Gulfbreeze padded silently past the lost cat , leaving her white, shining paw prints as a trail to the black rose. Her slinder body was leaned foward as if she were ready spirint off ahead off of darkfeather. The shining tabby yowl to him," Darkfeather! Follow my paw prints , they'll lead you to the black rose. You'll need it for the task ahead of you in the future to come." The thunderclanner mewed silently before disappearing into the bushes north,"Farewell for now. Don't worry other cats can't see them. " And continued guiding the young cat with her paw prints until she reached the object of interest , which was hidden by a thickit of bushes which had only one black rose remaining and the rest, buds.

Gulfbreeze padded into the hollow lite with the shining pelts of her fellow starclanners, she found herself to a crowd of cats expecting her. The tabby smiled at a blue-gray and tortorise shell she-cat, they were Bluestar , former leader of Thunderlcan, and Spottedleaf, Thunderclan's former medicine cat. The two thunderclan she-cats knew why the senoir warrior was smiling at them, Darkfeather has found the Black Rose! " Did Darkfeather find the Black Rose?" Questioned Bluestar, mono tonely. The Blue-gray warrior's tail twicthed with slight as she stared at Gulfbreeze while Spottedleaf braced herself for the messagers repile. " Yes Bluestar. He found it. Even though sending me was unnecessary at any level..."
The cats gasped in surprise at the news but one questoin remained on their minds: Where will the other three clans get their cure for this illness? What will it be? Gulfbreeze hid her own fear for her kin in the forest. How will her grandchildren and in-law deal with the sight of friends and family dying alike from the diease? Spottedleaf came out of her shock and meowed, "Thank you ,Gulfbreeze. Even though you didn't want be a messager for another clan you did, we had to because you had first forseen this terrifying event. You did very well."
" No it's Sparrowflight who saw it," She mewed modestly. "Not me."
" Well..thank you for your willingness. That is all." Gulfbreeze dipped her head respectfully and padded off to sit with her own clan. As she sat down, she gave a glance of questioning why he chose her and to stay when the others leave for their camps.

after darkfeather found out of the sickness, he was in shock, he said to sparrowflight, " but sparrowflight! there is only one healing rose! how far shall this sickness go, is it the carrion sickness from the rats at carrionplace?" sparrowflight answered, darkfeather, this sickness shall go on to the ends of the forest..." sparrowflight touched his nose to darkfeathers pelt, darkfeather saw horrifying images of cats dieing in front of there loved ones, sick cats, eyes pale, ragged to the bone, sparrowflight disappeared, darkfeather was in alot of shock.

after showing the images of the sick to darkfeather, sparrowflight walked to where starclan was, he said outloud so all starclanners could here him, " i have shown darkfeather of the sickness, soon, hopefully soon, darkfeather shall choose the right path and not let this sickness happen, but still, darkfeather may not do the right path and only give it to shadowclan, after all most shadowclanners are wicked at heart, but some, those some, are kind at heart, it is time for darkfeather to choose what path that will overwhelm him, his kin, and his kins kin, it is time for darkfeather to choose..."

Bluestar stared at him and mewed," You did very well , Sparrowflight. Thank you." Then turned to the crowd of cats and meowed," Starclan! I will need one cat from each clan to be a messager to the medicine cat and their apprentice." Spottedleaf looked at Bluestar as if she were wanting to say something but remained quiet.
"You may speak, Spottedleaf." The blue-gray warrior addressed the Thunderclan medicine cat. Spottedleaf took a breathe and mewed ," Thank you , Bluestar. " Then turned to the cats. " To cats who are to be chosen , tell your medicine cat and their apprentice to be ready for the first case , keep a close nose on the scent around their territory. Most of all , warn their clan to do so as well." The cats nodded in understanding.
" But who is going to be chosen for this task?" Meowed a black tom, it was Nightstar. "They will be Gulfbreeze of Thunderclan, Sparrowflight of Riverclan, and the other two clans were already informed." Bluestar answered.
The tabby padded foward , looked at Bluestar and dipped her head while mewing," Thank you , Bluestar. I won't fail you." then finished in her head," and that darkfeather uses this rose wisely when the time comes. Be strong Everbreeze, be strong!"
She reClan Cated what she had seen when she last looked in the pool, fear gripped her stomach like badger's cold claws. How many would join them? The last thing she saw was kits dying in dwindling numbers and mothers mourning them, wepting for them.

(oh ya everbreeze, sparrowflight is a riverclan starclan cat, but he just has a special connection, whenever something is about to happen to shadowclan or riverclan, sparrowflight always talks to darkfeather or the riverclan med cat)
darkfeather had to think through what had happened, " a sickness, but we cant have a sickness now!!!!!", sparrowflight appeared out of nowhere, he said to darkfeather, " dont worry darkfeather, for you see, if you ever need help, i shall come to you" then darkfeather said to sparrowflight, " why would you come to me, i remember you in riverclan, but why me, im in shadowclan!" then sparrowflight said," darkfeather, you see, no one knew this but us starclanners, but you used to by riverclan, and i am your kin..."

darkfeather gasped, " my kin! but i was born in shadowclan!" " that is what you think still my son, but your mother died when you and your brothers and sisters where born, all of them died when they were born or before that, but i didnt what that to happen to you, there was greencough when you were born, i didnt want you to die, so i had to abandon you in highstones on the night of the halfmoon. i guess littlecloud took you in."

Gulfbreeze's heart ached for the shadowclan medicine cat. When littlecloud found him, it was when her mate ,swiftshadow ,died of it in a severe case at that time. She remained quiet and resumed on listening from where she was at her spot beside sparrowflight. "But you must understand, Darkfeather," Meowed the tabby silently. " Sparrowflight did the right thing for you by taking you away from Riverclan. We had plans for you in your future when you were a kit, but unexpectantly greencough appeared and began infecting the clans. Your mother had joined us by then and decided that you must go to a diffirent clan for protect of it."

Stonepaw and heatherpaw stood in a meadow wondering where they are and why starclan had brought then here. " Do know where we are , Heatherpaw?" Asked the tom scaning the clearing for signs of danger but found none. Heatherpaw, a light brown tabby she-cat apprentice nodded her head.
" This place is a mystery to you as it is to me ,Stonepaw. " Heatherpaw meowed , confused just as Stonepaw. They were in a dream sent by Starclan, but why? Stonepaw thought," It's too quiet out here, maybe a quick seacrh of the area would do." Then turned to his clanmate and suggested," Maybe we should seacrh the area before we do anything else. This silence gives me the chills."
Heatherpaw mewed in agreement then added," But I have a feeling starclan wants to talk to us about something. Don't know what but it's serious." The tom have always known about her "feelings" when it comes to stuff like this and wondered how she got them so every now and then.
" Um..okay? I think we should stink together just in case we get attack , so we can defend each other." Heatherpaw gave him a glare of irration and mewed with humor and understanding ," I'll be okay stonepaw. There's proably nothing to fear out here but you're right in that case." The two cats began padding side by side , one looking right and one looking left, north towards the black rose bush and the starclan cats.

darkfeather said " so then what about this rose, there is only one, and if the sickness is as bad as you say, then how will this all work, well if im being precise, then each rose should heal at least a clan, so then...", sparrowflight interupted, " you should know darkfeather, if there is a bush, there is always more..."

sparrowflight said to himself," what an idiot," " scratch get back here," said sparrowflight, " let me explain what this is going to happen..."

Gulfbreeze watched Sparrowflight until he disappeared in the bushes with darkfeather to her right. Even though they didn't normally speak to Bloodclan, they had to, for the forest's balance of power and tradion that had been practiced for so many seasons ever since the clans first began. She glanced at darkfeather, he had her spirit when she was alive as a queen. When his mother first joined starclan, she begged them for his removal from Riverclan. They agreed upon it and made it happen in some way.
" Darkfeather ," Meowed the starclanner calmly. " When you're at the next medicine cat meeting bring the other clans' black roses to their medicine cats. They'll need when the illness arrives , it'll be extremely alarming." Moments later, three more roses bloomed from their buds. " Starclan would appreciate very much."
As stonepaw and heatherpaw treked through woodland , they scebted shadowclan and stopped at the nest. Darkfeather , shadowclan's medicine cat , had been here but why?
"Why would darkfeather be in this part of the forest?" Ventured Heatherpaw , who stood beside stonepaw awe struck. She spotted a small hill and scented rabbit coming from it , the apprentice padded up to it then sniffed the small mound , then noticed paw prints leading to another meadow. Stonepaw meowed," I don't know but something tells me that he set up camp for nothing and defintely wouldn't be away from his clan this far. "
He scanned the nest for a minute and padded over to where she was. His reaction was the same as hers when forst discovered this rabbit and noticed that paw prints led into a another meadow. "From the looks of these tracks it had been some time ago when these were made. What do you think, Heatherpaw?"
Heatherpaw agreed," I have the same idea." Then the two began padding foward into the meadow, noticing weird paw prints. Starclan! Heatherpaw stared stonepaw knowing the same thing as he did. " But why would starclan send him searching for something?" Stonepaw wondered to himself.
"Hey stonepaw? Are you coming? Wouldn't want to leave you behind." Heatherpaw called braking the dead silence. Stonepaw jumped and realized he fell behind heatherpaw then raced up blushing beneath his fur. When he first entered this dream, his stomach felt twisted and sicking as if he were about to choke up a furball. "Heatherpaw.." he thought." Whatever is going to happen to the clans don't part of it. Please don't."
The riverclan cats continued walking until they reached the rose and snuck a peek through its prickly branches. They saw a starclanner and shadowclanner in the hidden clearing , behind them was a rose bush of black roses. "Black roses? How can that be?" Mewed Haetherpaw.
" You heard of the legend right?The legend of the black rose?"Stonepaw insisted. "Yes. But that can't be. " "I don't belive it myself. Well , let's find out." The apprentice slunk out of the bush and asked," Excuse me, I have a question. Is the legend of the black rose true?"
"Stonepaw!" Heaterpaw followed him. Gulfbreeze turned her head to the two riverclan apprentices." Yes." She repiled. "It is true."
Heatherpaw staggered at her appearence." Everbreeze? Is that you? "
"No. I am her grandmother, Gulfbreeze. " Explained Gulfbreeze. " Other clan cats often mistake me for her when they first see me."
