…
Story Note: Now, with their awesome "carving with claws" skill, the cats of ThunderClan have carved their names onto their laptops as so not to confuse each other with others' laptops.
…
"Firestar will be returning to the Clan in about two days," Sandstorm announced to the rest of ThunderClan at their sundown meeting. "Today is the Gathering. We will be trekking over to our Gathering place in a short moment. But we may need a few warriors to stay put at camp, in case Firestar decides to proceed with his plan today. Our laptops must be protected!" she added. The rest of the Clan yowled with agreement. "He will not take them away from us."
Brambleclaw added, "StarClan will be visiting me in two days. If all goes well, I may receive my nine lives then."
A cheer rose from his words. "Brambleclaw!" they roared. "Brambleclaw! Brambleclaw!" The ThunderClan future leader ducked his head in embarrassment. He was glad that he had all the Clan's support in what he said. Firestar was just the only one that he needed to deal with, and quickly.
As Sandstorm and Brambleclaw began to sort out who was going to the Gathering and who not, Lionblaze padded up to Jayfeather. "What would you do once Firestar returns?" he asked his sibling. "I don't know what I'm supposed to do. He was a good cat, until the laptops came, and now everyone is turning against him. I don't know which side I'm on now…"
Jayfeather stared at him. Hard. Finally he sighed. "Okay," he meowed, "come to the medicine den. I need to tell you something." Suddenly curious to know what was happening, Lionblaze quickly followed him into the den full of herbs. The smell was incredibly strong. Herbs were stacked here and there, all in neat piles, separating different herbs. Jayfeather sat down and beckoned for Lionblaze to do the same. He obeyed and then stared at Jayfeather, questioningly.
"Firestar is still here, in ThunderClan territory," Jayfeather muttered. "He's still planning a way to confiscate the laptops. I'm not joking," he added when he saw Lionblaze's stunned expression. "I've… I've… I've even offered to help him, okay? StarClan declares that all laptops are to be destroyed. They are ruining our lives."
"B-but it's also a big help to us!" Lionblaze protested. "Our minds are too small, and the laptops have expanded our knowledge –"
"Our knowledge of what?" Jayfeather spat back. "Knowledge of what?" he repeated slowly. "We've learned nothing with the laptops. At first it seemed like we were above StarClan and all, but now I realized that it is just making us more lazy! Look at you, for example. Don't you think that you have… added more weight?" Lionblaze immediately flushed at this comment. "Okay, look, I didn't mean it as an offense," Jayfeather added hastily. "But like, we're all growing bigger. As in, wide big."
"I guess so," Lionblaze admitted. "But I guess the reason is that prey is running around more often, although the season is turning to leaf-bare."
"And the reason there is so much prey during leaf-fall, nearing leaf-bare?" Jayfeather demanded.
"Uhh…"
"Because now that we have laptops," Jayfeather replied angrily and in a rush, "we're too damn lazy to even put a paw out in our own territory!" He swept his tail with such force that a few herbs fell off their piles. Jayfeather didn't care, as it seemed, by the look of him. "Why won't you even understand? Every time when any warrior or whatever is free, they just sit down with their laptops in front of them. We are basically being hypnotized by these dreadful things! No one stops and takes in the fresh air anymore. No one says, 'Oh, I'll go and catch some extra prey for you and the rest of the Clan' anymore. No one –"
"Isn't saying, 'Oh, I'll go and catch some extra prey for you and the rest of the Clan' sound a bit too romantic?" Lionblaze butted in. "Do you like… like someone or something?"
Jayfeather went silent. Lionblaze's eyes grew huge.
"Are… are you s-saying, that you do?" Lionblaze meowed.
"S-shut up!" Jayfeather snarled. "You're just butting in to stop me from talking about something really important here. Now I'm just saying that we should stop this era of laptops!" He glared at Lionblaze. "And I don't like anyone! I was silent because I was just… just taking in my anger because I can't stand you!" He quickly stood up and raced out of the den.
Lionblaze swore that Jayfeather liked someone. You could seriously tell. The way he looked down at his paws when Lionblaze asked what he questioned. But who was it? Lionblaze tried to think about which she-cat that Jayfeather had a crush on, but his thoughts were being butted in by the plans of Firestar and Jayfeather to confiscate the laptops and destroy them. Did Jayfeather seriously mean it? It looked like he did. But why is he on Firestar's side?
Should Lionblaze join him?
He didn't know. Well, he still needed to put more thought in it anyway.
…
Night time fell. The sun slowly sank into the depths of the waters far, far away. Sandstorm had ordered that Lionblaze, Dustpelt, Blossomfall, Millie, Graystripe, Thornclaw, Sorreltail and Brackenfur stay at camp. "In case Firestar has some backup," she explained to them. Jayfeather had told Lionblaze not to tell anyone anything that Jayfeather had told him. Lionblaze didn't want to, anyway. He'd feel way guilty if he uttered a single word about it.
As the last cat's tail tip vanished from the tunnel, Lionblaze turned to face the remaining cats as they sorted out who was guarding which place. It turned out – obviously – that most of the cats were going to protect the laptops. Lionblaze's duty was to stand by the dirtplace tunnel. The reason for this was because there was a secret entrance/exit that led into camp and out into the ThunderClan hunting grounds. Blossomfall was to stand by the original entrance in and out of camp. Graystripe was assigned to just stalk around camp.
"If you see or hear anything abnormal," Dustpelt meowed, "then warn us immediately. Any rustle could be Firestar lurking about."
When did this Firestar issue become so serious? Lionblaze just guessed that everyone was desperate to keep their laptops. Or at least, the remaining owners with their laptops alive. The ThunderClan warrior recalled a moment when Foxleap called the laptops "my life. If I didn't have laptops then I'd probably die."
But Jayfeather had said that we could all survive without laptops. It'd just hurt a bit, but every cat would adjust to it quickly. Was that true? Lionblaze thought deeply about this as he sat down beside the dirtplace tunnel. Could they really survive without laptops?
Throughout the night, every cat remained tense and alert, including Lionblaze. His ears were pricked as he strained to hear any noise of paw steps moving about. There was none from the dirtplace. He relaxed slightly and glanced around to see what the others were doing. Every now and then Graystripe would stop and stare somewhere, and then returning to stalking again. Blossomfall looked on the verge to collapse. She was probably tired, but she still looked alert. The others were just sitting and staring at nothing.
Soon after past the rise of the moon, Lionblaze's eyes began to feel droopy. It was quite tiring just sitting and staring, looking for someone who probably might not even come, anyway. He decided to close his eyes, just a little bit, maybe for like, a few seconds for a nice, nice rest…
SNAP!
Lionblaze was immediately jolted awake, all sleepy senses suddenly alert and in warning. He was about to call to the others, but they heard the loud noise, and were padding towards Blossomfall, as the noise was coming from there. He was about to follow them, until he stopped in his tracks, thinking again.
Firestar wasn't that reckless when he was stalking. Sometimes he would make a mistake, but not in something serious like this if he really wanted the laptops gone. Maybe it was just some careless squirrel running about at night. But if it was Firestar… was it just a distraction so that he could drag the laptops away as the ThunderClan cats wondered who it was?
Fortunately – or unfortunately, in Jayfeather's case (but he wasn't here at that moment, so…) – Dustpelt was smart enough to think about that, for he told Millie and Thornclaw to get back to the warrior's den (where the laptops are stored) and check to see if Firestar was in there.
He wasn't, as it seemed.
Was that meant to be a relief or…?
"There he is!" Blossomfall yowled suddenly. There was a sound of scrambling and Lionblaze turned to look up to see that there was a cat racing through the trees. Most of the cats set in pursuit, but Dustpelt ordered Millie and Thornclaw to stay where they were.
Dustpelt stared at Lionblaze. "You stay as well!" he meowed loudly. Lionblaze nodded, although he didn't know what he would do once he actually encountered the former ThunderClan leader. Attack? Millie and Thornclaw would probably do that. Talk? Millie and Thornclaw would wonder what the heck Lionblaze is doing by talking with the intruder. Nothing? Millie and Thornclaw would wonder what he is doing as well. Then what?
Lionblaze decided to go to the warrior's den with Millie and Thornclaw first. Then they could decide together what to do. As he entered the den, Millie glanced at him. "Lionblaze…"
"Uhh... what?" Lionblaze asked.
"Firestar… he stole your laptop."
"What?"
…
PoX's Note: Chapter…finished! I decided to type this up on Friday, and then add the finishing touches on Saturday, which is obviously today. Now, I'll give you this week's question. But it is not a quiz question. It's an opinion question. I really want your opinions in this, OK? I will give out free COOKIES! And maybe even bigger prizes just for answering. Now, here's this question: Do you think I should make a sequel? State your reason. I need a reason. If you give me a good reason, the bigger your prize shall be. If you don't give me a reason you'll just get a COOKIE! Which is still a good prize, anyway XP
Oh! And before I end this chapter, I just want to show you this review by this person called disneylover213:
"I wrote the story posedion misses his family. WOW you must not have very many friends and NONE OF OUR STORIES ARE EVER GOING TO BE IN ANY IF THE BOOKS YOU STUPID! SAYS THE WOMEN WHO HAS NEVER WRITTEN A PJO STORY! *coughing and muttering* wow she does not know what she is talking about"
I will explain to this random author in order about everything she has said in her review and replying back.
First of all, when you said 'I wrote the story posedion misses his family'...who is posedion? Or are you talking about Poseidon? I've never heard of a Greek God who goes by the name of posedion.
Secondly, I think you have posted this in the wrong fandom and whatever. If you want to send me something like this, how about through Private Messaging? But too late now. Everyone's going to see this.
Third of all, you said 'WOW you must not have very many friends' actually, I do. I have over 200 to be precise. A Princess of Xing needs to be very social, which is why I have quite a lot of friends. I bet you're just saying this because you don't have very many yourself. Be nice to others, okay? You'll earn friends this way.
Now, on to fourth, you said 'NONE OF OUR STORIES ARE EVER GOING TO BE IN ANY IF THE BOOKS YOU STUPID!' ...what? I don't get it. I think you were probably trying to say that none of our stories are ever going to be published in books. Well, if you're a good writer, then maybe. Which is why I advised to you in my review that your characters are way OOC?
Fifth, you said 'SAYS THE WOMEN WHO HAS NEVER WRITTEN A PJO STORY!' Well, actually, I'm going to. I've planned this ever since my obsession with Percy Jackson and the Olympians began. And plus, how DARE you call me a WOMEN? I think you mean WOMAN! Am I like, made of more than one person? I feel highly insulted! And also, I'd prefer to be called the Princess of Xing. I'm part of the Royal Family!
Onto six, you said '*coughing and muttering* wow she does not know what she is talking about'. I do, thank you very much. Your insults to the Princess of Xing are very, very offensive. I would like to punish you quite severly, but I am too young to talk of such things. What about you? Do YOU know what you are talking about? How about WHERE you are placing this, then?
Please show a bit more respect, to both me and the readers who are currently reading this.
Now, to all the readers who probably don't get this, I sent a review to one of disneylover213's stories called 'Poseidon Misses mortal family', saying (and I must admit I said it quite rudely, but I didn't flame, did I?) that he/she should not make the characters OOC, unless he/she planned it to be.
Plus, you've all watch that movie called 'Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief', right? Well, can you imagine Percy, crying "Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!" to his father, Poseidon, a Greek God that at first Percy felt like his father had rejected him and his mother completely? Well, I cannot imagine such an event happen.
And also, this same author has added the popular Gem Alchemist's story as favourites. Well, she highly dislikes this author now because he/she has thrown such a horrible insult to me, the Princess of Xing. The Gem Alchemist and I are very good friends, and we are shocked to see this... this disgusting review that is off topic about my story IN my story anyway!
Anyway, let's end this and watch out for next week ^^
