Yay, Chapter 2! Sorry about yesterday! Darn Computer!!!
Anyway, I have a new poll on my profile page. Of course, I already know the answer! (Laughs evilly)
Blazingfire of IceClan; Yay, my first fan.
Thank you to: xxxLeafxCrowxxx, Horseangel101, Laughing Rain, -x-River-x- and Blazingfire of IceClan for being my first updaters!
Here is Chapter 2! 2 POV's for this chapter. Crowfeather starts the chapter, then Leafpool takes over when something happens……
Plans
It was getting quite cold at nights, even with newleaf on the way. We were going to settle down for the night, but there was no shelter, no nothing. Just open moorland. How could it get any worse? I could hear Leafpool beside me shivering and we huddled sharing our non-existent body heat.
"Come on, there has to be some place to spend the night…" Leafpool groaned out of tiredness, hunger and slight impatience.
"Not far now, love. Just keep clooooooooooooooooooossssssseeee….
I fell down, down, down the rocky surface, every so often I'd hit an overhanging branch fully in the face. It was too dark to see anything much, so I couldn't tell whether I'd hit the bottom or not. It reminded me of the time when Squirrelflight had fallen down into what was then just a small…quarry is it? She was lucky not to be hurt….it must have….THUD!

"Crowfeather!"
I ran down the surface as quickly as my little legs and the dim light could permit me. Then, just as I thought I had reached the bottom of the cliff, I tripped over something bluey-grey and very furry. He was lying motionless upon the rocky terrain around us. He can't be dead, oh StarClan have mercy on him, I thought miserably. Then just as I thought about 'StarClan', some unrecognisable voice sprouted somewhere from….I didn't know. It was saying, Remember, you aren't a Clan medicine cat anymore. I whimpered. Maybe StarClan had abandoned us, just like we had abandoned them. I felt sick, like I had eaten a whole supply of yarrow leaves.
"Oh, Crowfeather, please wake up. You can't die….", I broke down and I wailed and I wailed. But then –
"Quit your wailing and help me up!" came a muffled reply, half-in-pain, half-amused
"You're alive!" I felt like screaming to the highest mountain.
"Well, DUH!" He replied softly.
I covered him in licks, so relieved that I hadn't lost him so early on our journey. We just sat there for a moment, taking a well-earned breather. With the sun coming up gradually from the top of the cliff, the light showed that we were in some sort of empty gorge. There were a few thicket bushes and some empty caves. This looked like a Clan camp, I realised with wonder.
"Hey, doesn't this look like some sort of Clan camp to you, Crowfeather?"
"Yeah, a little…" he looked like he knew exactly where this was going.
"Maybe this is a sign from StarClan that we should start our own Clan…." I jumped up and down like an excited kit.
"But we need cats for a Clan, Leafpool," Crowfeather said, mock crushingly.
"Surely there has to be some cats round here?" I hoped.
"Well, I'm not sure. We have been travelling for a moon and we haven't seen any cats since…"
"Well, let's get some sleep and we'll see in the morning."
We walked over into a small crack behind a large rock which resembled the Great Rock back in the old forest. There was enough space for two cats to sleep inside, as we curled and went to sleep.

"Shhhh, they're waking up," came one voice at the back.
"Leafpool?" a very familiar voice asked. Who was it though….I blinked open my eyes to see none other than……
"SQUIRREFLIGHT!"#
Well that is Chapter 2. Maybe I'll upload again today, considering that this chapter was supposed to be put up yesterday. Remember Read and Review!
