OKAY NEXT CHAPPIE! I found out it the time wasn't that harsh, I still have enough to write. But sometimes I won't update fast, I don't want to raise your hopes and tear it back down...ENJOY THOUGH

To Warriorfreak: On the second review you wrote Siletpaw with no 'n'...lol...and its spelled: OBVIOUS(i think so)Haha...well you make it easy to see that Ravenflight/paw had something for Spiderpaw/leg.

Angelpaw desperatley begged StarClan for help, searching around for a place to hide. But she was seeking in vain. An open muddy field, with too thin and weak saplings nearby and ragged bushes around her...of course she couldn't escape! She would have to think of an excuse.

Angelpaw backed into the shadows, still half visible, waiting for them to find her. Suddenly, a sleek midnight black tom slipped gracefully between the brambles. His warm brown eyes stared blankly ahead, ears perked up in alertness. His jaws hung open, probably to drink in scents.

"It's you." His voice was clear, with a hint of wisdom and maturity...yet amusement still rang. Angelpaw padded out, her nervousness gone in a heartbeat. "Sorrowpaw!" She exclaimed in a shouted whisper. She failed to hide the affectionate and relieved purr right after her sentence.

Sorrowpaw laughed softly, but you could barely tell the fact he was tense. "What are you doing here, Angelkit?" Angelpaw growled jokingly, "I'm Angelpaw now! And I don't know how...this time my paws just...led me straight to ShadowClan. I can't seem to explain it."

Sorrowpaw cocked his head to the side, blind eyes blinking, "You walked from WindClan to ShadowClan? Without being spotted by RiverClan?" He waited for an answer, wishing to see her expression, and wanting to know why she had become dead silent.

Angelpaw took in a deep breath, "I-I m-moved t-to RiverCl-Clan." She couldn't stop the tears spilling from her eyes, nor the homesickness dragging her heart down. Hesitating, Sorrowpaw pressed his body against hers, but only to comfort her. "Hey...its alright. Tell me what happened."

Angelpaw choked on her words, "M-my f-father...but I d-don't b-believe h-he really is m-my r-real father--" "Shhhh, calm down. Relax and stop your crying before you continue, hasn't your mother ever told you crying won't help?" He meant to say it to lift her spirits.

But Angelpaw didn't reply.

For the strangest reason, Sorrowpaw was caring that she was mourning. Every teardrop seemed to scorch his heart, little by little. He couldn't understand the reason why he was acting like this, like a queen to her kit. Perhaps, his sister, Melodicpaw was right...

Perhaps...unlike his name...he cared too much for others and not enough for himself. Atleast Melodicpaw said so. Angelpaw reminded him of his own sister, maybe that was why he was caring so much for her. A sudden light squish of paws against mud broke through his thoughts.

"Angelpaw!" "Hm...?" "It's my Clanmate! You need to go!" Angelpaw's half closed eyes snapped wide open, but it was too late. A light gray she-cat walked into the scene. The ShadowClanner's beautiful hazel eyes widend in shock at the two cats before her.

"SORROWPAW!!!!!" Sorrowpaw's whiskers twitched in amusement. "Hi Melodicpaw." "What are...who is...she's a...WHAAAAT!?" Angelpaw felt heat burn her face into crimson fire. "She was sobbing and I wanted to comfort her, obviously she's been through something painful."

'Melodicpaw' flicked her ears, her shocked mood swinging to calmness. "What did I tell you, brother?" "I care too much for others." Sorrowpaw rolled his blind eyes, purring. She chuckled and touched noses with him, uneasiness in her movements.

"I'm scenting her as RiverClan and WindClan in the same time." Angelpaw bashfully stood still, her mouth opened and closed, but not a word came out. "Is she a shy cat? And how did she stumble into ShadowClan so quickly?" Melodicpaw pressed for an answer.

Sorrowpaw grinned, "More importantly, where's the patrol?" "Oh I sent them back to camp when they were asking for you. They were about to go back you know. I was fibbing that you were out gathering herbs since leaf-bare is approaching fast."

Sorrowpaw blinked his unseeing eyes greatfully. "Sister, you are one brilliant lyer." Melodicpaw playfully cuffed his ears, "Is that a compliment? Anyways, you haven't answered my questions so hop to it and answer them!"

Sorrowpaw glanced at Angelpaw. "I believe she can explain." Angelpaw chewed her lower lip nervously. Everything had happened so fast, from walking to falling into another Clan's territory and meeting them here and now she had to tell them something private.

Angelpaw breathed in and breathed out, trying her best to become her normal self. "I don't think I can...right now." She raised a brow, personality fitting back into place. "The Gathering's staring about...now and I have ShadowClan scent all over me."

Melodicpaw swung her gaze to the night sky and groaned, as if she just noticed. "Sorrowpaw! You didn't smell it was nightime?" "Yeah I did. But I didn't think we were going this time, we went previously." "Oh come on! Just incase!"

Angelpaw smirked, watching Melodicpaw shove her brother from his seat and into the direction of their camp. "If you're still going, see ya in a blink!" She called after them, retreating back into her own camp just in time to hear Aquastar say,

"...Angelpaw, those who heard their name called, follow me." Angelpaw caught up to Shadowpaw and Silentpaw swiftly. Shadowpaw hissed when she realised the silver apprentice had arrived. "Where wer eyou!? Why do you smell of ShadowClan!?"

Angelpaw tried her best not to run away and hide. "I was looking for some watermint since leaf-bare is coming. I accidently stumbled into the river. I hauled myself into ShadowClan territory in a hurry, not paying attention."

(AN: I donno where to find certain herbs, like watermint. But because it has the word water in front of it I though it'd grow near water)

Angelpaw heaved an inner sigh as Shadowpaw seemed to take it as truth. "I see..." They arrived at the lake what seemed like only two heartbeats. Already every Clan was there, gathering around the tree bridge and waiting for their turn to cross.

Angelpaw spotted Lunarpaw hop onto the trunk and slowly waddle to the island. She wish she could yell a greeting to her sister but then...if cats saw her--which most likely they would--they would ask why she was with RiverClan.

Angelpaw hoped there was some way to reveal the truth, but Pureheart was a trusted warrior. Even if Stormingstar and Aquastar believed, other Clans might not. Pureheart would surely step up and defend himself with an exaggerated truth.

Another worry hit her like a lightning bolt. Surely the Clans would see her leave with RiverClan, and everyone knew her in RiverClan as Angelkit. No no no! She mustn't worry too much! There had to be a way to explain, or keep it a secret.

Before she knew it, it was her turn. "Hurry it up!" Angelpaw scrambled onto the trunk, startled. Uneasily she stalked her way to the island, carefully placing a paw over the other. Silentpaw pounced onto the tree too, adding extra weight.

Then followed Shadowpaw and a few others. Every hair on Angelpaw's pelt pricked up in alarm as the trunk creaked heavily underneath all the cats. "I guess there's a good thing and a bad thing with every first Gathering..."

Finally Angelpaw hopped onto the island, glad she was off. Quickly she searched for Crystalpaw and Lunarpaw. Then she spied them, sitting together with some ShadowClan apprentices. Eagerly she padded over, grinning from ear to ear.

"Angelpaw!" Crystalpaw exclaimed, gladness plastering her features. Lunarpaw lifted her once lowered head and purred, "It's good to see you...I really felt lonely when Crystlpaw couldn't play..." Angelpaw was shocked, not because of what her sister said but because,

"You didn't stutter?"

GASP! Lunarpaw didn't stammer! WOWEE! Cliffie-ishy. NOTE TO WARRIORFREAK: Sorry for not reading your new story...I'm busy and is it okay if I don't until I find time? Sowwy...I weally wike it.
