I DON'T LIKE LEAVING THINGS UNFINISHED!

Lol, sorry about that. I've decided to finish this, then do a rewrite. Or maybe just go back and edit every chapter before this one. Thanks to everyone who supports this story, and I'm sorry I've abandoned my fav forums, you know who I'm talking to. I just can't keep up with my regular RP site (link in bio) and RP on fanfiction as well. So yeah. Enjoy and don't forget to review!

Lionblaze stared in dismay and confusion at his mother. Ashfur glared at her through narrowed eyes. "You're lying," he growled. Squirrelflight met his gaze. "Did you see me give birth? Did I look pregnant? It was a facade," she spoke in an even, calm tone. Lionblaze wrapped an arm around each of his sibling's waists, pulling them close to offer support. Lionblaze could feel them both trembling violently against him, and he figured he wasn't much better.

He'd never imagined that they'd ever be in a situation like this. The fear, sheer weight of Squirrelflight's words, and the anger was fogging his senses. He was confused and scared, two emotions he hated to feel, especially when his siblings needed they did right now.

The smoke was getting thicker as it ate up the material of the roof and edged closer to the three on the edge of a high roof. If they fell, they would die. No doubt. And if Squirrelflight didn't get Ashfur to use the extinguisher, they would burn to death. Over the roar of the fire, the adults conversation could barely be heard. "But..." Ashfur protested. Squirrelflight nodded. "I fooled you all. My town, my 'kids', and even Brambleclaw," she explained.

Ashfur paused, then an evil grin split his face. "Well," he sneered. "What will the towns think of this? You lying to us all for all these years? Do you think you town or husband will ever trust you again?" He asked in a kind of insane merry tone. Squirrelflight's poker face flickered for a moment. "You'll...tell?" She whispered. His dark gray hair was stuck to his forehead with sweat and his eyes had a crazy glint in them. A wide smile split his face. A true look of insanity. Jayfeather coughed and weakly attempted to throw his cane at Ashfur. It just clattered off the edge and broke from the impact of the ground.

"Of course. You'll have no place here. I'll let these kids, whomever they belong to, live. But your suffering has only begun!" He shouted before shoving the red tank into Squirrelflight's arms. Then he clambered down the ladder. A crowd was gathered below, bit they were on the wrong side. All they saw was Ashfur run around the side of the building, screaming that he found a ladder to save them.

Lionblaze coughed and wheezed. His lungs burned and his eyes stung. With blurry vision he saw Squirrelflight extinguish the fire and run towards them screaming. Lionblaze stared at her in betrayal. He had trusted her. His whole life was a lie. Nothing but a facade. The times he felt happy making his 'father' proud, making cookies with his family every single holiday, grinning and holding out a perfectly baked plate of brownies on Mother's and Father's Day, loving their laughter as they drank in the sight of a chipper Lionblaze, a proud Hollyleaf, and an unamused Jayfeather, all covered in flour, eggs, and cooking oil. It was all fake. None of it mattered.

He felt Hollyleaf sag and her knees. Jayfeather's weight grew heavy in his arm. Lionblaze resisted for a moment, before allowing himself to fall to his knees. A lot passed in a blur after that. Faces, voices, sirens. He felt himself being lifted, then it all blacked out.

(Wine)

The three siblings huddled in the shed. It had been a long time since they had a meeting in the cramped little space, and the three of them could hardly breathe. Lionblaze was squished against Hollyleaf and the wall, as was Jayfeather. They all struggled to find room.

"What's wrong? Why I'm the name of the Town of Stars did you drag us out here?" Hollyleaf grumbled. Lionblaze brushed some of her silky black hair out of his mouth. They were that close. He glared at Jayfeather.

The blind teen was looking ready to burst. He faced Hollyleaf after hearing her voice and grinned. "We're kin of Firestar's kin!" He shouted. Lionblaze flinched and wondered if his ears were bleeding. "So?"

Jayfeather shook his brother's shoulders wildly, shaking the whole shed. "So? So I got a prophecy from the Town of Stars!" He clarified, still not clearing much up. Hollyleaf crossed her arms. She did not look amused. "And?" She asked.

"And? The prophecy said, 'there will be three, kin of your kin, who hold the power of the stars in their hands.' It was said to Firestar a long time ago." The gray haired boy waited for a reaction.

"Before Firestar was old?" Lionblaze automatically asked, grinning. Jayfeather poked him in the eye. "This is no joke!" He scowled. Hollyleaf held up her palms. "Wait...You think we're the three. This is too much..." She murmured. Lionblaze found he agreed. He wasn't anyone special. He was just Lionblaze, a hyper teen training to be a warrior for the Town of Thunder.

"Just think about it. Be on the lookout for anything strange about yourself. I think I already know my power. I thought it was part of being a Medic but I guess not..." He looked up at the two. "I can sense emotions, walk in dreams, and I see glimpses of the future. It's called the Sight."

"Wake up, sweetie," The voice of Aunt Leafpool softly coaxs, and the teen felt a cool hand against his hot forehead. A groan escaped his throat, and his throat stung terribly. He coughed violently, vision blurry as he opened his amber eyes. The hand helped him to sit up and held a glass of water to his lips. He drank gratefully and blinked to clear his vision. He'd dreamed once again of his brothers news after he returned from the Moon Pool.

Aunt Leafpool was leaning over him, concerned as she held his water. She wore her Medic uniform for Thunder, white scrubs with their town logo on the breast pocket. His aunt's brown hair was tied back and her amber optics displayed so many emotions at once. The walls were white and baby blue striped, and a faint beeping sound was constantly heard. It smelled like disinfectant in the room. A hospital room.

Lionblaze looked around. On his left, closest to the door, Jayfeather lay. His brother looked terrible. Dark lines under his eyes, pale skin, and he looked even smaller than usual. His dark gray hair was disheveled and he was wearing pajamas. Lionblaze looked down and noticed he was, too. He glanced to his right where Hollyleaf lay.

Her black hair was in a messy braid, probably so the thick mass didn't make her too hot. She also hard dark under her eyes and she lay limp.

Lionblaze forced the words out through the soreness of his throat. "How long?" His voice was hoarse and weak. Leafpool held up the glass of water t his mouth again and didn't reply until he drank. "Three days. You all suffered from smoke inhalation and burns. You'll need a few more days to recover," she explained as she pulled a little pocket mirror out of her pocket. Lionblaze opened it and stared at himself. Damn.

The usually spiky golden hair was now just bedraggled, and his eyes looked dull, without the usual sparkle of humor in them. His lips were dry and cracked, and he too had dark lines under his eyes. "I look like death," he groaned. Leafpool chuckled softly.

"Do you want to see your visitors?" She asked. Lionblaze just sighed and nodded. He didn't feel the usual eagerness. Leafpool left and a moment later a group of teens all walked in. A pretty girl with blue eyes and silvery hair rushed to Jayfeather's bedside. She must be that Willowshine. Flametail also stayed by him, pouting and staring at him.

Cinderheart stomped over to stand between Lionblaze and Hollyleaf. She looked ready to strangle both of them. Since Lionblaze was awake, she turned to him. "You could've died!" Curt as usual, she got straight to the point. Lionblaze forced a grin as Foxleap mimicked her from behind.

Lionblaze couldn't help but notice how cute she was when she was angry. Her freckled upper cheeks and small nose turned red and her sparkly eyes glinted. Today her long silky gray hair was tied in a braid with a violet beanie, and her sidebangs almost covered her left eye. She wore a white short sleeved v-neck t-shirt with a violet vest and ripped blue jeggings, along with her black all-stars.

She narrowed her eyes and put a hand on her hip at his grin. She whipped around and scared the life out of poor Foxleap. "So glad you care, Cinderheart," Lionblaze smiled a lopsided smile as he spoke with his weak voice. Cinderheart glared at him as tears gathered in her eyes, and she finally sobbed and sat down on his bed. Foxleap and Bumblestripe each took one of her hands as Lionblaze struggled to sit up and wrapped his arms around her.

"Hey, it's all right. I'm right here," he softly comforted her. The beautiful teen sniffled and looked at him. After a moment she smiled. "You know you're a lot of trouble, Goofus," she spoke, but nuzzled Lionblaze's neck, who blushed. "But you're worth it."

They heard the click of a cell phone camera and looked up in surprise to see Poppyfrost grinning beside Hollyleaf's bed as she snapped another photo and popped her gum. Honeyfern, who Lionblaze would later learn had started dating Berrynose, and said boy smiled behind her, holding hands. The two looked adorable and comfortable together. Foxleap and Bumblestripe high fived, and by Jayfeather, Flametail muttered something about owing Tigerheart five bucks, earning a chuckle from Willowshine.

Lionblaze could never have asked for better friends.

"It took Lion almost dying for you two to freaking accept your love? What the hell, guys?" Berrynose snorted. Honeyfern slapped his bicep lightly as everyone laughed. A friendly slap that he had never seen. Lionblaze and Cinderheart looked at each other. They stared, amber meeting beautiful blue. They began to both lean in as they tilted their heads ever so slightly, sliding their eyes shut. Lionblaze felt his face dust with red and his heart begin to race.

Their lips were so close, and Lionblaze went to close the distance when-

"This can't be happening! No!"

I KNOW I'M EVIL! MUAHAHA! You're welcome, a cliff-hanger to keep you up at night. I love you guys. -Tiny
