YAY! Lol, thanks Dancer of the Wind, for supporting my friend and um...advertising...hope you're still reviewing for my story! -bites fingernails nervously- Allegiances is messed up, there's a Clawpaw, and Creampearl is no longer a medicine cat! Willowtears/kit, is!

"AAH!" Aquapaw screamed shooting straight up from her nest. Her tail was fluffed out and her fur stood on end with claws unsheathed. She glanced at her surroundings, only to meet the puzzled amber eyes of Goldenpaw.

Aquapaw heaved a long heavy sigh and curled up back into her nest. It was such a strange dream...and who was Moon and Blizzard? Nothing was making any sense to her right now.

"Patrol--" "AAH!" The same action was repeated, only Aquapaw met her mentor: Darkshadow. "Um...right, ok, uh, um, coming!" She mewed randomly. Darkshadow chuckled,

"Early cat catches the prey, it's time to go on the Dawn Patrol, we have to renew our scent markings along the border of WindClan and hunt you know, come on everyone's waiting."

Aquapaw sniffed some horsetail and mumbled picking them gently, "Willowtears could use this!" Darkshadow smiled, "Good job, but I suppose you can't hunt because your mouth's full."

Aquapaw shuffled her paws, "Oopsie." A glint of amusement shone in his blue eyes, "It's okay, next time remember to pick it last." She nodded and carefully dropped the plant on the floor.

Aquapaw padded after the patrol as they went to the border of WindClan to renew their scent markings. "Aquapaw?" A soft voice hissed from the shadows. She flicked her tail to let the cat know she heard.

"Aren't you coming?" Darkshadow asked behind his shoulder as the rest of the patrol headed back to camp, "Um, I'll pick more horsetail for Willowtears, then I'll come back!"

Darkshadow shrugged and left. "Come out whoever you are!" Aquapaw yowled aloud curiously. "Shh!" Stormingpaw emerged from the shadows a single bush at cast over him, "Not so loud!"

Aquapaw blushed as she saw who it was, "Oh-oh St-stormingpaw, h-how are y-you? And-d wh-what a-are you d-doing here?" She stuttered out. He flatened his ears nervously and looked down at his paws.

Aquapaw muzzle touched his fur, "Are you okay? Is there something wrong?" Stormingpaw shook his head flustered at her actions, "No, nothing is, I just, scented you and I thought..."

"I understand." Aquapaw interrupted, "You thought we were invading?" Storming bobbed his head up and down, "Yeah! Something like that." "Then...if you have nothing else to say I gotta go get some horsetail."

Aquapaw meowed, walking away. "W-wait!" Stormingpaw stopped her in her tracks. She turned around, "Yes?" He blushed and murmured out half of him hoping she didn't hear and the other half wishing desperatley,

"I...l-l-love...you." Aquapaw's eyes widend in shock, "I don't know what to say..." Stormingpaw blushed and backed away, "I didn't mean to say that!" He called out anxiously.

Aquapaw purred gently, "I guess...no...I know I return my feelings for you." Stormingpaw purred back, glad she had not rejected him even though they were from totally different Clans.

Aquapaw brushed her fur against his, "We're going to have to keep with secret though, but I have to go, Darkshadow will be wondering where I am!" Stormingpaw gazed after her as she trudged away.

000

"It took that long to get that little?" Darkshadow asked poking the small amount of plants in-front of him, eyeing his apprentice with slight suspicion. Aquapaw nodded and looked down at her paws.

"I tried to get some more herbs but I couldn't find much except those." Aquapaw knew New Leaf was coming, so it was a perfect excuse since there might've been a short stock of herbs.

"I see..." Darkshadow mumbled, but then his voice changed, "Well, not much difference, we must train but it'll be shorter, because you came in a bit late." He warned.

000

Rainpaw gazed at the brown tom that had come to pick up some herbs. Clawpaw to be exact, he was helping for today since his mentor, Creampearl was a bit busy today.

Rainpaw let out a weary sigh as the apprentice padded away to the elder's den with some leaves stuffed into his mouth. Willowtears glanced at her own apprentice for a minute then mewed,

"Rainpaw...you're not falling for him...are you?" Rainpaw snapped back to reality, "Huh? Oh! Uh...no no! Nothing like that!" Willowtears shrugged and nudged her gently, "Bring these to Foxcunning."

She wasn't falling in love was she? When she would be a medicine cat?

000

Aquapaw tiredly dragged herself to the fresh-kill pile and picked up a rabbit. She was so tired! Darkshadow had made her train harder since she supposedly 'fooled around'.

Aquapaw chewed slowly to savour the warm juice that seeped onto her tongue, it was boring now, all she did was train and eat, hunt and sleep, nothing, and she repeated, nothing interesting would occur.

Aquapaw yawned and snuggled inside her most nest, curling up so that her nose touched her tailtip. Suddenly, her rest was disturbed by a pale ginger tom, who looked down at her with amber eyes.

Aquapaw scrambled to her paws as she realized who it was, "Sunstar!" Sunstar purred in amusement, "It's alright, I won't bite you, I just...need to tell you something, you and Goldenpaw, she's already in my den."

Aquapaw obediently padded after Sunstar, all the while wondering why he needed to talk to them, not any of the other apprentices. Goldenpaw was silent as she saw her leader come in.

The sisters were desperatley pondering. Aquapaw sat down awkwardly and gazed at Sunstar. Sunstar cleared his throat and began, "There's something important, something I think is time for you to know."

Aquapaw kneaded the ground with her paws impatiently. "That you two...are my kits...my kits and Moonflower's." Goldenpaw jerked her head up in surprsie. "Snowstorm and Blazingdew, what about them?"

Sunstar mewed softly hoping everything would go smoothly, "They took care of you as their own, ever since her only kit died." Aquapaw didn't know what to say, but finally she managed to murmur,

"Moonflower...she is from ThunderClan, the chosen one, am I right?" Sunstar nodded and gently replied, "We fell in love, and defeated the evil Hawkstar together, she bore you two, and had to give you up as punsihment."

Aquapaw glanced at her paws, "You mean, everyone know's but us?" "Yes, I was trying to find the right time to tell you, but there's something else, something else." Sunstar whispered.

Aquapaw and Goldenpaw looked at eachother as Sunstar paused to catch a breath, "There was a third kit, Emberkit, who fell into the lake, but, he is living now, in WindClan."

000

"You were found near WindClan territory, and we took you in, as our own. I feel this is the right time to tell you." Blazepaw couldn't help but blurt out at his leader,

"Then how did you find me in WindClan?" Onestar flinched nearly un-noticable, "You were buried in ThunderClan's side of the river, and Crowfeather dug you up, still living."

Blazepaw went back to his seat and mumbled, "Sorry Onestar...But how do you know all this?" "Crowfeather was there on the border for an unknown reason, and saw a bundle of fur. He decided to dig and see."

000

"Onestar announced Crowfeather had found a flame-colored kit. I told Moonflower how I thought he was Emberkit, but she did not think it would be possible. I found evidence though..."

Aquapaw was as stiff as a board, sitting there rigid in shock. "Darkshadow did report how strange it was that you and Blazepaw at the Gathering were having fun like siblings should, this is the evidence."

Goldenpaw then asked bluntly, "Does WindClan or ShadowClan know any affair between you and um...Moon-uh-flower?" Sunstar shook his head, "Thankfully not, but this is just what I needed to tell you, you can go sleep now."

Aquapaw took his dismisal signal and wandered back to her nest with a wierd feeling pricking at her paws, "All this time, just like Mistyfoot and Stonefur, would one of us die? Like Stonefur?"

"No don't be thinking such things...They were under the cruel rule of, oh I forgot just stop worrying Aquapaw!" With that supposedly settled, she fell into a restless sleep.

DUN DUN DUN! Well, it was sorta obvious Blazepaw was Emberkit/paw. Sorry I'm in a writer's block right now, I'LL STILL TRY TO UPDATE! I PROMISE! It'll just take slower for each chapter to come. Now which do you like better:

Rippedsnow or Rippedflames? Raincloud, or Rainstorm? I need suggestions for Clawpaw and Spottedpaw's warrior name.
