OMG, FORGIVE ME! I never meant for this to take so long, but I've been busy, not to mention I have a few… err… boy problems…. o/o

Totally embarrassing.

Anyway, I tried to make this as good as possible. It's also a bit long, but most of it will be flashbacks with *cough* new characters *cough* and that was kinda screwed up, but I'll try…

Argh! You get my point.

Wolfy POV

I stirred, opening my eyes and waves of information flooding my senses. A warm pelt pressed next to mine. The tang of herbs- catmint, marigold, horsetail, berries, and more- in the air. The bars of light angling across the floor, with dust motes swirling around- sunset.

And how could I miss everyone's favorite grumpy medicine cat?

"You're finally awake!" he exclaimed, his sightless blue eyes wide. I chuckle a bit. "Yeah… What happened?" My voice is raspy, quiet. Jaypaw blinked and settled near me.

"Well… as far as I know, you had some sort of seizure. Those herbs Bloodfur gave really helped-" "Bloodfur?" I turned to see Haku's cat form was the one curled around me. My fur went hot, but I snuggled closer to him. Jaypaw raised a non-existent eyebrow. "Anyway, he knew a herb that helped. After that, he carried you back to camp and asked to join Thunderclan. Russetfur was really worried- she seemed to have taken quite a liking to you. You've been out cold for two days. The eclipse happened already, no one panicked. We heard Riverclan and Windclan yowling like a bunch of badgers were at their heels."

I snickered at the mental image I got. Jaypaw continued.

"Firestar let Bloodfur join after he fought Brambleclaw. Two seconds and Father was on the ground, pinned. The whole clan was shocked, even more so when he said he knew you. You and him came from the same place. Kit-friends. He never left this place, though, not even to eat. He has some sort of powers too, like you. When he was angry, on the shore, some cats told me the wind blew harder and the waves crashed against the shore, loud as thunder."

"Don't forget the trees," a voice cut in. I turned my head to see a very-much awake Haku- no, Bloodfur- cutting in."They leaned in and the branched started swaying as if possessed. "

I glomped him, burying my nose into his fur. "Mouse-brain." I murmured. He laughed and quickly licked my ear, causing my pelt to spark. "Hey, I can't totally control that power! Not my fault!" I chuckled a bit at that.

"Oh yeah…. Wolfsong, cats appeared in Thunderclan." Jaypaw said worriedly. "Everyone can remember them, but I, Lionpaw, and Hollypaw can't!" My ears perked up at that. "Can I… we… see them?" I asked. He nodded, glancing at Bloodfur. He helped me up, and I leaned against his sunset-red fur to support myself.

We first went to the nursery. Inside there was Daisy, Mille, and two other cats I had never seen before.

She was a pretty, dark, tortoiseshell with orange splotches and eyes like green emeralds. There was a tom leaning over her, grooming her ears. He was a white tom with golden streaks running through his pelt like lightning and yellow eyes. Three small kits were snuggled next to her, sound asleep. One was a brown tom with a white head and paws. There was a she-cat that looked sort of like her mother, just lighter colors. Finally, there was a golden she-cat. None of them had opened their eyes yet.

"This is Spottedfire. Her mate is Lightningstrike, the tom next to her." Jaypaw quickly said. I nodded my hello and turned to see their kits. "They're beautiful…" I said softly. "Yes, they are." Spottedfire said. I watched them for a while. "What are their names?" I asked. "We don't give them names until they open their eyes." Lightningstrike cut in. "It seems better. More fitting." He explained. I nodded, briefly touching Spottedfire on the head. "I hope we can be friends." "Of course." She purred. "After all, loners stick together, don't they?" "You were a loner?" "Me and Lightningstrike both. So is Flowerfur and Wildmask. We'll be best friends!" I looked at them. Mother, Father, three kits. A happy family.

"Best friends."

Flowerfur was another human.

She was another tortoishell and white she-cat with green eyes. She wouldn't tell me or Bloodfur her real name. She had something called 'Okami Ressurection Beads' as her power. It looked like a string of purple pearls around her neck, and she told the clan
she got it when she fell into the Moonpool. She can also climb up anything. Her memory is fuzzy, but I like her. When we met her she was with a friend, Wildmask. Also a human.

Wildmask was a brown tabby with green eyes and white paws. She was kinda shy, but after a while, she stopped and I found that she was caring and kind.

She was once a human but then she found a warriors book and was teleported here. She didn't have many friends as a human, and was happier here than as a human. When she came here, a kittypet opened up to her and they became friends. She knew she had to leave though, so she sadly said goodbye to her friend and came here. She was also eyeing Foxleap.

"Ok, so we all know each other." commented Flowerfur. "What I want to know is, why are we all here? And what are your powers?"

"Well, my powers are the Byakugan, which you know (they were 'otakus') and I used to have the blade of the Thunder spirit. After a while, though, I took my old blade. Bloodfur…"

"I can become a shadow." he said, his tail flicking. "And all shadows are made of the same darkness, so every shadow is connected. I can travel with that faster than light. I can also control the very earth, depending on what I feel. " We she-cats gape at him- that was powerful. Very powerful.

"And we're here to stop the Place of no Stars." I said after a while. "When I was unconscious, I saw Rock and he told me, 'you and the others must defeat the Dark forest. You and the others must find others, for they live on fear and terror- they are as strong as Starclan now. You must be ready. You have two moons before I call you again.' What does he mean, you and the others must find others? They live on fear and terror?"

"He's talking about the dark forest." Bloodfur shrugged. "They are one of the shadows, just like me. Others must find others, though… I have no idea."

Me and Bloodfur said goodbye after a while and left. "They seemed nice." I commented. "Yeah…"

We watched Rosekit and Toadkit play fight. The stars were just coming out, and we shared tongues, grooming each other.

"Agh!" I complained. "This tuft won't lie down!" He chuckled as I managed to get his fur to lie flat and lied down next to him.

"You know, this life isn't so bad." he mumbled.

"Tell me about it." I remarked as we slowly fell asleep.
