Note: Feel free to edit my grammar or spelling mistakes, but please don't edit anything else.

Summary
The time has come for four kits of the four Clans -- Bumblepaw, Reedpaw, Graypaw, and Mosspaw -- to become apprentices. They are the great-great-great-great-great-grandchildren of the great leader Thistlestar, and all four possess unusual power and talent. However, secrets surround them, and they have to trample through a forest of lies in order to uncover the truth. A mysterious prophecy hints at trouble to come, and the Clans are in danger of being washed away by a river of blood, and all the young cats' strength will be needed if the Clans are to survive.

Prophecy
When the Clans divide,

Fire and Ice will fight,

New leaders will rise,

And the Four will unite.

A secret is concealed,

A secret will be revealed,

A secret will be spilled,

A secret will be healed.

Then blood will arrive upon the Clans,

And the Four will know what he plans,

With the united Four there’s another chance,

And bring back hope and help the Clans survive.

Prologue

The brown tabby leader yawned and curled up in the leader’s den with his mate, Cherryleaf, beside him. When he opened his eyes again, it wasn’t early and bright with every cat starting to get up and his deputy starting to order patrols. However, it was dark.

A full moon hung in the eerie silence of the night. The leader padded quietly to the mouth of the cave. The route was outlined with brambles, bracken, and thorns, and the path was smooth with scarcely any bumps.

An old she-cat sat in the mouth of the cave, looking at the leader arriving.

“You asked me to come,” The leader mewed politely and respectfully.

"Yes. I have something to tell you," the ca replied. She was starry and almost transparent, and her pelt and muzzle were scarred by time and battle. Her voice was weary, but confident. “You are a good leader. No cat would have done better, not even Goldenstar. You should be proud to yourself.”

"Thank you."

“But you also have to remember, the destiny of the whole Clan is not what you can do. You can only shape your destiny only.” Then, she rose stiffly to her paws, and her gaze was no longer resting on the leader. She seemed to be staring past him.

The leader turned around but saw nothing but trees and the moon in the distance. “What?” he asked, puzzled.

“When the Clans divide,

Fire and Ice will fight,

New leaders will rise,

And the Four will unite.

A secret is concealed,

A secret will be revealed,

A secret will be spilled,

A secret will be healed.

Then blood will arrive upon the Clans,

And the Four will know what he plans,

With the united Four there’s another chance,

And bring back hope and help the Clans survive.”

With that, she padded out the den.

“Wait!” the tomcat cried. “You’ve got to tell me more!” He charged out the cave to the old she-cat.

But the cat only replied, “Goodbye, Thistlestar. In the moons to come, remember me.”

Thistlestar jolted awake and relaxed when he saw that he was still in his den. Sunlight streamed in through the small crack that acted as an entrance to the den. Cherryleaf was still asleep beside him. He tiptoed out out the den and looked down from highledge. His deputy was stretching in the middle of the clearing with his mate coming to greet him.

Thistlestar smiled. Good morning, my Clan.

* * *

“Thistlestar!” Moonlight shrieked as she watched her leader tumble down the cliff with the dog. It was two years later, and he was on his last life as he tumbled down the cliff.

''Oh no! The prophecy! I forgot to tell anyone! What will —''

His thoughts broke down as he plunged into icy river. The dog lost its grip on him and sank to the bottom of the river while Thistlestar splashed helplessly in the water. Then, when he was about to sink, he felt teeth sinking into his scruff and hauling him onto the sandy ground. He gasped for air.

“Thistlestar! It’s Breezewhisker and Moonlight. Are you okay?”

"Yes. Goodbye, I'm ready to join StarClan."

Chapter 1
~Bumblekit~

''Bumblekit jolted awake. Today was the'' day for her — and her siblings’ — apprentice ceremony! Then, she felt her mother’s tongue starting to smooth her wrinkled fur. She wriggled away.

“Mother,” she complained. “Mother, that’s enough! You spent your whole day yesterday grooming me!”

Her mother let out a mrrow of amusement. “I already finished cleaning your brothers. They are playing in the clearing. You can go, but don’t get into any warrior’s way!”

“Okay, mother,” Bumblekit replied. She bounded into the clearing to her brothers. She scented prey. Hmmm. The warriors have brought back plenty of prey for even the coldest and longest leaf-bare.

“Wanna play moss ball?” Badgerkit asked, barreling into her.

“No,” Bumblekit replied, scrambling to her feet. She was not planning to play today. She needed to see the leader. Right now.

Berrykit sighed. “What is she up to now?”

Bumblekit scrambled up the rocky highledge to the leader’s den.

“It’s Bumblekit. May I come in?” she called.

“Come in,” Sparkstar replied.

Bumblekit ducked into the den and sat before her leader. She and Emberstorm were sharing tongues. Sparkstar sat up when she came in.

“I want to be the medicine cat apprentice,” she announced when Sparkstar and her mate Emberstorm were both ready.

“Uh. . . why?” Sparkstar asked.

“It’s because I like helping Cloudleap helping the sick cats and treating their wounds while they come back from battle,” she explained. “Also, I can exercise my brain. LeafClan needs a future medicine cat. Cloudleap is old already and is almost time to join the elders. And, there are other ways to help the Clan than just being a warrior. A warrior need to help the Clan — fight, hunt, build dens, and so on, and even die to serve the Clan. But being a medicine cat — a medicine cat also learns how to fight and hunt and collect moss and treat the elders with mouse bile, but they also learn how to treat wounds and how to fight of illnesses. And, they can also get to meet with the other medicine cats and help them when they can need help. And, they can also go to the Moonpool and meet with StarClan cats!”

“But. . . what about your blindness?”

“I’m blind doesn’t mean I can’t make a good medicine cat. I know almost all the herbs already and I have helped Cloudleap with his sick and wounded cats many times!”Bumblekit hissed.

Sparkstar nodded. “I’ll think about that. Thank you. You can go now.”

Bumblekit dipped her head and bounded back to the clearing.

* * *

At sunhigh, Sparkstar called for a Clan meeting.

“Let all the cats old enough to catch their own prey come here for a Clan meeting!” she called. Her voice rang out brightly against the stone hollow.

The Clan began to emerge from the dens and sit beneath Highledge.

“Today, three of our kits are going to become apprentices,” she continued. “They are Badgerkit, Berrykit, and Bumblekit. Step forward.”

Sparkstar bounded down onto the ground and the three kits stepped forward with Bumblekit’s tail twitching excitedly.

“Badgerkit, from this day until you receive your warrior name, you will be Badgerpaw. Sunfall, I know that I am putting Badgerpaw in safe paws. I pray that StarClan gives your apprentice all the strength and wisdom he will need.”

Badgerkit's tail shot up as he touched noses with Sunfall.

“Badgerpaw! Badgerpaw!” the Clan cheered.

Sparkstar raised her tail for silence.

“Berrykit, from this day until you receive your warrior name, you will be Berrypaw. Ferntail. You mentored Mouseflight, and she is all the credit to his Clan. Now LeafClan asks you to prove yourself once more a great mentor.” Sparkstar mewed.

Berrypaw bounded to Sunfall touched noses with him.

“Berrypaw! Berrypaw!” the Clan cheered.

Sparkstar raised her tail for silence again.

“Bumblekit, from now on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be named Bumblepaw. Cloudleap, you have been a medicine cat for moons, and now, it's your turn to teach an apprentice.”

“Bumblepaw! Bumblepaw! Berrypaw! Berrypaw! Badgerpaw! Badgerpaw!” the Clan cheered.

"This meeting is dismissed," Sparkstar announced.

"Bumblepaw," Cloudleap called to her. "Eat the traveling herbs. We need to go to the Moonpool tonight. It's half-moon." He placed a bundle of traveling herbs at her paws.

Bumblepaw ate the bundle. Yuck. It tasted disgusting! When she finished, she licked her lips and tried to get the disgusting smell off. She and Cloudleap went to the WaterClan border and met Crocodileleaf and her apprentice, Sealclaw. Soon, Brightmoon and Duskpaw -- the SpaceClan medicine cats -- and Meadowshine and Dappleleaf -- the SkyClan medicine cats -- arrived.

"Hi guys," Cloudleap mewed. "This is Bumblepaw, my apprentice."

"Hey," she mewed nervously, shuffling her feet.

Then, they traveled to the Moonpool. When they got there, it was moonhigh.

"StarClan! I bring you Bumblepaw, my apprentice, and pray you accept her as you once accepted me," Cloudleap called to the sky.

"Lap up a few drops of the water," he told her. Bumblepaw obeyed, and the other medicine cats did the same. "Now, touch your nose to the pool."

Bumblepaw obeyed, and immediately fell fast asleep.

When she woke up, she found herself in a forest. She can see!

“Hi, Bumblepaw.”

Bumblepaw whirled around. “Cherrystar!” she gasped.

Cherrystar was the last leader of LeafClan, and Sparkstar was her deputy.

“I’m Polarheart,” the tom introduced himself beside Cherrystar.

“We have come to warn you that there’s a great battle coming,” Cherrystar mewed. “Beware.”

Then, Bumblepaw found herself on an island. She looked closer. It was LeafClan’s island! She also heard battle cries and cats snarling and fighting. Suddenly, her vision darkened, and a voice rang in her ears:

When the Clans divide, Fire and Ice will fight.

She jolted awake. What is happening? she thought, bewildered and scared.

Who’s that? a voice sounded inside her ear.

I’m Bumblepaw from LeafClan, she replied nervously.

Why can I hear three other voices? Another voice jumped in.

“Ack!” Bumblepaw jumped. Who are you?

I’m Mosspaw from SpaceClan, the voice replied.

I’m Reedpaw from WaterClan, another voice answered.

And I’m Graypaw from SkyClan, the last voice replied.

''Why can we hear each other’s thoughts? ''Bumblepaw wondered.

I heard a voice, saying something like Clans divided and something something fight something something Fire and Ice? Graypaw mewed.

''Me too! Oh, that’s a prophecy! And, I think, we’re the prophecy cats!'' Bumblepaw exclaimed.

“HEY! BUMBLEPAW! ARE YOU DAYDREAMING?” Cloudleap roared. “It’s time to say goodbye to the other medicine cats and return to our Clans!”

Oof, you’re a medicine cat apprentice! Mosspaw yelped.

“Okay,” Bumblepaw replied. “Let’s go.”

They went back to LeafClan and said goodbye to the other Clans’ medicine cats on the way.

“You’d better pay more attention next time,” he scolded her when they got to the camp. “Now, we’ll learn about the herbs --” He was interrupted by a patrol racing into the camp. Bumblepaw sensed fear sparking from their pelts.

“What is it?” Sparkstar demanded.

“We’ve. . . found a badger. . . inside our. . . territory!” Crimsontail gasped.
