Clan - mates gathered around the highrock, murmuring amongst eachother. At the base of the highrock stood two cats, one blue, and one white with black splotches. The blue she - cat looked to the white tom beside her, and couldn't help squealing. "Patchpaw, we're finally going to become warriors!" Patchpaw smiled, sitting and resting his tail on his paws. "Where is Sunstar? She's supposed to be doing our ceremonies," he murmured, flicking his gaze to the camp exit. "Mistpaw," Patchpaw mewed, with a hint of hesitation in his voice. "Yes?" The blue she - cat replied, bushing up her fur and pressing against her black and white friend. "What if... We don't get our ceremony?" Patchpaw whimpered, "What it we're not ready?"
Mistpaw couldn't help herself from snorting. Why would he think that? A leader would never lie, would they? A yowl from the highrock startled her, and she turned her gaze to spot Goldenblaze, the clan deputy on the highrock. The murmuring settled down, and Goldenblaze mewed uncertainly, "Sunstar is out of camp, the warrior ceremony will begin shortly. For now-" a loud shriek sounded from not too far from camp.

Cats stood, wide eyed and bristling. Murmuring erupted from the clan, and Goldenblaze worked to get the elders and kits back into their den. Mistpaw whimpered, where was Sunstar? Sunstar was her mother, and although she was proud that her mother was clan leader, she feared that the time would come when she would loose her. Goldenblaze growled in annoyance, "Patchpaw, Mistpaw, and Mousenose come with me. I want two warriors guarding ThunderClan camp!" Squirrelchaser, a rowan tom, and Meadowbreeze, a pale gray she - cat, stepped forward offering to guard. Mistpaw and Patchpaw hurried to their deputy, their bristling pelts touching. Mistpaw flattened her ears, forcing a wail back. What if it was Sunstar? She shook her head. Think positive! It was probobly just an eagle screetching, they had plenty of eagles here on ThunderClan territory. The small patrol of cats headed out of camp, ears flattened, teeth bared and claws drawn. The sickening stench of blood grew stronger as they approached the Big Oak, the biggest oak tree in ThunderClan territory.

Mistpaw spotted a golden pelt from the bracken, she raced forward, screeching in horror. "Mother!" She wailed, lapping at Sunstar's bloody body. Most paw's heart was thumping so loud that she was sure the cats back at camp could hear it. Mistpaw stretched out her silver paw and pushed Sunstar's body, surprised to find it twitch. "Mother?"
She heard loud gasps from the rest of the patrol when they saw Sunstar.
"Quickly, Get her to camp where Lizardtail can treat her!" Looking at her mother now, Mistpaw knew there was nothing Lizardtail can do. "Mistpaw.." She heard her mother groan.
"Mother.. P-Please.. You have more lives, don't you?" Her heart shattered as her mother rasped, "No, I'm on my last life, darling..."
She shook her head, burying her muzzle into her mothers fur. Patchpaw rested his tail on the grieving she - cats shoulder, eyes dull with grief and compassion.
Sunstar's body convulsed, and Mistpaw watched as blood gushed from her neck wounds quicker now.
Sunstar's rasping words broke the silence,
"StarClan.. Has a message..."
She murmured,
"T-The silver circle,
Ruler of night,
Shining w-with its glory and light.
Approach its might to be given the cure,
To make all cats once again pure..
I-It resides where the moon hides,
Under the cloak of black and white."
Mistpaw felt weak with confusion and grief, and the last words made her feel as if she would faint.
"M-Mistpaw, stay with Patchpaw.. H-Have his kits... There will be four, who find the cure.. Who save the clans..."
Her gaze darkend,
"Your kit will be one of them..."
The leaders eyes closed, and she took her last dying breath.
Mistpaw shook her head, This prophecy could NOT include her kits. She wasn't even a warrior, did this mean she was pregnant with Patchpaw's kits already?
