Warriors Book One: Chronicles of the Prophecies: A Prophecy of Four

Chapter 16

Lionstripe stared directly at the shape of Zizzeyelon. This couldn't be possible! She was shot by that twoleg all that time ago!

"H-how?" Lionstripe was suddenly rushed with emotion.

"I'm here to let you know that things will get better. Go to some of our old friends. They are what you need to look for. Good luck."

Lionstripe immediately woke up in the now Riverclan controlled Windclan territory.

Lionstripe looked around the empty plains of the former Windclan territory. Something didn't feel right to Lionstripe. Like something was watching him.

He didn't put the feeling away like most would. He kept himself on high alert and made sure there was nothing following him.

It pained him making the decision to leave, but if Thunderclan could easily turn on him without looking into the accusation further, he couldn't trust them. He was leaving behind many of his family. Lionblaze, Silentpaw, Hollyleaf, Strikeclaw, Cloudfang, ...even Jayfeather... Now that I think about it, why would Jayfeather put his apprentice in the area of certain death. It couldn't have been Jayfeather. But someone was being a two timer. There's a mole in Thunderclan if it wasn't Jayfeather that conspired against him.

Lionstripe couldn't continue thinking as he was attacked.

All Lionstripe knew was that he needed to get to a distance from the attacker and get a better sight of them.

He swiftly turned around and clawed the attackers face and got at a far enough distance from the cat.

"Who are you?!" Lionstripe demanded.

The attacker, which was a grey tabby she-cat, chuckled, "You are quick to react. Fast on your feet too. But you didn't use it for running away. Why is that?"

Lionstripe was utterly confused, "You sound like I'm in a training session. I don't need any. I've trained for a long time. I know moves no other cat can do."

"Everything is based on training now. I can tell that you've trained hard. But why didn't use the supposed 'moves no other cat can do'?" The she-cat asked.

"You ask a lot of questions you know." Lionstripe calmed down, "I didn't use my moves on you cause you were pretty slow to be honest. They wouldn't work on you that easily. I didn't run away cause I don't run from a fight unless absolutely necessary. You also didn't answer my question when I asked who you were."

The grey she-cat chuckled, "The name's Storm. I'm a loner as you clan cats call us."

"How did you know I was a clan cat?" Lionstripe asked Storm.

"You have their scent on you. I've also come by them before from time to time."

"That's good and all, but I'm trying to meet up with an old friend if you'll so kindly go away!" Lionstripe growled.

Storm just stared at him blankely, "Only if you let me in on your journey."

Lionstripe didn't have any time for games at all. It was better to just say yes and get it over with, "Fine! But don't be a nuisance! I need to focus on remembering my path!"

The grey she-cat just nodded her head as Lionstripe walked ahead and followed behind him.

It took Lionstripe...and Storm awhile to get to a twolegplace. Right in front of them, a big red twoleg den.

"Here it is." Lionstripe sighed in relief.

"What is here exactly?" Storm asked.

"It's not a what Storm. It's a who and I know them."
