Only 885 words. I know. I'm sorry! *sits in corner of shame.* but I've been busy! I had softball, piano, schoolwork, ISTEP (Indiana state test something something) and it's all super stressful, and I don't have a ton of time to write! *sits down* Alright, now that I've ranted enough, thanks to:
WhiteWinterStar: Thank you :) And I do too... I feel mean, torturing him, but it must be done! (okay not really, but I'm still doing it! XD)
Brokenjay: I do too! But I have like four more cats to use. :P And yeah, I thought this was kind of strange, but... idk. I liked it, and since I'm writing xD
xXJayfeatherXx: Thanks :) and yeah.
Pale-eye: Lol thanks. Wow that is tired.
My name is swansong: Me too! And your cat sounds cute, but evil. Lol
Hawkholly: You didn't cry when Dobby died? Lol neither did I. XD lol I wanted to cry cuz I felt like I was attacking a kitty then my cat came in and I petted him and I felt better. ^-^ And I think I'll be able to fit Crystal in somewhere, but she'll most likely live with other cats.
Spottedfern: Yep, there;s more! ^-^ Lol thanks!
Shinx is epic: Wow that is tired lol. that stinks. Lol SAME! Love Jay, Hatefully love Breeze. ;) xD
Mariogirl133: Lol OMG you ran an 8K? Lol I can barely run a mile. I'm impressed. Lol I will definetly (MISSPELLED!) use her! The Spanish name thing gave me an idea. I wanna make her Spanish. (like an accent) Here's an example. ("Hola, amigos." A cool voice said softly. "Are you lost?") or something like that. I {think} Spanish people don't really call everyone amigo, but I like it. xD Oh, and please don't be mad if I don't use her soon, I'm still trying to figure out what order to bring in new characters! I just need to get all the details, so that once I'm ready to use them I have all the info. :)
Hawkpath: Lol I'm sorry. Okay, thanks. Lol I feel like I MUST fit all the cats in, because if I don't I'll feel like I left someone out! Thank you! Lol
Hawkholly: Cool! Lol I have yet to Google it, so yeah. lol all I know of this game is from what my reviewers have told me! And lol it's fine. I don't mind. ^-^
Wildstep: Thank you (x2!) 1 for the review and for reading my story, and the second for reminding me! Lol I forgot about your story, and I went back and you'd added like three chapters. Naturally I was extatic. (MISSPELLED!) xD Lol *Uses big annoucer voice* EVERYONE READ WILDSTEP'S STORY! IT'S REALLY GOOD! :D
Leopardheart: Lol ikr? Haha yay you caught him! (her?) And lol. I think a lot of those quiz just throw everyone in Hufflepuff, because I took one once and it said I was a Hufflepuff. I'M A RAVENCLAW! Lol
A Beautiful Beast: Lol ik! She's a total Mary Sue. xP L.O.L. Me. Too! Lol I don't think marrying stories is legal, but thanks! :D Lol I already knew I was crazy! Why must everyone remind me all the time? Lol ;)
Sunblaze: It's okay. :) *hides sharpened knife* (jkkkk lol) Riolu is soooo adorable! :3 Lol
XSpiritwingX: Ik! But I can understand why he's depressed, I mean he lived in a cave with no other cat for company for like three moons. Poor Jayfeather.. And thank you! I love when people like my writing! :) I'm glad I can show people the emotions that are meant to be felt, sometimes I feel like I'm not expressing it enough. :)
WatercolourRainbow: Aw get well soon! And thanks! Nutella? *Jumps at and steals nutella and runs away* MINE! xD
Bookdancer: Thanks! I like your username. :)
authorwannabe101: Thanks! Lol I feel like I stand out as that crazy girl who tortures her favorite cat. ;) Lol
FeatherThatFloatsInTheBreeze: Thanks! Lol me too. Spot was originally a bunny for another very differnet story, but then she became a cat. lol :3
mossstripes: Lol wow. Lol I don't cry over spilled milk. I DIE over spilled milk. O.O Lol xD *Spills milk* NOOOOOOOO! :'( lol xD
Hollystorm : Thanks! *grins and runs away, screaming in joy* (read the bottom AN at the end. You'll understand. :3
Leopardheart: Okay! :) Lol
withcsoul531: Lol I love torturing cats. In stories. NOT REAL CATS! I love me kitties. *hugs all five of my cats at once* Oh. I might read them, but now I'm a little scared lol. xD Lol yeah! Besides, Life probably stole the lemons anyway. ;)
Okay, now I'll let y'all read...
Just kidding! Lol... Okay, I just have a tiny mistake to fix. In chapter 13 Jayfeather says that the clan still has Leafpool, but in chapter 10 it is clearly stated that she's dead. Lol no one noticed this, but I did. So yeah. Just so you know... lol (this is mostly for me, when I go back at the end and fix all my little errors.) Okay, NOW you can read. :)
Breezepelt and Jayfeather flinched at the same time, and Breezepelt stalked away. Jayfeather followed, Breezepelt's thoughts echoing in his mind.
Stupid.
Pathetic.
Worthless.
Worthless…
Hollyleaf watched in froze horror as Jayfeather yowled again, a spasm taking over his body.
"What's happening? Why isn't he awake!" Lionblaze hissed angrily, pacing. Hollyleaf watched her pacing brother for a moment, his fear scent clogging her nose.
"Calm down!" Cinderheart snarled, turning towards her mate. "I have no idea what is happening to him, okay? If I knew I'd be doing something!" Tears filled her eyes, threating to spill over.
"Cinderheart." Hollyleaf said suddenly, her emerald eyes filled with determination. "We need water. Where's Dovewing?"
"She was afraid. I told her it was okay for her to go." Cinderheart said, shaking her head.
"She… She'll hear us." Lionblaze said. "She isn't a coward. She's listening." He turned his muzzle to the sky. "Dovewing, we need poppy seeds and water! Hurry!"
The she-cats exchanged a skeptical glance, but neither said anything.
"I'll see what I can do for now." Cinderheart said softly, turning back to her patient. Hollyleaf followed her and ran her tail along Jayfeather's side.
"Please be okay, brother." She whispered. "We can't have come all this was just to watch you die."
. . .
Hurry!
The words echoed in her mind as she ran, her tail flying behind her like a grey banner.
Hurry!
Her blue eyes searched frantically, stretching out and raking the trees for poppy seeds and a water source.
Hurry!
Finally, she found it, a large clump of poppies and a small stream. She ran as fast as her legs could carry her, her paws barely touching the ground. Quickly, Dovewing tore off a batch of poppies and set them to the side. Then she scanned the stream for moss. She found some, growing on the side of a tree. Pulling the spongy plant up expertly with her claws, she shoved it into the water. She bent down to pull the water moss out of the icy stream, when a short yellow plant caught her eyes. Dovewing blinked and looked up. About a tail length from the opposite shore was a large cluster of small gold flowers.
Marigold… She thought, looking at the plant. She took a step forward, then hesitated. Lionblaze hadn't asked for marigold, just water and poppy seeds.
So? She thought heatedly. He doesn't know everything! And marigold will keep infection out. Dovewing hesitated again, then leaped across the stream and bit off a clump of marigolds.
Satisfied that she'd done the right thing, Dovewing scooped up the wet moss and poppy seeds and sprinted off in the direction of the Twoleg den. With any luck Jayfeather would be fine.
. . .
The fever came fast and sudden, striking him like an adder. It had waited for the precise moment to attack, watching for the moment when he was at his weakest, when he was the most vulnerable. Then it came, filling his body like a poison, until he just wished it would end.
Why Starclan? He moaned silently, the pain keeping his eyes closed. What have I done to deserve this? I followed your instructions, word for word! What have I done?
Another yowl escaped him, and he trembled, but not from the fever. He waited for the pain that usually followed when he showed that he was hurting, but it didn't come.
Of course not…He thought blankly, barely taking in his own thoughts. You aren't with Breezepelt anymore…
Jayfeather put his muzzle back on his paws, silently begging for the relief that would not come.
. . .
"You heard us!" Hollyleaf said in surprise as Dovewing came barreling through the window. She didn't reply, because if she did the moss and herbs would fall. Instead the grey she-cat leapt down the stair of boxes as quickly as she could. Finally, she reached them and dropped the herbs, breathing heavily.
"I brought… marigold too…" She panted.
"Great! You did perfectly." Cinderheart said, but Dovewing could see right through her calm shell. She knew inside the she-cat was panicking just like she was.
"If any cat can save him, it's you." Dovewing said firmly, looking the other she-cat straight in the eye. Cinderheart nodded, soaking in the confidence of Dovewing's gaze. Then she turned.
"Jayfeather," She whispered, probing his side gently. His eyes opened slowly, and he looked at her, his eyes wild.
"I'm sorry…" He muttered hoarsely, his eyes glazed slightly.
"It's okay." Cinderheart said gently.
"No it isn't!" He wailed, trying to sit up. "It's my fault!"
Cinderheart, unsure of what he was talking about, said quietly, "Jayfeather, calm down. You haven't done anything, and you're sick. You need to rest."
He hesitated, then obeyed, mumbling, "I deserve it."
"No you don't." Cinderheart insisted, and before he could argue, she pushed poppy seeds in front of him. "Now eat these." She commanded.
Jayfeather sighed, but obeyed again. Lionblaze turned, unable to watch anymore. Instead he padded over to Dovewing and Hollyleaf, who were talking quietly. Lionblaze sat next to his sister and put his muzzle on his paws.
"At least he's alive." Hollyleaf said softly, licking his ear comfortingly.
"Barely." Dovewing muttered sadly.
Lionblaze shook his head sadly. "He's not living," He said grimly. "he's existing."
Okay, sad ending. I think atleast lol.

Okay, so here it is. The FIRST EVER Honored name. This one was super hard, because there were a bunch of really good reviews, but I narrowed it down to four. 1.

XSpiritwingX because she told me exactly what she liked about the chapter, and 4. WatercolourRainbows because she gave me nutella ;) Oh and she also told me what she liked baout the chapters. lol
