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. 834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbGE0OeFoV
I through myself over the fire and ran to help Tigerheart’s mate Sasha.834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJ8C90gKZF
I got her to her paws and got her out. 834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEoqQ2fTC9
I heard a yowl and spotted even more chaos. Littlecloud, our elderly Medicine cat, had gone down. He was half buried under some rock. 834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfREtxMVtTp
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. 834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsokBQbyar
“Tawnystar!” yowled my eldest kit, and he dashed over to help me. So did my other kit and Squirrel Flight. 834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekkXbDYtse
They started desperately digging me out. 834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwAnleKZxX
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. 834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnYWm00PWQ
“Tawnystar, we have a problem. You better come quickly,” Dawnpelt says urgently to me. 834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwLbWmqSbH
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. 834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BZkzyQEf0
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. 834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtt2qKwAxE8
I yowl and plunge myself into the scene, Dawnpelt behind me. 834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB70eU5cxxh
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. 834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnslewLQ5D
“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. 834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyE11hydc4
I leave him to fight Thornclaw, and help Dawnpelt fight off Dustpelt. 834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6DPQszqvY
Dawnpelt and I rush over to the helpless Medicine cat and senior warrior. 834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhOsIhiEaC
“Dawnpelt, get herbs,” I order. 834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2WvJqLbMt
“Which ones?” 834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCP6HZp2eoA
I think for a moment before answering, remembering what Littlecloud uses for which injuries.834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGijwXguN1
“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. 834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2SQWgFFCi
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. 834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaSQFl2yoE
Next, I go to the Medicine cat. 834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlap9JZszYd
“Jay Feather, it’s me. Tawnystar. I’m going to help you.”834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTdoVEUHhg
I drag him over by the warrior and then crouch down by them. 834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuPUacOrze
Dawnpelt soon comes back with the herbs I requested. 834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qHtim6K3H
I stop the bleeding with cobweb and apply marigold for infection. 834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jvlE48Jrr
I turn to my warrior. 834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0sARibtth
“Dawnpelt, get them home.”834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWYwgc1Htz
“Okay.”834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmHgQsqf21
“What are you going to do, Tawnystar?”834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIqGBqpTsx
“I’m going to help my father if he needs it. He’s not as young as he used to be.”834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIolmV1z01
She dips her head to me in respect and then I run to help him. 834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvrGJHV9GM
I soon defeat Dustpelt, but Tigerheart has fallen into the river. 834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0ICpDeUjV
“Tigerheart!” I yowl. 834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiprnFHeP8Q
I frantically search for him, but he has gone under. 834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UUKUMEsaS
I can’t let him die in the paws of the river. I have to save my father.

834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1V99glRNiY
I plunge into the river, pushing my fear of water and drowning away. 834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjh6mM3MchP
I grab his scruff and resurface with him. He’s still conscious. 834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkZ86kM3Hr
We haul ourselves back onto dry land, and for a moment, sit there panting from using all of our strength to survive. 834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepkYat74S4
“Thank you, Tawnystar. You saved my life. I am proud to call you my daughter.”834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkP9Offrh1
His eyes shown with happiness.834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrDJZsspD9
“And I’m happy to call you my father. You saved my life, too. Thank you, Tiger Heart,” I meow to him. 834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFdUc08ws3
I walk him home and then pad back into my territory. 834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYhQld49vS
Thank you, Starclan. Thank you. You helped us all to save them, I silently pray to my ancestors. 834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GmiKDoVxy
That night, I have a dream. 834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyV6TMCs0i
“Greetings, Tawnystar.”834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6lg8gXKnK
“Greetings, Yellowfang.”834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79dqfhoYNL
“Great danger is coming, Tawnystar.”834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZe4ed5ker
“What? What danger?”834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tKQptx1Jr
“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.”834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7VY5yrTox
“What have you foreseen?”834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGzt3wpRpC
“This,” she replies and then recites a prophecy.
834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BKSPoFILt
“Danger will come834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSWsh2LRXi
The Thorn of the Claw834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPSTIQpHil
And the Dust of the Pelt834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxq8TwpfeaQ
Will rise834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFJGxEX08w
The cats of half and half834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0V3J91QBQ

Unless the Thorn of the Claw834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcRuDxi96U
And Dust of the Pelt are destroyed.”

I wake up with a start at sun high. 834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlU3qMhTBi
No! I think. 834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaCsprmrLp
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. 834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PSKDuOUTz
I dash out of the camp to Thunderclan at full speed. I have to warn them. 834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jvG8NXtNl
“Graystar! Jayfeather!” I yowl, as I race into the camp. 834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGuldxm5Fr
I skid to a halt in front of the clan leader.834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZhZCYoCT7
“What’s wrong, Tawnystar? Where’s the fire?”834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIblMo0Utp
“Graystar, we’re all in danger. I had a dream from Yellowfang last night.”834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUnEnuN2Ke
Jayfeather comes up to us. 834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTXnZfTN8K
“What!?” 834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEn560emR8J
He must’ve read my memory from last night. 834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2o6nDra3GC
“Yes, Jayfeather. It’s true. Thornclaw and Dustpelt are traitors.”834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXaNS9lSqE
“ We all know they are,” the deputy comments. 834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGc5nS8MqXZ
I go on. 834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNo6itvxOQ
“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.”834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn67pkAfQ2A
“Thanks, Tawnystar. Go home now. We’ll keep an eye out and strike if we see them. We exiled them yesterday.”834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOUaP93bh0
“How’s Ferncloud?” I ask.834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53NpzfAlyq
“She’s healing from the shock of Dustpelt’s attack.”834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPggPqyer9
“And Sandstorm?”834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4i9O81Fi7o
“She’s almost healed. Thanks for your concern and telling us about your dream,” Graystar says. 834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDIaI70zBE
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.834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdQQUZbKgN
We fight and fight and finally win, killing them all. We win. 834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oV0CamSN0
Our clans head home and are treated by our Medicine cats. Some of us are only minorly injured. 834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfG2UmLJUz
A moon later, all of our cats are healed.834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4m8j97FcG
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. 834Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbBH5aWMyA
So we all live happily ever after in the forest.
