I just can't find a place to belongShadowpaw's fight amoung thunderclan Dieing warriors last song
By: T.J.H.
Hush now
the owls passed
hush
The hawk's gone.
The great fires burned away
The great floods gone
Prey runs everywhere
Wake in the morning
To soar
Staclan waits
you won't be frogotten
Not in my eyes
Not for moons
Now
Close your eyes
Rest your head
There's peace at last
Good-bye
My
Love.
My friend.
-Joining starclan In these clans

Prolouge Death of the beloved 'The forest was just waking up when the small black she-cat and bold-shoulder ginger she-cat padded trough the under growth. They where quiet, not wanting to alert any of the prey that they where about the catch. The black she-cat's icy blue eyes where trained on the ground where each paw was going to be placed, The ginger she-cat seemed more into wacth out then on wacthing her paw-steps. Suddenly the she-cat paused and sented the air, her eyes streached wide in disbelieve. The black cat did the same, her nose wrinkled at the sent of badger. Side by Side the she-cats stalked foward, when they stopped they where looking out at a clearing where a massive badger sat. It didn't notice them, thankfully before the wind changed and carried there sent over to the massive creature. It's head swung to the sent as it looked back, it was out latter then a normal badger would be and thats when they noticed it's jaws where thick with white foam, from what? the cats stood frozen, as the badger stood and charged towards them "Run!" wailed the ginger she-cat pushing the black she-cat into action, they both took off for the woods. The badger crashing behind them "We need trees!" the black she-cat wailed as they lunged over rocks and bramble bushs. The ginger she-cat nudged the black cat towards a large oak that was hanging over the lake, she nodded and hurttled up the old tree into its curving branchs. The ginger she-cat right behind her, the badger fallowed there sent to the tree and growled deeply as it tryed climbing. The black she-cat shrank against the larger cats flank which was heaving "We have to tell Fallingstar" hissed the ginger she-cat, the black she-cat nodded "If we can ever get down from here!" her voice was sharp with fear and worry. The ginger she-cat's tail-tip stroked the black she-cats shoulder "Calm down Shadowpaw" she mewed "Where safe as long as the badger doisnt grow wings!" shadowpaw smiled weakly, her black fur stood on end. "B-But Honeypool! that things huge! it'll get up here in no time!" shadowpaw's voice rose a pitch with panick and fear. Honeypool purred amussed "It can't stay out all morning, and when it goes to sleep well get down and hurry back to thunderclan!" she sounded confadent, shadowpaw looked at her mentor and nodded "Okay" she mewed, she had learned that her mentor was uselly always right, but not this time.
When the badger growled, turned and disapered into the under-growth. The she-cats crept down the oak, there eyes wide, but both of them seemed to relax. Honeypool lead the way towards the bushs when the a loud smashing sound made them freze. The massive badger had fooled them into coming down the oak, his powerfull clawed-paw struck out faster then they could douged and nailed Shadowpaw on the chest, sending her flying helplessly back. Honeypool yowled a high-picthed battle-cry before lunging ontop of the beast, deffending herself and her apprentice. The badger growled and swiped again, his clawed paw landing heavily on honeypools head, breaking her neck. The ginger she-cat collapsed to the ground in a mass of gigner-fur, shadowpaw had gotten lucky. The claws grazed her chest, leaving three thick wounds that bleed feircly. She whimpred and heard the wail of an appoarching patrol...'

Chapter one
Untrainable
Shadowpaw was curled in her moss-bed when a yowl sounded from the clearing "May all cats old enough to catch there own pry, please gahter under highbranch for a clan meeting!" Fallingstar's voice, a meeting. Shadowpaw sighed and froced herself to her paws, she groomed her chest where three heavy scars now rested. When the small black-and-white head of Tinycloud poked in "Come on shadowpaw, apprentices" he mewed. The others stired around her, Redpaw mewed and greeting to mosspaw who purred something back, the way they where bonded toghter made her sick, she stood and hurried out into the clearing where fallingstar waited with brightsoul, his white fur and cream-strips reflected the morning light which some what blinded her. "Shadowpaw" the gentle voice of her crippled leader beckoned her foward, she stepped foward and smiled. After Honeypool had died she had almost four mentors walk away from her mentoring, she tought of this as a game and gussed how long Brightsoul would last before he turned tail and fled. She sat down next to him "Shadowpaw, you do not have a mentor" she mewed "Brightsoul will become your new mentor, learn from him" she warned, she always did this for her which kind of annoyed her. She flicked her ears in agreement and she reached up to touch noses with Brightsoul who looked brave and tough, she knew he wouldnt last that long. He could be the storngest and bravist warrior in the clan and she would break him some how, she always found away. She was once mentored by Ceathspot and broke him in less then three dawns, how hard could Brightsoul be? Brightsoul touched her nose as well and smirked "Hunting?" he sugested, Shadowpaw looked around and a lot of clan cats seemed to be glaring at her, she meet there glares with an even stare which seemed to make a lot of the warriors shrink back, as she let brightsoul lead her from camp. She bet a lot of the clan cats where hoping she wouldnt come back, after Honeypool died they tought she was the reason for her death. Honeypools brother Maplestrip wouldnt even look at her, the apprentice's hated her, as much as the elders and queens did. When she was younger and tryed to get them to like her, none of the clan cats would even look at her, when she got older she grew apart from the clan and became a solo-cat when she used to be one of the most socail. Brightsoul lead her along a path that he used for moons and she knew that by the sent, they where heading towards the oak where Honeypool was murdered by the badger that they found half a moon latter dead...
She blinked the fear and pain away and looked at her new mentor who was staring smuglly and she understood. He didnt take her here to mentor her, he took her here to tourture her with mermorys. Shadowpaw's back arched and she hissed fiercly "So, what a wonderful hunting ground!" her words where as sharp as thorns, Brightsoul smirked "Perfact place to begen are training" his white tail-tip flicked with comfert when she heard more paw-steps and russeling of leafs before Ceathspot, Pigeonfeather, Dirtwhisker, Maplestrip and Rabitflight appeared trough the bush's. She relized at the second that there might be a chance she would lose her life, her eyes narrowed into slites "Tratoir!" she spat, Maplestrip took it from there "Your the tratoir!" his ember eyes bright with hate and furry as his claws unseathed. Shadowpaw was ready for what ever they would trough at her, when she was attacked from behind by Brightsoul, she yowled a feirce-battle cry before she twisted free of the toms claws and was attacked by mapleclaw, she placed her front paws heavily on the ground and kicked with her back legs, sending him flying into the rush current just below the surface of the water. He was dragged away yowling. Rabitflight jumped in to save him as the others continued the attack. Shadowpaw slashed out with her fore-paw and cut open Dirtwhiskers nose and brought her back leg back and knocked Brightsoul in the chest, she was fighting to save her life and that was the greatest thing she couldnt afford to lose. When the warriors broke back for a moment and left an opening, she lunged and flew past the claws of her attackers, she bounded towards camp with Dirtwhisker and the others right behind her. When she spotted the steep-clifes of thunderclan's camp she barraled trough the entrence, the cats that where in the clearing paused and looked confused at her, her paws where rubbed raw and she had scraps and cuts from running trough brambles and thorns away from the cats. She appeared as if she was beening swept away in a current of water. Fallingstar limped towards her on three legs "What is the meaning of this!" her voice was full of rage at the small black she-cat "I-I was attacked!" she wailed and twisted around the face the patrol that was comeing in, the cats that had almost won, they looked wrose then she did with deeper wounds and bald pacths where she ripped fur out, there eyes rested on her, Fallingstar eye'd them "Is Shadowpaw telling the truth?" she asked and moments latter maplestrips appeared being draged limply by the back of his neck, she had won and they had lost "Y-yes" brightsoul stamered "B-By the biggest fox I have ever seen!" his fur was still fluffed out and eyes wide "Maplestrip fell in the lake and a current swept him away, there was nothing we could do" his lie sounded convincing, but shadowpaw new better to believe them. They where no better then rouges! "Shadowpaw ran before the battle even started" his voiced dipped into an agressive tow "She ran because she was scared!" sneered Dirtwhisker who's nose was dripping with blood, Tigerlily and the other medicine cats came out with healing herbs "That's a lie!" shadowpaw protested, her voice sharp and high. She hated when she was blamed for what other cats have done, her fur stood on end as she looked at fallingstar who shook her head disapointed, Shadowpaw gasped when she relized that her leader was takeing the sides of....Tratoirs!

Shadowpaw shook her head and hissed feircly, before she stormed off to the apprentice's den, where she forced her way past Ripplepaw who spat at her "Fox-dung!" Shadowpaw retorted and disapered into the calming apprentice's den where she flopped down on her stomach and glared angerly at the wall. She hated her clan! she wished every cat her would burn or die, no one here was like her and no one knew what it was like. She didn't want to face another mentoring day with Brightsoul, she had killed her first thunderclan cat... Maplestrip, she smiled demonicly to herself before she closed her eyes. She was tired from fight and run and more tired from her leader betraying her like that!. Instead of her dreamless state that she uselly is in, she woke with a start in a clearing heavy with mist and the creek of salt in the air.
'A flame-colored tom, A dark gray she-cat with yellow eyes and a blue she-cat with dark blue eyes. They all greeted her with a mew and the dip of a head "Welcome shadowpaw" the ginger tom started, she looked around at them and wondered where these cats came from and why they have thunderclan sent on them! "Who are you" she spat, her eyes narrowed into slites. The dark gray she-cat spat and laughed raspily and the ginger tom nodded "I am Firestar, once leader of thunderclan" he mewed and flicked his tail towards the others "This is Yellowfang, thunderclans old medicine cat" and the last cat dipped her head "I am bluestar" she mewed calmly "We have come to warn you of up coming danger for your clan" she mewed, Shadowpaw spat "What do I care about this clan? I havint been part of this clan since Honeypool was alive!" her voice took a feirce tone to it "For all I care, the clan can Die!" her voice echoed trough the clearing "Shadowpaw" came a fimalar voice and honeypool appeared with maplestrip at her side "Thats no way to talk about the clan that raised you" her voice was calm but annoyed, Maplestrip looked at her with remorse "I'm so sorry shadowpaw" he mewed "I didn't know the truth, and a rummer about you letting my sister die was just to much!" his voice was higher, shadowpaw hissed at him "Save your appologize! I don't want any, you screwed my life up, I hate everyone in this clan!" her eyes sparked, the old thunerclan cats shared long glances "B-" maplestripe was cut off by his sister "She has all right to be mad, but she couldn't possibly stay mad this long!" Honeypool's green eyes rested on shadowpaw who shook her head "I hold no loyaltys to this clan anymore" which suprised even firestar who protested "How can you even say that! Or even think that!" Shadowpaw sneered "The clan has done nothing to help me! they won't even look my in the face! you know how hard it is to try and frogive a clan that won't even let you near the elders!" her voice cracked "I've tryed hard my hole life! Fallingstar won't even take note of anything I say, for starclans sake! A badger could be right infront of her and she still wouldnt believe me!" Honeypool looked at her paws "W-Well shadowpaw" she mewed "I'm sorry for leading the way into danger" her voice shook. Shadowpaw laughed coldy "I trusted you the most! Can you believe I wanted to be like you, I'm glad I see now how fake you are!" shadowpaw has never said anything like this to any cat. Honeypool looked hurt and beat-up over this, she turned tail and feld back to starclan, Mapleclaw behind her. Firestar looked stunned at her "Shadowpaw that was uncalled for" he mewed, Shadowpaw shook her head "I have been meaning to tell her that since she died!" she spat "Since that is over, am I done here!?" her voice took on a new edge. Yellowfang shook her head "No" she mewed, her fur raiseing in anger and loathing towards the young she-cat who meet her gaze with icey blue fires in her eyes. "Listine!" she orderd. Shadowpaw shurged and yellowfang continued "Fire will burn, waters will rise, prey will die and many, afar will lose there lifes" she mewed. Shadowpaw shurged "Wacth the night for the owl, and the morning fun for the hawk" her voice echoed "Don't trust the one, which blood runs read or soul means good" Shadowpaw didnt care and that was not hard to tell "You must find the Dusk thats red before you find the morning thats bright" with that the she-cat nodded' Shadowpaw slowly came to, she woke with her head pounding and looked around the den. No apprentices, must have already gone out to train, she was one of the last apprentice's when she poked her head out to see the clan alive and in action, cats sat vigile for Mapleclaw, she spat under her breath and looked a fallingstar "Fallingstar" she mewed, she waisnt going to share her dream, she wanted to talk about her warrior cermony, she was ready. beening 17 moons already, she was the oldest apprentice in the den. Fallingstar stood and limped to her "Yes shadowpaw" her leaders eyes her hostile and she relized that fallingstar hated her just as bad "I was thinking about my warriors cermony?" she mewed, the leader stared at her for a long moment, she wondered if she was thinking of a way to say 'No you suck!'. Fallingstar shook her head "Warrior cermonys are for appprentice's that earn there names" she mewed, shadowpaw stared wide-eyed at her "Are you saying I havint tried hard!" shadowpaw let the venom into her words, her eyes burned with hate. Fallingstar nodded "You have not earned it, you ran from the last battle, what makes me think I should let you become a warrior?" shadowpaw yowled out-raged, the clan cats looked at her oddly "I HATE THIS CLAN!" she yowled so loud, the clearing fell silent as well as the singing birds and playful kits who paused and looked scared at her. Fallingstar took in a small gasp, shadowpaw continued "WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO! CUT MY LEGS OFF! KILL ALL THE MOUSE-BRAINED WARRIORS HERE!" this was it, shadowpaw had lost her temper and mind, fallingstar didnt get a chance to speak "THIS CLANS NOT WORTH IT! I'VE TRYED TO MAKE UP HONEYPOOLS DEATH! I'VE TRYED HARD TO GET AT LEAST ONE...FREAKING CAT TO LIKE ME!" her voice echoed. "NO! YOU TURN YOUR HEADS AWAY AND PRETEND THAT I DON'T BELONG HERE! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! IF ALL OF STARCLAN CAME DOWN HERE AND MADE ME LEADER, I WOULD RATHER DIE!! I WISH THAT BADGER KILLED ME INSTED OF HONEYPOOL, SO AT LEAST ALL OF YOU GET YOUR SICK WISHES!" her fangs where bared, Fallingstar spoke now "S-Shadowpaw I didn't know you felt that way" the leader stammered, but shadowpaw shook her head "No you wouldnt, now would you" she retorted and flicked her tail "Good-bye" she spat, before turning and heading for the camp entrence, Fallingstar yowled "Where are you going?" shadowpaw didnt even turn to look back "Somewhere I am wanted" those words echoed trough the clearing, to all the wide-eye'd cats. The stunned silence seemed to choke the clearing.

Chapter two
On my own, again
*Short chapters*
Shadowpaw ran down the same path she used, since honeypool was still around. She kept her head down, as she bounded towards a rock. She bunched her back legs and flew trough the air, landing heavily on her front paws, her back legs scrambled to push her fully up. The sun was already dipping in the sky and new the clans would soon gather around the islands, would her clan mention her disaperince? or would they be relieved and lie about her death? she didnt care, she panted catching her breath as she wondered about Thornpaw, they where almost friends and she knew he wouldnt really care if she was taken by a hawk! she looked at her paws that where working at the rough surface of the boulder, she wondered when or if she would ever see the clan again and new she most-likly would. Her planes where to stay at horse-place for a while before she would make any real ideas of a place to go, she turned her head to pawsteps and cought sight of the dark ginger tom, her fur prikled as she reconized Redpaw, he must have fallowed her sent! He stopped and looked at her stunned "Shadowpaw?" he mewed, then his eyes narrowed and he spat. She knew why, she was not part of the clan anymore and he must have heard from his mentor, shadowpaw leaped to her paws and blinked the suprise away from her eyes before she took the fighting stance, her claws unsteahed and lips drawn back in a snarl. The tom looked smuge "Worthless crow-food" he mewed "They should have killed you when they had a chance, in stead of letting a murderer live!" his voice held the sharp edge of bitterness, Shadowpaw growled deeply "I didn't do any of that!" she retorted. Redpaw growled a sicking laugh "What about Mapleclaw? Honeypool!" everyone knew he was close to Mapleclaw and Honeypool when he was younger, she was moons older then him and a way better fighter, but he had size and power over her. Shadowpaw spat, she began backing away. She didn't need a fight that could end up weaking her and or killing her... Redpaw yowled loudly before he lunged and landed inches from her nose, Shadowpaw growled and swiped out with her front paw and cut him on the nose, he wailed in pain and stood on his hind-legs to knock her away, but she douged under the attack and ranked her front claws down his soft underbelly. He gasped and tumbled back. The fight was in her favor, she was older and had more training them him, she leaped down and landed inches from his japing jaws. He sprang to life and reached out to cuff her behind the head, she rolled onto her back and was supprised when redpaw leaped ontop of her. They where rolling over eachother spitting and raking claws, shadowpaw had a good gripe on redpaw's back-leg as he fought to get her to let go. Another sound, she knew to well as the dusk-patorl. If they cought her there, they would frame her as a murderer and most-likly kill her. So she droped his leg, twisted around and bolted away before the patrol could join the fight.
By the time shadowpaw slowed down, she had left redpaw and the patrol behind and the light was fully fadded, she needed to find and spot where her sent could be hidden so she could rest. She limped around a fallen tree, Redpaw had left a minner cut on the inside of her leg. When she came to a small place, hidden under roots where she pushed her way trough and curled up to sleep. She was in a dreamless state, thinking about what she would do next and tought it would be better if she left at dawn and hunted on her way there, she then could trully rest. Another dream, this one was more frightening.
'Fire ragged along the thunderclan forest, water had rissen over riverclan's terrory, monsters howled in shadowclans and a large, swirling cloud ripped apart windclan. Cats fled, yowling for lost friends or kits. Shadowpaw wacthed this all from the oak-tree and wondered why she couldnt move, Honeypool and mapleclaw sat at the bottom of the tree, there tails curled around her paws and there eyes wacthing the fleeing cats. Mapleclaw looked up at her and smirked "Come down" he mewed, in a voice that scared her deeply, not llike the toms normal self. She relized they where showing her what would happen and noticed this was just a dream and she waisnt with starclan "B-But" she mewed, her eyes wide with fear and panic. Honeypool looked at her with cool eyes "You said you didnt care what happens to the clans" she pointed out cooly, it was true. Shadowpaw didnt care about the clans, but this was way to much! "I didnt want this to happen!" she wailed "Look at them! there so scared! this is nothing like I wanted!" her eyes where wide with fear. "Are you sure?" Honeypool mewed, her eyes gleamed. Shadowpaw tought for a moment and nodded "Fine" she mewed, Honeypool and mapleclaw nodded "Tomarrow" she mewed and let mapleclaw finnsh it "Four cats from the four clans are meeting at the islands, join them" he mewed, shadowpaw looked startled "Clans?" she mewed. Honeypool dipped her head and continued "You must join them, and travel over the moutines to find the Talon that never opens, and The wolf that will always sing" and with that, they nodded and fadded away'
Shadowpaw woke, startled and tired at the same time. She looked around the den, it was around dawn and she wondered how long the dream had really been and wondered if the cats of the diffrent clans would really be there... She sat up and shook her head before she groomed her pelt and hurried out of her make-shift den to find something to eat, she wondered if the dawn-patrol would come around here and that worried her, but that changed when she stalked along the trees in a hunters crouch. She stalked a squrrel and wondered if she could catch it by herself, when she was about a tail-length away she sprang and landed inches from the squrrels side, she lashed out and hooked the fresh-kill on the end of her claws and dragged it down. She rolled ontop of it, breaking it's neck before she crouched down and began to eat in hungry gulps, her ears listined for any signs of a patrol and when she heard none she returned to her feast. When she was full, she dug a hole and placed the bones and uneatten parts into the hole and burried them. She knew this was a shadowclan habite, but she tought it was beatiful and took up the habit, when the squrrel was gone she padded briskly back towards her den to rest before she went anywhere, the forest was always beatiful and she took her time along some rabit trails to enjoy the suns warmth, it had been warmer and the waters where starting to fade and drop more and more each day. When she reached the roots, she sat outside. Soaking the suns heat into her pitch-black pelt in the sun, enjoying herself. The fight from yesterday felt like a bad-dream from a few nights ago, she was in a dream-like state when she heard pawsteps and looked up startled at a pure black tom with a faint dapple of white on his chest, he looked just as startled as her and took a step back "I-If this is your den, I-I can leave" he mewed, his green eyes flashed. Shadowpaw relized he waisnt attacking and nodded "You can join me if you like?" she offered, the tom looked relived and tiredly and sank to his stomach, more pawsteps and another black-and-white tom and a dark-moleted brown she-cat with eyes like her's joined him. "What are you all doing here?" shadowpaw mewed, a questioning look came over her face, The she-cat answered before the toms could speak "We where just passing trough, we have just made it across the moutines and where really tired" she mewed, her eyes looked wryy which made shadowpaw notice how skinny they where "You want me to hunt for you?" she mewed, the black-and-white tom nodded "Please" he choaked, his voice was raspy and she wondered if they where sick. She stood to her paws and streached, the black tom stood as well "I'll help" he mewed, shadowpaw nodded and lead the tom towards shadowclans boarder, they slipped appart and began hunting. She wondered on which part of the cats had traveled over, she heard the clans had onced lived in a forest far away and where forced to move by twolegs. she wondered if he used to live there as well...

When both the cats where done hunting it was well past sun-high. They padded side by side to the root-den. The other cats where grooming eachothers fur looking nervese "Crow!" the she-cat leaped to her paws and noticed the prey, her eyes widden with hunger and suprise at how much they cought "T-Thats a lot of prey" she studdered. Shadowpaw smiled sweetly "Eat" she mewed "You look as if you need it" she commented, the she-cat dipped her head "You've helped use, so its only fair we share are names" she mewed and bowed her head "My name is Forest, this is my bother Raven and that is crow" she mewed and jerked her chine towards the black tom, who looked embarsed. Shadowpaw smiled at the names "My names Shadowpaw" she mewed "I was one of the clan cats" she mewed "But I'd much rather live alone, if you know what I mean" she mewed, Forst seemed confused "Clan?" her eyes where confused. Shadowpaw sighed and told all she knew about the clans and there clan life, Forst and the others listined as they ate there fills. "If your out of the clan" Raven mummbled trough a mouth full of mouse "You should leave that name of the clan behind" he mewed, Shadowpaw tought for a second and looked worried "I'm so used to Shadowpaw" she mewed. Forst agreed with her bother "I can give a new name" she offered, shadowpaw smiled "Alright" she mewed, she wondered if this would really make her feel any better, forst nodded "Then from here on out, you can be called shadow" her voice was storng, with the caring side to it. Shadow? what a great name for herself, she was just a shadow of her former self, nothing could change that.
~~~Windclan~~~
Ashpaw brought his fresh-kill into camp and was about the bring it to the pile when Skyshadow appoarched "Come and bring that prey over here and rest with that" she mewed, Ashpaw turned to her with his only good eye "No thanks" he mumbled and placed the prey at his paws, the queen looked angry "That waisnt a choice, that was an order" she mewed, ashpaw spat "I don't want to eat with the Queens, I want to eat with the other apprentice!" his voice was sharp with anger and hate, he hated himself! Why haddint he died in the fire instead of his mother and siblings? why hadint his mother let him die. The fire had already taken half of his face and more of his heart then any of the clan could imange! he hated when the elders and queens offered him to sleep in there den, she aways rejected there offers. He wanted to be normal! they always babied him, making sure he was feeling okay, seeing if he was tired and endding traing early and getting pulled away all the time by the medicine cats! the other apprentice's won't even play fight with him! they always think they will hurt him. Skyshadow looked angry and nodded towards the queens, Ashpaw sighed and picked the prey up and with his ears and tail down he fallowed her, Skyshadow was his mothers best-friend and he had already taken care of him for most of his life and he regretted being mean to her but he was annoyed with all the cats trying to take care of him!
~~~Riverclan~~~
Currentpaw was working with the elders, removing ticks and helping with there beding. He was hoping to earn a story so he could stop and listin to it. He loved working for the clan and was determind to become a warrior soon and new Leapingstar was about to call the cermony, he was 10 moons of age and attended the gathering last gathering and heard about shadowpaw, the beatiful she-cat he had a crush on was washed away by the river as well as mapleclaw. He hopped she was with starclan and happy there, he was going to ask her to be his mate at the gathering even tough he knew it would never work out, it was a love thing and he couldnt control that. "Good work" mewed shadepelt, his father. He turned to his father and mother with his younger siblings and wondered if they had wacthed him the hole time "Hello Father, mother" he mewed, Foxkit, the little redish-brown tom bounded to his bother, his green eyes wide "Can I help?" he mewled. Currentpaw mrrwed with laughter "Your only four moons old, you have to be six moons to help the elders, but I'm sure if you take them some prey, they give you a story" he was glad to see Foxkit bound over to tell his siblings and ask there mother who smiled and nodded. Snowkit, his calico bother with pale brown eyes which gave him the smart appearnce. He bowed his head to his older bother and was burshed agaisnt by Moonkit, the other calico sibling, a calm green-eye'd she-cat who whispered something in his ear and he nodded "Currentpaw" Snowpaw mewed, currentpaw smiled "Yes?" he mewed, Snowkit looked at his paws "I-I had a nightmare last night" he mewed, his ears layed down. Currentpaw's ears pircked "Really? what about?" he asked, Snowkit looked at his paws and looked horrfied "Water was growing, and riverclan cats where trapped!" he shook his small head, Currentpaw touched Snowkit's shoulders with his nose "I've had the same dream the other night!" he mewed, Snowkit looekd at him confused. Moonkit took over "Really?" she mewed, her voice was baffled. Currentpaw nodded. "Only t-there was Fishscale" he mewed, truthfully. Fishscale had been his mate before she was washed away by flood water. Snowkit mewled in terror, Currentpaw drew him closer to comfert him. Moonkit also came closer, she was fond of Fishscale as well and they where the two to stay up the hole night, morning for her loss. "C-Could it be just a nightmare?" Snowkit pleaded. Currentpaw licked his shoulders "I'm sure" he mewed and nodded to his mother to go on without them.
~~Shadowclan~~
Shiningfall had just finnshed his night wacth when he came out of his den, Rabitpaw his apprentice waited for him. He was glade to see her, he had an odd dream that night and needed someone to tell it to, she leaped to her paws and bounded to her "Shingingfall!" she purred and touched noses with her. Talonstar and egalepaw had already left camp which made him even more calm at there greeting, there was something specail about her that he couldnt find out what it was. He smiled "Where hunting today" he mewed, she nodded. He lead her out of camp, rabitpaw fell into step with the tom as they made there way along the forest to find a good place to hunt, He was sure she already new the boaders and didnt doubt her hunting skills ether. He started explaning the dream with Scarheart and the meeting the others where sapposed to attend as well. She listined and smirked at the end "Lets go!" she mewed, He looked stunned "We?" he mewed, she nodded and smirked "You didn't think i'd let you go by yourself?" she mewed, Shiningfall purred amused and nodded "Fine" he mewed "Just try not to attack anyone" he mewed, Rabitpaw looked offened "I would never!" she mewed, he looked amused and she looked at her paws and agreed.
~~~Thunderclan~~~
Ripplepaw rested outside the apprentice den, Bramblepaw beside her. They where sharing the news of the day and talking about nothing really. Bramblepaw looked at her and smiled "Glad to have shadowpaw gone?" he mewed, Ripplepaw looked stunned "Not really?" she mewed, Bramblepaw looked at her oddly "You can't tell me you liked her!" he mewed in a diffrent tone, higher with disguest. "I never said that!" ripplepaw retorted "She was just so... Alone all the time like she didnt want to be there" she mewed truthfully, she noticed but didnt make a move to become friends because she feared what the clan and bramblepaw would think. Bramblepaw noticed "My bother talked to her a few times, he told me she was very... Diffrent" he mewed. Ripplepaw nodded and knew why, shadowpaw was rejected after Honeypool was killed by a badger and the clan turned on her, when mapleclaw died the clan started wondering if she had murdered Honeypool and framed the badger of attacking her... Bramblepaw shivered "He told me there was something about her that seemed... Blood-thirsty almost" his eyes showed with fear. Ripplepaw had noticed that a lot but never mentioned it before, she hated herself for talking about her when she was gone and acting as if she was dead at the gathering only made it wrose, cats of the clans actully believed she was dead! she shivered and licked her paw, drawing it over her face to cover the pain up from Bramblepaw.
