Hi guys! Chapter 5 is out! Who wants to read it?

Echosong felt her body be picked up like a feather and felt herself be thrust along with the flood. She couldn't breathe! She floundered, trying to get to the light above her, but the water was just too strong. That's when she felt another presence, another cat, next to her.

Cloudstar! He's here to help me! thought Echosong

Cloudstar's strength bolstered her own, and she fought her way to the surface. To the air. She reached air with a splash. She gasped, gulping deep breathes of air.

"Stick! Cora!" she stammered weakly looking around. They were not in sight. "Got to save them!"

"Echosong! No!"Said Cloudstar who, like Echosong floating above the water.

But Echosong would not listen. Taking one last deep breath, she dived down. Stick was not far away, but there was going to be a swim to Cora. Both cats were floundering, desperately trying to get up to the air. Swimming down, she grabbed the scruff of Stick's neck, and pulled him upwards to the air. They came up with a splash.

"Cora…" Stick said weakly, before taking many gulps of air.

"I know I'm going to get her" said Echosong.

Taking another deep breath, Echosong dived down. Cora had only moved upwards by a few mouse tails. That's when Echosong remembered her dream.

The other floundering cat was being pulled up by a third cat. Those two cats had soon made it to the air, and the third cat was soon trying to reach Echosong. Surely, Echosong…. Hadn't seen Cora's death?

No…. thought Echosong I can't have seen Cora's death! I can't have! She thrust her body downward, trying to reach Cora. Already her own lungs were bursting, crying for air. Echosong ignored her lungs. Cora was still quite far away. She tried to keep going to Cora, but Cloudstar now blocked her way. Echosong attempted to go around him, but he still blocked her way. The expression in his eyes was easily readable. Go to the air, save yourself. You know what happens. No! thought Echosong and attempted to ram her way past him. Cloudstar gave her a shove upwards. Despair swept over Echosong. She knew she could do nothing, except save herself. Echosong desperately thrust her body upwards. Her head it air. Echosong took in many, many gulps of it.

"C-Cora?" stammered Stick hopefully, who was floating not far away.

"I'm sorry Stick, I tried, but I couldn't save her! I'm sorry!" sobbed Echosong

"Cora!" yelled Stick, diving in, to attempt to save Cora.

Echosong dived in after him, but she did not have to go far down this time. She grabbed the scruff of Stick's neck, just like she had before, and hauled him back up to the surface.

At the surface, after sucking in a few breaths, Stick got his scruff out of Echosong's mouth, and once again dived down. Once again, Echosong went after him, and using her paws this time, brought him back up to the surface.

"Stick - she's gone!" shouted Echosong "I tried, but I couldn't save her!"

"Cora!" yelled Stick he attempted to dive down, but Echosong was ready, and caught his scruff, and would not let go.

Holding her head up so that Stick could breathe, Echosong began to paddle. Even though the flood was slowing down, swimming in it was still less than easy. And Stick also weighed her down. That's when Echosong noticed a large log, being carried towards them. Echosong gathered up her strength, and released Stick, and hauled herself onto the log. Stick did the same. He then was just numb acceptance. Tears rolled down his cheeks, but all he did was just look at the log. Now, all Stick and Echosong could do was wait for the log to hit land.

Firestar tried to sleep but he could not. Whenever he closed his eyes, he was always seeing Sandstorm. He rolled over. He could still see Sandstorm. He squeezed his eyes shut. He could still see Sandstorm. He sighed and opened his eyes. Cinderpelt was at the entrance.

"Sorry, am I disturbing you?" asked Cinderpelt

"No, not at all," said Firestar, getting to his paws. "What can I do for you?"

"I went to have a drink of water, and when I saw my reflection, it was of another cat."

Firestar's ears pricked and eyes widened, as he remembered when he had seen a lion instead of his own reflection. "Go on." He said quietly

"The cat had a quite pale, sandy pelt that didn't change colour anywhere on the cat's body. The cat's eyes were green." Said Cinderpelt

"Pale…" murmured Firestar, his voice trailing off at the end. "Like Sandstorm?" he asked

Cinderpelt shook her head. "No, much more pale than Sandstorm's pelt."

"Do you think it was an omen?" asked Firestar

Cinderpelt sighed. "I honestly do not know."

"Well, the half-moon is, well, in a half moon," said Firestar with a little chuckle, "maybe you could ask them about it then?"

"I will," said Cinderpelt "In the meantime, I'll keep my eyes open for any other omens."

"I'll do the same," mewed Firestar

For a little while, Leafpool had some peaceful sleep. But that did not last.

"Brambleberry! hissed Leafpool. This time she had had enough. She never asked to have Starclan to continue talking to her. All she wanted was a nice, peaceful life with Crowfeather outside of the clans. Leafpool unsheathed her claws, hissed, and leapt at Brambleberry.

Brambleberry dived nimbly off to the side, but, while falling, brought her claws up and slashed Leafpool's cheek. Leafpool gave a yowl of pain and landed on her paws, hissing. Brambleberry meanwhile was up and ready for another round. Leafpool, once again sprang at Brambleberry. At the last possible moment, Brambleberry ducked, leaving Leafpool to overshoot her leap and land on her face.

"Are you really willing to continue?" asked Brambleberry "If you want, I can dish out more, but your kits might be harmed."

Leafpool let her fur lie flat, but continued to glare at Brambleberry. "WHY – DIDN'T – YOU – TELL – ME!?" she roared.

Brambleberry stood unfazed. Then she started to speak. "I wish you no harm, Leafpool!" she said "But there is danger in knowledge! We can't just distribute to any one, any time! How much happier were you before you knew?"

Leafpool paused. Yes, she had been much happier, but, she had a right to know if she was what was keeping that cat alive!

"Yes," said Leafpool slowly "I was happier. But, if there is a cat that is drawing on my strength, I should know."

"And you would know eventually! But Starclan would have debated it and have decided when the time was appropriate to tell you! But no, that fool Lionheart had to go off telling you!"

"Can you stop it?" snarled Leafpool.

"We're trying!"

"Then I'll go stop it myself." growled Leafpool, attempting to walk past Brambleberry. Brambleberry jumped and blocked Leafpool's way.

"Are you serious?" asked Brambleberry "Do you know how much being close to that cat could do to you?"

Leafpool stopped. "Fine."

"Leafpool, we are doing everything in our power to stop this cat."

"Even if Lionheart hadn't have told me, why delay?"

"There is danger in knowledge." Brambleberry said rather sharply "You control your own destiny. If I had told you, who knows what would happened?"

"Well, I handled it pretty well when Lionheart told me."

"What like running away from your den and mate without any warning?"

"That's a lot better than some of the other alternatives!"

"Such as?"

Leafpool's mind hit a blank. "Such as some of the other alternatives."

"Convincing," meowed Brambleberry.

"SHUT UP!" Yelled Leafpool. "This talk is leading nowhere productive! I am out!"

Brambleberry watched Leafpool fade away. She sighed. It wasn't easy for any cat these days, much less Leafpool, but she wasn't making it any easier.

"No….." whispered Brambleberry

Anyone see that coming? That Echosong saw Cora's death, not her own? And what has Brambleberry realised? Leafpool's kits might come in the next chapter, so if you have any last minute names, now is the time to send them in!
