Ugh.. Sorry it took me so long to update, I normally forget to update, or I get writers block and forget what to write, so I end up not writing anything at all and thus not putting anything up. I really need to write longer chapters, too.. Oh well, here's the next chapter.

Lightpaw kicked a rock with her front paw and watched it tumble into darkness. She sighed. She had no idea how long she'd been in this cave, or what time it was. All she knew was that it was so dark that she could barely see anything.

CRACK!

Lightpaw jumped back in alarm, and pricked her ears. She looked around, and then figured that it was just a rock cracking somewhere. Lightpaw continued walking down the path. How did she end up in this mess again?

Of course. It was all to save Skyblaze. But this has proved to be a pain in the ass, and in fact Skyblaze himself is a giant pain in the ass. Thanks to him, I'll probably be behind on math assignments soon…

Even if she was a cat, Lightpaw still continued to think twoleg thoughts. She had no interest in changing her mind to think like a clan cat.

She kicked another pebble and heard the noise of it scuttling down the cold hard floor. Somehow, the noise satisfied her. She kicked another one.

Wow, my life has gotten so miserable that listening to rocks I can't see scuttle down the ground has become a source of entertainment.

Just then, Lightpaw heard something from beneath her. Curious, she looked down.

"WHAT THE F…"

Skyblaze POV

Sunlight dappled Skyblaze's fur as he entered camp with two mice, a raven and a squirrel. It had been one day since Lightpaw had gone missing, and he was very happy that she was gone. The day had gone by faster than the boring days he spent mentoring Lightpaw. He had spent the whole day out hunting on his own, catching mice, squirrels and even a raven.

He felt good, and felt exactly the way a new warrior should. Carefree and joyful, spending sunny days hunting successfully. Skyblaze dropped his prey into the freshkill pile, and then he picked a plump vole out of the pile before running to go find Rosepelt.

LIGHTPAW'S POV

"Oh.. My.. GOD!" She screamed and stepped back.

About 40 feet down, there was a huge room filled with scuttling, huge brown coakroaches.

If I were a human, I would be barfing or fainting about now. Probably fainting. Lightpaw shuddered and lowered herself down onto her belly. She had never seen anything this gross, ever.

"Great. Now I'm stuck here with ten thousand coakroaches, and if they touch me…" She shuddered heavily at the thought. It was any human's nightmare. Or cat's... What the heck are they doing down there? Wait, hang on, hang on.. Oh, that's right. Coakroaches feed on bat poop.. EW!

Lightpaw jumped back at the horrible stench that wafted to her nose. I'd rather be in a freaking garbage dump than in here! Even a garbage dump smells way better than this! She couldn't take it anymore. She got up, turned around and ran as fast as she could, not really caring which direction or cavern she ran into. Her panting echoed off the cave walls, and the noise of her paws stepping on the rock radiated throughout the cavern as well. It wasn't until she tripped over a rock into a small black hole that she stopped.

Blackness swallowed her up, and fear clawed at Lightpaw's belly. At the same time, adrenaline fell over her. Actually, falling's pretty fun. Minus the land-

THUMP.

"Ow!" Lightpaw fell on her stomach, and painfully rose and looked around. Where was she? She walked down the passageway, looking up and down. Lights suddenly appeared, and glowed off the walls. The light lured her farther down the passageway. What she saw next was the total opposite of the coakroaches.

"Woah.."

Huge, tall towers of crystals resembling Christmas trees stoof before her. Light radiated off of them, and for the first time, Lightpaw could actually see. It was completely quiet except for the faint noise of dripping water. A sense of security fell over her. She tried to step toward one of the crystals, but her paws felt heavy.

Oh, that's right.. I haven't slept at all since I've been in this cave…

Before she knew it, a wave of sleep swallowed her up.

The cave went completely silent, and dreams engulfed Lightpaw..

SKYBLAZE POV:

Skyblaze laid alone in his nest, listening to the rhythmic breathing of the other warriors. Rosepetal was sleeping in Scarletweather's den tonight, so he was alone. With a yawn, he curled up into a ball and fell asleep..

".." Where am I?

"..." Skyblaze looked around, confused. He was in a strange, misty place. When he looked up, the sky was a shade of blue, similar to the color of the sky after twilight. Confused, he began to walk forward.

"Skyblaze. Over here."

Who is that? Skyblaze walked over to the voice, curious to see who was speaking to him. He walked straight into the mist, only to see a single cat who sat next to a crystal clear pond.

"Who.. Who are you?"

The cat ignored him, and instead looked down at the pond.

Is this Starclan? Why would they want me here? I'm just another warrior, not a medicine cat or leader..

The cat cleared his throat, which got Skyblaze's attention. He quickly padded over to sit beside the cat.

"Yes?"

The cat looked into his eyes. "The dream must end. You can't stay here any longer."

"So you're telling me to wake up from this dre-"

"No. You must wake up from this entire dream. This dream world. Look into the pond."

A little uncertain about what to do, he looked at the strange cat. The strange cat gestured to the pond with his tail, so Skyblaze decided to comply.

At first, Skyblaze simply saw his own reflection. I don't get this at all..

Then the image changed. Skyblaze felt his throat tighten up. The image was no longer of himself. It wasn't even a cat.

The face of a twoleg stared back at him.
