Silverstar's P.O.V:

"Silverstar! Silverstar! Come quickly, it's Waterfly!! She's fainted!" Silverstar woke up to the sound of Nutwhiskers shrill voice. She sat upright and quickly rushed after Nutwhisker to the medicine den.

Waterfly lay on the ground. Her fur seemed to be turning white, weirdly. She was deathly still. If it wasn't for her faint breathing, Silverstar would've thought she was dead.

"How did this happen?" Silverstar demanded Nutwhisker.

The brown tom shrugged in fear, "I-I don't know... Her- her eyes suddenly turned green and her fur started turning white and then she fainted!"

Silverstar narrowed her eyes, "White fur and green eyes... hm.. Could it be?"

Nutwhisker narrowed his wide green eyes, "What?"

Silverstar meowed, "It could be a Starclan cat trying to communicate with her. Most likely Skystar because of the white fur and green eyes." She glanced again at Waterfly. "Yup. Definitely that."

Nutwhisker padded closer to Waterfly. "Will she wake up?"

"I hope so." Silverstar meowed softly.

Suddenly, Waterfly flew to her paws and sent Nutwhisker tumbling away with a yowl of surprise. Silverstar felt her fur bristle slightly as well but it quickly went flat.

Waterfly blinked her eyes that were now back to their normal dark blue colour. Her fur was back to blue-grey as well. The medicine cat stared at Silverstar, "Skystar came to me. She told me to prapare the clan for battle. Apparently, an evil is coming and it is so powerful it has blocked Starclan from us."

"What?!" Silverstar heard Nutwhisker screech. She glanced at the brown medicine cat apprentice and saw him crouched in the corner of the medicine den. He was clearly terrified so Silverstar carefully nudged him out of the den, telling him to have something to eat and to not mention what had happened to anyone.

Once Nutwhisker left, Waterfly meowed, "We need to prepare the clan. Starclan cannot help us this time."

Silverstar felt her blood run cold and stared at Waterfly in astonishment, "Wait.. If Starclan is blocked from us... and a cat dies during that time... what happens to them? Can they reach Starclan?"

"I wouldn't know." Waterfly whispered softly. Worry edged her voice and she faltered slightly as she mumbled, "Let's get the clan prepared then shall we?"

Silverstar nodded grimly and followed her medicine cat out of the den.

Stormflame's P.O.V:

"Put more strength into your swipe, it will confuse your enemy enough that you'll be able to deal some more lethal blows." Stormflame advised Ashpaw as his apprentice practiced the Front paw swipe move.

Ashpaw sighed, "I know. But I'm just so tired..." his shoulders sagged slightly and he frowned at Stormflame, "I'm sorry Stormflame.."

Stormflame blinked, "Why didn't you tell me? I could've stopped training way back! Oh Ashpaw, what am I going to do with you?" He smiled and nudged Ashpaw back towards camp, "Come on, let's go back to camp. Get some rest and we'll train more tomorrow."

Ashpaw nodded sleepily,  "Ok Storm..flame." his eyes drooped slightly as they padded sluggishly back to camp.

Stormflame sighed with a chuckled and scooped Ashpaw up onto his back, "How about a ride back to camp?" He started trotting.

Ashpaw smiled, "Thanks." He mumbled sleepily. Stormflame chuckled softly and continued to trot back to camp while Ashpaw dozed off on his back.

Once they reached camp, Stormflame saw Silverstar explaining something to the clan. It seemed to be quite important so Stormflame quickly woke Ashpaw up and looked up at Silverstar.

The clan leader was talking about Waterfly fainting and how it happened. Stormflame narrowed his eyes as she explained that a battle was coming.

Clearlight leaned in and whispered in Stormflame's ear, "This is just brilliant isn't it?" The grey tom chuckled and straightened again.

Stormflame shrugged and kept watching Silverstar. She was explaining what the clan had to do incase the attack was anytime soon.

"Stormwhisker and Whitetail will be in charge of taking the kits, Queens, elders and apprentices to safety.  Everyone else prepare for battle." Silverstar meowed, "Waterfly and Nutwhisker, you join Stormwhisker and Whitepelt." She added before jumping off the Hightree.

Immediately, cats started talking between themselves in shocked whispers. Stormflame noticed Ashpaw already heading to the apprentices den for rest. At least Ashpaw will be well rested if there was an attack soon.

Stormflame sighed and looked at the sky. The sun was beginning to set and he noticed quite a few of the warriors also heading to their dens already so Stormflame followed and lay down in his nest for some dreamless sleep.

Clearlight's P.O.V:

Clearlight poked his head into the nursery where the elders and apprentices were going to hide incase the battle was soon. Ashpaw and Cloudpaw were arguing about who was the best at fighting. Loveheart and Blazemoon huddled together behind the two apprentices. Slowsky, Bigstep and Cloudwhisp lay together in a semicircle in silence.

When Clearlight emerged from the den, he saw the remaining warriors in camp sitting together and talking in hushed voices. It was clear to Clearlight that the clan feared the upcoming battle. At least Skystar had managed to get through and warn them.

"Clearlight, get some sleep now." A soft order came from Fernpelt. The deputy looked stressed as well but he kept his voice strong and firm. "You'll need your strength if the battle is soon."

Clearlight dipped his head and padded into the warriors den. He curled up in his nest at the centre where the senior warriors slept and closed his eyes.

No matter how hard Clearlight tried, sleep would not come. He tossed and turned and grunted as he tried to make sleep come to his tired eyes but it was no use.

Clearlight almost wanted the battle to come at that moment. It would be easier to fight now than wait longer. It was the fact that no one knew when this evil would come that was killing Clearlight. All they could do was wait.

At last, after a long hour of more tossing and turning in his nest, Clearlight fell asleep.

Silverstar's P.O.V:

Silverstar lay in her nest. She had her eyes closed and she willed herself to sleep but sleep refused to come. She sighed heavily and got to her paws. She padded sleepily to the opening of her den. She peered outside and breath in the sharp, cool air. The full moon shone down on her. Magiclan and Monsterclan would be at the gathering, wondering where Lightclan was. Silverstar frowned. She hadn't even realised that it was the gathering that night.

An owl screeched overhead as he flew over the camp. It passed very close to Silverstar as she was high up the Hightree. She felt one of the owl's feathers fall on her nose and she shook it off. The single feather floated down the tree and onto the ground. Silverstar watched it in boredom.

When will the evil attack?

It was so nerve-racking to wait in camp like trapped mice but it was all they could do. They had no idea if the evil coming was even a cat! No one knew where it was coming from either.

Silverstar muttered under her breath, "Starclan save us." Even though Starclan probably didn't hear her, her prayer seemed to calm her racing mind somewhat and she decided to go back into her den to try and sleep again.

Waterfly's P.O.V:

Waterfly was already dreaming.

She stood on a hill under the midnight sky. Everything was still. There was no sound of movement anywhere.

Then, all of a sudden, a strong wind blew around her that tugged at her thick blue-grey fur. She nearly lost her footing but then the wind stopped. The wind was replace by blazing fire. It came out of nowhere ans grew around her. The heat made Waterfly cower beneath the tall flames. But just like the wind, the fire disappeared. It was replaced a huge wave of water that towered over Waterfly and threatened to fall straight on Waterfly. Once again, the water left as quickly as it arrived and was finally replaced by a single tree. The tree was only the start though. Flowers of all colours started growing at abnormal speed around Waterfly and she watched in awe at the beautiful colours.

Then everything was gone again and Waterfly was plunged into darkness. She woke up in her nest inside the medicine den and saw Foxkit and Snowkit huddled together. The two cats let out feeble coughs.

Waterfly stood up and went to her medicine supply. She got out some of the precious Catmint and gave a little to the kits. They seemed to quiet down a bit and Waterfly fed them half a poppy seed each to help them sleep. Then she went back to her nest and fell asleep again.
