Tye Dye tail- Good guess
Rainpool777- Thank you, here is an update
Mossfire (guest) – He's just looking out for his sister lol, but ya Bluestorm is somewhat of a mouse-brain. Well, nobody complains so far for the short chapters so yay. If you use the search thingy in fanfiction, there is four options I think; author/writer (the one you should use), story, forum, and community. If you don't search with the fanfiction thingy and just use google or whatever you use, it should still show me, so idk what the problem is lol. I'm not much of a computer specialist.
BraveWolfScourge- Bluestorm is just worried about them. What if they get caught, Snowstrike could get killed or something.
Yay reviews! Thank you people (:
ON WITH THE CHAPTER
…
Snowstrike's pov
"Wake up," I groaned slightly and opened my eyes. "What," I snapped at Whiteheart, who was the one who woke me up. "In case you have forgotten, today is the day we have to leave," she said, faking anger. She smiled and nudged me again. I huffed and sat up.
"Come on, Specklefrost wants to give us orders on who to help out," Whiteheart said from outside and I quickly padded outside. What awaits us in the Abandoned Forest? I followed Whiteheart to Specklefrost. Frozencloud was killed by Fang, Specklefrost was chosen as the new deputy.
I closed my eyes and flattened my ears. We now only have six warriors and two queens. "Bluestorm and Cloudshadow, you will help Leafstone with the herbs," I heard Specklefrost and I sat by Whiteheart. Bluestorm and Cloudshadow both groaned at the same time and they began padding to Leafstone.
"Snowstrike, Whiteheart, Goldenhawk, and Glacierstone, you will help the kits and queens. Their safety is very important to the clan," Specklefrost said. I stood up and padded over to the nursery. Rainkit, Silverkit, and Stonekit were talking excitedly next to Iceflower and Midnightkit, Mosskit, and Cloverkit were running in small circles by Silversnow.
"Is everyone ready," Glacierstone spoke up first and made the kits stop. "Come on," Mosskit yowled excitedly and raced by us, the other kits following. I smiled slightly and padded outside. A cold wind blew by, as if wishing us a safe travel and a good bye.
I purred slightly and scented the air. I saw Icestar sitting near the entrance of camp with Specklefrost. She didn't seem excited or happy to leave. Midnightkit and Stonekit were talking excitedly about the travel. "Is everyone ready to go," Specklefrost yowled when Leafstone, Bluestorm, and Cloudshadow padded out of the medicine cat den with various herbs.
Everyone looked at each other; the kits squealed excitedly and ran around. "Then let us begin our travel," Icestar said, her hung still low. She took in a breath and raised her head, taking one last glance at the camp before leading us out.
We went around camp, leading us directly towards the Abandoned Forest. I let out a short breath and looked behind my shoulder, towards the mountains. "Come on Snowstrike," Mosskit squealed and ran ahead of me. I shook out my fur and ran after her.
We didn't stray too far from the group. I grabbed her by her scruff and skidded to a stop. She was giggling and I laughed through her scruff. I carried her back to the group and we all continued ahead.
….
Toadstar's pov
"Let us leave now," I yowled. We were going to meet up with Hailclan on the border with the Abandoned Forest. Sootear and Palestone helped Flowerpool with Echokit, Leopardkit, and Dovekit. Both Palestone and Duskcloud are going to be the first queens at the Abandoned Forest, and the kits will be the first born there.
"Toadstar," I heard Duskcloud call. I looked over my shoulder and saw her trotting up to me. She nuzzled me and purred. "Can I travel up here with you," she said and twined our tails together. I smiled and nuzzled her. "Of course you can," I purred and licked her ear.
Mudstorm, Shadestone, and Stripesky were helping Redflower with the herbs. "I thought you were supposed to help with the kits," I looked at Duskcloud. "I am, Palestone will tell me when it is my turn," she said and glanced behind her.
We traveled for a while in silence. The fog was thin and spaced out a lot, and trees were spread apart as well. I felt unguarded without the protection of the thick fog and bunched up trees. Everyone else did as well, because the kits were picked up by Flowerpool, Palestone, and Sootear, and everyone was coming closer together.
Duskcloud kept her ears perked and her fur was bristled up next to me. "I think we should stop and rest here for a while," I spoke up, making everyone jump slightly. "Duskcloud, Mudstorm, and Stripesky, you three go hunt, Palestone and Sootear, help me protect the kits, queens, and Redflower," Shadestone began giving orders to everyone.
I licked Duskcloud on the ear before she left with Stripesky and Mudstorm. Redflower sat by Flowerpool and the kits, who were ordered to stay close to their mother. "Toadstar, a quick word," Shadestone padded up to me. I nodded and we walked a little closer to a tree.
"Do you know if we are going the correct way," he said and sat down uneasily. "I am certain, the less fog and trees, the closer we are to the border, which is the Abandoned Thunderpath, then, we cross it, and we enter the Forest," I said and lashed my tail.
"If we begin moving again soon, we can make it to the border where Hailclan will be waiting for us by dawn tomorrow," I said before he can tell me anything else. He closed his mouth and nodded slightly. "This is a new experience for all of us, it will be a difficult finding enough space for a camp, and we also have to learn how to hunt prey in that forest," Shadestone said.
"I understand your concern for your kits, don't worry, everyone will be well-fed," I said reassuringly. He sighed and began padding over to Flowerpool. I stayed by the tree and leaned against it. If only Miststar was here, she will tell everyone it'll be ok, and they will believe her. It's been many moons since we heard or talked about the Abandoned Forest, and now we are moving there.
What will happen after we get settled there? Will we be able to kill Fang? Will we ever return to Fogclan? I closed my eyes and growled. I can't think about that, not with the clan counting on me.
I sighed and began padding over to Shadestone and the rest who stayed. I yawned and layed on my stomach. I began lazily licking my paws. I rested my head on my paws and sighed heavily.
I flicked my ears and the hunting patrol returned. Mudstorm had three pieces of prey, Stripesky had two, and Duskcloud had two as well. I sat down next to Duskcloud. I took a bite of the fish she brought and passed it to her.
She took a small bite and passed it back to me. "Here," I said. She looked at me with concern. "You need it more," I purred and touched my nose to her belly. "Take one more bite," she said. I sighed and took a bite. She smiled and began eating the rest.
I licked my lips and looked at the clan. The kits were playing around near Flowerpool and Shadestone who were eating a toad. I yawned and nuzzled Duskcloud. She layed on her side next to me and purred.
"Everyone is ready to continue Toadstar," Shadestone padded up to me a little while later. I nudged Duskcloud and sat up. She opened her eyes and lifted her head. "Come on," I licked her ear and nuzzled her. She sighed and sat up shaking out her fur.
I licked her cheek and stood up stretching. "Let us continue then," I spoke loudly. Duskcloud stood up and brushed next to me. I twined our tails together and we continued our journey to the Abandoned Forest.

Fang's pov
"This seems like a good place," Smoke said and poked his head out of some leaves. "You expect me to climb up there just to sleep every day," I said and smirked. We ran the whole way here, but we were still full of energy.
"Yes I do, you said I could pick the den when we come here," he smirked back and backed up into the leaves again. I sighed and began climbing up the tree. This was one thing I was terrible at. I was afraid of heights, but I tried not to show it. I made it up to our new den and let out a quiet shaky breath.
"See, a good place," Smoke purred and sat down. The branches were so close together, I couldn't see the ground just by looking down. "Ya, i-its fine," I couldn't keep the stutter out of my voice. "You alright?" Smoke tilted his head and stopped purring. "I'm fine," I said and cleared my throat.
"Well, what do you think then," he said and looked around. "I said its fine," I chuckled and licked my paw. "Alright, now we wait for the clan cats, then we can find Snowstrike," Smoke said and stretched. "Snow," I muttered. "What," he looked up.
"Her name is Snow, not Snowstrike," I growled. "She's in a clan, remember, that's what got us into this mess," he said. "You followed me here, you didn't have to come," I growled and lashed my tail. "I know," he muttered and rested his head on his paws. "Don't go blind on me," he chuckled and yawned.
I snorted and padded closer to the leaves surrounding us. I poked my head through and looked around. I scented the air. They're not here yet. When will I find Snow? What if they find my scent first? "You have all day tomorrow, go to sleep," Smoke murmured and I saw him curl up.
I tucked my paws underneath me and stared through the leaves above us at the moon. I will see her soon. Now I just have to wait.
I just need to wait for my love to return to me.
…
