Lionblaze999: Sandstorm says disclaimer!

Sandstorm: But I can't! I have to get back or Firestar will get worried about where I am!

Lionblaze999: All the more reason to hurry up and say it, Because you're not getting out of here until you say the disclaimer!

Sandstorm: Alright, alright! No need to shout, I'm right here! Lionblaze999 doesn't own Warriors or he would be Erin Hunter. ( Or Me!)

Lionblaze999: There, was that so hard? Now scram. On with the Chapter!

CHAPTER 1

The next day, Firestar felt a little better, but his sadness kept returning. It was like a hole in his spirit, a vacuum that threatened to consume his happiness entirely. He sat down on the Highrock, waiting for night to come. He had a plan, but it needed to wait until night, when they wouldn't be interrupted. Ever since Graystripe had lost Silverstream he had become a reliable friend and deputy. He would keep everyone in the camp tonight, except Sandstorm, who Firestar felt would be able to slip by Graystripe's watchful night vigil at the camp entrance.

Firestar worked hard all day, trying to make the appearance of being alright even though he was torn inside. Cinderpelt saw right through the guise, but she saw the hope in his eyes, as he sat keeping watch over his clan from Highrock. Cinderpelt winked at him as she carried herbs to the nursery. Firestar watched the sun anxiously as it made it's slow progression down the clear blue sky.

Finally the sun hid its blazing bodies behind the treetops casting complicated patterns on the forest floor. Firestar jumped down from his position on the Highrock and made the appearance of going to his den, but he was actually going to meet Graystripe, whom he had told to meet him near Firestar's den. Graystripe was there. Firestar told him that he had smelled a strange smell when he had been out on patrol, and not to let annyone out of camp as he was going to see what it was. Graystripe nodded and walked to the camp entrance to keep a close watch on his clanmates. Firestar padded over to the back of the warriors den and tried to distinguish where Sandstorm was. He found it and snuck past the position, purposefully snapping a twig with his paw while mumbling about the strange scent, making sure that she could hear. Then, camp, hoping that Sandstorm followed him.

Sandstorm had been about to fall asleep when she heard a twig snapping, outside the warrior's den bramble wall. She swiveled her ears in that direction and picked up someone muttering.
" Strange scent...in forest...should chase it... must follow..."
That was all she heard. She picked up her head and began to sneak out of the den. The moment she stepped out of the den, Graystripe stopped her.

"Firestar has told me not to let anyone leave the camp."

"Why?" Sandstorm asked, she was already planning to break the rule, especially since Firestar ordered it.

" He said something about a strange scent in the forest, doesn't want anyone to get hurt."

Sandstorm realized that the person who went to investigate the scent must've been Firestar. Just like him to tell everyone that it was too dangerous to leave, then go out alone to act like a hero. She didn't want him to become more of a hero. But she felt something else too. As Graystripe turned and walked back to where he had been standing, Sandstorm dashed to the side of the den, to begin to follow Firestar's familiar scent

Firestar walked slowly through the forest, looking for a good place to carry out his plan. He walked until he came to the edge of the ravine, looking out over the forest. The moonlight wove a mottled pattern along the forest floor and Firestar sat staring out over the forest, not moving a muscle.

Sandstorm followed his scent, it was becoming fresher as she walked through the gloomy nighttime forest. She walked for a long time before finally she saw him sitting on a ridge, looking out over Thunderclan territory. He looked rather majestic, sitting there with his head held high. He wasn't moving.
