Clouds and Fire

Chapter 1

AshKit sat up. She was as excited as a twoleg kit finding one of the cats in her clan, today she would become an apprentice, and her brother GreyKit would become a medicine cat apprentice. "AshKit, aren't you ready? We can finally be apprentices together. I can't wait!" MossPaw said bounding up to her.

"Yeah, MossPaw I'm sooooooooooooooooooo excited to do work and not be able to play with GreyKit anymore." AshKit said nervously pawing at the ground.

"AshKit" MossPaw said sitting down next to her. "I can tell how you are scared but you don't need to be DarkStar will make sure you get the best suited mentor.

"But MossPaw I don't think anyone here is good enough to mentor me either they hate me or they are evil.

"AshKit!" MossPaw giggled. "No one is evil and DarkStar wouldn't have became leader if he didn't know what was best for his clan."

"All cats old enough to catch their own prey gather here under the great rock." DarkStar ended the conversation between the two cats, jumping on the rock he motioned with his tail to ShadowFoot and RobinWing the deputy and the medicine cat of DarkClan. All of the cats that were six moons or older walked and sat underneath the great rock.

"I'm sooooooooooooooooooo excited AshKit we're finally becoming apprentices." GreyKit said bounding over to them. "Anyway, its starting we need to get over there." The three cats walked to the front of the group,GreyKit sitting down proudly holding his head up and AskKit nervously pawing at the ground making holes.

"Ash..." Darkstar started but right then a grey tabby tom with black stripes and brown eyes that looked beat up came stumbling into the camp. He was bleeding from scratches and bites all over his pelt and he had a very infected scratch on his neck.

"DarkStar" he started.

"No, RobinWing go take him to the medicine den."

"Yes, DarkStar." RobinWing guided the beat up cat to his den comforting him the whole way. He was mumbling something to RobinWing. I wonder what he could be telling RobinWing. Ashkit thought.

"I will go talk to him this meeting has ended for now." Darkstar said leaping down from the rock.                                        
 
"I think we should follow them." Said AshKit to GreyKit watching them drag the cat into the medicine den.

"Oh I dunno," said GreyKit worry growing in his eyes "what if we get in trouble." He said looking at the ground and digging his paw into it.

"It'll be fine I swear on StarClan."

"Oh ok but you go first." GreyKit said holding out his paw to let AshKit go first. Hopefully I'm right StarClan help us. AshKit thought leading the way.

When AshKit and GreyKit got to the den they heard DarkStar's voice coming out of it

"So your saying that rogues are attacking ShadowClan right now and your clan wants our help?"

"Yes sir." A new voice replied, "many of our cats are dying and we ask not of rival clans but of cats needing each others help."

"No I think that you are asking becuase I used to live in that clan and you are trying to destroy our clan." DarkStar said his voice growing louder with anger.

"DarkStar calm down." AshKit heard RobinWing's voice say in a soothing way. "We should help. What if the rogues come and attack our clan?"

"I'll think about it." DarkStar said storming out of the cave like a bad-tempered cat that just got his rabbit stolen.

"Did you hear that GreyKit?" AshKit realized suddenly "Rogues are attacking the clans."
