So, we are back with yet another chapter of PelicanClan! Are you guys excited?! I was reading Bravelands, as I got it the other day, and it is insanely good! I really recommend it. I think it is good anyways, some might not have the same opinions. Anyways, enough rambling and on with the chapter!

The young silver tom rose to his paws stiffly as sun-high approached. His claws grabbed for footholds as he crawled up the rock, looking out on the valley that lay ahead. No sign of his mother anywhere now. He let out a small prayer to StarClan to keep her safe, before scrambling headfirst back down the rock. He landed neatly on his paws as he walked towards the ocean. He hoped the rolling waves would help the grief that welled in his heart, making him feel sick. He HAD wanted to go, but he knew he couldn't leave the Clan with Leaf-fall so close. They needed all the help they could get, he just hoped his mother would fare well on her own.

He scrambled onto a boulder and looked down at the white lined waves that rolled in, lapping at his paws. He crouched down, wondering how these waves could ever be dangerous. He looked deep into its depths, seeing small silver shapes darting through the water, but just out of reach. One fish made the foolish mistake of swimming too close to the surface as Crabpaw's paw darted out; retrieving his prey. He grabbed it and quickly bit down on it, killing it almost instantly.

After a couple more failed attempts, he grabbed the small fish he had caught and trotted back to camp. Despite his best efforts, he couldn't look cheerful. He was proud that he had caught his first fish, but his heart sunk as he thought about how his mother wouldn't see it. He felt a small wave of anger rise in his throat. She had to leave because it was too much and she thought she had nobody, but she left her only son. His claws unsheathed as he walked, slicing into the sand. He gave a frustrated hiss but it hurt to know that his mother didn't think he was good enough. That's probably why she left to get away from her disappointing son. He felt tears in his eyes, but he had to blink them away as he walked into camp. His tail dragged on the ground as he deposited his fish on the fresh-kill pile. He looked over his shoulder to see Goldenpaw approaching him, his gaze troubled.

Goldenpaw hung his head as he approached his fellow apprentice. "I'm sorry that I couldn't save your sister… If I had, your mother might have stayed and wouldn't have felt the need to leave." He mewed pitifully. Crabpaw could tell that he felt awful, but he knew it wasn't anybody's fault that she got killed. She was in StarClan's paws. It was her time to go, no matter how hard that happened to be.

"You couldn't have done anything. Nobody could have, it wasn't your fault." Crabpaw meowed, biting his tongue to stop the anger welling inside him, despite knowing the truth.

Goldenpaw twisted his head as he heard his mentor's call. "Coming Moorrunner!" He yowled as he cast an apologetic look at Crabpaw before scrambling off.

Crabpaw gave a sigh of relief as he was left to his own devices, he wanted a nap after the rough day, but he knew that he wouldn't forget any of this for a while still. But it would leave his mind quicker if he didn't think about it. He started towards the apprentice den, before stopping. He might as well visit the medicine cat den so he can see if Rosedusk has something that could help him. His paws were led on the familiar, well worn, path that led to the medicine cat's den. He stopped outside and poked his head in. He saw the white she-cat at the back of the den, sorting herbs.

Crabpaw tried to not wrinkle his nose in disgust at the smells that wafted around him as he pushed all the way in. "Rosedusk? I hope I'm not bothering you." He meowed shyly, knowing that Rosedusk sometimes could have a temper.

She looked up, clearly annoyed. "What do you want?" She practically hissed.

"I thought I could maybe have something to help my sleep." He meowed. "I need a nap."

She looked at him, her gaze softening just a little bit. But it didn't soften much and it still made him uncomfortable. "Okay. Eat these." She meowed as she shoved a couple of tiny black seeds towards him on a shell. He nodded and obediently lapped them up. He then quickly turned around and walked out of the den. Rosedusk seemed the least likely of a cat to be nice, but even she must know something about being abandoned. After all, Beetlefluff, Rosedusk, and Honeystar parents abandoned them when they could just barely hunt. He shuddered at the thought of all the carrion and even grosser food that they probably had to eat.

He watched as Goldenpaw padded out of camp with Moorrunner, his eyes settled on the golden tom's crooked jaw. He moved his own jaw, as he wondered if Goldenpaw even noticed it anymore. He sighed as he padded into the apprentice's den, his pelt getting raked as he pushed through the brambles, which protected it from intruders. He laid down in his mossy nest and sleep came, but not too easily anyways.

Cedarglow watched his leader, Honeystar, who seemed slightly distressed at the leaving of Silverstalk. He stood up and walked towards her, but before he reached her to comfort her, he was intercepted by a bundles of fur and claws. He looked down to see ALL of the kits, Falconkit, Turquoisekit, Lithekit, Poppykit, and Shiningkit. He held back an mrrow of amusement as he tried to look stern. "You all need to watch out, before tripping any cat." He meowed with a small chuckle. They widened their tiny eyes as they realized who they bumped into. They dipped their heads in apology before scrambling away, probably wanting to get away before a punishment could be given. He chuckled as he watched them go. He had forgot about the struggles of the day, but then his gaze landed on Honeystar. He sighed as he walked towards her. His paws sinking into the sand slightly.

"You're going to make yourself sick if you keep on worrying." He meowed as soon as he was within earshot of the golden leader. She turned her head, looking shocked, as if he had snuck up on her. His eyes softened as he watched her. He sat down beside her; his best friend.

"I know. But I can't help but feel like I could have made her stay." She meowed. The silver tabby had been both her and Cedarglow's friend, but now it seemed to not matter. Grief-stricken Silverstalk had made some rash decisions, but she hoped that she wouldn't get killed because of them.

Cedarglow gave a small sigh. "Nobody could have stopped her. You know how stubborn Silverstalk is!" He chuckled, nudging Honeystar slightly, who finally nodded with a small smile.

"Well, I hope StarClan lights her path and protects her." She meowed. "I also need you to send out a hunting patrol." She meowed to the gray tom that sat beside her.

He nodded as he rose to his paws, walking towards a small cluster of cats. His tail waved farewell to Honeystar.

I know this wasn't the best chapter, but I need some ideas of what should happen. So please review and give them to me, or you could even Pm me!
