LARKTAIL-a month after Honeypelt's death

Life is WAAAY better without Snowpelt casting her shadow over me. I have friends now, real ones, and I feel like I've finally met my equals. But now Snowpelt's acting vacant and unfamiliar. She's avoidant and prickly and has been so since Honeypelt died. Why? It's like she's completely different from the popular, sweet, and friendly sister I know. But let's not get into that now.

"Miss Larktail! Wake up from your little daydream! Did you even hear a word I said?"

Oops. Ms. Minnowtail is mad because I wasn't paying attention.

"Can anyone tell Miss Larktail here what she missed?'

Nooooooo. Anything but the 'tell her what she missed'...

A hand flies in the air. I'm not surprised to see that it's Heathertail, the jealous Cinderheart wannabe who thinks Cinderheart "stole" Lionblaze. Poor thing's so blind she can't even see her own nose.

"We're making paper-machè dogs."

CINDERHEART

My life hasn't been sunshine and rainbows since Honey died, but it's been okay. Lionblaze and I- our bond is stronger than ever. He totally gets it, because his parents could be dead for all he knows. And Hollyleaf is my new best friend. She's sweet and kind and doesn't mind my drilling her for details about Lionblaze since I'm his GF. I joined the school soccer team a few days after Honeypelt's funeral to help me get my mind off her. And it's worked really well! I found out that I really like soccer, and play every day I can. I also joined the swim team but I can't beat Heatherdiamond Waterheart. She's the school swimming champ and won three Olympic medals at fourteen. FOR THE 1000 YARD BUTTERFLY AAAAAA! She's amazing. And Larktail broke up with Hawkheart. She's much happier now.

"CINDERHEART SORRELFUR! PUT DOWN THE DODGE BALL RIGHT NOW!"

Heh heh. I have a habit of throwing things when I get lost in thought. Whoops...

LATER

"... so then Snowfur gets hit by a car, and dies."

I am telling the story of Bluestar to some other freshmen. They are staring at me with their mouths wide open.

"And then?'' one gasps out. Sunstrike, I think.

"You'll just have to wait until later." (It's like 11pm already! Curfew starts in fifteen minutes.)

"Awww..."

I head back to my room where Hollyleaf is reading in bed.

"Hey." she says, not taking her eyes off the page. There's something in her tone that I can't quite read. It doesn't sound good.

"Are you okay, H?"

"NO I AM NOT! MY BROTHER GOT INTO A FIGHT TODAY AND HE IS IN THE HOSPITAL WAITING FOR EYE SURGERY. HE WILL NEVER SEE AGAIN AFTER." she explodes. It's like a hundred pounds of pent-up feelings pouring out all at once.

Noooo.

"Lionblaze? He can't have! I mean, I was with him the whole day and-"

"Not Lionblaze."

Then who?

"Jayfeather."

CLOUDFUR-The next day (Blossomfrost's new OC, not Bluestar's sister)

Perfection with raven hair and pine-green eyes. Hollyleaf Nutmegtail.

She doesn't notice me, or talk to me, but I have hope! I just have to talk to her. Outside of my dorm room mirror, of course...

"H-"

"Holl-"

"Uh-"

(That was practice.) And BOY do I suck. But lately she's been really down. I hope she doesn't have a crush! If she does that could ruin my chances with her and I really want to date her...sigh. I'll go see Mr. Bumble, the guidance counselor. He gets it because his love interest, Ms. Willow, is engaged to Dr. Storm, the head of the Forest Creatures Anatomy section. Oh well. Here we go again, back on the same path I've traveled a million times to Bumble's office...

SNOWPELT

{Bang! Crash! Shatter! Boom! Bangbangbang!}

Target practice has begun in the Dark Forest and so far I've hit every mark I've tried to. I even shot Breezepelt once because he made me mad-thankfully the bullets are small and don't do much damage, but he's still in the hospital. Muahaha. I'm loving the whole evil thing. It's like I can really let loose and be myself here. I try to impress Brokenstar as much as I can but lately he's been very distracted. I wonder-

Oops! It's time for Attack Planning 101.

BROKENSTAR

I love her.

I only see her amber eyes and gold-streaked black hair when she looks at me with her heart melting gaze. I see her talon like nails and the way she angrily assesses authority. I dream only and think only of her. She is my only comfort in this misery pit.

Guess who! First one to get it right gets 3rd OC. Must be unrelated to others.

AZF OUT! See you on Saturday! Plus we have a 3day weekend so there will be four updates this week. BUT ONLY 4

Byeee and see you on the WEEKEND!
