Hey Chapter 8 is here! Here things start to get a little bit more interesting and we see a little bit more of Spottedpaw's power! I know I promised more about Hollyleaf so the next chapter will be her history after the tunnel incident.

"Is this Jayfeather's blood?" Spottedpaw asked sniffing at a bloody spot on the forest floor. Leafpool, not paying attention shrugged. She was busy collecting the tansy. The medicine cat apprentice curiously liked the blood. YUCK! She thought spitting out her spit on the ground. Leafpool giggled quietly,

"That's why you don't like stuff on the floor!" the former medicine cat said. Spottedpaw was now trying to get the taste out of her mouth. "Here, stuff these in there." Leafpool said shoving some tansy into Spottedpaw's mouth. Together the two cats padded back to camp.

"Dawnpelt!" Lionblaze hissed. He was at the border of Thunder and Shadow territory on the Sunhigh search patrol, the other members of the patrol where, Cloudtail, Brichfall, Berrynose, and Ivypool. Currently Dawnpelt was admiring the fat squirrel she had caught on ThunderClan land. "You prey-stealer! Give back the squirrel and leave now!" he demanded.

"Let me think about that…. No." Dawnpelt teased. Lionblaze felt his blood boiling, not only was this the cat responsible for the death of Tigerheart, but Lionblaze believed that she had something to do with Jayfeather.

"Come on Lionblaze, it's not worth it." Cloudtail said. Lionblaze glared sharply at him to remind him that he was the deputy. "Lionblaze…" the elder warrior trialed off.

Lionblaze turned back to Dawnpelt who was snickering quietly. "Seems you don't know when to quit do you? Or maybe your mind is lost like a leaf in the wind… or…" Dawnpelt paused, smirked and continued, "A Jay's feather in the wind." Lionblaze had, had enough. He tackled Dawnpelt.

"Shut up you stupid piece of foxdug! Tell me what you know about Jayfeather!" Lionblaze growled.

"Lionblaze!" he heard someone yell and turned his head expecting it to be Cloudtail, but it was none the less than Bramblestar. "Quit being a mouse-brain!"

The golden warrior reluctionary got off Dawnpelt and she scurried away with the prey back to camp. "My den, now."

Lionblaze looked like an embarrassed kit as he followed after Bramblestar. But inside he was burning with rage. He knew that Dawnpelt had something to do with Jayfeather, and he was going to get to the bottom of it.

"Lionblaze, tell me why you acted like a mousebrained kit!"Bramblestar demanded. Lionblaze stared at Bramblestar for a long heartbeat before speaking,

"One, she stole a very plump squirrel that could have fed three apprentices! Two, she aggravated me. And three, she knew something about Jayfeather." Lionblaze explained.

"That still gives you no reason to attack her. We could have brought up the concept at the gathering tonight, without violence." Bramblestar kept speaking, "I don't see why you could lose your temper like that, Lionblaze! You're not just a warrior but my deputy! I chose you because you seemed responsible for the job! Now I am considering regretting my choice." Lionblaze said nothing, just stared at Bramblestar. "For your actions, you will not attend the gathering tonight." Lionblaze opened his mouth to argue, "No, Lionblaze, now leave."

Lionblaze sighed and nodded padding out of the den. As he padded out Hollyleaf padded up to him, "So what is your 'big' punishment?" she teased.

"I'm not going to the gathering," he answered, a bit annoyed at Bramblestar, he just didn't understand! If he knew about the prophecy…

"Lionblaze!" Cinderheart called to her make dashing over, "Pantherkit and Silverkit are missing!" she gasped, tears welling in her eyes.

"Don't worry we'll find them! Where were they last?" Lionblaze asked, trying to keep his cool.

"In the nursery! I closed my eyes to take a quick nap and then they vanished!" Cinderheart explained frantically.

"Reminds you of the time we snuck out don't it?" Hollyleaf remarked. Lionblaze shook his head; apparently they had inherited that trait.

"Cinderheart! Lionblaze!" they suddenly heard someone squeak.

"Pantherkit! Silverkit!" their mother cried a yowl of relief. Relief washed through Lionblaze also. "Don't you ever run off like that again; do you understand?"

"Yes, mother, but guess what?" Silverkit exclaimed.

"What?" Lionblaze answered.

"We went to the ShadowClan camp-" Pantherkit started but was cut off

"WHAT? SHADOWCLAN? CAMP?" Cinderheart yowled angerly.

"Shh…! This is the best part!" Silverkit ordered.

"-and Jayfeather is there! He is in one of the dens! Two cats are guarding the entrance! Must be a game of prisoners, huh?" Pantherkit finished, seeming happy.
