Hollyflame: Thanks Holly! The special cat, no one will know, except the person who gave me the idea… but maybe they didn't get the hint :D

Icecloud447: I can't wait either… I mean, I can't wait to see what you guys think of the names
Agent-Arizona: Thank you so much Agent! Thanks for the help! I'll be sure to try to not make those again! Are you a part of WillowClan, LawlClan, or TacoClan?
Blazingstar: I love Jay too! But I suck at his POV's, except when he is sarcastic… Cuz I am quite sarcastic in real life, I annoy my family a lot too, so I guess I'm part Jayfeather
Hollyflame: Thanks Holly again! I love your reviews, and here is the next part
Spottedivy: So not looking forward to Dove x Bumble haters *shivers* LOL
Suntalon: You updated? Must go check! :) I really LOVE your stories too
TinaFrostDahMuffinburger: Yay Tina!
TinaFrostDahMuffinburger: I know! No main cats ever get sick, did you ever see Hollyleaf, Jayfeather, Lionblaze, Ivypool, Dovewing get sick? I'm not going to say Firestar, cuz he does get sick in one of the series… When I'm reading Erins books, I am a Cinder/Lion supporter 100%
But when I write my fanfics, this swerves to a 50% Ice/Lion and a 50% Cinder/Lion
Brambletail88: Even more Bumble supporters, thank StarClan! Ivypool was all over Toadstep in one of those books, Blossomfall had a crush on him… What is so handsome about a plain black and white tom? No offence Toadstep
AelitaOfTheWolves: Of course! Can you find any for Jayfeather?
mossfire16: I read it and reviewed it! I enjoyed it!
Super Ninja Whiskers: Glad you enjoyed it… I can't believe I'm getting so many reviews! Everyone is lookin' forward to the special POV, I've already wrote it… You'll immediately guess who it is! And there'll be some ?/? between it!
Ivypool slept and dreamt of the same thing she had last night… Hollyleaf was standing in front of her, her black fur rustling in the cool night breeze. She meowed the exact same thing she had said the night before. "There will be four… love, hate, happiness, sadness... Not even StarClan will be able to protect them from what comes"
"StarClan keep telling me… but what does it mean?" Ivypool asked the recently deceased she cat, worry in her dark blue eyes. "I don't know-" Hollyleaf's ears flattened. "All Firestar, Bluestar, Yellowfang and I know is that it involves four cats," she replied, whiskers trembling.
"Could it... could it be me?" she asked, her eyes stretching wide with excitement. "Maybe, maybe not... it could be any cat in any clan," Hollyleaf sadly remarked, glancing around warily. "I hear someone," it sounded like she knew who this someone was. "I need to go," she swished her bushy black tail in farewell and bounded into the ferns.
Ivypool's hope faded away like rain on a Greenleaf morning. "Oh..."
Ivypool got to her paws slowly and stretched. "Urgh," she mumbled, her paws hurting slightly from a border patrol she had led a few days before, there was no warm fur beside her, so she looked. Dovewing and Bumblestripe's nest were empty.
She was proud that her sister had found a mate, and might even have kits any day now… "They would be cute," she commented, half to herself. She imagined cute little grey kittens tumbling around the nursery, the thought made her go all soft inside. Cute.
You're so proud of your sister… but really, are you proud of you? I'm jealous of her, I know that much, she's was in a prophecy, and I'm not! Aren't I capable of it? She has a mate... and unfortunately, I don't. An arguing voice broke out in her head. You want a mate? She shook her head. I'm not sure what I want anymore. A voice broke her thoughts and she spun around.
"Ivypool! Squirrelflight needs you for a hunting patrol!" it was Millie's determined mew Ivypool leapt out of her den and rushed towards the silver tabby, she had a cut down her side, and she noticed a claw wrench and two torn ears… Ouch. "Who else is coming?" she asked, trying not to look at the scars "Hm, Squirrelflight said I could choose, but who do you think?" the former kittypet meowed kindly.
"Um, how about Foxl-" she started, but Millie interrupted her. "He started coughing yesterday," she informed Ivypool.
"Hm, Rosepetal!" she suggested. "Great choice!" Millie purred, and headed to the warrior's den to fetch Rosepetal. Ivypool lashed her tail once, she felt like relaxing on this fine, cool Leafbare's morning.
The dark cream she-cat leapt out of the den, excitement in her eyes as she spoke. "Okay! Let's go, we'll make sure those WindClan cats aren't invading!"
She walked alongside Rosepetal, who had insisted on bringing the apprentices, Cherrypaw and Molepaw, who were nearly old enough to be warriors. The two young cats were chirping and chattering like blackbirds. "I heard Rosepetal has a crush on Foxleap!" Cherrypaw whispered, and Ivypool overheard them.
"Well I heard that Foxleap has a crush on Rosepetal!" Molepaw grunted and he sniffed the air. "What was that?" Rosepetal's angry green eyes shone with annoyance. "Nothing!" Cherrypaw and Molepaw hurriedly spoke and Ivypool found it hard not to purr.
The two young cats slinked off to the back of the group and she guessed they were ashamed of themselves. She took the lead as they reached the border. "Cherrypaw, Molepaw, you can mark the borders," she ordered.
"But I want to look for WindClan cats, not mark the smelly border!" Molepaw complained, unsheathing his claws into the dirt. She didn't back down, and held her gaze until he rolled his eyes and followed his sister up stream.
Millie looked at Ivypool, a small bit of amusement in her wide blue eyes. "Apprentices, they show no respect," Cherrypaw had pricked her ears and she called out. "I heard that!"
"Yeah," Ivypool agreed. She glanced uphill, there were no signs of WindClan cats so far.
Rosepetal let out a warning yowl and Ivypool looked ahead. There were four cats racing down the hill, their claws sheathed, no sign of aggression. The battle has brought the clans together she realized.
"Greetings, how's hunting in WindClan?" Ivypool asked them. Cherrypaw and Molepaw let out hisses and Millie shushed them with a lash of her tail. "Hey Ivypool!" a small black apprentice replied cheerfully.
"Morning Larkpaw," Ivypool purred, the black apprentice was a new member of the Darkforest when the battle began, she chose the clans over the Darkforest. "My warrior assessment is today at sunhigh! I'm so excited, I hope Ashfoot lets me pass!"
Cherrypaw walked alongside the stream. "Hey Larkpaw!" she chirped, Molepaw letting himself be deliberately louder. "Hey Molepaw and Cherrypaw! How's your training going?" the black she-cat asked curiously.
Before the brown-and-cream tom could reply, his mentor butted in. "He needs to show more respect to warriors, his fighting moves are coming along perfectly, though he's a mess at hunting,"
Larkpaw stifled a purr of laughter and Molepaw arrogantly turned away. "Like she said," Cherrypaw snickered and Molepaw hissed angrily. Crowfeather coughed. "Shouldn't we be marking the borders?" he pointed out.
Sunstrike, another cat who trained in the Darkforest, rested her tail on his shoulder. "Relax Crowfeather, it's alright... we have nothing to quarrel about, we might as well chat for a bit,"
"We can't have friends in other clans!" Heathertail pointed out, a knowing glint in her eyes and Ivypool got slightly suspicious. "I bet you're friends with other clan cats, like Lionblaze..." she had seen how closely the WindClan cat looked at her sister's former mentor.
Heathertail shuffled her paws, and emotions shone in her eyes, like minnows in a stream. "Yes... I guess so," she murmured quietly, backing away and giving up the argument.
"Did you finish the border?" she suddenly remembered her orders to the two apprentices. "Yes Ivypool!" Cherrypaw spoke loudly and clearly, while Molepaw looked at his paws. "Yes Ivypool," he grumbled.
Rosepetal shook her head. "Cherrypaw, Molepaw, go hunting, meet me at the training hollow, we'll do some battle practice," even Molepaw's eyes lit up at the thought of battle training and the two apprentices scampered off. "Bye Larkpaw!" Molepaw farewelled the black she-cat and she raised her tail in farewell to him too.
Ivypool followed Rosepetal and Millie through the forest, it seemed quieter with the apprentices gone. "Well, Rosepetal, is Cloudtail going with you?"
"Yeah, he is still mentoring Cherrypaw while Foxleap is sick, I don't know how he does it, apprentice, new kits, and his warrior duties," the dark cream she cat smiled, twitching her tail-tip with confusion.
Millie broke in. "It's called being a senior warrior," she joked, gazing at the younger warriors. "Sandstorm, Graystripe, Brackenfur, Dustpelt and Cloudtail are the most respected warriors..."
"Is it fun?" Ivypool changed the subject, as if not seeming to hear Millie, but seeing Rosepetal's confused glance, Ivypool added quickly. "Having an apprentice?"
"It makes me feel more…" her face became serious. "Older, if you know what I mean!" Rosepetal told her. "I feel more responsible, but I know Toadstep is jealous, maybe he'll get Lilykit or Seedkit... or maybe Amberkit, Dewkit, or Snowkit?"
"Oh, I hope I get an apprentice soon," Ivypool meowed hopefully, really wanting to mentor the trouble-maker, Amberkit, who was the leader of all the kits most of the time.
Millie broke in "Not trying to crush your hope here, but there are much older warriors than you who haven't had apprentices," she meowed, her blue eyes narrowed. Oh yeah! She hasn't had one cause she was a kittypet
"Oh…" her mew was saddened, she couldn't wait to get back to camp so she could share tongues with Dovewing and Bumblestripe.
