Introduction

Blue Star suddenly stopped at the top of the slope. The stench from the dog hit my nostrils.

When a group of black shadows swarmed through the valley, the ferns on both sides also swayed. Fireheart's orange-red fur shimmered like a flame in the grass. He kept a safe distance from the dogs. But the lead dog was quickly closing in on the ThunderClan deputy.

No! You can't touch him!

Blue Star flew down the hillside, weaving in and out of the trees. She breathed heavily, her four paws sliding on the leaf-covered ground in the forest, and every muscle in her body seemed to be radiating heat. As she walked through a fern, the leaves whipped her face and blocked her eyes. Lan Xing couldn't see anything, so he had no choice but to rush forward based on his feelings. The canyon is almost there. She could hear the sound of the river washing against the gray cliffs on either side. Can Fireheart really lead these dogs to the edge of the cliff? What if the lead dog catches him first?

Blue Star rushed out of the bushes and staggered to a stop in a clearing on the edge of the cliff. Fallen leaves flew up from her feet and fell into the canyon.

Oh, StarClan, no!

A huge dog stood on the edge of the cliff, its teeth glowing in the night. Fireheart is being held in its mouth. He struggled hard, and his mouth seemed to be spitting out anger. The giant dog swung Fireheart's body from side to side, his eyes shining with victory, but his clumsy paws were sliding toward the dangerous edge of the cliff.

"I will not let you destroy my tribe!" Bluestar roared angrily, pounced on the dog that was torturing Fireheart and slammed into its right abdomen.

The dog dropped Fireheart and turned around in surprise.

Blue Star squatted on the ground and raised his chin provocatively. Her ears turned red, but she was not afraid. She had never been afraid at night in her life. She jumped up with a cry and lunged towards the giant dog's chin, but she missed the target and the giant dog slid backwards! The ground beneath its hind legs was crumbling. It is desperately trying to catch something. As it struggled, stone chips fell down the steep cliff of the canyon, while its clumsy claws continued to slide on the ground covered with fallen leaves, and its back half was already hanging on the edge of the cliff.

The dogs are getting closer and closer, and the sound of running is like exploding thunder.

"Bluestar!" Fireheart warned.

Blue Star dug his claws into the soft soil. At this time, a sense of fear suddenly rose in the air. The dogs had already seen the canyon and hurriedly wanted to stop on the edge of the cliff. Their roars turned into howls. Blue Star still stood motionless. A hysterical cry echoed through the canyon, and the first dog fell off the cliff. Its body kept hitting the cliff wall, making banging sounds. After a moment of silence, it fell into the roaring river at the foot of the cliff.

Blue Star narrowed his eyes and stared at the huge lead dog. "You shouldn't threaten ThunderClan!" she growled.

Suddenly, the leading dog leaned forward, bit one of her front legs, and dragged her down the cliff. She felt the ground beneath her feet slipping and her body falling. The wind roared around her, blowing her hair violently. The water swirled below, stirring up lots of foam.

Blue Star struggled desperately in the cold and damp air. Just before she fell into the river, she finally got rid of the dog.

The cold river water made it difficult for her to breathe. She struggled wildly in the water, trying to raise her head above the water to breathe. At the same time, she was filled with panic. Water will destroy you. Goosefeather's prophecy echoed loudly in her mind.

Her thick hair became very heavy after being soaked in water, causing her body to keep falling. He was spinning back and forth under the impact of the river water, and he couldn't figure out which direction was upstream. She was breathless now, fear scorching her heart like fire. The prophecy says that the Blue Star will shine like fire in the forest—only water can destroy her. She would drown here, in this river of flying water in the canyon.

"Don't give up!" The familiar meow roared across the river, ringing clearly in her ears.

Oakheart?

It was the children's father who whispered in her ear: "Swimming is like running in the forest." His voice was no different from when he taught the young Blue Star to swim, "Let the soles of your feet Move. Lift your chin. Let the water carry you." Oakheart's words lifted her spirits. Finally, Blue Star finally swung his limbs steadily in the water and swam. After she struggled to lift her chin, her heart, which was contracted due to pain, gradually relaxed. The wind finally blew across her cheek. She took a greedy breath, but couldn't help but cough.

"Just do it." Oakheart whispered in her ear.

His voice sounds so gentle and pleasant. Perhaps, she should let the river roll her into his warm embrace.

"Bluestar, swim! Swim to the shore!" Oakheart's voice suddenly became sharp, "Our children are waiting for you."

Our children! The thought struck her like lightning.

"You can't leave them without even saying goodbye."

A sudden strength surged from her body, supporting her to fight against the river water again. A dark figure bumped her, sending her into the water again, but she soon struggled to the surface. Her mouth was full of river water, and she was purring intermittently. A dog tumbled past her and was swept downstream.

If even a dog can’t defeat this river, how can I?

The river water carried Blue Star forward. The branches overhead began to blur.

"You can do it!" Oakheart encouraged. Blue Star slapped the water hard, but its exhausted limbs were just shaking in vain like soaked leaves.

Suddenly, teeth bit the back of her neck. Was Oakheart trying to pull her to safety? Blue Star blinked his wet eyes hard and caught a glimpse of orange-red fur.

Fire Heart!

It was the deputy leader of the Thunder Clan who caught her.

"Raise your head!" Fireheart said through gritted teeth.

Bluestar wanted to do as he asked, but her fur was too heavy and her claws were too tired to resist the force of the water. Fireheart's teeth dug into the back of her neck as the water forced her downward.

Then, a body passed by her.

Is it one of the two dogs?

Another tooth bit the back of her neck. There were claws grabbing at both sides of her body, lifting her up.

She felt the gentle but strong movements of the two cats around her. Was it StarClan who wanted to take her to their hunting ground?

Blue Star was almost unconscious and allowed them to drag him through the river. It wasn't until the pebbles on the shore scraped against her waist that she felt the hard ground beneath her. Those claws and teeth lifted her off the gravelly bank and laid her down on the soft grass. She felt as if her chest was filled with stones and every breath was difficult. Her eyes hurt and there was too much water in them. There is no way to open it.

"Bluestar?"

She recognized that it was Mistyfoot speaking. How's Stonefur doing? Is he here too?

“Both of us are here.

"A strong foot pressed her waist.

Oakheart was right. Their children have been waiting for her here.

Bluestar opened her eyes hard , barely recognized Stonefur's figure. His broad shoulders showed clear outlines under the canopy-like green trees, exactly like his father, Mistyfoot standing next to Stonefur, his wet hair clinging to his body. /p>

Blue Star felt the breath on her cheeks.

“Is she okay? asked Mistyfoot, Bluestar's daughter.

Fireheart leaned over and said, "Bluestar, I am Fireheart." You're okay and safe now. "

Blue Star could hardly hear what he was saying. She looked at her children. "You saved me. "She whispered.

"Shh-don't talk. "Mistyfoot persuaded.

But I have a lot to say! Bluestar stretched his neck forward. "I have something to say to you... I hope you can forgive me for sending Gone you guys. "He coughed as he spoke, and foam overflowed from the corner of his mouth, but she still resisted and continued, "Oakheart promised me that Graypool will be a good mother to you. ”

“She is indeed a good mother. "Stonefur said calmly.

Bluestar shrank a little: "I owe her a lot. She wished she could breathe easier and explain more clearly, "I also owe a lot to Oakheart for teaching you so well." "Why hasn't she been able to find a suitable way to tell them this before? "I have been watching you grow up, and I have seen that you have to pay a lot to the tribe that takes you in." If my original choice had been different, you would have devoted all your strength to ThunderClan. "She shuddered and tried to breathe: 'Forgive me!"

She looked at the children. Time seemed to freeze for a moment when she saw Mistyfoot and Stonefur exchange uncertain glances. Please forgive me.

"She suffered so much because of you." Fireheart was pleading for her.

Stop talking! If you don't want to forgive her from the bottom of your heart, then the superficial forgiveness is meaningless. She wished Fireheart would keep his mouth shut.

Mistyfoot lowered his head and licked Bluestar's cheek: "We forgive you."

"We forgive you." Stonefur also said.

Blue Star closed her eyes. Her two children began to lick her already soaked fur. It was the first kiss she had received from the children since she had left them with Oakheart that snowy day.

There is no need to hold on to the last life. A spark would take her place, igniting a new flame to light up the entire forest. ThunderClan is safe. She closed her eyes and fell into dizzy darkness.

Chapter 1 (Part)

"Should she open her eyes now?"

"Shh, Jetwind. She was just born The first day. When she is ready, she will naturally open her eyes."

Xiaolan felt her mother Yuehua's tongue licking her belly. So she snuggled closer to the milky embrace.

"Xiaoxue opened her eyes this morning." Jiefeng reminded her, "My two children opened their eyes just after they were born." The cat queen used her tail to Patting her nest gently, "Little Leopard and Little Spot are born warriors."

The third queen purred softly. "Oh, Jiefeng, we all know that no kitten can compare to your two." There was a hint of mockery in Poppy Shu's voice.

A small paw poked Xiaolan's abdomen.

It’s Xiaoxue!

Xiaolan whimpered uneasily and leaned closer to Yuehua.

"Please, Xiaolan!" Xiaoxue whispered in her ear, "There are many beautiful things outside, and I want to see them. But if you don't behave better, Yue Hua won't let me go."

"When the time comes, she will open her eyes," Yuehua scolded her.

Yes, it will be opened when the time comes. Xiaolan agreed.

Xiaolan woke up and felt her sister pressing on her. Moonflower lay next to them, her belly rising and falling rhythmically. Jie Feng was snoring, while Poppy Shu's breath was mixed with huffing and puffing sounds.

Little Lan also heard Little Leopard and Little Spot muttering outside.

"You will be a mouse and I will be a warrior!" Little Spot ordered.

"I was the one who was the mouse last time!" the little leopard said dissatisfied.

"It's not true!"

"It's true!"

They fought, screaming provocatively from time to time.

"Be careful! Don't roll around!" A tom cat shouted angrily, and they immediately fell silent. But after a while, they got into trouble again.

"Okay, I'll let you be a warrior." Little Spot agreed, "But I bet you can't catch me."

Samurai!

Xiao Lan twisted her body to get out from under her sister. The breeze of the new leaf season gently shook the blackberry screen, blowing through its cracks a fresh forest smell, the same smell that Dad smelled when he came. The fresh scent dispelled the smell of moss, milk, and sleeping fur in the room.

Little Lan twisted her paws back and forth excitedly. I'm going to become a samurai!

She opened her eyes for the first time, blinking as a few beams of light came in from the top of the nest made of blackberry bushes. This nursery is so big! When I couldn't see anything, I felt that this nest was small but very comfortable. Now she saw how high the blackberry roof was above her head, and beyond the small gap was a patch of blue.

Poppy Dawn was lying next to her, close to a wall. She is a dark brown tabby cat with a long tail and very bushy hair. The reason why Xiao Lan can recognize her is because her smell is different from the smell of Jie Feng and Yuehua. She hasn't given birth yet, so she doesn't smell like milk. Jie Feng sleeps in a nest next to Blue, barely visible. She curled up tightly, like a ball, and her nose was covered by her tail. Her striped white fur looked a little dirty against the fern mat underneath her.

The smell that Xiaolan is most familiar with is right behind her. She turned around and stared at her mother. The sunlight casts mottled shadows on Moonflower's silver-gray fur. The black markings on her belly rose and fell with her breathing, like ripples on the water. She also has markings on her narrow face, and her ears are slightly pointed. Do I look like her? Xiao Lan turned her head and looked at her hair. The fur is fluffy, not as smooth as Yuehua's, and is all dark gray with no markings. Or maybe the markings haven’t grown yet.

Xiaoxue straightened her body and lay on her back next to her. She is all white except for the tips of her ears, which are gray.

"Xiao Xue!" Xiao Lan shouted.

"What's the matter?" Xiaoxue moved her eyelids and opened her eyes. Her eyes are blue.

Are my eyes blue too? Xiaolan thought.

"You finally opened your eyes!" Xiaoxue jumped up, her sleepiness suddenly gone, "Little Spot and Little Leopard have gone outside the nursery!"

Xiaolan found a hole in the BlackBerry screen, which was big enough for two cats to squeeze out. "Little Spot and Little Leopard are already outside. Let's go scare them!"

Poppy Dawn begins. "Don't go too far," she whispered sleepily, before tucking her nose back under her tail.

"Where is Poppy Shu's child?" Xiaolan asked in a low voice.

"It will take another two months for them to arrive." Xiaoxue replied.

Advent? Xiaolan's head tilted to one side. Coming from where?

Xiaoxue climbed over Yuehua awkwardly and walked towards the hole. Xiaolan stumbled and followed. She slid from her mother's back onto the soft moss behind, her short legs still a little unsteady.

There was a rustling sound in the nest, and then Xiaolan felt the tip of her tail being pressed to the ground by a soft paw, "Where are you going?"

Yuehua is awake.

Xiao Lan turned around and winked at her mother: "Go outside.

"

Yuehua's eyes suddenly lit up, and a loud gurgling sound came from her throat. "You have opened your eyes! "You can hear that she seems to be relieved at last.

"I think it's time. "Xiao Lan replied.

"Hey, Jiefeng. "Yuehua turned around with satisfaction and said, after waking up the white-haired cat with stripes, "I told you a long time ago that when she is ready, she will naturally open her eyes. "Jie Feng sat up and licked his paw. "Of course she will. However, my children open their eyes earlier. " She wiped her mouth with the sole of her paw and straightened out the hair on her nose.

Yuehua turned around and looked at her kittens: "Do you want to go outside and see the world now? ? "

"Why not go? "Xiao Lan said, "Little Leopard and Little Spot are already outside. "

"But they are all five months old," Yuehua told her. "They are much older than you, so they are allowed to play outside. "

Xiao Lan opened her eyes wide: "Is it dangerous outside? "

Yuehua shook her head: "There is no danger in the camp. "

"Then we can go! "

Yuehua sighed, then leaned down and stuck out her tongue to help Xiaolan smooth out her fur. "I think you won't stay in the nursery forever. She looked at Xiaoxue carefully again and said, "Straighten your beard." "The heartfelt pride made the cat queen's amber eyes sparkle, "I hope that you will look impeccable when you appear in front of the cats of the clan. "

Xiaoxue quickly stroked the two tufts of beard on her cheeks with her paws.

Xiaolan looked up at her mother: "Do you want to go with us? "

"Do you want me to go with you? "

Xiaolan shook her head: "We want to scare Little Spot and Little Leopard. "

"Treat them as your first prey. "Yuehua's beard trembled, "Go ahead. "

Little Blue jumped back and forth a few times and rushed towards the gap.

"Don't get stepped on by other cats! "Yuehua shouted behind them. At this time, Xiaolan had staggered in front of her sister and was squeezing out of the cave, "You two have to stay together! The blackberry bushes caught Blue's fur as she squirmed toward the nursery. She rolled onto the floor outside the nursery. The sun stung her eyes. She blinked away from the sunlight. Direct shot. The camp lay before her, as in a dream. A large expanse of open sand stretched to where a rock cast a shadow so long that it almost reached her toes. They shared their prey next to a clump of nettles. On the other side of them, a tangled pile of branches lay on the ground not far from the nursery. , a large area of ??low shrubs stretched its branches above the ground, and in the corner on the other side of the nursery, there was a dense barrier of fern, which little blue had to stretch out. She had to straighten her neck to see the top of the gorse.

A flash of excitement crossed her mind. This was her territory! At this time, she felt a little pain in her feet.

Little Blue didn’t see the little spot, nor the little leopard.

“Where did they go? "She shouted at Xiaoxue.

Xiaoxue was looking back and forth around the camp. "I don't know. she said absently, "look at that prey!" "She saw a pile of birds and mice on one side of the clearing. On top of the prey pile was a fluffy squirrel, and it was also chubby.

"Fresh prey pile! "Little Blue twitched her nose and jumped towards the pile of prey. She had heard the queen cats talking about the prey in the nursery, and she had smelled the smell of squirrels on her mother's hair. What would be in her mouth? What about the smell? She pushed her nose into the pile of prey and pressed her paws against a small thing with short brown fur and a long and thin tail.

"Careful! ”

Xiaoxue’s warning was too late. Just when Xiaolan’s paws were about to clasp, the fat squirrel rolled down the pile of prey and knocked her to the ground.

Ouch!

Nettles purred playfully from the two warriors nearby. "I've never seen fresh prey attack a cat!" one of the warriors said.

"Be careful!" another warrior warned, "those hairs will choke you!"

Little Lan felt hot all over with embarrassment. She struggled out from under the squirrel and stared angrily at the two warriors. "It just fell on me!" She doesn't want to be remembered as the kitten that was attacked by a dead squirrel.

"Hey, you two!" When Spot comes out from behind the nursery, Blue recognizes him by the scent he left behind in the nursery. "Does your mother know you are outside?"

"Of course!" Xiao Lan immediately turned around and saw her nest mates for the first time.

Oh.

She didn’t expect that the little spot would be so big. His black and white hair was as smooth as a samurai's hair. She had to raise her head and look up at him. She stretched her limbs as much as possible to make herself appear taller.

The little leopard ran up behind his brother and hit his tail playfully. Her black fur shone in the sunlight. When she found Xiaolan and Xiaoxue, she immediately stopped and looked at them happily: "You have opened your eyes!"

Xiaolan licked her chest to smooth out the fluffy hair. , so that they look as smooth as their fur.

"We can take you around." The little leopard meowed excitedly.

Xiaoxue jumped up and down happily next to the older kitten: "Okay, please!"

Xiaolan wagged her tail in embarrassment. She doesn't want other cats showing her around their territory. She wants to explore alone! But the little leopard was already running quickly towards the large fern next to the gorse barrier. "This is the apprentice's lair." She turned her head and shouted loudly, "In a month, we will sleep here!"

Xiaoxue ran over behind her.

"Are you coming?" Little Spot gently pushed Xiao Lan.

Xiao Lan was looking back at the nursery. "Don't you miss your old home?" A trace of worry suddenly flashed through her heart. She liked sleeping next to Yuehua.

"I can't wait to move into a new home!" Little Spot howled and rushed towards the apprentice's lair. "By then, Jetwind won't tell us to sleep quietly when we talk. That would be great!"

Xiao Lan hurriedly followed him. At this time, the fern moved, and a tortoise-shell face poked out from among the green plants.

"Once you start training," the sleepy-looking apprentice yawned, "you will be happy if you can get a good night's sleep."

" Hello, Spotted Paw!" Spotted spotted the tortoise-shell she-cat poking her head out from the fern, and stopped at the door of the apprentice's lair.

Xiao Lan looked at her. She has thick, shiny fur. When she jumped out of the fern and landed next to the little spot, the muscles in her shoulders trembled slightly. Suddenly, Xiaolan felt that the size of the little spot didn't seem to be big at all.

"We are taking Xiaolan and Xiaoxue around the camp." Little Leopard said loudly, "This is the first time they have come out."

"Don't forget to take them with you. Look at the convenience." Spottedpaw said jokingly. "Whitepaw was complaining about cleaning the nursery this morning. The place has been filled with kittens lately and there are more kittens waiting to be born."

Xiao Lan raised her chin. "Now Xiaoxue and I can clean our own nests," she announced.

Spottedpaw's beard trembled: "When Whitepaw comes back, I will tell her. I'm sure she will be happy to hear the news." Is she kidding? Xiao Lan narrowed her eyes. "I really want to go hunting!" Little Spot crouched on the ground, wagging its tail like a snake.

Spotted Claw rushed over like a gust of wind, and quickly pressed down Little Spot's tail with his paws. "Don't forget to keep your tail still, otherwise you'll make a noise when you hit the leaves and your prey will spot you.

”

The little spot twitched its tail, stretched it and laid it flat on the ground.
