Yes, I AM aware this is like half the length of my normal chapters. Sorry! But the next one should be up soon, if I don't post it immediately after. N'joy! Oh, and a BIG thanks to Icefeather, Blazingnyancat, Aurorapaw, and jjfoxheartlvr007. The answer to the trivia was Pinestar, and Aurorapaw, you can find the other answers on the previous chapters if you haven't already. Don't forget to review! Also, there is a time skip of about two minutes between this chapter and the last. There may be longer time skips later on in the story. There actually will be one spanning a few days next chapter.

EDIT: About 20 minutes after I wrote this. Okay, so I have a good start to the next chapter. I will try my very best to get it up tonight, but I need to take a short break from writing at the moment. I will post this right now, so you don't have to wait on this (short) finished chapter for the next. Expect Chapter 8: Part 2 up in the next three hours, and hopefully I can keep my deadline! :)

Disclaimer: I no own.

Advised by Fossil Resin: Part 1

Dawnpaw pounded through the territory, leaping over fallen trees and duck around brambles, trying to get as far away from Smokepaw as possible. Her fur prickled with unease, this couldn't be happening! I could have loved him, She admitted to herself. I would have, if I had trained as a warrior. We would've trained together, fought beside one another, had kits together, with my fur and his eyes...NO! I can't afford to think like that. I'm a medicine cat, I swore an oath to follow the path of my ancestors, which means no love life. He'll find another mate, maybe Nightpaw or Moonpaw would do. Or even Sablepaw! But she felt a spike of jealousy as she thought of her sister twining tails with Smokepaw. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! She chanted over and over again as she ran. She soon darted right out of LightningClan territory, but she didn't stop. She ran and ran and ran until she couldn't remember her own name, until her legs were numb and her paws stinging with pain she could barely feel. Dawnpaw realized it was raining. Her fur clung dripping to her pelt, as she gazed around. She had dashed all the way up to Twoleg place, their strange dens rising up before her.

"Hi!" Someone meowed from behind her. Dawnpaw jumped and tensed, ready to fight. But the ginger and white housecat simply licked a paw and drew it over her ear.

"You're a long way from home," She remarked. "I'm Amber. What's your name?"

The apprentice studied the kittypet closely, but she didn't seem to be a threat. "I'm Dawnpaw," She mewed cautiously. "I live with LightningClan, in the forest."

"Oh, I know!" Amber chatted excitedly. "I used to live near...what was it called again? Oh yeah, SkyClan! I was thinking about joining, but then my housefolks moved. Shame, right? But I was surprised to know I was living by another Clan! That makes seven, at last count."

Dawnpaw stared at the kittypet incredulously. "Seven?"

Amber frowned, tilting her head. "I counted right, didn't I? StarClan, ThunderClan, WindClan, RiverClan, ShadowClan, SkyClan, and LightningClan!" She looked down at her claws that were extended. "Yep, that makes seven! I know about the other four 'cause of Firestar."

Dawnpaw was shocked. "You know Firestar?"

"Know of him." The kittypet corrected. "He restarted SkyClan after it was destroyed; that was before my time though. His story is told to all the kits and newcomers now, and all about the other Clans too. You're an apprentice, since your name is Dawnpaw. Nice to meet you by the way!"

The silvery cat was still wary of Amber, but she seemed friendly enough. "Um, you too, I guess."

The she-cat purred happily. "Oh, but where are my manners? Come inside! It's pouring rats and dogs out here!"

"Into a twoleg den?"

Amber shrugged. "It's almost sunset. You're a long way from your Clan, and there's no way you'd get home before moonhigh, at the earliest. Plus, it's raining! My housefolk aren't even home, I just come and leave through the window as I please."

The silver-furred apprentice hesitated for a moment. "I guess it couldn't hurt..." She mused aloud.

"Of course not! Now come." Amber ordered, and darted away over the brick wall. Dawnpaw clambered up after her, surprised a kittypet could jump so high. She slithered down the other side, then followed the other cat through an open space she assumed was the window.

The inside of the twoleg den was huge, and full of strange things. Amber was lying curled up on something soft, one eye open and studying Dawnpaw.

"You can sleep there," She mewed, gesturing to another nest beside her. "It should be comfortable enough. Water and food are over there." Cue another tail gesture.

"Thank you," Dawnpaw meowed politely, then padded over to where the water and food was. She sniffed the water; it seemed harmless enough. Hmm... Tastes bitter, but not much different from rainwater. The food actually wasn't bad, either. Instead of the pellets she had heard about, it was chunky liquid that looked disgusting but tasted good. It reminded her of pigeon, although the taste was not quite the same. She ate until her hunger was quenched, and gulped down some more water. As she curled up next to the pretty she-cat that had taken her in, she couldn't help but wonder 'How can I ever go back to LightningClan, after what I've done? Smokepaw told me he loved me- and I ran away!'

Instead of a trivia, I have a question for you guys this time.

Q: You're OC's crush just confessed his/her love to you, but you're a medicine cat (just pretend your OC's a medicine cat). What do YOU do?

Keep suggesting kits for Sunstorm, and see you next chapter! Also, this is going to be the first fanfic in a series of three! Never too early to give me OCs for the second story. No promises, but I tend to try to use all OCs unless there are major problems with them. And remember- I already have a main character, and all characters that are alive from this fanfiction by its end will be in the next.
