Rainstar padded slowly out of her den and into the misty clearing. She headed towards the fully re-stocked fresh-kill pile and selected a plump vole.

Her ears pricked and she spotted two familiar-looking cats outside the entrance of camp. "Stormcloud!!!"

Stormcloud raced towards the two intruders side-by-side with Rainstar. Bramblefire and Deathclaw from Sunclan came into view.

Stormcloud hissed, "What are you two doing on Rainclan territory?!"

Deathclaw spat, "We found a mangy kit in our camp reeking of Rainclan scent!"

Rainstar stepped forward. "We have no kit here besides Thunderkit and he was with Birdflight the whole time!"

Brambleflight growled, "This doesn't look like Thunderkit..." He stepped aside to reveal a small gray-brown tabby kit sprawled on the ground, her pelt matted with blood.

Rainstar leaned down and sniffed the kit's fur. Rainclan scent.

She got back up and faced the Sunclan warriors. "Get back to your own territory. Rainclan will figure out where this kit came from. Don't break the warrior code ever again."

The two warriors glared at the Rainclan leader and sped back to their territory.

Rainstar turned to Stormcloud. "Call Spottedwing over."

Rainstar swiftly darted around the snow clumps up the Sky Vine. Her eyes were gleaming with happiness and determination. "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join here beneath the Sky Vine for a clan meeting!" Her voice rang within the camp, stirring the sleeping cats. They eventually stiffly got up and arrived in the misty clearing, looking up at Rainstar.

Rainstar blinked and continued, "This is a proud day for our clan. By appointing apprentices to their mentor, we show Rainclan will survive and remain strong. This is Cherrypaw. Fallingswoop and I have been watching this interesting kittypet for a while."

Gasps erupted from the clan when they heard the word, "kittypet".

Rainstar silenced the muttering cats with a flick of her tail. "She will perform a simple task to prove herself one more time. If she succeeds, she will join Rainclan as a permanent member. If she fails...she will have to return to her soft kittypet life."

Rainstar turned her head towards the entrance of the camp. And there, a small black and white she-cat stood, her pelt shining in the early mist.

Rainstar yowled, "Cherrypaw, your task will be to spy on Fallenclan AND Sunclan to see if they are expecting a battle from us and preparing for it."

The cats gasped and some protested...

"She's too young!"

"What if she betrays us and lies?!"

"It's too dangerous!"

Rainstar yowled once again. She leaned in close to Cherrypaw's ear and whispered, "If you want to prove yourself of being a great warrior, you have to succeed in this mini quest."

Cherrypaw looked back up with bright green eyes. She announced to the clan, "I take on this quest, and I WILL succeed."

Rainstar sat back down with a proud smile on her face. Some cats started meowing with joy, while others stood back, silent.

Rainstar stood back up. "Cherrypaw, it is time for you to go to the other clans' territories. Meeting dismissed."

The cats scattered about, some forming groups discussing information about Cherrypaw.

Cherrypaw ran out the entrance to the clan, heading towards Fallenclan territory.

Rainstar woke up in Sunclan's medicine cat den, her muscles greatly stiff. She decided to get up, but collapsed back down when an excruciating pain erupted from her hind leg. Is my leg broken??? What happened???

Rainstar couldn't remember anything that occured last night. Once again, Rainstar made an effort to stand up, but fell back down, landing on her injured leg. She cried out, causing every cat in Sunclan territory to glance at the medicine cat den entrance.

Icestar came in with Sparrowpaw tagging along.

Rainstar woke up to the sound of a yowl, her pelt drenched in sweat. That sounded like Night...

Rainstar shrugged and closed her weary eyes, hoping to catch some sleep.

...

Rainstar appeared in a misty clearing, awfully confused. The only thing she can see is a branch, supporting a hanging drop of water. Where am I???

A dark shadow approached her. Rainstar saw Night walk slowly through the mist. "Night!" Rainstar meowed. She ran and rubbed her muzzle against his.

Night didn't show any affection. Instead, his eyes were dancing with fear. He muttered, "Save me...you must send one from each clan...and solve the mystery of the rogues...". He slowly faded away.

...

Rainstar woke up once again, this time her pelt drenched in sweat AND her nest thrashed about. I must choose one from each clan...but who???

Rainstar padded back and forth in her den, the quest mixing around in her mind. Finally, she crashed through her den opening and raced confusingly into Sunclan territory. She ran until she lost all sense of direction. She collapsed. The last image she saw was Sparrowpaw staring down at her with wide eyes.

(Warriorcatlover92, continue as Sparrowpaw. I might make him the cat Rainstar chooses...if you want him to be chosen...)
