Well, this is the last chapter! I'll be posting the first chapter of the next book (allegiances and prologue) tomorrow under the title: Blue Moon: Book Two: A Journey

Bet you noticed the new cover! I made it myself and the featured cat is Amberpaw in case anyone was guessing. Feedback on it would be appreciated.

So, yeah... Be sure to check it out, that's where the real excitement begins. Just to let you guys know, there will be five books and they're each already fully-planned. :D

Three viewpoints in this one! Two of them are just one-offs and it is unlikely I will do them again, but I had to for this chapter.

Anyway, I do NOT own Warriors, no matter how many times I wish I did.

icefire - D'awww! Thank you, your support is really appreciated. I love AmberxMole and SeedxSnow, though a really awesome pairing will be coming up soon, starting at the end of the second book I believe? I love Reedwhisker, but he's almost as old as Bluestar, being born in Forest of Secrets!

Raggedstar 3 - Thanks -hugs- I love my reviewers and thanks for the feedback. This chapter will involve some of the minor characters, although In future I'll try to at least get a word out of each cat in the clan. :)

OoJayfeatheroO - He he, I love SnowxSeed.

coldgazeproduction - Am currently in the process of writing chapter one of the next book, I hope you'll like it! AmberxMole rock! As do SnowxSeed. :D

Hannah - I know right? Amberpaw's really got her heart set on Molespots though, but I CAN promise there will be a lot of AmberxRapid later on in the second or third book I think?

He he. It's funny how I talk so easily about these pairings, yet some of them I have already plotted how it ends. xD I feel evil. I have already planned the death of about 20 characters including a very humiliating one for Daisy. xD Anyway, on with the story!

Dewpaw's P.O.V.

It wasn't the same since the gathering. Everyone knew he had killed Shadepaw, the ShadowClan leader's son, and they seemed to look at him differently now.

I didn't mean it, He thought hopelessly as he padded towards the abandoned twoleg nest where he was meeting Amberpaw and Snowpaw, I'd do anything to go back and change it all.

But his clanmates didn't see him that way. He shook the thoughts away, he needed to try and work out what the rest of the prophecy meant.

That was the whole reason why he was meeting his littermates. They'd chosen the abandoned twoleg nest because it was secluded and it was unlikely that anyone would overhear their words.

Dewpaw wasn't even quite sure if they were supposed to keep the prophecy a secret, but it was better safe than sorry.

Arriving at the twoleg nest, he was pleased to find that Snowpaw and Amberpaw were already there, sat together under a tall barrier sort of thing. What does Millie call it? A brick wall or a fence?

He bounded over to greet his brother and sister, amber eyes glowing in the fading light. It was late sunhigh and the sun was starting to sink below the swath of dark green that was the forest.

"You came," Snowpaw meowed thoughtfully, "So you really believe in the prophecy now?"

Dewpaw nodded furiously, "A StarClan member screamed at me that it was true and that I was part of it, so I think I believe in it," he mewed humorously.

Amberpaw chuckled before falling solemn, "So, we've worked out we need to go to the old forest and we need to find SkyClan, what else did Feathertail say?" she asked, turning to face the snowy-furred apprentice beside her.

"'Four will spread its roots to five', perhaps that means four cats or"-

"The four clans!" Amberpaw suddenly meowed, amber eyes bright with enthusiasm, "There are four clans, perhaps it means the four clans will join together with the fifth clan!"

"StarClan?" Dewpaw asked, amber gaze blank.

"No, you mouse-brain," she meowed, affectionately thwacking him with her tail, "SkyClan!"

"'And return the sky to its rightful place,'" Snowpaw mewed thoughtfully, amber gaze distant. Dewpaw stared at him, chuckling softly to himself.

"SkyClan used to live amongst the other four clans, so perhaps 'its rightful place' is here by the lake, amongst the other clans? That also supports the theory that we have to join together with the fifth clan."

Dewpaw chuckled again, Snowpaw was so serious and mature for his age. Although what the white tom said sounded right, "Yes, but where would they have their territory?"

Amberpaw smiled, "That sounds about right!" she mewed brightly, "And as for that," she meowed, her attention drawing to the dark grey tom, "We can think about that later."

"So wait," Dewpaw meowed suddenly, "Us, three apprentices, have to travel a great long journey to the gorge where SkyClan live, through the mountains and twolegplace? We don't even know how to get there, we don't know what it's like there and for StarClan's sake, we're apprentices!"

"Good point," Snowpaw meowed thoughtfully, "You just made it sound a lot harder."

"Well we've worked out what the prophecy means," Amberpaw meowed positively, "And StarClan must know we're up to the task if they sent us the prophecy."

"When do you say we go?" Snowpaw asked.

Amberpaw inclined her head, deep in thought "As soon as possible, perhaps in a moon?"

Snowpaw seemed satisfied and gave a nod. Dewpaw stared at his littermates, eyes wide, "A moon! That barely gives us time to prepare!"

"But SkyClan need us," Amberpaw pointed out, "Cats could be dying right now whilst we sit here."

Dewpaw sighed, "I guess."

"Come on," Snowpaw meowed, leaping to his paws, "Let's get back to camp."

Both Amberpaw and Dewpaw nodded in unison, both rising to their paws and following their brother back towards the safety of camp.

Bramblestar's P.O.V.

Bramblestar liked to sit up on the highledge, especially on days like this. It was hot and the sky was blue and clear, not a single rain cloud in sight. The sun's scorching rays heated his dark pelt as he on looked his clan below.

Cherryflower sat outside the nursery, watching as her two kits played. Lakekit and Redkit, both bundles of energy, had been born a half moon ago but were already annoying the elders and getting up to mischief like any other kit.

The pale ginger queen still hadn't revealed the father, not that it bothered Bramblestar. True, it intrigued him, but it was new blood for the clan and that was good.

Squirrelflight was also out and enjoying the sunshine, her belly well-rounded with his kits. The dark ginger queen was sprawled out lazily on a smooth boulder, lapping up the warmth. It must've been quite a contrast, Bramblestar realised, one moment you're deputy and up to your ears in duties, the next moment you're a queen and required to do nothing.

It was almost worth becoming a queen just so you wouldn't have to do anything he thought with a chuckle, stretching out in the sunshine.

His attention was drawn to the three apprentices, Amberpaw, Dewpaw and Snowpaw. They were all so different he thought with a sigh as he watched them muttering quietly as they huddled together to share a squirrel.

Dewpaw had been much better behaved since his outburst in his Apprentice Ceremony and his confinement to camp. They all had promise, their own strengths.

Leafpool had just emerged from the medicine cat den, a bundle of leaves swaying from her jaws. Bramblestar watched her curiously. It was great to have her back as medicine cat and he knew how much being medicine cat meant to her.

She padded over to Cherryflower and dropped the herb bundle down by the fluffy ginger queen's paws. Molespots sat beside his sister and was playing with the kits.

"Throw the moss ball! I want to try and catch it!" Redkit chirped enthusiastically, dancing from paw to paw.

Molespots chuckled, picking up the moss ball and throwing it in the direction of the dark fox-red tabby tom kit, letting out a laugh as the small kit tumbled after it.

"I can catch that!" another voice sounded as Pebblekit came darting out of the nursery, a flash of golden fur. He leapt after the moss ball and caught it easily in his jaws.

Bramblestar smiled, Pebblekit showed great promise. Perhaps even as good as his father? His littermates also seemed to be warrior material and were almost five moons.

His amber gaze trailed down to where Lionblaze sat, sharing tongues with Cinderheart. The other four kits tumbled around nearby. Honeykit, Puddlekit, Mosskit and Stormkit.

They appeared to be playing a role play of a battle.

"I'm Crowstar!" Puddlekit announced, puffing out his pale grey chest fur in pride, "I declare war on ThunderClan!"

"And I," Stormkit growled in mock fury, "As Bramblestar, will never let you hurt my clan! Take another step closer and I'll rip you to shreds!"

The real Bramblestar purred at the young kit's impression of himself. It was strange to see another cat trying to be him, Am I really that serious all the time?

"I am Toadfoot, deputy of ShadowClan and I promise to fight for my clan until the last breath in my body," Mosskit announced, sitting up tall and narrowing her eyes to slits when she looked at "Bramblestar".

"But you're a she-cat! Toadfoot's a tom," Stormkit pointed out, inclining his head to the right, "That doesn't work."

Mosskit shook her head, "It doesn't matter," she meowed stubbornly, not meeting her brother's intense blue gaze.

Puddlekit shrugged and all eyes fell on Honeykit, "I don't want to fight!" she squeaked, shrinking a little, "I don't like fighting, it's violent and causes unnecessary bloodshed."

All kits stared at her in confusion at her sudden mature words, "Every warrior likes to fight," Puddlekit mewed, before staring at her in a strange way, "You don't want to be a medicine cat do you?"

"Oh no!" Honeykit mewed, shaking her head, "I want to be a warrior! I would never be a medicine cat, all those ill and hurt cats," she wrinkled her nose up in disgust, "I just don't like fighting."

Puddlekit relaxed, "Well, seeing as you don't want to fight, why don't you go and play with Pebblekit, Redkit and Lakekit," he suggested as gently as he could.

Honeykit stared at him for a moment, before replying, "Okay, I guess," she darted away in the direction of her brother and the other two kits.

Bramblestar smiled, sitting up and smoothing down his dark brown tabby fur. Dovewing and Bumblestripe were sharing tongues just below the Highledge. The two cats had become mates just after the battle against the dark forest.

He smiled, "They seem to be finding love younger and younger," he purred amusedly. He settled himself down again and let his eyes wander the hollow.

Dovewing's sister, Ivypool, was sitting with Toadstep, their pelts ever so slightly brushing as they talked and enjoyed the sunlight. Apart from Mousewhisker and Berrynose, the camp was otherwise empty. Most warriors were out hunting, patrolling or simply enjoying the sunlight.

I'm going to make the most of this day, he decided, scrambling to his paws and leaping off the highledge. He padded over to Squirrelflight and greeted her with a friendly nuzzle, "Should we go on a walk down to the lake?" he asked.

The former deputy smiled, returning the affectionate greeting, "I need to stretch my legs," she purred, "Yes, I'll come."

Leafstar's P.O.V.

Night had just fallen over the gorge. In a small cliff in the side of tall walls of stone, lay a brown-and-cream she-cat, her amber gaze clouded.

Her clan were experiencing tough times, with Twolegs building their nests all over the place. It wasn't in the forest itself, but the land just beyond the gorge, towards the old warehouse where the rats used to live.

The twolegs were scaring all the prey away and it was only so long until they discovered the SkyClan camp. And what happens then? The thought troubled her deeply.

Her dreams had been dark and more like nightmares lately; all except that one in which she scented ThunderClan scent. But that had been just over ten moons ago. How much longer can my clan afford to wait? How many more lives can we afford to lose?

Several of the daylight-warriors had made the leap and joined the clans as full warriors, but just a moon after joining, Macgyver had died of greencough. His best friend, Harveymoon, had been devastated. Sparrowpelt had also died after eating twoleg poison.

About a moon after becoming a warrior, Egg, had decided that SkyClan life wasn't for him.

Echosong had decided to retire to the Elders' Den and Frecklewish was now a permanent medicine cat. Patchfoot, Petalnose and Cherrytail had also retired recently. Leafstar herself was getting on in moons, she had two lives left and it wouldn't be too long until Sharpclaw took up the leadership of SkyClan.

But will SkyClan still remain by then?

Her clan had grown in numbers since Firestar and Sandstorm had visited, that seemed like so many seasons ago. Her kits were now warriors, strong, brave warriors.

"Leafstar," a voice whispered. The brown-and-cream she-cat looked up to see Billystorm peering in, "May I come in?" he asked.

Leafstar nodded, "Of course," she mewed softly, inhaling the sweet scent of her mate. Billystorm's kittypet days were distant now, the ginger-and-white tom was all warrior; nothing about him hinted that he had once been a kittypet.

The warrior weaved in beside his mate, pressing his soft fur against hers, "You know you don't need to ask to come in," she meowed gently, "You're my mate."

Billystorm lay down beside her, "I know," he answered simply, "It's just you've been distant lately."

Leafstar didn't reply for a while, her amber gaze clouding, "I'm exhausted, I'm going to go to sleep."

The ginger-and-white tom nodded, curling up beside her into a tight ball. Leafstar copied, slowly closing her eyes and letting exhaustion wash over her like waves of deep blue.

When Leafstar blinked open her eyes, she expected to find herself in her den, waking up to dawn's promising rays of sunlight, but instead she found herself in a thick, deciduous forest.

Beneath her paws was lush green grass, but she could sort of see through it to a starry sky. Everything else was the same, sort of transparent as well as glittering with starshine.

"This isn't like the skies that my SkyClan Ancestors roam," she muttered thoughtfully, stepping forward, "Perhaps I have found StarClan?"

"Indeed you have, Leafstar."

Leafstar stopped, heart beating faster than she thought possible. She looked up, amber eyes narrowed to slits, to see a bright ginger tom with a fiery orange pelt that looked rather like starshine clung to it.

"Firestar!" she bounded towards him and touched noses, "You came!"

Firestar smiled warmly, green eyes glowing, "Yes," he meowed calmly, his gaze seeing through the cream-and-brown leader.

"Wait," Leafstar suddenly meowed, "If you're hear… You must be dead," she uttered the last word as softly and quietly as possible.

"Yes," the ginger tom replied with a sigh, "I died about 10 moons ago, protecting my clan against the dark forest, but I can explain that whole thing to you later," he meowed, dismissing the subject with a flick of his fiery tail, "I'm here to tell you about something of much more importance than my death."

Leafstar nodded, swallowing the grief, Firestar is dead. She couldn't help but be sad, despite the fact that he was standing before her, looking strong as ever.

Firestar dipped his head before speaking to her, "StarClan are aware of your struggle, the clans too had to deal with twolegs building on our territory. We had to move away from the forest, travelling far to find our new home by the lake," he paused to survey her reaction to his words, "Several moons ago we sent a prophecy to three young apprentices of ThunderClan. They have been chosen as your saviours, the prophecy tells of them returning SkyClan to its original place, with the other four clans."

Move to the lake? With the other four clans? The thought frightened her, but she put on a brave face and nodded calmly to the former ThunderClan leader.

Firestar continued, "There is unclaimed territory just below the mountains near the lake, rocky like your territory here, you would have your territory there upon joining the other four clans."

Leafstar nodded, "Is this the only way?" she asked, amber eyes flooding with concern, "Won't the twolegs just stop building their twoleg nests at some points? Must we travel to unknown territory?"

The bright ginger tom shook his head grimly, "I'm afraid not, the reason I'm explaining this to you is to make your decision a lot easier, you don't have to move to the lake," he paused, "But it might be the only way to keep your clan safe."

Leafstar dipped her head, "Thank you Firestar, I appreciate your concern, but I need some time to think about this."

The StarClan warrior nodded, "Of course, but you must make your decision as quickly as possible. The three apprentices, I must tell you of them so you can find them easier."

Leafstar nodded politely, amber eyes calm.

"The firstborn," Firestar began with a smile, "Is Dewpaw. He's a dark grey tom, amber eyes. He has a sharp tongue, very stubborn, though an excellent fighter, he would make a good leader one day, if the time ever came," the ginger tom paused to take a breath, "Then there's the second one. Amberpaw, she's grey-and-white and has amber eyes, hence the name," he meowed with a chuckle, "She's much brighter than her brother, positive, enthusiastic and eager. She's very curious but doesn't really think things through. She can be very annoying though."

Leafstar nodded, making a mental note of the names and appearances.

"And finally, Snowpaw," Firestar mewed, purring, "He's a white tom, also with amber eyes. He's very intelligent, tends to be quite serious at times, though a lot of fun. He's also very eager and curious to know the answers to the many questions swimming around his head."

Leafstar bowed to the StarClan warrior, "Thank you for sharing this information with me, I will make sure that all my warriors are informed of what these cats look like so they can keep a look out."

Firestar smiled, "You have endured many hard times Leafstar," he meowed, touching his tail to her shoulder, "But your path isn't over yet, although hard, you must be strong for your clan."

"I understand, Firestar," she meowed with a dip of her head, "I will do my best."
