Second to last chapter! Oh my gosh! That leaves only TWO more chances fo ryou to review!
Disclaimer: I own ZERO.
Ravenpaw sighed. He hated Twolegs, but he liked this one.
He was curled up in a small, comfy bed. A bowl of a strange, and delicious, Twoleg drink was infront oh him. Moon called it 'milk.'
He was so happy to be given a lift by this Twoleg. This would cut back about a quarter moon's traveling forr them. They would, according to Moon, be at the mountains by sunhigh tomorrow. Then, in another quarter moon, they could reach the Clans!
He had imagnined Firestar's recations to their return in several ways. He would definatley be shocked. His eyes would be louded with emotion. He would gape at them, problay, for a few seconds. Then, he would rush over and pull Graystripe into a hug. He would smile at Ravenpaw, and ask about Dawn.
Ravenpaw's eyes widened as he thought of Dawn. What if the Clan didn't except her? What if they didnt' accept him? What if they didnt' accept them?
"Are you all right?"
Ravenpaw spun around to see Dawn looking at him with concern. Her green eyes were blazing at him. Oh those eye! How he wanted to just fall under theri trance forever. They showed with the light of the sun.
"Just thinking." Ravenpaw sighed. Dawn came over and licked his cheek.
"About what?" she asked quietly.
"Going to the Clans. Being accepted! Us!" he replied.
Dawn purred. "They'll accept you. You'll bring them their deputy back."
"What if they dont think me capable of being a warrior?" he asked slowly. Bone's word of 'apprentice' still haunted him.
"You look like a warrior to me." she purred. "What matters is in your heart, not your name." she added.
"That sounds inviting." he purred. She rubbed her muzzle against his.
"I meant it." she said after a moment of silence. "Earlier, I meant it when I said I loved you."
Ravenpaw looked back into her eyes. "And I meant it when I said it too." he replied.
Dawn didnt reply, only nodded, and they fell asleep.

Stormfur sighed as he gazed out at the moon. It reflected onto the frozen mountains of his home. Sometimes, he doubted his decision to leave the Clans. His father would be disappointed.
The thought of his fatehr opened a wound in his heart. His family... Silverstream, Feathertail, Graystipe... all gone. But now, he had his own family. he glanced over to where Brook was sleeping, their three kits nuzzled close to her.
He walked over and silentley gave them each a gentle lick. First, was Moon of Silver Light, there daughter. She reminded Stormfur of his mother. Then, there was thier other daughter, Feather Blowing With Wind. His heart ached as he thought of what Feathertail would say. It is Tribe tradition for the males to name the kits, so Stormfur also got to pick the name for theri only son. Stormfur named him One who Walks with Clouds. This kit stood for all the cats Stormfur had lost, his mother, his mentor, his sister, and his father.
"Are you awake?" asked Brook suddently.
"Just thinking." Stormfur replied to her, licked her on the cheek and gazing happily at Moon, Feather, and Clouds.
"You can't wait for him forever." Brook said quietly.
Stormfur turned away. He knew she was referring to Graystripe. "How can I stop waiting! He's my father!" he hissed.
"I'm sorry." Brook mewoed slowly.
"There's nothing to be sorry for." Stormfur sighed, regaining his cool.
"Yes there is/..." she replied slowly. "I'm sorry about your sister, and your mother, and your father. I'm sorry that RiverClan never really accepted you.." she paused. "And I'm sorry that you stay awake everynight to watch the Moon in hope of your father."
"My life sounds pretty easy, doesn' t it?" laughed Stormfur. Suddently, he heard soemthing.
He leapt up and exited the waterfall, Brook following him. He signaled for her to be quiet.
He could faintly smell three cats, two toms, and a she-cat. They were talking Stormfur bristled. "Go get Stoneteller! Intruders!" he hissed to her. Brook nodded in mild fear and scampered off to the learders cave.
Stormfur bristled and ran out of the shelter. Two cave gaurds nodded and rose their fellows. Stormfur continued to run into the night, until he could see the outlines of the three cats.
"What do you want?" he snarled. "Who are you?" One of the cats laughed.
"Was I that bad of a father?" said the biggest one. The cat walked out infront of Stormfur.
Stormfur gasped.
So, the FINAL chapter will come soon. I love Stormfur, so I thought I'd do his POV of Graystripe's return. I really liked this story, and I have big plans for book 2. Please review; then you'll get your final chapter sooner!
