So, the reviews I've gotten are saying that Ivypool's like.. not herself. It's because she's losing her mental stability, and she's always confused now.

Wildchild13: Thanks for the advice!

Risen Moon: I know, I just can't stay on a little part for too long, I just get really bored when I try that. Thanks for the review!

Apple pie: Yeah, Ivypool's losing her mental stability and is just doing crazy things now

Flashback

"Dovepaw! From this moment on you will be known as Doveflight!" Ivypaw meowed.

Doveflight! Doveflight! Doveflight!

"Though you have not had an apprentice, you will be the new deputy of IvyClan, Doveflight Oh wait, we have Sparrowkit ready to become an apprentice! " Ivypaw meowed.

"Thank you, Ivystar. I will be the best first deputy of IvyClan possible!" Dovepaw meowed, dipping her head.

"Don't forget about your vigil!" Ivypaw meowed, grabbing a dead sparrow, she meowed "Sparrowkit, from this day on until you have become a warrior, you will be known as Sparrowpaw. Your mentor will be Doveflight, the new deputy." Ivypaw meowed, shoving the dead bird toward Dovepaw.

End Of Flashback

Ivypool shook her head to clear it, she didn't have time to think about stuff like that. Every moment you're thinking about something else but your enemies is a moment of weakness. She remembered Hawkfrost's words. Hawkfrost.. You shouldn't be thinking about something else! It's weakness! She scolded herself. She found herself missing the huge tom..

"Ivypool?" Dovewing meowed, interrupting her thoughts.

"Dovewing, let's eat. We can plan while we try to sleep." Ivypool meowed. Dovewing nodded, looking at the food choices their dead 'teammates' had left them with. I could eat a rabbit. Ivypool thought. A water vole seemed good too, she'd only eaten it once. Water vole, definitely. She thought, getting it. Dovewing had already gotten a thrush. Good choice. After eating, she headed off to their dens, which were burrows. They were pretty comfortable when we were apprentices.. she thought.

"Are you okay, Ivypool?" Dovewing meowed, Ivypool was frozen before the dens. Stop it! She scolded herself, settling beside Dovewing.

"I'm fine." she mumbled. The next morning, she stretched up.

"Screw going to WindClan, let's go for RiverClan. Today. Right now. " Ivypool meowed. She quickly ate, Dovewing behind her. They side by side ran to RiverClan territory. "I can smell a fresh cat scent here!" Dovewing meowed softly. "Let's follow it." Ivypool meowed.

Cats Remaining:

ThunderClan: Dovewing, Ivypool

WindClan: Ashfoot, Breezepelt, Nightcloud, Crowfeather, Boulderfur, Furzepelt

RiverClan: Pebblefoot, Minnowtail, Grasspelt, Perchwing, Hollowflight

ShadowClan: Tigerheart, Tawnypelt, Crowfrost, Dawnpelt, Ratscar, Stoatpaw

Stoatpaw's POV

Stoatpaw stumbled through the forest. He was tired, and hungry. StarClan, please. He thought back to when Crowfrost had denied his entry into the ShadowClan alliance, saying that an untrained cat would only be weakness to his alliance. All the other cats had seemed to have good alliances, and didn't seem like they wanted an extra. Stoatpaw had considered joining the ThunderClan alliance, where Mossyfoot, a RiverClan cat had joined, but he remembered when the leader of the alliance, Ivypool had shoved him into a rock during a gathering. He thought against it, though there were already 2 apprentices in the alliance. Now I'm alone, I should have tried to get into that ThunderClan alliance. Maybe he could find the 2 ThunderClan apprentices and make an alliance with them.. But they're dead. He remembered Mapleshade yowling that some cats named Berrynose, Poppyfrost, Cherrypaw, and Molepaw had been killed. By who? Ivypool.. he remembered the name. Also some other cat named Dovewing. Stoatpaw hadn't had food for days, he was starting to feel dizzy. He settled down, and lay still. He saw a mouse. Out of his hunger, he didn't think and picked up speed to kill the mouse. It darted away, but Stoatpaw couldn't miss this one. He ran faster, killing the mouse. Satisfaction and happiness surged through his pelt, and he ate it quickly, and went back to where he was camping. He settled into sleep.

Pebblefoot's POV

Pebblefoot hadn't eaten fish for days, he'd just been eating the mouse from the food packets at the middle, which he called 'mid' He ran down to the stream, eager to catch one. He heard a shriek. Minnowtail! Grasspelt! Hollowflight! Perchwing! He fell into the river at the sound. He tried to scramble back to the shore, but it was too late. The water was carrying him to WindClan territory.

"Grasspelt and Minnowtail are dead, killed by Dovewing and Ivypool!" Mapleshade yowled "By the way, Hollowflight and Perchwing are slowly bleeding to death.. wait they're dead!" yowled Darkstripe. Pebblefoot felt a wave of grief crashing down on him. He climbed out when it pooled beneath the rock.

Flashback

"Squirrelflight's come to take Hollypaw home!" Pebblepaw meowed.

"Yeah, that nosy apprentice should go home." meowed Minnowpaw.

"Don't be so mean to her about it!" scolded Perchwing. Pebblepaw felt embarrassed for his littermate.

"Don't mind her, she can be really.. you know really.. mean sometimes." Pebblepaw meowed.

"Stop apologizing for me!" Minnowpaw hissed

"Pebblepaw did you a favor. If you still want to argue, then go clear out the elder's den. If you don't want to clear out the elder's den, then sit quietly .Perchwing meowed. Pebblepaw did like Perchwing, but it was kind of awkward because Perchwing was his brother's mentor...

End of Flashback

Pebblefoot shook his head. No more arguements with Grasspelt, no more scoldings from Perchwing.. Hollowflight and Minnowtail came later, but they were still from his clan. The grief.. I need to find a new alliance, I won't survive alone. Not with Dovewing and Ivypool around. I could probably team with that ShadowClan apprentice that the ShadowClan alliance rejected. He thought, heading toward the ShadowClan border. He instantly saw the little ginger tom. His ribs were sticking out, he clearly hadn't been eating well. Stoatpaw? Was that his name ? He wondered. The tom was sleeping. He caught a mouse, for the starving tom. He went back to where he was sleeping.

"Stoatpaw." Pebblefoot meowed.

"Ratscar? Wait, let me have one more minute to wake up.." Stoatpaw muttered. He saw the alarm in the tom's eyes as he realized he was in the games.

"Alliance?" Pebblefoot suggested, before the apprentice could do anything. The apprentice nodded, eyeing the fresh-kill Pebblefoot had. Pebblefoot dropped it at his feet, the apprentice looked slightly embarrassed, but dug into it.

"I can train you fully." Pebblefoot meowed to the tom. He nodded vigorously, obviously trusting of Pebblefoot.

"Your name is Stoatpaw, right?" Pebblefoot meowed.

"Yep. And yours?" Stoatpaw meowed.

"Pebblefoot." he answered.

Breezepelt's POV

Breezepelt stomped into the WindClan camp, Nightcloud and Boulderfur behind him. He smelled some familiar scents. Crowfeather, Ashfoot, and Furzepelt! "Attack!" he yowled. Nightcloud and Boulderfur advanced on them. Furzepelt took the advantage of surprise on Boulderfur, rolling on him. Nightcloud fought with Ashfoot, and Crowfeather was left. The Dark Forest makes me stronger than any of them, it should be fairly easy to eliminate them. He thought. He jumped onto Crowfeather. Instead of overpowering Crowfeather like he thought he would, Crowfeather kicked him off, and held him down.

"Furzepelt and Boulderfur of WindClan are dead, Boulderfur killed by Furzepelt and Furzepelt died of blood loss!" Mapleshade yowled.

"You're my son and you turned out like this! You try to kill your father.." hissed Crowfeather.

"You never loved me! Or my mother! You just loved that stupid ThunderClan cat Leafpool! You hated me!" Breezepelt hissed angrily.

"I never hated you, or your mother. You were just determined to think so!" Crowfeather yowled.

"Bye, Breezepelt. I will never see you in StarClan, you will just be another lost to the Dark Forest." Crowfeather meowed. Breezepelt saw the claws coming down, and he felt the slicing pain in his throat. But he wasn't dead.

"Nightcloud of WindClan is dead, killed by Ashfoot!" yowled Mapleshade. Breezepelt turned to see Mapleshade pick up his mother's body. And he drifted away...

"Welcome to the Dark Forest, Breezepelt." meowed Maggottail. Breezepelt realized that he was in the gloomy forest where no stars shone.. a place that was so familiar, but always unwelcoming.

"You can help us run the games.." Tigerstar meowed, appearing behind him. Breezepelt nodded, but immediately felt regret boil up. Where was Nightcloud? He followed Tigerstar to where Redwillow was seated.

Ivypool's POV

Ivypool sat around the bloodstained ground, the only thing left was a mouse. She and Dovewing shared it. As she got up, she winced, realizing that she had hurt her leg. She turned, and saw a bloody patch of skin, ripped. She then saw Mapleshade fly down. A death? She wondered. Mapleshade was carrying something.. it carried the scent of Jayfeather. Herbs! She realized. Mapleshade dropped it at her feet.

"Thank you, ThunderClan!" she whispered. "How do you use these?" Ivypool muttered. Dovewing's ears were stretched toward the twolegplace. "Cobwebs for bleeding, marigold to stop infection." Dovewing meowed, finally. She looked at her sister. Of course, her hearing senses. Since the three had never stopped the Dark Forest, they still had their senses.

"Let's dress that wound on your leg first, it's bleeding more than any other wound." suggested Dovewing. Her sister started licking her leg wound clean, and then layered cobwebs and marigold on top of it.

"Better to not move yet, Ivypool." Dovewing meowed, as she tried to stretch up to a sitting position.

"How about your scratches?" Ivypool meowed. Dovewing cut her off.

"It's okay, I can treat myself. Just go to sleep now, you'll need it after such a fight and the injuries you have.." Dovewing meowed, trailing off. "It's not.. the injury's not that bad. I've felt worse." Ivypool muttered, trying to not sound show-offish. Dovewing had a wad of moss in her mouth, and stuffed it under Ivypool.

"There, sleep." Dovewing ordered. Ivypool fell into a soft sleep, feeling somewhat relaxed. She looked at Dovewing's matted pelt, scratched and dirty. She'll need some herbs. Ivypool noted. Her sister started licking her leg wound clean, and then layered cobwebs and marigold on top of it. "Better to not move yet, Ivypool." Dovewing meowed, as she tried to stretch up to a sitting position.

"How about your scratches?" Ivypool meowed. Dovewing cut her off.

"It's okay, I can treat myself. Just go to sleep now, you'll need it after such a fight and the injuries you have.." Dovewing meowed, trailing off. Dovewing had a wad of moss in her mouth, and stuffed it under Ivypool. "There, sleep." Dovewing ordered. Ivypool fell into a soft sleep, feeling somewhat relaxed.
