You must read Night Whispers or you will not understand this chapter! Well, you might, but you will get a major spoiler!

Dovepaw walked slowly to the island that would soon be her home, leaving ThunderClan behind.

"Ivypaw?" She whispered to her sister.

"What?"

"Do you think this is going to work? Being one Clan? The warrior code –"

"It's going to be fine. StarClan told us to become one Clan. Although having four mentors on our tails is probably going to make us run for the tribe." Ivypaw purred.

Dovepaw tried to find her sister's calmness, but she couldn't. Something was nagging at her, like they were doing something wrong. Like this wasn't what StarClan meant.

Crossing the tree bridge, she walked to what was now the apprentice's den. It was the roots of an oak tree, large and warm. But it's not the same! She wanted to yowl in frustration. She was only a bit angry about the Clans merging. But she was even angrier that she was upset at all! All around her were unrecognizable cats. From ShadowClan, from WindClan, from RiverClan. Where were the ThunderClan cats? Suddenly, the cats began circling her, hissing threats and taunts.

"Tree climber!"

"Bee brain!"

"Fox heart!"

"Leave me alone!" She yelled

A cat slashed her muzzle.

"Wake up!"

"What? She called, spinning around. "Who said that!"

"Wake up!" Another slash on her shoulder.

"Wake up!"

Dovepaw awoke, sitting bolt upright. She inspected her shoulder and muzzle. She dreamt they were being slashed, but the cat next to her probably was pawing at her to get up.

"Are you OK? You were moving a round a lot in you sleep and talking," The cat said gently.

"Yeah, I'm…I'm fine. Just a bad dream," She replied.

"Ok…I'm Stealthpaw, by the way. I'm from ShadowClan."

"I'm Dovepaw. I'm from ThunderClan."

Realization hit the cat – Stealthpaw – when she spoke.

"You're Dovepaw! You sister has been looking for you all day."

"All day…But I fell asleep last night…"

"Nope. You got to the island and headed strait for the medicine cat's den with a belly ache. Jayfeather must have given you a paw full of poppy seeds!" Stealthpaw purred at his joke.

"Oh. Now I remember," The grey apprentice said thoughtfully.

"Well, Lionblaze is with Cinderheart, planning you're training probably—"

"No, Lionblaze is my mentor."

"So is Cinderheart. She's going to teach you how to swim and fish. The leaders are having all the mentors teach each other, and then teach the apprentices. But I guess Lionblaze and Cinderheart are teaching you and Ivypaw at the same time, since you're sisters.

"Well, Jayfeather and Littlecloud won't let either of us leave most likely," he nodded to the cobwebs on his shoulder, "so we might as well get to know each other. What's you favorite game?"

"You probably don't know it. It's a game you play in underbrush in winter. Ivypaw and I made it up."

"How do you play?"

"Well, one cat has to hide somewhere. In underbrush, in snow, anything. The other cat has to find them. But the cat hiding has to hunt as well. It helped us learn to be quiet hunters," Dovepaw explained.

"Hopefully it helped you learn how to be quiet apprentices. Now hush and go to sleep! It's already dark! Do you need poppy seeds?" Jayfeather meowed from his nest.

The apprentices shook their heads. Realizing their mistake they meowed, "No thank you."

"Good. Then sleep!"

"Dovepaw, it's just like running. There, you've got it!" Cinderheart called from the island shore.

Since sunrise they had been practicing swimming. Lionblaze was there as well, keeping a distance from Cinderheart, oddly. They normally yakked the entire session.

"Dovepaw, wait! That's too far!" Cinderheart suddenly yowled. Sure enough, the current began sweeping her away.

"Help! Cinderheart, Lionblaze, help me!" Her paw flared as she sucked in water. Her head dipped, panic exploding from her. A wave tugged her down farther, knocking what was left of Dovepaw's breath out of her lungs.

She felt a cat grab her tail. "Stop panicking! Start swimming!" The cat mumbled. It was Cinderheart.

The more Dovepaw tried the farther down the waves pulled her. Darkness swirled and her eyes shut, finally feeling calm.

No yelling at me in the comments! I'm not done yet!

Cinderheart dragged herself and Dovepaw ashore. Kestrelflight, who'd witnessed the whole ordeal, took Dovepaw to the medicine cat's den. Lionblaze rushed to Cinderheart, licking her fur dry. She hissed softly, pulling away. "I'm not a kit!"

Crestfallen, the golden warrior meowed, "Sorry..."

Cinderheart didn't respond, and walked away.

The only battle he can't win; the battle of the heart.

I'm re-writing LakeClan, One Clan. I don't think any of you agree with me, but it's something I want to do, and clearing something I AM doing.

I just hated how it was going. I do not regret my decision. You wouldn't understand what I mean until you're in that position that you just HATE what you're doing. You all think this is an amazing story, but if you read what I CAN do, when I'm not rushed, you'd understand. Do not bother ready chapter 2; I need to re-write it. Since you all complain about me re-writing in general! I might as well; either way, no "new" chapter for a while.
