Please go check out my story that is also written by SoniJay and Darkpool14!

And thank you Oots made me cry for pointing that out!

Well again sorry and here is chapter 25!

Leafstorm

It has been a half moon since Whisperkit has died. Leaf-bare started a a few days ago and already the snow was so high that the warriors stomach would brush up against it. Windclan lost Furzepelt and Clearstrike to the cold and Hootflight and Breezepelt were battling against Greencough.

Leafstorm was on a hunting patrol with Leaftail, Thornpaw, Suncloud, and Sparkstream. They were heading back to camp after a very unsuccessful hunt, Thornpaw had managed to catch a scrawny crow. The five cats headed into camp. Crowstar approached the cats with Woodpelt scurrying behind him.

"Is that all?"

Leafstorm nodded, "We looked everywhere."

"Did you try digging?" The leader asked, his cool blue eyes glittering with worry.

"The ground is too frozen," Suncloud answered.

"Nice job Thornpaw!" Woodpelt congratulated the young apprentice.

Thornpaw's eyes glowed as he dipped his head to the leader and the medicine cat.

"Well then we will just have to keep sending out cats until we can find something," Crowstar sighed.

Then Crowstar walked off to his den where Leafpool was waiting.

Leafstorm went over to the fresh-kill pile and picked out a scrawny mouse. The mouse was so frozen that he had to warm it up in his mouth before he could swallow it. Sleekflight approached his brother, his head lowered.

"What's wrong?" Leafstorm asked.

" I just saw Wolfwillow, she has whitecough. "

Leafstorm swallowed the piece of mouse that he was eating, "How long until her kits come?"

"Any day now, " Sleekflight answered.

"She'll be fine! Woodpelt and Leafpool won't let anything happen to her. She's a tough warrior a kit or two won't be any trouble!" Leafstorm reassured his brother.

Sleekflight nodded but didn't look convinced.

Sleekflight walked away and Leafstorm continued to eat his mouse.

These are only the first few days of Leaf-bare, Leafstorm thought.

If we can't survive this then what's going to happen to Windclan?

Silvermoon

Silvermoon watched her kits jump up and catch snowflakes. The queen's eyes sparkled with amusement as Crowkit fell back into a snow drift. Moonkit wasn't as bold or adventurous as his sister. He had a sharp tongue and an interest in herbs that reminded Silvermoon of Jayfeather. Silvermoon saw Darkpool come over. The kits jumped on her with squeaks of delight. Silvermoon purred remembering the time when she played in the snow with Crowstar when she was a kit.

"Silvermoon!"

Silvermoon heard her name being called and turned around to see Smokeheart poking her head out of the nursery.

The silver cat turned to her kits, " I'll be right back, stay in the clearing! "

"Okay!" Moonkit meowed before pouncing on his sister's tail.

Silvermoon went into the nursery where Smokeheart was laying down with her kit sprawled on her, making it impossible for it to her move.

"Silvermoon I think I have a tick on my back but I don't want to disturb Ashkit by moving can you get it for me?" Smokeheart asked.

Silvermoon nodded and started going through the gray tabby's fur until she came across a huge tick less than half-way embedded in Smokeheart's fur. Silvermoon started cracking the tick when Crouchfoot entered the nursery. Crouchfoot was Smokeheart's mate and was constantly in the nursery. Silvermoon pulled the tick out and dropped it into the moss, dead. Suddenly Silvermoon heard a wail, she rushed out of the nursery just in time to see a large hawk plunge down towards her remaining kits.

Darkpool

Darkpool was playing with Crowkit and Moonkit in the clearing. The kits were throwing snow at Darkpool then running away when she would chase them. A shadow fluttered overhead, Darkpool looked up and saw a huge hawk circling camp. Her sister's kits would make excellent prey for it.

"Crowkit, come here please," Darkpool said, not wanting the kits to run in separate directions. Crowkit ignored her aunt and continued to play. Suddenly the hawk dove towards Moonkit. Moonkit looked up and wailed.

"Hawk!" Darkpool cried.

Darkpool grabbed Moonkit and thrushed him under her stomach before reaching out a paw and grabbing Crowkit. Darkpool waited terrified of the hawk tearing her to shreds.

"Get away you piece of fox doug!"

Relief washed over Darkpool's pelt. It was Hawkstorm.

"Darkpool! It's safe now!" Suncloud meowed a few moments later.

Darkpool stood up and helped the kits up.

"What was that for?" Crowkit squeaked.

"She saved your life," Hawkstorm told them.

Silvermoon raced out of the nursery, giving her kittens licks.

"Thanks for fighting the hawk off! I thought I was going to be a goner!" Darkpool meowed to Hawkstorm and Suncloud.

"Of course! That's what clanmates are for!" Suncloud said.

Darkpool flicked her tail in goodbye and went to see Heathertail to join a patrol.

Sleekflight

Sleekflight was leading a border with Leafpool, Crouchfoot, Darkpool, and Sparkstream. The five cats had just finished patrolling the Thunderclan border and were now down by the lake to check on Woodpelt's herbs.

"Sleekflight, do you smell that?" Darkpool's mouth was open, drawing on scents.

Sleekflight opened his mouth, "Blood!"

"We should go check it out, " Crouchfoot meowed.

Sleekflight nodded and followed the scent down to the lake shore. Leafpool spotted it first and raced down the shore to an unmoving shape. Sleekflight followed his mother.

"It's Applewood!" Sparkstream gasped.

Applewood had scratches and bites along his whole body.

"What happened?" Sleekflight demanded.

Applewood's voice was barely a whisper, " H...He said that he was going to make Nightcloud pay for what she has done. He said that he was going to kill all the cats who Nightcloud c...cared about, " He wheezed.

"But Nightcloud only cared about Breezepelt and Heathertail," Sleekflight meowed in confusion.

"Applewood, Woodpelt, Smokeheart, Brindleheart, Hawkstorm, Suncloud, and Wolfwillow are all her kin," Leafpool explained pushing cobwebs on Applewood's wounds.

"Who was it? Who said all that?" Darkpool demanded.

But it was no use, the cat who had the answers was dead.

Finished with that!
