I'm so sorry, this is barely a chapter. I can't really do much with this story right now.

Sorry about the super long holdup. School has me pretty much wrapped up, and author's block doesn't help.

And just so you'll know, the plan was supposed to go like this:

Sorrelpaw gets the loner out of their den.
Lionblaze and Molewhisker get them pinned.
Cloudtail, Bramblestar, and Ivypool come to get Hollypaw.

The night air was now still, and there was tension building up. Lionblaze, Molewhisker, and the loner were no longer screeching. Ivypool's pale fur was gleaming, and she was clearly shaking. Hollypaw's clear green eyes were glowing in the light.

But Bramblestar was nowhere to be seen.

Then she noticed the pelts of Molewhisker and Lionblaze up, and moving freely. Shouldn't they be pinning the loner down? Then the pieces snapped together as they heard a bloodcurling screech.

Everyone began to frantically rush about, and only Sorrelpaw remembered Hollypaw. She began to drag the quaking ball of black fur, then she unfurled and began to run with her Clanmates.

"But what about Bramblestar?" Hollypaw panted.

"He'll be fine! He still has eight lives!" Cloudtail responded, not looking back at her. She already knew, but this made Sorrelpaw's blood icy.

Finally, they made it back to the camp. Everyone was asking questions about where Bramblestar was, especially Bumblestripe. All they could say was that he would be back soon, and hope that it was true.

Again, super sorry. And, just because it will probably still be a while longer before I update again, Bramblestar will come back.
