A/N: I decided finally that you CAN make a Warriors fanfic WITHOUT a prophecy. I'm doing one with Ravenpaw, my all-time favorite character (Excluding Jayfeather and Bluestar)! Anyways, I really hope I do a really great job with this story. Here's the full summary: After the clans had gone in search for their new home, and leading Graystripe and Millie in the correct direction in which the four clans took many moons ago, Ravenpaw is starting to wonder if he made the correct choices. If he had gone with Graystripe and Millie, then he would be reconnected with Firestar, and all of ThunderClan. But then again he was never really suited for Clan life. So when one day, a she-cat who reminds him of Bluestar shows up near the barn, Ravenpaw instantly tries to get to know her. But then Ravenpaw is forced to choice his correct life, especially when it starts to seem that maybe his new female companion might just be Bluestar reincarnated. Read on to find out!
Chapter 1
Ravenpaw watched as the sun went down again. Barley was already inside the barn sleeping. It was always at this time of the evening that Ravenpaw would take the time to think about his past choices. Back in his days at ThunderClan, Ravenpaw had always felt alert and ready to prove himself as a clan cat, not as some weakling that his mentor Tigerclaw, who was later Tigerstar, claimed him to be. It tore at him when he caught Tigerstar's murdering act with Redtail, and then not being able to say anything. But then Firepaw saved him, who also later became Fireheart, then now known as Firestar. 'I wonder if he's still leader of ThunderClan? I would most likely be welcome if he's still the leader. I wonder if Graystripe found the clan alright? There's so many things I wish to know.' Ravenpaw stood up and sighed.
"Who am I kidding? There's no way I'll be able to find out. Especially with my family miles away."
"You know, I wouldn't mind if you left to be with them again." Ravenpaw turned around to see Barley sitting down behind him, slowly cleaning himself.
"Barley! Even if I wanted to I couldn't return to the clans again."
"Why not? The way I see it, you can either stay here, or you can go on your own journey and return to ThunderClan."
"But I would want you to come with."
"Nah, I'm not leaving this barn. This is my only home. I've lived here for as long as I can remember."
"The mice and rats wouldn't know what to think if it was only you hunting them if I left."
"True, but they wouldn't care. In their little minds they would probably be grateful. One less hunter to them." Ravenpaw chuckled.
"If I do leave Barley, I would miss you."
"Trust me, I would miss you too. It would quite around here without you." Ravenpaw sighed.
"Lets continue this in the morning. I'm tired." Following Barley into the barn, Ravenpaw yawned.
"If you ask me kid, you should probably return to ThunderClan. All you have to do is following your heart and hopefully there are still some faint smells of your two friends. Graystripe, and what was his name?"
"Firestar."
"Yeah, him. He was here a lot when ThunderClan was in the area."
"As was Graystripe. He was usually here whenever Firestar was. Except of course when he became Firestar." Barley nodded.
"There's one cat I'll never forget. Bluestar."
"Yeah. Well good night Barley." Ravenpaw yawned one more time, before falling asleep.
~ThunderClan~
A ginger tom walked in the night towards the medicine cat den, where Leafpool was sleeping. Walking through the hanging bramble tendrils, he looked at Leafpool.
"Leafpool." She turned around and saw Firestar.
"Firestar, why aren't you sleeping? You should be resting after your battle earlier with ShadowClan." (A/N: This is after the third series, okay guys. So that battle with ShadowClan is made up.)
"I recieved a dream from StarClan." Leafpool's eyes glittered in the moonlight.
"What is it?"
"I don't know. It wasn't a prophecy or an omen. It was just a glimpse or something. I didn't see Bluestar among their ranks anymore."
"Firestar, she probably wasn't in your view point."
"Leafpool, I don't if I should tell you this but she was one of the cats who gave me my nine lives. Plus, she was the only cat who accepted me into ThunderClan right away. Excluding Graystripe and Ravenpaw." Leafpool's eyes softened.
"You miss him don't you?"
"Huh?"
"Ravenpaw. Right?"
"Yeah. Last time I saw him, was when we were leaving our old territory and going to this one." Leafpool nodded.
"It can be hard to release old friends. I still remember all the stories you and Sandstorm told Squirrelflight and me about. I'm glad I got to meet him." Firestar nodded.
"I'm glad you both did." Leafpool sighed.
"Here, I'll give you a couple of poppy seeds and then I'll see how your doing in the morning." Firestar nodded and lapped up the two seeds she put in front of him.
"Thank you Leafpool." She nodded and watched him walk out of her den. 'What Firestar has told me is troubling. But I might have an answer. Could it be that Bluestar has been reincarnated? Like Cinderpelt, who is now Cinderheart?'
Alright review! I know it probably sucks for a first chapter, but thats because its just began. Now I don't want anyone telling me how mean I am for even thinking that Ravenpaw would want to leave the barn and Barley. But hey, you can say whatever you want. If its a flame, I'll just use it to fuel myself and continue the story. If you don't like it, you don't have to read my stories. Alright review! And please guys, don't complain about the title of the story! I couldn't think of something catchy!
