Alright, the chapter. I'm too lazy to think up a riddle, and I might not do the riddle thing at all anymore. I'm just too lazy. Answer to the last riddle was 'shock'.

Hope the update didn't take too long, I was being too lazy.

Chapter two:

Sleepwalking

Rowanclaw watched Blackstar pad into his den. That battle wasn't fun. Rowanclaw had a torn claw, a scratched shoulder, and a very scratched-up side.

"Rowanclaw, were you listening? I said you should go get some rest, and be careful to put as little weight as possible on your injured side.

"Oh, yes, Littlecloud."

Someone shook Rowanclaw awake. he looked up and saw Blackstar. "Rowanclaw, I want you to stand guard at the RiverClan border tonight. I don't want to face a battle like that one earlier again."

Rowanclaw stared at him. "In the middle of the night? But Littlecloud told me to stay in my nest."

"Listen to your leader, or I'll scratch your already-scratched-up side!"

Rowanclaw bristled. "Alright, I'm going! Just no scratching." He got to his feet and padded out of the camp and to the RiverClan border. Well, that was strange.

"All, warriors, wake up!" said Blackstar.

Tigerheart groaned. He'd been having a wonderful dream where he and Dovewing had reunited. Oh well, it wasn't like that would ever actually happen.

"Alright, warriors, you are to sleep in the apprentices den tonight. Sleep on top of each other if you must."

Tigerheart groaned again. Blackstar had woken them just to move them to the apprentices den. Tigerheart, along with the rest of the warriors, moved there.

"Kits, you are to guard the camp entrance tonight. If Rowanclaw tries to get in, don't let him."

"Great!" The kits squealed. "Our first orders from Blackstar!" They went to the entrance and sat down.

Blackstar went to the elders, and woke them up

"What?" Snaketail said grouchily.

"All you elders are to go hunting immediately."

All the elders stared. "But… we're too old to do that anymore."

"Do it, or I'll make you do your own ticks!" Blackstar snarled.

"Okay, we'll go." The elders headed out of their den. "Well, that was strange." Then they saw the kits guarding the camp. "What are you all doing, young'uns?"

"We're guarding the camp, because Blackstar told us to!" They announced proudly.

The elders continued out to the forest. "That is also strange."

Blackstar yawned and stretched, dawn light filtering into his den.

He headed out to get some prey, and was surprised to see the warriors stumbling out of the apprentices den. "Hey! Why were you sleeping in the apprentices den?"

They stared at him. "Don't you know? You told us to!"

Blackstar stared at them in confusion. "I don't remember doing that." He spotted the kits, fallen asleep at the camp entrance. "Why are the kits at the camp entrance?"

"How are we supposed to know?"

At that moment, Littlecloud came out of the medicine den, yawning. "I think Blackstar was sleepwalking last night. Everyone, check all the dens."

The warriors dispersed to check the dens.

"The elders aren't in their den!"

"The queens are all here!"

"Where's Rowanclaw?"

"The fresh-kill pile is fuller than it was yesterday!"

Blackstar pieced these things together. "I must have sent Rowanclaw on a hunting patrol, with the elders all in it."

Suddenly, Rowanclaw stumbled through the camp entrance, almost walking on top of the kits.

"Rowanclaw! Where are the elders?"

Rowanclaw looked up. He looked exhausted. "In their den? If they're missing, I don't know. You sent me to guard the RiverClan border in the middle of the night."

"I did? Okay, everyone go look for the eld-" Before he could finish talking, the elders came into camp carrying fresh-kill.

"Why did Blackstar have to send us on a hunting patrol?"

"I'm sore."

"I'm sure that I'll die if I do that again."

They stopped by the fresh-kill pile, set down their prey, and turned to Blackstar. "Yes, Blackstar, why did you send us on a hunting patrol? And why did you make the kits guard the camp entrance?"

"He was sleepwalking," said Littlecloud.

"Oh. Well, we elders are not going to listen to Blackstar if he gives us orders in the middle of the night, thank you very much. We're going to bed."

"Me too," Rowanclaw yawned.

I'm absolutely sure that that chapter was boring. Sorry.

I'm up for suggestions for what to as the next chapter. I'm out of ideas. Make sure any ideas are random, but I don't want them acting like twolegs or playing with twoleg things.
