AN: Sorry this came in late, my computer had a virus so… that's not good xD

Anyway, I was stupid and I told myself I would write this last Saturday but I didn't…

So then on Sunday the computer I use to write most of the time had the virus on it and I was like "Oh shoot."

So now I'm here, where I'm late, again, so I'll try to make this chapter worth it. I just finished up the fifth clan chapter 3- but I might as well take many days longer to finish this- but I hope I get it done today.

*Crosses fingers*

So I just have to work hard on this day off of school :D
Enjoy:

Sparrowsong quickly scrabbled to her paws, but in heartbeats the monster was right at her. She started to run, but she knew it was too late. She squeezed her eyes closed, ready for Mintwillow's prophecy to really come true, when she realized she wasn't being crushed.

She blinked one eye open to see that the monster had swerved away from her. It was moving madly, and Sparrowsong took it as her chance to escape. She blindly ran to the voice of Bubblecloud, who wouldn't stop yelling at her. But before she could reach the edge, she felt a searing pain, as much pressure was applied to her tail. It was another monster, and its huge black paw was rolling over the center Sparrowsong's tail.

She let out a wailing yelp of pain, and when pressure left she quickly ran back to Bubblecloud, still yelping with pain. Bubblecloud gasped at her; "Sparrowsong your tail!"

The dappled queen turned and looked at her tail- or at least what was left of it. Her once thick and fluffy banner was now cut into two, and she looked with horror at her throbbing half-tail. Skin was torn and blood poured from where the other half of her tail used to be attached. She let out another cry and fell onto the ground with both exhaustion and pain.

"Don't worry, I'll help!" Bubblecloud assured, "Oh, I wish I brought some herbs- here." She drew some moss over Sparrowsong's wound, and she winced at the stinging of it.

"Okay, just stay here," Bubblecloud offered, "I'll go find some cobwebs,"

Sparrowsong nodded, and the medicine cat pelted off, leaving the queen to moan and groan in pain. She felt another cough rack her body, and she realized she would need more tansy. Luckily, another group of the plant rested nearby, and Sparrowsong crawled over to it.

The flowers looked exactly same as the ones she ate earlier, and so she took a few gingerly. She sighed with relief as the tickling in her throat was soothed, but her tail still throbbed madly.

"Sparrowsong, I'm back!" Bubblecloud called, her voice muffled with the cobwebs she held in her mouth. Sparrowsong held in more grunts of pain, as the medicine cat took away the mostly-fallen-off moss and replaced it with cobwebs. The moss was soaked through with blood, which made Sparrowsong feel nervous about whether it was going to heal quick enough or not.

She noted that the sun was setting, and she started to feel anxious that they would miss the moonstone session. "We have to go to the moonstone, now," She demanded, and she got onto her paws, while lifting her tail so that the cobwebs would stay on.

"Okay…" Bubblecloud looked uneasy, "But we must go very slowly, okay?"

"Right," Sparrowsong agreed, and started to take slow, balanced pawsteps toward highstones, which was in her vision as of now. They were so close now that it felt that it was needed to arrive that night, before they wouldn't be able to visit Starclan again. They both walked as slowly as snails to the highstones, where Starclan would be waiting.

They ambled about sluggishly, and it felt like moons when they reached the slant. Bubblecloud looked down uncertainly, and Sparrowsong looked around for a less slanted path.

"There!" Sparrowsong pointed with her tail at a bridge-like ledge. It was slanted only enough to get them down, and wouldn't cause them to trip at all, so long as they were careful enough. The pair went down, starting with Sparrowsong, with Bubblecloud following to make sure the queen didn't trip.

Once they reached the ground, Sparrowsong looked at mothermouth with awe. "Is that really the entrance?" She asked with wonder.

Bubblecloud didn't look as amused, but that was probably because she came here every moon. "Yes this is it," She replied, "Let's go in."

Bubblecloud started to pad inside, and Sparrowsong followed more hesitantly. She could only see darkness ahead of her, so she wondered how she and Bubblecloud would know where they were. She decided to have faith in the medicine cat, as they walked side-by-side into the surrounding darkness.

As they went in further, the tunnel began getting darker and darker until Sparrowsong could no longer see where she was putting her paws. She made a great effort not to lose feel of Bubblecloud's pelt, because she would not want to be lost in the dark tunnel for even a heartbeat. They continued descending, and the air was already beginning to get thinner.

When they had finally reached an opening, Sparrowsong could see that there was a hole at the roof of the cave, showing the starry night sky. She felt comforted by the dim light, and began to relax. "So how do we speak with Starclan?" Sparrowsong asked, staring at the big gem known as the moonstone. Bubblecloud shut her eyes, taking in the crisp cave air. "We have to wait until the moon goes directly above us," She mewed, "Then the moonstone will sparkle, and we will speak with them then."

And so they waited, and waited. It felt like ages before anything happened; but then something did. The moon, as Bubblecloud had said, had moved directly above the moonstone. Its gentle beams of light illuminated the large gemstone, making it sparkle unlike anything Sparrowsong had seen before.

"Whoa…" She whispered to herself. She had never yet seen the moonstone, though apprentices were supposed to before they became warriors. I guess it was because that she already had such a close connection with Starclan, that both she and Pricklestar had thought there was no need to travel to long to speak with them.

Though, to Sparrowsong's dismay, after she became a warrior her connections with Starclan had begun to fade slowly. She could barely remember the last time she met with them, which was the warrior's assessment, or so she thought. Now this hunk of gem would help the both of the sisters, all she had to do now was wait for Bubblecloud to tell her how to get in contact with their ancestors, however that was done.

"Okay," Bubblecloud said mindlessly, all her thoughts devoured by the beauty of the gem, "Now we just have to close our eyes, and touch our noses to the moonstone."

Sparrowsong dipped her head, and went up to the gem with her littermate. The two both settled down, and closed their eyes. Sparrowsong lurched her head forward and it rammed into the moonstone. Nothing happened, but she remembered Bubblecloud saying to touch the moonstone, not hit her head on it.

Sparrowsong pulled her head back and this time let her head fall more slowly, and she let her nose brush the gem. It was cold to the touch, yet it sent a relaxing feeling through her. She suddenly felt more tired than she ever had, and sleep crept through her systems almost like a poison. The felt herself drift away, knowing when she woke she would be with Starclan.

Or so she had hoped.

…

Sparrowsong woke again, but had trouble to open her eyes. It felt like glue was holding them together, and it took mass effort just to see. When she could, she saw her old home of Starclan, but it felt vaguely familiar. It seemed darker, and dirtier. The temperature was far colder then she had remembered, even colder than the air in the real world.

Everything seemed dead, with trees and flowers wilting, and two large and separate groups of cats. One side seemed double as large as the other, and she felt like she could imagine why. She was soon aware that her sister Bubblecloud had appeared just behind her.

"What happened here?" Bubblecloud mewed, "I had only been here but a few seasons ago, letting Mintwillow go for me, and now look at this!"

Sparrowsong stiffened. She remembered the dream she had when she had almost gotten killed by the tunnel caving in, but she easily forgot about it and moved on. But how could she have- it was so important, and now that she hadn't helped their ancestors are now living terrible, and the clans could be in grave danger!

"Speaking of Mintwillow," Sparrowsong said after a while, "I- we need to find her, Bubblecloud if you would, go to one of the groups, and I'll go to the other. See if you can find Mintwillow- as well as the reason why everything here is the way it is."

"Right," Bubblecloud agreed, nodding. The medicine cat quickly padded to the larger group, probably because she thought there was a higher chance of Mintwillow being there. Sparrowsong had a feeling that between the two groups that one was a "good" group and the other was a "bad" group.

She made her way to the other group of cats, the one a little more than half the size the other group. As she became close, she noticed many heads turn, and surprised gasps came from some of them. She also noticed the cat she was looking for, Mintwillow, pushing through the crowd.

"You're here," Mintwillow meowed, with a sort of wisdom that made her seem very trustworthy, "I need you to come with me."

"What do you mean?" Sparrowsong tilted her head, "Why is Starclan divided, and why do you want me?"

Mintwillow sighed. "There is much to tell, do come with me and I will tell you everything."

Sparrowsong gave a respectful dip of her head, and followed the former Thunderclan medicine cat away from the crowds and to the mossy rock where she used to love to play. She couldn't help but feel pitiful that the place she once called home was now a disastrous, inanimate territory.

"Now, I will tell you," Mintwillow mewed, "I'm sure your sister is learning too, but from the bad cats…"
"The bad cats?" Sparrowsong echoed.

"Yes, I'm ashamed to say all that happened to the wonderful place before I got here. Now listen to me as I tell you what happened…"

"When I died, I felt myself being taken over, like something was just pushing my soul from my body. I was welcomed by my father into Starclan, but never did I see him so frail and hurt since he was taking his dying breathes... It was scary, for I thought that Starclan helped cats stay young and healthy until forgotten by all minds. We both ascended into the stars, and I could feel myself beginning to grow afraid of what I would see there

"I noticed much arguing when I first arrived, something about whether or not to attack the clans. A cat called Hawkeyes settled the decision, that whoever will attack go into one group, and whoever refuses to go into another. For some reason many cats chose the side to fight you, because they thought that the living cats were showing disrespect to them

"Mostly the new Starclan cats and the smarter elder ones joined this group, but all the other cats are growing sour just like Hawkeyes and his followers. Many cats simply felt pressured to join the attacking side, and some were just angry. My father and I both joined the non-attacking group, but we were badly outnumbered. We knew it was the end for everyone, and we wondered how this could happen to the Starclan, the place I used to dream of going to someday

"But then, only days after I came here I received a prophecy- a prophecy about you. You are destined to save us all, Sparrowsong, and we trust you to make great sacrifices for the sake of all the clans, Starclan included! This is all you need to know, Sparrowsong. Morning waits, and you must leave now. But don't forget this conversation, it means everything.

"I can't leave now!" Sparrowsong protested, though she could feel herself fading away. Mintwillow waved her tail. "I'm afraid you can't stop it. There is one thing, that will happen to you as you awake. Expect what you least expected, young one."

…

Sparrowsong woke again to a much brighter space. Sunlight made its way to the opening in the roof, making the once dark room quite bright. Bubblecloud awoke with a jolt next to her, and the new medicine cat stared at her with fear and nervousness. "Did you-"Bubblecloud started, but Sparrowsong interrupted her with a nod. "The story was scary," She meowed, "but I heard an extra part."

"Oh?" Bubblecloud looked confused. Sparrowsong stuttered, "W-well, you see, from the side I went to, I found Mintwillow, and she told me there was a p-prophecy about me."

"What?"

"Never mind, I'll explain later."

Bubblecloud shrugged, but still looked anxious as she padded back to the tunnels that they came in through. Sparrowsong followed, and was relieved that it was brighter than it was last time, and she could at least see the outline of her paws against the dark earth. They both padded through the tunnels, when Sparrowsong felt a strange feeling between her legs. She decided to ignore it as they continued through the dark tunnels. Brightness shone up ahead, and the queen quickly jumped outside into the fresher air. She was about to get back to the climbing ledge, in wheich they could ascend back to the grass and head back home, when a sharp jolt hit her belly. What is this? She wondered, did I eat something bad?

Another jolt, but ever sharper, hit her, and she fell to the ground with pain. Bubblecloud stared at her. "Are you okay?"

"I think-" Sparrowsong broke off with a yowl pain as she felt her belly being stretched powerfully, "That my kits are coming now!"

 AN: Ha! Wait, sorry, I had no reason to laugh.

Well I finally finished this and now it's amazingly awesome :D

6 pages! A new record for me! So I guess it is completed then, and I won't go off into some random conversations again. But I would like to say how happy I am that I'm finally almost near the climax!
