Lost Clans: A Forgotten World

This is my first attempt at a fanfiction. This takes place right after Omen of the Stars and replaces what happens. I changed a few things, the important ones are listed below.


 * Sandstorm died in the battle
 * Hollyleaf survived
 * Jayfeather died defending Briarlight
 * Briarlight is now the medicine cat apprentice, even though she can't go to the Moonpool
 * I killed off about 60% of the cats.

Prologue
Spottedleaf floated through the nothingness. All around her was a blank black void with nothing visible but Spottedleaf’s tail drifting below her. Spottedleaf let herself float freely and closed her eyes, her thoughts filled with the green eyes she could never get out of her head.

Spottedleaf was woken by a light. It was the first thing she had seen in what seemed like moons. The light was getting closer. When it got close enough, it split into five different beams of light. Spottedleaf squinted and made out starry cats. As they neared her, they slowed to a trot. Spottedleaf could see them clearly for the first time. With a jolt, she realized they were the founders of the Clans. The two on the edges were both gray toms, Riverstar and Skystar. Thunderstar was in the center, flanked by Windstar and Shadowstar. They padded to a stop in front of her and grassy land formed beneath their paws.

“Greetings,” she mewed, drifting to land on the starry earth. As soon as she landed, she dipped her head to them, awed by their presence.

“Greetings,” Thunderstar responded, his mew startling in the silence. His mew triggered curiosity in Spottedleaf, and, before she could talk herself out of it, she burst out a question.

“Where am I?” she asked, hoping she wasn’t rude.

“You are in the Void,” Thunderstar patiently answered. “It is the world between the Clan’s world and the Lost World.” The Lost World? “Cats who die their second time rest here for a day before going to the Lost World.” Had it really only been a day?!

“We are here to give you a message before you travel to the Lost World,” Skystar said.

“You see, the cats of the Clans, including StarClan, have forgotten about the Lost World, hence the name. We are the only cats who remember it.” Windstar explained.

“The few cats who have died twice since the Clans forgot have been trapped there, not knowing what to do.” Thunderstar continued. “You need to lead them out of the Lost World.”

Confusion flooded Spottedleaf. “How? I don’t know anything about the Lost World.”

Riverstar spoke this time. “Follow the prophecy.” He started chanting with Shadowstar, lines of destiny that made no sense.

“When river and wind meet as thunder, hidden in shadow, follow the stars and return to another chance.” They stopped, leaving the words floating through Spottedleaf’s brain. ''But that doesn’t help anything! I still don’t know what to do!'' she thought.

“It is time for you to join the Lost World,” Thunderstar said with a flick of his tail. As he said that, pressure filled Spottedleaf’s ears. Blood roared in her ears and she squeezed her eyes shut, the Void disappearing as she blacked out.

Chapter One
Spottedleaf woke to the sound of a river. She opened her eyes and slammed them shut again, the light piercing her eyes. She cracked them open slightly as they adjusted, studying her surroundings. She was laying on grass beside a riverbank. On her left was forest, ThunderClan-like territory. Ahead of her continued the river, the far side a swampy marsh. She stiffly got up and turned, looking across the river. A moor stretched across the other side of the river, a mountain rising up behind it in the distance. She got to her paws, thinking of what the founders had told her. Where is LostClan? she wondered, scenting the air. Her stomach growled, reminding her she hadn't eaten since... she didn't know when. She padded towards the forest, searching for prey.

Spottedleaf bit into her prey. She had caught a few mice, not bad for a medicine cat, and brought them to a fallen tree. Earlier, when she had been searching for prey, she had came across the tree. It was hollow, perfect shelter, and she had brought moss into it and made a nest. She glanced up at the rapidly setting sun and padded into the hollow tree, curling up in her nest. She closed her eyes, thoughts of prophecies dancing through her head.

Voices woke Spottedleaf. Two cats were looking around her clearing. Then a black head poked around the entrance to her den. "Hey! Who are you?" he demanded, glaring at him. A light brown she-cat stepped around behind him and looked into the tree as well.

"I'm Spottedleaf," Spottedleaf responded. Are they from LostClan? She cautiously got up, crouching in her nest.

"Are you new here?" the she-cat asked, looking at Spottedleaf.

"Yes," Spottedleaf said. "Are you from LostClan?"

"That's what Cloudclaw called it," the she-cat said. "I'm Willowwhisker, by the way. This is Ravenfeather." She flicked her tail towards the tom. Ravenfeather nudged Willowwhisker and muttered something in her ear. This earned him a glare from Willowwhisker.

"Do you want to join LostClan?" Willowwhisker asked. earning a shove and a glare from Ravenfeather. Then he muttered to her again. This time, Spottedleaf caught something about 'can't trust' and 'DarkClan'.

"Really?!" Spottedleaf asked, surprised this was so easy.

"No!" Ravenfeather said immediately.

"Yes!" Willowwhisker said at the same time. The two cats glared at each other.

"Yes, you can," Willowwhisker repeated, continuing to glare at Ravenfeather.
