NightmareTheFoxWitch: XD Yes he does.

WolfStar Leader of Dawn Clan: Sorry, but Hawkfrost is already in the story. I can add in Icekit as a certain cat though...

Okay guys, you are the best. 31 reviews! I'm going to give a shoutout to some of my favorite warriors, in every chapter, because... I'M SPECIAL!

To Graystripe: You are probably one of the funniest cats ever. 3 Keep up with that humor!

Volepaw's POV

"What?" Onestar sounded outraged. All of Windclan glared at Shadowclan.

"We haven't set a paw on your territory!" Rowanstar glared at the brown cat.

"Then why have we found remains of prey on the edge of our territory, with Windclan sent all over them?" Volepaw couldn't believe how wrong his first gathering had gone. He looked over at Eaglepaw and Talonpaw. Eaglepaw's fur was fluffed up, so that he looked twice his size.

Up on in the tree, Bramblestar and Mistystar were trying to break up the fight.

Volepaw slowly inched his way towards Lightpaw.

"This is bad." Lightpaw and him managed to squeeze out of the crowd.

"And on our first gathering too!" Lightpaw shook her head. Volepaw was about to speak when he saw two cats with their heads close together. They looked utterly terrified.

He tapped Lightpaw on the shoulder, and pointed with his tail at the two cats. Lightpaw just nodded, and followed him as he made his way behind the cats.

When they were close enough, he heard Lightpaw whisper,

"That's Flamepaw and Shypaw!"

"How do you know that?" he hissed back.

"I was talking to them earlier." "They're from two different clans, Shadowclan and Windclan!"

This can't be right.

Volepaw leaned in closer to hear what they were saying.

"This is all my fault!" Shypaw squeaked.

"No it's not." Flamepaw put his tail on her shoulder. "Calm down." "We just need to meet somewhere safer." Meet?

"Like where?" Shypaw panicked. "Onestar is going to kill me!"

"No he is not mouse-brain!" Flamepaw hit her on the head with his tail, but gently. Volepaw could tell. "There is a place away from clan territory, but near enough that we can get there and back in a night.

Volepaw felt Lightpaw move beside him. He looked to see that she had stood up and was walking towards the apprentices.

"What are you two doing?" Volepaw jumped over to his sister.

Both cats looked scared at the sight of Lightpaw.

Flamepaw was the first to speak.

"I'm yelling at this excuse for a cat!" He growled.

"Really?" Volepaw tried to sound tough, and skeptical.

"Yes! I-" Mistystar cry cut through Flamepaw's words. Volepaw saw a new cat sitting on the rock.

"Cats of all clans!" Mistystar sounded frustrated. "Willowshine has just informed me that Starclan does not approve of this!" Bramblestar took a step forward.

"Mistystar is right!" "Starclan have sent clouds to cover the moon!" He flicked his tail up, and Volepaw saw all the other cats look up too.

"This gathering is over!" All the leaders jumped off to their clans. Volepaw turned to Lightpaw, but stopped when he saw Flamepaw staring at Shypaw.

"Meet me tonight." Volepaw barely heard it.

"Volepaw! Let's go!" He heard Graystripe over the shouts of cats. Volepaw bounded in Graystripe's direction.

Next to him stood Lionblaze and Lightpaw. Volepaw hurried over to Lightpaw. She was the first to speak.

"What is wrong with those cats?"

"I don't know. They're breaking the warrior code!" Volepaw walked with his sister.

"Let's keep this between you and me for now." Lightpaw's eyes pleaded. Volepaw reluctantly nodded. He would just have to wait and see what happened.

I'll ask Mapleshade later.

Volepaw was back in Starclan with Mapleshade. She was trying to teach him a fighting technique. She had said Thistleclaw was busy.

Volepaw sat down.

"What are you doing!" Mapleshade yowled.

"Can we take a break?" "We've been fighting for a while!"

"Do you think that in battle, your enemy will stop and let you rest?"

"No! I just have something I need to ask you!"

"Alright." Mapleshade growled.

Volepaw hesitated. "What is it then?"

"Were you watching the gathering?"

Mapleshade nodded. "Did you hear what Shypaw and Flamepaw were talking about?"

"No." Mapleshade stood up and started pacing.

"Okay..." Volepaw decided to just ask his question.

"What happens when two cats from different clans become mates?" Mapleshade stopped in her tracks.

Volepaw was about to repeat his question when Mapleshade appeared right in front of him.

"What did you say?"

"What happens when cats from different clans become mates?" Mapleshade looked away from Volepaw.

"Terrible things happen!" She shouted so loud it hurt Volepaw's ears. Mapleshade clawed at Volepaw's ear, making a deep V shape. "They say they love you, then forget about you and take a different mate!"

"He blamed me for our kits deaths!" "It was never my fault!" "Never!" Mapleshade was standing over Volepaw, and Volepaw was trying to merge with the ground. Mapleshade was scaring him.

"Never talk about that ever again." Volepaw nodded out of fear. Mapleshade clawed his ear once more.

"Get out of here."

"What?"

"Leave!" Mapleshade continued yelling, "We will continue training later!"

Volepaw scurried out of the clearing as fast as he could. He heard Mapleshade's call.

"Appledusk..."

Volepaw kept running.

The scenery changed from gnarled trees, and dark soil to a meadow full of green grass and perfect trees.

"Volepaw." He heard a soft voice from behind him. Volepaw turned to see a tom with a crooked jaw.

"Who are you?" Another, paler tom stepped out behind the first one. Volepaw could see right through to the other side of the cat.

"I am Crookedstar. This is Appledusk." Appledusk nodded. Appledusk... Isn't that what Mapleshade said? "Come with us." Volepaw noticed that Crookedstar and Appledusk had stars in their fur.

After sometime, Crookedstar asked a question, "Have you met Mapleshade?" Volepaw saw Appledusk cringe.

"Yes. She's my mentor!" Crookedstar laughed softly.

"Volepaw, I once fell into the same trap as you."

"What do you mean?" Volepaw stopped walking. Appledusk and Crookedstar stopped as well, and Appledusk sat down.

"I'm afraid..." Appledusk began, "Maple... Mapleshade isn't what she seems to be." Crookedstar sympathetically put his tail on Appledusk's shoulder.

Crookedstar mewed, "She isn't part of Starclan." "She is part of a place where evil cats go."

Volepaw jumped up, ready to defend his mentor. "Mapleshade isn't evil!" "How would you know!"

Appledusk was losing control. "I was her mate!" He cried out, "She drowned our kits! She killed me!" Appledusk began sobbing, "And I still love her..."

Volepaw looked at Crookedstar and Appledusk in disgust.

"I don't care what you think!" "Mapleshade is a good cat!" Volepaw stormed off into the forest. He heard Crookedstar yowl, but just kept going.

Mapleshade is a good cat! He thought Right?

And... That chapter is done! *claps*

I'm going to take a break from Volepaw's POV, and do Jayfeather's, Eaglepaw, and Shypaw/Flamepaw. Maybe Lightpaw.

I don't know. Tell me what to do next!
