Chapter 4

Frostleaf stared at the dark hole in front. The last time she came Appleshade brought her in, trying to tell her that it will be fine.

Luckily, she had managed to control her emotions and went in. StarClan didn't come to her that time though.

"I will lead the way," he mewed, leading them into the cave. The earth was cold at Frostleaf's paws as it has never had warmth. Eventually, they reached the cavern where the Moonstone is.

She could smell Stagwind's excitement.  Nightstar sat down, waiting for the moon to touch the stone.

Suddenly, a brilliant flash of light hit the stone and the Moonstone shone brighter than a star. "Touch your nose at the stone," he reminded them.

Both Stagwind and Frostleaf touched the stone nervously and laid down on the cold earth. Nightstar did the same.

Frostleaf and Stagwind found themselves in StarClan's hunting grounds. A StarClan cat padded forward. "Come," was all she said.

They followed the she-cat to clearing sheltered by big oak trees. Nightstar was there, with a tom.

"That's Birchstar," Stagwind whispered to Frostleaf. "He matches the description that Leafnose gave me."

Birchstar stood at a branch and yowled, "Listen! A terrible threat will spring from old grudges and will destroy ThunderClan if you don't do anything!"

"Who?" Nightstar demanded, his eyes widening with worry. Birchstar whispered into his ear, so soft that Frostleaf have to strain to listen.

"Only a memory will stop the impending doom." The word 'doom' was echoed around the cover of trees.

Stagwind was bristling with shock.

"A memory?" Frostleaf echoed.

"A memory," the StarClan she-cat repeated.

"Who are you anyway?" Stagwind interupted.

"Bluewhisker," she replied as Nightstar stiffened in shock. "Do you mean it's Flamenose?"

"Your heart tells you the answer," Birchstar said. Then, the surroundings began to fade.

They found themselves back at the Moonstone. Nightstar jumped up immediately and said, "Let's get back to camp." Frostleaf gave a quick nod and prodded Stagwind up.

Screeches of anger were heard from the camp wall. "Hurry!" Nightstar shouted. Frostleaf brust into the clearing and saw two big dogs attacking the nursery.

Brownstripe was desperately clawing at the leading dog, trying to throw it off track. Then, a shriek of horror froze the warriors in their tracks.
