Chapter 2
"I definitely think she has lost it" Cloudpaw muttered under his breath. Fireheart and Princess looked at their mother in confusion. Graystripe voiced what was on everyone's minds.
"What are you talking about? There are only four Clans in the forest and none of them are called SkyClan" Graystripe yowled. Fireheart saw his mother give Graystripe a sharp look that was laced with venom.
"Of course you wouldn't know it, but you're the reason SkyClan is no longer a part of the forest." She spat angrily, causing Graystripe to flatten his ears to his skull. Fireheart padded over to his friend and fixed his mother with another bewildered look.
"But how can Graystripe be responsible for SkyClan no longer being a part of the forest? And if SkyClan is was a real Clan then how come none of the other Clans have ever mentioned them?" Fireheart asked her gently. Fireheart saw his mother give him a gentle look.
"For me to explain that I must start from the beginning." She meowed softly, padding over to the boulder she had been sunning on, beckoning with her tail for them to follow her. She leaped onto the boulder moving over to make enough room for the other four to lie on.
"I'm sure you've heard the story of Thunder, Shadow, Wind, and River right?" she meowed looking at Graystripe. He nodded slowly. "What you probably haven't heard was a bout the fifth leader Sky who was involved in the creation of the clan's as well, SkyClan's territory use to rest where we lay this very day." Fireheart, Cloudpaw and Princess stared at her in shock, while Graystripe still remained skeptical, but chose not to voice his opinion.
"What happen to SkyClan then?" Princess asked softly with a look of curiosity. Her mother looked at her gently.
"Many seasons ago, the last SkyClan leader to rule here on this land was a cat named Cloudstar, he was said to have pale gray fur with patches of white like the clouds above us and blue eyes as bright as the morning sky." Just then Fireheart mind went back to his dream of Spottedleaf and the mysterious gray and white cat. 'Could that have been Cloudstar? If so, what did he want with me and why was he with Spottedleaf?'He brushed the thoughts away to listen more intently to his mother's story.
"During Cloudstar's reign, twolegs began to destroy SkyClan's territory and…"
"Create the twolegplace." Cloudpaw finished, Princess gave her son a disapproving look
"You shouldn't interrupt someone when their talking." She mewled sternly. She heard her mother mrrow with laughter.
"It doesn't bother me Princess and yes Cloudpaw the twolegplace was the reason for the destruction."
"So what happened then?" asked Cloudpaw
"Cloudstar did all he could to keep SkyClan where they were, he even went as far as to try and win territory from ThunderClan, sadly because the Clan wasn't able to catch enough prey to sustain itself properly at the time, so they didn't have the strength to fight for it. In his last effort to keep the Clan in the forest, he asked the other leader's if they would be willing to share their lands so that SkyClan could have territory to live in."
"But they refused." Fireheart meowed solemnly; he was beginning to see why his mother was acting so hostilely to Graystripe.
"Yes, they refused, his mate, Birdflight had kits too small to travel and as a result, she had to stay behind, fortunately ThunderClan took her and her kits in before SkyClan left the forest behind."
"That is terrible, what became of them?" Princess meowed sadly.
"They found a new home, in a new forest and live there now to this very day." Graystripe decided now to speak up.
"If all of this is true then why are you just telling Fireheart and Princess all of this now?" Princess' eyes widened suddenly.
"Maplefall" she breathed softly. Fireheart's eyes widened understandingly.
"She did tell us." He meowed softly looking at his mother. "When we were kits she told us stories of a wild cat named Maplefall who lived in a gorge with other wild cats that lived together with rules that they live by."
"Your, Maplefall aren't you mother?" Princess asked softly. The she-cat purred softly giving a warm look at her kits.
"Yes I am" she purred softly. "The stories I told you both back then were about my life in SkyClan."
"Then what happened? Why are you here instead of there? Why are we here instead of there?" Cloudpaw asked in confusion.
"I was captured by twolegs who took me from my Clan and brought me to this horrible twoleg nest were cats were forced to become kittypets or they would never see the sun again." Maplefall growled low in her throat. Princess' eyes widen and she yowled in horror.
"That can't be true Maplefall." She wailed in despair. Maplefall nodded solemnly.
"I'm afraid it is my dear sparrow." She meowed softly. Princess pressed her pelt against Cloudpaw's and gently licked his ears as she her eyes became clouded over. Fireheart briefly wondered if she was thinking of her other kits and where they were. That thought brought him back to the original reason they had come to see Maplefall.
"Maplefall, Princess said that you knew a queen who recently had a kit, is that true?" he asked, giving Graystripe a quick glance.
"Yes I do know a cat, her name is Raincloud, and she is a SkyClan warrior as well. She was captured awhile after I was. She has recently lost her mate and has been raising her single kit alone. Why do you ask?" she meowed curiously. Fireheart quickly explained Graystripe's kits had been left behind and how they were in danger of being harmed by Tigerstar. Maplefall listen carefully as Fireheart also explained his suspicions of Tigerstar and how he believed that Tigerstar was the one responsible for Bluestar's death. After hearing all of this she took a moment to look at Graystripe and saw how worried he looked for is kits.
"Are they very young?" she asked after a moment.
"Yes they are, they still need milk, and it's the only reason we didn't take them with us when we left." Fireheart meowed gently.
"I see, you wish to retrieve the kits from ThunderClan and have Raincloud look after them?"
"Only until they no longer need milk, then I could look after them myself." Graystripe meowed hopefully.
"You won't need to look after them yourself." Maplefall meowed gently. "Come, we will go to her garden and ask her if she would be willing to take care of them."Maplefall rose from where she was resting on the boulder and darted off toward the fence line. The others quickly followed her leaping onto the fence and following her through another maze of twoleg nests.
They soon arrived at another fairly large twoleg nest, with a semi big garden. As they jumped off the fence and into the garden, a large ginger cat leaped out from behind a bush with his claws unsheathed, and back arched. Fireheart, Graystripe and Cloudpaw instinctively formed a protective line between Maplefall, Princess and the strange ginger tom and growled threateningly. Maplefall nudged her way between Fireheart and Graystripe padding up to the other tom and giving a gentle greeting.
"Hello Jake, how are you?" she meowed gently. The tom now known as Jake sheathed his claws, but still watched the other cats with a sharp eye.
"I'm well Nutmeg, these cats you have brought with you, who are they?" meowed Jake. Mapletail beckoned her kits closer to her with her tail so that Jake could get a better look of them.
"You must recognize these two, though they were little kits the last time you saw them." She meowed gently with a hint of wistfulness. Jake looked closer at the Fireheart and Princess, his eyes widened suddenly in realization.
"Rusty? Princess?" he meowed gently, padding closer to the two. Princess pressed her pelt against Fireheart's looking from her mother to the large ginger tom. Fireheart's eyes narrowed a little looking at the tom carefully.
"Who are you? How do you know our names?" Fireheart asked curiously, glancing at Princess seeing the same look confusion in her eyes that he was so certain was reflected in his own stare. Jake purred softly.
"What sort of father would I be, if I didn't recognize my own kits?"
"You're their father?" Cloudpaw asked, with a look of surprise. Jake looked the young white apprentice over and nodded.
"I am, but who are the two of you?" Jake meowed with a suspicious look. Princess wrapped her tail around Cloudpaw.
"This is my son, Cloudpaw and this is Graystripe a ThunderClan warrior. They trained beside Fireheart as warriors in ThunderClan." Princess meowed gently.
"Fireheart?" Jake asked in confusion.
"My warrior name I received in ThunderClan." Fireheart meowed, Jake blinked slowly and nodded in understanding.
"How did you end up as a warrior in ThunderClan?" Jake asked. Maplefall stepped forward touching her tail gently to Jake's shoulder.
"Later Jake, we are here to speak with Raincloud." Jake gave her a strange look. "We need to ask her if she would be willing to nurse some kits that are in danger." When Maplefall mentioned kits, Jake began to lead them to the cat-flap of the twoleg nest. Jake pushed his way into the nest, with Maplefall and Princess followed right behind him. Cloudpaw hesitated a moment then followed his mother in to the twoleg nest. Fireheart and Graystripe stopped just outside the nest.
"Is it safe to go in?" Graystripe asked quietly looking uneasily at the cat-flap. Fireheart could smell Graystripe's fear scent and touched his tail to his friend's shoulder comfortingly.
"Let's imagine it's Barley's barn, it will make it easier." Fireheart meowed reassuringly, though he himself was nervous about entering an unfamiliar twoleg nest. He led Graystripe to the cat-flap and carefully pushed his way into the nest. Graystripe hesitated a moment longer before following Fireheart into the twoleg's nest. Fireheart looked around recognizing, from his life as a kittypet, that he was in a kitchen, he recognized the faint scent of the dry pellets that he remembered eating as a kit. He felt Graystripe shivering next to him as his friend pressed his pelt closer to him. Graystripe's fear scent was stronger than it had been outside the nest.
"Fireheart, Graystripe over here." Princess meowed from around a corner. Fireheart and Graystripe followed Princess further into the twoleg nest, till they reached a basket that was full a sheets and pillows that faced away from a large window. Inside the basket lay a pretty silver tabby with long feathery legs and tail. The she-cat watched them approach with curious bright blue eyes; as she wrapped her tail tighter around the little silver bundle of fur that was nuzzled against her body. She narrowed her eyes at the newcomers.
"Nutmeg, who are these cats?" she hissed quietly,
"Why does everyone call you Nutmeg?" Cloudpaw meowed in confusion. Maplefall purred a little brushing her tail over Cloudpaw's ears.
"That's the name my twolegs gave me, it's my kittypet name." Maplefall meowed. Princess nodded.
"Yes, remember Fireheart's name was Rusty before he joined ThunderClan." Princess meowed softly.
"You haven't answered my question Nutmeg." Raincloud meowed, getting Maplefall's attention.
"My kits and their friends need your help." Maplefall meowed gently, beckoning Fireheart closer so he could speak to Raincloud. Fireheart quickly explained to Raincloud all that had happened during their time at ThunderClan.
"We came to ask if you could nurse Graystripe's kits, they are in danger in ThunderClan, I don't trust Tigerstar not to hurt them." He meowed softly. Raincloud watched him carefully, and began to consider all that had been said, Graystripe padded forward and look pleadingly into her eyes.
"Please, they're all I have left of Silverstream, and I couldn't bear to lose them." Graystripe meowed softly. Raincloud her eyes and when she opened them there was a glimmer of sadness that filled her gaze.
"I know what it's like to lose your mate and having to raise your kits alone and the warrior code states that all kits should be protected." She meowed softly. "I will nurse these kits if you can bring them to me."Fireheart blinked gratefully at her and Graystripe looked like he was ready to yowl to the sky in happiness.
"Thank you, I promise to look after you and your kit as well as my own."Graystripe meowed happily. Raincloud nodded gently purring softly as she licked her kit's ears.
"So what happens afterward?" Jake meowed suddenly. Everyone looked questioningly at him.
"What do you mean?" Fireheart asked watching his father closely. Jake turned to face Fireheart.
"You've all been banished from ThunderClan. Will you join a different clan or become kittypets or rogues?" he asked curiously. Fireheart looked at Graystripe and Cloudpaw; they hadn't thought that far ahead so they didn't think about what they would do to after they rescued Graystripe's kits. Maplefall spoke up suddenly.
"We will go to SkyClan." Maplefall meowed firmly. Every cat looked at her in surprise. "We all should go together."
"But Willowkit isn't big enough to travel that distance." Raincloud mewled worriedly.
"And my kits aren't big enough to travel that far either." Graystripe added giving Maplefall his own look of worry. Maplefall gave them both gentle looks before responding.
"We won't leave for a long while; the kits will need to get use to each other and Raincloud first." Soothed Maplefall, "Besides we'll have to carry them most of the way anyway." Jake lowered his ears to his skull and faced away from her.
"I can't go." He meowed solemnly. Maplefall padded over to him to touch his ears with her tail gently.
"Yes you can, you were Sunblaze, SkyClan's mightiest warrior, before you were brought to this twolegplace and you can be again." She meowed gently. Fireheart, Graystripe and Cloudpaw looked on in surprise.
"You were a SkyClan warrior too?" Cloudpaw stared in surprise.
"Yes I was, and I was also one of the first cats to disappear." Jake meowed "I've been a kittypet so long I don't think that I can be a warrior again."
"We'll need everyone, if we are going to make it back to our birth Clan, with those three kits." Maplefall meowed determinately.
"You don't even know the way back to the gorge; it could take seasons for us to find it again." Jake argued. Maplefall turned and jumped onto the windowsill and stared longingly out of the window. The sky was beginning to turn a rusty color as the sun grew closer to sinking below the trees as she looked out the window.
"Since I became a kittypet; I've had dreams of our birth clan and the gorge, when our kits were born those dreams got stronger and I believe these dreams will lead us back to SkyClan." She meowed firmly. Fireheart felt that he could understand his mother's talk of the dreams she had, remembering that his own dreams had led him to ThunderClan.
"You're not a medicine cat, how can you even trust these dreams?" Jake countered. Maplefall turned around to give Jake a long hard look before answering.
"I just know, if you had the dreams too maybe you would understand." She meowed softly. Fireheart leaped up beside his mother on the sill and turned to face everyone.
"I trust Maplefall, I think these dreams of hers will lead us to SkyClan, I think she-s right when she says we should find our way back to them." He meowed determinately, thinking of the dream he had had the night before. He was certain that this was the journey that Spottedleaf was telling him about. Cloudpaw leaped up beside him.
"I think so too, and we should go back to them, we shouldn't be stuffing our faces full with kittypet food we should be patrolling and hunting in our territory."Cloudpaw meowed firmly. Fireheart noticed that Princess seemed a bit hurt by Cloudpaw's words but he also saw Princess give him a look of pride. Jake seemed to be reconsidering, and Raincloud looked excited though Fireheart could still see a little a bit of worry in her gaze for her precious kit that was squirming against her belly. The only one who didn't seem so thrilled about the idea was Graystripe. He could tell that his friend wasn't sure he wanted to take his kits on this journey. Fireheart was shaken from his thoughts by his mother's voice.
"We can discuss all of this later; we still need to gather Graystripe's kits from ThunderClan and then we can decide what to do from there." Maplefall meowed, "Fireheart, when do you and Graystipe plan to get the kits?"
"We should go as soon as possible." Graystripe meowed with a hint of urgency.
"Then let's go now." Cloudpaw meowed, leaping down from the window sill and began to head back the way they had come, when Fireheart called out for him.
"Wait Cloudpaw it's already dusk, by the time we reach camp it will be too dark to safely travel with the kits." He meowed quickly to his nephew. Cloudpaw sat down looking agitated. Princess looked at them both with a confused expression.
"Can't you just steal them" asked Princess.
"No, that's too dangerous especially if we're caught." Fireheart answered. "We'll have to go early tomorrow and wait for a patrol to see us." Graystripe stared anxiously at him.
"I don't think we should wait that long, we should get them now Fireheart." Maplefall stepped forward and touched her tail to Graystripe's shoulder.
"This queen you left them with, is she nice to your kits?" Maplefall asked gently. Graystripe blinked at her a moment then nodded.
"Then you need not worry." She meowed soothingly. "She will not let harm come to them, Fireheart is right by saying you should wait till tomorrow, a lot can happen under the cover of darkness." Graystripe listened closely to her words and after a moment of hesitation nodded gently excepting the decision.
"Okay, but we go for them first thing tomorrow?"Graystripe meowed looking over at Fireheart. Fireheart nodded quickly in agreement.
"I'll be the first to sink my teeth who denies us those kits." Cloudpaw growled.
"Wait Cloudpaw, only I and Graystripe will get the kits." Fireheart meowed. Cloudpaw looked at him in confusion.
"Why can't I go?" he asked glaring at Fireheart. Fireheart sighed and jumped down to sit beside Graystripe.
"There are only two kits so only two of us need to get them." Fireheart meowed carefully. "Also this could be dangerous; you should be here to look after Raincloud and her kit for the journey to SkyClan." Cloudpaw looked like he was going to protest at first, but then he began to nod reluctantly. Princess padded up to Fireheart and gave him a brisk lick on the ear.
"Be careful Fireheart, you, Graystripe and those kits come back safely" she murmured gently.
"Graystripe, you and Fireheart can stay in the garden of my nest tonight, we'll leave for the kits just before dawn." Maplefall meowed. "If it all goes well, then hopefully the kits will be back here by sunhigh."
"I'll keep my ears open for you three." Raincloud meowed gently from her place within her basket.
"Cloudpaw will stay with me tonight." Princess meowed, gently grooming her son's thick fur. Cloudpaw seemed a little annoyed but didn't protest.
"Are you both ready then?" asked Maplefall leaping from the sill to stand in front of the two warriors.
"Yes we're ready." Graystripe answered looking very determined. Maplefall nodded
"Very well then I will lead you back to the forest, so you may collect the kits, as I said hopefully we can get them before sunhigh, it would be better if the kits were back here before dusk." She meowed briskly already heading toward the cat-flap that would lead them into the garden. The two former ThunderClan warriors charged after her.
It was long after dusk when they reached Maplefall's garden. Maplefall lead them around allowing them to find a good spot to settle down for the night. They decided to settle beneath the roots, of the large oak, that formed a small cave.
"As I'm sure you know, there is some prey running around here, if you get hungry feel free to catch some." She meowed softly. "I will wake you both before dawn and lead you back to the forest." And with that said she was gone leaving the two to their own thoughts.
"Are you hungry?" Fireheart asked Graystripe, watching his friend closely. Just then, Graystripe's stomach grumbled announcing the gray warrior's hunger. Fireheart purred in amusement before nudging his friend toward a bush in the garden. "Let's see what we can catch here."
A few plump mice later, the two warriors were in their den trying to make themselves comfortable enough to sleep that night.
"Do you think they're okay?" Graystripe meowed quietly.
"Yes, Goldenflower is a very nurturing cat, she won't let anyone harm them, if she had to she'd give them to RiverClan." Fireheart meowed comfortingly. His words seemed to be enough to help his friend get the peace he needed to finally get some sleep. Fireheart curled up in his nest pressing his pelt against Graystripe's and falling into a restless sleep.
Fireheart woke to the sound of his mother's voice calling from outside their den.
"Fireheart, Graystripe it's time to go." She meowed loudly into the den. Graystripe was on his paws and pushing his way out of the den in an instant. Fireheart stretched out of his nest and pushed his way out of the entrance to the den. He found Graystripe gulping down a plump mouse, Maplefall pushed another plump mouse next to his paws.
"You'll both need your strength today, we don't know what will happen, so you'need to be ready for anything," she meowed gently. Fireheart nodded and quickly snapped up the mouse savoring the delicious taste as he licked his lips. When they were finished Maplefall began to lead them back to the forest.
Maplefall lead them quickly through the twolegplace, before long they were sitting on a fence staring into the forest.
"Do you wish for me to go with you? Or would you rather I wait here?" Maplefall asked calmly.
"Graystripe and I should go alone. It will be easier for us to get them if we don't have to explain who you are to them." Fireheart meowed. Maplefall nodded in understanding.
"Very well, you both should go now then, I will wait for you to return." Fireheart and Graystripe leaped off the fence and ran into the forest. Fireheart felt happy to be back in the forest even though he knew it was temporary.
They started racing directly toward ThunderClan camp, suddenly Fireheart veered away from the path they were going and raced toward RiverClan territory. Graystripe stopped and stared bewilderedly after Fireheart, then raced after the fiery warrior. Only when they reached the bank of the river did Fireheart slow down. Graystripe gave Fireheart a strange look.
"I know we got kicked out of ThunderClan this morning, but I didn't think you would forget the where the camp is already." Graystripe panted slightly.
"I haven't forgotten where the camp is I just think that we shouldn't let Tigerstar know where we are staying," Fireheart meowed quietly.
"What do you mean?" Graystripe asked.
"I don't want him looking for us, if he thinks we are in RiverClan; then he won't feel the need to look for us." Graystripe still looked confused,
"Why would he look for us?"
"I think him banishing us is just an excuse for a reason for him to kill the both of us." Graystripe stared at him a long time blinking slowly as he answered.
"But, why would he want to kill us?"
"Ravenpaw, there is a chance he could have seen him on his trip to Highstones and realized that we were lying about him being dead. Remember Redtail wasn't killed by Oakheart, and Ravenpaw always believed that it was Tigerstar who killed him. I believe Ravenpaw and I think Tigerstar killed Bluestar and he knows that we both know this or at least he thinks I know about it and since we're friends he'd expect me to confide in you." meowed Fireheart. "I just hope Ravenpaw's okay."
"I see where you're going with this; Tigerstar would kill me even if I didn't know anything just to be sure I wouldn't tell what I know." Graystripe murmured, he sighed worriedly. "I hope the kits are all right."Fireheart sighed sadly and could only nod. He turned to look at the river and carefully padded into the running water getting his fur soaked.
"Come on we should make this look convincing." Fireheart meowed making sure the water didn't get into his mouth. Graystripe followed the fiery warrior into the water getting his fur nice and wet, climbing back onto the bank with Fireheart climbing out right behind them. Graystripe shook as much water from his pelt that he could. The two banished warriors sat side by side on the edge of the RiverClan border, waiting patiently to see if a ThunderClan patrol would appear.
It was a little after dawn when a patrol was first sighted. The two stiffened as they tried to make out the cats approaching in the distance. Before long FIreheart could make out the dusky brown pelt of Mousefur, the golden brown pelt of her apprentice, Thornpaw, a few steps behind them Fireheart saw the pale ginger pelt of Sandstorm and the unfamiliar pelt of another cat. It took Fireheart a moment before he recognized the pale gray cat with darker flecks that padded beside Sandstorm, it was Fernkit one of Bindleface's two surviving kits, though now Fireheart figured that her name had changed to Fernpaw and that she had become Sandstorm's apprentice. Suddenly Fernpaw let out a warning yowl and the three other cats in the patrol raced toward where the two were waiting.
When the patrol reached them, the hostile looks that had been on their faces had vanished but confusion had taken its place. Mousefur looked between the two before staring directly at Fireheart.
"What are the two of you doing here?" Mousefur asked with a slight edge in her voice. Sandstorm looked questioningly at Fireheart, but he completely ignored her in favor of answering Mousefur.
"We have come to take the kits." Fireheart meowed. Mousefur's look turned a little hostile.
"What kits?" Thornpaw growled a little. Graystripe gave the apprentice a vicious look. Fireheart gently touched his tail to Graystripe's shoulder.
"Graystripe's kits, they don't belong in ThunderClan, they belong with him." Fireheart meowed sternly.
"How will you care for them? Neither of you can give them milk; do you plan to starve them?" Mousefur hissed sharply.
"We've already found someone to care for them; we only need to bring them to her." Fireheart meowed calmly though he was beginning to feel nervous, Mousefur stared at him a moment longer, then looked closely at Graystripe. She murmured something to Sandstorm who nodded and raced off toward the camp. Graystripe started forward but Mousefur hissed at him warningly.
"You will wait here, if TIgerstar sends for you then you will be escorted back to camp." Mousefur meowed formally. Fireheart was shocked by the change in his clanmates after his banishment and the two of them had only been banished the day before. Now he truly began to worry for the kits.
It was getting closer to sunhigh when FIreheart saw two familiar pale ginger pelts padding toward them. Fireheart recognized the first cat as Sandstorm, and the she-cat the padded beside her was Goldenflower. Graystripe mewled happily beside him, and Fireheart saw that the two were carrying Graystripe's kits in their Jaws. Fireheart peered through the trees, tasting the air to make sure that there weren't any other cats hiding in the shadows. Mousefur looked at the two she-cats in surprise.
"Why did you bring those kits here?" she asked. Goldenfower gently placed the kit on the ground in front of her paws before answering.
"Tigerstar told us to give them up, he doesn't want them in ThunderClan anymore." She meowed; the other ThuderClan cats seemed surprised by this but none of them tried to stop the two she-cats from giving Fireheart and Graystripe the kits. Goldenflower placed the tiny she-cat she had carried in front of Fireheart's paws. As Fireheart bent down to pick her up Goldenflower murmured in his ear.
"I can't explain why, but please meet me at fourtrees two nights before the gathering." She whispered very quietly to Fireheart. He said nothing but gave her a discreet nod to show he understood. She blinked gratefully at him and turned to head back to camp. Fireheart turned his head and saw that Graystripe with his jaws full of his son.
"Okay you've got your kits now leave our territory, and the next time you won't leave unscathed."Mousefur hissed, coaxing the patrol follow her back to ThunderClan. Fireheart glanced at Graystripe and started leading him toward the stepping stones that would take them safely to RiverClan territory. Graystripe gave him a questioning look but then nodded in understanding when he could see some of the ThunderClan patrol watching them. As Fireheart climbed onto the stepping stone, the patrol had fully vanished and Fireheart carefully climbed back onto the ThunderClan side.
"Let's head back to the twolegplace." Fireheart meowed carefully to Graystripe. As they carried the two small precious bundles in their mouths, Fireheart thought about what Goldenflower had asked him. 'I wonder why she wants to meet us there.' Fireheart had a feeling of unease and began to pick up his pace. 'I just hope I won't regret meeting her.' With that thought finished, he and Graystripe moved a little faster putting the as much distance between them and the RiverClan-ThunderClan border.
~Yeah sorry I haven't updated this in a while I was just trying to figure out how to get the story to a certain point that I have planned in the future. This isn't that great of a chapter mainly because I'm nowhere near the point I want to be at yet for this story, but then again it's only the second chapter let me know what you think.~
