I AM NOW OFFICIALLY 12 YEARS OLD. YAY ME! :D

'Sup, peeps? Er, RainClan warriors! :D How ya'll doin'?

SO. I have a proposition. Will you guys go to Redstorm of Scar Pack's profile and read their story The Lion King Games? It's a crossover of the Lion King and the Hunger Games. I don't read the Hunger Games, but I've seen TLK and read Red's story, and they're both great! Check it out!

Staticlash- I'll look into it! But I don't know if I can make Pathogen a former RiverClan cat. Twistedpaw is supposed to be like, alone in that manner. She's supposed to feel left out. Gloomy, but hey XD I'll try to include him somehow ;)

Let the chapter begin!


Twistedpaw watched Echo, Yarrow, and Rikah throw amazed glances at one another. She had just told them all she knew about Clans, except the things that could lead to a possible invasion, like how exactly to do a battle move. Rikah turned his gaze to Twistedpaw once more. "I'm sorry that you were unable to finish your warrior training. Can you go back?"

Twistedpaw stared at her paws. "Probably not." Shifting into a more comfortable position in her hay-bed, Twistedpaw spoke once more. "I'm a cripple."

Yarrow, her quiet demeanor still strikingly recognizable, spoke in a very small voice. "But you're very sweet."

Twistedpaw blushed. "Thanks."

Rikah stood, his gray fur bouncing. "Well, this storm has so far not blown over in the least, so what say we all get some rest, hm?"

Twistedpaw sighed, agreeing. Curling in tight, the brown she-cat fell into a deep sleep.

As she dreamed, Twistedpaw walked through a grove of gray, sagging trees. She crouched low, remembering stories of a place called Dark Forest, and prayed to StarClan that she had not wandered into the territory.

"You are challenged, yet you are strong."

Twistedpaw whirled around. Where had that voice just come from? "Hello?"

"Your path winds in countless directions."

Twistedpaw shook rapidly. She was terrified. What was happening? "Come out!"

"You are scared, but bravery burns in your heart."

Twistedpaw propelled forward, bursting through the sad-looking trunks of trees. A gray mist enveloped everything; there was no sky. The grass was slimy and uncomfortable, and Twistedpaw slipped multiple times. Leaping over a creek of pitch-black water, Twistedpaw landed heavily in a patch of soft, green grass. She looked up. The trees were beautiful, their leaves twinkled like stars. The grass was springy and smooth beneath her paws. Looking behind herself, Twistedpaw saw the ghastly gray forest of slime and rot. Looking forward, she saw beautiful swaying willows, a crystal clear creek, and bushes laden with raspberries, strawberries and blueberries. In between was a patch of normal grass, like in reality.

Where am I? Twistedpaw thought. Padding slowly forward, Twistedpaw bumped into a cat who appeared from behind a boulder. She stumbled backwards in surprise and fear. The cat had stars in its fur and a warm smile. He was a small and lean black tom with fluffy ears and a twisted paw. His muzzle was scarred. "Hello, Twistedpaw."

Twistedpaw couldn't believe who she was looking at. This was Deadfoot, from the stories! Twistedpaw stuttered. "H-hi." Swallowing, Twistedpaw spoke once more. "Are you Deadfoot?"

The tom nodded kindly. "I am. What are you doing on the border?"

Twistedpaw cocked her head. "The border?"

Deadfoot nodded to the patch of normal grass. "This is the border between StarClan territory and Dark Forest territory."

Twistedpaw shuddered, looking once more at the eerie woodland. "I was in Dark Forest?" Turning around, Twistedpaw gazed into Deadfoot's eyes. "How do you know my name?"

Deadfoot laughed. "I'm of StarClan. I am also your idol," he mewed with a smile. "I need to know the names of the cats who look up to me."

Twistedpaw blushed. "Yeah."

Deadfoot gave the border an disapproving look. "You needn't go there again. That place is not for cats like you, true of heart."
