I've finished chapter 16 of Flames of Fury! Today I threw in a new PoV, as I mentioned in the last chapter. So, reviews...

Whitespirit - 1) Well, I personally think that the relationship between Firepaw and Graypaw and Sandpaw and Dustpaw wasn't one-sided. Firepaw and Graypaw probably had some resentment towards them as well. And Wasppaw always sticks up for her sister, so obviously they didn't like her much either. 2) Yes, they both absolutely hate each other. Brokenstar tried to kill Violetstar (then Violet) and Violetstar took one of Brokenstar's lives. Brokenstar might want to think on stealing those kits, though. Violetstar is very protective of her Clanmates, ESPECIALLY if they're her kin. 3) Yeah, Beewhisker can be medicine cat instead of Cinderpelt. (Technically, Cinderpelt still could've become a warrior. I mean, if you look at the allegiances, Silverfire is a tripod cat. He only has three legs and he's a fighter/warrior.) And speaking of OCs, I think you might enjoy this chapter in particular...

Anyways, enjoy the story and leave a review!

"Mom, stop!" Quickkit yowled. His mother Twyla was grooming his pelt. "Why do you have to do this?"

"Yeah! We're not becoming apprentices today! Or are we?" Funnelkit meowed. Is she serious? We're only about one moon!

Forestkit rolled his eyes. "We're only one moon, bird-brain." I wouldn't've put it like that, but…

"Forestkit, stop it." Twyla scolded the young SkyClan kit. "I'm grooming your pelts because I think I should introduce you to your father." She then resumed grooming Quickkit's pelt, much to his dismay.

"Oooh! Who do you think our dad is, anyways, Forestkit?" Funnelkit squealed. "Maybe it's Stargaze or Stone?" Twyla stopped for a split second before continuing on. I don't think mom likes Stargaze or Stone that much…

"I don't get what's wrong with you, Funnelkit…" Forestkit muttered underneath his breath. "Stargaze clearly isn't interested in us, and Stone is too busy with patrolling to care that much about kits."

"Oh yeah! Stargaze already has a mate!" Funnelkit squeaked. No he doesn't...he just hangs out a lot with Dove.

Twyla now looked irritated by Funnelkit. "Funnelkit, why don't you go over to Holly or Firegaze to gossip? I don't think Forestkit is very interested in this discussion."

Funnelkit groaned. "But I don't like Holly, she's always asleep! And if she isn't, then she's really grumpy!" She flicked her tail tip towards Forestkit. "And that's exactly how he acts!"

"What? I do not act like that!" Forestkit grumbled. "I just get tired easily, and I don't get enough sleep because you're always waking me up!"

Quickkit snickered. "Yeah, like Holly."

"Alright, that's enough!" Twyla hissed. "Come on, let's just go to your father." I'm finally getting to meet my dad!

Quickkit followed his siblings and mother to a brown tabby tom who was sharing prey with a dark ginger tabby tom. I think that's Tristan and Stargaze! Is one of them our father?

"Hello Tristan and Stargaze." Twyla greeted them. Stargaze muttered a "hi" and then continued eating on the fish they were sharing. Tristan nodded to her. "Tristan, would you like to meet three kits who've been dying to meet you?"

Tristan widened his eyes. "W-Wait, do you mean…?"

Twyla nodded. "Yes, Tristan. Their your kits." Wait, he's our father? "Forestkit seems to take after you quite a bit."

"Hey, he does look like me!" Tristan exclaimed. He pulled Forestkit closer to him and licked his forehead. Quickkit tilted his head. Do I look like him? Tristan gestured for Funnelkit and Quickkit to come over as well. "All three of you will grow up to be amazing warriors."

"Well congratulations, Tristan!" Stargaze nodded at his Clanmate with a smile. "I never thought it'd be you who was the father!"

"Yes, I didn't either." Twyla confessed, giving her chest fur a few licks. "It became more obvious once they opened their eyes. They were really excited to see you."

"Either way, I'm proud to be a father to them." Tristan purred. He looked up to Twyla, who had affection brimming in her eyes. "I'm so happy they're ours."

"Twyla, get your kits in the nursery! There's a dog coming towards the camp entrance!" Ivy yowled urgently. Twyla quickly nudged her kits towards the nursery.

"Come on, let's go!" She hissed. Forestkit and Funnelkit scrambled for the nursery. "Quickkit, come here!" Twyla growled. Quickkit nodded and ran towards his mother.

Quickkit cast one last glance at Tristan, who was at the camp entrance, fighting off the dog. Why can't I help my father? What if he dies because I didn't do anything? Twyla's attention wasn't on him for a split second. Quickkit rushed towards the dog attacking his father. I won't let you hurt him! The dog seemed to notice Quickkit, it's dark eyes burning into his fur.

"Quickkit, get away from here!" Tristan snarled. But what if you die? Will it matter in the end? Quickkit ignored Tristan and lunged for the dog with his claws unsheathed. The dog battered him, it's sharp claws digging into his skin. Quickkit felt the dog's teeth sink into his flesh. Ow! "Leave my son alone!" Tristan hissed.

Suddenly a flash of brown tabby fur pounced on the dog, knocking it backwards. Quickkit felt someone's teeth yank on his scruff. No! Don't let it be another dog! Quickkit was now being dragged away from the battle, towards one of the dens. Wait a minute, that's not the nursery! Quickkit noticed that he had stopped, along with the creature holding onto him. He looked up to see Holly, who was sternly glaring at him.

"You're very lucky that I came in to help." Holly growled. "But now is not the time for that. Violetstar will surely scold you later." Quickkit tried to stay awake, but his vision felt blurry. No! I need to stay up! "Don't even try to stay up. You need to rest."

Quickkit fought the pull drowsiness had on him, but he couldn't fight it for long. Soon he closed his eyes, unable to resist the feeling of sleep. Quickkit opened his eyes to find himself in a strange clearing. It was a grassy space, meaning the grass would relieve his tired and weary paws.

"W-Where…?" He whispered. Quickkit then saw a dark ginger tabby she-cat with green eyes. Who's that? "Who are you?" Quickkit growled.

The tabby took a step back. "O-Oh. I didn't mean to startle you. I'm Maple, mother of your father, Tristan." She's...my kin? "And no, you're not dead. I just wanted to visit one of my grandkits today."

Quickkit shrunk back. "But you're dead! Aren't dead cats supposed be...you know, dead and not talking to the living?"

"Well, StarClan is very different from what you think. We can indeed talk with living cats when we want to or need to." Maple explained gently. "I noticed that a dog has attack SkyClan's camp during the Gathering. Is this correct?"

Quickkit gulped. "Y-Yeah, that dog was scary!" He whimpered. "It tried to kill me!"

Maple licked his forehead. "Hush, little one. It'll be alright." She whispered. "I must go now, but know that I'll always be with you."

"Quickkit! QUICKKIT!" Quickkit opened his eyes to find Twyla, her eyes overflowing with fear. Twyla thrust her muzzle into Quickkit's fur. "Oh, thank the stars you're alright!"

"Twyla, I understand that you're worried, but please, for the love of StarClan, do not interrupt me while I'm working on one of my patients." Holly's voice grumbled. Twyla muttered something under her breath, and then walked out of the den. "How are you feeling, Quickkit?"

"I- I still hurt…" Quickkit moaned.

Holly licked her forepaw. "Well, it should hurt less after I treated your wounds. However, you'll still have those scars for the rest of your life."

"L-Like a w-warrior…?" Quickkit whispered hoarsely.

"Yes, if you want to put it like that." Holly murmured. She pulled out a leafy plant from her herb stocks. "Would you like some thyme to help with the shock?"

Quickkit weakly nodded. He took the medicine and felt calmer now. His breathing now slowed a little, since he wasn't breathing as heavily anymore. What about my littermates? Are they okay?

Holly stretched her muscles. "Well, after that I'm going to need to take another nap. Feel free to nap as well, Quickkit. 'Cause as soon as Jayson or Violet comes in, you won't be getting any sleep for a while. And luckily for you, they're not back yet."

But I'm not sleepy now. I need to go check on my family! But Quickkit didn't even bother saying those words out loud. Holly was already curled up in her nest, snoring loudly. Ugh, why does she also have to snore?!

"Tonight's been a long night…" Quickkit muttered underneath his breath. And if that all happened today, then what'll happen tomorrow?

Also, Marrowfrost wanted to do this as well to get more thoughts on Flames of Fury. (It's okay to leave a review on my story! I promise I won't bite!) So, here's a little question of the day:

QotD: Who is your favorite character so far, and why?

Marrowfrost will answer her own question as well, just to be fair: Dove, to be completely honest. I really want to have her be more in the story, so I might add a Dove PoV for a chapter, just letting ya'll know... (Silverfire's my second fave. I like side-characters better.)
