MarbleFang wandered around camp aimlessly just waiting for something to do.

Soulstar turned around and scented her "Sorry, I'm about to go patrol with Lightheart. Want to come?"

Ghostpelt stays in Shadow-woods.

Treesap purred as he groomed his mate, Gingerspeck. He looked at his sister Goldheart, who just came back from a hunting patrol. The ground was cold, but everything else was perfect. Treesap scanned the camp, wondering where his brother Mintleaf was. Treesap saw Gingerspeck watching the kits from the nursery. "Don't worry. One day we'll have kits like that. Strong,healthy, and beautiful kits..." Treesap purred. Gingerspeck gave him an affectionate lick. He instantly fell asleep, darkness creeping over him. He jolted awake, to find his mother Autumnleaf by him.

"Autumnleaf!" He gasped. Treesap was still in Soulclan camp, with everyone else a shadow. There was a litle light in the nursery. "Oh, look at you! My mighty warrior.." She teased, "Follow me. It's time you learned who else is in the prophecy, before your time of heroic acts comes..." Autumnleaf got up and stalked towards the nursery, Treesap following a tail-length away. "Deadkit and Lionkit are part of the prophecy", she purred, "They will grow to take on the second part of the prophecy.."

"Seems like some apprentices got their warrior names." Meows Snowstorm. "Yes, their names are now Treesap, and Goldheart." Flametail purred. Snowstorm sighs. "I am really smart. I wonder if I am part of the prophecy..." mews Snowstorm. "You're not. Every cat can be smart." Mews Flametail. "Okay. I just wish I could see my family again.." cries Snow- storm. "You will, I just wonder if they are in star clan." meows Flametail. "DON'T SAY THAT TO ME!" Snowstorm yells loudly. "Sorry."

"Lets sit down together." Grayspring spoke. "Okay." Snowstorm brightened up. They go and sit down together at the nursery den. "You thinking about our kit?" Flametail purrs. "Yes. They are so cute, they arrived to the clan 5 moons ago" Mews Snowstorm, looking at her kit, Nightkit.

Nightpaw looked around. "She isn't here!" She growls."She'll come back." Deadkit replied. "I'm going on a walk." Nightpaw whips around angrily and mutters. "Hey,you okay?" Lionpaw asks as he walks over."She wasn't there.'Till then, I'm going to-" Nightpaw looks up and sees Goldpaw. Her gaze meets hers and she freezes. Nightpaw's eyes burn and she digs her claws into the ground to keep her self from snapping. She doesn't finish her sentence with Lionpaw because her vision is clouded with red. She storms out of camp, hearing calls but ignoring.

Nightpaw walks farther and farther, her fur lying flat.She takes breathes and paces.She can't control her anger.Nightpaw realizes and slows down her pacing to a stop.Someone is going to end up hurt if she's around.Her ears flatten and she sighs.Nightpaw turns to walk away when something rams into her.The ground flies up."There you are!" Lionpaw says breathlessly.Nightpaw pushes him off of her self."You could have just walked to me!" She yelled in anger as she raises her paw to her muzzle.

Nightkit looks at his mom. He runs off."Do you know where Nightkit is?" Snowstorm asks, worry in her eyes. "No, I don't." Flametail says."No one will get me...: growls.

Lionpaw stares at Nightpaw's muzzle. "Sorry." Nightpaw calms herself, and her gaze softens. "Do you realize how long you've been gone? It's been 2 hours!" Lionpaw exclaims. Nightpaw can clearly see it was dark. "Let's get back to camp." Lionpaw mews. "Okay." Nightpaw meows, feeling a bit better.

"Treesap, more secrets must come out now..." Autumnleaf meowed, her eyes full of sorrow, "Mintleaf is not your brother, and he isn't part of the prophecy. I brought him in, because they wanted the best for him... I'm sorry I never told you. Oh, and tell your sister everything, including that Oakear is her father." Her body faded away.
