Thank you for all the reviews!! Wow, it took me exactly a month to update this story. Just so you know, I haven't had a lot of time to write so I haven't started writing my next chapter for Moonlight yet. I hope you understand!

Please don't be mad at me.

Disclaimer-I do not own Warriors.


"There will be three names that will be forever repeated. One who cares for kin, One who loves for many reasons, and One who will be both of these things; this cat will be as great as you, Firestar. This cat will care for every cat knows about this one. This is the cat that will change ThunderClan forever!"


Chapter 38

"Father?"

"Yes, Littlewhisker."

"Why are you here?"

"Your sister will need to go to Moonpool with Runningstream," Brambleclaw meowed. "They will be safe, I assure you."

Littlewhisker awoke with a start. She trotted out of the nursery and over to where Goldentail and Birchfur were arguing, in front of Reedfur and Runningstream.

"I'm guarding them next," Goldentail told Birchfur.

"But not for a while," Birchfur argued.

"Stop the arguing, you're making my head hurt," Littlewhisker butted in. "Birchfur, she can take her shift early if she wants."

"Okay, what's going on?" Birchfur asked.

Runningstream sighed and stood up and padded over to join them. "Runningstream and I have to go to Moonpool," Goldentail explained.

"Why?"

"StarClan didn't tell us that," Runningstream sighed. "Are going to let me through so I can go?"

"Fine," Birchfur sighed. "Just on problem, once the Clan wakes up they're going to think that Runningstream killed you, Goldentail."

"No they won't," Littlewhisker disagreed. "They would think that I would fall apart since my sister is gone, but I'll be fine. They'll just badger me into telling them where they are, and I can stall the Clan until they get back. It is simple!"

"Okay, okay, do your plan, but…"

"What?" Littlewhisker asked.

"While we're gone…" Goldentail began.

"What?"

"Ashfur is going to try to get Squirrelflight to forget about Brambleclaw!" Goldentail meowed quickly.

"What?" Littlewhisker asked with disbelief. "That-that can't be; Mother would never forget—never. That can't be."

"It's true, Maplestripe overheard Ashfur tell Sootfur that he had tricked the warriors into helping get you out of the warriors' den. He told Sootfur that this was a perfect plan since you are still grieving for Brambleclaw and that is making Mother grieve, too. Maplestripe told Whiteear, Whiteear told Spottedheart, and Spottedheart told me."

"Good luck on your journey to Moonpool, though, you probably don't need it because Brambleclaw assured me that you would be okay," Littlewhisker meowed to her sister. She turned to Birchfur and meowed, "I'll see you in the morning."

She turned and went straight to the nursery. She looked at Sorreltail with her kits, Greenkit, Dawnkit, and Briarkit. Littlewhisker realized that there were only three kits instead of four. She padded over to her own nest where she found Sorreltail's missing kit, Ivykit.

"Where are Goldentail and Runningstream?"

Littlewhisker ran out of the nursery as the sun began to rise, blinding her with its bright light.

"Littlewhisker, where's Goldentail?" Brackenfur asked rushing over to her.

"I don't know; last time I saw her was last night when she and Birchfur were changing guards at moonhigh," Littlewhisker answered.

"I can't find her or Runningstream," Brackenfur meowed. "I was going to go guard Runningstream and Reedfur and they were gone." Changing his tone he asked, "Why did you sleep in the nursery? I thought your kits weren't due for a moon and a half."

"Don't get me started," Littlewhisker growled. "I'm going to talk to Graystripe now."

Littlewhisker looked around he clearing. She spotted Graystripe talking to Firestar and bounded over to them. "Firestar, they aren't in camp, I had all the warriors check," Graystripe was meowing.

"Then we need to check our territory- just the cat we're looking for," Firestar meowed turning to Littlewhisker. "Do you know what happened to Goldentail and Runningstream, Littlewhisker?"

"No," Littlewhisker said a little too quickly.

Firestar looked at Littlewhisker for a moment and then meowed, "Why don't you go on a walk."

"Alone?" Littlewhisker asked.

"It's your choice," Firestar meowed.

"Alone," Littlewhisker decided padding out of camp.

Littlewhisker looked at the sky. The sun was almost overhead, so she decided to go and see Smokestorm then hunt. She was half way there when she heard two voices behind a bush.

"We need to get back; Flurry is going to be worried about us."

"We need to go back, but you are weak and need rest."

Littlewhisker stepped out of the bush and the two cats froze. One of them was a tom with a ginger coat that looked remarkably like Firestar's and the she-cat was a brown tabby with three kits in front of her.

"Don't hurt us, please," the brown tabby whispered. "Not the kits."

"I wouldn't ever harm kits," Littlewhisker meowed softly. "Or a queen nursing them. I'm expecting kits, too."

The tabby began to trust Littlewhisker. "My name is Tabby and this is my son, Milo," the tabby meowed, flicking her tail toward the ginger tom. "We live by the barn with housefolk."

"I know you shouldn't travel since you're so weak but you're not safe in these woods," Littlewhisker meowed. "The some warriors in my Clan will… well, do anything to someone who has kits and is trespassing on our territory. Well, Cloudtail wouldn't since he-"

"Did you say Cloudtail?" Tabby interrupted. "You're in ThunderClan and Firestar is your leader, right?"

"Yes, how do you know?" Littlewhisker replied.

Tabby explained, "Cloudtail is my…"


Cloudtail is her…? You gotta love my cliffies:-P Tabby ends up playing a pretty important role in this and the next story and the next. Oh yeah, don't forget to review!!
