Prologue
Thunder clapped outside the nursery walls as the rain pattered down on the quiet night, as a group of shadowy figures entered camp. “Tawnyfrost,” one of the shadowy figures mewed

“Yes, Tornadostar?” A mew rose from the group as thunder clapped again.

“I want to see you in my den.” The figure of Tornadostar padded in to the shelter under the high ledge, with Tawnyfrost at his heels, water splashed as the cats moved throw the clearing.

Chapter 1:

It had been a moon or so after the successful raid on Pawclan, Sparrowkit and Sharpkit were now old another to explore camp by them self’s. “Come on Sharpkit!” Sparrowkit mewed “Don’t tell me you’re afraid?” she taunted her older brother. Sharpkit looked at his sister for a heartbeat “Me? No, no, no.” Sharpkit mewed nervously looking at his paws
“Then prove it!” Sparrowkit mewed in a challenging voice.
Sharpkit looked up at the tall oak tree, his eyes grew wide as he looked up at the branch closest to the ground, vary nervously wiggling as he got ready to jump up at it. And with that he jumped up at it, just barely missing and fell in to the tree trunk and slid down “oofff!” Sharpkit yelped.
“Are you ok?” Sparrowkit mewed
“No.” He panted
“Sharpkit, Sparrowkit!” Brightface, a white tabby gray Queen yowled from the nursery,
“Time to come in, it’s going to rain agin.” She mewed.
“Come on Sharpkit.” Sparrowkit urged her brother to his paws.

Cat’s swam across the sent mark between PawClan and TornadoClan, “If we’re going to raid TornadoClan, we must be quit, because do you know what we are going to do? Steal a kit from there Clan, and raise it as our own.” A dark brown warrior mewed “Larkstorm, this is your job, you’ll sneak in, then we’ll attack while you make off with the kit.” Pawstar mewed to his warriors. “move out.”

Back in TornadoClan camp, the rain pattered down on the muddy earth. Sparrowkit sat next to the nursery entrance as thunder clapped, it had been raining like this one and off for a moon now. ‘Will it always rain?’ Sparrowkit thought she padded back to her mother’s nest and curled up for a nap. The Queen’s were not in here at the moment, they were outside. Because it would not hurt them as bad is it would be on a kit. The dark slowly called Sparrowkit to sleep.
When Sparrowkit woke up there were cat’s fighting blood and fur was flying everywhere, what was happening!? Sparrowkit was dangling from the jaws of a PawClan warrior! “Brightface! Tornadostar!” she yelped. Tornadostar was trying to get away from Pawstar, but before she could call again, they were rushing out the entrance, and out of camp. Soon they were in PawClan camp. “Good job Larkstorm.” A tortushell she cat mewed. “Welcome to PawClan little one. What’s your name? I’m Shadowfur” she mewed, Sparrowkit shuddered Larkstorm? Shadowfur? I wish this was a dream. I wish this was a dream! Sparrowkit shuddered “I want to go home!” she yewled “I want Torrnadostar and Brightface!” the small kit cryed. Shadowfur looked at Larkstorm and back at Sparrowkit. Then just like that, Shadowfur went to the hight rock and Larkstorm carried Sparrowkit off to their nursery.

Chapter 2:

Sparrowkit peered out of the nursery, Pawstar was yowling loudly at Larkstorm, feeling a pang of sympathy, Sparrowkit snuck out of the nursery, she keep her eyes on the clearing not looking were she was going, her fear sent grew. “Were do you think you’re going?” Sparrowkit wiped around seeing a huge white tom, “I’m Swanstep. I’m not going to hurt you, but this is your Clan now.” He mewed “Unless Pawstar changes his mind because your Tornadostar’s kit. Sparrowkit right?” he mewed. Feeling scared Sparrowkit flatted her ears and backed up slowly for the entrance. The huge tom leaned forward and picked Sparrowstar up. “Back to the nursery.” He mewed and sat her inside “There you go. Stay warm.” And with that the tom was gone. Swanstep!? I want to go home! I must get out of here. Tornadostar will come for me, I know it but I can’t take another day of it! Have they for gotten me?
Sparrowkit looked over at the Queen, Ambersplash, who had been taking care of her for the past few sun rises and falls. She had a kit of her own, Ivykit. They got along fine. Sparrowkit looked back at the cleareing, Pawstar and Larkstorm were trotting up toward her, a flash of hope flickerted inside “Sparrowkit.” His mew was sharp “Larkstorm and Shadowfur tell me you are Tornadostar’s kit?” his mew was sharp when he mentioned her father. Sparrowkit nodded slowly, this cat scared her! He had been the one who ordered to take one of the kit’s from TornadoClan. His gaze turned in to slits, making a chill run up and down Sparrowkit’s back, What was he thinking!?
“Let’s not take any risk. Once they get stronger they will fight for her.” Pawstar mewed. “Larkstorm, since this is YOUR mistake, you take her back.” The words seemed to come out more of a hiss, Larkstorm opened her mouth to protest but instead nodded.
Silverpelt showed brightly, a claw moon shining like an eye in the sky. It seemed to take forever to get back across the sent line between the to Clans, and even longer to get back near the camp entrance. The moment Larkstorm sat Sparrowkit down, ZIP! Right back in to camp “Brightface! Tornadostar! Sharpkit!” She wailed Brightface ran out imeatitaly
“Sparrowkit! Oh, my little warrior. I was so worried about you.” She purred, Sharpkit who almost toppled his sister over, “You ok!?”
“I’m fine.” Sparrowkit mewed “Just miss’en you.” She purred loudly. Tornadostar came out at last “Sparrowkit.” He mewed, nuzzling her “I was going to come for you at dawn! How did you get back? Are you hurt?” Tornadostar asked
“I’m fine, Larkstorm brought me back. When Pawstar found out I was YOUR kit he had me returned.” Sparrowkit purred. Tornadostar shoot a glance up at Brightface, and back at Sparrowkit
“I’m glad your back.” He mewed. Was he hiding something from me?
“Come on, you've had a hard time, back to the nursery.” Brightface mewed.

It felt good to curl back up in Brightface’s nest and her tail warped around them, to feel Sharpkit’s warm flank next to Sparrowkit’s own, the smell of warm body's in the den—Mintdawn and Stramkit, all the fimillry smells made it easy to settle in and be called by the dark and drift off in to sleep.

Chapter 3:

“Let all cats old enough their own pray gather below the Hightleage to hear my word!” Tornadostar yowled, it had some eage to it. Sparrowkit streatched at sat by the nursery entrance, and listened.
“We are going to raid PawClan again.” Tornadostar began. “And we shall hope that will teach them what happens when you steel TornadoClan kits!” the clan mewed in agreement
Slashpaw mewed over all the yowls “Anyone who takes my little sister, or ANY kit should be shown a lesson!” She mewed, Tornadostar shoot his oldest daughter a look and Slashpaw flattened her ears. “The fallowing cats are coming with me.” He mewed, eyes not leavening Slashpaw. “Tawnyfrost, Whirlscar, Deadmist, Moonsprit, And Slashpaw. Get some fresh-kill and move out!” he mewed.

Slashpaw took a deep breath, this would be the second raid on PawClan. Maby this time I will get my Warrior name. the young apprentice crouched beside her father “Should we go in?” she asked “You go to the apprentice’s den with Tawnyfrost.” He mewed “Whirlscar, Deadmist, Moonsprit, you’ll get the warrior’s den. I’ll take care of Pawstar.” He mewed, the rage in his voice. Slashpaw slowly creep over to the aprentace’s den, while the TornadoClan warriors went to the PawClan warrior den, and Tornadostar went to Pawstar’s den. Slashpaw wondered what it would have been like for Sparrowkit.
Slashpaw stuck in to the apprentice’s den, light on her paws. Timberpaw and Fawnpaw were sound asleep, stepping carefully when a twig snapped under my paws. A brown head popped up Tawnyfrost leap in to action, and so did Slashpaw. TornadoClan and PawClan fur and blood flew every were. And soon Slashpaw blacked out.

When she woke up, Nightheart was standing over me, eyes filled with pain—she knew from that look that she was dying. Slashpaw had nasty cuts in her flanks, her face clawed to shreds, still could still feel the wet blood and mud that had matted in her fur. Soon Tornadostar came in, with her sister, Sparrowkit, her borther, Sharpkit, and her mother, Brightface. Sat with me as he done the dyeing apprentice ceremony.
"I ask my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. She has learned the warrior code and has given up her life in service of her Clan. Let StarClan recieve her as a warrior. Her name will be Slashheart, because Slashheart. Let StarClan receive her by the name of Slashheart.”
Tornadostar touched noses with Slashheart, and life slowly drained out.

“Brightface, why does Slashheart have to leave?” Sparrowkit asked.
“Because she has to go.” Brightface mewed licking her kit on the head. And then she got up and shared toughs with Slashheart.
Sharpkit wrapped his tail around his paws. Brightface lifted to her paws and motioned for her kits to fallow “No! Not after I share toughs with my sister!” Sparrowkit protested. Sparrowkit trotted over to her dead sister’s body and whispered “Why do you have to go? Hope StarClan treats you right.” She mewed and then licked her cheek.
