AT THUNDERCLAN CAMP:SAME TIME THAT THE LAST CHAPTER ENDED

RAIN

I was pacing around in front of the Camp Entrance. "Why so much pacing?" A voice spoke. I gasped, it was Feathertail, Spottedpaw and Mosspaw's mother. "Nothing! I'm just bored." I lied. I am actually worried about my friends.

I saw my other friends Shorepaw, Sandpaw and few other Apprentices with their mentors. "Well?" I asked playing dumb. I knew they didn't find Spottedpaw and Mosspaw, they were far away from ThunderClan. "We didn't find them." Shorepaw meowed defeated, his head hanging. I felt bad for my friends, they must miss Spottedpaw and Mosspaw really bad. Like me they were friends with Spottedpaw and Mosspaw since we were born.

I looked at Shorepaw and gasped. He looked terrible, "What's wrong with your eyes?" I asked. "I haven't been getting much sleep." He answered. "Really, you've been working yourself to hard, four or five patrols for Hunting and Border Watch daily, mostly on the Border Patrol. Your going to get sick of lack of rest and food. You haven't been eating much." I told him worried. Why was he like this. Was this all because of our friends. I mean I miss them, too but I had to stay strong for their return.

Sandpaw seemed bad too, but not as bad. He was resting and eating and begin normal. Tonight was the Gathering maybe that will cheer them up, I hoped. It was time to eat. I saw Shorepaw look at the pile and pick out a mouse to share with his brother. He took a small bite and let his brother take a bite. Sandpaw offered him another bite, but he shook his head.

"He is slowly dying…." Snowgaze whispered sadly. We were in the Medicine Cats' Den. I was telling her about Shorepaw. "His brother Sandpaw seems fine… That's what puzzles me. Their both upset and grieving. Any ideas?" Snowgaze asked me. "He was really close to Spottedpaw. Closer than Sandpaw to Mosspaw. Maybe that's why?" I suggested. She was still thinking hard. "I only saw this once…" She whispered sadly her eyes brimming with tears. "What? What happened Snowgaze?" I asked desperately.

"You, and Spottedpaw are the only ones who know about this." She whispered. She made sure no one was listening. "A few Moons ago… When I first received my Medicine Cat name Snowgaze, I fell in love with the Medicine Cat Apprentice from WindClan …. Windeyes he was a handsome white tom with Owl-like grey eyes. We met together and were happy, but our time together was limited. One of his Cats were dying of Broken-Heart." she started "You mean Shorepaw is dying slowly of a Broken-Heart!" I exclaimed. She shrugged sadly.

"Sometimes when a heart-breaks, depending on how severe. Like how much they loved or cared for the cat who left, they could die. Because they lose the will to live." She murmured. So Shorepaw's losing the will to live now!

Her eyes lost in memory. "He asked if I can come over to try and help but we couldn't mend the She-Cat's Broken-heart. She died shortly." She continued. "Unfortunately during my visit, while I was there, Flowerheart and Eaglewing found out about my forbidden relationship with Windeyes and forced us to end it." She said sadly once more. " I found out at the next Half-Moon that Windeyes died at the last Quarter-Moon from broken-Heart as well. I nearly died myself but Flowerheart nursed me and kept me living until I was healthy again and hear I am." Snowgaze murmured.

"It still hurts me… But I know that when I join StarClan, I can be with my lover." She whispered. "Oh Snowgaze!" I cried, I wrapped my tail around her. "Please keep this a secret ,Spottedpaw promised and now I need you to as well." She begged. I nodded. "I promise!" I declared. My mother Silverpelt and my father Riverfur padded in along with Spottedpaw and Mosspaw's parents Feathertail and Stormtail.

We followed them out. Echostar paced around the clearing. "Will you announce Spottedpaw and Mosspaw's disappearance tonight at the Gathering." Sunpelt asked, The Deputy. "I will not at this Gathering, we must wait they might come back before the next full moon." She announced. "Do you know anything about their disappearance Rainpaw?" Echostar stared at me with her piercing eyes.

"No!" I said evenly. It was hard to lie with her staring at me. I felt like I was going to melt. I saw my sister Hawkpelt and our brother Brightfire. I took that as a excuse to get away . I pelted to them. We all walked to the Gathering. I could sense everyone begin tense. Well that's how its been since Echostar announced Spottedpaw and Mosspaw's disappearance.

SHORE

I padded on the Tree-Bridge with Sandpaw, and I ran to the other side. "Be careful you might fall and break your neck!" Sandpaw warned. "I don't care!" I yowled at him, and I jumped off the Tree-Bridge. I didn't feel the reason to live any more, but I won't die. I padded into the Clearing, I sensed a cat next to me. I jumped when I saw Silverpaw, the meanest, most rude and self-absorbed Apprentice in all of the Clans smiling sweetly at me. I was getting scared, when ever SILVERPAW is nice she wants something!

" Hi Shorepaw…" she purred sweetly, running her tail over my pelt and on my cheek. I was trying hard not to fidget. I tried to ignore her. But she kept bothering me. Spottedpaw would have said. 'That's because your to sweet and polite to be rude, just ignore her and she'll go away.' She always had good advice. I felt my tears swelling up, I swiped at a few betraying tears escaping down my cheek.

I excused myself from Silverpaw who thankfully stayed, Owlstar of WindClan was starting the Meeting. I padded outside to the Shore. "Spottedpaw… were ever you are I miss you…" I started. "You promised you wouldn't leave me!" I cried out to the starry night and Full moon.

Then I saw, I don't if I'm imagining this but, I think I see the stars going next to each other , like right next to each other forming Spottedpaw's beautiful face, I started to cry. Then Silverpaw padded out, the stars suddenly broke apart. When I cried I felt very vulnerable.

"Hey are you okay…?" She asked softly. "I'm fine" I hissed. She looked scared. "It's okay…. I'm sorry Silverpaw." I apologized. She looked at me her eyes shining.

I padded back to the clearing, strangely Silverpaw stayed with me the whole time….

SPOTTED

It is night on the Full Moon. I was explaining to Winter, Sky and Mud about the Gathering, the Full-Moon truce, and everything else. When I felt something, also I don't know if I'm imagining things but I think I see the stars began to form a shape, they were like right next to each other. I gasped it was Shorepaw's handsome face.

I suddenly heard Shorepaw in my mind and I saw him at the Island Shore looking up at the Moon and Stars. "Spottedpaw…Were ever you are I miss you…" He whispered. "You promised you wouldn't leave me!" he cried. Then I saw Silverpaw pad towards him, I could fell hate and jealousy for some weird reason burn in my blood.

"I really hurt him badly didn't I?" I asked out loud, Winter, and the Kits went to get some food. "He really cares about you…" Sorrelpelt whispered. She is here to do some training and experimenting. "Try and… see and hear what's in that bush quite away from us." she insisted. I focused, "The more you get experienced you can do it in an instant and it will be easier." Sorrelpelt encouraged me. I focused and saw a pheasant in the bush… Shorepaw's favorite type of prey. .. I started to cry, I've been gone almost a full moon.

I went to sleep, I had a Nightmare, It was were I arrived back at ThunderClan and Shorepaw had a mate…. And it was SilverPaw! I woke up screaming. Why was I having this dream… Well it was scary, My closest friend begin mates with my worst enemy. I shuddered a that horrid thought. Mosspaw and Winter rushed over to me. "Are you okay!" They asked in union. Oh great they are doing it, Mosspaw found a new union buddy!

" I had a Nightmare! It was were when we arrived at ThunderClan,-" I gasped for air. I already told Winter Shorepaw is my best friend. "That Shorepaw had a mate and it…. Was…. Silverpaw, my arch enemy." I cried.

Winter put her tail on my shoulders. "Don't worry Spottedpaw…" She cooed. Sky and Mud ran to me. "What's wrong and why is Spottedpaw crying?" Sky asked hurriedly, while flinging and burring herself in my fur. I sniffled feeling better with the sweet kit begin so loyal to me. "I mean we all, Me Mosspaw, Sandpaw AND Shorepaw all have said we hate Silverpaw, excuse me but she's the biggest brat of the Clans!". I exclaimed..

We all got up next dawn, all ready to keep heading North till we received another Star-Sign. I was asked to survey the area, I climbed a tree and surveyed it without my power. I could see it was clear. "All Clear!" I shouted to my group, I launched myself from the top of the tree, and landed quite a few feet away from it. A few feet away from the group.

"Stop showing off!" Mosspaw told me irritated. "I'm not that's me jumping normally. Look at this!" I exclaimed. I ran up a tree and launched myself actually trying and went pretty far. I pelted to the group and shot my sister a 'Well!' face. We need to move fast.

Thankfully Mosspaw was one of the fastest Cats in the Clan. I mean while was traveling by tree, thankfully, we were in a forest were the trees where closer together than In the field. I saw Mud chasing after Mosspaw. "Wait for me!" Mud shouted at Mosspaw, She slowed down. I was glad I am in the trees because I could think.…

RAIN

I woke up, I saw Shorepaw get up, he was still looking terrible. At least last night he got a little sleep. I saw Silverpaw bounce to him, "Heyyy Shorepaw!" she exclaimed. "Hi Silverpaw.." he trailed off, he seemed scared of Silverpaw, although she does make kits cry . I mused. "Want to go hunting?" She asked, "Sure…" He agreed awkwardly. Poor Shorepaw.

I padded into Snowgaze's den. She looked at me questioningly. "What's up with Silverpaw and Shorepaw?" I asked. "What!" Snowgaze demanded. " You know what I'm talking about!" I declared. She shuddered. She seemed guilty, like she overheard something

"I heard something last night…. It was Silverpaw. She must have been talking with someone, someone unseen. She said. 'Finally! I will start getting closer to Shorepaw I will be able to get back at Spottedpaw!' Silverpaw declared to her unseen ally. I don't know who she was talking to but I didn't seem good " Snowgaze told me sighing.

"Silverpaw… scheming… I'm confused." I thought out loud. I saw Shorepaw and Silverpaw pad in together, their tails twined. My jaw dropped, Shorepaw still seemed sad but better, I was shocked. Him and Silverpaw! It seems totally unnatural!

I could not stop staring at Shorepaw with… with the enemy! I saw Sandpaw walked into the clearing, I raced up to him, wrapped my tail around his neck and dragged him into the brush. "What in the name of StarClan is going on!" I demanded. He looked at me scared then calmed down. "What are you talking about!" He hissed. "About Shorepaw and Silverpaw!" I hissed back at him.

"What!" he whispered horrified. "My brother with…. Silverpaw!" He whispered…

SPOTTED

I padded up to the Camp we made for the night. I had a Pheasant and a fish from a nearby river. I dropped them on a pile of Fresh-Kill.

I had a weird feeling. I saw Mosspaw playing with Mud. The were only three Quarter-Moons old, but they were starting to get big. "Where's Sky?" I asked aloud. I sensed Sky up in the oak tree I'm standing under. She was getting ready to pounce right behind me and scare me.

I saw her jump and land behind me with a soft thud. "Hello Sky…" I meowed calmly. I looked over my shoulder at her. "Aw… Your no fun to pounce on!" she exclaimed. I pretended to be hurt and start to fake cry. "I'm so sorry Spottedpaw!" She started to wail. "Got you!" I exclaimed, She started to calm down.

I swished my tail playfully for her, her ears perked, and she pounced on my tail. I picked her up by the scruff and carried her over up a tree, and put her next to her sister in a nest of Sheep's wool, we had the nest in the tree in a hollow like an owl so they would be protected.

I started to climb down when I saw the owl come by the owl was a pretty Snowy Owl with Crystal blue eyes, I started freaked out. 'We don't mean any harm!' I said panicking. I know the owl couldn't hear me. 'My hollow is in this Oak tree!' The owl screeched at me. 'Fine! I will remove the kits just don't hurt them…Wait how do you here me…?' I asked. 'Wait do you hear and understand me?' The owl asked.

I nodded. The Owl gave me a confused look. 'Are you an Apprentice?' She asked. 'Yes but how do you know that, about Apprentices.' I asked starting to get a funny feeling.

'Oh in the name of StarClan are you five cats form the four clans around the lake, ThunderClan, WindClan, RiverClan and ShadowClan?' The owl asked me.

I nodded, my tail curled protectively around the sleeping kits. I started at the Owl suspiciously. 'I doubt StarClan mentioned this but I was sent to the Five Cats of prophecy to guide them to Sun-Drown Place. Two of the youngest Cats them happened to be mentioned in another prophecy who also have powers. One of the Cats' powers was that their senses where increased as high as some of the tallest trees in the forest, who also has the ability to talk to other animals.' The Owl explained to me.

I was having trouble processing all of how this owl knew all of this information. 'Trust me!' The Owl exclaimed. 'Give me some knowledge on the Clans and I will believe you!' I exclaimed, The owl shrugged and perched on the Hollows' edge. 'What are the Six Clans?' I asked. 'ThunderClan, RiverClan, WindClan, ShadowClan, SkyClan, and StarClan.' The Owl answered without hesitating I nodded approvingly. 'Whast are the current Leaders of the Clans around the lake?' I asked. 'Echostar of ThunderClan, Owlstar of RiverClan, Nightstar of ShadowClan and Mudstar of RiverClan.' The owl spoke again.

I thought hard. 'Besides me and Mosspaw name four other Apprentices of ThunderClan.' I gave my final question. 'Silverpaw, Rainpaw, Sandpaw… And Shorepaw.' The Owl answered. I froze…. Shorepaw…. I started to cry silently, I swiped at betraying tears escaping down my cheek.

'I'm sorry I mentioned Shorepaw.' I owl seemed to know why I was sad, Sorrelpelt appeared right next to me. "Believe her! StarClan did send her to guide you." She explained, She disappeared. I stared at the owl. "Fine I trust you!" I wailed at her, accidentally wailed aloud, awaking the kits and having everyone rush to me. "Are you okay Spottedpaw?" Winter asked hurriedly, she started to screech when she saw the owl.

"Its okay everyone! StarClan sent the owl t guide us to the Sun-Drown place." I exclaimed. Everyone stared at me. Would they believe me…

RAIN

Sandpaw stared at me. "My brother…. With Silverpaw!" he whispered horrified. He peered out of the brush to see Silverpaw and Shorepaw's sitting together, tails twined. "What's going on!" I exclaimed while whispering. "I don't know. He was upset and grieving about Spottedpaw and now still upset he's with Silverpaw! This very strange." he declared softly.

I was freaking out on the inside. I saw Silverpaw and Shorepaw talking, I saw Shorepaw lean over and whisper something into Silverpaw's ear and she giggled. "I think I'm going to throw-up!" I groaned. Sandpaw agreed. I put on a brave face and padded out into the clearing and headed towards the two cats.

"Hey can I speak to Shorepaw alone?" I asked. They both seemed reluctant, but I didn't give them a chance to answer, I put my tail around Shorepaw's neck and dragged him into the brush with Sandpaw.

Shorepaw looked at us curiously. "What's wrong?" he asked, his voice even with confusion and annoyance. I didn't care about his tone at the moment. "What do you mean what's wrong!" I practically shrieked at him but kept it in a whisper.

"You and… Silverpaw!" Sandpaw spat. "It's like Cats and Dogs living in harmony!" We spat together at Shorepaw. He stared us his fur starting to bristle, His eyes flashing. "What about Silverpaw!" he exclaimed angrily. I know I was going to regret asking this…. " What about Spottedpaw!" I exclaimed back at him. He sat down, his eyes became dull and his fur became flat. "You don't need to ask about my life like that!" he spat, he got up and stalked back to Silverpaw…

"And the Plot thickens as the say…" Sandpaw murmured. I nodded. "Wait were did you here that saying?" I asked. "I heard it around somewhere." he shrugged.

Things become more Mysterious…..
