Okay, let's do this. Sadly, I lied when I said I wasn't slacking. I'm going to get this out there so you know it's not abandoned. I've also been trying to get my motivation back, and some of the people here made it stronger than ever. Thank you, readers. You made this possible. I wrote part of this a while back, but it's time to finish this. Sometime soon I'll go sorting out the allegiances. Not taking more submissions for now. I'll probably take more later, but I'm going to have a hard time updating it as it is. I'm going to update some of the other chapters for better grammar, and fix spelling.

Arcticpaw's POV

Arcticpaw woke up in the middle of the tundra, in the middle of a snowstorm, next to a sparkling cat. "W-what? Starfur what happened?!"

Starfur's head turned to face Arcticpaw, and she smiled softly. "I had to get both of us out of there after you freed me. Remember when I said I had something to give you?"

Arcticpaw recalled that moment with some effort because his mind got foggy. "Yes, but why me?" I don't know why this cat trusts me so much... We just met yesterday!

"I'm trusting you because you helped me. You helped me even if it risked your life," said Starfur, her eyes gleaming. I guess I did risk my life... Arcticpaw thought.

"Ok, but what do you want to give me?" responded Arcticpaw, his paws twitching in the cold. Starfur slowly smiled and reached out her arm, something shiny in her paw.

"I need you to keep a bit of information, something that not many cats know. The first bit is that there is more than one light stone, and I have one. It bonds to the holder, but It recently unbound. It is bound to you. I need you to take it because, well, that means your more worthy of it than me." Starfur thrust the stone in her paw into Arcticpaw's paws. (that's a lot of paws)

"W-WHAT?!" Arcticpaw said, totally shocked. Starfur looked into Arcticpaw's eyes, definitely being serious.

Starfur then continued to speak, with the rest of her information. "The other bit of information is where Shinetail and the others are. I and Shinetail have a secret connection that can share our thoughts. They went over to MoonClan territory, and are trying to find someone trustworthy to give a different light stone."

Arcticpaw was lost now, but he tried to understand it as much as possible. "Do you want me to go get them?" Starfur nodded her head and spoke.

"I need you to protect this stone, and you should go to MoonClan to find the others. I have to go, or else they will catch me, but first..." After finishing, she tapped Arcticpaw on the head, and a shock went through him.

He tumbled onto the snow and started to get a headache. "Farewell Arcticpaw, and may we meet again in the future." She turned and ran into the snowstorm.

"W-Wait!" Arcticpaw hissed. He clutched the stone, and tried to get up, but stumbled while trying to get up. He sank and closed his eyes, given up on trying to follow.

He waited there for a while, hoping she'd come back. Counting the heartbeats, and each one felt like a moon...

A sigh behind him caught his attention. Blizzardblaze sat behind him, staring into his eyes. "Arcticpaw, why are you out here?"

He quickly caught a yelp of surprise and tried to think of an excuse. The stone disappeared, but somehow, he knew he still had it it was just a feeling, but he was sure of it. "I-I got catnapped by a strange cat...and was too tired to try and go back..." Blizzardblaze stood, and turned around.

Sensing...something, he smiled. "Seems like your...paw... got injured. I'll drag you back to camp. We are going to have to get you somewhere safe." He gripped Arcticpaw's scruff and started to carry him in what Arcticpaw hoped was the direction of the camp.

A while later, they arrived. "Please go back to the apprentice den. We will do some more training tomorrow. Please tell me if you see the cat that cat-napped you." Arcticpaw nodded, and Arcticpaw "limped" off.

Arcticpaw shifted to walking through the damp underground camp when nobody was in sight, searching for his den. It would take some time to get used to not sleeping with Whitekit. Contrary to popular belief, he did actually like her. It's just that he doesn't want anyone to hurt her.

He finally found the right den and trotted into it. Weird, nobody was in it. He slowed his pace, sensing something was wrong. His head started to ring, and he meowed in surprise. The last thing he saw before passing out was Blizzardblaze standing in the entrance.

What's with Arcticpaw and getting knocked out?

Other stories were edited for grammar and spelling. Things should sound better.

Special update: When I came into this site, it was to improve on what I thought was my terrible writing. Your support is the reason I didn't quit. It's the reason I came back. I...want to thank everyone who has commented thus far. You've helped the story and helped a life. You see, I seem optimistic most of the time, but I can get serious. This isn't a joke. Thank you, for playing a small part in saving a life, and a large part in saving a mind.

If you want to know... More, then I guess I can tell you in the next chapter. Still, I really do appreciate every one of my readers.
