      Yowling, running in all directions.  Cats everywhere running across a log away from the island.  Just as everything was at its worst the log collapsed leaving helpless cats drowning.  Warriors swimming across supporting the weight of others on their backs.

      "Then I woke up I don't completely understand but I've been having dreams like this for a few sunrises," Lightningpaw explained, "so you see I was wondering if you as a medicine cat might understand the reason why."

      "Well I don't know, but it sounds like the collapse 8 moons ago," Mappleheart meowed half to herself, "Just tell me if you have any different dreams than this."  She padded back to the medicine den leaving me alone in the clearing.

     .  .  .

      "Ok daughter it's time for you to go on dawn patrol with Tallbranch, Cloudmane, and Jayscratch," Hawkscreech announced from atop the high tree.

      We padded towards the temporary border that we'd made (just to have a feel of normality).  Cloudmane showed me how to mark the border.  When we reached the outer edge of our territory Jayscratch heard a rustling in the bushes and a group of rogues jumped out.

      "Get off of our territory you stinky Fox hearts," Jayscratch growled.

      "Really I heard the dumb Clan cats had finally run away like a bunch of scaredy cats.  So now we've come to take back what's rightfully ours," the lead rogue purred, "By the way the name's Growl.  Hope never to scent you again."  With that he padded away calmly with the rest of his group.

      "Lightningpaw run, run as fast as you can back to the clan and tell them. Don't let anyone or anything get in your way."  So I sped through the forest as fast as I could  streaming through the training area not even bothering when Birchcloud yowled at me.

      Lightningpaw raced through the camp entrance at Sunhigh and yelled for Stormstar...

      ..."Stormstar Stormstar, a group of rogues just infiltrated our territory, they said that they were here to take back the lake.  They were led by a rogue named Growl.  He had Crimson fur, a scar on his face and Dark brown stripes."

      "Okay," Stormstar growled, "thank you for coming here and letting me know. I imagine your siblings will be coming into the clearing soon."  Right then Firepaw and Snowpaw came padding out of our den with super messy pelts.
