The blue-grey she-cat settled herself on a rock, staring intently for a bracken-colored tabby pelt.

A flash of brown caught her eye. "Evening, Oakheart." she greeted.

Oakheart nodded and mewed, "Bluestar."

A third pelt slipped past and hissed, "What am I needed for?"

Bluestar flicked her thick-furred tail. "It's a prophecy, Yellowfang. You know too well."

Yellowfang snorted. "Too many prophecies!"

"This one's important!" Bluestar snapped. She lashed her tail. "Flame will drown the sky. The Lake will dry, and the trees will burn. One cat will save the Clans."

Oakheart tipped his head. "Which cat?"

Bluestar shook her head. "I've no idea yet. Perhaps we will find out sooner or later..."

Yellowfang sniffed. "If you ask me, I thi-"

"YOU think that the Clans don't stand a chance!" hissed Oakheart.His fur fluffed up.

Bluestar yowled, "SILENCE!" She sprang to her paws. "The prophecy has been announced. Now we must send it to the cat."

Yellowfang whispered into Bluestar's ear. "Are you sure Firestar's kin can do this?"

Bluestar nodded. "I've got complete confidence in her."

.:Chapter 1:.
Solarpaw padded into camp, a fish in her teeth. She dropped it onto the fresh-kill pile and stretched. She flicked an ear as her sister, Lunarpaw, trotted over, her silvery fur glowing.

Lunarpaw had two toms flanking her; Darkpaw and Ripplepaw. Ripplepaw mewed, "Are you sure you don't want anything?"

Darkpaw insisted, "No more bedding for your nest?"

Lunarpaw was enjoying the attention. Giving Solarpaw a sly glance, she purred, "I'm sure, boys. Now can you go and be a use to the Clan, now?"

Ripplepaw nodded vigorously. "Can do, Lunarpaw!"

Darkpaw agreed quickly.

The two toms trotted off, mewing about how beautiful and glamorous Lunarpaw was. Solarpaw snorted. Lunarpaw was only a stuck-up jerk who charms toms to do her work. Solarpaw lay down and ignored her sister's sweeping plume of a tail brushing her shoulders.

Lunarpaw's smooth voice sounded, "Oh, Solarpaw? Sad knowing you'll never be as pretty as I am? HAH! You're right!" She grabbed a water vole and started to pluck at it delicately.

Solarpaw, not wanting to put up with her annoying sister, got up and went to her den. She curled up, hoping to have a dream - the only place where her sister wasn't. Solarpaw dozed off.

S''olarpaw stalked a mouse, keeping her long tail still as a stick. The mouse had no idea it would be fresh-kill in a moment.''

''Suddenly, Solarpaw's pelt felt like it was burning. The mouse had scuttled away, and Solarpaw growled in frustration. But the mouse was the least of her worries. The sky turned a flame color, like the color of Dawnstar's pelt.''

''The sky jolted to a harsh scarlet, like actual fire. Solarpaw backed away from a tree that was starting to catch fire. A branch fell down from it, and a piercing scream erupted from a cat. Solarpaw saw a black pelt and yowled in horror, realizing it was Darkpaw!''

''"DARKPAW!!" she screamed.''

Solarpaw jolted awake, her head spinning. Darkpaw's scream echoed in her head. She breathed heavily, her vision blurred. Her claws were dug into her nest and her fur bristling.

When her vision cleared, the speckled grey pelt of Stormpaw stood over her. "Solarpaw!" he exclaimed, his tone worried. "You're finally awake!" He sighed, releived.

Solarpaw glanced around. No flames. No yowling. Just RiverClan life.

Stormpaw continued, "You were yowling in your sleep. I got so worried! I had to wake you." He purred happily. "But since you're okay, I don't have to worry now!"

More coming soon!
