PhantomWynd: Here's your update :D! Cookie was delicious by the way! And I like the name "Phantom Wynd"

Emberpaw's POV

Emberpaw stalked silently forward, flanked by Lunarpaw and Mosspaw. Celandinepaw nodded slowly to Brookpaw and murmured in a low voice, "We're close now. We're almost out."

Brookpaw hesitated, "Are you sure about this, Celandinepaw? No Dark Forest cat has tried to escape the tunnels before. We don't know what could happen!" she exclaimed.

Celandinepaw smiled weakly at her friend, "You can stay. No one is forcing you to come with us," she murmured.

"I'm coming. I'm sure. We have to end the Dark Forest permanently," Brookpaw said firmly.

Don't listen to them, Emberpaw. They're trying to trick you, but you have friends down here, believe. All you have to do is find some Dark Forest cats. That's all you have to do . . . Snowflame murmured.

Emberpaw shook her head, "No!" she growled.

Celandinepaw and Brookpaw turned in surprise. "Oh, no you, just a stray thought," Emberpaw muttered hastily.

Celandinepaw shrugged and turned back to the tunnels. Brookpaw narrowed her eyes at Emberpaw, "Ever seen a cat with golden eyes and golden claws?" Brookpaw asked suspiciously.

"What? No . . . no I haven't. Ever," Snowflame answered, using Emberpaw's voice.

Brookpaw nodded, "Alright." She turned back towards the tunnels and started murmuring to Celandinepaw in a low voice that carried suspicion.

"I don't like it here," Lunarpaw muttered from beside Emberpaw.

"Why?" Emberpaw asked.

"Because there's so much evil down here," Mosspaw mumbled.

Lunarpaw nodded in agreement, "It's changing us. Darkpaw was right, you come in here one way, and leave another way."

Emberpaw's fur bristled, "You have actually been listening to Darkpaw? Stay away from my stupid brother!" she snarled.

Lunarpaw glared at her, "Fine! It's not me you should worry about talking to him though! Look around at you!"

Emberpaw sharply looked behind her to see Darkpaw and Acaciapaw talking in low voices.

"We're here," Brookpaw meowed.

"Great! We can finally get out of here!" Mosspaw mewed cheerfully.

"But we all have a choice," Darkpaw said from the back of the group.

"What do you mean? Can't we just go and be gone?" Lightningpaw asked.

Brookpaw looked at her paws, "The Dark Forest is rising and we need help down here. I ask that some of you stay behind and shut down the Dark Forest from the inside. We know you have to save your Clan too . . ."

Celandinepaw picked up, "This is hard for us to ask friends to split up but . . . we need your help. Could some of you stay down here and help us shut it down while some of us go to SkyClan?" she whispered.

I know it's short but I have a question! Who should stay behind in the tunnels Celandinepaw or Brookpaw?
