P.S. Most people voted that Sorrowstream is disloyal to her clan and is with Greenclaw, but stays a medicine cat.

Rain drizzled through the slats of the warrior's den. It was a dark, cold morning, and already puddles and miniature rivers were rippling into the caves. Grieffeather and Copperblaze were curled in a corner together, murmuring quiet love-stories their parents had told them. Greenclaw however was wide awake and terribly lonely. He kept on thinking of Sorrowstream.

He knew she couldn't be loyal and be with him, but he kept thinking of how she had looked at him the other night; with passion in her eyes, and longing seeming to come in vanilla wafts off of her glistening pelt. He had looked her in the eyes, and he had wanted to hold that moment forever; but why? He didn't know that he could ever have felt this way; in love. He had never dreamed he'd be in love.

With Maskpaw and Copperpaw around as apprentices, they had been so handsome; plain-colored-brown Greenclaw didn't stand a chance. But they couldn't have all the she-cats he learned, and he had fallen in love with Sorrowstream.

She was just so perfect! She had a lovely silver-grey-dapple coat, with luxuriously long fur and graceful stride. Her eyes were simply grey like her siblings, and seemingly emotionless with such depth though. Greenclaw couldn't imagine anyone being more perfect than she. And what she had said the other day to Moonlight, "Because I think I'm in love with him."

Greenclaw couldn't hold any longer. He dashed across the clearing (A/N: Quoting Sorrowstream: Greenclaw was the most graceful cat she had ever seen, so when he was running it was flawless and elegant.) and into the medicine cat's cave. He was shocked to see Sorrowstream awake and having a conversation with Mapleleaf; they were both sitting (paws tucked daintilly) around a glowing stone. Sorrowstream was saying;

Sorrowstream: I don't know what to do, Mapleleaf. Every night Grieffeather has more and more dreams; all about our parents falling in love and dying. Lately she's followed our father, Streamheart, and he's always Never been honored or anything. Instead of having a proper burial ceremony; he's just tossed venomously into the river to float away.

Mapleleaf: Maybe she was destined to find about your parents, Sorrowstream. Starclan must have their reasons.

Sorrowstream: (hanging her head) actually there was something I didn't tell you Mapleleaf. There was a prophecy. It happened a moon ago right before the last Gathering-"

Mapleleaf: the Gathering is tonight you realize. If it affects all the clans you might have to announce the prophecy to the whole Gathering.

Sorrowstream: I know "Listen, dear Griefpaw. Follow your past, discover your lineage, mourn the dead, cleanse the living, and rid the storm of red. Emotions are hidden. And do not mourn or lay blame when they the hidden die." my mother was telling it to me, Mapleleaf.

Mapleleaf: (face frozen with shock) where is Maskpaw? Where is Maskpaw you fool?"

Sorrowstream: (face confused and hurt) I don't know, why?

Mapleleaf: (urgently) He's in danger!

Sorrowstream: (confused) From what?

Mapleleaf: himself.

Sorrowstream: what do you mean?

Mapleleaf: "Emotions are hidden, do not mourn when the hidden die," Hidden, Sorrowstream. What do masks do, Sorrowstream?

Sorrowstream: (horrified) they hide things.

She immediately leapt to her paws and dashed out of camp, followecd closely by Greenclaw. She ran out of camp, and Greenclaw sprinted behind her; shocked at how fast she could run. Soon Grieffeather was streaking beside them, gasping, "Mapleleaf just told me, Sorrowstream, he was going towards the cliff when I last saw him!"

Sorrowstream immediately changed direction and headed towards the cliff; scrambling up the hill frantically. She reached the top, and Grieffeather a moment later. They gasped in horror.

Maskpaw was at the bottom of the cliff; splayed out and broken. Blood trickled down from his temple, and fur was scraped off on the rocks. He had commited suicide, and he had done it successfully; Maskpaw of Thunderclan and Riverclan heritage, was dead.

Sorrowstream swayed faintly and almost tumbled down the hill; but Greenclaw caught her tail just before she fell. She seemed to noticed for the first time that he was there. She leaned against him, and a tear trickled out of her beautiful grey eye. Grieffeather was crying too, and said, "One of the last things I ever said to him was yelling at him, oh, what a horrible cat I am. He must have commited suicide because of us!"

Sorrowstream was stil crying when Mapleleaf and Copperblaze scrambled up the hill; Mapleleaf hobbling with arthritis, and Copperblaze slipping because of fear. Moonlight was behind them; her eyes widened with shock and fear.

Sorrowstream said, "I'm sorry, we were too late."

Mapleleaf said quietly, "The prophecy has been fulfilled; Maskpaw will be in our hearts forever though."

Copperblaze turned to Grieffeather, and said, "I'm sorry Grieffeather, is there anything I can do for you?"

Grieffeather shook her head sadly, and said, "No, thanks."

Sorrowstream was looking at Moonlight and was surprised to see that she was crying as well. She said quietly, "I'm sorry Moonlight that you had to meet him like this; I was planning to introduce you two earlier, but I didn't get the chance. I'm sure you would have gotten along well."

Moonlight said quietly, "We did-" Sorrowstream looked at her questioningly, and Moonlight said, "And he's going to be here in more than our hearts; I'm going to have his kits."

I bet you didn't see THAT coming, please review and tell me what you think! But just so's you know, I'm never going to change anything because I have it all planned out right to the end. REVIEW!
