Full Moon

Proluge
A ginger she-cat raced through the trees, not stopping to congratulate a sand colored tom as he jumped on a vole.

"Fishstar? Where are you going?"

"I can't talk now, Sandpelt!"

Fishstar skidded to a halt beside a pool of water, star-light flickering in the pool.

"Fishstar, I didn't know you would be here this early."

A black tom with a white tail tip padded through the bushes and sat beside Fishstar.

"I know,Moletail. But I couldn't be late to this meeting! It's much too important."

"You were always a impatient one." Moletail licked his mate and turned his head sharply as a black and white she-cat jumped down from a cliff.

"When do we start? I need to go hunting with Pebblefoot later. Hes been jumpy."

"Be patient, Hazelfur. We are still waiting for Duskstar."

Just as she meowed the name, a large, smoke gray tom padded into the clearing. He took a drink from the pool and then sat down.

" Start the meeting."

"Yes, Duskstar." Hazelfur meowed

"Featherfoot should not have had those kits." Fishstar started.

"We all know that, she must not be distracted form the prophesy. Even more so that Tigerstar,Breezepelt, and Hawkfrost are planning to destroy StreamClan. All the Clans but StreamClan have agreed to attack them. StreamClan will be driven out. Unless Featherfoot is completely focused on the prophesy. She can't be hurt in battle, remembered. She can take one all the Clans, and not be hurt." Moletail meowed.

"What about Talonwhisker?"

"Nettleclaw" Darkstar meowed fiercely. He couldn't help but be proud that Nettleclaw chose NightClan, his Clan, over StreamClan.

"What ever. He already has his eyes on Tallpoppy. He can't have kits eather, he can control water, he just doesn't know it yet. We must have a cat that also had this power but over used it. Waterblaze!"

A blue cat with blazing amber eyes ran in

"What? Is the Dark Forest attacking again?"

"No, We need you too mentor Nettleclaw in water power, he must prepare StreamClan and NightClan for the Darkforest. The Dark Forest say they will bring the other three Clans to greatness. They won't, they will destroy all the Clans. Then the warrior cats will be finished. Forever."

Waterstar nodded.

"The Warrior Cats will survive!"

Chapter 1-Featherfoot
"Haha Wildkit! You can't catch me!"

Hawkkit ran away from the mottled, ginger and white she-kit and raced right into Sandfoot.

"Featherfoot! Control your kits!"

They're just having fun!

Featherfoot grumbled under her breath. Snowkit and Skykit were asleep in her nest. They were three moons old and they already snuck out of camp, Filled Frogpaw and Firepaws nest with beetles, and told Fogpaw, the newest apprentice becuase his littermates, Frogpaw and Firepaw, dared him to cross the Thunder Path. He did, and his front paw got caught. Nothing serious though, that his fresh-kill was in the tunnel to the right, otherwise known as the Dirt Place Tunnel.

Featherfoot sighed. They were hard work. Lionstorm came to see them often. Giving her a break when he took them to play in the trees.

"Ok, Sandfoot. Go moon over Brambletalon!"

Sandfoot blushed and padded out of camp.

Featherfoot turned around Wildkit. She was beutiful. Then she turned around Hawkkit. He was handsome. His black stripes stunning against his silver pelt.

"No more chase! And don't go into the nursery. I finally got you sister and brother asleep."

Hawkkit and Wildkit loward they're eyes. They never got into trouble. At least besides running into warriors when Snowkit filled they're nest with ants.

She sighed again.

"Stop sighing! I'll take them beetle hunting!"

Featherfoot turned around to see Lionstorm padded towards her.

"Thank you! I needed a walk. Snowkit and Skykit are giving me a gray muzzle!"

Lionstorm nuzzled her.

"Have a nice walk."

Featherfoot stalked the mouse and then pounced, her kill hanging in her jaws. She had already caught five mice. Leaf-bare was amazing. Featherfoot buried her kill and then she heard yowls of insults and threats.

NightClan!

Featherfoot ran to the border. She was just in time to see the cats jjump at each other. More NightClan cats swarmed over the rise.

''Wait! ''

Featherfoot looked harder.

''Thats Braveheart! Webtail! LIttlestripe! Webtail!''

More CloudClan cats swarmed around the StreamClan patrol of seven cats. There was at least thirty cats coming towards her Clan.

Run!

She thought. Then she saw her Clan-mates turn and flee.

''Nettleclaw! ''

Her brother was chasing away Duskfog.

Featherfoot jumped up and jumped on her brother, scratching his eyes.

"What are you doing? Your hurting me!"

"You betrayed your Clan! Your no brother of mine!"

Featherfoot closed her jaws around his neck and threw him away. He landed with a thump and got up dazed, and crawled away.

''Good! Run! You fox-hearted piece of badger-dung!''

She was still cursing her brother. She didn't notice she was taking out her anger on fighting. Only a few cats were left battling her. Featherfoot was tired. She summonded up all her courage and fighting skill and kicked out, sending a cat flying. she turned around and saw it was Cloudstar. He wasn't moving.

''Oh, StarClan! I killed him!''

The cats backed off.

"Cloudstar!"

Chapter 2- Nettleclaw
Nettleclaw woke up. He had been on the hunting patrol, the border patrol yesterday. He was exhausted. Now he was leaving for the Dawn patrol.

Great StarClan Im tired!

Nettleclaw pushed away his tiredness and sat up in his nest, giving himself a complete washing. Then padded past the sleeping cats. He felt something soft and squishy.

"Get off my tail!"

Whitestripe!

"Ugh, really Nettleclaw? I tried to be friends with you, but every time you go out on the dawn patrol, it's always my tail that gets stepped on!"

Nettleclaw thought he was serious for a moement until he saw Whitestripe's eyes glinting with amusment and his whiskers twitching.

" You are on the patrol too! Get up lazy bones!"

"Great StarClan! I was just dreaming of flowers and the little birds and bun- Hey! Stop looking at me like that!"

Nettleclaw was trying not the laugh, his whiskers twitchign with the pressure of not laughing, his eyes buldging with amusment.

"Flowers? Bunnys? Birds?"

"What? Warriors can't be have a soft spot for bunnys?"

"What ever, the patrols probually leaving. We better go"

Nettleclaw lead the way out of the den. The patrol was just leaving.

"Wow, I thought that StarClan themsleves came and took you! Why did you take so long?"

"Well Whitestripe here, was dreaming of bunnys, flowers, and birds."

The patrol laughed. Whitestripe looked down, embarresed.

"What ever. Lets go!"

The patrol came face-to-face with a CloudClan patrol.

"We were told by StarClan that you were going to attack StreamClan with us!" Cloudstar yowled.

"StreamClan?" the patrol meowed at the same time.

Everyone looked at Nettleclaw.

"How am I supossed to know? I don't just walk into StarClan and say'Oh yah! Lets attack StreamClan when everything is peaceful and just stir up trouble!'"

"He has a point" Kinkpelt meowed.

Blackears,Lichentail, and Stormheather nodded too. Nettleclaw and Whitestripe looked at each other.

"Did you do it?"

"Did you do it?"

"Good point"

Kinkpelt looked around.

"We will attack. They have been pushing borders since Nettleclaw came here. Will you attack with us? Maybe you should bring more Clan-mates. We need more then just ten cats to invade!"

"We were prepared."

Every warrior and apprentice in CloudClan rose up.

Kinkpelt nodded, narrowing his eyes.

"Lets go. There are no more patrols today."

"Fox-hearts! Badger-hearts! Mouse-dunged rouges!"

Insults were hurtled around.

"NightClan, Attack!"

Nettleclaw jumped on Brambletalon, hooking his claws into both his ears and ripping claw marks into both of them. He felt blood burst out of them. Nettleclaw flexed his claws. Brambletalon screeched when he saw his former apprentice. He backed off. Brambletlaon crouched low.

"You'll regret leaving StreamClan!"

Then he pounced.

Nettleclaw saw it coming.

He stepped neatly aside. He stuck his claws into his falnk as he lept past, clawing a huge, and deep claw scratch into his flank. Brambeltalon yowled and went limp. He was breathing.

Just in shock and knocked out.

Nettleclaw turned around and saw Duskfog pinning down Whitestripe, clawing out his belly fur. Nettleclaw narrowed his eyes.

That's my best friend!

He pounced. He grabbed Duskfogs thoat and flung him off. Duskfog jumped up and reared up to slam down on Nettleclaw. Nettleclaw rose up to meet him. They battled like dancing hares, Matching Duskfog step for step.

"CloudClan! Attack!"

CloudClan streamed down. StreamClan looked in shock. Brambletalon had just scrambled up. Nettleclaw was in a rush so he used Tigerstars move to kill him. Nettleclaw ripped open Brambletalons belly from his tail-tip to his chin. Brambletalon looked at him in shock, this his eyes rolled up. They glazed over.

Nettleclaw was soaked in blood. Brambetalons blood.

What have I done?

Brambletalon was laying, dead in a pool of his own blood. The blood soaked his belly wound that was still pumping blood.

Nettleclaw looked up when he heard a she-cat screech.

"Brambletalon!"

Nettleclaw looked around to see Sandfoot looking at him with anger,shock, and a little bit of killing mode.

"You killed the father of my kits!"

She lept on Nettleclaw, but blood caked him, drying his fur so her claws, already filled with other cats fur, didn't scratch him. Sudennley, Sandfoot vanished. Another cat met him.

Froststar?

no...

Featherfoot!

Nettleclaws eyes blazed with happiness at his sister.

"Take this, Talonwhisker!"

Nettleclaw looked in shock at her.

"wha-"

His meowed ended with a yowl as his sister clawed his eyes. They werent blind, but they weren't seeing too well eather.

"What are you doing? Your hurting me!"

Featherfoot looked in anger and anguish at him.

"You betrayed your Clan, Your no brother of mine!"

Then Featherfoot clamped down on his neck.

Shes going to kill me!

He relaxed when she just threw him against a tree. He started to black out when he clawed back to camp.

For the first time the thought came to mind,

Why did I leave?
