Now, I have to apologize. My computer had this craaazy glitch that blocked my Internet, my mom was out of town so I couldn't use her computer, my iPad is SUPER slow and my phone, well, whenever I go to safari it crashes, and pretty much yeah. I DONT TYPE GRAMATICALLY CORRECT. Sorry I get off track easily..

skykitty of the night: No problem ^^

Featherleap: The wings grow on them, just like when you're a baby you slowly grow hair.. That was a weird way to explain XD

~Chapter 11~

-Silkpaw's POV-

"Pearlpaw... Pearlpaw... You there?" I whispered as Sparrowfeather glared at me. Gosh, why are Medicine Cats so grumpy?

"Snake... snake... Go... Away-No! Wait! I told..." Pearlpaw mewed quietly.

"PEARLPAW." I screamed and she bolted up in her nest.

"Ah!" She looked around frantically.

"No, no! Go back-" Sparrowfeather's warning was too late. My sister's eyes clouded and she went limp. Sparrowfeather caught her and I used my paw gently to poke her awake.

"Pearlpaw.." I whispered and stared at her. Nothing. Pearlpaw...! My thoughts began to grow frantic.

"Just... go. Just go." Sparrowfeather swooshed me away with her tail and I spat in annoyance. Then I reluctlantly padded out. Just in time, too. Blazestar was calling a meeting.

When everyone gathered, he started, "We did not find any evidence of any hostile EarthClan cats, but will lead a patrol to EarthClan camp. Inkspot, Swiftstreak, Flashflood, Sleetpelt, Robinflight..." He looked around. "Silkpaw and I will go. Come along."

I blinked. Me? Me?! Whoa! Cool! Blazestar spread his wings and took off. Man, I wasn't hesitant to follow. I soared with the patrol as we flew over Electric Stream. Electric stream was a large stream that connected all the clans. It would curl into a large pool, which was the Gathering pool. I could see everything! There was our territory, the large moor, and next to it EarthClan. On the other side of EarthClan was DarkClan, thick, deep woods. Next to DarkClan (and us) was WaterClan, which held Electric Stream's source. EarthClan was a bouldery territory, with steep drops and rocky terrain.

Blazestar frowned, obviously a little confused of where to go. Just then, a billiow of dust rose into the sky.

"There." My leader immediately said, swooping toward the dust cloud. He landed on a large boulder and we landed behind him. "Ahem." He mewoed loudly and the EarthClan patrol spun around. Before you could say 'mouse', the sky vanished from sight. "Mouse-brained EarthClanners!" Blazestar hissed. Now I realized what was happening. EarthClan had built a prision out of rocks around us. I narrowed my eyes and focused. A trick we SkyClanner's had in our fur, we ruled the sky. Also know as, the air. A bolt of pure air shot from me and it hit the rocks, tumbling them. The rest of the patrol caught on and soon, our prision was a pile of rubble.

"Clever, aren't you little birdies?" A mocking snarl came from above. We looked up to find the EarthClan cats on a towering staff of rock. It was just one long slab of rock, and they were on top. Blazestar lashed his tail and shot up, spreading his massive wings. I swear the enemy patrol winced. Blazestar landed on next to the patrol, followed by me, Inkspot, Swifstreak, Flashflood, Sleetpelt and Robinflight.

"Cleverer than you rock-heads." Swiftstreak shot back smoothly.

"Stop. We come in peace. Take us to your camp." Well, 'take us to your camp' sounded like an order after 'we come in peace.' I'm not sure Blazestar caught that...

"Fine." Now I could see the tom who had spoken, he was handsome, with a brown pelt and peircing, yet soft, yellow eyes.

"Dustblaze-" A small white she-cat started.

"No, Snowflake." Dustblaze, the tom, interrupted as he leaped off the ledge. I gasped and was tempted to catch him before a column of rock shot up and he landed on it. I watched in amazement as the EarthClan cats, following Dustblaze, jumped down, all the way to the ground using the columns that shot from the ground. Once Snowflake, the last cat, was down; the rocky steps sank back to the ground. Blazestar scoffed, "Show-off kittypets." Before leaping down and using his wings to land a safe landing. I followed, still a little dazed.

The patrol led us through mazes and mazes of rocks and boulders before finally, we came to a massive rock, bigger than any I'd seen before, blocked our path. Instead of turning another way, the EarthClan patrol planted their paws firmly on the ground. Then, all in unison, they rose one paw and the boulder slowly lifted, revealing a busy camp. No one took notice of a floating rock bigger than the whole Clan.

"Go." Dustblaze glared at us and we hurried inside. The boulder slammed back in place with a bone-rattling BOOM.

"Shiftstar!" Dustblaze's yowl froze all the cats. All in one movement, three cats had cornered the kits and built a wall around them and the nursery. All the EarthClan cats seperated, either to one side of the camp or the other. I looked at all of them, surprised I could see in the blocked-off camp. EarthClan was really weird. A large white she-cat with brown splotched appeared from a hidden den.

"And what have you brought me." Shiftstar's voice was rough and rocky, just like her cats. Her brown eyes raked us.

"There was a disturbance on our peaceful moor; an earthquake." Blazestar explained, his yellow eyes expressionless and his body stiff. I wonder what was up with him.

"Ah." Shiftstar's claws were unsheathed and she was glaring at Blazestar but there was something under that phony glare...

"We chased off a fox. Ran into DarkClan territory." She flicked her tail dismissively, already turned around... But... Did she just flick Blazestar's ear, just the slightest brush. I looked at my leader and his gaze was bright and hopeful as he opened his mouth, then his eyes darkened and his mouth became a hard line.

"Very well. SkyClan, lets go." Blazestar turned abruptly and padded toward the entrance, which had been opened. Just as the boulder started lowering itself, I caught sight of Shiftstar looking at us with a pained look in her eyes.

The flight back to camp was uneventful, and we landed safetly. The sun was just setting, and Blazestar called a meeting to confim that everything was okay with EarthClan... But he seemed distracted. I was so curious, I went to Fallwind (after checking on Pearlpaw first, of course). I padded over to a patch of heather and moss (we DID scavenge some moss once in a while) where Fallwind, our only elder, was grooming her pelt. "Fallwind," I mewed, sitting beside her as she laizly eyed me "Whats up with Blazestar and Shiftstar?"

"Mmm." Fallwind croaked, shifting in her nest. "Well there once was a young Blazesky and Shiftrock. Silly fools, fell in love."

"What?!" I exploded. "But they're in diffrent Clans! And they're leaders!"

Fallwind glared at me. "Shush up, young one."

"Sorry." I whispered and let her continue.

"They couldn't help it. Met every night in a small den Shiftstar made for them. Thats where she found out she was having kits. Couln't tell anyone 'bout them, of course. So had a rough, deadly birth. Blazestar tried to help... Only two survived." I flattened my ears. "But StarClan was angry. They cursed their two little kits, and they both died. The message was clear: you can't be with each other. Blazestar left to his Clan, Shiftstar to hers. StarClan took pity, and it was true they were destinied to be leader. Foolish Blazestar, hopping to EarthClan every chance he gets to see Shiftstar..." Fallwind sighed and curled up, clearly dismissing me. I padded away, wondering if Blazestar could ever be happy...

Just a glance into Blazestar's past and into EarthClan too!

Please reveiw! :D And suggestions are appreciated
