Skyheart's POV:

Skyheart watched as Roundkit leapt on Darkkit's back. Rainkit clawed her sister's dark pelt. "Rainkit! Keep your claws sheathed please." Skyheart called with a shake of her head.

"Yes Mumma!" The she kit squeaked back.

Bluekit was creeping in the shadows, slowly getting closer and closer to the other kits. Finally, she let out a battle screech and flew onto Whitekit, making him fall to the ground. They squealed in joy as they all tumbled around camp. They nearly tripped over Greenstare as she walked to the fresh-kill pile. Skyheart took a bird for herself and gave Greenstare a vole.

As Skyheart looked closer at Greenstare, she realised that she had a long claw wound running down her back. "Greenstare! What happened?" At her yell, a couple of other cats looked up from where they sat.

"Oh. Um... I-I um.."  Greenstare stuttered sheepishly, though a hard glare lay under her scattered emotions.

"What is it?" asked Jumpingleaf padding towards them.

Greenstare finally mewed softly, "A Magiclan cat attacked me and gave me this scar to show that I am cursed to live a life of misery when I die." Her eyes flashed and Skyheart narrowed her eyes. Was she lying? Thoughts filled her head but Skyheart couldn't quite catch them long enough to understand what they meant. But one thing was clear: That was not the truth.

"Won't she go to Starclan when she dies?" asked Bluekit.

Skyheart narrowed her eyes at Greenstare as she answered "No."

Gasps of shocked swept around the camp and Bluekit hissed at Greenstare "That means your evil!" She yowled.

Greenstare narrowed her eyes and whispered something with a small smirk. Bluekit shrank away from Greenstare in fear and darted away.

Wildstar stepped forwards. "We will attack Magiclan tomorrow morning so they pay for what they have done."

Can he not see that she is lying?!

Skyheart gave Clearlight a frightened look.

They both knew that their kits were ready to be apprenticed.

Wildstar continued. "I will take with me, Greenstare, Coloureyes, Clearlight, Jumpingleaf, Fluffytail, Bigstep, Waterfly, Robinlake, Slowsky, Loveheart, Sparklingfish and Fallowstream." The cats he called padded to the camp entrance and waited for the signal to sprint to the border.

"Treefern, you come too with herbs to help injured cats. I want Skyheart and her kits to come too in case we need more help. The kits could also help Treefern. Skyheart, are your kits ready to see their first battle?" Wildstar emphasised the word 'see' to make it clear he didn't want them to battle.

"Yes." Skyheart whispered after a small hesitation.

____________

They all trekked on towards the Magiclan border. They were going hide in the bushes and wait until a patrol walked by the border. It was the only way of having a chance of winning. Skyheart sensed a patrol on its way. She held her breath and her kits drew closer to her as she heard rustling only a few fox lengths away.

She heard the battle screech and Wildstar and his patrol leapt out of the bushes and attacked Magiclan. She looked out and saw that there were six strong cats waiting on the other side. It's as if they knew we were coming... Skyheart was so deep in thoughts that she didn't realise that her kits were getting ready to join in in the battle.

"No!" yowled Skyheart. Her kits didn't hear her and went running over the border...

Clearlight's POV:

Clearlight raced into battle at Wildstar's screech and crashed into a warrior Clearlight recognised as Lilyleaf. She was knocked off her paws but soon regained her balance. She leapt at Clearlight and caught the tip of his ears in her claws. Clearlight lunged at her back as she tried to turn fast.

She was heavily built and she was much stronger than Clearlight, who was only swift on his paws.

Lilyleaf hissed at Clearlight, "Weakling! Lightclan had weakened you!"

Out of the corner of his eyes, Clearlight saw his kits running over to a young she-cat named Deernose. He looked at Skyheart for some sign and saw her face; a look of fear for her kits. Clearlight kicked Lilyleaf away and rushed over to the kits. Bluekit was being held down by the Magiclan warrior and Roundkit and Waterkit were attacking her rear. The others were trying to get on Deernose's back.

Clearlight head butted Deernose as he saw Skyheart running over to get Bluekit away. Deernose clawed his cheek and went for his paws but he was quicker. He got out of the way and jumped on top of her. He clawed her until she begged for mercy and he let her run back to her camp, wounded badly.

Skyheart's POV:

As she got all the kits rounded up, she spotted the grey tom called Lifepaw. He was known by every cat in the forest. He had been giving the rarest power ever; The Power of Resurrection. That cat could bring back any cat from the dead, but only once so they use it wisely.

Fluffytail was panting on the ground and a white and black tom stood over him. Skyheart raced over to help but before she could do anything the tom gave him a killing bite and he went limp and motionless.

"Lightclan, RETREAt!" Wildstar yowled over all the screeching cats. Magiclan slowly backed away from their enemies. Some giving one last bite or scratch. "You were wrong to attack us!" Meowed a cat from Magiclan.

"Squirrel chasers!!" Sneered another.

______________________

Skyheart's POV:

"We were wrong to attack Magiclan!" yowled Coloureyes as he mourned the death of Fluffytail. His body lay in the middle of the camp and cats hung their heads in shame.

Skyheart had only a few scratches and claw marks. Since she had been treating the wounded, no one really attacked her. Her kits, on the other hand, had wounds and claw marks all over their beautiful pelts.

Skyheart was carefully licking them clean but stopping suddenly if one cried out. Clearlight limped up to her. "Hey."

"Hi Clearlight how are you?" Skyheart asked worriedly.

"Not the best... My limp is getting worse." Skyheart ran over to him and helped him lie down next to the kits.

"Oh no."

Wildstar slowly padded out of his den and carefully sat on a branch. "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the Hightree for a meeting." All the cats just looked up but didn't move. "First, I want to ask Greenstare if she knows how to end her curse. Greenstare?"

The battle scarred she cat stared into the trees. "The only way, is for me to murder a cat close to me" The clan shifted around and eyes flicked nervously back and forth. Skyheart saw her gaze harden to a cold glare in her direction before turning back into a sad and tearful gaze.

"How close?" asked Wildstar who seemed very calm but a storm was probably raging inside his head.

"Friends and family.." Meowed Greenstare.

"Alright. We shall discuss this later. Now, I mourn for Fluffytail very much... He was a loner who became a warrior. He risked his life for our safety!" All the cats bowed their heads in honour for their fallen clan mate. "I, Wildstar leader of Lightclan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down apon these kits. Bluekit, Whitekit, Roundkit, Waterkit, Darkit, Rainkit and Stormkit please step forwards." Wildstar mewed. Skyheart rushed over to her kits and started to lick them clean. Too late. They all ran forwards and stood in front of the Hightree. "Skyheart, your kits fought bravely in the battle and I think that they are ready to become apprentices!" yowled Wildstar.

Skyheart's POV:

"Time to go train!" yowled Greenstare as she waved her tail for the apprentices to follow her to the training hollow.

Skyheart had pushed the prophecy to the back of her head but now it was nagging her and she wasn't sleeping or eating at all lately. She had guessed that it meant that 'Sky' was her and that she would lead Lightclan because 'lightly' referes to it and a battle will come and 'Sky' will die.

She wasn't ready to die! She was still young! Skyheart crouched low and closed her eyes wishing for the nightmare to end. But it didn't. Clearlight padded up to her. "Are you ok?"

Skyheart was alarmed by Clearlight. "No, it's just that... Come on let's go and walk in the forest, Alone." Skyheart decided that she was going to tell Clearlight the prophecy. Maybe he could help..

_____________________

Clearlight's POV:

Clearlight didn't know why Skyheart was so upset. All he wanted was to make things better so she could be the mate she used to be. Not this shadow padding around camp.

Skyheart sat down next to a birch tree and waved her tail at him. He sat down. "What's the matter with you?"

Skyheart took a deep breath and then blurted out: "There's a prophecy about me, I'm gonna die, but lead Lightclan. I-I was told in a dream and-"

"Whoa. There's a prophecy about you? Tell me!" Clearlight was scared and excited at the same time. He new what prophecies were and what sometimes happens.

"Sky will lead Lightly. There will be a great battle and Sky will die!" Clearlight knew what that meant that his mate would die.
