PROLOGUE:

The silver she-cat sat on the bank of the river, her fur shining in the moonlight. She stared into the river's depths, willing StarClan to come and help her through the misery she was going through. The IslandClan camp could be seen beyond the river, and she raised her eyes to look at the island. She had left the camp a few hours ago, to escape to the peaceful surroundings of Star River, where she could mourn in peace. Tdalwave and the rest of StarClan had visited her in her dreams all but once, and they told her that another Clan had to be founded to ensure that peace would remain. The she-cat sighed, and heaved herself up into a standing position. She began to walk back to camp. When she reached the stretch of water that seperated her from the Island on which her Cla made it's home, she plunged into the water, and began swimming strongly towards the island. When she reached the island she pulled herself out of the water and headed to the Warrior's Den. She made herself comfortable in her nest and sank into a deep sleep.
She awoke to the Cats of StarClan surrounding her. Tidalwave walked slowly up to her, and Silverstripe felt a wave of relief wash over her. Tidalwave was obviously happy in StarClan, and happy to see her. He began to speak in a low voice that didn't seem to belong to him."Silverstripe you must choose one cat from your Clan and complete this prophecy with them, or IslandClan will be destroyed. If a new Clan is not formed, then a terrible threat will be unleashed upon the single Clan that inhabits this land." With that the StarClan cats began to fade around her, and Silverstripe awoke in the Warrior's Den,panting. What could it mean? She thought desperately. And who should I choose?

Well, that's my prologue! Please comment!!!More coming soon unless noone comments!!

Thanks Swiftclaw!!Heres Chap 2!!

CHAPTER 2
Tawnypaw

It was 3 weeks since Tawnypaw's uncle,Tidalwave, had died from greencough. His mate, Silverstripe, had not taken it well at all. She often went out of camp alone, usually to Star River or Jagged Mountain, where she could sit and not be disturbed by anyone. This was the first time a sickness like greencough had entered the camp. But the medicine cat and his apprentice had already started developing a cure. It was just before sunhigh, and Tawnypaw's mentor, Brightfire, had promised to take her out for training today. Tawnypaw was waiting outside the camp entrance for Brightfire. How much longer is she going to take? thought Tawnypaw grumpily. Just then Brightfire came speeding out of the camp and skidded to a halt in front of Tawnypaw, sending a spray of water from a puddle onto Tawnypaw. "Brightfire!!" spluttered Tawnypaw, though she was secretly smileing under her annoyed expression. "Sorry young Tawnypaw! I didn't want to keep you waiting any longer!" said Brightfire. Then they both burst out laughing. "Come on then, let's go practice some hunting moves!" said Tawnypaw in between her laughter. So they made their way to the beach where crabs and other prey lurked, just waiting to be caught. First they had to swim over from the island to the mainland.The island on which Tawnypaw's Clan made their home was extremely small, only big enough for the camp and a training area. The rest of their territory was on the mainland, which they mostly used for hunting and playing. "So, shall we go to the beach or the forest?" asked Brightfire. " It depends, do you fancy a crab or a mouse? replied Tawnypaw "Because I fancy a mouse more!" Tawnypaw had never really liked the prey on the beach, as it tasted funny to her. "I really don't mind, young Tawnypaw, so I guess we'd better go to the forest!" The forest was near Star River, which was easily visible from where they were. "Race you there!" shouted Brightfire,speeding ahead. "Hey, that's not fair!" shouted back Tawnypaw, and she raced off too. They reached the forest at the same time, panting and out of breath. "That was fun!" exclaimed Tawnypaw. "Yes young Tawnypaw, it does you good to get some excersize! replied Brightfire. Tawnypaw laughed. Sometimes she wondered who was the apprentice and who was the mentor, seeing as Brightfire was still a kit at heart. When they were in the forest, a cat appeared from a clump of brambles. "Silverstripe! What are you doing here?" asked Tawnypaw, surprised. "Well, actually Tawnypaw, I need to talk to you in private." said Silverstripe, glancing at Brightfire. "Don't worry, I'll go and catch a mouse of two for when you get back!" said Brightfire helpfully. Tawnypaw knew she was secretly disappointed, and said to herself that she would make it up to her when she got back. When Brightfire had gone, Silverstripe said: " Have you had any dreams from StarClan, you know, prophecies or anything?"
"Well, as a matter of fact, I did have one dream saying that I would have to prepare for a great journey I was to take with another cat." said Tawnypaw. "So it was meant to be."muttered Silverstripe. "What? Have you had the same dream?" This apprentice might be cleverer than I thought, thought Silverstripe.
"Well, sort of. I had a dream that I was visited by StarClan and they told me that a new Clan must be formed or a terrible threat would be unleashed upon IslandClan. They told me that I should choose another cat, and straight away I thought of you. You're clevererer than most warriors, and you know how to keep a secret." As she said this she glanced at me knowingly. Tawnypaw grimaced and thought back to the time when I had to keep that my friend was in love with Sandpaw. "Anyway, it was obviously meant to be you, as long as you are prepared for this task?"
"Yes, I am" Tawnypaw answered confidently. "When do we start?" She's eager! Silverstripe thought. "7 sunsets from now. That will give me time to brief you up on the plan and time for you to prepare yourself. Now, you'd better go find that mentor of yours, haven't you?!" said Silverstripe.

How do you like Chapter one? Huh, huh? Won't write any more untill someone comments!! ;D

[.Swiftclaw.]

Still great!!! Keep going! Oh yeah and I love the way it's on an island... ;D ;D ;D

[Wildpaw]

Thanks!!! I love the island too! Here's Chapter 3!!

CHAPTER 3

Tawnypaw sat on the peak of Jagged Mountain, waiting silently. Silverstripe had agreed to meet her here, as it was quite far from camp and not many cats visited it. Just then Tawnypaw saw Silverstripe bounding towards her. "Hi Tawnypaw!" puffed Silverstripe when she reached the apprentice. "Hello Silverstripe" replied Tawnypaw. "Let's get on with it as quickly, I don't like this place, it freaks me out!" whispered Tawnypaw. "OK. So what did StarClan tell you exactly?" asked Silverstripe. " Well they came to me in my dream and a golden she-cat came up to me. She looked barely older then a kit and something told me she was very special to me!" answered Tawnypaw. " I think StarClan is sending someone to us who was very special to us." said Silverstripe thoughtfully. "Then who could the kit have been?" puzzled Tawnypaw. "The kit was probably your sister, Leopardkit, who died shortly after birth. Even during that short time you still formed a deep bond with her, always letting her have food first and that sort of thing." said Silverstripe. Tawnypaw was shocked. Leopardkit must have been her best friend, even though their eyes hadn't even open ed yet! "Wow, I...I never knew I had another sister!" When she said this a faint spark of rememberance flickered inside her. "Wait, I th..think I remember!!!" shouted Tawnypaw. "Shhhh, not so loud, an elder in the camp might hear you!" teased Silverstripe. "For a while after Leopardkit died, you went sniffing and looking around the nursery for her, trying to find out where she had gone." she said more solemly than before. "Anyway, tell me what Leopardkit said in your dream." "What? Oh yeah, she said this: "A cat with Silverpelt laden on her fur will take you on a dangerous mission. Prepare and you will succeed." " Tawnypaw slowly repeated the words that her sister had told her the other night. Silverstripe blushed. "Me? A cat with Silverpelt laden on her fur? I never knew I was that beautiful!" joked Silverstripe. Tawnypelt rolled her eyes. Adult she-cats could be ssoooooo silly sometimes!
"Tawnypaw, we will be going on a journey to find loners and other cats to try to make them join our new Clan we are supposed to make. Do you have any idea haw dangerous this could be?" Silverstripe asked quietly, all laughter gone from her expression. "Yes, I do" Tawnypaw answered, "And I am willing to take that risk, as an even greater peril will be unleashed if we do not try." Tawnypaw's last words were brave, and Silverstripe was looking at her proudly. "Well, I suggest you prepare by making your fighting moves perfect and maybe your Warrior Ceremony might be held before we leave!" suggested Silverstripe as bounded away down the mountain.

Tawnypaw leaped through the air, claws out. She landed on her target, ripping it with sharp claws. "Er, Tawnypaw?" asked her friend, Silkpaw. "Why are you eating a leaf?"
"Oh, erm, I was practising!" I said, embarrassed.
"Yes, the attack of the leaves is going to happen soon." said Silkpaw sarcastically "I'm sure you want to be ready for when the giant Oak Leaf goes up against you!"
Tawnypaw cringed. Silkpaw could be soooo impossible sometimes. "You know Silkpaw.........."
"That's enough Tawnypaw" the large warrior Velvetfur stepped between them. "Leave him alone. It's his nature, and I wouldn't change him for the world."
Tawnypaw shrugged. "Ok" and walked off. When she was out of sight and earshot, she grimaced. "Eeeewwww. Velvetfur and Silkpaw?" She almost retched. But Silkpaw and Velvetfur were about the same age. Just then Silkpaw came streaking out of the bushes in his silent way. Tawnypaw heard a call in the distance. "Silkpaw, come here!"
Tawnypaw ran off to see where her friend had gone. She found him panting in a hollow underneath some brambles. "Hi! I don't think we really want to talk about what happened there, so I thought that this was the perfect time to tell you that our warrior ceremonies are tonight!" Tawnypaw said in a rush.
"Really? Well as soon as that's over, I'm getting out of here!"
Tawnypaw sighed. Maybe Silkpaw was supposed to came along with her an d SIlverstripe. "Look, Silkpaw I've had a dream....."
And Tawnypaw told him all about the prophecy. "And their was something else that I didn't tell Silverstripe" confessed Tawnypaw. "I know that your'e so good at spying, running swiftly an d silently , keeping silent and scouting on ahead that I think that when the prophecy mentioned 'The Spy' I figured that it must be you."
Silkpaw looked at her with narrowed eyes. "Well. Well,well,well. So you're leaving tonight?"
"Yes. Straight after the warrior ceremony. Speaking of which, it's in 5 minutes!"
"Let's go then."
They raced towards camp, and Silkpaw easily sped past her, running silently. They entered the camp just as the leader called the cats together. The leader started the ceremony. "Your new names will be Tawnyfur and Silkstep. May StarClan go with you."
As soon as the ceremony was over, they raced to Silverstripe. Tawnypaw quickly explained about Silkstep. Silverstripe said."Now the most important thing is to get away from here." And with that, the three cats ran out into the forest, Silverstripe rather heavily, Tawnypaw eagerly and Silkpaw swiftly and silently, and, although he seemed calm and brave,his face betraying the fear which all three cats felt as they ran ever closer to what seemed like an impossible task.

My favourite character is Silkstep!!! Sorry about the bad names, I had to do this quickly! ;D
