PROLOGUE
Dovestar watched as ThunderClan fell before her. She held the power of Ancient Skies in her paws, but was powerless to save her Clan. Her deputy fell. Both medicine cats. All kits. Half the queens. Three-quarters of the Warriors. Five of the six apprentices. And all ten elders.
She had had over fifty cats in her care before. Now, only eleven remained. What could she do? When the last apprentice fell, she knew. She couldn't do anything. The enemies took pity, she supposed. They killed one more warrior, then left. Dovestar sighed. Make that nine cats in her care. Suddenly, a strengthening rage ran through her. She would rebuild ThunderClan.
ShadowClan and those rouges would pay.
__________________________
It was the day after the battle, and ThunderClan still had no medicine cats, nor deputy. A queen yowled. Dovestar ran to the nursery, herbs in mouth. The tiny bit of medical knowledge she had would have to be enough. Cloudpelt, the queen, cried out hoarsely as the kit exited her body.
"Dove...care.." The queen spoke no more. Dovestar blinked back tears and licked the kit. Deciding she would name it Autumnkit, she called her new deputy inside.
"Breezetail. Lick Autumnkit for me. I have some burials to make," Both the she-cats touched noses before sadly turning away.
"CHAPTER" 1
"May you be known as Autumnpaw. I shall mentor you on your way to becoming a medicine cat." Autumnpaw's leader faltered. "I...do not know much, so do not hesitate to ask the other medicine cats for help." Autumnpaw tingled with excitement as she touched Dovestar's nose.
Berrykit and Flowerkit began the chant. "Autumnpaw! Autumnpaw!" The rest of the Clan soon joined. Dovestar looked proud as Autumnpaw's eyes shone out over the small crowd. Dovestar ended the meeting and Autumnpaw hopped off the Highledge. The kits crowded around, even Jaykit and Brightkit. Autumnpaw smiled proudly as the kits pranced around her.
"Alright, leave me be! I have to settle in!" She playfully pushed the kits off and they scampered back off to the nursery.
"One more thing-Gathering crews are chosen tomorrow." Dovestar's voice rang out, and Autumnpaw nodded to herself before racing off towards the vacant medicine den. She carefully pushed through the brambles and surveyed her new living quarters.
Settling in a musty nest, she curled up, preparing for sleep, but Breezetail padded over.
"I couldn't be more proud." Her mother choked out. Autumnpaw touched noses with her and Breezetail quickly exited the den. Finally, Autumnpaw went to sleep.
________________________
Autumnpaw awoke the next morning feeling doubtful. Her dreams had not been filled with StarClan figures. She knew that she had not been blessed above the Moonpool, because of the extraordinary circumstances within her Clan. Was StarClan mad at them? Or just her? She hoped not. The buzzing if voices came from outside, and Autumnpaw slipped out the entrance to the fresh-kill pile.
"Gathering members!" Breezetail called, and Autumnpaw rushed over, vole forgotten. "Autumnpaw, Meadowpelt and Herbwing. Plus myself and Dovestar."
Autumnpaw sighed. Even though the other Clans had gotten used to the small ThunderClan entourage, she still hadn't.
'Oh well,' she thought. 'I'll just have to wait.'
"CHAPTER" 2
Dovestar flicked her tail and Autumnpaw followed her Clanmates across the log bridge and down the slope. Stories of the ShadowClan raid rushed into her head, but she pushed them away. Shinepaw bounded up to her, her sleek fur shining in the moonlight.
"Hi!" The RiverClan cat called. They talked until the leaders called for silence.
Dovestar went first. "First things first, we have a new medicine cat, Autumnpaw." Choruses of 'Autumnpaw!' rang through the clearing so loudly, Autumnpaw was afraid she would go deaf. Dovestar flicked her tail and the cats quieted. "The prey is running well. RiverClan?"
Rainstar stepped forward. He was quite old, but only on his fourth life. "The prey is running nicely, thank you. We have two new apprentices, Streampaw and Leopardpaw." The clearing rang yet again, until WindClan stepped up.
"Thank you. Runningkit was recently born, although we have found scents of ShadowClan within our borders." Turtlestar narrowed his eyes at Stripestar, who didn't move. The pretty she-cat stepped up.
"ShadowClan has nothing to report," She carefully sidestepped the matter and ignored Turtlestar's snort. Dovestar quickly stepped between the two leaders.
"Gathering is over then." Autumnpaw stood, stretching her legs. The ShadowClan medicine cat stopped her on her way out. His eyes shone with sympathy, and Autumnpaw knew he was thinking about Firebush, the previous ThunderClan medicine cat.
"If you ever need advice on anything, don't hesitate." Brittlebone said. Autumnpaw nodded and flicked her tail across his face as a gesture of kindness as she walked out. She felt Meadowpelt's gaze boring into her, and tried hard not to look at the older warrior. Finally though, she couldn't stand it anymore.
"Is there something I can do you?!" she asked angrily. Meadowpelt looked taken aback and quickly averted her gaze, swerving away from Autumnpaw, who sighed heavily.
'It's hard being the only one of your kind in your Clan.' She thought.
"CHAPTER" 3
That night, it felt as though Autumnpaw had barely closed her eyes before she was awake again. She groaned and closed her eyes again. Poking began, and Autumnpaw rolled over, growling, before opening her eyes. A gray tabby cat scowled at her.
"Finally." He started walking, obviously meaning for Autumnpaw to follow. She scampered after him, her feelings slightly hurt.
"Excuse me, who in the name of StarClan are you?!" She cried. He wheeled on her, eyes flashing.
"Jayfeather. And you ARE in StarClan."
Autumnpaw gasped. "I'm not dead, am I?!"
Jayfeather huffed. "Of course not. Now come on. We don't have all night." Autumnpaw followed the fuming cat's tail at a distance. Jayfeather stopped in the middle of the forest.
"What you're about to see isn't pretty." His voice softened. "This is the Dark Forest. You must never go in here, unless a StarClan warrior is with you. Understand?" His eyes snapped again.
Autumnpaw nodded, and Jayfeather didn't move. She went red with embarrassment as she realized this cat was blind. "Understood." She said quickly.
Jayfeather nodded curtly and entered the forest. They walked together, pelts twining, hidden amongst the trees, until they came to a clearing. A tall, dark tom was standing in the middle of many Clan smelling cats. They were fighting each other, claws unsheathed. Autumnpaw gasped softly and Jayfeather nodded to the tom.
"See him?"
"Hard to miss him." Autumnpaw muttered.
Jayfeather tensed. "That's your distant kin. Darkstripe." At this, Autumnpaw sprinted off.
More when this appears or tomorrow!

"CHAPTER" 3(cont.)
Autumnpaw ran back through the trees, back to the safety of StarClan. Jayfeather exited behind her, annoyed. He opened his mouth as if to speak, but nothing came out. He simply stared at Autumnpaw. An icy Blue tinge lit his face and spread to his tail. Shakily, Autumnpaw reached out to touch him, and he sprang to life, snarling. She backed up as he advanced on her, words spilling from his mouth.
"Ancient Sky and Ancient Leaf must make the Clans whole." Then he leapt at her. Autumnpaw sat, yowling like a kit. She realized she was back in her den and that it was morning. She pushed her way through the brambles and a dark gray she-cat that she didn't recongize greeted her.
"Hello, Autumn's Leaves! "
Autumnpaw froze. "A-a-a-autumn'sLeaves, yep, that's me. " The words fell off her tongue without her realizing.
"All cats to the Rock!" A voice called.
"Robin's Tuft! " A tom yowled and the she-cat ran over. Stunned, Autumnpaw walked over to the crowd of unfamiliar cats.
"Friends, as you know, I, Jay's Flight, have been puzzling over wether or not to draw stones. Yes, the eagles are a bit much. But should we really throw ourselves into the enemies paws? I have decided. Today, we draw. Robin's Tuft, you know the drill. " Robin's Tuft stepped up and put her stone on the go pile. A tom stepped up after but put his on leave. Back and fourth. Autumnpaw didn't even realize it was her turn until Robin's Tuft nudged her.
She then realized both piles were identical. With a pang of regret, she set her stone on stay. Murmuring spread through the crowd as Jay's Flight yowled triumphanly.
"Stay it is!" Suddenly, the crowd spun and Autumnpaw's world went black. A wrinkled old cat stepped out of the darkness, a stern look on his face.
"You were not meant to be here, Autumnpaw. Stay in your own memories, and remember this name."
Stoneteller.
"CHAPTER" 4
Autumnpaw awoke in a cold sweat, shivering. Where was she? Then she reconginized the brambly entrance of her den and sighed with relief. Just then, Tawnystripe, heavy with kits, entered the den.
"Good morning, Autumnpaw." She said kindly.
"Morning," Autumnpaw muttered sleepily.
Tawnystripe looked uncomfortable. "Do you have anything for sore muscles?"
Autumnpaw held back a laugh. "Not in stock, sorry."
Tawnysrripe looked slightly dejected and exited the den. Autumnpaw burst into laughter. It had bern an inside joke for her and Tawnystripe when she was a kit and Tawnystripe still did it every morning. Autumnpaw exited the den and pulled a small mouse off the fresh-kill pile. Eating it slowly, she barely noticed as Dovestar came up behind her.
"Deep in thought today, eh?"
Autumnpaw nearly jumped out of her pelt. "Sorry Dovestar! Um-any training lined up for today?" She asked hopefully.
Dovestar laughed sweetly. "Yes, come on. Lets go to the storeroom." Autumnpaw gobbled her last bite of mouse and padded after her leader.

"CHAPTER" 4(cont.):
"And what is this?"
"Yarrow?"
"Correct." Autumnpaw glowed at the complement. She correctly identified the next herb-catmint-before Dovestar turned serious.
"Follow me-but don't touch it." She headed out of camp and Autumnpaw followed, worried. Dovestar paused by a bush and gestured with her paws. Autumnpaw went pale.
"Deathberries," She squeaked. Dovestar nodded gravely and reentered the camp, immediently washing her paws. Then she drew Autumnpaw aside.
"I have something important to tell you. Only three of my lives remain."
Sorry for the short chapter today guys! More tomorrow!
