Prolouge - The Chase [/center] Pawsteps echoed off the trees as a cat ran for her life. She looked behind her as she heard the howls and snarls of the dogs that were chasing her. When a log came in her path, she leaped, but her back paw caught and she tumbled to the ground. The kit she was holding in her mouth squealed, feebly squirming around, it's tiny paws slashing at it's invisible attacker. The mother scrambled up as she heard the dogs a mouse-legnth away from the log. She began to run again, her green eyes alive with fear. When she heard the dog's barking get louder, she she darted right and leaped into a fern. Putting down the kit, she licked its head. As a red brown dog growled as it stopped next to the fur, it put its nose to the ground and growled when it reached the fern. The mother cat's hissed, grabbed her kit by the scruff, and shot off. All of a sudden, a huge black dog raced in front of her and snapped at her face. She ducked down just in time, throwing the kit into the fern. The kit landed with a small 'thump'. The mother slashed at one of the dogs, only to be picked up and thrown against a tree. She slid to the ground, and lay still.

Chapter One
"Owlkit, geroff me!" A small silver she-kit with light blue eyes pushed off her denmate. She sat up and licked her paw. "Why do you always do that?"
Owlkit was giggling. "Because you're so small, Dreamkit. Why else? And you should've heard yourself!" Owlkit was rolling around on the ground.
Dreamkit looked at her tiny paws. She was as old as Owlkit, seven moons, but she couldn't help being smaller then the rest. She sniffed and hissed, "Well, you don't know how it feels!"
Owlkit rolled her eyes and snorted. "Sure."
Dreamkit flopped down in her nest and curled herself into a tight ball. If only people could see I can do things, no matter how small I am! A determined look flitted across her face. She stood up and marched out of the nursery, ignoring Owlkit.
"Where you going?" Sootkit, a smoky brown tom-kit with amber eyes padded over to her.
Dreamkit cringed when she heard his voice. "Er, nowhere. Hey, could you do me a favor?"
"Um.. I guess."
"Great! Go tell Owlkit that Winterstar wishes to see her in her den."
"Okay."
She slipped behind the warrior's den and quietly slank over to the mud wall the circled around the WindClan camp. Luckily, the mud was new and still fairly wet, so Dreamkit could sink her claws in and leap down the other side. Not midning the mud on her belly, paws and chin, she smiled when, for the third time, set her eyes on the Moorland. A wind blew across the hills, making the long, green grass ripple. She looked around, and ducked when she saw a rabbit. Slinking forward, she leaped, missed, and fell to the ground. Scolding herself, she shook herself.
"And what are you doing outside of camp?"
A cold voice chilled her heart as she turned around to face Badgertooth. "Eheh.." Dreamkit gave a weak smile when she met the tom's ice blue eyes.
Badgertooth shoved the kit forward, and Dreamkit scampered back to the camp entrance.
"Dreamkit! Thank StarClan!" Dreamkit's mother, Honeyfur, purred and covered her daughter's face with licks. "You're covered in mud! Oh goodness, you must be freezing!"
Dreamkit grunted and pushed way from her mother. "I'm fine!" She snapped. "Can't you see that, you blind hedgehog?"
Honeyfur was silent. She backed away from her daughter, and sat down. "Dreamkit, it's okay to be scared, I-"
"Scared?" Dreamkit laughed. "What makes you think I was scared? I went out of camp on my own!"
"Why?"
Dreamkit sighed. "Because nobody can see who I really am. All they can see is my size." She walked off slowly, dissapearing into the Nursery.

Chapter Two [/center] "Hi, Finchpaw," Smiled Redpaw as he gazed into the she-cat's eyes. Finchpaw grumbled. "Erm, hello." "D-d-do you.. um.. wanna go huntin'?" "No, actually I don't. I'm patrolling the eastern border with Nightpaw, Barknose, and Amberleaf." "Oh." Redpaw shuffled his paws. "I'll come with you! I'll go ask Cloudfur!" He began to race away. "N-" Finchpaw began, but the apprentice was already gone. Redpaw had liked Finchpaw ever since their eyes met when they were kits. Finchpaw hated him with all her heart. All of a sudden, Redpaw skid in, crashing into Finchpaw, their noses pressed together. Redpaw smiled and pinned his ears in embarresment, and Finchpaw flung herself away, disgusted. "Who do you think you are?" She demanded, causing Nightpaw, who was putting in fresh bedding, to look up and stare at Redpaw. "Er.. sorry." Redpaw turned quickly, smiling. We're going to be warriors soon.. Now I just need Finchpaw to like me."You okay?" Nightpaw trotted over to his friend, flicking his ears. "Sure, I guess." Nightpaw nodded. "Yeah, Redpaw.. well, he's a real jerk. And I think he's got a major crush on you." "Oh, you think?" Finchpaw snorted. "He never leaves us alone." Nightpaw chuckled. "I think you mean he never leaves you alone." --------------- "All cats old enough to catch their own prey gather under highrock for a Clan meeting!" The words echoed around camp as Winterstar leaped up a tall rock in the center of camp. As WindClan emerged from their dens, Redpaw scuttled over to where Nightpaw and Finchpaw sat making Finchpaw roll her eyes. "We have a special ceremony today. Redpaw, Finchpaw, and Nightpaw, please come forward." The three apprentices exchanged excited glances and stood next too the rock. "Nightpaw, from now on you will be known as Nightspirit. StarClan honors your kindness and bravery, and we welcome you as a full warrior of WindClan." The white she-cat leaped down and put her muzzle on the tom's head. In reply, Nightpaw respectivly licked her shoulder. "Redpaw, from now on you will be known as Redwhisker. StarClan honors your friendship and bravery. ThunderClan welcomes you as a warrior." She did the same to Redpaw as she did to Nightpaw. "Finchpaw, from this moment on you will be known as Finchwing. StarClan honors your intelligence and bravery. ThunderClan now welcomes you as a warrior." [/size]

Thank you. :)
Chapter Three [/center] Dreamkit sighed as she sat outside the nursery, staring at herself in a silver puddle. "Dreamkit." Honeyfur padded up to her daughter. "Come, it's time for bed." The silver she-kit followed her mother into the nursery. She flopped down with her mother in their nest, curling into a tight ball. --------------- "All cats old enough to catch their own prey gather under highrock for a Clan meeting!" Winterstar's yowl jerked Dreamkit awake, and she realized that her mother wasn't there. She ventured outside and soon found the golden she-cat with Sparrowflight. "Come here, Dreamkit! Oh.. your fur - which looks like a beehive - needs to be groomed.." Honeyfur started to lick her daughter's fur vigiorsly. "Hey! Moooom!" "I think Owlkit, Shadowkit, and Dreamkit will take pleasure in this ceremony. The three of you, please rise." Dreamkit yanked herself away from her mother and sat next to Shadowkit. "Shadowkit, please step forward," Winterstar mewed, leaping down from the highrock. The kit leaped forward, excitement shimmering in his electric green eyes. "From now on, until you become a warrior, you shall be Shadowpaw. Amberleaf, please step forward." The golden she-cat, with a surprised but prideful expression, purred and stood next to Shadowpaw. "Amberleaf," Winterstar continued, "You have great loyalty and a fierce, fierce strength. I give you Shadowpaw as your apprentice. I know you'll teach him well." Shadowpaw and Amberleaf touched noses, and joined the rest of WindClan. "Owlkit, please step forward." The black and blue-gray she-cat stepped forward with her nose and tail in the air. "Owlkit, from now until you are made a warrior, you will be known as Owlpaw. Featherpelt shall be your mentor." The young gray she-cat froze with shock. "Me?" Winterstar nodded. "Featherpelt, you are kind and a fast learner. I know you'll guide Owlpaw on the right path." As Owlpaw's mentor pawed forward to touch noses with her apprentice, Owlpaw looked reluctant. She barely tapped Featherpelt's nose before trotting over to her Clan, shoving Cloudfur and Redwhisker out of her way. "Dreamkit, please step forward." At last. Dreamkit padded forward with happiness, and she could hear her mother's purring from the sidelines. "From now on until you are a warrior, you shall be known as Dreampaw. Lightstep, you shall mentor her." Lightstep stood up and worked her way through the crowd to sit next to Dreampaw, her second apprentice. "Lightstep, you've shown WindClan courage and strength. I know you'll show Dreampaw the meanings of a real warrior." Winterstar padded away, and Dreampaw was covered in licks by Honeyfur. "Congratulations." Lightstep smiled at her apprentices and touched noses with her.[/size]

Thanks. ;) The chapters switch from Dreampaw and Finchwing.
Chapter Four [/center] "Hey, Finchwing!" The she-cat turned around to see Redwhisker racing over to her. She grumbled and continued to walk over to the fresh-kill pile, as if she didn't hear. "Finchwing!" Redwhisker panted, sitting down next to her. "I want to show you something." Finchwing nodded and stood up. "Sure." She followed the tom out of camp, into the moor. They finally stopped at a hill, the sunset looking so close that if Finchwing tried to grab it she would. "Isn't it beautiful?" Finchwing didn't want to admit it, but it was. The sky was a pale orange, fading into a red, then a light dusky purple. Then Redwhisker turned toward the brown she-cat. "Finchwing," He mewed softly, his eyes sparkling with something she couldn't read. "I meant to tell you this the second we were given our warrior names, but I.. I love you." Finchwing knew it was coming, but she feared the day. "You do?" "Yes!" Redwhisker exclaimed, his expression as if he couldn't bieleve Finchwing didn't say she did to. "With all my heart." Finchwing flinched as he rubed himself against her. Anger bubbled inside her, and she wished she could rip off his happy and excited face. What really made her angry was when she saw a pair of sparkling green eyes that were all to familiar to her. Nightspirit!She pulled away from Redwhisker. "Why?" She spat, her fur fluffing up. "Why? Finchwing, you're a wonderful cat! We're you going?" Finchwing was pelting down the hill, escaping from the tom. She could feel his eyes burning into the back of her head, and she continued to run. She stopped when her paws ached with such pain that it felt like her pads were ripped off. "Nightspirit?" She whispered, when she heard pawsteps. The black tom seated himself next to Finchwing. "You seemed so happy with him." Finchwing stared at Nightspirit. "I am not happy with him! I hate him!" Nightspirit was silent. "Oh," He said after a while. "Nightspirit, I.." FInchwing sighed. "You'd hate me if I told you." "Then don't." Nightspirit stood up. "I hope you're happy." "No! Nightspirit! I-" Finchwing was cut off by an earsplitting battle cry. A swarm of cats were racing across the moorland, and Finchwing's eyes widened. "ShadowClan!"[/size]

Chapter Five
Finchwing's eyes widened as ShadowClan raced across the moor.
"Finchwing!" Nightspirit yowled, grabbing her scruff and tossing her forward.
The gray and brown she-cat, snapped out of her trance, followed Nightspirit with such a pace that she felt she was flying.
Once they entered the WindClan camp, Nightspirit immeaditly yowled, "ShadowClan is on their way to attack!"
WindClan froze, but jumped when they heard a ear splitting battle cry just outside camp.
Winterstar hurtled over to the elders and sent them over the wall and into the abandoned fox nest outside camp.
The ShadowClan leader, Dogstar, flew into camp and launched himself at the closest cat, paws outstretched. Lightstep snarled and shoved the massive brown tom off her.
Dreampaw was wrestling with a ShadowClan apprentice, Honeyfur was clawing at ShadowClan's deputy, and Winterstar was locked in battle with a ShadowClan queen.
Finchwing sprinted over to an apprentice and scored her claws down his chest. The apprentice yowled and shook himself, but flew back at the young warrior. Finchwing stood up on her hindlegs and when the apprentice was under her, shot back down and clawed at his eyes. The apprentice screamed and squirmed out of her grasp and raced away.
"Over here, you bird brained heap of mouse dung!"
Finchwing turned to face Blossompool, a senior warrior. She growled and threw herself at the black she-cat.
Blossompool, having a long time's expierience, leaped out of her way easily. Finchwing went headfirst into the ground, skidding and laying still for a moment, giving Blossompool the time to leap onto her back and sink her claws into it.
"You overgrown lump of fur!" Finchwing hissed, but struggled under the strong and muscular she-cat. Her weight seemed impossible, and Finchwing howled in pain as the cat scratched at her shoulders. But after a painful minute, the weight was gone.
"Don't you dare mess with her!" Nightspirit snarled, pinning her down and biting at her spine.
Finchwing almost smiled, but she didn't. Two ShadowClan cats slammed into Nightspirit's side, and the black tom smashed into Highrock.
"NO!" Finchwing crawled over to him, each pawstep filled with pain. She took his scruff and dragged him over to Blackstorm's den. "Blackstorm.." She croaked, flopping down beside him.
The Medicine Cat hurried over to the two, and Nightspirit opened his eyes.
"I.. must.. go.. and fight." He shook as he hauled himself up, but Finchwing stepped in front of him.
"No." She stared into his intense green eyes. "You're to weak."
Nightspirit was about to say something but he collapsed in pain.
"Help him!" Finchwing screamed.
Blackstorm looked at him. "It dosen't look good," He whispered. Feeling him over, Blackstorm shook his head.
Nightstorm's eyes flickered open. "Finchwing?" His voice was crisp and full of strength, as if nothing happened.
"What?" The she-cat leaped to his side.
Nightspirt whispered into her ear, "StarClan told me that they would give me a second chance, because there was somebody out there who needed me." He stared in Finchwing's amber eyes. "And they told me it was you."
