Mein gott [ My God, there's some German for ya ]

I love this pairing to much, but now I'm rushing this story.

I wanna move on to Icecloud and Lionblaze,

as well as my other Crow and Leaf.

Review, the usual.

I woke by myself this time, not by Ivytail or anyone else. It was when the sun had just finished rising, and I smiled. I pulled myself out of the moss bed and stretched. Were the rest of my clan up yet? I could tell that ShadowClan was mostly awake, as well as Russetfur who I could see from the entrance. I smoothed my pelt down to look better and moved out of this den tiredly, my limbs aching from how I had slept.

I automatically moved to the leader's den when I didn't see any of my clan awake yet. I went through that tunnel and approached Blackstar. He was deep in thought, staring off into space, until he realized me and shook his head, his eyes focusing on me now. He didn't look mad as usual, just frustrated. I probably would be as well, if I was a leader and all. He probably had to deal with so much.

"Yes, Crowfeather? What is it?" He questioned, moving his eyes to look back at me. His tail twitched, and I could feel my own ear doing the same. I yawned slightly without realizing it, and responded, "Shall we go get WindClan? They'll be worried about me, and send for a patrol for ThunderClan in a moment.." They probably already knew that I had been kidnapped, but I didn't know.

Without a word, he nodded. When he spoke, his voice seemed to be cracking. "Wake your warriors and your apprentice, and send them with you. You can all ask if a large majority of WindClan could come to my camp and accompany us to attack and raid ThunderClan for its.. Leader." His voice came out as a snicker. Did he not want to do it anymore? I didn't ask. I tried to smile and dipped my head, going out to the tunnel and exiting the den.

I headed to where they had kept the others, and saw all of them sleeping in separate corners, looking cold. Heatherpaw's leg twitched, and I couldn't help but laughing, moving to wake my own son first. I nudged him twice, three times. His head sprung up, wondering what I needed, but lay it back down when he saw it was just me. I didn't move again until he spoke. "Yeah, Dad?"

I explained the plan that Blackstar had given me, and what we were going to do now, and he nodded to me. He obviously didn't want to invade a clan, but I realized then that they had killed his mother. Well, I had realized it, but I didn't realize that he had been so calm about it, rather I killed Sorreltail for killing my mate, even though I hadn't loved her. He must have been dying inside.

We awoke everyone else and told them of the plan when they were all awake, and they nodded, sleepy. They stretched and groomed themselves for a few moments until we had to leave, and I forced them all to do so. I yawned softly, and that made everyone else yawn. I marched out of the camp with everyone else following me, and ShadowClan eyes on us. Surely, when we were gone, Blackstar would tell them what we were doing..

Within a couple of minutes, we were already at the ancient oak of ThunderClan. We soon reached our own clan, which we ran even faster to. I could tell everyone wanted to see home, but I then realized that no one would be waiting for me there. Except my mother; I wanted to see her so bad. She was the only one left in my own clan for me. I sighed and ran faster.

When we reached camp, we busted in, and we walked towards the leader's den where Onestar lay, bloody and bruised from the previous day's fight, but he still smiled at all of us, and his face brightened. He now knew we were alive, but some how when he looked at me he looked like he showed pity to me. Maybe for Nightcloud, I didn't know. Did he know she was dead?

I began to explain everything to Onestar and he was only nodding through all of it, sympathetic. When we mentioned Firestar his eyes clouded, but he was still listening. When I asked him what he thought of the whole thing, his brows furrowed. He didn't look like he liked it. But he had to know it was for the clan, for my kits! For one of the only things I had left in my clan..

"Well, Crowfeather.. Why didn't you come to me first? I was worried that all of you didn't make it." He eyed all of us, and smiled lightly. He was still Onestar, no matter what he said. "I know, Onestar. I should have, I'm sorry." I responded, my head down in shame. But he only smiled at me and said that it was fine, and he would gather all of his warriors except one to guard the clan - Who looked like it would be Weaselfur.

Everyone else would come, except the elders and Barkface. They would stay; there wasn't a possibility that they would get attacked. I tried to smile at the thought, and prayed to StarClan that they wouldn't get attacked by RiverClan. But what did we have that they needed? I smiled as Onestar gathered up everyone he needed, explaining what they were doing.

I then realized I hadn't seen my mom yet. I looked over to Onestar and asked him where she was. His brow furrowed once again as he looked at me. "Crowfeather, I didn't tell you, I'm appointing you as deputy." I frowned, and blinked at what he had told me. We already had a deputy, Ashfoot, my own mother! I couldn't take her place like that, it would be wrong. I began to speak again, but Onestar stopped me, obviously to explain.

"Crowfeather, your mother died in the invasion with Firestar just after you left. She lost to much blood, and she was so close.. We didn't know. I'm sorry, Crowfeather."
