Rain poured throughout the gorge that was the DarkClan camp. Warriors, queens, kits, apprentices and all the remaining cats poked their heads out of their dens, eyes wide in fear. "The gorge is flooding!" came a wail from the other side of the clearing, and all of hell broke loose. Cats swarming everywhere, some slipping on the wet rock, and some standing still, wailing in fear. Moonlight and Sunshadow raced out of their dens in the midst of the chaos.
"Sunshadow, there's something I have to tell you," Moonlight said at last after moons of staying silent. "I don't trust this clan and you shouldn't either."
Her brother's eyes widened for a moment as she spoke, but then softened. "I know what you mean," he whispered. "It still seems like we're not welcome. But what do you want to do?"
Moonlight could tell that the tom wasn't really buying her words. She didn't know how, but she could tell. "We have to go," she said. "We'll run away by ourselves from this clan and go back to being rouges."
Sunshadow nodded slowly. "Let's go then," he said, being his listening-to-sister self.
As the two struggled to climb up the side of the gorge that was already packes with cats, Sunshadow noticed something out of the corner of his eye. "Lightpelt!" he screeched, as thunder crashed and lighting nailed down, setting the trees ablaze and sending them tumbling into the camp. He saw the gray she cat that he had come to love, still with fear, eyes wide.
"I have to save her!" he cried, flinging himself back down into the camp.
"SUNSHADOW!!!!!" Moonlight screeched as she watched the brown pelt of her brother disappear into the midst of the rain. Lighting flashed, and when the flashing cleared, all that was left of the clan was a gorge filled with burning trees and dead cats. Moonlight's eyes widened as she thought of the day her parents died. "No...." she whispered with horror. "Not again..."
