Prologue
A very old white she-cat told her tribemates about the omen which she saw a pretty prey filled forest because prey was scarce and the mountains were too packed up and now they were going to make a vote whether who is staying or leaving to find this forest.

“Alright let's place a rock to see who is leaving or staying” she meowed, all cats placed a rock for a vote.

‘Breezing Rose you’re leaving? But what about are kits!” a gray speckled queen meowed to her mate.

“I have to” he meowed in a whisper tone, “I want to see whats out there, Falling Rain do you want to see whats out there too?” the grayish rose tom meowed.

Then their one moon old kits came hopping towards the voting rocks with little pebbles in the tiny jaws and placed it where the cats who were leaving placed theirs.

“Cinder Ear! Red Whisker! what are you doing you are too young to leave! I would not even let you leave if you were six moons old!” she growled to her kits. “Please mama” Red Whisker squeaked. “We want to go with Breezing Rose it will be fun!” Falling Rain looked at her kits and then sighed, “fine we can go, but if you get eaten by a eagle it’s your fault”. “Okay!” the kits both squeaked happily.

A pale gray tom with white patches named Chasing Clouds placed a rock towards the leaving side with other of his tribemates. “Are you coming Rising Moon?” he meowed, “yeah yeah” she meowed then placed a rock

The next day all cats left and the very old white she-cat meowed “farewell! Have a great journey!” their Healer meowed then the traveling cats were gone to find their new home.

Chapter 1
Storm was crouched in her hunting position reading to pounce a blue bird who was picking its prey from the ground.

Than she pounced on it and in a few heartbeats later the bird was dead. “Nice catch her sister” Feather purred while climbing up the tree.

“So I see you caught two wood mice” Storm teased. “Yeah not much I see you caught a big fat blue bird I see” she meowed pointing her ear towards the fat bird. “It’s for Cedar you know how he gets really hungry very fast” she meowed in a short laughter.

Back in the forest Cedar was grooming is fur while Birch was sunning herself. Cedar sniffed the air next he ran towards the camp entrance knowing the prey was here. “Yeah! Finally some good fresh-kill to eat” he meowed his mouth watering with his forest green eyes wide opened. “Here you go Cedar” meowed Storm. The small old tom ran towards his mate Birch and the two started eating it.

ey were here” the beige she-cat meowed. Cedar and Birch were the parents of their father who was named Hawk but he and their mother named, Marigold, who disappeared without a trace when they were six moons old.

“Did you two checked how Apple and Dawn are?” Birch mumbled while eating. “No” Feather replied. “We can check on them now”. Feather headed towards the entrance and meowed “Storm! Want to come?” “Sure” she meowed.

At Apple’s shelter, Apple and Dawn were resting with each other. “Hi” Feather meowed and dipped her head. Storm did the same and meowed “manage to find Mist?” Mist was Apple’s mate and mother to Dawn but, she disappeared two sunrises ago and they couldn’t find her tracks or scent cause it rained that night.

“We are good and no we could not find Mist yet” he sighed. “Will we ever find Mist” mewed Dawn who was wrapped up in her father’s bushy tail. “I do not know Dawn” he meowed and started to lapping his daughter quickly. “It is time to go to sleep” the reddish brown tom meowed. “Okay” she mewed and started to sleep.

“How does she get her milk? She is only one moon old” Storm meowed. “She drinks water for now but I need to find her a foster mother soon” he meowed in a worried voice. “Apple I wish I could help but I have no milk in my belly” Storm meowed. “I can’t help either” Feather meowed. “It’s okay I’m going to sleep bye Feather and Storm” he meowed. “Bye” Feather meowed. “I hope you’ll find a foster mother” the sleek gray she-cat meowed and ran towards their camp with Storm dipping her head towards Apple and ran off.

Cedar was sleeping in his bed at camp while Birch was licking her paws. “How are they?” The old plump she-cat meowed. “They’re fine but, Apple hasn’t found a foster mother for Dawn yet” Feather meowed. “Oh my I hope they find one soon” she meowed. Storm was tired and yawned “I am going to sleep” the dark gray-blue she-cat meowed and ran towards her bedding.

“I’m going to get some rest too” her sister meowed and ran towards her moss bed. Birch then went to Cedar and slept in his moss with him.

The next morning came and all of them were shock after seeing a mess in their camp with their prey missing too. “Falcon!” hissed Cedar. “Oh that mange-pelt she did this” Feather growled.

Storm started to dig her claws in the ground she sniffed the air smell the rouge she-cat’s scent along with her followers Mouse, Berry, Hazel and Maple. “Those fox-hearts wait till I dig my claws into their flea-pelts!” Birch hissed. “Those no good snake tongues are always trouble” Storm hissed. Feather meowed “hey look those feather-brainsl” Feather hissed.

“Let’s Kill those flea-pelts” Cedar hissed. “No you and Birch are too old and killing is not the way to solve problems me and Storm will talk to those feather-brains” Feather growled. Storm and Feather then headed to find the rogues’ camp.

Chapter 2
Rising Moon went close to her mate’s pelt. “So what do we do when we arrive at the forest she asked with her gray and white fur shining under the billions of glowing stars.”I don’t know maybe we make a group or something” he shrugged. “But if we do arrive there maybe we can have kits Chasing Clouds was the leader of the traveling group that was finally out of the cavern of the Tribe and what looked like a forest ahead so they headed towards it.

“My paws are so tired” Cinder Ear squeaked. “I know right!” Her brother Red Whisker agreed with her. “You two wanted to go on this trip and there is no breaks till Chasing Clouds says so” Falling Rain meowed to her kits.

“Hawk!” Raven Feather screeched. All cats hid and took cover in any place that was safe but, Red Whisker stood in shock in the middle. “Red Whisker!” Yowled his father, Breezing Rose. Than Falling Rain sprinted towards her kit as fast as she can but, it was too late the hawk had the little dark gray tabby in its sharp talons. Falling Rain jumped on top of the hawk and bit it in its neck. The hawk screeched, dropped the kit but held onto his ears and finally after a few heartbeats later dropped Red Whisker.

“You okay?” the cats around Red Whisker asked him. Red Whisker’s both ears were shredded and bleeding. Squirrel Tail got some cobwebs to put on his ears. “He will be fine but, his ears will remain shredded like that forever”. “No his ears are ruined!” Falling Rain cried. “I will be fine” Red Whisker mewed. Breezing Rose started lapping his kit than went close to his mate to comfort her to calm down while Cinder Ear laid beside her brother.

“We will take a break here for now so Red Whisker’s ears can heal and the rest of us can hunt and sleep” declared Chasing Clouds.

That night Red Whisker’s ears were dried and healed but, he said it hurts a little bit. “We will stay here until dawn comes” meowed Chasing Clouds. “Blazing Embers, White Eye, Falling Ice and Squirrel Tail please will you all go hunt so we are full”. “Yes Chasing Clouds” meowed White Eye.

of our own” she suggested. “Maybe” he purred with delight.

The sunrise came about and all cats stretched and yawned from their shelter.

“Will we get moving” Crooked Foot meowed limping from her moss bed. “Soon but all cats eat leftover prey than, we will get moving” Chasing Clouds meowed.

All cats later that sunrise were moving and heading more towards the leaf green forest. Oh I can’t wait to see what kinds of discovery there will be Blazing Embers meowed. Yep me too! Crooked Foot agreed. As they were crossing a very strange gray path a strange looking thing was coming very fast. Oh no every cat run towards the other side! Chasing Clouds yowled. Than they heard a terrifying screech.

Squirrel Tail lay there still. The cats dragged her body on to the other side they were on. “Squirrel Tail no!” Raven Feather screeched. “It is fine it’s my time to die” she meowed very weakly.

“Any thing to say?” Raven Feather meowed gently. “Thanks thank you all for what you did. You cared for each other throughout this journey but that is going to change” she coughed while blood came out. She carried on “The spirit-cats told me change is coming when you all arrive at the forest you will all be divided and that five great giant stars will glow in the night sky after the evil is gone but they are not stars they are something greater and will glow bigger and brighter than a normal star but, goodbye I see the spirit-cats calling for me and that we will see each other again someday”.

Squirrel Tail closed her eyes after a few heart beats of quietness Squirrel Tail’s breathing stopped and she was dead.

“What are spirit-cats” Cinder Ear asked her father. “Hush Cinder Ear” he meowed. “Let’s sit vigil and bury Squirrel Tail” Rising Moon meowed.

Chapter 3
Storm wrinkled her nose in disgust as the went closer to the rogue’s camp that was located on top of the moor. “Yuck!” Spat Feather in a very disgusted voice. At the rogues’ camp Falcon was eating a fat bird while the others ate too. “Hey Falcon! why did you steal our fresh-kill!” Feather hissed. “Who cares?” She meowed while her dark green eyes were shining in amusement.

“You think this fun?” Storm growled. “Yes I do find it amusing because why would you two take care of some old cats that do nothing and why bother even being peaceful?” Falcon meowed her voice was sharp.

Feather began to unsheathe her claws and Falcon’s rogues began to get up go beside Falcon. “You are outnumber leave” hissed Berry, his smoky blue eyes filling with rage. “Go!” Mouse hissed, his hairless tail twitching back and forth. Hazel began to dig her claws into the ground and Maple growled “leave unless you want your flea-pelts ripped off!” “Quiet!” Falcon Yowled. “You can leave unless……you give us all your land and we will stop stealing prey from you” she meowed.

“No way you fox-heart you killed our brother!” Feather screeched. Their brother was named Dusk he was a long-furred ginger tom with green eyes but was killed after arguing with Falcon and her rogues. “Fine then kill them" Falcon meowed her voice full of calmness but her eyes full of menace and then let out a short purr of laughter.

“Let’s run!” Storm yowled. “They’re too quick and we are out numbered!” As Feather and Storm went to the exist of the camp, Hazel and Mouse blocked it. “Oh no you don’t" Hazel purred with amusement. Mouse then pounced onto Feather, her short gray sleek fur was all muddy after tumbling down the wet hill of the moor. Maple leaped onto Storm and was ready to do the killing bite. But than Maple screeched as a cat flung her off of Storm. Storm looked and saw Birch. “Go you mange-pelt run!” Birch yowled. “Thanks” Storm meowed. “No time Feather is battling!” Growled Birch

Cedar then stopped the fighting of the two cats. “Falcon let them go back to our camp and you and your mousetails should leave us alone” Cedar hissed. “Fine” she growled. Her rogues and her left the camp. “Come on let's go” Birch meowed.

Chapter 4
Two sunrises have passed since the death of Squirrel Tail, she was killed after being run over by strange shiny big thing with huge dark gray paws while they were trying to pass a hard stone-gray path with yellow spots going done the middle of this path.

“Breezing Rose when will we get to the forest?” Cinder Ear asked her father. “Soon” meowed Breezing Rose. Red Whisker’s ears were still shredded after the hawk grabbed him but, he was still cheerful even if his ears will be scarred forever. “Falling Rain will the forest be filled with prey?” mewed Red Whisker. “Yes Red Whisker this is the whole point of this journey” meowed his mother, Falling Rain.

“Hey Crooked Foot what do you think this whole thing said by Squirrel Tail meant?” meowed Blazing Embers. “I don’t know what the whole thing what she meant by like the stars, these ‘spirit-cat’ and all that but, you shouldn’t say ‘Squirrel Tail’ around Raven Feather because you know they are brother and sister like me and White Eye” meowed Crooked Foot. “Oh yeah right” meowed Blazing Embers.

Falling Ice meowed “Finally almost there!” White Eye nodded in agreement. “Chasing Clouds what will we do when we get there?” meowed White Eye. “I don’t know but, let’s get there first and figure things out meowed Chasing Clouds.

Raven Feather just walked very quietly in sadness. “Poor cat he’s so sad about his sister” murmured Falling Ice.

At moon high the cats arrived in the forest. “Yes finally!” White Eye meowed. “Wait I smell two other cats” meowed Rising Moon. Chasing Clouds went close to a bramble thicket and sniffed it. “Hello?” he growled.

Than Apple appeared from the bush. “Who are you? Please don’t hurt my kit!” he meowed. “Your kit? Let me see this kit and I will not harm it” meowed Rising Moon in a gently voice. Apple went back in the thicket and came out with a small cream colored she-kit. “Her name is Dawn and I am the father of Dawn my name is Apple” he meowed. “Where is her mother?” asked Rising Moon. ” I can’t find her she disappeared without a trace” Apple meowed. “I can take care of her as a foster mother” Rising Moon meowed. “But Rising Moon you never had kits let me take care of her” meowed Falling Rain. “No I think you should handle your own kits and I have some milk in me” meowed Rising Moon. “Wait why trust so quickly on this cat?” Growled Chasing Clouds.

“Please! She needs a foster mom!” Apple shrieked. “Fine!” Hissed Chasing Clouds. “Thank you!” Apple squeaked like a kit who finally got what he wanted. He gave Dawn to Rising Moon the she-cat laid down, Dawn smelled her belly and than started to suckle and kneed on Rising Moon. “Is there any other cats that aren’t a threat” Chasing Clouds growled. “Yes they are kin living together I will show you them follow me” Apple meowed. “Wait what if this is a trick!” hissed Chasing Clouds. “Come on let him lead the way to this kin’s camp” meowed Raven Feather who didn’t seem sad anymore. “Fine” sighed Chasing Clouds. All cats started to follow, Rising Moon picked up Dawn by her scruff and started to follow Apple.

At the camp it was a stone hollow with a hollow fallen old tree in it. “Storm, Feather, Cedar and Birch! There is cats who want to see you and they are not the rogues!” Apple yowled. All four cats came out of the fallen tree and all gazes faced each other.

Chapter 5
After all the cats greeted each other and Chasing Clouds told them about their journey and the life as a tribe cat.

“All right we should make a group and camp” meowed Chasing Clouds. “Who will be are leader?” asked Red Whisker. ” I will” he replied. “What about Storm she looks like a better leader then you” meowed Falling Rain. “No please i’m fine I don’t need to lead a camp” Storm meowed. “Come on please Storm!” Squeaked Cinder Ear. “Wait i’m going to be the leader” Chasing Clouds growled. “How about if we have two different camps?” suggested Apple. “Maybe” Storm meowed. All cats agreed that two different groups will do and they will vote to see which cats will stay in who’s camp.

Crooked Foot, Raven Feather, Birch, Cedar, Breezing Rose, Falling Rain and their kits all voted to stay with Storm. Blazing Embers, Falling Ice, Rising Moon, Dawn, Apple, White Eye and Feather all voted to be with Chasing Clouds.

“Feather you don’t want to live with your kin?” asked Cedar. “I feel like Chasing Clouds will be a better choice and I just want to stay with him” she meowed.

“It is settled then we all got our groups settled and my cats will find somewhere else in this forest” meowed Chasing Clouds. “Me and my group will stay in the stone hollow” Storm meowed.

A half moon passed since the groups settled in the forest. Chasing Clouds’ Camp settled in the woods farther from the stone hollow.

Feather was hunting for her campmates and spotted a plump looking bird. Feather crouched and pounced on the bird killing it. Then a she-cat with rogue scent pounced onto Feather attacking her. Feather saw it was a mottled brown she-cat with orange eyes.

“Who are you!” shrieked Feather. “I am a lone rogue named Bark and you stole my prey on my land!” she hissed. The two she-cats fought tumbling over each other and scratching each other’s fur. Luckily Chasing Clouds was near by and heard the two cats fighting and ran quickly towards the two fighting cats.

Chasing Clouds flung Bark off and sliced her throat. Feather gasped and was very shock as she watched the brown she-cat tumble onto the ground. She choked out few words ” My kits……” Then she fell down blood gushing out of her mother and throat few heartbeats later she stopped moving Bark had died. “You killed her! and she has kits!” Feather growled. ” Well she was a rogue and she almost killed you!” he hissed. “I am going to find her kits where ever they are” she hissed. Feather sniffed all around and she heard mewling behind a bramble thicket. Feather saw behind the thicket was two kits one was a very small, short furred sleek brown tom-kit with forest-green eyes and the other was a fluffy, small pure snow-white she-kit with bright blue eyes.

“Can we take them in and Rising Moon can take care of them?” Feather asked her leader. “Oh no i’m not taking in some rogue kits” he meowed. “Please Chasing Clouds they are motherless because of you please would you really let these kits die!” she pleaded to her leader. “Fine take them to camp” he snorted.

At camp Feather saw Apple and Rising Moon playing with Dawn. “Who are those kits?” mewed Dawn. ” Bark a rogue queen who was killed by me” he meowed very guilty. ” Chasing Clouds why would you kill a mother!” Rising Moon hissed at her mate. ” She was attacking me but, Chasing Clouds is feeling guilty right” Feather meowed to Chasing Clouds. “Yes” he murmured. “Will you take in these kit Rising Moon I know you are nursing Dawn but, will you please help these kits” meowed Feather. ” Yes even if they were rogue born” she meowed.

Back in Rising Moon’s den the two kits suckled Rising Moon. Then Dawn laid down and started to suckle Rising Moon as well.

“Feather for names for the kits I want the white she-kit named Quiet Feather because she is lightly built and named in honor of you” Rising Moon meowed. “That wonderful name and for the brown tom-kit should be named Twig because he is small like one” Feather suggested. “Good those are the kits names Quiet Feather and Twig” she meowed. ” Oh yeah what did they do to Bark’s body?” Rising Moon asked very quietly. “They buried her near a tree” replied Feather. “Okay” meowed Rising Moon.

In the next sunrise all three kits Rising Moon fostered were all playing moss ball with Apple and White Eye. Feather with Blazing Embers and Chasing Clouds went hunting and caught back some fresh-kill.

Feather wondered what her sister and other kin were doing in her own group so she decided to visit Storm’s Camp and she headed off to go visit.

Chapter 6
At Storm’s Camp which was located in a stone hollow in the same forest close to Chasing Clouds’ Camp, the group looked fine and well.

“Red Whisker please can you not play with the fresh-kill we need to eat that not play with it” Faling Rain scolded her tom-kit. “Sorry Falling Rain but, Cinder Ear hid the moss ball to play with” mewed Red Whisker. “Cinder Ear please can you not hide the moss ball” meowed Falling Rain. Cinder Ear rolled her eyes and got the moss ball which was hiding behind an elder bush.

The kits’ father and mate to Falling Rain came in to his mate’s den with a bluejay and a small wood mouse. “The bluejay is for you Falling Rain and the wood mouse is for our kits.”

“Are you sure there ready for their first prey?” Asked Falling Rain. “Yes they are ready they just turned two moons old last sunrise” replied the grayish rose tom. The kits then went crazy over the prey with excitement and started to eat it together while their parents started to eat the bluejay.

Storm got some fresh-kill for Birch and Cedar, her kin. “Thank you Storm” meowed Birch and started to eat the squirrel. Yeah! Finally some of that good caught-prey.” Cedar meowed very excited and started to eat the plump vole.

Storm looked around satisfied seeing her campmates all relaxed and well. “Few I never knew leading a camp would be so hard but, I made it through and as long I can keep it up I will make sure my group is good and well” she thought in her mind. Than she smelled her sister’s scent.

“Feather! What are you doing here?” She meowed very surprised. “I came to see how your camp is doing” meowed her sister but, Raven Feather got in her way including Crooked Foot. “It’s fine she is not the enemy” meowed Storm. “Okay” Crooked Foot meowed giving Feather a suspicious look while Raven Feather just gave her a sharp glance and the two ran off. “Sorry about that it’s just that ever since we broke off into groups cats started to not trust a cat in your group” Storm apologized to her sister. “It is fine my cats are more mistrusting of your cats then yours” she meowed. ” Come lead me towards your den”

Storm leaded her sister towards her den which was a very big high rock with a entrance to the side of it. “Here it is highrock my den” she meowed. “Why give your den a name?” Feather asked. ” Cause when I ever call a camp meeting I say to meet me under a Highrock” Storm answered. “Okay” the sleek short-furred gray she-cat meowed.

Than Cedar and Birch came sprinting out of their den towards Feather and gave her licks of happiness. “Oh my precious Feather we haven’t seen you in a half moon” Birch purred who was the grandmother of Feather and Storm. ” I missed you too” Feather meowed. “Oh you grown fast” Cedar purred proudly. “Cedar it’s only been a half moon” Feather purred with laughter.

“I need to go it’s turning dark” meowed Feather. “Bye” Storm, Cedar and Birch meowed. Than Feather was gone.

Storm woke up in her den she stretched and yawned. “Storm! My kits our gone including Rising Moon’s foster kits!” Screeched Falling Rain her voice full of fear. ” What! How terrible I will send a patrol” Storm meowed with fear. She never knew she had to face a problem like this.

Storm saw Chasing Clouds’ Group in her camp. “Chasing Clouds what are you doing here and I thought Rising Moon only fostered Dawn” Storm meowed. “Well that’s a long story but, Rising Moon began to foster two other kits named Twig and Quiet Feather but, please help us!” Chasing Clouds meowed. Rising Moon his mate had her face buried into his pelt Storm knew she was in fear of her foster kits.

“Alright let’s send some patrols to find Falling Rain’s kits and Rising Moon’s foster kits” Storm meowed trying to be calm.

Chapter 7
All cats looked for the kits,but White Eye found their scent trail and it also had a stranger’s scent to it. “Oh whoever took my kits will have their fur clawed off!” growled Falling Rain. “I know right! And the kits aren’t even the kits I kitted, but I love them so much” meowed Rising Moon.

Storm and Chasing Clouds were leading the cats as they were following the scent tail. “Alright I think they are in the pine forest follow us” meowed Chasing Clouds. They ended up in a small clearing and the kits were listening to a long-furred white tom with large black paws, a long dark black tail, black ears and black spots around his pale blue eyes. Then Falling Rain’s kits ran towards their mother while Rising Moon’s foster kits ran to their foster mother.

“Who are you?” meowed Storm asking this stranger. “I’m Sea father of Twig and Quiet Feather” he replied. “Is this true your father is Sea?” Rising Moon asked her foster kits, Twig and Quiet Feather. “Well yeah he’s not my father, but I just know he is their father” Dawn mewed to her foster mother. ” Yep is our father” Twig squeaked proudly. “He is and Sea is the best Father I know!” mewed Quiet Feather.

“Tell us about yourself?” Blazing Embers asked Sea. “Okay so I was kitted to my mother near a massive body a water it’s called the sun-drown place or the sea and thats why they named me Sea” Sea meowed and then continued “when I was forty eight moons old I met Bark and we became mates, but she said I was going to be a father because she was expecting kits and..He meowed, but carried on with a very, very quiet voice “I never wanted kits so we argued Bark told me she was going to leave and never return and over the next moon she had Twig and Quiet Feather” meowed Sea.

“What never wanted kits!” Feather gasped. “I can’t believe you just said that!”Rising Moon growled then asked her kits, “Did you hear the last part?” The kits all said, “No” Cinder Ear asked her mother and father, “What did he say?” then her brother joined in “Yeah what did Sea say?” Red Whisker mewed. “Nothing important to tell right now cause you two will tell Quiet Feather, Twig and Dawn and they will be heart shattered while Dawn will be mad at Sea” replied Breezing Rose.

“But I do want to join the groups so I can change my past mistakes” meowed Sea. “Oh yeah what happened to Bark because my kits didn’t know what happened to her and they only said she just probably ran away” Chasing Clouds and Feather looked at each other and Feather said, “Quiet Feather and Twig this will leave you really sad, but Chasing Clouds killed Bark by accident and he was only protecting himself an me because she was attacking us” she meowed very guilty. Twig and Quiet Feather had their eyes look darkened and went close against Rising Moon while Dawn gave Chasing Clouds a disgusted look.

“I know it was a mistake, but I’m glad that stupid fur-ball with a rabbit-brain is gone. Oops did I say that anyway please let me join your group Chasing Clouds and I want my name like the others” he pleaded Chasing Clouds. Don’t trust him!” yowled Birch. “He doesn’t care about his kits or of his former mate’s death and he could of harmed by little Dawn” Apple hissed. ‘Fine I will let him join, but under the eye of White Eye and Falling Ice” Chasing Clouds meowed. “Can my name be ‘Black Tail’ please” Sea meowed.

“Yes your name will be Black Tail and will you be loyal?” he asked Black Tail. “Yes” he replied. “I don’t trust him and he doesn’t care for his kin” meowed Chasing Clouds’ mate Rising Moon. “It will be fine let us go home now that the kits are safe” He meowed to his mate.

“Black Tail what did you do with the kits?” asked Raven Feather. “He told us about his cool adventure mewed Cinder Ear. Falling Rain picked up her kit Red Whisker while Breezing Rose picked his kit Red Whisker. Rising Moon picked up Quiet Feather who still looked sad and her brother Twig also looked sad as well and was picked up by his father. Dawn was laying on her father Apple’s back and they left.

“Finally this is over” Storm thought in her head with relief and happiness. but felt like something was wrong.

Chapter 8
Back at Storm’s Camp, Falling Rain and her kits all went into their den to sleep after her kits that have been found with Rising Moon’s foster kits and also found Quiet Feather and Twig’s father who joined Chasing Clouds’ Group and renamed himself Black Tail, but some cats from both camps do not trust him.

“Hey Storm should you do some patrols?” asked Birch. “Yeah I will” replied Storm then emerging from her den and went on top of the Highrock. “I want only one hunting patrol because it’s late so I want Raven Feather, Breezing Rose and Crooked Foot to go hunt it is small, but it’s almost moon high” she meowed. “Oh yeah Crooked Foot you’ll lead the patrol” she added.

“Okay, come on let’s hunt” Crooked Foot meowed, then limping away with Breezing Rose and Raven Feather on her tail.

“They’re back! Yepeeee!” yowled Cedar in happiness, who is obviously hungry.

After some cats ate they went to their dens to sleep.

Storm slept peacefully till there was a very loud yowl outside almost all cats woke up.

Chapter 9
Storm ran out of her den to see what was going on, but it was only quietness and the breezing leaves she heard. Some cats woke up and got out of their dens to figure what that loud yowl was about.

“Who was that mama?” Red Whisker asked his mother. “I don’t know, but I hope it’s not anything bad” she replied. “Father do you think it could be something bad?” Cinder Ear asked her father, Breezing Rose. “I hope it isn’t bad” he meowed.

“Who disturb my beauty sleep?” growled Cedar. “Come on let’s go back to bed Cedar” Meowed his mate Birch. The two elderly cats went on to their den to go back to sleep.

“Storm? Do you want us to figure that out like a patrol or something?” Crooked Foot asked. “Yes I want you, Raven Feather, Breezing Rose and myself to go and figure that loud noise out” Storm replied.

While the patrol was looking around they heard Chasing Clouds and a couple of other cats. “Chasing Clouds?” Storm meowed. “Storm? What are you looking for, wait did you hear that noise too?” he asked. “Yes we heard it so we’re looking where it came from” Storm replied back. The other cats they saw were Falling Ice, Black Tail and Feather. “Hi Feather how are you?” she asked her sister. “I am good I’m guessing you’re pretty good yourself” Feather purred. Storm nodded and purred against her sister’s side with a tap on her shoulder with her tail.

“I smell blood follow me!” Black Tail. All cats followed his tail and once the blood scent stop at a puddle and then they shocked in horror of what their discovery was. “Apple!” screeched Feather. Apple was laying there motionless in the puddle.

Chapter 10
“Oh no. He….e..e…he’s dead!” Gasp Crooked Foot. “Dawn already has a missing mother, but why now a dead father!” Feather thought in sadness.

“Why would someone do this?” Falling Ice growled digging his claws into the ground. “I don’t know, Apple seemed like a nice cat” quietly mewed Raven Feather. “Well Dawn won’t to be to happy about this she’s now an orphan and we’ll find the cat or beast who did this horrible thing” Chasing Clouds meowed sadly.

Storm asked “do you want any help and I think I know who might did it, the rogues”. “We’re fine about carrying his body and burying him, but who are these rogues?” Chasing Clouds asked.

“They’re a small group of rogues lead by a rogue she-cat named Falcon who is very, very tiny and old like very old cat, but she is very smart even for a rogue cause rogues who are almost always foolish mouse-brains, she’s also got very long sharp claws, sharper than a badger as I heard when I was a kit, she’s got sharp teeth, she’s quick, has keen eyes, very strong, has a very dark cold heart and is very fierce. And her rogue followers are named, Maple she’s a young cat like the same age as me, but she very bratty and rude, there’s Berry he’s strong, but is extremely stupid with a small mouse-brain, Hazel I don’t know much about her she’s the newest cat I’ve seen following around with Falcon and there’s Mouse he’s the oldest follower of Falcon and he’s very fast, but is also very mouse-brained. Almost all rogues outside the forest respects Falcon” Storm explained. “And they also killed our brother, Dusk, after he tried confronting them” Feather sadly added. Storm gave out a sad sigh.

“Well I think we should just get over it and move on with our lives” Black Tail meowed. “No this must be put upon with justice Chasing Clouds growled, Back Tail just rolled his eyes. “In tomorrow’s sundown we do some confronting” Storm suggested. “Yes we will do that tomorrow’s sundown” Chasing Clouds agreed. Alright group let’s head back to camp to tell the sad news” meowed Chasing Clouds. “Bye Storm” Feather meowed good bye to her sister. “Bye Feather” Storm meowed back.

Back at Chasing Clouds’ Camp Feather would tell what had happen to Dawn, her foster siblings and her foster parent, Rising Moon.

In Rising Moon’s den Twig was sleeping besides Rising Moon while she was eating and Dawn and Falling Feather were both playing mossball even at moonhigh. Feather took a deep breath and said “Dawn”. “Yes Feather?” eagerly mewed Dawn

Chapter 11
“What? Did you find Apple?” Dawn squeaked excitedly, Feather looked at Dawn sadly said “Um Dawn please lay down because this is going to be very sad news for you and I’m very sorry for you“. “What?” Dawn mewed very confused.

Feather took a deep breath and meowed out “Apple is dead I’m very sorry”. “What?….N.n…n..no this c…c..can’t be!” Dawn shrieked then she went rested on Rising Moon and laid there. “I’m sorry Dawn, but I’m here for you even if I’m not your real mother” Dawn laid with grief. “We will be for you Dawn” Twig and Quiet Feather squeaked then the two kits laid down next to Dawn to give her comfort while Rising Moon gave a few licks to Dawn and wrapped her tail around her foster kits. “We’ll be going to bed night” Rising Moon yawned. “Night and night Dawn we’ll be there for you” Feather quietly meowed.

Feather stepped down and thought. “I can’t believe Apple is dead, me and my kin knew him for a long time, so now Dawn is an orphan, her mother, Mist, disappeared without a trace just like mine, Storm’s and Dusk’s parents, Hawk and Marigold, why did they disappear just like that, but Feather stop thinking about my parents and Dawn’s mother”

The next morning came and Chasing Clouds ordered everyone, except Rising Moon and the three kits, to go and confront Falcon and her followers with Storm’s group with the exception of Falling Rain, her and Breezing Rose’s kits, Cinder Ear and Red Whisker. Rising Moon and her foster kits will be going over to Storm’s Camp to their nursery so both queens can defend the kits just in case of any attack so they both can protect.

After hunting, then training it is almost sundown then it’s confrontation with Falcon and the other rogues. The reason Storm and Chasing Clouds are both bring their groups is because Falcon can quickly start a fight.

At sundown the both groups met and headed to the moor where the rogues stayed. “Storm I cannot wait to finally tell them how much they’ve done including what they did to Dusk” Feather growled. “Yeah, but let’s make sure we’re the ones who start a battle and we aren’t even sure they were the ones to kill Apple” Storm meowed.

When they arrived no cat was there. “What where are they” Blazing Embers meowed in the back.

The next moon has come and no Falcon or rogues hasn’t been spotted no cat knows where they might have gone to, but are still searching for them just in case they are gone for good they have scented their scent a couple of times meaning they maybe have been still lurking in the forest and Chasing Clouds has grown close towards Twig, Dawn and Quiet Feather they’re close like Father and kin almost, but for Black Tail he’s been doing no visits in the nursery to visit his two one moon old and a half kits, Twig and Quiet Feather and at night Black Tail wouldn’t go to sleep instead just pace around the camp and the leaving it only coming back frustrated and bleeding in different place of his body and when some cat ask he just said he accidentally cut himself on thorns and he also said he left camp because he just needed a moonhigh walk.

Feather thoughted “I’m going to see where they cat is going because something is going on here” So the next moonhigh Feather was ready to see where he was really going.

She saw Black Tail leave so she quietly followed him hid in the bushed trying not to make a sound.

After walking and walking they walked towards the pine forest. “What is he doing here?” She thought, Then she saw Falcon and the rogues facing Black Tail face to face, Black Tail is gowling, his ears flat and showing his teeth while Falcon just has a blank expression. “What is going on here? And Falcon and her rogues are still here! But why is Black Tail here?” Feather thought to herself.

Chapter 12
Feather watched Black Tail stare very fierce stare at Falcon with his teeth, his claws digging into the ground and was hissing at her. Falcon had a blank stare, but then the very old rogue purred with laughter and meowed out “you’re really not giving up aren’t you?” Feather wondered what that all meant, Black Tail hissed “you own me remember? I keep on visiting you, but you never repay me back!”

Falcon’s followers, Hazel, Berry, Mouse and Maple appeared hissing and growling, “I can handle this just like every night you furballs always want to help go back to the camp” Falcon meowed to her rogues. “Yes Falcon” they all said then dipped their heads and ran off

“So you’re going to repay me now right? I led that stupid feather-brained Apple to you and you killed him that was the deal, kill Apple and then, kill Chasing Clouds so I can become leader because he told me when I die I could succeed” Black Tail snarled. “What!? Chasing Clouds really let this cat succeed him after he dies? That was a mouse-brained move there Chasing Clouds…..I’m getting off topic! I need to report back to Chasing Clouds, but I really want to see what’s going to happen between these two” Feather thought to herself.

“Ha ha ha” Falcon intimidated Black Tail, “you don’t get it Black Tail do you? After all these years as a rogue you never even heard of me before I’m known for scamming other pathetic cats who just want something really bad, anyway the thing you don’t get is that I get what I want in a deal and no other cats get nothing out of it, the only reason I killed Apple was because before the other cats came into the forest he was that really annoying cat that always told me to stop my troubles, I wanted to kill Storm and Feather too, but their grandparents are pretty good with combat and they’ll defend those mouse-brains”

Black Tail was ready to fight, but the rogue she-cat said another thing while still purring in amusement “you know you come here every night just so I can kill some arrogant leader just so some petty cat can take the camp over but wait that petty cat is you! but why can’t you just kill him oh that’s right you’re a scaredy-mouse to coward to do anything, you are a scared of being of father and neglect your own kits and do nothing to be a father towards while they still over you even if  I had my own kits I wouldn’t neglect them and you’re also being a scaredy-mouse because you are so scared of killing a cat when it’s simple at least for me, but if you want to fight let’s fight” Falcon purred, then the very old tabby she-cat groomed herself and got into the pouncing position like Black Tail was just some prey while she just made Black Tail more angered.

“How can Falcon find this so amusing? But I must go back to camp and tell Chasing Clouds!” Feather quietly and slowly walked away.

“I know you’re there Feather I knew you were there the whole time I could smell your scent” Falcon meowed, but then Black Tail ran for Falcon so she ran for him too, the two cats started to fight very viciously and it was clear Falcon had a good start, the very tiny old cat was violently clawing at Black Tail while Black Tail was screeching in pain.

“Feather what are you doing? Go back to camp now!” Feather thought to herself then ran back to camp.

When Feather arrived back at camp the gray short sleek-furred she-cat was out of breath, White Eye and Falling ice came out of their dens and both saw the terror in Feather’s dark green eyes they both asked “What happened?” after the two toms asked that there was Black Tail’s loud screech. Every cat woke up, Twig screeched “that was Black Tail!” followed by Quiet Feather’s squeak “it was Black Tail!” Dawn was a very heavy sleeper so she was still sleeping after Black Tail’s loud screech of pain, Rising Moon started to lap her two foster kits while her other foster kit, Dawn was still asleep, “Come on you two go to sleep the camp will find him or whatever that was” the small she-cat picked the two kits by the scruff and went back to the nest.

“Every cat follow me! Falcon was there and she was the one who killed Apple and her and Black- Tail are fighting and I’ll explain later come on!” Chasing Clouds came rushing out of his den and followed Feather along with the rest of her campmates.

Back in the pine forest, there was no sign of Falcon, but Black Tail was on the floor yowling in pain. White Eye and Falling Ice lifted him up while Black Tail was bleeding everywhere.

The sunrise came by and Black Tail was being was being treated by Blazing Embers because he was good at healing cats and Black Tail said he was no more in pain. Feather explained what happened last night then Chasing Clouds’ face became sterned, “So Black Tail is this true?” Black Tail gulped and said “I d...d..d..did do it, b..b...but I can-” Chasing Clouds yowled at the top of his lungs “you are no longer one of us you’re exiled forever!” Black Tail’s face grew angered at he screeched “Fine! I’m leaving, but this isn’t the last you seen of me!”

At sun-high every cat was sharing tounges, nobody seemed to miss Black Tail, but since Twig, Dawn and Quiet Feather were asleep they have not heard of Black Tail’s exile yet they knew Dawn would be okay with it, but the white and black tom’s kits, Quiet feather and Twig they don’t know how they would react.

Chasing Clouds and Rising Moon were eating a finch together and then they heard the kits start to wake up. Feather was near them and she thought “Oh no they’re up how’ll Quiet Feather and Twig react to this even though Black Tail never really loved them those two always loved him since their mother, Bark, died they are the only other kin they know and now he’s exiled”

Chapter 13
Feather saw the kits waking up. “Um……..Twig and Quiet Feather we need to talk” she meowed. “We heard that he got exiled while we’re asleep and it’s alright, Black Tail never loved us, but we love him, the reason we aren’t sad is because we never got to know much about him” Quiet Feather mewed. “Wait what? So you’re alright with this?” questioned Feather. “Yeah we are fine” Twig mewed. “Hey Dawn wake up!” he squeaked loudly. “I’m up” Dawn yawned. “We’re going to play mossball want to play with us?” Dawn replied back “No thanks maybe later Rising Moon will lead me where Apple was buried so I can sit vigil” “okay” Twig mewed and off went Twig and Quiet Feather. “Wow they took it well” Feather meowed impressively.

Feather went off into the forest to hunt for something her campmates could eat, but then she got a chill down her spine.

“Feather…” some tom-cat’s voice echoed. “Who is here? I’ll fight you!” Feather hissed. “It’s me Dusk” he meowed. “Dusk? I do recognize that voice! Is that really you!” She squeaked eagerly like a kit. “But wait you’re dead”. “It is me” he replied, then he appeared in front of Feather, but his long ginger tabby fur was all starry like. “Is that really you?” Feather questioned. “Yes it’s me. I’m now a spirit one with the spirit-cats” he meowed. “Spirit-cats?” she asked. “We are a group of cats who’ve died in the past, Apple is one of us, Squirrel Tail is with us and even Bark is one of us spirit-cats” Dusk explained.

“Oh….But Dusk! It’s so good to see you again!” Feather purred. “It’s good to see you too Feather, but I need to ask you something” he meowed. “What is it?” Feather asked “Have you heard of that prophecy the cats from the mountains maybe told you about, the five bright stars will shine after the darkness is gone” Dusk meowed. “Yeah they told me they also told me that Squirrel Tail told them and they’re not really stars, but something else and also we really never gossip about it” she meowed. “Yes that prophecy will indeed come, but not right now it will come in a couple of moons when the next green-leaf comes” Dusk meowed.”Right now it’s the last day of green-leaf tomorrow is leaf-fall. Feather meowed. “Yes and you’re one of the cats who is the chosen one of this prophecy” Dusk meowed. “What? I’m the chosen one? And who are the other cats chosen for this prophecy? And-” Dusk began to fade away Feather meowed “Please don’t leave” Dusk nodded “You’ll find the one of the chosen cats when the sun will never set” He meowed then disappearing. “Wait what does all this mean?” Feather whispered
