Chapter Twenty-eight.

Wolfpaw and Rock walked back into camp and dropped off the bird. They went over to the rocks and climbed up them.

"You know... I thought you would catch that mouse."

"How long are you going to let that hang over my head." he said.

"Sorry. I'm just telling you that I thought you would catch it. Starclan, someone cranky?"

"No."

"Then stop acting like it." Wolfpaw pushed him with her shoulder.

"Never."

Wolfpaw rolled her eyes and smiled a little. Rock looked up at her and she laid her head on her paws so they were eye leave with each other. Wolfpaw started to shove him a little with her shoulder.

"What are you doing?"

"Being a goofball."

"Stop it."

"You telling me to stop being me?"

Rock just lets out a laugh. Wolfpaw lays her head back on her paws.

"Favorite color."

"What?" Rock asked picking his head up.

"What's your favorite color?" Wolfpaw said picking her head up.

"Oh. Um..." he looks around.

"Do you have a favorite color?"

"Well... I've always liked blue."

Wolfpaw lets out a small laugh.

"I should have guessed. Mines grey."

"Really?" he says. "Is that why you like my eyes?"

Wolfpaw lets out a little snicker.

"Favorite prey."

"Don't have one." Rock says.

"I don't know which one to choose but I mostly eat mice."

"I would have never guessed." he says.

Wolfpaw puts a paw on his shoulder in a small shove.

"Favorite type of day."

"Sunset."

"Night."

Wolfpaw and Rock kept asking each other questions. Rock asked more deep questions like more personal question that would leave a little awkwardness in the air... but awkwardness never stopped Wolfpaw... sometimes.

...

...

Wolfpaw led Rock back to the medicine den and went back to her nest. Wolfpaw didn't have that same nightmare... but she did have a dream.

...

...

Wolfpaw woke up in the same place where she met Ivypool and the others.

"I'm back? Why?" Wolfpaw asked the clearing.

"Cause we called you here."

Wolfpaw turns around to find Bluestar, Firestar, Dovewing, and Ivypool standing behind her.

"Ivypool!" Wolfpaw said leaping at the Starclan cat. "Bluestar, Firestar, Dovewing! You're all here!"

"Only because Bluestar dragged us here." Ivypool grumbled sitting back up.

Bluestar sent her a stern stare and Ivypool sighed.

"The reason we called you here is because Lillypaw is in danger." Ivypool said.

"In danger? You mean the cat that will fall into the earth?"

"Yes. What else?" Ivypool said.

Wolfpaw kept her mouth closed.

"Anyways the time is coming."

"What? What do you mean?"

"She means Lillypaw's fate is coming soon." Dovewing said coming to sit down next to her sister. "You need to keep a close eye on her Wolfpaw."

"When will this happen?"

"We can't tell you that." Ivypool said. "But it will be soon. Keep a close eye on her Wolfpaw. If she falls..."

"It's the end of the clans." Wolfpaw said looking down at her paws searching for the answers like they were hidden underneath them.

Ivypool nods. The cats then starts to waver and spark like before.

"You're leaving already!"

"You're waking up." Firestar said.

"Keep an eye on her." Bluestar said as the former leaders of Thunderclan disappeared.

"Please don't leave. I still have some questions!"

"No time!" Ivypool said disappearing.

"Dovewing, please!"

"Starclan is behind you Wolfpaw!"

Dovewing disappears and Wolfpaw wakes up.

...

...

Wolfpaw feels a paw prodding her. She opens her eyes to find Sparrowtail.

"Come on. Get up."

Wolfpaw sighs. "Fine."

...

...

Wolfpaw laid in her nest exhausted. Her and Sparrowtail trained all day and guarded the entrance till long after the sun went down. Wolfpaw welcomed sleep.

Earth shall crumble underneath paws.

Wolfpaw's eyes snapped open and she looked over at Lillypaw's nest. Wolfpaw sighed and walked off the the lake.

...

...

Wolfpaw swam out into the lake and dove under. She held her breath for ten seconds before coming back up and floating on her back. She looked up at the stars. It was half moon.

Wow. Wolfpaw thought. Time sure does fly.

Wolfpaw sighed and watched a very thin cloud of mist go into the air. Wolfpaw looked up at the stars. She watched very single one carefully. Wolfpaw new the stars were their ancestors watching them... but Wolfpaw always thought of the dead cats that have died a second death. Wolfpaw came up with a theory on were they went... cause she was sure they didn't disappear forever... or at least she hopped. Her theory was that their soul was scattered across the sky and they watched over the clans... but not able to talk to them... but you could at least feel their spirit near you... either that or they would be reborn just like Cinderpelt.

Wolfpaw sighed and swam back to shore. Wolfpaw wish Starclan would answer her questions. Wolfpaw ran her questions through her head. They would never change.
