Okay, I have a couple notes.

First, 75 views in one night. They aren't all on my most recent chapter, but wow! Thanks guys!

2, when I said you get plushies when you review, I met imaginary plushies :c

3, thanks for two more reviews! Also, thanks to MeowKitty1912! She pointed out a big misake I made.

Meowkitty1912: Thanks for telling me! I didn't know brown eyes were rare, I'll change that. Also I totally didn't mean to make her open her eyes on the chapter she was born, I just accidently had Jaypaw describe them because I wasn't thinking about it. She opens them in chapter 7. Thanks for the help!

So in this chapter, some eye colors may spontaneously change. PREPARE YOURSELVES XD

(Imaginary) Jaypaw plushies to reviewers! *Jaypaw growls in background*

Welp, here's chapter nine.

Cloudhaze's P.O.V, Right After Jaypaw Left His Den

Cloudhaze watched silently as Jaypaw padded away. Of course he wouldn't understand. Thought Cloudhaze ruefully. Ivystar is his mother. He trusts her completely!

Cloudhaze looked to the sky and sighed. Oh Starclan, if that flood had never happened Briarleaf would've been giving me my name. My sister and dad wouldn't have died, and I'd be in my comfortable den right now instead of this dumb little clearing!

Cloudhaze took one last look at the sky, then turned around and climbed in his nest to fall into a fitful sleep.

As Cloudhaze's eyes shot open he jumped in shock, but then quickly realized that this was the same clearing he had been in last time Starclan visited.

Cloudhaze sat down and patiently until a Starclan cat finally padded into the clearing. He nearly whimpered like a kit as the she-cat padded in. Same fluffy grey pelt. Same white underbelly. Same pale green eyes flashing with warmth…

"Briarleaf!" Cloudhaze exclaimed. He quickly ran over to nuzzle his former mentor, then looked at her again. "We all miss you so much! It's been crazy down there!"

Cloudhaze then noticed with a jolt that Briarleaf had a grim expression on her face.

"B-Briarleaf? What's wrong?" Briarleaf shook her head sadly. "It wasn't your time to become a medicine cat, Cloudhaze."

"W-what do you mean?" Cloudhaze stuttered, refusing to believe what he had known to be the truth. "Ivystar gave me my name, everyone trusts me… I- I should be a medicine cat by now!"

"Cloudhaze." Meowed Briarleaf sadly. "You knew it wasn't right. I think you've also noticed Ivystar's… Well, losing her-"

"I know, Briarleaf." Cloudhaze's blue eyes shone with grief for his friend, Jaypaw. "I think losing Ambertail hit her hard… She's starting to lose her composure, and it's only getting worse."

"Yes." Meowed Briarleaf quietly. "Starclan was supposed to give you your name, we would've visited Ivystar in her dreams and told her of this. But Ivystar… She would never have listened!"

Briarleaf shook her head, her pale green eyes clearing. "This isn't what I came to talk about, Cloudhaze! Ivystar giving you your name was a bad omen for Thunderclan. It's only further proving that the prophecy is correct! You all must be careful, dark times are ahead!"

The prophecy, thought Cloudhaze. Thunder will rock the forest, the River will conquer it…

Cloudhaze gasped. "The storm rocked the forest! The flood is conquering us! Is the prophecy fulfilled? Is the one with the Shattered past upon us?"

Briarleaf shook her head. "You know I cannot tell you that. The prophecy is not completed, young one. This is merely the beginning. All I can say is the one with the Shattered Past is Near… Closer than you think…"

Briarleaf began to fade away, and Cloudhaze knew he was waking up.

"Remember!" Yowled Briarleaf. "I will walk with Thunderclan! Watch for danger! Bad omens! Dark times ahead…"

As Cloudhaze woke up, his eyes narrowed to slits. "I must tell Ivystar…" he whispered, his blue eyes shadowed.

Cloudhaze clambered out of his nest and padded into the clearing. Some of the warriors were still sleeping in the clearing, but Ivystar was awake. She was nibbling on a scrawny sparrow, her normally clear green eyes clouded.

Cloudhaze padded over to Ivystar, his confidence slowly dropping. How much exactly had Ivystar changed since the flood? He wondered.

"U-Uh, Ivystar." He meowed warily. "I need to speak with you in private."

Ivystar looked at Cloudhaze, her face blank. Then she quietly meowed, "Of course." And padded into the forest with Cloudhaze following.

"Well, Ivystar, I've been visited by Starclan…"

Ivystar's eyes suddenly brightened. "Who?" she exclaimed like an excited kit. "Was it Briarleaf? Did she have news about the flood? Is it finally going down?"

Cloudhaze hesitated, not wanting to disappoint his leader. But she had to know. "Well, yes. It was Briarleaf." Cloudhaze cringed as Ivystar got even more excited. "But it wasn't news about the flood, it was abou-"

"Oh." Ivystar cut in, her face falling back into an expressionless mask. "Well, then I might as well tell you this now. I want you on the patrol when we go check on the other clans the day before the gathering. You do stand apart from clan rivalries, afterall…"

"Yes, yes Ivystar. That is fine, but I really must tell you-"

"So no news about the flood at all?" Ivystar interrupted once again. Cloudhaze huffed with annoyance. "No!" he meowed sharply. "Well, there was a prophecy. But it's not important right n-"

"Prophecy?" Ivystar exclaimed, her eyes narrowing. "Why wasn't I informed? Are you a traitor, is that it?"

"No, Ivystar, no!" Cloudhaze meowed, shocked. "Why would I be a traitor? I got it before the flood and it just slipped my mind. But I'm telling you, my name was a bad-"

"What is the prophecy?" Meowed Ivystar, her voice full of authority. "I must know it."

"Ugghh!" grumbled Cloudhaze. "Thunder will rock the forest, but River will conquer it. Only the one with the shattered past can soothe the rapids. Now let me tell you-"

"Oh." Meowed Ivystar. "That really doesn't sound important. Well I have a clan to take care of, bye."

As Ivystar sprinted back to the forest, Cloudhaze dug his claws into the ground, holding back a yowl of frustration. Ivystar, you loon! Why can't I get through to you?

Cloudhaze half-heartedly padded back to the clearing. As he began to pad back to his "den", he had an idea.

Dawnwatcher has been more of a leader than Ivystar ever has! I'll just tell her.

Dawnwatcher was dozing in the sunlight, her patched orange pelt shining in it's brilliant rays.

"Hey Dawnwatcher…" Meowed Cloudhaze. "Can I speak with you?"

Dawnwatcher's amber eyes flitted open with surprise, then rested on Cloudhaze.

"Oh, yes. Of course." she yawned. "What is it?"

Cloudhaze looked around to make sure none of his clanmates were near, then leaned forward.

"Me getting my name from Ivystar was a bad omen! I got a dream from Starclan. I tried to tell her but she wouldn't listen! They told me that Thunderclan must be extra vigilant, dark times are coming."

Cloudhaze sighed with relief now that he had finally told someone.

"Well…" Meowed Dawnwatcher carefully. "That certainly isn't… Good… News…"

Dawnwatcher's calm demeanor left her for a split second, and she looked panicked. But as it returned, she met eyes with Cloudhaze.

"Thank you for telling me, I will organize extra patrols." As Dawnwatcher stalked off, the worry pricking at Cloudhaze's belly finally left.

Maybe everything will be fine…

Poor Cloudhaze, he's not even supposed to be done with his training yet!

Ivystar made him medicine cat early because after her mate (Ambertail) died, along with many of her clanmates, she was like OBSESSED with trying to keep everyone safe. So she was like "Me need medi cat." and made Cloudpaw into Cloudhaze. She isn't going very crazy yet but… :3

Jaypaw plushies for reviewers! x3
