^ That is the website, this is a snip-it of the story.
Moonpaw opened her eyes and saw she wasn’t in her den, but next to a giant, glowing rock. It was so beautiful. There was also a black tom, a blue-gray she-cat, and a gray tom with a white tail. They too were confused why they were around this shining rock. Moonpaw noticed she had seen the black tom at a gathering. He was walking in with Shadowclan next to Darkstar and a white she-cat at the gathering. Moonpaw didn’t know of the other two cats. They looked too old to be kits, but they did look younger than her. The blue-gray she-cat smelt of Thunderclan, and the gray tom with the white tail smelt of Windclan. Then, she smelt a cat from a clan that she had never smelt before. But she did have a faint scent of Thunderclan. Moonpaw looked up and saw a tortoise-shell she-cat perched on the stone. She noticed the other three apprentices around the stone were staring at the tortiseshell she-cat.
“Who are you?” the brown tabby tom meowed nastily. Moonpaw rolled her eyes at the tom’s rudeness.
“I am Spottedleaf. I used to be a medicine cat in Thunderclan a long, long time ago,” the she-cat on the rock meowed. “I have came to warn the Moon, Mountain, Water, and Death about a terrible evil. There will come five plagues and you all have to work together to save your clans. To figure out about those five plagues, you have to go to this rock and listen to what Cave tells you. Good luck young ones, and may Starclan be with you,” Spottedleaf meowed before she disappeared. Moonpaw and the other apprentices were still around the rock.
The black tom meowed to the other apprentices, “Let’s talk about this dream tomorrow at the gathering. Don’t tell anyone about this dream, not even your kin.” Moonpaw nodded, and the other two apprentices soon did the same. As soon as they nodded, the whole cave began to fade.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Moonpaw opened her eyes and saw she was back in her den. Who were those cats? They must be current apprentices, but she had never met them before. She looked outside and the sun was rising. Riverclan was full of activity. She wasn’t though. The dream left her very tired. Moonpaw felt like she was up all night.
Moonpaw covered her eyes in an attempt to ignore the rising sun. It almost worked too, but Greenflower walked in and meowed, “Come on! We’ve got a lot of training to do if you are going to represent Riverclan properly tonight at the gathering!”
She grumbled. Moonpaw meowed, “How about first I bring some fresh-kill to the elders?” Moonpaw hoped either Yewpelt or Yellowtail knew about the shining rock.
Greenflower replied, “That’s a great idea. Hurry up though, so we can go out. Longfang he said he’d take us and Rainwater on a patrol along Shadowclan border.”
Moonpaw nodded and left the apprentice’s den. She walked to the fresh-kill pile and picked up two fish out of the pile. Moonpaw padded into the elder’s den and dropped the fish on the floor. “I have a question, do either of you know of a glowing rock?”
Yewpelt stepped up. “I do. I remember hearing a story when I was a kit from an elder who heard the story when he was a kit of a Great Journey. The four clans traveled across the mountains led by Brambleclaw, Crowfeather, Squirrelflight, Stormfur, and Tawnypelt. I recall that they moved because of Twolegs. But the glowing rock used to be how the medicine cats communicated with Starclan. Why you ask?” Yewpelt meowed.
“When I was watching Snowkit and Icekit for Ruffledfur, I told them a story about a glowing rock, but they didn’t believe me,” Moonpaw lied. She then meowed, “Thank you for clearing that up.” Moonpaw turned and walked out of the elder’s den.
“Thank you for the fish,” Yellowtail called after her with a mouthful of fish.
Moonpaw walked up to Greenflower. Moonpaw’s mentor meowed, “Change of plans. We are going to patrol Windclan’s border instead.”
Moonpaw nodded. She and Greenflower walked up to where Rainwater and Longfang were waiting. Longfang meowed, “Follow me.” Moonpaw did so. When they got to the river, they all swam across it perfectly, for they were Riverclan cats. When they got about a fox-length away from where the Windclan border should be, they smelt fresh Windclan scents.
Before Moonpaw could point them out, Rainwater meowed, “They are moving their borders. I smell a stronger scent of Windclan over here,” he meowed as he started to creep thought the marsh. They walked silently to a top of a hill and stared down on it, looking for the cats. Moonpaw soon spotted six Windclan cats, three apprentices three warriors. One of the apprentices looked and smelt like the Windclan cat in her dream.
Longfang whispered, “On the count of three, attack them. One… Two…” He then paused. Longfang then yowled “Three!” and ran from the top of the hill, followed by the other Riverclan cats. Moonpaw tackled an orange tabby she-cat that must have been just made an apprentice. She tried to fight Moonpaw off, but Moonpaw flung the she-cat into a fence post. The cat ran off in the direction of Windclan camp.
“Dewpaw!” a white she-cat that Moonpaw had met at a gathering hissed at the cat running away. Moonpaw thought for a second and remembered her name was Daisyleaf.
Before Moonpaw could turn around to help Greenflower, four black paws with sharp claws dug into her back. Moonpaw kicked the cat off and saw it was too only an apprentice, no older than Dewpaw. The she-cat was white with black feet.
“You get her, Wetpaw!” a gray speckled tom meowed as he kicked Rainwater onto the ground, cheering on the white apprentice with black paws.
Moonpaw glared at the tom, but Wetpaw meowed thingyily, “Watch this, Liontail!” Wetpaw then tried to attack Moonpaw from the air, but Moonpaw stepped casually out of the way of the falling cat. The Windclan cat crashed onto the ground right onto her nose and soon started to bleed. Wetpaw ran after Dewpaw with her tail between her legs. Moonpaw smirked at the fact that the apprentice was fleeing from her.
She looked at the fighting, and Longfang was fighting Daisyleaf, Rainwater fighting Liontail, and Greenflower was trying to fight a brown tabby tom and the apprentice in Moonpaw’s dream.
Moonpaw charged at the apprentice and pinned him down. He meowed, “Do I know you?” when Moonpaw held him down.
“Yes, you do. Did you have a dream last night with Spottedleaf and a glowing rock? Well I am the silver she-cat,” Moonpaw meowed to the tom.
“Ahhh…” he meowed back. “Well, I’m Mountainpaw, by the way.”
“Moonpaw,” she meowed. When Windclan started to retreat, she meowed, “Don’t forget about the gathering.” Moonpaw then got off the cat and watched Mountainpaw run off, following Liontail.
Moonpaw smiled. She had a feeling she would be seeing a lot more of Mountainpaw.
~~~~~~
Moonpaw was back in camp. Fishtail, Rainwater, Greenflower, and Ruffledfur all had congratulated her for the battle. But her mom, Featherlife hadn’t said anything to her. That made Moonpaw a little sad. Moonpaw walked up to her mom and meowed, “Did you hear about the battle?”
“Yes, honey. I heard about it,” Featherlife replied with no emotion at all. Moonpaw felt a stab of pain.
“What’s wrong?” Moonpaw asked her mother. Her mom was a strong warrior, so she was usually excited when she heard that Riverclan won a battle. It was weird for her to show apathy.
“I found out I am going to have kits,” Featherlife whispered to Moonpaw. Moonpaw gasped. She remembered as a kit her mom would always complain about being in the nursery. The happiest Moonpaw had seen her mom was when they were hunting together two days after Moonpaw became an apprentice. Then, Moonpaw remembered she never met her father.
“Who’s their father?” Moonpaw asked her mother. When she asked the question, Featherlife looked uneasy. Like she didn’t want to tell.
Featherlife darted her eyes around to make sure no cat was listening, and she silently whispered, “Littlefeather.”
“Who’s that?” Moonpaw asked silently, confused. She had never heard of this tom before. Was he her unknown father?
“Littlefeather is a Shadowclan warrior,” Featherlife meowed, still whispering, “And your father.”
