Chapter 9

-Almost at the End-

No cat spoke for the rest of the day. Trilliumpaw hide her tears to comfort Stormpaw, who was still tense and shaken from witnessing Crowfeather committing suicide to be with his son. He hadn't seen such hatred before what the Windclan warrior's eyes had directed to Robinpaw and Mothwing. The medicine cats ha done what they could for Breezepelt, but the effects of the Black Widow's bite had already taken its toll on him long before he woke up.

And though Stormpaw's mind was blurred as always, part of him felt agitated by the mark on the spider's back. Some kind of shape in a scarlet color. It was like looking at another deadly enemy identified by it's crimson symbol. It was almost impossible to imagine how Robinpaw was feeling, though. The black apprentice was as emotionless as if nothing had happened, but it was almost nightfall and he hadn't broken down yet, so Stormpaw could only assume that he really wasn't fazed.

The dark-striped apprentice jumped at Trilliumpaw's voice, no matter how soothing she made it. "Are you at least ready?"

He sighed. "I don't know if I ever would be ready to kill my sister... I'm just relieved we never got too close."

"From the way Bramblestar described it at the first gathering after you joined, I assumed she ran off just before he brought you to camp."

"That's what he told me."

She gazed a him sternly. "And she just headed for the Tribe without even coming back for you? That's awful, even for her standards!"

Stormpaw almost nodded his head, but he simply turned is head. "Can we talk about something else?"

Trilliumpaw looked taken aback. He noticed Robinpaw glance back at him with a cold glare, as if processing the one sentence as a cover up with more to it than Stormpaw meant.

"Y-yeah, sure! Sorry, I should have known you wouldn't want to-" she trailed off. "Um... so what do you will happen once we get up there?"

The Thunderclan and Windclan apprentices, except for Robinpaw, who was still stalking, looked up at the great mountain towering over them. They stood several minutes worth of travel of the ground on the narrow passage that led to the top, with plenty left. Reedwhisker meowed over his shoulder for them to keep moving, as it had been a whole day since he wanted them to arrive. Their pace, as one could easily guess, had slowed from the incident with Breezepelt and his father.

"I don't know."

Grasspaw started waking backwards to talk with them, but after almost tripping and falling off the mountainside, he walked next to Stormpaw instead. "Bloodpaw had moons to get here before we even started. And she if she was able to kill Amberpaw and Greystripe, and Starclan knows who else on the way here, she'll be hard for even all of us to defeat."

Robinpaw slightly bristled as Havenpaw slowed her paw steps and padded beside them, a little too obviously attempting to push him aside in the process, but he held his ground stiffly and she decided to ignore him. "And she wants to kill the Tribe of Rushing Water, too. So-"

"Hold it!" Stormpaw was surprised by his tone, but didn't change it. "When did she say she wanted to kill the entire Tribe? Bramblestar said all she wanted was to get rid of Stormfur!"

Robinpaw tensed at his words, once again taking each one seriously.

"And you think the Tribe will sit back and let her do it?" Havenpaw narrowed her gaze. "I may not have met them, but they still sound like some kind of a clan. Stormfur is one of them, no matter if he has clan blood or not! They still won't let it be spilled!"

Stormpaw blinked, and acknowledged that she was right.

But not long after had Trilliumpaw made an irritated face. "Wait a minute," her voice was sharp and ticked-off. "How come ALL of us are trying to fit in a row, here?!

Havenpaw and Grasspaw awkwardly laughed, then made room for the first three to participate in the conversation by finding something to talk about ahead with the other cats, now lead by a Reedwhisker no acting like a military officer (Whatever that means to them, I guess. Let's just say I lent Trilliumpaw a human dictionary and leave it at that).

Alright, here's a short chapter. They discuss the future and how little they know of it! I herby declare chapter 9... A WASTE OF TIME.

I was bored. And Reedwhisker's wearing one of those cool general helmets with the Riverclan symbol on it.

Robinpaw keeps being a stalker, but for a PERFECTLY good reason... that will be explained in a certain chapter that's coming uuuppp! :3

Stormpaw WAS going to react in some way when Havenpaw was talking about blood-shed, but I guess not.

OH ALSO, I kinda want to make a new Fanfiction series on Pokémon, but as I'm already making on for the Pokémon Adventures! manga, (Tests of the Legends and Lost, guess how long it took 10-year-old me to come up with that name? Two whole mernurts!) I don't plan on making a new Pokémon fanfic until that one is done.

This new Pokémon fanfic will be based on my recollection of a series I wanted to film with a group of friends, where I made a sort-of-plot-line and we dress up as trainers and follow the yellow-brick plot. But, no. We never filmed the first episode. I'm glad I didn't make THAT monstrosity, though, because at the time I was into these jeans I had with white stars all over them (SKINNY JEANS, MIGHT I ADD), and I swear, I would have worn them and put that crap on YouTube. I pride myself on my laziness. I'm too much of a sweat-pants and baggy shirts person now, but I had a regretful childhood. Oh... So many regrets...

Anyway, it'll have a new region with completely new characters with a completely new everything except for these things:

(I'm making these lists a lot lately)

1. There are Pokémon.

2. There is a professor.

3. There is an evil organization.

4. The Pokémon are our friends, to the main characters and many others.

That's about it, I'll probably remember something later though. Ah, who cares.

So the point of this Pokémon thing is this: DO YOU PEOPLE WANT ME TO MAKE IT? Leave a review saying what you think I should do, and If you have an questions for further details, but I won't give away any plot spoilers.

And, of course, the regular stuff! Please remember to leave a review saying what you think of this chapter, and this series, and a few extra questions for you guys:

-What do you want to happen when they reach the top? Will all of the Tribe of H20 Advertisement be killed? Will they stop Bloodpaw before she ends another life?

-And, who is your favorite character in this series so far? It could be an original or one of my own, as I have tweaked all of there attitudes a little.

Ok, so you don't have to do all of that in one review, but the most important things to me right now are the happenings of Chapter 10, and that Pokémon series!

This thing is long.

See y'all when I see y'all!
