Thank you for all the reviews! I was in a huge rush to post this chapter so I cannot reply directly to your reviews, sorry. This chapter is Acaciapaw's POV and Violetpetal's POV.

Here's a nice long chapter for ya guys!

*Throws cookies to all my reviewers*

Acaciapaw's POV

Acaciapaw sat in the empty apprentices' den in camp. She stared blankly at the wall with a sightless blue gaze.

"Why don't you eat something?" Falconstar padded in and asked. He dropped a thrush at her paws and nosed it towards his daughter.

Acaciapaw stared at the freshkill in horror. Thrush was the last meal she had eaten with Darkpaw just before he had disappeared.

Acaciapaw shook her head sharply and closed her eyes. The smell of the thrush reminded her of Darkpaw's scent; windblown with a hint of mint.

Her insides turned raw.

It's okay little one. You can go on, don't dwell on the past, Hollyleaf murmured kindly.

Acaciapaw's eyes snapped open fueled with anger and instant hatred at the thought of letting Darkpaw's memory go. "Never!" she shouted aloud. "I won't ever forget him! How could you even suggest something like that!" she roared in anger.

Something inside of her seemed to cringe at the sound of her sharp tone. This isn't like me, something inside her thought.

Acaciapaw sunk her claws into the dirt. But the past is the past. I'm not going to be the soft-heart kittypet who curls up in a den for the rest of her life crying. I will avenge him. I will, she thought.

"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join beneath the Rockpile for a Clan meeting!" Falconstar's clear voice rang out.

Acaciapaw growled inwardly and bounded out of the den over to the Rockpile. Lightningpaw and Lunarpaw sat close to each other smiling widely up at Falconstar. What's going on? Do they know?

Once the rest of the SkyClan cats gathered Falconstar spoke again, "Lunarpaw, Lightningpaw, and Acaciapaw please step forward."

None of the Clan seemed shocked or surprised at these words. Most had probably agreed that the apprentices had deserved it after all they had been through. Lunarpaw and Lightningpaw had taken turns sharing the whole story with the Clan.

"I, Falconstar, leader of SkyClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on these three apprentices. They have trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend them to you as warriors in their turn," Falconstar's voice boomed around the clearing.

"Acaciapaw, Lightningpaw, Lunarpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your Clans, even at the cost of your lives?" he asked.

Lunarpaw smiled and nodded, "I do."

"I do. I promise to be the best warrior for WindClan," Lightningpaw declared.

All the Clans' eyes shifted to Acaciapaw. "I do," the wiry white she-cat murmured.

"Then by the powers of StarClan I give you your warrior names: Lunarpaw, from this moment you will be known as Lunarwing. StarClan honors your loyalty and your determination, and we welcome you as a full warrior of SkyClan." Falconstar moved forward and rested his muzzle briefly on his daughter's bowed head. Lunarwing licked his shoulder in respect and padded over to sit by her former mentor, Riverstorm.

"Lightningpaw, from this moment you will be known as Lightningstreak. StarClan honors your patience and your strength, and we welcome you as a full warrior of WindClan," Falconstar repeated and rested his muzzle on Lightningstreak's head. Lightningstreak licked his shoulder in respect and padded over to Lunarwing to sit next to her.

Too bad WindClan isn't here. Poor Lightningstreak, he became a warrior with his brother or sister by his side, or his Clanmates to cheer him on, Acaciapaw thought.

"Acaciapaw, from this moment you will be known as Acaciablossom. StarClan honors your bravery and selflessness, and we welcome you as a full warrior of SkyClan." Acaciablossom's face showed shock. She stiffly licked Falconstar on the shoulder then wheeled around and padded over to the other warriors.

I'm not selfless; Acaciablossom thought miserably, I'm just the opposite. I want Darkpaw back; he never got the chance to be a warrior.

"Soon it will be moonhigh," Falconstar meowed. "In tradition of our ancestors, Acaciablossom, Lunarwing, and Lightningstreak must sit in silent vigil until dawn, and guard the camp alone while we sleep."

The three new warriors nodded in understanding.

After Nightfall . . .

Acaciablossom narrowed her eyes against the darkness and glanced around camp.

Two lonely shadows moved at the edge of camp. Acaciablossom jumped and shivered. She hadn't detected any strange scents so she let it go.

There is nowhere safe now is there? Acaciablossom sighed and stared at her paws.

Violetpetal's POV

Did she see us? Violetpetal wondered.

She and Mintleaf padded silently over the cliff edge and into the woods towards the Twoleg Place.

After seeing the return of Acaciablossom and Lunarwing she had become firm on her decision to go to the Twoleg Place. Mintleaf had stubbornly come along claiming that Violetpetal would need someone to speak.

The two cats tore across the grass as they neared the fence.

Violetpetal looked questioningly at Mintleaf who huffed, "I can make it over."

Violetpetal sheepishly looked towards the fence and leaped up into the air, digging her claws in the wood she pulled herself over.

The medicine cat apprentice landed on the ground softly and turned to see Mintleaf descending a short ways behind her.

"Let go," the elder murmured.

Violetpetal followed her and cocked her head slightly. "I know a friend here. Maybe she could help us?" Mintleaf suggested and Violetpetal nodded in agreement.

"This way, my friend lives close by," Mintleaf mewed, flicking her tail.

Violetpetal followed her friend down the twisting, confusing alleys of the Twoleg Place.

"Up there," Mintleaf hissed in a low voice. "We have to be quiet, the Twolegs should be asleep and we don't want them to wake up."

Violetpetal nodded.

Mintleaf bunched her muscles and landed gracefully on the fence top. Violetpetal couldn't help but be impressed. Mintleaf had been an elder for as long as Violetpetal could remember.

Scrambling up onto the fence Violetpetal cast Mintleaf an unsure glance.

The elder didn't seem to notice she just stared down into the Twoleg yard. "There's a dog here now," she breathed.

Violetpetal glanced around confused. Mintleaf narrowed her eyes at the ground, "Mud prints. Too big for a cat."

"Nettle! It's me, Mintleaf!" Mintleaf called out in a loud whisper.

A spiky-furred ginger tom creeped into the moonlight from the shelter of the porch.

He hesitated then dashed out and leaped onto the fence next to Mintleaf. He looked spooked and nervous, "Mintleaf? It's been forever! I thought you forgot about me," he murmured.

Mintleaf touched noses with him, "I'm sorry. I know it's been long and it's short notice but I need some information. About rogues."

Nettle's eyes grew wide and he looked around fearfully at the mention of rogues. "Keep your voices down! There's a dog here now," he hissed then glanced around nervously. "What about the rogues?"

"A huge group of them moved to the bottom of the gorge where SkyClan lives. Do you recall anything about them?" Mintleaf inquired.

The spiky-furred tom looked around swiftly as if he was being watched. He spoke in a very low voice, "I can't exactly talk about those cats, but I can help you. Casually walk two Twoleg nests down and looked under the porch of the blue Twoleg nest. Look for a gray-and-white she-cat called Frost. She can help you."

With that Nettle scampered back to his nest.

Mintleaf casually glanced around and bite her lip. "Something's off. We better get to that cat, Frost, as fast as we can."

Violetpetal nodded in agreement and followed Mintleaf down towards the blue Twoleg nest.

Mintleaf jumped down into the yard softly and pricked her ears. "All quiet," she murmured and Violetpetal joined her a second later at the bottom.

Violetpetal led the way to the porch and scrambled under it. "Hello?" Mintleaf whispered.

"Who are you?" a gentle but firm voice called back.

Mintleaf's green eyes flashed, "I'm Mintleaf and this is my Clanmate, Violetpetal. My friend told me to ask you for help. We want to know about the rogues that moved to SkyClan's gorge."

A pair of sharp blue eyes glowed in the darkness. "Those rogues are cats of destruction. They don't take no for an answer."
