PhantomWynd: I think I will do Brookpaw; you have a very excellent point. Thank you! *gives a giant house-sized cookie*
Emberpaw's POV
Silence filled the air when Celandinepaw and Brookpaw finished speaking.
Mosspaw seemed to understand immediately and she didn't hesitate. "I'm going to help down here the best I can. I don't think I ever was really destined to go to SkyClan . . ."
Emberpaw smiled briefly at her friend. You go to SkyClan. Do not stay down here. Go to SkyClan, Snowflame instructed.
Mosspaw went and stood on one side of the wall, "If anyone wants to join me they can come over here."
Emberpaw hesitated, "I'm going to stay down here too," she said finally and firmly.
Mosspaw grinned as Emberpaw padded over and joined her.
Celandinepaw stayed were she was, "I'm going to help the others get to SkyClan the best I can. I'm going to SkyClan."
Lunarpaw and Acaciapaw nodded and said at the same time, "We're going to SkyClan too. They need us there."
A few chuckles erupted from the group as the twins stared in each other in shock. Acaciapaw glared at Lunarpaw and Lunarpaw's face registered confusion.
Darkpaw glanced at Emberpaw and Mosspaw then at Acaciapaw. "I'm going to SkyClan," he murmured.
Emberpaw's eyes widened in surprise, her brother chose to come down here and he had wanted to stay.
Lightningpaw glanced uncertainly at each group. "I'm going to SkyClan too," he decided.
Mosspaw blinked at the others, "I guess this is it. We've all chosen our paths."
Brookpaw–who had been silently watching the whole exchange–spoke up, "I'm going to stay down here; I haven't been out of these caves for countless seasons and I'm staying down here, I'll help as much as I can from here."
Celandinepaw blinked sadly at her best friend, "Very well. StarClan bless each of you, we will all need the safety."
Darkpaw touched noses with Brookpaw and murmured a quiet goodbye.
Celandinepaw flicked her tail, "All of you should remember this moment carefully. When and if we see each other again some of us might be dead."
Silence.
Brookpaw flicked her tail, "Farewell my friends," she meowed and led Emberpaw and Mosspaw away.
It's like when we first came. The groups are practically the same except Lunarpaw isn't coming this time, Emberpaw thought.
Acaciapaw's POV
Acaciapaw stared at the ground sadly. "Will we ever see them again?" she whispered.
Tears fell onto the ground as Celandinepaw cried, "I don't know. I hope they make it. They don't deserve to die," she answered.
Lightningpaw stared after the direction his sister had gone and he shook his head, "I promised mom and dad that we would stay together," he cried.
Lunarpaw nuzzled him, "It's okay. StarClan is watching over them," she cooed.
Acaciapaw crumpled to the ground and laid there on her stomach with her muzzle buried into the dirt. Darkpaw pressed against her, "StarClan knows what they are doing," he mewed comfortingly.
Acaciapaw nodded and her body shook with sobs. Darkpaw placed his paw over hers, "It's okay."
Lunarpaw's POV
Lunarpaw leaned against the cave wall sadly.
"Come on, we should get going, we're almost there," she said, mustering as much encouragement into the words as she could.
Lightningpaw waited for Lunarpaw as she slowly followed. Lunarpaw leaned against Lightningpaw's shoulder and he led her down the tunnel after Celandinepaw, Darkpaw, and Acaciapaw.
Well next chapter should be from . . . who's POV? Hmmm probably Violetpetal because Adder has got one last warning for her to deliver.
Review?
