Okay so last chapter finally introduced some last-minute made up characters. Yes gary has green hair (When I draw male cats,I always put hair on the head, so yeah) Fun Fact: Sunset's original name was Ember. But I felt that would be too much copying so I changed it. I may add in Speckle next chapter, for a little amusement. Mini-Vamp I don't know yet. She's a miniature clone by the way.

JayFeather: Holy StarClan she hit a plot line last chapter.
Me: yeah yeah. I felt it was the right time to officially introduce the enemy.
Dani: About time.
Me: Yeah. Anyway, the readers want the story, and not our chat.
JayFeather: You're the one who adds it in!
Me: DISCLAIM!
JayFeather and Dani: VAMP DISCLAIMS OWNERSHIP!
Me: -.-

It had been a week since Sunset's capture. Business moved on as usual. VampVixen and Danny always had repeated duty keeping Sunset in her little prison. Vamp guarded with a warrior in the day. It was always either SandPath, RedFur, or NightWind. Danny helped at night, usually accompanied by either OceanBreeze, FeatherDrift, or BlueGaze.

The apprentices wanted to help too, but SnowStar had given strict orders to keep the young cats away from Sunset. StormPaw and AzurePaw accepted it, even thought they weren't happy about it. However, DewPaw still tried to sneak towards the cats. She was always caught though, much to her annoyance.

AzurePaw chuckled as RedFur made DewPaw go do something else. "You should just give up."

DewPaw gave an annoyed growl and said "but I want to help!"

StormPaw yawned and walked over. "Well, it isn't going to work. So give it up.

DewPaw looked to the side and mumbled "yeah sure whatever."

VampVixen watched the three apprentices with an amused look. "I understand them wanting to help. But I don't think they quite understand what's going on yet."

RedFur was watching the young cats as well. "No. They don't seem to at all."

"They're young cats with no sense of danger when it's staring them straight in the face" Sunset said. This was one of the first times she's included herself of any of the conversations that went on.

RedFur turned around with a glare. "You even try to hurt any of them, it'll be the last thing you ever do."

Sunset chuckled. "I don't even think I'd be given the chance to try" she said, looking from the apprentices to the kits playing outside the nursery. In a sly tone, she said "cute kittens." It wasn't a nice comment. She looked as if she was forming some plan inside her head. And it set RedFur on edge.

Whirling around, he growled "I'll rip you to shreds if you touch them!"

Vamp and Sunset both jumped back at his tone. Well Vamp wasn't surprised. She figured it was because they were his kits. Smirking, she said "I'd take those words to mind if I were you."

Sunset's look went from surprise to amusement. "Oh no, of course not. I would never hurt a kit. What kind of cat do you take me for?" She wasn't afraid of him in the slightest. 'It's fun to mess with them though.'

Still staring angrily at the annoying rogue, RedFur said "you'd better watch what you say."

Still amused, Sunset replied "whatever." Drifting her gaze to Vamp for a moment, she turned her head away from both and lay down.

"RedFur calm down. She won't be allowed the chance for anything dangerous like that."

"You can never be too careful" RedFur hissed. His anger wasn't directed at her though. He was still upset at Sunset's in-direct threat. Or that's what it seemed to be anyway.

Vamp understood his anger, but yet she had no idea. RedFur wasn't upset simply because his friends had been threatened, which Vamp had only experienced a few times. But she had never experienced what RedFur was having to deal with. Family being threatened. Smiling, she said "Don't worry."

Both were silent after that, and time seemed to pass by slowly. Every so often, one of the two would glance back to Sunset. She always stayed in the same position. Sleeping, turned away from them.

Or they thought she was asleep. She was actually plotting her escape. At night, most of the clan was asleep. But that's why they put Danny in guard duty. So how was she going to get out? Maybe day would be the best time. As long as she chose her path correctly. 'Hurt them and it'll be the last thing you ever do.' 'I'll rip you to shreds if you touch them!' Her thoughts drifted to the nursery. She smiled. No, she wouldn't kill the kits. But stealing one was a tempting thought. 'Come on Sunset. More important things first.'

'She's planning something. I know it. I have too much experience with slightly similar situations' Vamp thought. Except it was usually her who was plotting her escape. But she always had someone to come to her rescue, so she didn't have to plot long. Luna, Lucian, and every so often, Aragthor. But he never paid much mind to the two. 'He really hardly cares.' But that didn't matter right now.

Elsewhere...

SnowStar was on a patrol with DarkCloud. BlossomPool came along, mostly because SnowStar had asked her to. She also took the opportunity to collect herbs that were in need of restocking. 'Why did she invite me though? And if it's about these cats who defy death, why invite DarkCloud?'

"DarkCloud" SnowStar said, breaking BlossomPool out of her thoughts.

"Yes SnowStar?" she asked.

"I wanted to ask you about Phantom."

'So that's why she's here' BlossomPool thought.

DarkCloud got a confused look, but said "I already told you everything I know. Why?"

SnowStar looked at her deputy and said "I met him when I went to speak with StarClan."

"I'm sorry but, who is Phantom?" asked a confused BlossomPool.

"A spirit" SnowStar answered.

"A spirit?" DarkCloud asked. "How do you know?"

"I asked him if he was dead. He said yes. I believe that makes him a spirit."

"Well you certainly got more out of him than I did. What else did he say?"

BlossomPool was now interested. This was the first time she'd heard of him. But, when SnowStar informed her of what StarClan had told her, why didn't she mention him? "Was he actually in StarClan?"

SnowStar shook her head. "No. He was following me while I was traveling there, and he made his appearance when I was done."

"He followed you?" Asked DarkCloud. "Why?"

"He said he was simply curious."

"Where did he come from?" BlossomPool asked.

"He said he's a wandering ghost."

"So you asked him if he was dead. Did he tell you how that happened."

"He said an electric shock from a two-leg object."

"So if he's a wandering ghost, as he put it, then why is he here?"

"I asked that same question. But he got the wrong idea. So not a straight answer for that."

"I see. Anything else?" DarkCloud asked. This was more information than she had managed. Then again, he had kinda disappeared before she could ask much.

"Not really. I asked him to come to the clan with me."

"Why?"

"I don't know. But he refused. After a couple of times asking him, he disappeared into the ground."

"He what?!" BlossomPool asked in a surprised voice.

"He disappeared into the ground" SnowStar repeated calmly.

DarkCloud looked down. "He simply ran into the trees when he confronted me."

Still on her previous question, BlossomPool asked "how in the name of StarClan did he disappear into the ground?!"

"That's not important right now. I keep feeling there is more to Phantom than we know. DarkCloud, you said he knew your name?"

She nodded. It was still bugging her. "Yes." She thought a moment, before adding in "but it makes more sense now. You said he went into the ground, and he can also probably make himself invisible. Wouldn't that be true?"

"Then how could he hide his scent?"

"If he can go through things, could it be possible he did that to hide his scent?" BlossomPool asked.

"Even if he could, it all leads to one question. Why would he be spying on us in the first place?"

"Could it have anything to do with the evil spirit threatening StarClan?" BlossomPool whispered.

"That's what I've been thinking."

"An evil spirit?" DarkCloud asked.

SnowStar nodded her head. "That's what ChillStar said."

DarkCloud sat silent for a moment. "We need to find Phantom again."

"He seems to only appear to us of his own free will. He only makes himself known when he feels like it. He could be difficult to track down."

"Well we have to find him!" BlossomPool said. "Would Danny or VampVixen know anything?"

"They've already been asked. They said they didn't know anything about him."

BlossomPool got a frustrated expression. "Then what are we supposed to do?! For all we know he could be gone! He did say he was just a wanderer."

SnowStar turned to the frustrated medicine cat. "If he's gone, then we'll have to deal with it. There's nothing we would be able to do."

"I guess so" BlossomPool mumbled.

In StarClan...

Eyes bore down onto the three cats, watching them with interest. He smiled as he listened into their conversation. So he wasn't the only odd spirit around here. He wanted to find the other. He thought back to the rogues. They thought they were working in partnership with him. They take over the clans, while he destroys StarClan. But he wanted to rule all three. He would dispose of them when the task was complete.

There were two cats who were supposedly attacked by a glowing cat who fired a green energy out of his paws. This was certainly some information that could prove useful. They would be questioned. He drifted his eyes from the patrol to over IceClan camp. He hadn't really gotten a look at either of the camps recently. He locked his eyes on two cats he didn't recognize. Not to mention one of his pawns had been captured. 'Good going' he thought with amusement. He looked down at the black and red cat. 'Strange.' He turned his gaze from her to the other un-familiar cat. He looked normal, but he could sense something off about him. Something almost spiritual. Making up his mind, he decided he wanted both cats in his custody. He'd have to speak with Gary on this.

He turned his attention to LavaClan camp. Nothing there seemed out of the ordinary, but they seemed on edge anyway. Recent attacks were starting to get to them. The leader seemed troubled, much like the IceClan leader was. But he was sure it was for different reasons. 'This may take time. Master plans always do.' His face darkened as he got a sinister smile.

He directed his attention away from the cats on the land, and looked around him. No cats in sight. They were hiding from him. They were weak spirits. Not much better than the living cats. He closed his eyes and chuckled. 'Then again, all threats until now have been directed to the living. There has never been an attack on StarClan. It's no wonder they don't know how to handle this.' He wondered where they were hiding. Standing up, he went on a search. Messing with these cats was always fun.

Yes. This mysterious ghost cat is a last-minute enemy. I decided to make things more interesting.

JayFeather: *yawns* I'm not interested.

Ignore him. I also wanted to say this. For all of you people who HATE DannyxOC pairings. This is NOT a DannyxOC pairing. Vamp and Danny do NOT get together. Danny still has his love interest directed at Sam. I know when BlossomPool asked about it, it seemed that this would turn out that way. But It doesn't. I promise.
