group of warriors.
"So, hows your apprentice Badgerstripe?" Duckfoot mewed.
"She's improving, but I hear that Moonpaw is close too. Cloudpaw still needs quite a lot of training." Badgerstripe replied.
"My apprentice is doing great, I like her a lot." Nightflame added. Blazepaw's whiskers twiched. Didn't Fernpaw want to mate Dustkit, not Nightflame?
"Well, I have no apprentice for now as Darkmystery is a warrior." Riverstripe meowed. "He was tough!"
"We know!" Duckfoot chuckled.
"Yes, yes. Fernpaw is such a great cat, she does all the moves correctly! I might consider that her warrior ceremony is early." Nightflame purred.
"Just so you can mate her! Poor kid!" Riverstripe joked. The senior warriors laughed and Nightflame looked hurt and angry. Lizardeye came in, yawning. The warriors laughed at him, because his ear had flopped over after climbing a tree. Lizardeye laughed along. He was a good-hearted cat who could take a joke, unlike Nightflame. Suddenly the apprentices fell into the den through some loose ferns! They hit Lizardeye's leg and he looked down. Badgerstripe looked angry with his son.
"And what are you doing here?" Lizardeye asked sharply. Blazepaw and Emeraldpaw shrugged and Lizardeye just sent them out and they couldn't have more than one piece of prey at dinner. The apprentices left in shame and embrassment.

When moonfall came, it was so warm that everyone slept outside, apart from the kits.
"It's a beautiful night!" Fernpaw whispered to her brother. Her fur was thicker and her tail was fluffy. Blazepaw just looked back at the nursery. He wished that Cherrykit was Cherrypaw and with him. But, Blazepaw knew that wouldn't happen for 2 moons. He sighed sadly until they heard a loud bang!
"What happened?" The warriors asked Snowstar in panic. Snowstar sniffed the air. Fernpaw then felt her legs go funny. She yelped in surprise and noticed that they were stronger. She smiled. She had discovered her special power!
"The water!" A voice shouted. It was Deerleap, running back with Bubblepaw. "The river has flooded! It's heading for us!" The cats mewed in alarm.
"I'll take half the clan to see if we can stop the water from coming here." Lizardeye offered.

Fernpaw ran through the forest with Morningpaw and Blazepaw by her side. Lizardeye ran up a tree and could see the rushing water. It was rising fast.
"Quick! We must make a barrier to stop the water!" Lizardeye urged the cats. Everyone scurried around. Fernpaw jumped from branch to branch until she saw a cat in the water!
Is this the worst?

Chapter 12: Is this the worst?
"Cat in the water!" Fernpaw shouted. She jumped into the rushing water, trying to keep her head above the water. She swam towards the cat.
"Quick! Swim beside me, I will help you!" She called. The cat swam back to land.
"Hurry up! The water's rising!" Morningpaw squealed. Fernpaw grabed the cat by the scuff and swam for her life. She then was too weak to swim. She fell under.
"Fernpaw!" Blazepaw yowled. Suddenly a cat ran past Blazepaw and jumped in. The cats waited anxiously for Fernpaw and the 2 mystery cats to appear. Then, the heads of the cats came up to surface. They swam back to the barrier (Some huge logs) and with help from the SnowClan warriors got back safely. Everyone then gasped. The cat that Fernpaw went to rescue was Rainstar!
"May StarClan keep you all well, thank you so much for saving me. I had to go back for Silverpaw. The current was too strong, and I was swept away. Silverpaw got back safely." Rainstar groaned weakly. Fernpaw laid on a rock, heavily breathing. Blazepaw and the cat that had saved her were beside her. The mysterious cat licked the she-cat's head gently. Fernpaw's eyes fluttered opened.
"D.. D.. Dustkit? Did you.."
"Yes." Dustkit interuppeted. Fernpaw smiled and licked Dustkit's ear. She then got up and dipped her head in respect to Rainstar, looking sorry that she nearly killed her. Surprisingly, Rainstar dipped her head in respect to Fernpaw!
"You have saved me, and RainClan will thank you greatly. You are quite a hero in my words." She remarked. Fernpaw looked really happy. All the cats then dipped their heads. Suddenly, the water crashed into the barrier and knocked it so a little hole appeared and let the water in!
"Quick! We must shut up that hole before it gets bigger!" Lizardeye yowled. The cats got to work. Nothing would be big enough to fill the hole.
"We're doomed!" Morningpaw yowled, resting her muzzle on Fernpaw's shoulder.
"Believe in yourself Morningpaw! Remember, you might find your power!" Fernpaw whispered sharply. Morningpaw climbed up a tree and knocked a thick branch down. Lizardeye picked it up and covered the hole and the water stopped coming through the hole! Morningpaw jumped back down in pride and sat down. She then felt funny too. Her claws were aching and so were her legs. She yelped in pain and smiled. She found her power! Having the longer claws and legs, she could easily grip onto things and jump futher! Morningpaw gave a signal to Fernpaw to say she found her power. 2 cats down, 1 to go.
"The water.. it's going through the barrier!" Dustkit squealed. Badgerstripe told him to run back to camp fast and warn the others. The cats now realized they had to give up. The water was now out of control. Stopping it was out of the question. The cats had to run back fast or they would have to swim. Rainstar followed the cats. Fernpaw then had a idea.
"Quick! If we climb up trees and jump to each tree, we will get back quicker!" She meowed. The cats obeyed her and started to jump across the trees. Fernpaw then noticed another bigger, stronger barrier was blocking the water to camp! The cats yowled in triumph. Snowstar told them to get down before they fell in. They all came down. Snowstar greeted Rainstar. Suddenly, a loud squeal was heard. Fernpaw looked over the barrier. It was Sparrowsong and a RainClan patrol! Fernpaw leaned over and rescued Owlpaw. Morningpaw had longer legs and could lean over futher. She rescued Tidalwave and another apprentice called Pebblepaw. No one could reach Sparrowsong or Oceansplash. Lizardeye then jumped in. He manged to rescue Oceansplash, but not Sparrowsong. She looked like she was going to drown. Rainstar started praying until a LeafClan cat appeared. It was Butterfly! She grabbed her by the scuff and climbed up, panting. SnowClan now had 7 cats outsdie their clan in their terrortory fleeing the flood. Snowstar looked up. She was thankful no one was hurt.
"Wait!" A voice shouted. It was Deerleap. "Nightflame's dead!"
The cats stared at Deerleap in surprise. Was he really dead? Fernpaw jumped onto the barrier and looked down. Nightflame's body laid in the water. He then got up and climbed back up to camp. He wasn't dead, he had just hit his head on the logs that guarded camp. Everyone was here, safe and sound. Suddenly, more cats climbed up the barrier. It was the rest of RainClan and LeafClan, fleeing the flood water! Everyone was soaked and very tired.
"We are going to have to share dens tonight. Queens and kits go to the nursery, elders go to the elder's den, warriors and apprentices to their normal dens and leaders come with me. It might be crowded." Snowstar meowed to the clans. Everyone went to their assigned dens. Leafstar and Rainstar followed Snowstar to her den.
"You may sleep there." Snowstar mewed, pointing to a corner with her tail. It had lush ferns and comfy leaves. Snowstar lept onto one of the branches low down in the tree and went to sleep. Leafstar and Rainstar went to sleep quickly.

The next morning, Snowstar was woken up by a loud yowl. She woke up and walked out to camp. Here, she saw Bloodstar and a BloodClan patrol. Their pelts were dripping wet with water and they looked weak.
"What are you doing here?" Lizardeye asked, snarling.
"You seem to be on higher ground than the other terrortories. Our's has been destroyed by the flood. As you are giving shelter to the other clans, it would only be fair if you gave shelter to us." Bloodstar growled. The SnowClan cats hissed in fury. Featherkink, Venombite and Birdpaw, the cats with Bloodstar growled.
"After what you did to us, now you want shelter? No way! Get off our terrortory before we shove you from a tree!" Snowstar hissed angrily. The 4 BloodClan cats left, hissing and snarling.
"That went well." Lizardeye meowed. The cats agreed. Thankfully, everyone was still able to hunt because the forest was on higher ground and the flood had brought plenty of fish. Everyone had to share though, after all, it was SnowClan camp. Every night, all the cats would tell stories of their clans. Butterfly told the story of when she was found and taken into LeafClan. Sparrowsong told of her troubles before giving birth to Melodystep. Badgerstripe told about the dog attack, and how they lost 7 cats. Fernpaw listened with pride. She then whispered to her brother. "I bet this is the worst that StarClan warned us about!" She was indeed right.

"So, two down, one to go." Pebblefish sighed. Hawkheart nodded.
"We'll have to do something. If we don't, the clan will be in danger once more." Blackeye meowed. Hawkheart's ears pricked up. Why would they? They had saved two clans from the flood! It wasn't anyone's fault that Blazepaw still hadn't found his power.
"I'll talk to him." Hawkheart mewed softly. She then sighed. Would this ever be done?

Loner territory

1 moon later, the flood water was gone. The clans returned to their terrortory. SnowClan continued as normal.
"Let's send some patrols." Snowstar meowed. "Lizardeye, Morningpaw and Duckfoot on one. Patrol the BloodClan boarder. Badgerstripe, Darkmystery and Blazepaw on another. Patrol the river. Deerleap, Bubblepaw and Robineye, patrol the LeafClan boarder. Nightflame, Riverstripe and Barkclaw, patrol the RainClan boarder. Finally, Leafdew, Fernpaw and Bearpelt. Patrol around the Twoleg place please. Another patrol picked up a strange scent." The cats called went to go on their patrols. Fernpaw went over to Leafdew and Bearpelt.
"Ready?" Bearpelt asked the apprentice.
"Ready as i'll ever be." Fernpaw replied. Bearpelt smiled and walked towards a tree. She then stopped.
"Race you there!" She shouted. Leafdew and Fernpaw ran
