The New Era.

Toadpaw couldn't hear, a large thorn had cut deep in his ear drum and he was blinded because of Feathertail. He continued to whine.

Silvermoon gently healed the wound in his ear, but didnt heal his eyes. She healed his left eye. "Now, you have been given two choices. Be nicer to others, or walk the path of The Place of No Stars." She meowed.

"But...She called us names." Toadpaw said, confused. "Arn't we supposed to attack cats who do that?"
Iceheart appeared. "Sticks and stones will break your bones, but words will never hurt you."
Darklight appeared, a evil smirk on his face. "Don't listen to them, do what I trained you to do."
" Do what?" Iceheart growled. "You've been training him? No wonder he's so messed up."
Darklight growled. "He needs to learn from a noble, storng cat like me, and he has been doing a fine job. Now Toadpaw, attack them and kill them." His fangs turned blood red.
Toadpaw whined and backed away.

Silvermoon purred gently as Toadpaw backed away. "Dont worry, if he keeps visiting your dreams, wake up, and fall back asleep again. If this doesnt help, visit the cats of StarClan, think of them as you dream, Toadpaw." She meowed.

Halfstar and Cherrynose appeared. "Your a weak, stupid kit, Toaddung." They spat and all three of them circled the apprintice.
Toadpaw shivered, his eyes wide.
Darklight lifted his paw to kill the cat. "See you no where." He smiled.

Silvermoon leapt at Darklight and killed the tom viciously quick, her eyes wild.

Ravenwing tackled Halfstar with great furiocity.

Feathertail leapt from the bushes and tackled Cherrynose. "Leave the apprentice alone!" She spat.

Darklight reappeared this time with Cinderclaw. "Never, we will haunt his dreams until he dies." They attacked Feathertail.
Toadpaw quickly ran far away from camp, his eyes wide with fear.

"Toadpaw!" Feathertail yowled, her voice hoarse.

Ravenwing barreled into Darlight and viciously attacked him again, while Silvermoon attacked Cinderclaw.

Darklight snarled. "We'll be back."

Toadpaw continued running, he couldn't hear any cats nor the battle, he ran until he was out of breath.

Feathertail bounded after Toadpaw. "Why didnt you help us? I understand you were frightened, but we needed your help!" She meowed in distress.

"I-I-I, it was...they.." toadpaw was shaking rabitly. "When they vist my dreams, they leave pictures, and they are going to kill me and I don't want to die and...it was just..."

Feathertail curled protectively around the apprentice. "They wont be able to hurt you. They are cats who do not believe in the power of healing or StarClan. If you dont believe in them, they wont be there." She meowed out of experience.

"I'm so sorry I attacked you," toadpaw said softly. "thank you so much for everything."

"Your welcome. Now, lets hurry back home." She meowed, meeting Ravenwing who had followed worriedly.

Toadpaw followed.

"Are you sure your going to be alright?" Ravenwing asked in a deputy-like tone, commanding authority.

Feathertail hissed playfully. "Of course I will! Stupid fur-ball." She meowed, walking faster and slightly limping. "We just need to hurry is all." She meowed.

The pregnant Fallenleaf immediatly ran to her sister, Stormcloud and Berrynose right behind carrying herbs. Berrynose helped Toadpaw.

"Thank you." Toadpaw forced a smile.

Berrynose gently put horsetail then cobwebs onto Toadpaw's wounds. "You shouldnt waste energy using a fake smile when you need it. Go get a piece of prey to eat and go to the Medicine Cat's den. These wounds could get infected." He meowed.

Feathertail let her sister wrap cobwebs around her paw.

Stormcloud noticed gravely that Fallenleaf began coughing very badly. "Ravenwing, can you go and get us some catmint?" He meowed.

Ravenwing nodded and dashed towards twoleg place.

Toadpaw nodded and walked to the medicine cat's den.

Ravenwing arrived back at sunhigh. It had been dawn when he left. He dropped it at Fallenleaf's paws. "Eat as much as you need." He meowed.

Fallenleaf glanced greatfully at him, and after having another coughing fit, she ate the catmint.

Lionkit stayed close to Stonepelt.

RageStar's red eyes glowed with anger "I am tired of the no-Star place cats appearing here! He will never come back as long as I live!" she growled. She was the daughter of FightingStar, whom was the daughter of Fightclaw, daughter of battlecry, daughter of Warfang. Indeed she was of mixed blood, but she was proud of it.

Stonepelt licked Lionkit's head.
Darklight, Poppyblood, Halfstar, Cherrynose, Robinstar appeared in a tight circle around Ragestar. Evil marked on their face.

RageStar growled, eyeing all of them "Too bad for you" she smirked and lunged at Cherrynose, bitting his neck, braking it.

Cherrynose returned and the dark cats attacked Ragestar.

Toadpaw watched with fear.

Cometpaw was sorting herbs.

Redstar leaped into battle with Ragestar.

RageStar slashed out at Darklight, knocking him down.

WarFeather leaped into battle with RageStar, slashing at Cherrynose.
