This chapter has alot of drama in it, lol. So if you liek that kinda stuff like me, you'll love this chapter! I hope...rofl.

Chapter Four:

"A dream?" Rainingstar blinked and flicked her tail, dismissing the dawn patrol.

The padded into her den to discuss the message. "What did they say?" she asked as she settled down.

"Fire shall be born from the golden tongue

yet not even water can extinguish it.

Blood shall kill blood

Fire will reign supreme

Death shall whisper into the ears of your most dearest

And even the sacredness of kin shall be forgotten," Redclaw recited. "Brackenclaw, my old mentor, said this to me in a dream."

"But...Strikingstar told me the same thing!" Rainingstar exclaimed. "When I was receiving my nine lives!"'

"Why didn't you tell me!" Redclaw sounded hurt.

Rainingstar said defensively, "I didn't want to worry anybody..."

"It might've been important!"

"Well it wasn't repeated until now so why are you dogging me about this!" She slashed angrily at the air.

"What does it mean?" Redclaw asked.

Rainingstar gave him an annoyed look. "If I knew, I would've told you. But since I didn't, why worry the Clan?"

Redclaw snapped, "Well you could've told me!"

"And then what would we have done? What could we have done?" Rainingstar fired back.

"Well maybe we could've figured it out faster if you would've told me!"

"What are we doing now? Are we figuring it out?"

"Maybe if you weren't so bad tempered and acting like a PhoenixClan cat-"

"What?" Rainingstar's fiery voice turned to one of pure ice.

Redclaw's eyes flashed with regret.

"I didn't mean-"

"Get out."

"Rain-"

Her voice was still icily calm. "Get out of my den."

"If you would just-"

Her calm exterior cracked. "GET OUT OF MY DEN NOW!" He turned tail and ran out. Her fur was still standing on end when Desertscale padded in.

"Is something wrong...?" She obviously had noticed Redclaw racing out of her den.

She sighed and plopped down in her nest. "Oh Desertscale, why was I out of all cats chosen to lead! A bad-tempered PhoenixClan cat!" she wailed.

The golden she-cat looked shocked. "Why do you say that?"

Rainingstar quickly explained the argument, leaving out the message from StarClan. Luckily, Desertscale didn't ask about it.

Instead, she asked a different question. That was just as awkward, if not more. "Why do you think there's always tension around you guys? I mean you didn't mention it, but I've noticed it when you two are near each other."

"...I don't know," she mumbled, wanting to change the subject. "So...have you heard about Fawnspots and Cloudsky?"

"No but I've noticed them." She looked disgusted. "I can't believe he likes her when he has a mate!"

"Does Birdbeak know?"

"Every cat does besides her, for some strange reason. It's always like that." Desertscale let out a small chuckle. "Do you think they really like each other?"

"Well they shouldn't," Rainingstar commented. "I mean, he has chosen a mate already..."

"So? He might leave Birdbeak."

"And his kits? I doubt it." Rainingstar wasn't too doubtful about him leaving his mate. Fawnspots was prettier than Birdbeak. But would Cloudsky sink so low as to choose by looks?

Rainingstar was coming back from hunting when a brown and white figure walked up to her.

"Rainingstar, Tigerpaw still hasn't gone out training." Larchpaw looked a bit worried. "By the way, you look nice today."

"Thank you Larchpaw. And are you sure he hasn't been out training?"

"Yes," he replied. "He was in the den the whole day today."

"The whole day?" Rainingstar couldn't believe it. Never had an apprentice stayed the whole day in their den unless they were sick or injured. "Let me go...talk to her again."

Rainingstar was fuming when she approached Fawnspots and Cloudsky. "Fawnspots!" she snapped. "Tigerpaw still hasn't been taken out?"

"I've been busy," she said, sounding as if she didn't really care.

"Doing what?"

Fawnspots blinked. She obviously hadn't been ready for this confrontation. "Well...I..."

"Cloudsky, do you have anything to say?" Rainingstar turned on him.

He calmly replied, "She told me that she needed help with her hunting skills since she's hurt her paw. Redclaw recommended me."

Rainingstar glanced at Fawnspots, who had her eyes cast down. It was so obvious she was lying that it made Cloudsky seem like an idiot.

"Oh really? Her leg seems fine to me."

"She's been limping on the hunting patrols with me."

''She's fine right now!" Rainingstar said irritantly.

"I know, but I want to make sure she's ok," Cloudsky answered.

Rainingstar bit back a sharp retort. She took a deep breath and said in an obviously forced calm voice, "Well thank you for caring for her. But Tigerpaw needs his training." She whipped around and stalked to the elder's den to check on the elders.

Cloudsky hissed to Fawnspots, "Didn't I tell you to train that little brat?"

"But if I'm a bad enough mentor, she may take Tigerpaw off my paws," Fawnspots whispered back.

He considered this for a moment. "Good plan but it may backfire. Rainingstar isn't all that stupid. She might even give you another apprentice just to punish you. Plus, it's unfair to Tigerpaw." He always had a soft spot for younger cats because he loved his kits.

"I guess your right," Fawnspots meowed. She never liked apprentices and kits all that much but Cloudsky needn't know. She padded away to go find her apprentice.

Cloudsky sighed. He did like Fawnspots very much, as well as Birdbeak. And plus, he had three kits already. Fawnspots was very pretty and sweet. Birdbeak wasn't as pretty much twice as sharp, though she hadn't noticed his 'relationship' with Fawnspots yet. But it was only a matter of time...

dun dun DUN!!!! xD Will Birdbeak find out about this? Will Cloudsky leave his first love and his three kits? Will I make it obvious?(answr: no) And what about Rainingstar and Redclaw? BFF? More? Neither? Gaspeth!!!! Please review!
