Hello all! We're back for another chapter of Warriors High! But first responses to reviews.

SunKatt2: Thank you so much! Reviews and feedback are greatly appreciated, and it's always nice to know how others feel about your writing. Yes, Briar x Jay is one of my favourite ships too! There will definitely be some more of the ship, bridging from this chapter to the next, which I will try to get done as quickly as possible.

Ice that falls like snow: Welcome back! Thank you for still reading, even if you don't review. Evil Blossomfall? That's something I'd like to be working with, so soon I'll introduce my take on Blossomfall!

Now on with the chapter!

Cinderheart POV

I took a deep breath in and knocked on the door. There was shuffling on the inside, then Ivypool opened it.

"Oh, hey Cinderheart! How's everything going?" she asked, inviting me in.

"Um, okay. Not bad, I guess. I just wanted to have a, um, quick word with you…" I replied, "alone…" I added, seeing Brindleshade on her bed.

The russet-ginger looked up and nodded, leaving the room quickly. "Thanks," I called out after her.

"What's up?" she asked, sitting on her desk chair and inviting me to sit on her bed.

"There's something I've wanted to mention to you since, um, the time I got kidnapped…"

Her eyes immediately stopped shining, and a serious attitude came over her.

"What is it?" she asked again.

"Urm, when Scourge was questioning me, he managed to get your name out of me, and the fact that you're spying on the Dark Forest…"

Ivypool looked down and I immediately felt a sharp tug of guilt and shame. I risked her life to not get hurt...that's not what friends should do.

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry...I should have not mentioned you...I should've lied…"

But Ivypool looked right back up again, smiling. "Don't be, its fine, don't worry. You've actually done me a favour."

"I have?" I exclaimed, shocked. How could that be a favour?

"Well, they'll want me for questioning soon then, they'll also probably try to ally me. This could be a good time for really twisting information. However...did they get a description of me?"

I shook my head.

"Ah, so it's unlikely then? Smart, wouldn't wanna press it. Don't worry about it then, I should be fine. Thanks for coming clean though, appreciate it."

"No problem."

She smiled, and I immediately felt a lot better. We said our goodbyes, then I left the room, contented.

Jayfeather POV

I sat on my bed and pulled out my phone. I found the power button on the side and pressed it, pressing my finger to the screen and waiting until I heard the 'click' that let me know it was unlocked. Both Lionblaze and Foxleap had gone out, meaning I could get my supplies ready for tomorrow without fifty tricks and wrong answers.

And I could also talk to the phone without looking like a total idiot.

I liked to pack my bag in the early morning on weekends for the next day so I didn't forget and could get on with what I wanted to do. I held the menu button down until I heard the dings, then said to the phone "What's my lesson plan for tomorrow?", a feature that had been installed on my phone so that I could read my calendar and timetable.

"Jayfeather, timetable for Monday the Fourth of November. First Lesson: Chemistry, Second Lesson: Chemistry, Third Lesson: Biology, Fourth Lesson: Physics, Fifth Lesson: Free Period, Sixth Lesson: Maths."

Okay, not too bad. I was glad I had a free period.

"Homework due: Chemistry Assignment, research on alkaline and acids."

Done

"And Maths: Complete questions 81 to 95, section A, Workbook 2."

Also done

"Calendar events for tomorrow: Briarlight's Birthday."

I felt the world fade around me.

Oh crap I haven't got her anything!

Well at least I know what I'm going to be doing today.

I put on my wireless earphones and then switched my phone to the GPS function that I had, that would give me brief updates on where I was. I bolted out of the room and straight down to the lift, feeling the braille on the lift buttons until I located the Ground Floor key and pressed it. It didn't take me long to ride down undisturbed, and I ran out of the lift and turned to head out the front door, hurrying past people as I went. The phone beeped "Main Reception' in my ear and I rushed out of the door, feeling the fresh air on my face.

It had definitely gotten colder, more than just the slight chill of October. Winter was coming, even if December was the official start. Hopefully people decided to be sensible and I wouldn't end up with a thousand students with colds and coughs. I mean, just the occasional idiot was fine, it made my life slightly interesting, but dozens? All not too badly affected? All over-exaggerated, like drama queens?

Yeah no

I listened to my phone as I hurried down the familiar stairs, holding onto the rail just in case. I knew that all the shops I might need to check were on the left side, so I began jogging over that way. The GPS let me know when I ran past the florist, the cafe, the school supplies shop, until I got to where I was supposed to be.

I knew exactly what I needed.

Nightcloud POV

The gap between the locker and the wall was extremely small, but -just like I'd been told- there was definitely something beyond it. A part of the school with weaker walls than the rest, too dangerous for the students to use. It was blocked off by a wall and lockers before I started Warriors High, but had not been demolished yet. And now it served a very, very dark purpose. Someone found a way in this year. Someone off the radar, someone who lived here, but didn't go to Warriors High.

Scourge

He brought his 'Clan' and he settled them in the abandoned corridors in this area of the school. They had access to the vents and could leave at any point. Then they discovered that because the main foundations were all strong, this wall was unnecessary and weak. They managed to break it, and that quickly became the quick entrance into the school.

And that's where I stood.

I tried to drag the locker over to the side, and to my surprise it soundlessly rolled across with some effort. I entered, walking as quietly as possible and closing the gap behind me. I tried to bring myself up to my full height and let confidence shine through, but as I strode silently through the abandoned halls, a feeling of dread and fear crept up my spine. I knew they were armed, and I knew they didn't like intruders. I knew they didn't usually open their arms to students and strangers.

But it was worth a shot.

I'm doing this all for Crowfeather. My only, one true love. We went through a period where...he did love me. Well and truly. But then he met Leafpool, and he began to drift away. I knew he loved her, who couldn't? She was so sweet and beautiful. I became more desperate, trying to become the hot sassy pretty girl who everyone wanted to kiss, kill or be. I became fashionable and popular. But this wasn't what Crowfeather liked. He snapped at me, broke up with me in public. I knew I had to be the old me for him to like me again.

But I loved the new me more.

So now the only way for me to win back Crowfeather was to become his only option. Sure, there was also Feathertail, that River girl, but they were mostly just two love-lifeless crushes in second grade. I doubt if he had to choose between her and me, he'd choose her. And what about Leafpool?

Well, no one would know. They'd never find her.

"And who might you be and why are you here?"

I heard the voice behind me and spun around, tensing. There was a skinny but muscled boy standing behind me. He looked around my age and was a couple of inches taller than me. His green eyes were narrowed and bronzy hair ended above his neck. He wore a black hoodie, and the traditional dog-tooth collar was around his neck, dark blue and sporting four teeth.

"What business do you have...breaking into our territory and strutting around like you own it?" he hissed, "Are you a Dark Forester, coming to beg for our aid while learning our tricks? Well you can run away, back to Tigerstar, and tell him-"

"I'm not with the Dark Forest," I interrupted, "or the Sly Foxes either. I'm not in any gang. I came of my own accord. I need to speak with your leader."

He raised an eyebrow. "How do I know you're not lying? Or did you really come here without an allegiance? What do you want, to join us? Or just to beg a petty favour? Oh well, I'd better take you to Scourge."

Without another word he walked past me, and I followed, trying to learn the route. We passed more and more BloodClan members on the way, and I tried to ignore their watchful eyes as we passed. Their gazes still managed to burn through my confident demeanor and scorch into me. It unnerved me, but I continued to appear powerful.

When we got further in, a tall, broad-shouldered boy with black-and-white hair came up to us, flanked by a boy that looked almost identical to the one leading me and a slender girl with russet hair and burning green eyes, as well as jeans that were so ripped around the legs it defeated the purpose of wearing them.

"Hello, Copper. Who's this you've brought with you?" the lead boy asked, narrowing his eyes.

"Bone. I found her walking down the hall by the entrance. She claims that she has no allegiance and wants to speak with Scourge." he replied.

"Is that so?" 'Bone' asked, "I'm sorry, but we're not after new recruits."

"I don't want to join you." I persisted, "I just need to speak with Scourge."

"What for then, requests?"

"I can offer payment."

Bone sighed. "Well, you can go and see him, but don't expect to get what you're after. Bronze, Kara, escort her please."

I'm then briskly led into another room, where a few BloodClan members are sat around, all cautiously watching the person in the centre of the room, who looked up as we entered.

Scourge

Like I was told he was short. However, I could see how strong and swift he must've still been. His eyes were a cold, ice blue, and his hair was jet black with a single white tip. A selection of blades lay around him, and he was sat on a table.

"Greetings. I've been told Bone sent you in. What is it you want?" his voice was high-pitched, but cold and sharp.

"I came to ask a favour. I can pay any way you like." I announced, hoping my confidence lasted.

"What is the favour?"

I took a deep breath. So far so good.

"I kind of need you to, ah...kill someone."

Pause

"No."

Immediately the people surrounding Scourge got to their feet, unsheathing knives and advancing towards me. I backed away, holding up my hands, courage draining. Fear finally broke the wall.

"W-wait! E-even if I c-could just trade something for a blade! Anything! Money, an object, information...please don't kill me."

I shielded my face as they formed a circle around me, continuing to close in on me.

"Wait."

I risked a glance as Scourge spoke again. The members had stopped moving toward me, and had turned to face their leader. He had sat forwards.

"I can offer you a knife. However in return you must tell me all you know about an… 'Ivypool'."

I smirked, confidence growing again.

"Gladly."

Muahahahaha

Anyway, just wanted to know if you guys think I should delete or rewrite chapter 2 (Llama Transportation). It's one of the earlier ones, and not my favourite chapter I've done. Anyway, see you next time, thanks for reading!
