I looked at the fire that was all around me. The heat was making my pelt feel like it was scorching from the flames. I couldn’t stop though. I had to help get the clan out. I looked around frantically for my kits, but couldn’t see them. I could however, just barely make out Snowbird. The white she-cat queen was carrying her two kits, making her way quickly to the Gorse tunnel. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQVz6ARjoH
I through myself over the fire and ran to help Tigerheart’s mate Sasha.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYy0S2cHo2i
I got her to her paws and got her out. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37N4gGfjvo
I heard a yowl and spotted even more chaos. Littlecloud, our elderly Medicine cat, had gone down. He was half buried under some rock. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITTrhsxObe
I ran to help him, but was trapped by fire and collapsing dens. I felt pain surge through me as rocks fell on me and I was stuck. I couldn’t get out. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzehXMzCkzn
“Tawnystar!” yowled my eldest kit, and he dashed over to help me. So did my other kit and Squirrel Flight. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9n5CXhYvv
They started desperately digging me out. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInuYbW5JTa
As I looked, I could see Squirrelflight. Leafpool’s sister looked weak, as if she was sick or tired or something.

It’s a beautiful day at sun high. I’m sun bathing with my eldest kit Tigerheart. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbsq0P5m71
“Tawnystar, we have a problem. You better come quickly,” Dawnpelt says urgently to me. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCkVUSQXMk
I get to my paws and tell my deputy, Tigertail, “Watch over the clan,” before I run through the Gorse tunnel at my younger kit’s flank. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3QNUni4Or
We look at the scene in horror. I never would’ve thought there were any more traitors in Thunderclan. Apparently, there are. Thornclaw has lured his own Clan mates Sandstorm and Jayfeather into a trap. Dustpelt is with him. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeSR01tY11
I yowl and plunge myself into the scene, Dawnpelt behind me. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzeRE0TE7K
I jump onto Thorn Claw and rake my claws down his pelt, biting his hind leg while I’m at it. Thorn Claw is stronger, though and pins me down. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmmyyL3Xbb
“Leave her alone!” booms a familiar elderly Thunderclan tabby tom, and pull him off me by the scruff. It’s Tigerheart. He used to be Tigerstar, but is good now. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ntLUhdia0
I leave him to fight Thornclaw, and help Dawnpelt fight off Dustpelt. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfYONNRSxU
Dawnpelt and I rush over to the helpless Medicine cat and senior warrior. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPUwxm8kYQ
“Dawnpelt, get herbs,” I order. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IEZgsF9DG
“Which ones?” 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ681eQoJ5WN
I think for a moment before answering, remembering what Littlecloud uses for which injuries.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99UcluEgsT
“Cobweb to stop the bleeding and marigold for infection; if you can’t find cobweb, moss will do. Go. Run as fast as you can,” I order. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYAoZAvnez
I dig as fast as I can to loosen the fox trap around Sandstorm’s neck. I then gently pull her out by the scruff. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhM2AXJ5gF2
Next, I go to the Medicine cat. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO3mTdp76S
“Jay Feather, it’s me. Tawnystar. I’m going to help you.”659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqoHMCefnY
I drag him over by the warrior and then crouch down by them. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXBUTxbsU8
Dawnpelt soon comes back with the herbs I requested. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JNLMN1fYd
I stop the bleeding with cobweb and apply marigold for infection. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRnpMNwdSB
I turn to my warrior. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxkrrnYyJX
“Dawnpelt, get them home.”659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTKO4yHxeI
“Okay.”659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vFqXVuQMf
“What are you going to do, Tawnystar?”659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdXtihMnCz
“I’m going to help my father if he needs it. He’s not as young as he used to be.”659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8g46EoaqBE
She dips her head to me in respect and then I run to help him. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDiR6ASYUw
I soon defeat Dustpelt, but Tigerheart has fallen into the river. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwo1D88e1UU
“Tigerheart!” I yowl. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEq45slrvRe
I frantically search for him, but he has gone under. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVLAd8LTxb
I can’t let him die in the paws of the river. I have to save my father.

659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmj8jU3xDX
I plunge into the river, pushing my fear of water and drowning away. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMQNdjaUqI
I grab his scruff and resurface with him. He’s still conscious. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SRbjfGnTn
We haul ourselves back onto dry land, and for a moment, sit there panting from using all of our strength to survive. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZd6m2BIMYF
“Thank you, Tawnystar. You saved my life. I am proud to call you my daughter.”659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnl13g50Ihp
His eyes shown with happiness.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaAKchIMTy
“And I’m happy to call you my father. You saved my life, too. Thank you, Tiger Heart,” I meow to him. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdZyNuJXzP
I walk him home and then pad back into my territory. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFTbswydtY
Thank you, Starclan. Thank you. You helped us all to save them, I silently pray to my ancestors. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeC5OJrFq9z
That night, I have a dream. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMhySgPhhq
“Greetings, Tawnystar.”659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArVuHwvvwg
“Greetings, Yellowfang.”659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMaKr2CSbe
“Great danger is coming, Tawnystar.”659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4R3LFYEC4b
“What? What danger?”659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsbMFIXPR8
“Don’t fret. In the time of need, I’ll be with you until the very end. I have a message. I have foreseen it.”659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwXyejaPbU
“What have you foreseen?”659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kU4s4qppr
“This,” she replies and then recites a prophecy.
659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFwFvDBeAk
“Danger will come659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6rH0BBtCd
The Thorn of the Claw659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1csYiRh1ds
And the Dust of the Pelt659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wbvDddRBc
Will rise659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFuoONgiIn
The cats of half and half659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXVllTQLi9
And the Star of Gray659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykgtsN9uwg
And others659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tNWVZTfWm
Will be in grave danger659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENqY5aFhkC
Clan will fight clan659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbE2DPZeI0I
Blood will spill blood659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgUk2xT5qh
The earth will bleed659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGEeF7oY04
And all will be lost659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2P8MJRVEm
And separated forever and ever659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6KMkF7T0C
Unless the Thorn of the Claw659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4b77bBj9f
And Dust of the Pelt are destroyed.”

659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTWBi3Made
I wake up with a start at sun high. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpe38eoAPC
No! I think. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxn4xnoubg
I know what it means. Half clan cats, Graystar, and others will be in danger. Our clans will fight and blood will be shed. Our clans will separate into clans no more. All of this will happen if Thornclaw and Dustpelt aren’t destroyed. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAjvMey5pJ
I dash out of the camp to Thunderclan at full speed. I have to warn them. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfKz37Bbgv
“Graystar! Jayfeather!” I yowl, as I race into the camp. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqr9EKVS3aN
I skid to a halt in front of the clan leader.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRD0e9QNqA1
“What’s wrong, Tawnystar? Where’s the fire?”659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVj2W6F0mYU
“Graystar, we’re all in danger. I had a dream from Yellowfang last night.”659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mRTlKlIWh
Jayfeather comes up to us. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDmLpdt6Fi
“What!?” 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdwcVJGgoG
He must’ve read my memory from last night. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjlA3IXyu9
“Yes, Jayfeather. It’s true. Thornclaw and Dustpelt are traitors.”659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgWUWoLGGy
“ We all know they are,” the deputy comments. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9MPtN7adS
I go on. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6c9RUsG4i
“They’re going to rise, clan will fight clan, blood will be shed, clans will be no more, and half clan and other cats will be in danger. They must be destroyed; stopped.”659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZZKUYSaS8
“Thanks, Tawnystar. Go home now. We’ll keep an eye out and strike if we see them. We exiled them yesterday.”659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxefQheLar
“How’s Ferncloud?” I ask.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdO1phu5pPS
“She’s healing from the shock of Dustpelt’s attack.”659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPmFqLmJq6
“And Sandstorm?”659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMgMlP57i5
“She’s almost healed. Thanks for your concern and telling us about your dream,” Graystar says. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Lt5PoECtg
I dip my head to my old friend.

A moon later, my clan and Thunderclan fight against Thornclaw, Dustpelt, and the surviving cats of Bloodclan.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCxro7c7zn
We fight and fight and finally win, killing them all. We win. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWL2pZvGCX
Our clans head home and are treated by our Medicine cats. Some of us are only minorly injured. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIp3EME7cA
A moon later, all of our cats are healed.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xOOpI4Nbc
There’s one thing I would like to say. Graystar died in leaf bare from Green Cough and Lionblaze becomes Lionstar. His deputy becomes my father, Tigerheart. This time, I know, my father won’t try murdering cats. He’s friendly like most of us. There goes to show you how the love of a parent or Starclan, can bring a lost cat or soul back from the dark side to the path of light and good. 659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7NM5winLQ
So we all live happily ever after in the forest.
