Whoo hoo! I'm back! Yay! I am so sorry. I was on vacation for a long time. Please don't kill me...
Guest: Thanks! I am going to change Shadowsteak's name to Shadestreak, this is only because Shadow is a clan...
Thunderandshadowcats: Sorry I almost killed you! XD Thanks!
AshfurTheBroken: Nice story idea! But anyway, thanks for the review!
Me - Crowfeather, you are so lucky. You get TWO shout outs.
Crowfeather - YOU THINK I'M LUCKY? YOU'RE MAKING ME HAVE A KIT WITH NIGHTCLOUD AGAIN.
Nightcloud - And what's wrong with that?
Crowfeather - Wait. WHO INVITED HER HERE.
Me - I did. :D
Crowfeather - You fox-hearted...
Nightcloud - Crowfeather, we aren't having a kit.
Crowfeather - Really! :D The relief!
Me - She's right. YOU'RE HAVING THREE!
Crowfeather - X_X *Collapses*
Me - I think we killed him.
Nightcloud - MWHAHAHAHAHA!
Me - O-O
Volepaw's POV
Volepaw paced back and forth around Highledge. What's taking them so long? Lightpaw sat by and watched.
"Calm down. They'll be okay." Lightpaw laughed.
Volepaw glared at her. "I'm trying!"
"They haven't been gone for that long, furball." Lightpaw rolled over.
"I know that! I don't know what else to do!" Volepaw stormed.
"Do you think they'll be alright?" Darkpaw looked at Volepaw. Volepaw stopped.
"Yes. They know how to take care of themselves." Volepaw had calmed down. Lightpaw looked at Darkpaw questioningly, then shrugged.
Shrewpaw jumped around, talking to the queens.
"I'll protect you!" He squeaked, not being the usual shy cat that he was, "Nothing will hurt you at all!"
"Alright Shrewpaw," Cinderheart laughed softly. "We know you will."
Cinderheart and Dovewing settled down, while Volepaw continued to pace.
After what seemed like ages, the apprentices heard something in the camp.
"Bramblestar! Your back!" Came many voices.
Lightpaw and Volepaw ran to Highledge's opening. Then, two badgers loomed in.
"They followed you!" Volepaw launched himself down Highledge and was almost at the badgers when Squirrelflight stepped in front of him.
"Volepaw! This is Midnight, and Sunset. She is a friend." Volepaw glared at his mother.
Midnight's beady eyes seared into Volepaw. He shifted. She moved her head to look at the other apprentices who had come to stand by him.
"Yes..." She said. "Happy I am, but sadness must I tell."
Jayfeather had come padding out of the medicine den, and somehow was able to see where Midnight was. Volepaw sat next to Darkpaw as he padded over.
"What do you think Midnight means?" Darkpaw whispered to him.
"I don't know." Was all he said.
Midnight stared back at Volepaw. "Darkness follows him. Back he has come."
Volepaw looked over to see Lionblaze glaring at him.
"Split he will." Sunset continued. "Watch closely." Then they simply left.
Volepaw was confused. What did she want to know about him?
Sandstorm looked curiously at him, "Darkness follows him?" The other cats looked equally dumb-founded.
"Jayfeather, Leafpool, what does it mean?" Graystripe turned to the medicine cats.
Jayfeather blacked out. "Jayfeather!" Squirrelflight ran to him. "Leafpool help me!" Leafpool was crouching and looking at the Volepaw.
She gasped. "I think we should talk about this at highledge."
"Very well then." Bramblestar said calmly, "Lionblaze, Squirrelflight, Dustpelt, Graystripe, Sandstorm, meet me in Highledge. Leafpool and Jayfeather too."
The cats that were called went with Bramblestar as he swiftly climbed the rocks. The rest of the cats tried to go back to the regular routine. Lightpaw got up, and Volepaw was about to follow when Lionblaze stepped on his tail.
"Ow! Watch where you put your paws mouse-brain!" Volepaw pulled his tail in.
"I know your there Tigerstar." Lionblaze hissed, "We will get you." And with that he stalked off.
What's his problem, Volepaw thought. He then dashed after Lightpaw.
Again I am soooooooooo sorry that I did not update sooner.
To Lionblaze fans: I too love Lionblaze. I just see him as the kind of cat that would do this.
To Jayfeather fans: I love Jayfeather also. He did not die, he just kind of, got overwhelmed by Starclan...
Sunset is my OC, and he his Midnight's brother.
