AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA- *me screaming for no absolute reason*

I'm SO SO very very sorry for not posting Chapter Seven sooner! Three reasons: One: I didn't know what to write, two: I am back at school and have dang homework, and three: I didn't feel like writing, I was just real stuck with other things in real life...

Anyways, all of you (might) know by now that the voting for "If Frostheart's Vengeance should stay a Horror Story or go back to a Normal Story" is continuing because there was barely any votes. The deadline for voting is December 15th, if there are still no new votes it will move to December 20th, so on, so on, until I end the voting and make up my mind.

Onto the chapter!

DISCLAIMER: I don't own warriors.

Frostpaw ran through the dark trees of SkyClan territory, and ran straight through the entrance into SkyClan camp, Nightfeather, who was on guard, was fast-asleep still. The stars shone bright in the midnight black sky as she ran.

Frostpaw smelled Blacktail's scent approaching, and she did the first thing she thought of and dove into the medicine cat den. Pineheart woke up and stared at her for a second, then shouted: "Frostpaw! Where were you? I thought you were in your nest-"

"Shhh." Frostpaw interrupted. "Pretend to be asleep!"

Pineheart blinked. "But-"

"Now!"

Pineheart was about to snap back when Frostpaw pushed her into the nest, shoved her tail in Pineheart's mouth, then laid down in her own nest and shut her eyes tight just in time, as Blacktail arrived...

...To find the medicine cat and her apprentice fast asleep.

Blacktail scowled and limped out of the den, his pelt still covered in thorns and deep, fresh wounds.

When Frostpaw was sure he'd left, Pineheart spat Frostpaw's snow-white tail out of her mouth and hissed in a low whisper: "Frostpaw, mind explaining what in StarClan's name is going on?" Pineheart listened in shock as Frostpaw retold Blacktail and Burningtail arguing about something that happened in the past, Blacktail killing Burningtail, spotting Frostpaw, Frostpaw running away to find Comet still alive, and Comet mentioning a kittypet named Zack- who may be able to help Frostpaw- and the fact there must be a third cat in Lunar and Blacktail's evil plans, and then Blacktail attacked Comet, Frostpaw narrowly escaping.

"He's onto me, he'll kill me next like he did to my father and maybe even Comet!" mewed Frostpaw as she finished, her voice full of terror. "I can't do this alone, Pineheart... I don't know what to do, I'm barely even an apprentice!"

Pineheart softly rested her tail on Frostpaw's shoulder. "Frostpaw, I understand this must be hard. But what you need is a plan. There were three things in your story that caught my attention most, and that may be vital clues to the mysteries surrounding my daughter, your father, Blacktail, and Lunar." she paused for a moment, seeming in deep thought. Before she looked back at Frostpaw. "The first thing: why did Blacktail murder Burningtail? I'm Blacktail's sister, and Burningtail was an apprentice when I was a kit. I noticed my older brother Blackpaw friends with Burningpaw, best friends. Like brothers. Until Blackpaw became Blacktail and started sneaking out of camp at night. Burningtail was suspicious, and followed him. After that night, they never were friends again, but instead mortal enemies. You said that they made a deal that had something to do with Burningtail becoming deputy, and a promise Blacktail forced him to make. I have no clue what this deal or promise is, or what is going on with Blacktail and his hatred and jealousy towards your father."

"The second thing that caught my attention was what Comet said: two evil cats can't take over a forest alone, there has to be a third, fourth, maybe even five cats in their schemes. A spy, she said. No, more like a stalker, who is spying on the Clan to make sure nobody knows about Blacktail and Lunar's plan, or maybe a cat who is going to help assassinate cats for Blacktail and Lunar. Who this cat- or these cats- may be, I have no idea." Pineheart sighed. "But, it's best to look out for any possible suspects. They could be in SkyClan, or a rogue or loner, maybe in a different Clan, or in StarClan or the Dark Forest or a ghost like Lunar."

"The third thing that I found most important, was the cat named Zack who Comet mentioned, who she said was a vital resource in these mysteries. I think he may be able to help solve the first two mysteries: who the other cats in the plan are, and maybe some things about Burningtail and Blacktail's hatred. But the surprising thing was that he was Lunar's brother. Nightbreeze. The evil medicine cat, who almost destroyed ShadowClan. Who's brother may be able to help you. But, the most surprising thing: he's a kittypet. A kittypet, like Comet, and like Feather before he became a loner." Pineheart stopped speaking for a moment, as if mentioning her dead, forbidden mate Feather had brought the memories back, crashing down at her like a wave of pain. She broke out of her trance and continued to mew. "I wonder if that's how Comet knew Zack? They were both kittypets. Or maybe when Lunar and Comet were friends, Lunar told Comet about Zack. There are many possible answers for these mysteries."

"So, Frostpaw. I have one mission for you: find out who Zack is, and convince him to help you fight Lunar and Blacktail, and unravel these mysteries. The twoleg place isn't far from here, and it will be risky. Right now, go to sleep, before somebody hears us." Pineheart instructed.

Frostpaw nodded silently, and obeyed. But it was impossible for her to fall asleep, for her mind was still churning as she thought about everything Pineheart had just told her.

Frostpaw heard yelling outside and she was jerked out of her sleepless trance. She ran out of the den to see Blacktail dragging two blood-covered cats into camp.

Oh great StarClan... this can't be happening... Frostpaw thought silently, recognizing the two cats.

Comet and Burningtail.

Both dead.

"We found a pack of foxes on the territory." Blacktail meowed. "Burningtail and Comet sacrificed themselves to stop them, I barely came back alive. Burningtail fell off the cliff into the water, and Comet's throat was torn out, both their deaths in cold blood."

Frostpaw could barely breath, it all came crashing back. Burningtail, her father, the deputy, was dead. And Comet, her loyal best friend, had sacrificed herself to save Frostpaw. Frostpaw looked at her mother Bloomingflower, and Frostpaw felt a sudden stab of sadness. All of Bloomingflower's kits had died to greencough, and she thought her mate had died from a fox, when it was actually Blacktail responsible.

Frostpaw was all Bloomingflower had left.

But Pineheart?... She had nothing. Her mate had died, and so had all her kits. Her brother Blacktail was evil. And Nightbreeze's ghost was out to get her.

That was the last straw. Blacktail and Lunar had to be stopped. Now.

Find Zack and get his help, catch the spy, stalker, or whoever is helping Blacktail and Lunar, and expose their evil plans.

"I took a patrol this morning since Burningtail was missing, didn't smell any foxes when we were looking for him. Found your scent all over the place, though." growled Dustfur. "Near the lake, the clearing, the middle of the woods, by the ThunderClan border... you were missing all night. Would you just deal with a bunch of foxes at midnight? Plus, Nightfeather didn't see anyone go out of camp last night. Right, Nightfeather?"

Blacktail interrupted Nightfeather before they could even speak. "Dustfur, what are you accusing me of? Nightfeather fell asleep on duty!"

Brightstar growled at Nightfeather. "Guess I'll assign a different guard next time... you'll be checking the elders for ticks for a quarter moon as punishment!"

Nightfeather was about to retort, but soon the whole Clan was arguing.

"I'm not accusing you of anything, Blacktail! I'm just wondering why you took care of foxes at midnight and not in the morning, and why there were no foxes!" Dustfur barked.

"Because your nose is going blind, you fool!" Blacktail shouted.

"I was on the patrol, have a great sense of smell, and didn't find anything." Whitefoot grouched.

"I didn't fall asleep on guard!" Nightfeather yelled.

"WHAT IN STARCLAN'S NAME!" shrieked a voice.

Everyone turned to see Bloomingflower, looking like she was about to explode with rage.

"Burningtail and Comet are dead! And you're all arguing about foxes and guards falling asleep?!" she shouted. "Are you all kits? Not caring about death or the fact foxes might still be on the territory!?"

The Clan was silent.

"We don't need an investigation. Burningtail and Comet were killed by foxes and we know that." Bloomingflower hissed. "The deputy is dead. Brightstar will choose a new deputy by sunrise tomorrow, somebody who can hopefully do the job as good as my mate, who sacrificed himself for the Clan. Tonight, we will sit vigil and the elders will bury Burningtail."

"Who died and made you leader?" Mintwing squeaked.

Bloomingflower tackled the young warrior, Blacktail pretended to cry for Burningtail and Comet while the others actually mourned. Pineheart still looked on with a blank expression, staring at her daughter.

When the others eventually left, only Pineheart, Frostpaw, and Bloomingflower were left there. Tomorrow was when Brightstar made her decision for who the new deputy would be.

Frostpaw could only pray to StarClan that it wouldn't be Blacktail chosen for the position. Because that would mean he would be one big step closer to a goal in a plan Frostpaw didn't even know about...

Well, that was short. Kinda.

Well, Pineheart gave Frostpaw a mission. Now I know what to write for the next chapter (sorta).

Lol, it was the scene where Blacktail dragged the bodies in and the Clan started arguing that was completely random, I felt as if I was thinking of the game "Among Us" where the Impostor self-reports (I don't know if many of you play that game, I don't own it nor is this chapter sponsored by it). *Cough* Blacktail reporting Burningtail and Comet's deaths and saying the foxes did it and not him. I dunno if that was the theme I was going for or not.

I was reeeeaaaallly stuck for what to write. Would Frostpaw and Blacktail have a battle before Frostpaw reached SkyClan camp? Would Frostpaw crash into camp at midnight, wake up everyone and scream that Blacktail was in league with the ghost of the evil medicine cat of ShadowClan and pushed Burningtail off a cliff? Don't think many people would believe her, which must've been why she kept her mouth shut, she also doesn't want Blacktail to find out that she is trying to stop him.

Well, due to Pineheart's three missions for Frostpaw, this has now turned slightly into a mystery story.

REMINDER: The voting for if this should be a horror or normal story will continue till December 15th! You can vote in my poll in my profile, send in review, or PM!

Next chapter will be about Frostpaw either finally telling everyone about Blacktail and Lunar or trying to find out who this strange "Zack" cat is! I dunno which she's gonna do first.

Any fan theories about Lunar (AKA Nightbreeze), Zack, Pineheart, Blacktail and Burningtail, or other characters with mysterious backstories? I'd love to hear them!

Please follow, favorite, and review! It would mean a lot to me!
