Here is chapter 7! :D Wrote this in a bit of a hurry, but I cut this chapter in half, so there's more. Reviews are appreciated. ;]

Carly padded to the entrance of Firestar's den.

"Firestar?", she mewed.

"Yes, Carly. Come in.", he said. She padded in. Firestar and Freddie sat in the center of the den. Carly eyed Freddie nervously before addressing Firestar.

"F-Firestar? Lionblaze and I found an injured loner today. He isn't fit to travel. Can he stay in Thunderclan?"

Firestar mulled it over for a full minute.

"For now. But Brambleclaw and I will make the final decision when he's well enough to go off on his own."

Carly dipped her head in respect.

"Thank you, Firestar. I'll tell him now."

She padded out with Freddie close behind her.

"Who's this new guy? You seem pretty concerned about him.", he said with a hint of jealousy in his voice. Carly sighed.

"His name is Crow. And the only reason I'm so concerned about him is he's injured. Don't make a big deal about it, okay?" She was tired and there was a lot on her mind still, even after talking to Lionblaze.

Freddie stepped in front of her, blocking her path.

"That's not the way I see it, Carly."

Carly was getting annoyed.

"Well you're wrong, okay?!", she hissed. Freddie flinched at her tone.

"Wow, who made you mad?"

Carly growled and pushed past him. Freddie stood there for a moment, utterly shocked. /What happened?/, he thought. /Carly's not like that…someone's upset her./ He became concerned and padded behind her.

"Carly, what's up? You know talking makes you feel better.", he mewed. Carly replied with a snort and kept going. He padded alongside her. /What did I do?/, he thought. He lashed his tail in frustration.

"Well fine, don't talk to me!", he hissed. His voice sounded hurt as he continued. "You'd rather run to Crow, wouldn't you?" This time, Carly stepped in front of him.

"Look,", she began, her voice colder than Freddie had ever heard it before. It scared him a little.

"I feel nothing for Crow! You and Lionblaze are getting worked up for nothing, okay?!"

Freddie's eyes widened.

"What? Lionblaze doesn't like Crow, either?", he asked. He and Lionblaze got along from the beginning, but now, things were tense between them, even though they never really had a reason not to like each other.

"How can you not like him? You've never even met him.", Carly said. Freddie tried to think of a witty reply, but it came out jumbled.

"I just...because…you, er…"

"Goodbye, Freddie." Carly padded off, leaving a puzzled Freddie standing alone.

*************

Snow began to fall in the forest. There was already a thin blanket on the ground. Sam rested on a rock in camp and Freddie laid at the bottom of it. The way Sam was positioned, her upper body slightly hung off the rock so that her arms hovered over Freddie. Freddie was in a bad mood. Sam, either not caring or not noticing, cuffed his ear with her paw repeatedly.

"What, Puckett?", he said without looking up. Sam cuffed him again, receiving an angry look and hiss as a response. She was startled by his actions, but a grin appeared across her muzzle.

"Wow, Benson. Never knew you had any fight in you.", she said, almost showing a sense of pride. Freddie placed his head between his paws and said nothing. Sam hopped off of the rock and faced Freddie.

"Aww…what's wrong, Mr. Mittens?", she said in a baby voice. "Did ya get your fur wet?"

"It's not important, Sam. Go away." Freddie growled. Sam took on a more serious tone.

"Whoa, 'tude alert! Seriously, what's up with you?"

"She-cats.", Freddie murmured. Sam snickered.

"Aw, does Hollyleaf hate you, too? I always knew there was something I liked about her.", she smiled. Freddie shook his head.

"It's not Holly, it's Carly. We got into an argument earlier.", he mewed. "She's kind of scary when she's mad." Sam's jaw dropped.

"Carly got mad? Seriously? At you? Ooh, what'd you do?!", she mewed excitedly. Freddie sighed and shook his head.

"It's not important. I just wish that..."

"What?"

Freddie looked down and walked away. Sam watched him go with a concerned look on her face. Carly padded up behind her.

"Hi, Sam.", she mewed. Sam whipped around to face the brown and white cat. She sat in front of Carly.

"Hey, Kid. What'd he do?", she asked. Carly stared at her blankly.

"What? Who?", she replied. Sam's whiskers twitched.

"Fredweird. He says you yelled at him.", she smiled. "What'd he do?"

Carly lowered her ears and pawed the ground nervously. /I didn't mean to.../, Carly thought.

"Um-", she began. "We were...he...I-I just-" Crow padded out of the medicine den and Carly stopped. She smiled in Sam's direction.

"Hey, Sam? There's Crow.", she mewed. Carly thought her best friend liked the black tom. Sam smiled, too. /Aww, Carls has a crush on the new guy./ The two she-cats walked over to Crow and sat down beside him.

"G'Morning, Carly. Sam.", Crow said, grinning. Jayfeather scowled in the med-den. /Stupid Crow./ He laid down and sighed. /Why am I getting so upset? I'm a medicine cat! I can't have these...feelings, especially for Sam. Ah!/ He growled to himself, waking his mentor.

"Who are you growling at, Jayfeather?", Leafpool yawned. Jayfeather's tail tip twitched angrily.

"Myself.", he muttered. Leafpool stretched and padded to him.

"Well, stop it. Every cat will think youv'e gone off the deep end.", she laughed. /Maybe I have./, Jayfeather thought. Leafpool gasped and took a step backwards.

"Leafpool?", Jayfeather mewed cautiously. She didn't reply; she just stared into space. Jayfeather shook her shoulder with his front paw and she whipped around, facing him with a worried look.

"Jayfeather, go get Carly, Freddie, and...Sam.", she mewed frantically.

"But, why-"

"Bring them to Firestar's den immediately!" She bolted out of the den. Jayfeather walked out of the den, pondering as to what could have upset Leafpool so. He saw Crow, Carly, and Sam not too far away and padded over to them.

"Carly, Sam.", he began. "I don't know what's going on, but Leafpool wants you three to go see Firestar."

"Why's that?", Carly asked. Jayfeather shrugged.

"I don't know; she left before I could ask what was wrong. But she's got me worried..."

************

"Firestar? Firestar?!", Leafpool cried. The flame pelted leader poked his head out of his den.

"Firestar, we have a problem.", Leafpool mewed, padding closer.

"A sign from Starclan?", Firestar guessed, signaling for his daughter to come in with his tail. Leafpool nodded and padded in.

"What did you see?", Firestar asked. Leafpool sighed.

"This will be the worst leaf-bare the clans have ever seen.", she began. "The twolegs and their monsters...ugh. The clans-no, the whole forest will be torn apart! W-We'll have to relocate to another-"

"Wait. Leave the forest? Again?", Firestar mewed. He was getting tense. "Isn't their any other way to avoid this?" Leafpool shook her head.

"It was...horrible. The tree roots were ripped from the soil and the lake was frozen solid. There wasn't a trace of prey, but a foul stench filled the air. It wasn't entirely the monsters, it was a mix of rouge cats, too. There was snow on the ground, but it ws stained with...blood." She hung her head and wrapped her tail around her front paws.

"There were so many bodies, Firestar. Of cats I didn't even know. But..."

"But what?", Firestar asked curiously.

"As I stood on the hills, the wind whispered three names to me, but I didn't recognize them." Leafpool continued. "I saw a band of cats pad off towards the mountains. In the sky, a star streamed across Silverpelt, stopping above the mountains. It came back, touching the ground a foxlength away from me. I saw three warriors in the distance. The light was so bright that I almost couldn't see them, but they looked like Carly, Sam, and Freddie."

Firestar's eyes grew wide in astonishment.

"These young warriors are linked to what is to come.", The medicine-cat confirmed.

Firestar nodded, taking it all in.

"Leafpool, could you make out any other cat that was in the group?", he asked. Leafpool shook her head regretfully. Firestar sighed.

"Alright. Thank you, Leafpool." Carly, Sam and Freddie padded in.

"I need to speak with you three.", Firestar mewed seriously. The ICarly gang shared a nervous glance before giving thier full attention to the Thunderclan leader. He and Leafpool told them of the vision.

"Hmm...we have to go to the mountains, then?", Freddie asked. Firestar eyed each of them nervously.

"I think that's what the message means, but it is your choice to go or not.", he said. Carly sat a little straighter.

"Of course we'll go.", she announced. "Right, Freddie?" Freddie gave her a nod. Carly turned to Sam.

"Right, Sam?" Sam barely opened her mouth when Carly said, "Good. So, when are we leaving?"

Sam lowered her ears and huffed, but didn't object. Firestar's ear twitched and Leafpool answered.

"Not for a while. In the vision, the snow was deep; about as high as my stomach when I'm standing. As you can see outside-" She pointed towards the mouth of Firestar's den with her tail. "snow-fall has just begun. It will be a few suns before it piles up to that height. Maybe even a moon or so...if we're lucky."

A few last words were exchanged and the ICaly gang padded off. Hiding in the shadows not too far away was Jayfeather. He heard the most of the conversation. /So, they're going on a quest, huh? But why would Starclan call on them? And. . .what will happen to Thunderclan?/
