This is the epilogue for this fic. Warning, it's pretty short, but I think it does its job. Please also note that I added on to chapter 9, don't worry, it doesn't effect the plot, but you should still check it out.

Disclaimer: You should know what this is supposed to say by now.

This chapter goes out to Mistystream Sootfur's Loyalty.

Previously…

Suddenly, a head peeked into Rainpaw's hiding place.

"Well, well, what do we have here?" purred Smallstar.

Epilogue:

Smallstar's POV

"What is it, Small-" Heatherfur said, abruptly stopping when she poked her head though the bushes and let her eyes rest on Rainpaw.

The leader and deputy exchanged a knowing glance, hinted with disbelief.

One thought and one thought only went through the young leader's head: Is it her?

"You're Rainpaw, Windfur's apprentice, am I correct?" Smallstar questioned, her voice full of authority.

Rainpaw gave a weak nod.

"Follow me out of these bushes, Rainpaw," she ordered.

Rainpaw obeyed.

Is it her?

Her warriors positioned themselves around the WindClan apprentice. Rainpaw looked terrified.

Her former apprentice, Mistystream, shot Rainpaw a questioning look. She could see that the apprentice was not a threat; Mistystream was bold and sometimes irrational, but not stupid. Smallstar could tell, though, that her warrior thought the appearance of the apprentice was, for lack of a better term, odd.

Smallstar couldn't blame the young warrior. In fact, she shared her curiosity.

But Smallstar had a theory.

"Rainpaw," Smallstar began, "please explain to my warriors what you are doing on our territory, and why it appeared that the ShadowClan warriors were chasing you."

Rainpaw seemed stuck, as if she wasn't sure what to do next.

"I would like you to tell me the truth," Smallstar said, this time more forcefully.

Rainpaw spoke.

Smallstar came to a conclusion.

The chosen one has come…

Fin.

DUN DUN DUN DUN!! Ends with a cliffy! How cruel am I?

Answer: Very.

Anyway, yes it's true, it's over (I cried when I typed this! I'm NOT KIDDING). I, Patronus Charm, have completed my first Fanfic!!

This is the credits portion of this chapter. You DO NOT have to read this.

First off I would like to thank everyone who reviewed, your encouragement and your critic have been a great help, but above all, these are the people I would like to thank.

My beta, and first EVER reviewer, Queen Annie Ferny Cullen.

My co authors, Snowstorm25 and Leafdrop for putting up with my nagging and for doing all that they did to make this thing what it is.

My friend Sakura, for giving it a chance.

Mistystream, Littlewhisker, Cinderdreams, and Rosepelt, for giving that annoying newbie author a go. 

And finally last but not least, my friend TonksxAngelsxsoulmate, for putting up with our long boring warriors related discussions at the lunch table.

Here is some more random information you most likely don't care about, how the idea for the story came to be.

The characters actually came first, Rainpaw and Snowpaw. When Snowstorm25 and I were younger, when we first started reading warriors, we sort of had our own role play type thing. Our characters (though the names changed many times) were the beginning of Snowpaw and Rainpaw. Leafpaw joined the group many years later, when we met Leafdrop. Around the same time, I had discovered fanfiction. Threw a Google search of "ThunderClan", I found a link to the c2, ThunderClan Tales, thus beginning my fanfiction obsession. I eventually wanted to try writing a story; though at that time I had little faith in my writing skills, asked Leafdrop and Snowstorm25 to help me. After many brainstorming sessions and arguments, we finally came up with the basis of the early plot drafts, and we were on the road to be coming fanfiction writers.

(Those of you who didn't read that last part can start reading again)

I will be publishing the prequel soon, the sequels sadly won't be out until September 2008.

If you enjoyed this story, you'll find others like it in my c2, Warriors My Way. You'll also want to check out my upcoming story, Bloodline.

Until next time,

Patronus OUT!!

p.s- Love you all!
