Chapter 1
Rain...... Falling. The pitter-patter sounds of the rain colliding with earth.
Sky...... Pouring. Thunder booms and Lightning flashes with the storm.
Clouds....... Gathering. Gray mist flies into the air and dances in puddles.
"May all cats old enough to hunt gather here for a meeting!" Breezestar yowled to the sky. Overhead, gray clouds roared and leaped over their heads, leaving lightning in their wake. A fierce wind blew, ruffling their fur and blowing whiskers the wrong way. Rain flew down like stones.
"Why would Breezestar call a meeting at this time of the day?" A warrior named Squirrelfoot asked.
"I don't know." Galefoot shrugged. "She's our leader, anyways."
"Airclan, please listen." Breezestar yowled. "When I was at the Moon-Cove, I entered a vision with Galefoot. I was in a storm, and it was a sign. We must figure out what the sign means."
"A sign is always important."Galefoot nodded.
"Breezestar, can you describe the vision?" Breezestar's favorite warrior, Skylight, called out from the throng of cats.
"We were standing on top of a steep cliff. Above us, there were four clouds. All of them were white and swirling around one another. Suddenly, one of the clouds turned gray and started to push away the other two clouds. It poured rain on us and lightning flashed in the sky as the horizon turned gray." Breezestar told them, putting her tail over her paws.
"Wait...... I know!"the smart cat of Airclan, Windycloud, piped up. "There are three clans, Airclan, Forestclan, and Marineclan. But the fourth one...... I don't know. I think that that one will cause trouble."
"That may be correct, but what if its not?" Darkcloud asked.
"There are the same four clouds above us and raining on us and destroying us?" Dawnrise suggested.
"Destroying us! That's it! The clouds will destroy us!" Brackenflight wailed, and the clearing exploded into chaos: cats shoving each other, screeching and yowling, while the deputy and the leader shouted above the throng, trying to gain control.
"AIRCLAN!!!" Breezestar yowled. "LISTEN!!!"
Finally, the cats stopped, but their eyes still glistened with fear.
"I will announce the sign at the Gathering." Breezestar lowered her voice.
"Good!" Galefoot nodded. Other clanmates began to settle down.
"I wonder what the other leaders will say......"
