Here's chapter 37! Have you guys noticed that I haven't been doing that many disclaimers…..I just did. I really ought to start doing them again. Just to start a conversation: have anyone of you ever heard of Pink Floyd before? If you haven't (because you weren't born yet when they existed) than ask your parent/guardian about them. They'll know…BEST BAND EVER! I like their albums Dark side of the moon and The Wall the most. *sigh* Pink Floyd….so coooooool. Just don't like choose them as role models…don't ask.
But anyways, if you want you could look them up on YouTube. Here are my favorite songs: Money, Another Brick in the Wall, Hey you, and Comfortably Numb.
Yup…..Oh yeah, the disclaimer! Hmmmmm…Oh, I got it!
Sometimes when I write this fanfiction I wonder if a fanfiction could ever be published to the public. And I would think about how the true authors (*ahem*…Erin Hunter) would deal with it. Would we have to put their name in front? If we did then how would I be included? I would still want credit for my characters….and the actual storyline…And vice versa.
o.k….that was my disclaimer.
BTW! I would like to thank Muffinpaw, Guest, Crystalmoon12345 and Muffins Taste Nice for reviewing! It's great to have a supporting review now and then to lift my spirits. And I'm sorry if the story has gotten somehow confusing…..I really ought to revise and edit the beginning. And a traffic stat thingy is a chart that shows you how many people have been reading your story, and were in the world, and when…it's like a big line chart. It's really cool…..
Thanks again you two! If you have any more questions at all feel free to ask!
ON WITH THE STORY! () ()
Bright light….triangle….rainbow….. (Only people who know Pink Floyd know what that means… (=0.0=)

Rainclaw was the one who found her. It was the usual morning routine. He and Griffinstar were always the first two to be up. Usually he went into her den to wake her though she never really needed to…she was always already there, waiting for him. But that morning after the Gathering she was still sleeping. She was so peaceful-looking yet Rainclaw could practically feel her fatigue in the air. He gently put his cool nose on the very tip of her ear; that would work. She did not stir, she did not acknowledge that she even felt him there, she didn't even twitch her ear the way she always does. How strange? Perhaps he ought to try later….? No, something was wrong. She was joking with him…that's what she was doing. He chuckled out loud to himself.
"All right Griffinstar you can stop now…..seriously….."
.…
"Griffinstar…."
…...
"Griffinstar…..….Griffinstar….!"
…...
Her flank did not move in its usual steady rhythm. In fact it did not move at all. His eyes went wide. He didn't dare breath. His strong legs shook and almost gave way under him. Breath came hard through his nose. This couldn't be happening. He gently bumped his head against her flank…..she would not comply.
"GRIFFINSTAR!"
No she would not.
Why?
She's dead.
No…..
I'm sorry
No….you're wrong….
Give it up
…..shut up….
No…..
Shut up!
She's dead…
SHUT UP!
She's dead!
"SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!"
Other cats crowded the leaders cave. Their confused words were drown out by Rainclaws terrible shrieking.
"SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!"
She's dead….

Griffinstar was so very tired. After all the mouse dung that she has been through she didn't really want to get up. But once again a paw prodded her side and disturbed her dreamless sleep. Its voice echoed through her skull and bounced around like an excited kit that was just told that it was turning into apprentice right now. She vaguely thought about Grasspaw and Harepaw….and what was the other one….Berrypaw…..yes that was it. She hadn't watched them train for a while….wait, didn't she watch a few nights ago…..she couldn't remember. That voice was getting louder and clearer. Oh StarClan, make it stop. Without opening her eyes she gently and softly batted the rough paw away. Playfully…like a kit. She wondered if her kits were all right. Where were they? She wondered if they had gotten home safely. Oh wait, they hadn't gone. Gone were? Oh yeah….the Gathering. Her memory was like an elders mind….forgetful. How had that gone? Did it go well? She was there right? That's probably why she was so tired. Griffinstar reviewed her memory.
Unfaithfulness,
Rainclaw's funny,
Poke fun,
Get down to business,
no more playful teasing,
Aroura followed us?! Give her a pep talk and order her to leave,
running
There's WindClan….they're so nervous today.
Calm down, I didn't mean it like that. I was trying to start a conversation, that's all.
Is that Aroura…..?
Deathglare….
Ha Ha….did you see that look on her face?...that'll show her.
Aroura's in danger here.
Soooo we have been having such great weather, huh? StarClan has been giving us lots of sunshine…
Yada yada….
Aroura better not get too close...
OH, $%##,
Huh?!
What?!
Is that Night back there?
GREAT, that's just great! Now all the clans know.
Rainclaw! Calm down! Stop!
there's that fox dude. Creepy.
So, we cool…?
Home….time to go home…
What happened next?...
I don't know…..
Wind….
"Don't treat me like a kit and ignore me! Wake up! I swear to StarClan if you don't wake up right now I'm going to seriously…..UGH!"
Griffinstar felt a body slam onto her side. Not hard enough to hurt her….but it wasn't exactly gentle either.
Griffinstar grunted loudly and scrambled to her elbows and knees. She wasn't laying down but she was in no way standing or upright. She gulped for air and looked around wildly.
Her double vision was trying desperately to get itself focused. An angry voice pierced her thoughts, though this time it wasn't directed towards her.
"ROBINFEATHER! What in the DF do you think you're doing?! Get out NOW!"
Griffinstar couldn't tell who that was. As her vision lined itself up again she saw the angry figure of Rustfur; tail high in the air and lashing like never before. Herbs were scattered at his paws as if he just dropped them and his teeth bare and his sharp canines were glittering with anger. He was ready to attack. But who had hit her? Robinfeather…? Why would he do that? That impatient little….who was he again?
"You can't tell me what to do! Why don't you go pick yourself some flowers?!"
Rustfur twitched. Griffinstar couldn't see his eyes. Rustfur was her deputy right? No no….he was a warrior. He mentored Grasskit…..no Grasspaw. Or did he use to. Was Grasspaw already a warrior? She couldn't remember his warriors' ceremony…. Maybe he's about to become a warrior. Is it today? She should start thinking of some names. Grassleap,Grassheart, Grassfur, Grass…leap…uhhhhhh…
Grasswillow. That one was catchy.
Why was she dizzy? Her head hurt and the two warriors were still talking WAY too loud.
She laid herself all the way on to the ground again and placed her paws over her ears.
Agh…so loud. Can't they go somewhere else?
She moaned softly and to herself. It sounded kinda like a whine. One a kit would make if its mother told it that they can't leave the nursery to play. She did it again a little louder. She was so confused. Again….louder…..it was more of a long high pitched noise that you don't hear from a discreet leader of a clan.
It wasn't proper.
Who used to say that? Lightheart….and Lightheart was her mother. She an elder right?
"aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAA"
Did the warriors stop? Yes, they did. It was quiet except for her whines. She slowly stopped so that they would know that she could do it again:
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaa"
She slowly cracked open an eye halfway. Paws still over her ears, she looked up to see the two cats staring at her strangely. One of them twitched again. The other seemed plain irritated. And bored…she didn't like that one. There were more cats in the…..cave…..was it the medicine den….that is what it's called right? There were more cats in the den now…oh wait, she already stated that. They surrounded her with looks of worry and relief. They were talking all at the same time. But Griffinstar couldn't hear them. All she could hear was a few muffled sounds against her ear. She recognized them though….That young looking one with the crooked scar was the medicine dog,…CAT! I meant 'cat.'
The one with the reddish brown fur with pretty blue eyes was…her brother…..yeah…he was awesome. Real nice…good with the she-cats. Real smoooooooooth….and uhhhhhh…..that red one with the fluffy tail…..wait that wasn't a cat….that's a fox….wha?...whatever…she was her daughter…..that's how she remembers her. Hmmm…ok…
And that big one there….really taaaaaall.
She was her daughter too right? But her fur was black…..like really black. Giffinstar's fur was light-brown-orange-ginger. Were they talking? Oops, she wasn't paying attention.
"Ehhhhhhh?"
Griffinstar sat up. Or at least she tried too. She did it jerkily. She giggled because the den started to spin.
(AN: She's acting drunk…..all nauseous and dizzy.) She used her back legs to stand up all the way and the giggle never stopping she toppled sideways and hit the den floor. She stopped giggling but the crazy smile never left her face.
She vaguely wondered why her brother was looking at her with that horribly relieved face.
Soooo…..was it was awesome?
Did I trick you in the beginning? I sure hope I did!
This one is one of the longer chapters! YAY! I think it turned out goooooood. But that's not for me to say. That depends on you guys! And by the way: GOMENDASAI!
It took soooo long to update. The chapter took me about two days but with school and all it's been pretty hard. It seems like I get a whole new project every single day. *sigh*
It's not like I blame my teachers or anything. I love my school and I love my teachers. It's just been challenging to juggle school work and Fanfiction at the same time. It's the same old excuse and I'm sure you guys are so angry at me…..GOMEN! And before I forget I would just love to say thanks to those of you who are still reading and to those who have just begun reading! (That means YOU, Muffinpaw, Guest, Crystalmoon12345 and Muffins Taste Nice!)
Thanks again for your support!
ROCK ON PINKFLOYD!
God bless
