Chapter 1
"I guess you can use my den, and we'll use Flame's. Sound good, Night?", Wind asked him. "Okay. Just so you know, the kid's cute.", Night said. "Her name is Star!", Wind exclaimed. "Oh, okay, well I didn't really know yours anyway, so can you really blame me?", Night meowed. "I guess, by the way, I'm Wind.", she said back. "Nice to meet you, Wind. And, just to be clear about your whole family here, so, Flame's your mate, and Star's your daughter?", Night asked, just to be sure. "Yes, that's correct. Now it's getting late, you tired?", Wind asked him. "A little bit.", Night said. "Okay, fair enough. We'll go to bed in the leader den.", Wind said back. "Goodnight, Night.", Flame said. "Goodnight, Flame.", Night meowed back to his sort-of new friend. Flame, Wind, and Star go into the den and start to sleep. "Goodnight, Wind, you too, Star.", Flame said. "Night, Dad. Night, Mom.", Star said back. They all slept. Star sneaked out though. She watched Night, but just saw him sleeping. She sighed in relief. "Maybe Dad and Mom were right, maybe he is changing after all.", she said. But her parents heard, and as she was turning back, she saw Flame and Wind towering over her a bit. "What are you doing up so late, Star?", Wind asked her. "I was watching Night, to make sure he wouldn't betray us! I was going back!", Star said, defending herself. Night heard their conversation, and they all noticed him walking up to them. "So she really thought I was going to betray you?", Night asked. "Huh, I guess I do deserve that after all I've done. And you know what? I'm fine with it, I deserve the doubt.", Night said. "Star! You made him a bit upset!", Wind said. "Let's just go to bed.", Wind said. So they all went to bed.

Chapter 2
During midnight, Star still thinks that Night will betray them. So she wakes up, Night is still asleep. She hears footsteps behind her, so she quickly turns around and bites the cat's leg. It turns out that it was Flame, her father. "Ow!", Flame exclaimed. "Oh! Dad, I-I'm sorry!", Star said. "It's fine, except for the fact that you sneaked out again!", Flame said. "Star, you need rest.", he said. "You're lucky your mother isn't here.", he meowed. "Um, Dad...she is here.", Star said. "Again? She sneaked out again?", Wind asked. "Yeah, apparently.", Flame said back. "Star, back in the den. I know you think Night will betray us, but he hasn't done anything yet. So let's go back to bed and save this for the morning.", Wind said to her daughter. "Okay, Mom, you're right...", Wind said as she went back to the den with her mother and father. In the morning, Star woke up and saw how bright it was. She went to go see if Night was still sleeping, but she saw that he wasn't there. She ran back to the den. "Mommy, Daddy, Night isn't here anymore!", she exclaimed. "Mommy, Daddy, wake up!", she said again. "Okay, okay, we're up. Wait, did you just say that Night isn't in the den anymore?", Flame asked his daughter. "Yeah!", Star said. "He's probably out hunting getting breakfast.", Flame said. Just then, Night came by. "Oh, hey, guys! I was just hunting and getting me some breakfast. I figured you guys would be hungry too, so I got some mice for everyone.", Night said, holding seven mice. "How do I know this mouse isn't poisoned?", Star asked suspiciously. "Star, just eat it!", Flame said, eating his two mice. Night ate his two, and Wind ate her two. Star slowly took a bite, and realized that it isn't poisoned. She eats the rest. "Oh, I'm...sorry I doubted you, Night.", Star said.

Chapter 3
Early in the morning, when the stars are still out, Flame goes outside with his daughter. "Star, legend states that if you look at the stars and speak to them in your mind, the legendary star cats will speak back, and tell you prophecies, and give you advice. I think your mother named you after them.", Flame said to her. "Wow, that's amazing! Let me try.", Star said. She heard the words "Beware, for the night is eternal. Only fire can save your family." in her mind. "Huh?", she asked. "Dad, it said something like that the night is eternal and that only fire can save us!", she exclaimed. "They always speak in riddles, but this one I don't know what it means.", Flame said. They went back to their den to wake up Wind. "Mommy! Mommy! Wake up!", Star said. "What is it, Star?", Wind asked her. "The star cats spoke to me! They said that the night is eternal! And that only fire can save our family!", Star said. "But that makes no sense! How could fire save us? Wouldn't it burn us?", Wind said, confused. Night came by, hearing all the commotion. "Wait...night is eternal you said, Star?", Wind asked. "Yeah. And that only fire can save us.", Star said back to her mother. "That must mean that Night will betray us, and that only Flame can save us!", Wind exclaimed.

Chapter 4
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hold on there!", Night said. "Why should we?", Star said, still with her small, adorable voice. "Because that's not what they meant.", Night meowed back to the little kitten. "Then what did they mean?", Star's father, Flame, asked him. "They meant that this night will go on forever...as long as I'm alive.", Night said, sadly. "No, Night, you can't be serious! This is all just a joke, right?", Flame asked him. "No, now do it, kill me.", Night said to Flame. "Yes! Do it, Dad!", Star said happily. "Star, just stop.", Flame said. "Sorry, Dad.", Star said sadly. "All right, I have no choice. It's too cold out here, and all the prey is asleep.", Flame said. He walked up to Night and lifted a paw, he then let out his claws and looked away, he then put the paw right to his head. Night closed his eyes and ducked down, but then opened his eyes and lifted his head back up. "Huh? Why didn't you...?", Night asked, confused. "I can't. Star, you do it.", Flame said. "Okay, Dad.", Star meowed back. She scratched him up, causing him to bleed enough for him to start to die. "Well...I guess...this is the end of me. If you can somehow...revive me...the night won't be eternal anymore. Goodbye...at least maybe...for now.", Night said slowly. "Wind, do you know any herbs or something that can revive him?", Flame asked worryingly. "Yes. One, and luckily they only come out at night. The sun will rise soon though, so we have to hurry.", Wind said. The family runs, using their cat speed to get to the nearby herbs. They pick some up and see some colors in the horizon, so they rush to Night with the herbs. "The sun is starting to rise, hurry!", Wind said. They rub the herbs on Night, just before the sun rises. When the sun rises, Night wakes up, with no injuries.

Chapter 5
"Night, are you okay?", Flame asked him. "Y-yeah...I-I'm fine.", he meowed back to Flame. Night stood up very slowly. "Whoa! Take it easy, Night.", Flame said. "Yeah...I kind of got the message.", Night said as he clumsily stood. "Okay, you need rest, Night.", Flame said. "Yeah, what my Dad said, even though I still don't trust you as much. I guess I trust you enough to make sure you're okay.", Star finally admitted, still having her cute voice. "Star...you really did care.", Wind, Star's mother, said, a bit shocked. "Okay, let's get you to your den.", Wind said. They walked with him to his den, Wind's former den, who now lives in the leader den with her mate, Flame, the clan's leader, and then Night laid down. Star sat down next to him, and her parents stepped to a different area of the den and started whispering to each other. "Flame, are you sure he's okay?", Wind asked him. "I'm not sure, I'd think you would, because you know more about this stuff than me.", Flame meowed back to his mate. "I can't really tell if he's just exhausted or he's still injured.", Wind said. "Then I guess we'll just make sure he's safe, just to be sure.", Flame said. They walked back to Star. "Is he going to be okay, Mom?", Star asked her mother. "Not sure. Your father and I just talked about it.", Wind meowed back. "Okay, well, I know it feels weird to say this, but I hope he's going to be all right.", Star said.

Chapter 6
"I do too, Star. I really do.", Flame said. "All of us do, Flame.", Wind said. "Relax, guys. I'm fine. We used to be enemies anyway.", Night said. "We don't know that.", Flame meowed back. "Yes, you do. I'm fine!", Night said. "No, you aren't.", Flame said. "I know how much you like to fight. So let's have a battle right now, to prove that I'm fine!", Night said. "Very well. If it's a spar you want, fine.", Flame said. They both slid back, jumped up, and engaged in aerial combat. "Dad! Be careful! You know how tough he is!", Star said worryingly for her father. "I will. I'm an expert fighter, and he's exhausted.", Flame said. Flame slashed towards Night, but Night kicked him back, and to the ground, then jumped down. "What?", Flame asked. "I told you, I'm fine!", Night said. "We'll see about that, Night!", Flame meowed. "Yeah, we will.", Night said as he jumped at Flame, only to be deflected. "No way! Maybe I am exhausted. There's just no way that could happen.", Night said. Flame jumps at Night, but he dodges. "Heh.", Night said. "I guess you are fine.", Flame said. "There we go.", Night said back.
