A/N: Welcome to the sequel of Together We Stand! I'm Willowdream of ForestClan, but you can just call me Willow ;) If you're new to this series you might want to go read Together We Stand, it's the first book of this series. But technically you could read this without reading the first, but you might find yourself lost and if you do read the first book you'll know the background and about some of the characters and it'll have more meaning. :D I would suggest you do.

Prologue:
As she looked into his green eyes she felt no fear. They were just eyes- pure and simple. No, she was more afraid of his claws, permanently stained red.
"I need contacts," he growled, sinking those bloodied weapons farther into the ground.
"I can't tell you anything," she struggled to keep her voice from shaking; "I'm a loner, not a rogue."
His eyes narrowed, "Oh, but I think you can… you see, I've heard you had some association with the clan cats."
"I have not," she stood up straighter, her yellow eyes meeting his.
A blow was landed to her head, causing her to wince.
"Throw her out. We'll keep her daughter until she agrees to what we want," the dark gray tom hissed, "Akian, bring her in."
The young tom, probably around eight moons of age, dipped his head and exited the room. A yowl sounded from outside, sending the black she-cat's fur rising. Akian return shoving a similar she-cat around his age into the room.
"Nimble!" her mother called desperately.
The dark gray tom jumped off of his thrown and pinned Nimble's mother down, "Now, my dear Nadia, we'll just make a little deal. We'll keep your daughter until you tell us everything you know about the clan cats and infiltrate their ranks, leading them here; and you know why I want them so badly."
Nadia's yellow eyes narrowed in the harsh light of the abandoned twoleg den, "I wish that I was able to put down your request, Rezkin."
"Oh, you never could and you never will," he smiled devilishly before letting her up.
Her eyes met her daughter's one last time before she took off.
"She's my niece!"
"And she's my granddaughter!"
"And Ravenheart is my son. So stop it!" A dark ginger she-cat raised herself to her full height, "I'm not even from here, but you all are StarClan and you're worrying about something that you can't change!"
"Aliana is right," Swiftrace sighed, "If we want Ravenheart, Wildpaw, and Rabbitkit to survive this we're going to have to stop worrying and start doing. The clans are now in their paws, but we can always help them through."
"Ravenheart isn't even your son, Aliana!" a black tabby and white spotted she-cat hissed.
Aliana's amber eyes narrowed, "He'll always be my son, Birchstar. And I suggest that you do remember that it is you daughter who is trying to bring down the clans and kill her own daughter."
"You're at it again," a lean dark tabby she-cat stalked out of the undergrowth, followed by a couple other StarClan cats.
"Thundersong," Birchstar dipped his head, "We're sorry we started without you, you to Jaycall, Blueheart, Lilyfrost."
"And you Cloakedstar," Swiftrace made sure to add as the huge black tom emerged, "And Squirrelfang."
"Is that everyone?" Aliana asked.
Cloakedstar nodded and jumped up onto the boulder in the center of the clearing, "The two, innocent, cast away from their homes found each other as they were destined to. Now they must find the three bright hearts that are destined to save them. One kin. One rogue. One stranger. For old enemies find and come, vengeance set as an old scar into their hearts. One enemy for each of the three, only they can change the path that leads the forest to its death. Third a stranger, forever more, but will save the second half as before. Help a guided star they will seek, the first, and the guidance will set them forever more to be." He rehearsed the prophecy that he had given Blizzardstar so many moons ago, "You all know that Ravenheart and Rabbitkit of ForestClan and Wildpaw of FeildClan are involved in the prophecy. And you all know what enemy we're facing. I know that all of you have some connection to these cats and wish to see them alive when this is all over. However, remember that nothing is set in stone yet. Therefore I will appoint a guardian over each of these cats to strengthen their spirits. Aliana, since you are the only one with a connection to Ravenheart you will guide him, use your power to visit him in his dreams wisely. Thundersong, as the half-sister of Wildpaw you will guide her, the same goes for you; you have the power to visit her anytime you would like but please use it wisely. And Swiftrace, as the aunt of Rabbitkit I expect you to watch over her."
Swiftrace dipped her head to the ancient leader, "I will do my best."
Thundersong and Aliana nodded beside her, their eyes filled with determination.
"If anything happens to them the young ForestClan and the even younger FeildClan will certainly fall. This is a request that I do not take lightly, for it will be you that might have to save them and risk yourselves for their lives. Each of you from this point forward has a special connection to them. You'll feel their pain, their despair, their emotions. This way you can always know if they are safe." Cloakedstar finished, slowly shaking his head before disappearing back into the bright forest.
If one falls they fall; if they fall all will fall.
