YAY! NEXT CHAPPIE! My computer is screwed, it won't send me the reviews sooooo yeah...WHY DID NO ONE REEVIEW EVEN THOUGH THE LAST TIME I WROTE TWO CHAPTERS!?

Aquapaw stared up at the sky. It was only afternoon and yet she felt so tired. She padded to the apprentices den and curled up into a ball with her nose touching her tailtip, "I'm just gonna take a nap...only...for...a...while..."

"Midnight." Aquapaw heard Spottedleaf murmur into her ear, "Trust Midnight, I'm sending her to you now..." The tortoise-shell disappeared into the air, and was replaced by a dark looming figure.

"Hello Aquapaw." Aquapaw heard a heavy accented voice. Out of the shadows came an old badger, this was not what she expected, she bared her fangs and snarled, "Don't get closer."

The badger chuckled, "Midnight I am, meesage from StarClan have I for you." Aquapaw relaxed her fur and dipped her head in apology, "Sorry." Midnight's deep voice continued,

"Beware Blazing Ember

Hatred, soul has been covered with

Over come the River and Wind he will

BlazeTribe he shall rule in cruelty

Sun, Storm, and Aqua,

Must escape into the Thunder, with Moon

Safe they shall not be if they stay"

Aquapaw did not understand the new message but respectfully nodded as the old badger lumbered away. Midnight turned her head slightly, "Doom will come if they do not go."

And with the last words ringing in her mind, Midnight left.

"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather around the Fallen Tree for a Clan meeting!" Aquapaw scrambled to her paws and headed towards the oak tree that lay in the middle of the camp.

"I've chosen those to go to the Gathering, Darkshadow, Minnowscale, Forestfur, Creampearl, Blackstripe, Rippedpaw, Pebblepelt..." The list went on, finally, Sunstar stopped, "Aquapaw, all who've heard their name called follow me!"

Aquapaw met Stormingblizzard's green eyes from faraway, though it was on the other side, the moonlight caught his fur again and made it glow like soft snow, his eyes glimmered with hurt, but she ignored it.

Aquapaw tossed her head to the side and went with Goldenpaw and Rippedpaw. Stormingblizzard creeped up to her and nudged her side, "Look, I need to talk to you." "Why? Then you're just gonna tear me apart like the last time."

Aquapaw retorted. "Please." Aquapaw muttered, "Alright..." She looked back at the other apprentices and padded after Stormingblizzard, "Blossomfeather was lying, I'm telling you, she was, I love you, not her."

Aquapaw heaved a sigh and licked his muzzle affectionatley, "I love you too...but you are hiding something, aren't you?" "...Well...everybody expects me to be her mate, but they don't know I love another Clan cat."

Aquapaw nuzzled him softly, "Thank you for telling me, we have to go our seperate ways now, they're about to start." Stormingblizzard nodded and bolted away to his friends, Aquapaw doing the same.

"Cats of all Clans! Welcome to the Gathering, Sunstar would you like to start first?" Aquapaw's heart nearly skipped a beat, would he talk about Blazeflames? She half holped and half didn't.

"Foxcunning's kits are ready to be apprentices, tomorrow actually, Flamingkit and Shadekit, also, Forestfur has found herself pregnant again, congradulations to her, this'll be her second litter!"

Aquapaw let out a sigh of relief, he had not mentioned Blazeflames. But her joy was soon crushed when , "There is something else..." Sunstar mewed when Firestar was about to step up.

"We've found Blazeflames in our territory...in exile..." Onestar replied steadily, "Yes, he is, wasn't he the one who convinced our innocent kits to somehow invade RiverClan, and in the process, on nearly drowned? He deserves it."

Sunstar dipped his head slightly, "Forgive me for questioning your desicion, Firestar you may go." Aquapaw exhaled, atleast no one really had much against him, although Blazeflams was rude, they were siblings.

It was a bond nothing could possibly break. Aquapaw noticed that Goldenpaw somehow felt the same way, her body went rigid still when they had mentioned Blazeflames in the conversation.

"Moonflower...she's..." Aquapaw's ear flatened when she heard Firestar, "She's pregnant, again, but we do not know who's kits they are..." Sunstar flinched, it was unnoticable, but his daughters saw it.

Surely...they wouldn't give away a secret that only concered ThunderClan and RiverClan, would they? Aquapaw felt the tension in the air and saw Firstar clearing his throat calmly, inwardly, he was planning,

"I think it was...Ashfur's am I right?" Aquapaw transfered her gaze towards her mother who was bobbing her head up and down. "Right, Ashfur's the father." Firestar continued sending a warning glance at the gray warrior.

"If you are wondering, Moonflower and Squirrelflight came to the Gathering because they wanted this time to last..." He had an amused glint in his eyes as he said this.(An: I wrote this incase you were confused why they were there)

Aquapaw collapsed on the floor, this Gathering had so much tension, she couldn't bear it, "And Squirrelflight's pregnant too! Brambleclaw's the father of them, their birth is coming soon."

Aquapaw watched Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight beam with pride. Then she wondered, what would it be like to have kits? Excited maybe, maybe nervous. Her mind trailed off to Stormingblizzard and she blushed.

"GREAT STARCLAN WHAT HAPPENED HERE!?" Sunstar yowled out in surprise as he led the group of cats-that went to the Gathering-back into destroyed RiverClan camp. "Blazeflames."

That named escaped his lips as he examined closer. Aquapaw's eyes widend, today wasn't the best of days...She padded towards the crushed fern where her brother used to be, it was empty...without a sign of life.

Aquapaw crept into the nursery where Foxcunning lay, murmuring to her near six-moon-old kits. "What happened?" She squeaked out nervously, "I don't know, I saw this...this firey-coat, the exiled one possibly?"

Aquapaw almost stumbled over her own paws, because of what Foxcunning said, but also because she had heard a shout of agony echoe through the ruined camp. "Badgerstrength!"

Foxcunning cried out, leaping to her paws. Aquapaw followed after the quivering nursery queen into the warrior's den, where Badgerstrength lay, writheing in pain, he let out a hiss, jerked once, and his body went still.

"No..." Foxcunning pressed her muzzle against his bloody flank and blinked back falling tears. Aquapaw felt the flames of rage flicker in her soul, "Why, why would Blazeflames do this? He has a heart, everyone does..."

"Dear Sister, you see now, I must rule over RiverClan, I must! I'll conquer RiverClan, and then, I shall have my revenge...REVENGE FOR WHAT MOTHER AND FATHER HAS DONE TO ME!"

Aquapaw winced, "ARE YOU INSANE!?" She yowled back. "No...no! Blame our parents, they drowned me, yet I lived! StarClan has let me live to kill, kill father...kill mother! Why else...oh sister...why they let me live?"

I'm sorry if it was sucky, I'm in a writer's block, I think only for this story though...and please, review for the first two chapters ok!? I LOVE REVIEWS! BLAZEFLAMES IS IN INSANE! AAAAAAAAAH!
