Faithblossom: Sorry that I didn't update for so long, and I'm especially sorry for this chapter, it's really, really short, pnly 994 words long, but I just have this really bad writer's block that just won't go away and this was the only stuff I was able to come up with. So, here it comes!

Reviews:

Wavekit: Okay, Wavekit will be one of Dovewing's kits!

Mormeril: Thanks for reviewing! It doesn't matter, I'm just glad you reviewed! Good, you're for NightXStream, glad you think that way! That doesn't mean they'll come together, but I love that couple too, I think they're sweet :) Oh, and I'm not telling you who those mysterious cats were, you must carry on reading the story for that :D

Chapter 11

(Nightpaw's POV)

Meeting Streampaw? Is that really a good idea? Nightpaw sighed. Rowanstar had been terribly angry at Nightpaw for staying out late; Dawnpelt said she had been worried out of her fur. Poppypaw asked where he had been, Littlecloud told him he could have made his injury worse. And since he couldn't tell them he went to see cats from other Clans, he told them that he went to the lake and fell asleep, so Scorchfur told him to never fall asleep at the lake ever again.

Now he was practically asleep on his paws, since he didn't have a wink of sleep yesterday and Snowbird dragged him out to battle training right after he got scolded by his Clan leader and parents and he wanted to meet Streampaw soon so he couldn't go to sleep now either.

Nightpaw sighed again and looked around the camp. He spotted Snowbird sharing a lizard with Shrewfoot, he saw Littlecloud standing in front of the medicine cat den and he saw Whitewater and Snaketail sharing tongues.

Nightpaw rested his head on his paws and tried to think of a reason why he had asked Streampaw to meet him. Maybe I just wanted to know how RiverClan cats live. Maybe I just wanted to spy on her so that we can attack! Maybe, maybe, maybe…

But it was useless. Nightpaw couldn't lie to himself. He knew it wasn't because he wanted to spy; or that he wanted to know how RiverClan cats lived, no, the only reason was because of her beautiful silver tabby pelt, her soft voice and her startling blue eyes.

Nightpaw shook his head to get rid of the thoughts. Stop it! He told himself, she's from another Clan, you can't fall in love!

"Nightpaw?" The voice yanked him out of his thoughts.

He turned his head slightly to see his sister standing behind him. "Hey Poppypaw," He tried to sound cheerful but from the look in Poppypaw's eyes he could tell that he couldn't fool her.

"Mind if I sit?" She asked him quietly.

Nightpaw shook his head and Poppypaw made herself comfortable next to him. "You know, since we were apprenticed, everything's different. We don't talk so much anymore and I have the feelings we aren't even close anymore, even though we were only apprenticed a few days ago. I have the feeling you are hiding something from me. Are you, Nightpaw?"

Nightpaw turned his head away from Poppypaw, he couldn't meet her eyes. "Poppypaw," He meowed softly but then stopped, not knowing what to say.

"So I was right," Poppypaw whispered. "I knew I was right. Nightpaw, I wouldn't tell on you, you're my brother. My only brother. Regardless what it is, I would never tell anyone. If you need someone to talk, I'm here for you." Without waiting for an answer, Poppypaw got up and rasped her tongue across his ear and left him alone in the darkness.

Poppypaw… Nightpaw's eyes followed her until she vanished into the apprentices den and he noticed that by now that Snowbird, Shrewfoot, Littlecloud, Whitewater and Snaketail had gone too and Nightpaw knew it was time for him to go to the island. He heaved himself up and threw some quick glances over his shoulder to make sure nobody was following him and then ran out of camp, leaving his guilt behind.

(Featherpaw's POV)

"Where have you been?"

"I fell asleep at the lake," Featherpaw answered, meeting her mother squarely in her eyes. It hurt to lie to her clan-mates and especially to her family, but she had to, she couldn't tell them she met with three others who weren't even in ThunderClan.

When she came back she got surrounded by almost every cat in her Clan and they all asked her the same question, "Where were you?"

Hazeltail wasn't there, she had been out of camp, looking for her.

"But I was at the shore, I didn't see you anywhere!" Hazeltail meowed sharply and Featherpaw knew that Hazeltail didn't believe her completely.

"Mom, I was underneath a bush," She told her.

Hazeltail sighed defeated and licked the top of her head. "Whatever you say. I'm just happy you came back and that you weren't doing anything foolish." With those words she drew back and gave her a stern look. "Just never fall asleep at the lake ever again, do you understand?"

Featherpaw nodded and Hazeltail smiled. "Good. Now go and get a good night's sleep, will you?"

Featherpaw nodded again and Hazeltail shooed her into the apprentices den. When Featherpaw ducked into the den she got greeted by silence. Thank StarClan, she breathed, not more cats wanting to know where I was.

Featherpaw padded over to her nest and flopped into it, feeling as tired as she had never been before. Shortly after Featherpaw was almost asleep, but then she heard paw steps and knew immediately that her sleep had to wait.

"Featherpaw?" A voice called softly.

Featherpaw lifted her head and blinked surprised. It was Dewpaw. "Dewpaw?"

"Are you okay?" He asked, voice full of concern.

"Yeah, why shouldn't I?" Featherpaw replied stunned. Dewpaw had never taken any real interest in her and had almost never talked to her, not even when they were together in the nursery. They had tussled sometimes, but not very often.

"You were missing and I was worried something happened to you," Dewpaw answered, walking closer to her.

"Worried?" Featherpaw echoed.

"Worried," Dewpaw confirmed.

"But…why?"

"Why? Because I like you, Featherpaw," Dewpaw didn't say anything else, he bend over and gave her a lick, then he took his nest and dragged it over to her. He settled down and began rasping his tongue over her pelt and Featherpaw could feel herself getting sleepier and sleepier, and her eyes began to close.

The last thing she thought was: He likes me, and then warmth enclosed her and then the world around her went black.
