Hello everyone, Marrowfrost is finally back! Finally got started on finishing chapter 10, and here it is! We're almost halfway through the story!(Then I can start on "The Jade Destroyer")

And since we now know our three main characters, I think it's finally time to start guessing which of the three will be Ravenpaw's mate! (I mean, I did make it [Ravenpaw, OC] for a reason...) Leave your guesses in your reviews (Marrowfrost is too lazy to make a poll). And speaking of reviews...

Kuu :3 - 1) Well I couldn't kill off Wasppaw this early in the story! StarClan has some plans for her. I'll be honest, I was on the fence about on Sandpaw. But she lived too. 2) Well now you're about to find out!

Also, I might not update this story as much, because of my Miitopia story, "Violetsbane". But I mean, practically the same OCs are used for it so...if you want to read more about Violet, then...here's a little something to keep you busy in the meanwhile.

And another little something that was brought up in a previous review, OC submission. Yes, I'll accept OCs now. The rules are posted at the bottom of the text.


Wasppaw's fur was bristling. Not out of anger, but out of fear. The last time she'd seen Violet, that was from a distance. Now she had to talk directly to SkyClan's leader. Not only that, but with all the cats watching. This is going to be nerve wracking. She saw Blaze wearily stand up and walk over to the two cats curled up together. Judging by the way they're sleeping together, they must be mates.

"Jayson, Violet called a Clan meeting." Blaze mewed, prodding the gray tabby with her paw. Is that her mentor? I think so.

He opened an eye. "Violet's done what?" Jayson grumbled.

"She's called a Clan meeting. She probably wants everyone to be there."

Jayson carefully got up, making sure he wouldn't wake up the tortoiseshell she-cat sleeping next to him. "Holly, you couldn't've picked a more stupid sleeping position."

The tortoiseshell she-cat stretched her legs. "It's not stupid it's…" She paused to yawn. "How I fell asleep. Now, which one of you woke me up?" There was an edge to her voice.

"Technically Violet did." Blaze muttered under her breath.

Jayson seemed to hear Blaze. "Well Blaze woke me up, so here's your prey." Blaze's eyes widened. She immediately started running towards the exit with her limp. Holly snarled at her and then chased her. Even we don't do that in ThunderClan...SkyClan is weird.

"Well, I've managed to get rid of those two. So both of you come with me." Jayson ordered. Wasppaw and Sandpaw said nothing and followed the medicine cat to the camp.

Jayson looked at both young she-cats. "Hopefully Violet doesn't lose her temper with you. We'd hate to start anything with the other Clans at the moment." I'd hate that, too...not to mention that the pair of green eyes could be here!

"How often does Violet lose it?" Sandpaw asked. At first Wasppaw thought she was being rude, but she then realised she was curious.

"Eh...depends on who you are and what you did." Jayson looked uncomfortable at the mention. I wonder how he got on Violet's bad side, then. He stopped suddenly. "Well, you both stay here. Violet will be out shortly." He padded over to Holly, who was holding Blaze by the scruff. Poor Blaze, Wasppaw sighed sympathetically.

Wasppaw shared a look with Sandpaw. Sandpaw was trying to look all tough, but Wasppaw could tell her sister was just as scared about what will happen to them. Don't worry, Sandpaw. I'm just as scared. Wasppaw saw a pale gray and white tabby pelt standing in a grove in the cave wall. It was Violet, who had a stern expression upon her face.

"So we have two little ThunderClan apprentices in SkyClan territory. Why are you here?" Violet grumbled, loud enough for every cat to hear. I don't think she's in the most forgiving mood today.

Sandpaw spoke first, in her usual snarky tone. "It isn't any of your-" Sandpaw stopped when she saw Violet's claws unsheathed. Sheesh. And cats call Tigerclaw grumpy. "Um...Wasppaw, this was your idea, so you explain."

Wasppaw softly growled at Sandpaw for a moment. She then looked at Violet, who was now grooming her fur. Violet doesn't even care all that much, does she? "We came here because I was worried about one of your apprentices here in SkyClan."

Violet looked over at Blaze, who was struggling to break free of Holly's firm grip on her neck fur."Ah, I know who you're talking about. Blaze's fine. She just needs a quarter moon rest, that's all." She then glared at Wasppaw and Sandpaw. "But you came here, which was against the Warrior Code, and you risked my Clanmates lives by coming here. I will send a patrol to escort you home. Twyla, Tristan and Firegaze, please take them back to ThunderClan."

Wasppaw noticed a brown tabby tom padding towards them. "Yes, Violet." He growled. What's with him? Then a brownish gray tabby she-cat came up to them, alongside her was a dark ginger tabby she-cat.

"Let's go." The brown tabby tom grumbled. "You don't want to be missed."


Wasppaw's paws felt heavy as the scent of ThunderClan overpowered her nose. What if they don't want us back? We left our Clan on purpose. The dark ginger apprentice noticed Wasppaw's silent panic.

"Don't worry. They'll want you back." Firegaze assured her. "Especially your mother and father. They've probably been worried sick."

"Our father is dead." Sandpaw spat at her. I see Sandpaw's back to her aggressive self.

"O-Oh. Sorry…" The SkyClan apprentice sighed. Wasppaw shot her a glance full of sympathy. Sandpaw's been on the edge since Redtail died...not that I blame her.

They came to a stop. The brown tabby tom looked at them. "We'll let you both go on. If we wait here, ThunderClan will probably attack us."

"ThunderClan would never-" Sandpaw growled. She shut her jaws once she realised that all the SkyClan cats were staring at her. "Ahem. Nevermind. L-Lovely weather, am I right?"

The brownish gray tabby she-cat rolled her eyes. "Definitely. Anyways, we don't want to see you on our territory again unless if it's related to battle, leadership stuff, or medicine cat stuff. Otherwise, we'd better see you only at Gatherings." She dipped her head. "Farewell, ThunderClan apprentices. May StarClan light your path."

The SkyClan patrol left Sandpaw and Wasppaw alone. We got off easier than I expected...Sandpaw looked at her, with a mixture of relief and regret on her face. I know exactly how your feeling right now.


Wasppaw padded into ThunderClan's camp with unease pricking her belly. You went with this. You deal with this. Sandpaw wearily followed after her. It's already sunhigh...I can hardly believe it…

Suddenly she saw a tortoiseshell she-cat rushing towards them. Spottedleaf!

"Wasppaw and Sandpaw! You're okay!" Spottedleaf exclaimed. "Wasppaw and Sandpaw are back!" Quickly all of the cat in the camp came for them.

All of them asked questions like:

"Where were you?"

"Are you alright?"

"Thank StarClan you're back!"

Wasppaw saw a blue gray she-cat walking towards them. Bluestar! "Come with me, you two. Lionheart and Spottedleaf, you come as well." Wasppaw and Sandpaw followed Bluestar into the leader's den, even more nervous than before. Bluestar sat at the end of the den, with Lionheart and Spottedleaf by her side.

Bluestar looked stern, but her eyes were filled with relief. "You two have been missing since dawn. Where have you been?"

Wasppaw glanced at Sandpaw, who was giving her a dirty look. Fine, fine. I'll talk.

"W-We went to SkyClan to check on an apprentice there. She was badly injured in the battle and I was worried…" Wasppaw whispered. Please understand, Bluestar.

Lionheart narrowed his eyes. "We understand your concern, but you must've understood that you were breaking the code to do this?"

Wasppaw nodded. "Yes. Although I have broken the code, I don't regret what I did. I did what I thought was right."

"You speak truthfully, young Wasppaw. But you both must be punished for this-" Bluestar mewed.

"We don't need to be punished. We almost drowned in the river, and we were lucky that SkyClan came to our aid." Wasppaw looked down at her paws. My pelt still feels heavy.

Bluestar looked at both Lionheart and Spottedleaf. "What do you think?"

"They almost drowned!" Spottedleaf wailed. "They don't need any punishment now!"

Lionheart nodded. "I agree with Spottedleaf. Although a few days of shifting ticks might help." I honestly don't get why shifting ticks is so bad! The elders are really nice, and sometimes they might tell a story!

Sandpaw growled at him, but she said nothing more. She's just as grateful that we aren't getting kicked out of ThunderClan. Bluestar nodded.

"Then it is settled. A few days of helping the elders with their ticks." Bluestar meowed. "Spottedleaf, please fetch some mouse bile for them. They'll have a long day ahead of them…"


OC SUBMISSION RULES:

1. I only need personality, pelt color and their rank. (No leaders or deputies.) And add flaws, please. Keep it realistic.

2. Your OC will start out as a kit. Then they will reach acquired rank posted in review.

3. If you have your OC be the best friend/mate of one of the three MC or the originals in SkyClan, you'll have to change it because that's already been planned out.

4. I will accept OCs until I say that I'm finished. This will go on until AVoS and will have a prequel taking place in the middle of Mapleshade's Vengeance, so...it'll be awhile.

5. Once I finish taking OCs and yours wasn't chosen, there's still hope! Eventually I'll have another pure Warriors fanfic called "Wildfire" up, and I will accept OCs for that as well! What is "Wildfire", you ask? You'll just have to wait and see...
