I'm so sorry I'm updating late. Earthlink wouldn't stay connected and I couldn't open Internet Explorer so I couldn't go to and update. I hope y'all understand!

Chapter 23

Stormpaw ran back to camp as fast as she could and straight to the medicine cats' den. Goldentail was still beside Birchfur whispering something. Goldentail looked up and asked, "Well?"

"Birchfur, ShadowClan really wants you. At dawn Blackstar is sending Littlewhisker and Russetfur to get you. The only problem is that Littlewhisker can barely walk," Stormpaw explained.

"How are they going to get through all of ThunderClan's warriors?" Goldentail asked.

"Knowing ShadowClan they'll find a way to get to me," Birchfur meowed. "How did you find this out?"

"I have my ways," Stormpaw purred with mischief in her tone.

"Just like Littlewhisker," Goldentail remarked. "Really, how did you find out? I know Littlewhisker didn't tell you."

"Fine," Stormpaw meowed sarcastically. "Cinderfoot told me."

"You three have had enough time to talk. Birchfur, you have to rest now," Cinderpelt meowed firmly. "Stormpaw, Goldentail, you can come back in the morning."

"Yes, Cinderpelt," Birchfur sighed. "See you in the morning."

Stormpaw nodded goodbye and padded out of the den. Spiderleg came up to her. "Isn't it about time you were made a warrior?" he asked.

"No," Stormpaw meowed. She thought that this was a good time to ask about Shrewpaw. "Do we have brother?"

"Yes, Birchfur's our brother, remember?" Spiderleg meowed looking at her strangely.

"Besides Birchfur."

"No."

"Stop lying," Stormpaw growled.

"I'm not lying," Spiderleg meowed desperately.

"Yes, you are. How did anyone think that I wouldn't find out about my brother and sisters?" Stormpaw retorted walking off without Spiderleg's answer.

Stormpaw's paws took her to her nest. She lay down and closed her eyes only to drift off into sleep.

Stormpaw awoke with a start. She had a dream, but she couldn't remember it. This made her angry. She blinked and realized that it was almost sunhigh.

Stormpaw rushed out of her den and all she saw were cats living their regular lives. She sighed, but then she heard a voice behind her.

"I thought you were going to sleep all day."

"What do you want, Spiderleg?" Stormpaw asked irritated.

"How did you find out?" Spiderleg asked.

"How would I not find out?" Stormpaw challenged. "They're my dead kin. You can't hide that forever."

"We-" Spiderleg stopped and hissed, "ShadowClan!"

Hehe. ShadowClan is coming!! Not much of a cliffie because I've already posted the next chapter. Review!!
