finn. I've met you all before. In many forms. You must listen to Leaf pool. She plays an important part in the prophecy. "
Stunned the cats say nothing as the fox continues.
"Soon a, visitor will come to the clans seeking help. Follow the Crow's Feather to the mountains, there you all will discovery your destiny." the fox twitched his whiskers at the look of shock on the cat's faces.

"How can we trust you?" mewed Ebonypaw. Taking a protective stance next to Baypaw. SHE pressed into the blue black tom. Sierrapaw started to summon her fire when the fox growled low in its throat. The embers cooled and Sierra was stunned. How? She tried again but the same thing happen!

"What are you doing to my powers? She started to bunch her hindquarters to pounce on the fox when Leafpool, stepped in her path. "No Sierrapaw, use your head, Fin wants to help. It would be stupid of you to reject it. How you all kept this a secret I don't know. But you can trust me,"

Just then Baypaw spoke up, "I remember you!" You're the fox who spoke to me in Shadowclan!"

""Good Baypaw, now remember to follow the Crows Feather. That is the news I wish to impart along with don't trust the shadows for they hold destruction. Good day!" with that Fin stood and walked away until he vanished. Sierrapaw just snorted. Her anger gone.

Leafpool pov

"Sierrapaw, can we go home? I understand that you three have powers, and I won't tell a soul," LEAFPOOL spoke softly to her daughter. "I know that you have Fire powers, and that Baypaw has Ice and that Ebonypaw has Water...that's cool... just be careful I may not tell but another cat will and then what will you do? According to Fin you three have a Destiny. Can I Help you achieve it? "

The three cats looked at Leafpool, who was sitting calmly. Each cat wondering if they should trust her but then again they just saw a fox speaking to them so then spoke in hushed tones with each other.

Leafpool was happy on the inside, her heart seems to want to burst with pride at her kits...even if they have no idea she is there mother.

Baypaw looked at Leafpool. "You may help us. We meet every half and quarter moon. We trust you. Since you are a medicine cat maybe you can help us with this deciphering of the prophecy that the fox was talking about. We know a little of it but mostly we practice our powers,"

"Leafpool, in sorry," Sierrapaw spoke softly her as she asked for her forgiveness.

She pressed her muzzle into her side, Leafpool purred with happiness. This was her happy moment. She made her tail on Sierra's back. "It's ok you were scared. For now let's go home."

"Meeting adjoined until the Next Quarter," Ebonypaw said as they all turned and went back to their clans.

So the cats all went their ways leaving Leafpool, and Sierrapaw to head back to Thunderclan.

As they walked back, Sierrapaw drew in Leafpool scent and for a moment she got a memory of the nursery and Squirrelflight and Leafpool talking...but she could not place what they are saying. She shook her head and the memory left... but it felt like they had been upset about something but what?

"Sierrapaw, go hunt for the clan, I need to go on...I was to meet Hawkfrost."

"OK Leafpool," Sierrapaw bounded off.

Later that day close to evening when all was said and done, Leafpool was resting with Hawkfrost, and Sierrapaw was playing with Icekit and Foxkit that a scent washed into the camp. A scent that seemed familiar...who was it? Stormstar leaped to his paws and dashed down the High Ledge as a black cat came into the camp with a silver she cat by his side.

"Crowfeather! Brook! What are you guys doing here?" Stormstar asked his Blue eyes wide with shock.

The haggard tom and his skinny wife replied quietly.

"WE have come to ask the clans for help! A group of rogues have taken over a part of the tribes Hunting land...will you help us?" Crowfeather then he collapsed.
