A/N Guys I know, I haven't updated in a while, but I have been having writer's lag. It's when a writer can, and has ideas to write, but doesn't feel like doing it…. So yeah. Big shout-out to my Language Arts teacher, if she didn't motivate me, well, let's just say you wouldn't have this. I hope I'll be able to get more then 3 people who aren't my friends to review, I won't update next chapter if I don't get at least ten. Simple math people 7+3=10 GET HER DONE.

Flashback

Yawning I looked at the two cats padding towards us, I noticed the rest of the ring started to calm down, but She was just getting madder then the rest had gotten at her. The black and white she-cat sat down in front of me, drawing her tail over her paws, while the sturdy brown tom followed her suit. Waiting for some time, the she-cat twitched her ears before asking- "I suppose that you wanted answers?"

My shocked expression caused numerous chortles from the ring of cats. Flicking his tail, the brown tom silenced them. Coming forward to me, the she-cat reached to touch noses, but a ferocious looking white she-cat growled at her. It took me a time to figure who it was, but when I did I was a bit surprised, She had growled at the cat. My mouth gaping I turned back to the two apparent leaders.

"Well, are you going to ask?" the brown tom asked me, I shot him a dark look before saying "Please, I'm not a kit anymore."

"Palepaw, when you were not even a thought from StarClan, your mother and father fell in love." My eyes widened and I opened my mouth to defend my mother before a silver tabby brushed her tail against my mouth. "Listen, there isn't any use denying it. I was there, when your mother first met Tigerwing – Tigerpaw then – she came back from the Gathering and my mate and I received our calling."

She flicked her tail lovingly to the sturdy brown seated next to her. "Thunderpool had been a medicine cat apprentice in WindClan, I had been a RiverClan apprentice. Meeting in secret every night, we began to get sloppy at our meetings. Eventually the tom from my Clan, I had been his love interest at that time, finally found out about our meetings. I begged him to not speak about it, but one day when Thunderpool and I were meeting, Shrewfoot found us, and tried to kill Thunderpool, I defended him with my life, and so we both died that night. That is Thunderpool's and I's story."

A deep and rough voice filled the clearing "Since then, Snaketail and I have tried to teach younger versions of forbidden Clan love, that it isn't a joke. Either you commit to loving someone, or you don't mess with the warrior code. We tried to tell Sliverstream" he nodded to the she-cat next to me, who had drawn her tail across my mouth to shut me up "And her mate, Graystripe, but it didn't matter, with one dead, the other is too."

Sighing at her mate, Snaketail tried to comfort me by moving next to me, but once again She growled at her.

"Well, wouldn't you like to share your story Starfrost?" Snaketail snapped, clearly exasperated with Her. Shifting uncomfortably at the attention that she now held captive, She started to meow, gradually getting louder and louder- "I was the daughter of Thistleclaw a-and Frostfur, he thought it was funny that Bluestar's apprentice should carry her arch-enemies' kit. I have lived in the Dark Forest my whole life, slowly purifying it until I met Snaketail. She promised me that if I helped the Dark Forest end I would be able to leave it, that's why you always s-saw it getting more and more like StarClan's hunting grounds."

Her eyes brimming with tears she turned to me and started to cry, slowly transfixed I watched them fall, slowly, one, by, one."That's why you are here, Palepaw. A great danger is coming to you, are you ready to fight side by side with Starfrost?" Snaketail asked, slowly backing away with the rest of the StarClan cats. (Mmm, wait rain check, Mom got cupcakes) My body stiffened as I looked around the clearing, no one seemed to meet my eye that is saving for Starfrost. Padding over to her I licked her shoulder, and tucked my tail around her. Slowly it seemed like my body seemed to freeze and unfreeze from the knowledge of now. This is what I wanted right? Isn't this what I needed? Sighing I looked over to Snaketail who still awaited my answer.

"Yes I breathed out, I am ready for anything" I whispered out as Thunderpool, and his mate padded up to touch Starfrost's and I's noses, before I awoke on a bank, hearing cats walking towards us I ran, Starfrost flanking my side.
