Replies:
Bluepelt: I'm sorry, I know your name is Inakura, but I'm so used to Bluepelt, thats how its gonna stay... As for Shadow, true love always finds a way! But, oh my gosh, I feel so bad for what I'm going to do to Sparks, if I do do it. Its so mean, but it fits in perfectly with the plot. Muahaha, I love knowing more than someone about something, its usually the opposite at school, which sucks. But, about giving up...My friends say I'm a major push-over, but on somethings I'm rock solid. I guess not everyone is perfect, huh?
Strangefur: Well, most guys are pretty dumb when it comes to love, huh? (wait, REALLY sorry if your a guy, but I'm pretty sure you're a girl...unless you are a guy, then I'm going to feel really stupid...) I've never read Fable, is it good? Maybe I'll check it out if it is...who is it by?
GoTheDistance: This is Sam, right? I thought your computor was broken... thanks though.
Firewolf: Hey Firewolf, hows life? Havent talked to you in a while, hope life is good. And, by the way, I think this was from a long time ago, your email doesnt work on my email/computor, but do you have an AIM? If so, tell me cuz I have one too, and its instant messaging, which is pretty cool. But thanks for, well I dont know how to say it...family simpathy? That doesnt sound right, but you know what I mean, right? It means a lot. I mean, I don't really even know you, but I feel like I do, which is pretty cool.
DustFUR: Ya never know...I dont think I'm quite done with Shadow and Silver yet... ;)
Crazyhorsegirl3: I know how you're feeling. I remember reading about it in books, but they can never give you the actual feeling. But then again, it is different for everyone. I'm sad for you I hope your family is doing well. Anyway, as for Ridge...read the chapter!
JaBoyYa: Yea, well, how could I leave Ridge's/Silverpaw's (Ah, I dont know what to call him!) story unfinished. He was bugging me about writting for a while...
Thanks again to all y'all, for your time, prayers, and reviews. Hope you like the chapter.
DISCLAIMER: Has Hunter (cant remember her first name) made another book yet? Cuz I havent, because I'm not the owner of Warriors...
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
He was running. Again. Why was he running? Oh yea, because he was too scared to face his own problems.
Why can't I live my life with the pack?
Why can't I got back to the clan?
Why cant I have Shadow?
Why can't I have been born a mouse? A lot of things were easier for mice.
Why am I asking such stupid questions?
He shook his head, clearing his thoughts, and just kept on running.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Squirrelflight paced Leafpool's den, deep in thought.
She wouldn't tell Brambleclaw. He wasn't going to be their father. HE wouldn't have anything to do with them.
But then again, he would be such a good father, she thought as she turned to walk to the other side of the den.
Oh yeah. A great father, if he wasn't pretending I didn't exist. A little drawback.
Squirrelflight sighed and walked towards the freshkill pile, which, she noted, was running low. She should suggest to Graystripe about a hunting patrol.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Ok, now it had been 3 days of running. Wow, he sure was tired. He had to be almost there. Thunderclan cant be that far away…
The breeze brought the scent of rabbit, and he paused to catch lunch. After filling his stomach, he continued on, reaching moorland. He was almost there. He could feel it.
Did they want him back? After what he did to Firestar? It was an accident he reminded himself. Yea, but they don't know that… his snide side commented.
Shut up.
Make me.
Great, now I'm talking to myself.
He shook his head. The sooner he got to civilization, the better…
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Okay, so Graystripe didn't want a hunting patrol. He wanted a regular patrol. Fine. Like she cared. The whole clan could starve for all she cared.
Why was she feeling so snappy?
Oh yea. The whole pregnancy-thing. It's Brambleclaws fault. I blame him. He did this to me.
Of course. It was all his fault. She felt justified in blaming him.
The patrol, which consisted of her, Rainwhisker, Cloudtail, Sootpaw, and Whitebadger, set off towards the moorlands, which, Firestar speculated, they might need to watch, especially with Shadowclan and Riverclan waiting.
Squirrelflight snorted, not exactly knowing why.
I blame Brambleclaw.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Ridge was almost near the border, he could feel it. Now he was starting to worry. Should he go, or should he wait? Should he not even go? Going back to the pack sounded good…
No, he must return. Thunderclan was his home.
He took a deep breath and stepped into Thunderclan territory.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
There was nothing suspicious on the border so far, and they were almost about to turn back when a foul, unknown scent reached her nose. She stopped, as did all the others, and crinkled her nose in disgust. It was almost worse than Shadowclan.
Rainwhisker signaled with his tail for them to hide and see what the creature was, and Squirrelflights pelt bristled. Something here was not right…
As the creature stepped into view, she yowled in shock and happiness.
It was Silverpaw!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
He could feel them, hiding, but he didn't drop into a crouching position himself, so they wouldn't attack right away.
At least, that was what he was hoping.
Then he heard her. Squirrelflight! His mentor! He couldn't believe his luck. Of all the patrols, it was one with her in it.
Then his heart clenched. Would she accept him back?
She landed on top of him with her claws sheathed, and he nearly howled with joy.
He responded with a play swipe, using his paw like how Shadow taught him to do.
He accidentally threw her into a tree.
"Oops," he apologized.
"Oops is right, you stupid furball. Since when did you get so big? You were only gone for, well, about 3 weeks!" She said. He grinned. Her voice sounded weird, and his tongue had a bit of trouble forming the words, but other than that it came naturally.
But he then noticed that no one else had come up to greet him. His tail drooped, and he whined. Suddenly. Sootpaw launched himself onto Silverpaw's back playfully, and he knew that everything, somehow, would be alright.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The clan listened to his tale quietly. When he had first jumped over the barrier, all the cats had gotten ready to attack until they realized that he was Silverpaw, and then many started yowling and exclaiming their greetings. They were wary, of course. He was almost full grown now, his teeth were very sharp, and he smelled funny. But as he explained his story, it all didn't seem to mean anything. No matter what anyone said, they all had missed Silverpaw, and were glad to have him back. Even Firestar was smiling and asking him about his journey.
As Silverpaw looked around, he couldn't believe he had ever left. It was as IF he had never left. But if only he didn't have memories of Shadow and Sparks and Deathmoon and Sy and Virgo and everyone else to haunt him. Why couldn't life just be perfect?
I mean, he didn't tell them about Rust's evilness, and Shadow's love. But other than that, they knew pretty much everything. He got it off his chest.
So why didnt he feel complete?
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
A bit longer than last times. And better. Last chapter stunk, probably cuz it was the first one in 3 months...my own fault!
Thanks again,
BlindSeer
