So, I know this question is kind of off topic, but has anyone else seen Sweeney Todd? My cousin, her friend and I are listening to the soundtrack right now. I was just wondering if anyone else enjoys the movie as much as I do. Um...Chapter four!

On a side note, I'm at my cousin's house, so I don't have my Warriors books with me, so this information probably isn't completely accurate. If I make a mistake, please tell me!

Chapter 4

When Kite awoke, it was just past sunrise. Odin was sitting on the fence with Glacier by his side. Kite rose to her paws, stretching, and leapt onto the fence beside Glacier.

"Good morning, Kite!" Glacier meowed. "Are you ready to go find Rain?"

"Sure," Kite replied. Odin flicked his tail, and the three of them leapt into the forest. "Where are we headed?" Kite asked, turning toward Odin.

"We're going to the Thunderpath, to see if she's camped there." Odin replied. "If she's not there, we'll head for ShadowClan territory."

"Whose territory is the Thunderpath on?" Kite asked.

"I believe we'll be on ThunderClan territory," Odin replied.

Kite nodded, her stomach twisting uneasily. What if they were attacked, and she couldn't convince her old Clanmates that she was Firestar's daughter? The three of them would be doomed, and it would be all her fault.

She could smell the mice hiding in the undergrowth, and she was tempted to practice hunting, but there wasn't time.

"Patrol!" Odin hissed. "Follow me!" he flicked his tail and dove into a clump of ferns. Glacier and Kite followed. Just as the bushes parted, revealing a patrol of ThunderClan cats, Kite was slipping into the fern.

"Who's in there?" A voice called. "Show yourselves if you value your lives!"

"Dustpelt," a she-cat meowed. "Calm down." The voice was familiar, and it struck Kite right in the gut.

"I think we should show ourselves," Kite whispered. Odin nodded, and the three of them slipped out of the ferns. The patrol was made up of three warriors, including the familiar ginger she-cat, and a small tortoiseshell-and-white she-cat, who looked as though she was a new apprentice.

"Sandstorm?" Kite mewed, her voice barely a whisper.

Sandstorm scanned the group of housecats. When she got to Kite, her eyes glimmered with recognition for less than a heartbeat, then they turned cold once more. "What are you three doing here? We've already got one kittypet on our hands, we don't need more."

"You mean Rain?" Glacier meowed, his eyes glimmering with hope. "Is she in your camp? Oh, this is great! We can just go to your camp and-"

Odin slapped his tail over Glacier's mouth and stepped forward. "I believe this 'kittypet' as you call her, may be our friend, Rain. We were wondering if perhaps you could fetch her for us."

"Don't listen to the kittypet!" Dustpelt snarled. "They're just a bunch of lying, filthy softies!"

"Don't talk like that!" Sandstorm growled. "Firestar was a kittypet, and he's one of the best leaders ever born."

"Do you really nead that fleabag?" Dustpelt meowed coldly. "You would have been much happier with me."

"Save it," Sandstorm snapped. She turned to the three housecats. "Wait right here. Leafpaw and Cinderpelt will bring you your friend and escort you back to the Twolegplace."

Odin nodded, meowing his thanks to the patrol as they padded away. "Well," he meowed, a hint of sarcasm in his voice. "They certainly are charmers, aren't they?"

Kite nodded, unable to speak. Had her mother recognized her? Would she tell Firestar that their third daughter was still alive?

"Are you OK?" Glacier asked, padding up to Kite's side.

"I...I'm fine," Kite insisted, though she felt nauseous, and wanted to drop onto her side in a dead faint.

Glacier placed his tail over Kite's shoulder, and together the three of them waited. It wasn't long before the bushes rustled again. A tabby she-cat with green eyes and a gray tabby she-cat with clear, watery blue eyes stepped out, escorting Rain, a solid, dark gray she-cat.

"Rain!" Glacier cried, racing up to Rain and pressing his muzzle against hers. "I'm so glad you're alright!"

"Leafkit?" Kite mewed, looking toward the tabby and white she-cat.

"Leafpaw," she snapped. "And who are you?"

"Don't you remember me?" Kite asked. "It's Kitekit, your sister. Don't you know me?"

Leafpaw's eyes widened. "You're supposed to be dead!" she cried.

"But I'm not," Kite insisted.

"This is great!" Leafpaw cried, racing up to kite and nuzzling her. "Now you can come back and live with us! We can all be a family again!"

"No," Kite sighed, pulling away. "I'm happy where I am."

"You mean," Leafpaw meowed. "You like being a kittypet?"

"Housecat," Kite corrected. "I'm a housecat. And yes, I like where I'm living."

"We should get going, then," Odin meowed, flicking his tail. Together, the band of housecats padded toward their nests.

"Kite?" Glacier meowed from the top of the fence. It was moonrise, and Kite was lying on her back in the garden, gazing up at the stars.

"Yeah?" Kite meowed. Glacier leapt down into the garden and padded to Kite's side, lying down beisde her the way Odin had done the night before.

"Are you OK?" Glacier asked.

"I'm fine," Kite snapped. "Why do you care?"

"I was just wondering," Glacier replied. "You just...well, you've been looking a bit tense since that run-in with your sister."

"I'm fine," Kite repeated. "Never better."

Glacier placed his head on Kite's shoulder and gazed up at the stars with her. "Good," he meowed. There was a moment of silence between them. "Can I tell you something?" Glacier asked.

"Sure," Kite replied.

"You're great," Glacier meowed. "You're my best friend. I mean, you've always been there for me. And I know it hasn't been that long, but..." Glacier stopped, sighing.

"Go on," Kite urged.

"I...I think I might be in love with you," Glacier meowed. "I know I probably sound like a total mousebrain right now, but I thought you should know."

Kite just sat there, stunned into silence. No one had ever loved her. Or, at least, no one had ever said they loved her. She wanted so badly to bury herself in Glacier's fluffy white pelt and tell him she felt the same way, but they were both so young. And besides, Kite wasn't entirely sure of her feelings for the young tom.

"I guess I should give you some time to yourself," Glacier meowed. Slowly, he rose to his paws, licked Kite's ear, and jumped onto the fence. With one last hopeful glance at Kite, he leapt down into his garden.

Whoa. I swear, my stomach just meowed. That's how hungry I am! It has to meow like a kitten to get my attention! I'll probably go eat a banana or something later. But for now, I must update some more! If you review, you get a free Odin plushie! ;)
