They must defeat their past, and prevent the mist from reaching The Clans, before everything turns into a bloody war.'

1st Tail: Foxstep's Apprentice...
CHAPTER 1

The morning sunlight flashed through the den, sparkling light dancing upon the sleeping ShadowClan warriors. Foxsteps groaned as she sat up, her light golden pelt sparkling like magic dust in the light. Morning, she gasped as she stretched, another day of hunting and patrolling. She could hear the camp already waking up, the forest now alive with the chirps of the birds and the scent of fresh prey leaving their homes. Foxsteps glanced over, watching as the warriors began to awaken along with her.

"Hi Fox," Rainsplash meowed, her dark blue eyes flashing in the sunny den.

"Hi," Foxstep's tail twitched. Rainsplash and Firesong were her friends, best friends since they were kits. Firesong was older however, her orange pelt almost reminding them of Firestar's pelt, because they were almost the same.

"I wonder what we'll be doing today, perhaps patrolling the borders again," Firesong moaned. Tornstar had been busy in the last few days, and being the fact that he was on his 6th life gave Foxstep the shivers.

"Lets go outside and find out-" her sentence was cut off by the sound of Tornstar's meeting call.

"Well," muttered Rainsplash, resting her tail on Firesong, "I guess we'll find out now." All the cats began crowding into the clearing. Foxstep noticed Thrushkit and Airkit standing next to their mother. Was the meeting about them?

"Cat's of ShadowClan!" Tornstar yowled out into the clearing. Everyone's attention spiked towards the ShadowClan leader. He's eyes beamed with pride and concern, "I have decided today, to apprentice two more kits, Airkit and Thrushkit. We are doing it this morning because of the rainstorm last night." Foxstep had to agree, it was a bad night yesturday. The ground was muddy, and pelts and fur were ruffled and cold. She brought herself back into the meeting.

"You have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed," Tornstar went on, "From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, Thrushkit will be known as Thrushpaw, and Airkit as Airpaw." Both kits, or now apprentices raised their chins proudly. Hopefully they get good mentors, thought Foxstep, her eyes resting on each of the warriors in the clearing without an apprentice.

"Sunstreak, you have learned well since you were an apprentice, and your skills have saved our clan numerous of times," Tornstar called out, "and i would like for you to take those skills and pass it on to Thrushpaw." Sunstreak, the orange tabby tom stepped forwards, her gaze on Thrushpaw. Quickly, they touched noses with each other, and the clan erupted in cheers. Foxstep smiled as the new apprentice jumped around happily. Then it all died down as Tornstar spoke again.

"For this brave apprentice, Airpaw, being the lucky one of the clan, i would like Foxstep to mentor him." Foxstep's eyes went wide as her name echoed the clearing. Tornstar stared at her, his eyes bearing down at her. Rainsplash trotted over to Foxstep, "Congrats its you!" she cried out. Foxstep just shuddered. Did he really just ask me to mentor...she trailed off, beginning to walk to Airpaw. Everyone's eyes burned into her skull as she stepped forwards.

"I want you to also pass your talents and skills onto Airpaw. Although you've never done this before, i want you to become who you really are, and what you can make cats become." Foxstep found herself standing in front of the apprentice. Airpaw looked up at her with pride, but confusion and worry seemed to dig deep into Foxstep's bones. But atlas, she pressed down onto the apprentice's cold nose. The world erupted into cries and cheers to both of them. Tornstar walked back to his den, before Foxstep can see him.

"YAY!" Airpaw cried out in cheers, "I'm an apprentice! And i have a mentor!" He jumped up and down towards his mom, Goldentail, while everyone surrounded him, except Foxstep. The thought of mentoring an apprentice worried her the most than anything that she has faced. She didn't even have experience! What can I say to him, what can i teach him? Foxstep thought as she gazed into the crowd. She turned around, walking towards the warrior den when she felt Airpaw's eyes touch the tip of her tail. Another thought also hit her, ''what if I'm not good, or bring him to his death? What if I lose him?''

CHAPTER 2

"Foxstep! Foxstep? Wake up!"

"GAH!" Bursting from her sleep, Foxstep scrambled awake, breaking her bedding beneath her. She turned to face Airpaw's gleaming eyes and bushy face. Foxstep groaned. She totally forgot that she had an apprentice. Now with Airpaw, things would be different for her.

"What is it Airpaw?" Airpaw's tail twitched impatiently.

"Today's my first day! I'm gonna learn so much! Don't you know that?" He said, lifting his chin proudly. Foxstep covered her face with her paws. Why me, she thought, WHY ME! Foxstep sat up. She thought about what a mentor needed to do.

"Um...wanna learn how to catch prey while we tour our boundaries?" She suggested. Airpaw's eyes bulged, his tail going straight up.

"Are you kidding!" Foxstep shrugged.

"Maybe-" She began.

"YES!" Airpaw sprinted out of the enterance. Oh he's so full of energy, Foxstep thought again as her body emerged into the warm air, how do i cope with that? Most of the warriors were in the clearing, especially the Dawn Patrol, arriving from the west of Foxstep and Airpaw. Foxstep led Airpaw around, almost running into Rainsplash as they entered the forest.

"Oh, hui!" she meowed in a muffled voice, her fangs holding onto a small vole covering her mouth. The scent of fresh-kill wafted into Foxstep's nostrils, and Airpaw's.

"That's a BIG Mouse!"

"Vole," Foxstep corrected.

"Whatever you call it!" Airpaw's eyes gleamed. Rainsplash edged closer to Foxstep.

"So how's it going Foxey?" Foxstep's ears flattened.

"Could be better," she sighed, "I don't know why Tornstar called me to mentor Airpaw! I don't even have experience, or know what to do!"

"You'll get used to it," Rainsplash encouraged her, placing her tail tip on Foxstep's shoulder, but she just shrugged in return. The two cats then left Rainsplash, heading into the forest nearby the lake. Foxstep first trampled over the twigs and roots, reaching the lake, Airpaw a tail-length behind.

"This is basically the lake," Foxstep meowed, lifting her paw. The breeze was blowing smoothly through both of their fur. Airpaw frowned.

"That's it?" Foxstep felt herself edge onto annoyance.

"The lake provides us with food and water. None of the Clans can live without it's resources." Airpaw nodded. They next traveled to the boundaries, where the stench of the RiverClan boundaries flooded into their nostrils too.

"Ew, fish," Airpaw wrinkled his black nose, "Does it always smell like that?"

"Just shut-" Foxstep cut off as a RiverClan cat came into view, swimming across the river to both of them. Foxstep gulped, oh please don't come to us... The grey cat then came up onto the land, walking towards them. Water dripped down his fur, making it slope down on his belly. His eyes were pure blue, like water on a beach.

"Hi, we didn't do anything-" Foxstep tried to explain, before Airpaw blurted out.

"Dang you do smell like dead fish!"

"AIRPAW!"

"No its, alright, i get that quite often." the tom meowed. He shook, the water flying onto the ground in splats. His fur shined like silverware in the sun.

"You guys touring your area?" The tom wondered.

"Yes," Foxstep glared down at her apprentice, "I wanted to show him the boundaries."

"That's good," The tom relaxed, "I was just getting a swim in, perhaps going to fish too."

"You fish alone?" Foxstep was surprised. The grey tom shrugged.

"I suggest it, that way cats don't mess me up, or scared the fish outta the water."

"That makes sense," Foxstep agreed. The tom's ears pricked as he glanced up to the sun in the sky. Foxstep was surprised that this tom actually wasn't rough like other RiverClan cats.

"I better go."

"Ok." Foxstep watched as the tom waved goodbye with his tail, before plummeting back into the water.

"Wait!" Airpaw cried out. The tom stopped as he was emerging on his side.

"What's your name, just so i know?" He meowed.

"Waterfang!" He called back, "Nice to meet you both." He vanished behind a tree, and his scent vanished with him. Foxstep turned, with Airpaw trotting next to her.

"That was rude."

"But its true!" Airpaw complained, his mouth gaped with his fangs exposed in the air.

"Whatever," She spat, anger rising in her throat. Airpaw lowered his head, and for once, Foxstep felt upset for him.

"Tell you what, lets go hunting now. Its better to learn at a younger age, like you."

"Really?"

"Yep." Airpaw's tail shot up.

"Alright, let me show you," Foxstep froze in her step, flattening herself as the scent of a mouse rose nearby.

CHAPTER 3

Its been 4 moons since Foxstep was offered an apprentice, and things were going well for the apprentice. He grew tall and strong, and became the greatest hunter in ShadowClan, and Tornstar was impressed by Foxstep's work and Airpaw's progress.

"I want to make Airpaw a warrior in a moon," Tornstar said to Foxstep later that Tuesday night. Foxstep's eyes went wide.

"Really?" Tornstar nodded his head, his whiskers lowering with his jaws as he bit down to eat Foxstep's fresh kill she offered when she went on a hunting patrol.

"But he has to master his assessment first." Foxstep felt her stomach lurch. The assessment was tough, especially since it was the beginning of leaf-bare. It would be cold, wet, and everything in between.

"If he does this, he can become a warrior." Tornstar looked up, his eyes glowing in pride, "I glad of what your doing Fox. I knew i could trust you in doing this challenge."

"Wait, it was a challenge?" She wondered, her tail curling. Tornstar nodded.

"For what?"

"Deputy." He meowed. Foxstep's stomach lurched again.

"Your replacing STORMSKY?" She gasped.

"No." Tornstar was calm, lowering his belly to the floor of the den, "When he becomes leader, i want you to become the next deputy. You have shown your skills unlike any other warrior." Foxstep shrugged.

"Besides Sunstreak."

"True," Tornstar shuffled his paw, "But you have the passion and determination, and strength, which defines what a good leader is. I know your ready. We all know that." Foxstep's heart grew in pride. Her leader was actually making her deputy after he died! Suddenly, Tornstar sniffed the air, and his eyes grew wide like owl eyes.

"Something's wrong-" Seconds later, a high pitch wail echoed the den and all around the camp. Both cats rushed out into the clearing, now streaking with the sun's light. Goldentail was racing up the side of the pines towards Tornstar.

"Goldenta-"

"You gotta help me! My son is missing!" Foxstep rushed passed her. Airpaw! Was it him? Foxstep almost ran into another cat, white with a black nose.

"Airpaw?"

"Foxstep!" His eyes were swollen with grief.

"What is it?" Foxstep noticed his body shaking.

"Its Thrushpaw! I can't find him anywhere, and there's blood all over his bedding!" Foxstep busted into the apprentice den, pushing through Willowpaw and Fishpaw, and finding herself staring at red moss, with scratches all over the soil. There was a tooth implanted into the ground, casting a deadly shadow on the beddings. Carefully, Foxstep grabbed it with her teeth, then dropped it in front of Tornstar after walking to his den. Tornstar took in a deep sniff, before pulling back. Stormsky was with him, eyes wide as he took in the stron scent.

"Fox." Foxstep muttered, "Its scented of a fox." Tornstar's pelt fluffed up in worry.

"I know he's still alive though, it doesn't seem as though it was more than one fox." He reassured. Padding past Foxstep and brushing his still fluffed fur and tail on her chest, he stood up to face the clan. Somewhat before he could even yell, the cats were already crowding the area.

"Don't be nervous about our disappearing apprentice," He yowled, trying to calm the clans, "But I know that he is still alive out there. I would like to send a group of cats to search for him, but also find the creature responsible for this, which we believe is a fox." Mummers of agreement flew through the clan. Stormsky turned to the ShadowClan leader.

"Are you sure about this? You don't even know how many foxes there could be, or if he's even alive. I wouldn't suggest sending-"

"This is my decision Storm, not yours." Stormsky shuddered.

"But-"

"ITS FINAL OK! This is to ensure our safety, instead of losing more of our clan. This is to show how we are stronger than any other clan out there!" Tornstar lashed his tail. Foxstep backed up. Stormsky ran in front of Tornstar, his pelt rippling angrily. Foxstep could see their resemblence easily, father and son.

"Tornstar, your killing your clan by sending them to death! Don't do this!"

"Leave me alone Stormsky!" Tornstar spat, rasing a claw. Foxstep's heart froze. But then, Tornstar brought it back down, making an explosion of dust. Foxstep made a sigh of relief. Tornstar then turned around, facing Foxstep.

"Order a patrol to sweep the area. Find Thrushpaw." Foxstep nodded, sweat rushing down her face.

"Take Airpaw with you too. I don't want to lose another good apprentice," Tornstar concluded. He turned to his den, shot Stormsky a look, then vanished in the shadows.

CHAPTER 4

It was night. The patrol hadn't seen any trace of a fox anywhere. It seemed like magic. No signs of Thrushpaw were found either, not even a scent of either apprentice or fox. Foxstep was settling into her bed for the night. Silverpelt twinkled in the sky above the warrior den, making the ground glow. Rainsplash laid down next to Foxstep.

"Nothing, not even a trace of him anywhere," Rainsplash sighed, "What if he is gone for good?" Foxstep didn't reply. She felt horrified for not finding the apprentice, and not a scent in any of the clans. Her paws felt sore from walking for miles around only their territory.

"I'm tired Rainsplash. I'm sorry." Foxstep lowered her head, closing her eyes. Instantly, paws were striking her on the back. Foxstep shrieked, alert. The moon was now on the other side of the sky.

"Foxstep!" Firesong was shaking her.

"What?"

"ITS AIRPAW!" He cried out. Foxstep's eyes went wide. Swiftly, they both busted through the den entrance, racing towards the apprentice den. Foxstep's heart lurched when she saw Goldentail curling around another moss bedding, streaked with blood.

"No..." Foxstep backed up "NO...NO...NOO!"

"Fox-" before Firesong could do anything, Foxstep raced into the forest. Calls for her name echoed behind her, floating into the night. Her sore paws ached painfully beneath her arms. Her body shook in horror as the trees cast shadows from the moonlight. Foxstep suddenly heard pawsteps behind her. Quickly, she spun around, waiting for a fox to attack her. Unfortunately, it was Firesong trampling on top her. He landed on her, putting his paws on her face and chest.

"Firesong, let me GO! I going to find him!" She hissed and cried, tears rushing down.

"Foxstep! I'm sorry its no use." Firesong drooped his head, "He's gone like Thrushpaw." A large noised then rushed through the ground and the air. Both ShadowClan cats went silent.

"What was that?" Both cats looked up into the dark forest. It was hard enough to see anything, especially with the trees covering the ground. It was dead silent. Suddenly, another noise flew through the air.

"It's Airpaw!" Foxstep's heart surged with pride. But his yowl wasn't a call, it was a help call.

"Come on!" She called, racing into the darkness. She lifted her ears, taking in Airpaw's calls, which were turning into,

"HELP ME PLEASE! SOMEONE PLEASE!"

"Hold on!" Foxstep screamed over the roaring wind. Sounds of yelps and hisses, mixed with the sounds of battle echoed her ears. A strong scent came into her nostrils. Suddenly, Foxstep came across a white bundle of fur laid silently in the darkness. Foxstep scrambled over to the body, sliding on the ground to reach the tom. It was Airpaw! And he was alive! He turned up to look up at his mentor.

"Foxstep?"

"Yes its me little one!" She sighed, curling herself around Airpaw. Gashes and cuts were drawn all over his body. There was a deep one that was sliced through his face, cutting his eye like a line. Airpaw struggled to stand to face Foxstep.

"What happened?" Foxstep wondered steppig back from him. Airpaw's eyes went wide as he peered into the darkness.

"They're coming..."

"What?" Firesong was now approaching them, panting wildly.

"They're coming...They're coming...I know what happened to Thrushpaw..." He moaned. His heart began to beat faster.

"What it coming-" Firesong cut off as the sound of a breaking stick broke the silence. Airpaw's ears pricked up, his tail lowering. Foxstep's heart began to race. What's coming?

Airpaw pointed his bleeding paw,

"Them." All at once, orange figures began entering the moonlight, teeth flashing red, eyes glowing, and snarling at the three cats. Foxes, Foxstep thought, ''Eight of them! Oh StarClan please help us''. Firesong lowered his head to the two cats on the ground.

"We need to leave-" The nearest foxes let out a loud snarl.

"RIGHT NOW!" Foxstep grabbed Airpaw's scruff, pulling him away as the nearest fox lunged at Airpaw. He suddenly called out.

"Guys, stop! We're gonna lead them to camp!" He shook himself off of Foxstep's teeth, landing painfully on the ground.

"I'm fighting them, who's with me?" Firesong and Foxstep exchanged glances. The foxes suddenly appeared quickly in front of them, their stench of flesh and sweat exposed at them all. Airpaw's eyes went wide as the fox jumped up into the air towards him, covering him in a shadow of death. With a cry, Foxstep crashed into the fox, smashing the dog into the ground. Another fox ran past her, but Airpaw swung hard, marking a slice on the fox's face. It whined once, before rushing away. Firesong, was battling another one, but was joined by another fox.

"FIRESONG!" Foxstep shrieked. She glanced at him, falling back on his spine pinned. The world turned upside down, a forest of legs rushing around Foxstep. Pain struck her in the chest, and another fox claw rammed her in the ear. She slashed up at the belly of another fox about to strike her. It yelped, tumbling onto Firesong's foxes. Airpaw rushed after them, pulling at their ears and digging his claws into their flanks. The foxes then trampled back, racing into the forest in agony and fear. The forest finally fell into silence. All three cats sat on the ground in pain, panting wildly. Foxstep groaned as she sat up from being slammed onto the ground. Airpaw was shaking, licking his gashes while wincing.

"We need to get back to camp." Firesong winced, a deep gash on his flank. Foxstep didn't realize how hurt they both were, and how hurt she was.

"What about Thrushpaw? Foxstep asked as she stood up, limping to the frozen apprentice. He closed his eyes.

"He didn't make it. I saw his bones.' Tears rushed through Airpaw, and Foxstep felt the pain for him, especially losing his only sibling.

"I'm sorry." Airpaw nodded, turning around into the darkness towards camp. A sudden shriek ran out from the apprentice.

"Tornstar! I uh-"

"I understand..." Tornstar muttered, looking down at the apprentice, at at Foxstep and Firesong. Tornstar's body seemed invisible in the trees.

"You saw everything? Why did you help?!" Foxstep cried out angrily. Tornstar turned to her.

"I wanted to see if Airpaw was worthy of a warrior." He replied. Airpaw's eyes shone.

"There's something we need to do first."

CHAPTER 5

"Airstroke!" Tornstar yowled from the tree. The Clans cheered. The white warrior blushed as every clan called out his name. Waterfang from RiverClan bumped him,

"Well done! It was about time you became a warrior!"

"Thanks." Airstroke smiled. The scar from the incident was still a memory locked onto Airstroke on his face, but also a symbol of confidence, and bravery. Foxstep felt pride through her. She did it! Rainsplash dipped her head to her.

"Told you you could do it!" She meowed. Foxstep glanced up at the sky, Silverpelt floating high and proud in the sky. Foxstep could only thank, Thanks StarClan.

'YES FINALLY!!!! I FINISHED ONE TAIL!!!!! AUAYYAYAYYAYAYYAYAYAYAYYAYAYAY LOL. AND ON THE DAY I GRADUATED!! EVEN BETTER!!! THIS IS GREAT! HOPE U LIKED IT FOXSTEP1!!!!'

2nd Tail: Waterfang And The Foxes
Since the incident with ShadowClan and with Foxstep and Airstroke, the land around the clans seemed even more deadly than before, especially since nobody knew who the creature that attacked them was. Even RiverClan seemed to be busy with commotion on the attack. Waterfang couldn't even get a goodnight rerst with all the chatter.

"Hey did you hear about the foxes?"

"All three cats faced the and won! Its a miracle."

"How did they do it?"

"I heard that Airstroke got a battle scar from it! Congrats to him!" Even the kits were playing pretend like the foxes.

"I'm going to be Airpaw! I will beat you down you nasty foxes!" Witherkit hissed.

"Grrrr. I'm a fox with a huge appetite." Mountainkit showed his tiny teeth.

"Um, foxes don't talk," Waterfang meowed to the two, "They just attack the best they could. Sometimes even tumbling over each other. That's why they're easy to beat."

"Aren't they harder when they separate?"

"Mostly." Waterfang stood up, "I gotta go, have fun, and don't get your mother upset, she's uh, right behind you." The kits turned nervously to face Silkweb, her beady eyes locked onto them.

"Silkweb's the fox, ahhhh!" Mountainkit laughed, tumbling onto Witherkit. Waterfang could just laugh as he strolled into the center of camp. The camp seemed peaceful from before, besides the immence amount of chatter of last night. Waterfang grew worried, they're still out there, he thought, Doesn't anyone realize that we're in danger? His mate, Echolight has been pretty sleepy in the past few days, and he also was nervous for her since she was expecting kits.

"Are you ok?" He asked her later on that evening. Echolight just shifted in her mossy bedding.

"I'm scared Waterfang. I mean, what if they're stillborn? What if i die, or what if one of them is different?" She sighed, "I'm just not ready."

"Hey," Waterfang encouraged, nudging her swollen belly, "Its going to be okay. We're going to get through this. I promise I'll be there the entire way." Echolight moaned in worry. The evening sun was lowering in the distance, and the world seemed different when it did, like StarClan sparkled up the place. The center of camp began to empty up as everyone settled into bed. Silverwind and Skyheart were wandering around camp, along with Sunspot, Waterfang's previous apprentice. Waterfang watched Shimmerstar disapper into his den. Maybe he should do the same. Waterfang padded over to Silverwind and Skyheart as they entered the warrior's den.

"Did you hear about the foxes?" Silverwind meowed, eyes wide. Waterfang rolled his eyes.

"I've been hearing about it for more than one day Silverwind."

"No not that," Skyheart shifted over, "The patrol found their footprints nearby!" Waterfang's heart lurched.

"What?!"

"Yeah," Silverwind came into the conversation, "I caught there scent in the water. There's more than seven foxes this time. Its scary though, because if there is, wouldn't they be able to take over the clans?" Waterfang's neck hair bristled.

"That isn't going to happen."

"It might," Sunspot meowed as he padded into the entrance, "I've seen cats getting overpowered by foxes. Its only a matter of time before we're attacked."

"Huh," Waterfang stood up, walking slowly to his bedding.

"I'm serious Waterfang," Sunspot warned, "We're in trouble if they find us." Waterfang froze in his tracks.

"Goodnight." He meowed softly, collapsing into his warm bed. He looked up at the opening in the den at the rising night sky. The stars shone like fireflies in the sky, like eyes watching in glowing warmth and hope. And like that, he began to fall asleep.....

"Wake up!" Pebblefoot shrieked. Waterfang jumped awake, heart thundering.

"What!"

"Shhhh...." he put his paw to his own lips. Waterfang could hear growls sounding behind the den. Most of the warriors were beginning to wake up from the horrifying noise.

"Foxes!" he hissed. Pebblefoot nodded. Their shadows splintered through the den on the beddings. Pumpkintail was awake too, her eyes wide.

"Everyone be quiet!" Softwhisker meowed, her eyes shaking with her pelt. Waterfang peered over at the queens den, where Echolight was looking at him, in horror with the other queens. The growls grew louder, until finally, they began breaking into the den!

"AHH!!" Sunspot cried out as a fox claw slashed his pelt. The wood on the dens were shaking as they busted in. One managed to get in completly. Pumpkintail swiped at the fox's nose, and in response, it tossed her outside.

"RUN!" Rowanflame cried as two claws latched onto his head, dragging him backwards. His cries ceased to a halt outside.

"ROWANFLAME!!" Silverwind cried. Another howl sounded near the entrance as Milldawn sprinted outside.

"What are you guys doing, RU-" An orange figure knocked her down, slicing her like fresh-kill. She shook in pain as blood spilled onto the ground.

"NO!!" Pebbleshadow shrieked. Waterfang could just tumble back in horror as the she-cat went limp, eyes staring silently into the face of death.

"MILLDAWN!"

"Everyone run out now!!" Pebblefoot cried. At once, the warriors sprinted out, chased by the foxes. A fox threw Waterfang on the ground, its teeth bearing down upon him.

"Waterfang!!" Pumpkintail shrieked. The fox's mouth snapped like a snake, quick and repeatedly, until he hit the fox with his claws.

"StarClan help us please!!" He cried, sprinting away with the rest of the group. The kits and elders already were running after seeing Milldawn's death.

"Wait, wheres Echolight?" Waterfang's heart began to beat faster, "ECHO??" His mate's missing!!

"Waterfang, we need to go!" Pumpkintail cried out pulling him. The nursery! Waterfang turned to the den, seeing his mate pop her head out in horror. The foxes were in front of it, closing in on the other cats.

"ECHO!!" At once, one of the foxes lunged. Jumped up towards it, Waterfang slammed into the fox, running towards the den. A cat screamed nearby, distracting the foxes as Waterfang slid into the den. Echolight was there, her eyes wide and in pain. He put his paw to his mouth, silencing her. She nodded in response. The clearing suddenly went quiet. Its seemed like minutes, of silence, where Waterfang was confused.

4th Tail: Flameheart and Waterfur and the Sinkhole.
"WATERFUR?" A voice meowed, echoing in his head. Suddenly, the pain began to burn his body, and his vision finally became clear. He felt rocks, loads of them, trapped above him and around him. His breath was heavy in his lungs. A ringing noise screamed in his ears, jolting him awake. His head banged against a rock above him, which let in a bit of sunlight. He tried to move, but his body was stuck, and his paw felt irregular. His hind legs were trapped too beneath the dusty rocks. He couldn't remember what happened to him, or how he ended up this way, but it was bad.

"WATERFUR??" Waterfur squinted as he stared into the orange light.

"Hello....Help!" He yowled, wincing as he struggled to get on his paws, yet he was still trapped on his belly. He suddenly heard shuffling above him, and more weight crushing upon him. The rocks began to move nearby, and more sunlight streamed into Waterfur's face. Another face appeared in the sunlight, a she-cat with a heart shaped underbelly and orange fur, like the sun of course.

"Who are you? Nevermind, help me!" Waterfur meowed. The she-cat frowned.

"You...DON'T know me?" she gasped, as she dug deeper, "I'm Flameheart, your clanmate! Don't you know that?!"

"Not exactly, i can't really remember what happened, and everything-" Waterfur gritted his jaws as Flame pulled off the rocks from his body. His tail flung up, shaking in the wind, "Oh, now i remember. I guess i lost part of my memory."

"Well thanks to you," Flameheart's fur fluffled, "We're down here."

"Sorry."

"Can you stand?" She asked. Waterfur shook his head.

"Something's wrong with my paw." She then sniffed his paw, eyes widening.

"Well, it looks broken. I'm not a medicine cat, so i can't really fully help you Waterfur." Flameheart's heart sank.

"Where are we?"

Chapter 1
22 must become one to stop a deadly threat from their pasts.

"GAH!" Waterfang yowled as he felt his body toss and turn in an endless current of water. Blood roared in his ears, the wind howling as the rain sliced into the earth, mud growing on the banks. He tried to reach out for help, but water choked his body and filled his lungs. He saw another she-cat struggling with him, her orange fur wet and muddy.

"Help..." He struggled to get to the surface, but a strong current pulled him down. He couldn't even swim in the water and he was a RiverClan cat.

"This is how you die," A voice he could remember echoed in his ears and scorched his body, "And this is how everyone shall die!"

"NO-" Waterfang gasped as a wave threw him underwater, sticks and stones scraping his body. A sharp piece of wood slashed through his head, and pain exploded within him. The cat cried out once, before plummeting underwater and never resurfacing.

"Face it Waterfang," The voice laughed coldly, "Nobody can save you now." A large flash of lightening struck the water, and flashbacks thundered through his bones, eagles, rogues, mists, blood, explosions, and at once the world turned red as blood.

"AHH!!" Waterfang screamed, jolting awake on his bedding. His heart beat faster every second as he laid there gasping for breath. For seconds, he just laid there, listening to the irritating ringing noise in his ears, following by the snores of the warriors around him.It was just a dream, he thought to himself, shake it off. He stood up, looking down as his ruffled fur and ripped moss. Claw marks left scars in the earth, leaving little lines of four scratches. Pain bubbled on his head badly. Waterfang pushed his pads into the pain on his head, but came back wet with red liquid. Blood? His scar doesn't bleed anymore, or wasn't supposed to bleed after what happened moons ago. Waterfang glanced up at the night sky. The moon was on the far side, like a moon-set.

"It isn't even morning," He sighed, stretching his hind legs that fell asleep. He suddenly felt someone stir awake, and turned to look at his mate, Echolight.

"You're awake now?" She yawned, looking up to Waterfang with eyes of confusion. He couldn't lie to her though.

"Bad dream. That's what woke me up, but I'm okay."

"You're actually bleeding. Perhaps there's a thorn in your nest, hold on," She meowed, standing up to look at his ripped bedding.

"What the-"'

"Bad dream," He said again. Echolight looked at him in horror.

"That doesn't usually happen, but," She lowered her nose to the ground, then came back up with a piece of sharp piece of familiar wood, "Found it," Waterfang gasped, as flashback to the dream made him shudder. At once, he lost the feeling in himself, and collapsed under his own weight.

"Waterfang!" She stumbled over to him. He was sweating now, and his eyes only locked on the piece of wood.

"That was the wood i saw in my dreams, how-"

"Are you ok?" She asked nudging him.

"Yes, thanks," Waterfang rested his nose on her cheek, "Sorry i scared you, but something is wrong."

"What are you going to do?" Echolight cocked her head, "I don't even know what it means."

"Let me talk to Berryspot and Shimmerstar, they can help me understand what's coming."

Chapter 2
"RUN! Take Nightpaw and get somewhere safe! Ill lead them away from you!"

"Dad!" He screeched as the howl of dogs flooded the forest.

"Go!" His father dashed out, vanishing along with the sounds of multiple dogs following behind. His mom, carrying Nightwhisker by the scruff sprinted the other way. A scream pierced the trees, and at once, his mom knew that her mate was gone.

"Where's dad?" He asked scared. Before she could respond, a figure jumped onto the two cats, making her lose her grip on Nightwhisker.

"Nightpaw run!" She screamed as her body was being dragged on the ground. A dog knocked over Nightwhisker, and dust and dead leaves flew into the air. He swung at the dark figures, before feeling his body leave the ground. The world spun seconds later, and his paws only touch the forest air. Within moments, he slammed into a rock, pain erupting in his skull, and his vision went black.

"NO!"

"Nightwhisker wake up!" he heard a shriek from above. His eyes snapped open quickly. Flameheart was standing over him. Nightwhisker noticed his breathing increasing rapidly.

"What the, Nightwhisker, are you ok-"

"No, no..." Nightwhisker interrupted, gasping in shock. His eyes were wild, but burned in horror, "That dream, it happened before, i can remember." He stood up, his body vibrating in terror.

"You should see Mintshadepelt, she can help you out," Flameheart suggested, nudging him. Night whisker mumbled back,

"I guess. But it's not normal for me to have a dream like this. I don't know if its true but something about me is going to happen, something from my past." A scent flashed passed both of their noses as Waterfur and Bayberry padded to them.

"Hi guys," Waterfur meowed, then frowned as he looked at Nightwhisker's shaking pelt,"You don't look so good."

"I'm not good. I had a bad dream," He gasped back. Bayberry lowered her head too,

"I had a bad dream last night too, but its private-"

"YOU had one too?" Nightwhisker was surprised. Bayberry nodded, her brown tail quivering in the air.

"How come you didn't tell anyone though, we could of helped you!" Waterfur looked distressed. Bayberry shook her head, shuffling her paws into the ground.

"I got over it."

"To tell you guys the truth, i had one two nights ago," Flameheart mewed. Waterfur nodded in agreement.

"Same thing. I wonder if Mintshadepelt had one too, or any other warriors in ThunderClan."

"So what was it, like a sign? It couldn't of been miraculously back to back like that." Nightwhisker muttered.

"Or maybe an invitation." All eyes spun onto Peppercloud, who somehow appeared out of nowhere, her black and white pelt shimmering in the sun.

"You must've woken up good today, all brushed up and everyth-" Nightwhisker began.

"How do you know that?" Flameheart cocked her head interrupting him.

"During my dream, i heard a whisper, and, it sounded like someone was saying something to me, so i turned my ears towards it. It said, something about a fog, and danger, the cats who got the dream to meet tonight, and take a journey to save the clans." Waterfur exchanged glances with Flameheart, her tail swishing nervously on the ground.

"Whatever it was, we must tell Mint, or Blazestar at least for the coming gathering." Nightwhisker said, now back on his pads.

"But still," Flameheart meowed, "Aren't you guys a tiny bit concerned about, i don't know, if they think we're crazy? Like, what if they won't believe us?" All eyes turned to Waterfur. Nightwhisker flattened his ears, but then raised his tail.

"I say we tell it out loud to all the clans on the gathering night!" Flameheart's eyes went wide.

"Are you insane?!"

"No-"

"Don't you realize that-"

"Actually," Bayberry chimed in, "It might work. We can get everyone else who got the dream!" Nightwhisker nodded in agreement. Flameheart shrugged.

"Ok then," Waterfur straightened up, "What's the plan?"

Chapter 3
"Bout time i caught you!" Silverwind exclaimed, her mouth shaking as the red fish shook between her jaws. The only problem was the fact that it was still alive. Turning around to face the camp, she began slowly walking of balanced into the woods. Her mouth ached as the fish wrestled her tongue and wobbled her head in circles. Silverwind dropped it onto the ground in pain, watching it shake as it kept suffocating in the air.

"Why are you so annoying!" she hissed. The fish bounced up in reply. Angrily, she placed her paw onto the fish's body. "Stop squirming for once before you break my fang!" She meowed to it. It froze for a second, yellow and back eyes glued onto hers, before jumping back into its violent dance. Silverwind groaned. That was the part of fishing she didn't enjoy.

"Silverwind!" A yowl called from the forest. She looked up, watching as Skyheart bounded towards her.

"Sky! What's up? How are you?" She watched as he came closer to her, his fur gleaming in water.

"I'm good. Hey, did you hear that-" Skyheart peered down at Silverwind's jiggling fish. Moss and dust began collecting on it's slimy surface. He frowned.

"What the, Silverwind, you know your going to dirty the fish if you keep dropping it like that," Skyheart let out a mrrow of laughter.

"Well, maybe i could hold it, or bite it down easier if i didn't have a loose fang!" Silverwind opened her jaws to show Skyheart.

"You have a loose fang?" Skyheart flattened his ears, "That doesn't usually happen to cats around here. But, i guess its normal, have Berryspot look at it, but my suggestion is to lay off of fishing for a day or two."

Silverwind shrugged, "Whatever. Hey, where's the fish?" Skyheart turned around. The spot where it was earlier was just a spot of flattened grass. Silverwind groaned, following the scent of the fish.

"Found it!" She called to Skyheart. It was in a small ditch, like a mouse hole, and it was still jibbering and wobbling, but slowly now.

"That is definitely the worst way to die for a fish," Skyheart meowed. He lowered his head, towards the fish.

"I got it this time." He clamped his jaws around the fish, killing it easily. But as he did that, he froze. Suddenly, the world around both cats went completly dark, and Silverwind found herself falling! Crying out, she felt the ground slam into her chest and the wind drove out of her body. The air felt cold and windy, and the trees that sprung somewhat out of the ground nearby were bare and leafless.

"Skyheart...SKYHEART?" Silverwind scrambled up. She found herself buried in snow, the cold, freezing ice drops of snow tumbling from overhead. Her teeth chattered as the fresh blow of leaf-bare air froze each hair of fur. Silverwind struggled to get out of the snow, because of how deep it was, almost above her chin.

"SKYHEART?" She yowled again, trying to get a whiff of his scent, or maybe movement. Suddenly, she could hear the sudden sound of rumbling monsters nearby, growing louder by the second. She turned her ears towards it, but could barely make out what it was in the snow. A meow turned her attention to a tree, where a tom's shadow was in.

"SKYHEART! I'm coming!"

"RUN!" He screamed, "Run!" The sounds of barking came into her ears, and at once, she spotted, were they dogs? No, much worse, wolves. Maybe even more then ten, enough to count. Their teeth were stained with blood, eyes wide with fury, and Silverwind seemed to recognize this vision, as if she was there before. Quickly, she scrambled off of the snow, sprinting harder towards the tree. Her heart pounded, feeling the warm burning heat from the wolves bearing down upon her.

"HELP ME!" She yowled, before she tripped painfully on a rock, tumbling into the deep snow. Watching in horror, she braced herself as the wolves attacked, lunging on her with teeth and claws. Pain was the first thing Silverwind felt as she tried thrashing he grey dogs off her. A claw slashed her chest, another struck her in the head, another one dug deep into her ribs. Silverwind's own flesh was being ripped apart. The world flung upside down as she was thrown into the snow, then surrounded in seconds by the wolves. Blood and sweat flew into the snow as Silverwind tried fighting the wolves with no chance of surviving. Then, one of the wolves put his jaws around her own, covering her nose, making her suffocate. Silverwind screamed as she felt her body slip away, her lungs shrieking for mercy as her breath tiptoed away into darkness. Her paws dug on the ground from the intense pain she felt in her lungs. Her eyes felt heavy, blood staining her body completely, darkness taking over, until she was no more, until she was dead.

"Silver? SILVERWIND?! Wake up!" She felt her body shaking. Gasping, she awoken in the forest, Skyheart next to her, the same forest where she lived. Pain rushed over her body, nausea overcoming her head as the memories came back. Silverwind's eyes were wide in fear.

"No, no, no,"

"Silver-"

"I remember that, that time, I... I remember that moment, something happens to me about that....I..." She didn't have the words to describe it as she struggled to stand.

"Silver, what's going on-"

"We need to get to Berryspo- OW! OWOW!" Silverwind winced as her paw ran over a deep cut in her ribs, marking a sign of the wolves things, were real.

"We need to....get....to Berryspot....I need to know....what happened....because something...is happening that...i can't figure it out." Silverwind winced.

"How do you know?" Skyheart meowed. Silverwind just looked up with uncertainty,

"I just know."

Chapter 4
Swiftclaw padded up closer to Rainsplash as they both trekked along side the lake's edge towards the Gathering area. Her eyes shimmered as the moonlight shone on the territories. Swiftclaw edged closer to Rainsplash.

"I wonder what they're going to talk about in this gathering," she meowed suspicously. Rainsplash looked back at her.

"I'm not so sure, but it may be something about the greencough? Or perhaps the foxes or the sinkhole? Im not so sure, but its important to discuss the things that's been happening," Rainsplash responded. Suddenly, the ground beneath them grew hard and wooden, and Swiftclaw realized that they were now walking across the fallen tree to the gathering area. A strong scent of WindClan struck her nose, and ThunderClan was there too. Swiftclaw turned around, watching Tornstar and Foxstep sharing tongues before they reached the island. She stumbled onto the ground as she felt the wooden floor turn back into grass and earth. She stared at the numerous cats attending the gathering this moon, some of them newly-made apprentices. Her eyes shone with pride as a memory of her apprenticship came back to her head. The group walked over to the edge of the island, where they all sat down. Rainsplash sat down with her, Swiftclaw sitting near the RiverClan warriors.

"Hi," Swiftclaw meowed to one of them, a tom with silver fur.

"Hey."

"What's your name?" Swiftclaw seemed curious.

"Waterfang," He responded, his gaze settling on her, "What's yours?"

"Swiftclaw, nice to meet you."

"You too. Better be quiet now, cause the gathering's starting," Waterfang said. Swiftclaw looked up as the four leaders of the Clans stood on the high part of the tree, while in the clearing, every other cat began to settle down. The full moon casted shadows off of the four leaders, making them look strong like spirits. Tornstar, Swiftclaw's leader, was the first to speak after the introduction.

"ShadowClan has been growing strong in the last few moons. We have four new apprentices and a few kits on the way. We have overpowered the foxes last new leaf, so we are improving and growing." Swiftclaw's lifted her chin proudly as her leader finished speaking. Blazestar then came next, yet he looked upset.

"What's wrong with him?"

"Greencough," Waterfang whispered, "His brother passed, and they lost a few kits. Its horrible." Swiftclaw turned back up to the full moon shadows as the ThunderClan leader spoke.

"Things has been harsh in ThunderClan, especially since we lost two kits and Fireclaw," Mummers of horror rushed through the clans, "But, i have to congratulate Mintshadepelt for holding off the greencough, and stopping the spread, as well as saving all our lives, including mine." All the clans began cheering her name as the mint-colored she-cat arose from the crowd of cats, smiling.

"That's a great accomplishment for a medicine cat. They barely-"

"SHHHHH!!"

"We did also.....We also have discovered something in the sinkhole that Flameheart and Waterfur found moons earlier," Blazestar stuttered, "And we will discuss about it later once we figure out-"

"HOW BOUT YOU DISCUSS IT NOW!" A cat yowled in the crowd. Five cats from ThunderClan's side stood up. Swiftclaw gasped, They're not supposed to do that during a gathering!

"Nightwhisker, Flameheart, Peppercloud, Waterfur, and Bayberry?" Waterfang gasped. Swiftclaw dug her claws into the earth nervously.

"What's going on?" Blazestar hissed. Swiftclaw could see the faintest sight of anger burning in the ThunderClan leader.

"We need to speak!" Peppercloud called out, her eyes scanning the clearing, "To all of the cats in the Clans!" Blazestar was about to lunge, but Tornstar pulled him back.

"Wait, i want to hear what they have to say." Flameheart moved up so that everyone could see her flame coated pelt. A small cloud was growing up nearby the moon.

"Cats of the Clans, we have something that im sure most of you have experienced. What me and Waterfur found in the Sinkhole wasn't just pictures, it was....a prophecy. Some kind of prophecy that neither of us understood until now." All the cats gasped. Swiftclaw and Waterfang exchanged glances. Flameheart had worry in her eyes, "We understand it now, because most of our clanmates have been having dreams, of their past. If you have experienced this, can you stand up, so we're correct?" Swiftclaw's eyes went wide. She's experienced the dreams! She turned to Waterfang, who was gulping. At once, they both sat up, and miraculously, Rainsplash, Foxstep, and Firesong stood up with them. Mintshadepelt nervously got onto her pads, with Icefang, the blue grey she-cat, Birdwing, MeadowWing, and Bramblefire from WindClan. Pumpkintail, Silverwind, and Skyheart also stood in RiverClan. All the other cats around them, gasped.

"Eighteen cats?!" Silverwind meowed bewildered nearby. Swiftclaw was speechless. The leaders from above were also silent, until finally, "It's true," Shimmerstar blurted from above, "There was a prophecy, but there was twenty cats. Where's the other two?"

"Maybe their rogues?" Waterfur suggested. Flameheart behind him was proud that she was right about her assumption.

"You knew? All this time?" Waterfang hissed, "And you never told anyone, but keeping it to yourself Shimmerstar?!"

"I'm sorry. I never even told the leaders." Shimmerstar pawed the ground, "But it's true." Suddenly, a flash of lightening, struck the earth. Swiftclaw felt the ground beneath her paws wobble. What was happening? The trees around the cats wobbled in the air, as if their roots suddenly fell apart. Everyone started shrieking as the moon lit into a red moon. The shadow covered the cats, making them petrified in their positions. Swiftclaw turned to Waterfang, "What's happening?" Suddenly, a whirlwind began spinning around all the cats, strong enough to through the cats into the air. Swiftclaw lowered her body to the ground, her eyes stuck on a red glow that was lowering down to the ground. Peppercloud was the only cat that hadn't have lowered to the ground, but instead was walking over to the glow.

"Pepper! DON'T TOUCH IT!" Silverwind shrieked. But, as if she was being drawn by a trance. Without thinking, Swiftclaw bolted fowards, slamming her body into Peppercloud as she was about to touch it. But as she did that, Swiftclaw accidently fell right into the white globe. Waterfang and Silverwind rushed forwards to catch her, while the other cats sat horrified. As she touched it, she felt a powerful streak of energy burning through her body. Pain flamed around her body, and an explosion from the globe flung her into the ground, knocking Silverwind, Peppercloud, and Waterfang backwards. Then, everything stopped. The air felt fresh again, and the noise silenced to a halt. Swiftclaw's body was cold, her body shaking in the ground.

"Swift!" Rainsplash's voice echoed in her head. Her claws uncontrollably kept sheathing and unsheathing in the earth, while her blood ran cold in her flesh. Her eyes felt icy as she opened them. Her eyes! She could see stronger for some reason. Like she could see Foxstep shuddering behind the tall tree. How is the possible? She tried to stand, or move, but not a muscle moved in her body.

"Guys, help me, I can't move! I can't move, i can't move..."

"Did you break anything?" Mintshadepelt's voice echoed behind her as her paws stumbled near her.

"No, i just can't move, I can't feel anything, only my eyes! Oh what did they do to me?" She looked up, watching Waterfang and Silverwind groan as they sat up. They looked different too for some reason.

"Who?"

"StarClan!" Swiftclaw cried. She felt Mintshadepelt press her paws into her sides, then to her tail, which looked lifeless.

"Am i paralyzed?" Swiftclaw was close to tears. Mintshadepelt lifted up, frowning.

"I don't know what it is. How do you feel?" she asked.

"I can't explain it.... i feel cold and energetic, and i could see stronger for some reason." She felt footsteps nearby.

"Swiftclaw! No, no, no, im so sorry, it was my fault for this, im sorry!" Swiftclaw looked up to the black and white cat, her body shaking too as she nudged Swiftclaw's limp body. She couldn't smell either! What was happening to her?

"This gathering is over." Blazestar yowled to the cats, as they began crowding around Swiftclaw's body. Mintshadepelt wandered off to Tornstar, who was helping Waterfang to his paws. Swiftclaw could somewhat also hear them speaking from far away too!

"Can i bring Swiftclaw with me to my clan, I've never seen anything like her condition, and i would want to see if i could help her." Mint meowed.

"I can't let another one of my greatest warriors never fight again or walk," Tornstar muttered, "Blazestar?" The old leader sighed.

"Sure, but she can't be feeding off of the clan's fresh-kill pile. She'll have to get food elsewhere."

"But she can't even move!"

"Then you find food for her Mint! She's your responsibility now," Blazestar hissed. Mintshadepelt narrowed her eyes.

"Fine." Swiftclaw looked up to the medicine cat as she padded over to her.

"Let me take her Mint," Blazestar suggested. Swiftclaw felt him grab her by the scruff, lifting her off the ground, and placing her on his back. She still could move, so it was harder for her and him to balance.

"Bye Swift!" Rainsplash mewed, before the forest swallowed the gathering center into darkness.

Chapter 5
"C'mon Emeraldheart, we're nearly to the summit!" Lapis meowed behind her. The tom behind gasped as he took another great step up the mountain, almost slipping on a rock.

"Just to let you know, THIS WAS YOUR IDEA TO LEAVE HOME!"

"Well, i got bored of it," Lapis responded agitated. She stumbled on the last step, before finally looking over to an amazing view.

"Well i didn't!" Emerald kicked a nearby pebble, "I like the clan cats, especially all the she-cats, they were nice. I was supposed to have something with my medicine cat....What are you doing?"

"Woah." Lapis gasped as the sun's light lit up the world below her. She saw the numerous of houses that strecthed out for miles, and the other side, where a lake and a huge forest stretched out for miles with the Twoleg town.

"Emerald, come see this!" Lapis mewed.

"Uh, we have a problem, why is there a giant fart cloud following us?" Lapis spun around, facing a giant cloud of fog, approaching them. Lapis suddenly sprinted down the mountain. Something wasn't right about the cloud.

"Emerald, come on!" Lapis yelled behind her.

"Woah, that's a nice house! And look at all those Twolegs at the park! HI PEOPLE-" Lapis scrambled up the mountain, grabbed Emeraldheart, then tumbled downhill into the forest. Lapis felt her body scrape the sharp rocks underneath her, ripping her pads at one point, before striking the ground.

"Hey, what was that all about?" Emeraldheart hissed, "I was waving at the Twolegs, I looked like the Lion King cat!"

"I'm sorry, i was trying to get away-"

"From fog? Or fartclouds? You know they're both harmless right?"

"I thought it was the Mist of Time! I though we were doomed!" Lapis scraped the ground with her claws, wincing as her cut pad hit the earth.

"Ooh, your cut!"

"DUH!" Lapis rolled her eyes as she painfully began licking the cut. The sunlight around them began to turn orange, maing the sky darker and darker

"The sooner we get to the Clans, like what Bertha said, the better."

"What clans? You mean clams? Are we eating SEAFOOD!"

"GAH!" Suddenly, a voice from nearby stopped Lapis in her tracks.

"What was that?"

"Hey!" Hollywhiker yowled as she scrambled down hill.

"Hollywhisker? I thought that-" Lapis began.

"Well, you thought wrong. I'm coming with you if you like it or not,"

"Fine," Lapis smiled, "At least we have two normal she-cats in this group!"

"Hey!" Emeraldheart snapped, "I'm cool too! Right? Do i still.....Nevermind. Lets go!"

Chapter 6
Silverwind felt funny. After what happened yesterday, things seemed different. Mostly, she felt to sore to walk anywhere, but she also seemed to accidentally jump into conversations that were father than her reach. Like as if she could hear father from her place.

"Silverwind hasn't been feeling well," Skyheart meowed to Pumpkintail and Echolight later on, "Something's wrong with her that happened yesterday."

"Waterfang's been query too since the gathering," Echolight mewed to Skyheart, "They're both changing."

"But why? And into what?"

"Lemme talk to her." Silverwind looked up as Pumpkintail and Skyheart walked through the ferns of the medicine cat den towards her.

"Are you feeling weird by any chance?" Skyheart wondered. Silverwind's tail thumped the ground.

"No."

"Are you sure?"

"Well, i'm cold. A little hungry too, as if i lost all my energy for hunting and fighting. I don't know." Silverwind looked down at the ground in worry.

"That's normal, i guess. C'mon lets go," Pumpkintail said. Silverwind watched as her friends walked out of the den. Anxiousness spread rapidly in her heart. What was happening to her? Was her senses growing stronger?

--- Moons Later-

Swiftclaw felt the morning sun blaze onto her fur. Sweat dripped down her hairs as she awoken in the medicine cat den of ThunderClan. The memories slid into her brain as the thought of yesterday seemed like minutes ago. However, it was more like days ago. Her body still ached, but it was warmer, not cold. She rubbed her painful skull as she stood up. Wait, she stood up? Swiftclaw's eyes went wide. She could move!

"MINT!" Swiftclaw cried happily as she stumbled up. She busted through the other side of the den, running into Mintshadepelt on the way out. Both she-cats tumbled onto the ground, knocking down some peppermint by accident.

"What's wrong with you today, you gave me a fright-" Mintshadepelt froze as she glanced at Swiftclaw's body.

"Your walking! YOUR WALKING!"

"I know!" She cried happily. But then, Swiftclaw stopped abruptly.

"Why is the ground shaking so much though?" Swiftclaw felt the ground vibrating under her paws. The noises around her seemed louder than before too.

"What?"

"And the noises, they're louder. Am i still ok Mint?"

"It looks like it. But before you can actually go back to your clan, i want to see if your able to do what you normally do."

"Like hunting and fighting?'

"Yes," Mintshadepelt placed her tail onto Swiftclaw, "Its important that your still fine." Swiftclaw looked up to the medicine cat, then sighed.

"Well," Swiftclaw meowed, "Its worth a try!"

Chapter 7
"They told you what?!" Hollytuft gasped at Icefang. It was closing in on midnight as the moon rose above the clouds on WindClan, and Icefang had a vision.

"StarClan actually talked to me!" She breathed. Hollytuft was on the edge of confusion for her clanmate.

"What did they say?" Hollytuft wondered, stopping Icefang's shaking.

"I couldn't hear them right," She meowed, "But i think they told us and the other 19 cats to join together tonight, becasue i think they may talk to us."

"Now how am i going to believe that?" Hollytuft felt dumb, "I don't really believe that i was part of this."

"Not so sure though, but I want to know what StarClan has planned for us. The gathering wasn't an accident, it was on purpose of what they did to Swiftclaw." Icefang looked serious, "And if they called me out and you, i wouldn't ignore it."

"But how do you know they actually did it, it could be mouse-brained dreams!" Hollytuft examined her claws.

"Im just," Icefang sighed, "Im just certain that they called us for a reason." Hollytuft looked up to her, still surprised and confused.

"Well, if you believe that they called, i think you should get everyone else!" Hollytuft mumbled. Icefang shot a look at her, "Your coming too!"

"Wait-"

"Yep!"

"Wait, i wan't a part of this Ice fang, why should i go? Plus, its been a long day, lets get some sleep."

---

Rainsplash was closing in on sleep, when something dabbed her. The cold wind was enough, and it was hard to go to sleep, but she believe that dab on her was just from another cat.....zzzzzzzzz

"RAINSPLASH!"

"WHAT!" Rainsplash jolted up, banging her head against the side of the den. Pain shot uip in her skull as she faced the two shadows staring at her.

"Foxstep? What do you want?" She whispered in a moan as she rubbed her aching head

"Its not Fox," The figures spoke, then entered the den, showing their pelt colors. Rainsplash gasped.

"Bayberry? Icefang? Why are you here you could get caught!" Rainsplash hissed, watching her clanmates's chest heaving and lower in every breath of their sleep.

"We need you for something that i hope,' Bayberry turned to Icefang,"Is important."

"So did you literally go through every clan waking everyone up?!" Rainsplash's eyes went wide. Bayberry shook her head,

"No, well er.... yes. But we didn't get caught-"

"How could you too that, OF COURSE YOU CAN GET CAUGHT!" Rainsplash meowed.

"What's going on?" Another voice echoed the room as Foxstep arose from her sleep. Rainsplash held her head in her paws, Oh no...

"We need her too," Icefang called from behind.

"SHHHHHH!!"

"What the-"

"Fox, its not what you think-" Rainsplash began.

"I i know what i think, TRESSPASSERS!" Foxstep snarled from the ground unsheathing her claws.

"SHHHHHH!!!"

"Foxstep stop! They're not enemies or treespassing, well..." Rainsplash cocked her head, "I actually think you guys are though."

"We didn't come all the way from WindClan to be insulted!" Another voice outside the den complained, which was Hollytuft.

"Rainsplash, how can you trust these two?" Foxstep hissed.

"I Think they're trying to help! Remember yesturday? I think they're telling us something?"

"Like what, fall into their trap?"

"NO!"

"SHHHHHH!!" Icefang shushed them again, "We came here to bring you to the Island so we can talk to StarClan!"

"HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?" Foxstep cried out.

"What's going on?" Another voice awoken from the warriors sleeping. Foxstep gasped.

"Firesong, um, er....We can explain!"

"INTRUDERS!"

"SHHHHHHHH! Why is ShadowClan so annoying?!" Icefang hissed.

"We need him too!"

"What do you want, do you need everyone to wake up in the Clan, cause i swear, i will do it!" Foxstep dug her claws into the earth

"NO!" They cried out in unision.

"SHHHH!!"

"Can someone please explain to me what the heck is going on?" Firesong cried. Then the den went silent. At once, everyone started talking.

"Guys!" Another tom sprang into the action, "Its your going or not, its not that complicated for ShadowClan warriors!" Waterfang snapped. All mouths went silent.

"Well, Waterfang's here, so im going!" Rainsplash meowed to her two clanmates.

"Fine...." Firesong sighed, "We'll go-"

"Hold up-"

"C'mon, its not that we're being tricked, we're just going on a stroll....somewhere," Rainsplash mumbled. Foxstep rolled her eyes, licking her fangs.

"Ok, we'll go, under one condition."

Chapter 8
MeadowWing felt strange sitting in the island all alone, with nobody here. It was dead silent, and it felt weird to be in an area where most of the chatter happens. Her tail thumped on the ground, blowing away some dust and dying leaves. She wondered why her friends also left her here, cold and lonely. But even as he sat there, she grew tired ans sleepy. Its past midnight, she thought, is this really a good time to talk with strangers about something they presume will happen here? Suddenly, her ears turned to the side as noises from the bushes nearby began to wobble. And out came everyone.

"MeadowWing!" Bramblefire, her clanmate gasped, "Your here too?"

"Yeah, i got the dreams like everyone else," She meowed back happily. Soon enough, she counted about eighteen cats in the clearing, each from a different clan. The wind seemed to die down in the distance, making the leaves float to a top. Icefang looked around, then frowned, "I think we're missing a few cats. Are you sure you got everyone Bayberry?"

"Ummmm...." Bayberry's claws dug into the earth, "I'm not sure-" The bushes then exploded as two she-cats busted into the clearing. Everyone was surprised and gasping.

"Swiftclaw?!" Bayberry's eyes went wide," You're ok!"

"Nailed it!" Mintshadepelt's eyes were wide with hope for Switfclaw. Waterfang stumbled over to the medicine cat.

"How did you fix her?"

"Well, i'm not sure, just fed her some poppy seeds and other ingredients, and after a while, she was fine!" Mintshadepelt concluded. Waterfang lifted his eyebrow.

"That's it?"

"Well, we're all here," Bramblefire yowled, "So shouldn't something be happening?" The clearing just went silent as the moon sailed slowly overhead. It seemed like this until Flameheart spoke up.

"Unless there are three extra arrivals?"

"Three?" Hollytuft wondered, "How do you know they're is three-" Her sentence was cut off as three figures busted through the ferns into the gathering area. Waterfang dropped low immediately, baring his fangs.

"Get back?"

"What are you doing?" One of them spoke, her eyes swollen in pain. Flameheart stepped foward.

"Lapis? Emerald?! HOLLY!" Flameheart tumbled towards them happily. Waterfang cocked his head.

"You KNOW these cats?" Flameheart turned around, tail high in excitement.

"Well yes! I see them every night around the mountainous area!" Waterfang stood up from his crouch, sheathing his claws, leaving a mark in the earth.

"Ok. But are they part of this thing?" Waterfang waved his tail around everyone.

"Yes, i think, right Lapis?"

"Yea, i believe so Flame!" Lapis answered. Suddenly, a gust of wind began blowing the trees to one side, leaves fluttering off its branches. Swiftclaw backed up in worry, thinking that the same thing will happen to her again. The moon flashed a white glow, and all at once, cats, their pelts flashing golden sparkles began running from the sky to the surface. Hollywhisker's eyes widened in wonder as the cats of StarClan circled all of them, tons of cats, their eyes sparkling with bravery and strength and hope. A few cats from the large group began advancing to the twenty three cats in the center. Mintshadepelt felt pride as the walked closer,

"I know all these cats."

"How?" Hollytuft gasped

"I speak with them," she purred, "In the Moonpool."

"Hello," The first one spoke, his pelt flaming like fire, "Its a pleasure to meet all of you." Waterfang's heart leaped.

"Are you Firestar?" He asked.The tom dipped his head, then another tom entered next to him.

"I'm Tallstar, and that's Onestar, Bluestar, Crookedstar, Blackstar, Mistystar, and Rowanstar."

"We've been watching all of you as you experienced a tale of time of your history, become the most difficult part of your life. And we've been watching all of you for a reason, even your rogue friends." Mistystar meowed.

"Nice to...meet....StarClan, heh" Lapis studdered, her eyes wide.

"So why did you call us then?" Birdwing asked. The leaders exchanged glances, then Firestar spoke.

"There's a danger coming to the Clans-"

"All great here we go again!" Emeraldheart rolled his eyes.

"EMERALD!" Flame growled.

"Its ok. But this is serious. And it may decide the fate of the Clans." Firestar concluded.

"There's a danger coming from the mountains, a place called the Mists of Time," Blackstar meowed. Lapis shuddered, her ears flattening.

"Its a dangerous place, and it has turned towards the Clans." Mistystar said.

"I think we saw it earlier," Hollywhisker spoke up, "Isn't it a foglike place? And if so, can't we blow it away?" Tallstar purred, "The easy solution isn't always the best Hollywhisker. Sometimes, even those decisions can turn on you?"

"What is it anyway? Why is it so dangerous?" Pumpkintail mewed.

"The Mist of Time is a place where.....your past enemies and places, become real." Bluestar meowed. Waterfang's eyes bulged, his heart thumping faster.

"Say what?!" Emeraldheart gasped.

"You heard," Mistystar said, "Your past can kill you."

"That's why its called the Mist of Time!" Birdwing finished.

"The ball of light from the gathering moons ago," Bluestar meowed, "It advanced some of your seneses, like Swiftclaw, Waterfang, Peppercloud, and Silverwind. It is to protect you, and you must figure out what you can do, and how you could stop the Mists of Time."

"But then, why do you need us specifically?" Swiftclaw frowned, "And if we're going in there, are we all coming out alive?" the clearing grew silent, and the leaders lowered their heads. Bayberry and Firesong's whiskers twitched.

"What....are you guys...saying?" Foxstep asked. Firestar padded over to them slowly.

"Unfortunately, some of you may....die," Firestar meowed. Waterfang's eyes went to the ground in shock. Flameheart's stomach lurched in fear. The leaders exchanged glances of sorrow.

"I'm sorry."

"For setting us up?!" Hollywhisker hissed, "You mean we came all this way to die?! Thats mouse-brained!"

"Its going to happen you guys, and you can't stop it. Not all of you will survive in there."

"But," Waterfang stepped forwards, "What if, since im guessing, if its the Mists of Time, we can't technically die in the past. So, if we do die, won't we still be alive if some of us some out alive?"

"I suppose..." Onestar trailed off. Firestar walked towards his trembling body.

"Why?!" Waterfang shook in horror. The leaders just looked at him.

"Its complicated-"

"Complicated?!" Waterfang's eyes widened. Bluestar walked up to him.

"Waterfang, if you dont stop this, our existence will be gone. If any of you dont do anything about this, your world will be a bunch of cat bones. You have to go in there and stop 20 of your worst past life enemies and events. If not, then itll attack the Clans. This is the only way. We chose you for a reason guys. Becasue you each had a tale, a tale of your lives that mean something important to Warrior history. This is another one. You can't fail this time." Bluestar concluded. Waterfang squeezed his eyes closed, crushing the ground from beneath him with his claws, before looking up.

"I'm in," Waterfang proposed, "I really don't care if i die or not, i want to help my clan," He turned around, "And any other clan." Everyone hesitated, looking at each other, then at Waterfang. Flameheart stood up,

"Im in!"

"Us two!" Lapis and Hollywhisker stood up. Bayberry, Silverwind, and Icefang stood up next.

"We're in!"

"Count us in!" Pumpkintail, Bramblefire, Peppercloud, and Mintshadepelt stood up next.

"Foxstep, c'mon!" Firesong stood up. Foxstep came next, sighing. Hollytuft, Swiftclaw, and MeadowWing came along next.

"Us too!" Skyheart and Rainsplash stood up too, "We're going to kick some clouds!"

"Us two, although we haven't even said a word," Nightwhisker stood with Waterfur and Birdwing. Everyone turned to Emeraldheart, who hasn't stood up yet. He sighed, closing his eyes.

"Well, i wasn't expecting this type of agreement of death, but," He stood up, "I'll help!" Waterfang smiled, then turned to the leaders, who too were smiling.

"Ok, now what's the plan?" Waterfang asked.

Chapter 9
"So that's what it looks like?" Nightwhisker gasped as the group stared out at the approaching fog from below. It's been a few days since the group had left the clans, now miles away from home. The fog looked deadly, as if its appearence showed it. And it was moving fast.

"Are you ready for this?" Flameheart whispered to Foxstep. She nodded in return. MeadowWing turned around, glancing at the world behind them, which was shining from the sun's glow. Swiftclaw's eyes gew scared as the fog began rushing up the hil towards them.

"We're all going to make it, i know we will," Pumpkintail encouraged her. Silverwind and Skyheart were eye locked on the fog as it edged closer, from meters, to tails lengths, until it was large enough to see through.

"Ok, Ok, StarClan, please protect us..." Hollytuft shook, the Mists of Time now blocking out the sun. The world grew dark as it began surrounding them whole. Behind them was a scene of beauty, now gone by a cloud of death. Emeraldheart shook as the sunlight began to vanish around them. It began to become harder to look at each other becasue of how cloudy it was in the Mists of Time. Waterfang took a deep breath out.

"We're in the Mists of Time..." The noises around them, ceased to a halt, except for the clouds and wind. Now, they were all on their own in a deadly place. Flameheart spoke up.

"We should split up,"

"What!" Emeraldheart gasped.

"We should though," She meowed, "We'll not only cover more ground, but we'll be able to take dow more of our past seperate, than all together. That way, we stop the Mists of Time early!"

"I don't know," Silverwind wondered, "We'll become more vulnerable seperated, right?"

"Not if we're tough!" Lapis reminded the group.

"Nightwhisker, Waterfang, Icefang, Pumpkintail, Foxstep and I should be a group!" Flameheart meowed.

"Silverwind, Skyheart, Mint, Bayberry, Hollywhisker, and Hollytuft should be another!"

"Lapis, Emeraldheart, Rainsplash, Firesong, Swiftclaw, and Peppercloud together."

"Birdwind, MeadowWing, Waterfur, and Bramblefire should be the last group!" Flameheart concluded.

"Well, i guess this is it then," Waterfur mewed. All of the cats lookde at each other in worry.

"See you guys on the other side..." Pumpkintail said to the group as all of them split up, padding into the forever lost Mists of Time.

Chapter 10
Firesong, felt nervous as his paws raked the cloudy floors. The wind flew softly, as if waiting for something to happen. He felt nervous since he too had no idea where they're go, where they're going, where they even are, And how they'd be able to get home, or back with each other. Shadowclan was his only home, and it dawned on him that in some point in time, someone's going to die. His group's been trekking for what seemed like hours, until finally, they found themselves surrounded by lush green trees and tall pines unlike any other. The sun flashed onto everyone's back, casting a dark glow onto the ground.

"Is this the first past, or is it a dream?" Emeraldheart wondered, tail floating in the wind, "It seems pretty happy and empty here!"

"Looks can be deceiving Emerald," Swiftclaw meowed. They turned around, watching as the fog vanished into nothing. Firesong frowned, i guess we have to kill the villains to get it back. Suddenly, a loud yelp startled the group as Peppercloud bounced into the air. An orange and grey figure darted through the group's legs.

"Not squirrels!"

"Why not, its fresh-kill!" Rainsplash tasted the scent of the squirrel as it drifted away.

"I have a feeling this is mine," Peppercloud shook, "I hate squirrels."

"You do? Then what do you eat?" Firesong was surprised.

"Ummmmmmm.....Mouse?"

"Good grief..." Firesong rolled his eyes, "This should be easy."

"Its not what it looks like guys, im serious!" Peppercloud meowed. The group kept walking, until they reached a wide opening, stretching out farther than their eyes can see into the distance.

"Hey look, a squirrel!" Emeraldheart gasped," And another one, and another one, and another one......" Emeraldheart trailed off as they stared wide-eyed at a large crowd of squirrels, the amount of the distance from the forest to the horizon. It seemed like a fresh-kill wonderland, but something wasn't right. Emeraldheart dashed out into the squirrels.

"YAY, FRESH-KILL FOR DAYS, NOM NOM NOM!"

"Emerald, Hold on, i don't feel safe about all these squirrels," Lapis warned Emeraldheart, before he swallowed one. Quickly, he spat them out onto the ground.

"They said that there was one enemy that you can kill. Its gotta be one of these squirrels!" Firesong mewed, his eyes scanning the horizon of grey tails.

"But then again, that would take a while because, we can't just kill random squirrels!" Rainsplash's eys widened, "This is going to take FOREVER!!"

"Wait a second," Firesong turned to Peppercloud, "Do you know how the squirrel looks like?" Peppercloud looked down, then back up.

"I think so. When i went hunting for one before i was frightened of them, i ran up a tree to get one. It had a black tail, with some mark on it. But then it attacked me, and i fell off! And, i think i got a nasty cut from the fall." Peppercloud finished. Swiftclaw stepped forwards.

"Lemme see." She looked from left to right, the thousands of squirrels all over the horizon paying no mind to the cats.

"I see it!"

"Where?"

"There, where the rocks are!" Sure enough, there was a black tail floating above the grey squirrels.

"How did you see that Swift?" Rainsplash gasped. Swiftclaw looked up.

"Last night, they told us that four of us had some powers....I guess i could see stronger now," Swiftclaw meowed happily.

"All right, lets go!" Lapis yowled as the group ran off to the rocks. Firesong's muscles felt on fire as he ran towards the rocks, after the long walk from the beginning. The large boulders underground began to rise as they approached it, but as they did, less squirrels were there, until there was just the dark one, sleeping underneath the shade.

"Welp," Lapis breathed, "Here we go." She bent down, grabbing the squirrel by the neck. Immediately, it woke up screeching. Swiftly, she bit deep into its throat, killing it instantly. She felt blood slithering from the squirrel into her mouth, tasting horrible. But as she did that, the squirrels all turned to them, black eyes staring silently at them. Peppercloud's heart froze as Lapis put the dead squirrel on the ground in fear.

"Nobody make a sound," Lapis whispered. The group watched as it's body dissolved into ash, floating away silently.

"BYE! YOU GOT BEAT DOWN!!" Emeraldheart yelled at the ash. At once, the squirrels all jumped at them, bodies flinging into the cats. Rainsplash, Swiftclaw and Firesong broke free of the first swarm of squirrels, taking Lapis and Emerald and Peppercloud free with them. Peppercloud shrieked as she took off into the direction of forest.

"RUN!" The group sprinted as they felt the ground rumble behind them with tons of squirrels. If either of them stop running, they're done for, he thought to himself. Firesong felt one land on his back, biting his legs. Firesong let out a caterwaul, as he tumbled onto the ground.

"FIRESONG!!" Rainsplash ran back, lifting him up to his bloody paws, before sprinting again. Pain, worse than ever clawed at his flesh as some more squirrels attack him. Lapis knocked a few off of her as they tumbled into the tall pines, flipping their bodies on the side of the hill. Firesong landed heavily onto a rock at the bottom, hidden in some ferns. Peppercloud's voice yowled over the sounds of the squirrels.

"This way, hurry!" She cried. The squirrels looked like a wave approaching, and Firesong scrambled to his paws again, rushing towards Peppercloud's voice. She was nearby the Mists of Time area, now open again since they defeated the villain. Everyone ran into the mist, including Firesong.

"Wait, where's Swiftclaw?!" Lapis yelped, kicking a squirrel to the side. Suddenly, the black and white she-cat came crashing in from the bushes, her eyes wild. Suddenly, a whole group of squirrels jumped on her, bringing her weight down. Her screams echoed the forest in horror.

"SWIFTCLAW!" Firesong screamed, rushing out of the mists towards her. He swung his claws, slicing a whole bunch, and pulling Swiftclaw out of the racket. Pain burned in both of their chest as they struggled to get through the Mists. All the squirrels were bearing down on them, but at the last second, Swiftclaw grabbed Firesong by the scruff, hauling his body in, along with hers. The clouds began closing the entrance on the cats, the forest of squirrels fading into nothing. When the noises finally ceased to a halt, they both let out a sigh of relief. Pain jolted in both of their bodies.

"I hate squirrels," Swiftclaw gasped, "Never again am i going after one." Firesong nodded.

"Same thing..." There were cuts and gashes of bite marks on them, blood slowly running through their fur.

"Oh StarClan, that was easy?! Oh man..."

Chapter 11
Pumpkintail's eyes burned with pain as her legs began aching from beneath her. She felt wobbly, walking for what seemed like miles in an endless fog cloud. She could tell that the group was tired too, Nightwhisker stumbling, Flameheart having bags under her eyes. Waterfang's tail was drooped low. Suddenly, the fog began vanishing, and a cold wind blew into their faces.

"Is this our first one?" Pumpkintail wondered. Trees loomed from above, and a cold feeling rubbed her pads.

"Snow?" Pumpkintail sneezed, "Why is it leaf-bare?"

"I LOVE LEAF-BARE!!" Icefang meowed, jumping into the deep snow, camouflaging instantly from her fur.

"I have a feeling that this one is mine..." Nightwhisker breathed, looking around nervously. Flameheart turned.

"Well, what enemy was it?"

"Dogs."

"Noooooo! Why does this one have to be so complicated?!" Icefang lifted herself up from the ground, shaking, her teeth chattering.

"Yeah, you deserve to freeze, jumping into snow like that!" Foxstep purred. Pumpkintail could just laugh at the amusement from her friend. The wind howled in the distance, mountains overlooking the forest. Something felt familiar.

"Isn't this where the Clans are?" Foxstep gasped.

""Hey," Pumpkintail pricked up her ears, "Do you hear that?" The group fell silent, hearing a sudden yowling and barking in the distance. Without hesitation, Nightwhisker took off running to the voices.

"NIGHTWHISKER!" Pumpkintail yelped as she sprinted after him, Foxstep and Waterfang behind her. Pumpkintail ran up a hill, overlooking the forest. Nightwhisker was leaning close on the trees, his eyes cold with fear. There was something moving behind the tree.

"SHHHH!!" He whispered, putting a claw to his mouth. A noise sounded behind them, causing both cats to lower on the tree trunk.

"What is that?" She whispered. Suddenly, paw steps edged closer to the trunk where they hid, the scent of dogs digging a hole in their nostrils. Pumpkintail closed her eyes as the breath of one dog fried her fur. Nightwhisker covered his mouth, horrified. Eventually, the dog vanished.

"Where's everyone else?" Nightwhisker mewed. Pumpkintail shrugged.

"I don't see them..." The black tom turned from the tree to the hill. Another cat yowled in the distance, and Nightwhisker's eyes went wide.

"MOM!" He cried.

"NO!" Pumpkintail covered his mouth, but by then, there were two dogs standing in front of them, jaws drooling of blood. Pumpkintail backed up into the trunk of the tree as the dog moved forwards, mouth opened in a gap towards her, its breath coming in closer. Her heart skipped several beats, stomach lurching as the dogs growled.

"Don't make a sound...." Nightwhisker whispered. Pumpkintail's paws shook in the snow in horror as the dog's shadow covered her in fear. Suddenly, it lunged, slamming its head into the wood as Pumpkintail ducked.

"RUN!" She shrieked as they both went hurtling up the hill. The dog's breath was nearby, blowing onto her hind legs. She saw a few cats, and recognized them immediately in front of them.

"Flameheart!" She cried over the barks, "Guys?!"

"Pumpkintail, Nightwhisker, NO!" Suddenly, the shadows around the group, turned into dogs, and both warriors skidded to a halt. Seconds later, a dog lunged out of nowhere, slamming into Pumpkintail, pinning her body down.

"PUMPKIN!" Flameheart backed up as the shadows created a circle around her friends. The dog latched his teeth around her scruff, then shook her body. The world turned upside down as her body flung violently from side to side. After a while, she felt her body let go, crashing into the cold snow. Her body felt dead as she struggled to stand. The dog charged into her, flinging her backwards.

"Nightwhisker!" Pumpkintail cried as she and the dog went hurtling off a cliff. She threw her claws out, grabbing onto a rock in her slide. She held on tightly, dangling on the edge as the dog fell out of sight, barking and whining to his death. Nightwhisker ran as fast as he could to Pumpkintail, watching her lose her grip.

"Pumpkin, hold on!" He shrieked. Pumpkintail felt her claws sliding off the snowy side, her stomach lurching as she looked down into darkness. Her eyes went wide.

"Help ME!" She cried, her paws falling off the cliff side, while at the same time, Nightwhisker slid on the snow, frantically diving for her. Its seemed like slow motion as Pumpkintail fell slowly. Her eyes went wide in horror as he missed the first time, then caught her scruff as they both went over. His body jerked suddenly as his paw grabbed onto the cliff. Nightwhisker screamed in pain as his arm cracked with his jerk.

"Yoowoowwwwww!! Pumpkintail, hold on!" Nightwhisker called painfully, his face twisted, hurt, as his claws began sliding in the icy ground.

"I can't hold on!" He cried out, watching as his head began lowering below the cliff.

"Pumpkintail, I'm sorry," His eyes were red, "We're going to fall, i can't hold on..."

"Let go," She said calmly, swinging from side to side, "Its okay." Nightwhisker looked down at her in fear, her eyes with terror but courage. He closed his eyes, gritting his teeth, then releasing his claws from the cliff.

"NO!" Something snagged onto Nightwhisker's arm suddenly in mid-fall, pulling both cats up to the surface. Nightwhisker's eyes were still closed, until he popped one open, looking at a silver and black striped cat looking down at them.

"WATERFANG!" Pumpkintail's eyes went wide, scrambling to her paws, then jumping on him in relief. But then confusion began to settle in, "But why?"

"I'm not letting anyone die early," Waterfang's eyes were burning with cold fire, "I can't lose you guys." He stood up with Pumpkintail, then helped Nightwhisker to his pads.

"Sorry," Nightwhisker sighed, "I shouldn't have let go."

"Its okay," Waterfang meowed, placing his tail on Nightwhisker's shoulder, "It was a brave thing to do anyway."

"Speaking of which, how'd you get away from the dogs?" Nightwhisker asked shivering. Waterfang groaned.

"It was tough for us to even escape. We're all still alive, thank StarClan. We also killed all of them, but one got away, somehow..." He meowed, washing his paws for heat from the cold wind.

"We can't get out until we get the dog," Pumpkintail flattened her ears, "He could be anywhere!"

"And he may be the toughest to kill," Waterfang concluded, "But i think i know where he took off."

--- Minutes Later---

"Dang," Flameheart meowed as Pumpkintail finished, "i would've been screaming my heart out in that situation!" Pumpkintail nodded, watching Nightwhisker painfully limp with Waterfang leading the way, scenting out the dog. The trees reminded Flameheart of how the Dark Forest may have looked when the cats from there attacked the Clans years ago. Now, its possibly empty. StarClan would nothing like this, she thought, it would be sunnier, and warmer, and have lots of-

"DOG!" Waterfang cried out as the shadow of a dog walked out of the shadows.

"Wait," Nightwhisker held Waterfang back, stumbling towards the figure, "Its not a dog." A cat then walked through, exposing herself in the moonlight. Her pelt was the same as Nightwhisker's fur, and her eyes gleamed with pride.s

"Hello my kit," She meowed.

"MOM!" Nightwhisker ran towards her, nudging her and licking her, "I missed you Sweetpelt." Waterfang's face lit up. He found what he was looking for...

"Wait but, how did you know it was me?" Nightwhisker asked backing up nervously. His mom lowered her face, flattening her ears.

"Your birthmark on your tail," She meowed, "I remembered it when you were born. Until i lost you."

"But, you and dad, you both died!"

"True," She meowed, "But the dead is always alive in the Mists of Time." Nightwhisker chuckled, his eyes wide with disbelief.

"Who are your friends?" She asked. Nightwhisker turned with pride.

"This is Waterfang, Pumpkintail, Flameheart, Icefang-"

"DOG!" Pumpkintail shrieked. Nightwhisker frowned.

"Nobody here's named 'DOG'..."

"No, DOG!!!" Pumpkintail hissed, backing up. Suddenly, a growl sounded nearby. Waterfang's head shot to the bushes as the dog stepped out, its teeth stained with blood.

"Oh no," Nightwhisker gasped. Then, the dog lunged, but it lunged towards Nightwhisker's mom.

"NO!" He jumped in front of Sweetpelt, jumping towards the dog at the same time, but was violently tossed backwards, his body slamming into the rocks, where he laid limply.

"NIGHTWHISKER!!" Icefang yowled. The dog began advancing towards the black lump of fur, until Waterfang lunged onto the dog's back, sinking his fangs into its flesh.

"We gotta help them!" Pumpkintail cried out, advancing towards the dog. The dog shook, detaching Waterfang, where he fell onto the snow. Pumpkintail slicing his face, while Flameheart trucked the dog to its side. Icefang began to dig scratches into its flesh. The dog howled in pain, jumped up. He grabbed Waterfang by the scruff, tossing him into the tree, where a bone-breaking sound echoed from Waterfang's body.

"NO!" Flameheart shrieked.

"Keep it confused!" Sweetpelt screeched. All four cats began circling the dog, their teeth flashing, eyes burning with pain and strength.

"NOW!" And like that, all of them lunged. Flameheart was thrown to the floor, the dog's paw digging into her chest. Pumpkintail managed to slice the dog's side again, while Sweetpelt bit its leg. The dog tumbled onto the ground in pain, then with its last effort, swung at Sweetpelt. Pumpkintail jumped near the dog, her eyes burning with anger.

"I-hate-dogs," She growled, swinging her claws into its throat. The dog screamed, shaking until it went limp, blood soaking the snow. Waterfang's mewes of pain echoed behind them, as he limped, bloody and scratched, back to the group. Pumpkintail's eyes lit up, ''he's OK! And so is Nightwhisker!'' Nightwhisker was thankfully still unconscious though. Sweetpelt was wincing in pain strangely, and Flameheart could see the blood growing in her fur from the dog's last swing. Horror began to grow in her throat.

"Your hurt!"

"Its fine," She croaked, eyes burning in pain and grief, then groaned as she tumbled onto her side. Flameheart's eyes went wide.

"Guys, you gotta help Sweetpelt!" She cried out. Pumpkintail placed her paws into her deep cut, feeling the blood flow loosely from her pelt. Her breathing was growing shallow

"You gonna be OK, right? StarClan please help her!" Pumpkintail pleaded, "Your son loves you, you have to see him again, stay here!" Sweetpelt's chest was shaking, more blood staining Pumpkintail's paws. Sweetpelt's eyes were glazing over, eyelids unmoving.

"She DYING!" Waterfang screeched in horror, "Save her!"

"Wait, Mintshadepelt uses cobwebs to stop cuts, GET COBWEBS!" Flameheart insisted to Icefang, who was looking over at Nightwhisker. In seconds, she returned with cobwebs. Pumpkintail placed the cobwebs onto the she-cat's chest, and like that, the cut stopped bleeding. Both she-cats gave a sigh of relief, watching Sweetpelt taking in deep breaths, and lifting her head.

"What happened?" She asked groggily. Pumpkintail breathed smiling,

"You almost died for a second." Sweetpelt's eyes widened.

"Woops."

"Waterfang!" Pumpkintail raced from Sweetpelt's side, rushing to the limping RiverClan cat.

"I broke my paw," He sighed in pain, "I don't know if i could walk."

"Thank you Waterfang," Sweetpelt whispered as she stood up, stumbling for a second, "You saved Nightwhisker. I owe you my thanks." Waterfang dipped his head.

"Come with us!" Flameheart meowed, "You could help us stop the Mists-"

"I cannnot," She mewed, "I'm already gone, i can't help you. Your on your own on this adventure." She limped over to Nightwhisker's frozen body, nudging him. The tom just shook, narrowing his head.

"Ehh...stop....that hurts..." he mumbled.

"Knew you were faking," She purred.

Chapter 12
Hollytuft felt her bruised leg mid-way through the fog, which was starting to feel painful as they edged closer to their first challenge. Hollywhisker was in the front, jumping up and waving through the foggy area. Mintshadepelt was sluggishly padding through the foggy ground, nearby to Silverwind and Skyheart, sharing tongues. Bayberry was next to Hollytuft, her white and brown fur glowing in the only light. Suddenly, the foggy ground dropped suddenly, and Hollytuft cried out as she landed on her bad leg.

"I'm fine," She meowed in pain, "Its nothing."

"Guess this is our first one?" Bayberry sighed, helping Hollytuft to her paws. There were no trees, just a sunny sky with clouds of white. The ground was smooth, but the smell stank with swamp. Flies buzzed around the cats, and Mintshadepelt began complaning.

"I hate bugs! Always biting things," Mintshadepelt hissed, crushing one between her paws. Hollytuft spotted some Twolegs upstream, with their roaring monsters, uprooting trees and bushes.

"Maybe this is mine Mint, not yours," Hollytuft meowed. The Twolegs looked familiar, with that same red truck or extermination. She could remember how they were the ones who killed majority of the animals in the forest near the mountains. They used large stick, that spat out fire, and wooden sticks that they used to hit things with, somee with sharp metal. Her heart began beating faster as she saw them hauling out some of those sticks.

"Please don't tell me its a Twoleg," Mintshadepelt gasped, "Because this will be the hardest challenge yet!"

"Its the one that tried to kill me," She sighed, her eyes scanning the horizon of the fur-less creatures.

"Maybe we just need to scratch them, to scare them off so that the fog can open up again!" Her heart sank as a memory of the Twoleg incident ran through her head. It was moons ago when she was an apprentice, when the Twolegs spotted the Clans. In fury, they shot some cats with the metal sticks, and captured others in cages. Hollytuft could remember the pain as one of them swung its wooden stick, slamming it on her legs, leaving her bruised, battered, and bloody. Some of the cats were drowned in cages in the lake, which was horrifying to watch.

"Hollytuft!" Mintshadepelt hissed, knocking Hollytuft out of her trance, "We're moving, stop lolly gagging!"

"Coming," She shook, her neck hairs bristling with worry. The sounds of the monsters were roaring in their ears.

"We gotta cross this?" Silverwind groaned as they stared at the road where the monsters rolled by on, their huge black paws scarring the surface. The rocky surface shook as a monster, holding a few Twolegs flew by, leaving a cloud of smoke from a metal stick.

"Yuck," Skyheart wrinkled his nose from the smell, "How do they live in a smelly thing like that?"

"Who knows," Mintshadepelt sighed as the rocky road's shaking halted, "Twoleg's are mouse-brained. That's what i was taught!" The medicine cat looked right to left, before she took off across the road.

"Alright, everyone else, lets go!" She called. The ground was still silent, so no monsters in sight. Quickly, Skyheart walked over the pavement. Hollywhisker came next. Hollytuft began to walk over with Bayberry, but they both froze, as the black surface began to rumble.

"Two monsters!" Skyheart cried out, rushing quickly to the other side. Bayberry began to run, but she tripped suddenly, a screech of pain echoing behind Hollytuft.

"Im hurt!" She cried out, a river of blood rushing down his knee. The view of the monsters came closer, and Hollytuft meowed in worry, "C'mon Bayberry!" The she-cat limped painfully as fast as she could, but the monsters were gaining on her.

"I can't!" She cried out. Hollytuft rushed forwards, feeling the ground shaking harder, while pushing Bayberry forwards. Quickly, she grabbed her by the scruff, hauling her over the hard ground, watching as the two monsters began rushing faster and faster, not even stopping!

"They're not STOPPING!!" Hollytuft cried. Within a second, they were tail lengths away. Hollytuft threw Bayberry onto the other side, where he skidded onto the grass.

"Hollytuft!" Mintshadepelt cried as the monsters rolled over. Hollytuft thankfully rushed into a yellow line, avoiding the two monsters. Another bunch of monster began coming up too.

"Help!" Hollytuft yowled, her face nearly getting slammed by a monster. Hollytuft took a step forwards as another monster passed, then ran. But she already was doomed, as the group watched horrified, a monster screeching towards the black she-cat. It began turning to avoid her, but instead landed on its back, a large noise booming before her. Hollytuft closed her eyes, this is my end, here it comes... But before she could come to a fate like that, Silverwind jumped towards her, pulling her back onto the ground using her teeth to Hollytuft's scruff. The monster kept on rolling, then exploding into an orange flame, knocking the group back a few feet. Bayberry cried out as she landed on her bleeding leg. Flames began to lick the walls of the black monster, while Twolegs tumbled out of the belly, hands above their heads.

"Did i do that?" Hollytuft was startled, but Mint was horrified.

"Run!" Mintshadepelt yowled to the group, "Run up the hill before they see us!

Chapter 13
Bramblefire felt worried about Waterfur's past from before. Its been hours since the occurrence happened on their first obstacle, and it was a rogue. It gave Waterfur a bad gash, and it was somewhat difficult to stop him, but they did. Now, they were in a mountainous area, which was Birdwing's past. However, he didn't know what it was though. Bramblefire was in charge of watching them sleep while he stood guard. The group was going to sleep now, and its been hours since they had fresh-kill. The taste of mouse still rumbled through Bramblefire's chest. MeadowWing and Waterfur were sleeping nearby, Waterfur's chest rising up and down along with the cut. The sky was lighting up, the sun splashing the world in its lively glow. Suddenly, a noise make Bramblefire's ears prick in its direction. Was it mouse? Suspicously, he began walking towards the bushes, busting through towards a small opening. The ground sloped down into an area, that had an edge to another part of the forest. There was the sound again from there, and Bramblefire trampled over some branches towards it. It was a cliff, a pretty small one in fact. The trees roots were a tail-length away from him, and so was the ground.

"Hello?" He called out into the green area. Bramblefire looked down at the roots of the trees. It was moving. Not only that, but the ground below was moving. Bramblefire's eyes went wide. He remembered his parents telling him about an event called a quake, when the ground shifted on a cracked area, like a cliff, but there laid the strongest of the quake. Could this be one? He sensed the ground shift slightly below his pads, rocks raining down on the ground below him. It really is one, he cried out, stepping back as more sounds of the crack sounded in front of him. The trees swayed slightly, and the ground below Bramblefire shook a little. In seconds, he took off towards the group in horror. The leaves splat into his face as he ran, groans sounding behind him.

"GUYS!!" He yowled as he ran, the ground beginning to sway, "RUN!!" He screamed, now a few monster lengths away. Then, the ground jolted. Bramblefire felt the ground disappear below him as he fell onto his side. The trees shook wildly, leaves raining from below. He struggled to get up, but another jolt threw him to the side. The world shook violently, rocks rolling from side to side. A tree crashed nearby, exploding into splinters of wood, slicing his flesh.

"AHHHH!!" He cried, as the ground slammed onto the ground, tossing him another way. His body began flopping down a slope that wasn't there before. NO, he thought, I'm falling away from the group! His claws dug into the wavy earth, slowing his fall. Quickly, he sprinted down a fallen tree over a small ditch, his claws digging into the tree as it swayed from side to side. The horizon moved like waves on the sea in the distance. Suddenly, the tree began to crack! Before Bramblefire could move, he found himself falling, getting buried in soil and wood. He chocked painfully, rocks slamming into him. And just like that, the earthquake stopped. His breath was shallow in the darkness as the weight of the world began crushing his bones. He felt liquid oozing down his forepaw and his chest, and began to struggle more.

"HELP!" He winced as he lifted up the heaviest piece of wood on him. Suddenly, the ground began to rumble, and Bramblefire's heart quickened.

"NO!" He cried as the ground jolted again. He began to feel himself getting freed, and painfully, he busted through the pile, only getting slammed on by a larger piece of wood. His eyesight dimmed as it slammed his head, knocking him out where he only saw darkness. He could still feel the ground shaking his body like a lifeless piece of fresh-kill, until it stopped just like before. Now, he was tangled in some vines from the tree, wrapping around his body like a snake. His tail laid deep underneath the bark of the tree, trapping him. Bramblefire's vision began to clear again, but now, the scenery was different. The sun was lower in the sky, shadows floating like butterflies on the ground. Bramblefire's body ached in pain, scratches bleeding all over. The forest fell silent, trees leaning in mid-fall, earth ripped, and cracks growing. Bramblefire tried to push through the vines, but they were tight and large on him.

"MeadowWing! He yowled, "Birdwing, Waterfur! Anyone?" his voice just echoed into the distance. Horror began to grow in Bramblefire's throat. He felt the ropes tightening around his neck, the harder it was making him to breathe. Suddenly, a voice sounded nearby.

"Guys? GUYS?!" He cried.

"Bramblefire!" The she-cat meowed in surprise, as MeadowWing sprinted to the tom.

"Are you ok?"

"No," Bramblefire hissed, "I'm choking and im stuck." MeadowWing narrowed her eyes.

"Well that explains a lot. Lemme see if i could free you." She sliced the vines like leaves, causing Bramblefire to fall onto the ground, untangling the other vines squeezing his paws.

"My tail!" He winced, trying to pull it out. The wooden tree was squeezing it closed underneath, and it was hard enough to even move it. MeadowWing raced over to his side, then began digging into the earth.

"What are you doing?"

"If i can dig a hole, you tail could slip out easily," She meowed, her paws moving like a blur, until finally, Bramblefire felt his blood rushing to his crushed tail. He quickly jumped forwards, feeling a jolt of pain as he landed on his busted paws.

"Thanks," Bramblefire meowed in shame. MeadowWing nudged him.

"Its ok, no need to be upset."

"How did you guys get out? I didn't get to warn you in time!" Bramblefire lifted a paw. MeadowWing's face grew shallow.

"When it began, we all woke up in a flash. The ground shook us like nothing, so i don't know where everyone went. They all scattered into the rubble. Now, they could be anywhere, even in the Mists of Time!"

"I figured," Bramblefire breathed. The sun was setting into darkness, making the clouds vanish in the sky. He began padding up the slope.

"Bramblefire?" MeadowWing wondered curious.

"What? We got searching to do, we don't have much time! C'mon!"

Chapter 14
Waterfang felt dead. The group was waking up from what seemed like the shortest nap ever. The sky was lighting up from the coming sunlight, shining on the Mists of Time. Its been open for hours, and it was smart of the group to sleep outside from their previous obstacle, and avoid the next one by first getting rest and food, especially next to Nightwhisker's long lost parent. But it felt worse for Waterfang, since he broke his bone from the dog, tossing him into a tree. The pain felt worse when he moved too, like liquid fire in his veins. But atlas, he has to anyway. Painfully, he grunted as he lifted his body, his paw feeling like it was just set ablaze.

"You ok?" Pumpkintail wondered. Waterfang sighed.

"I'm fine. Its just broken, i could manage." But he felt like he couldn't. How could he even take on the next challenge when he was already broken on the first?"

"You journey await," Sweetpelt meowed calmly as she lifted up. Waterfang grew nervous as he paw went across her cut chest. He could remember the horror of her falling over from the loss of blood from the dog. But at least everyone was still alive. Hopefully.

"Thanks Sweetpelt," Nightwhisker mewed, "For everything. And the mice."

"Hopefully we meet again in StarClan," She meowed, sadness growing in her body. They both came close to each other, laying their heads on each other.

"Promise me that you'll succeed, and you make life count," She whispered. Nightwhisker nodded, her eyes burning in grief.

"I promise."

"C'mon guys, we're losing day.....er mist-time," Flameheart corrected. The group waved goodbye to the she-cat, watching the area, and her vanish into nothing. Nightwhisker's whiskers twitched as he stared unmoving.

"I'll never see her again." he whispered. Waterfang limped over to the tom, his ears flattening.

"Don't say that, of course you will. When we join the stars." He encouraged. Nightwhisker squeezed his eyes as he stared into the fog.

"Yeah, the stars...." He dragged his tail in sorrow across the ground. Waterfang's heart lurched. Did i say something wrong to him, he thought as he followed, i don't want him to be sad. Suddenly, Flameheart's shriek of terror sounded ahead.

"Flame! NOO!" Pumpkintail's body was on the floor by the time Icefang, Waterfang and Nightwhisker arrived.

"Where's Flame?" Pumpkintail's eyes were wide. Waterfang caught a glimpse of blood welling up on her side.

"What the-"

"Flameheart got taken! She's gone! Some cats outta nowhere that look like her attacked me!" She cried out, wincing in pain. Icefang walked over, helping her to her pads.

"Flame?!" Waterfang yowled into the mist trotting away.

"FLAME?!"

"Flameheart where are youuuuuu?" Icefang ran into one direction with Pumpkintail, while Waterfang ran with Nightwhisker in another. The mist burned in Waterfang's eyes as water droplets flew into his face.

"Waterfang wait!" Nightwhisker cried from behind, jumping in front of him, "What if this is Flameheart's past?"

"What do you mean? ''

"I mean," Nightwhisker hissed, "Maybe she could stop it herself."

"I don't know about that," Waterfang rasied a paw nervously, "She's alone out there. What if we actually lose her?!"

23:48, August 9, 2016 (UTC)

Flameheart's memories were coming back painfully in her head. She could remember walking with Pumpkintail, until three figures jumped out of nowhere, slamming into both of them. She remembered claws, blood, and darkness. Like now, she was in darkness. And she was being carried. She couldn't really feel her body completely, except for the pain from before. Finally, after what felt like forever, she felt the blood beginning to rush through her veins, and the feeling in her muscles were growing. Her eyelids opened up slowly, feeling dazed and stunned. The ground was moving beneath her, grass blowing in the wind beneath her. Flameheart's tail dragged lifelessly on the forest floor. Her pelt was red and stained with blood too. Suddenly, the sunlight vanished, and the ground was replaced with a rocky cool surface.
