*I'm not good at battle scenes….. And at one point- I had WAY too much sugar, I hope that you don't notice*

I swiftly jumped to the side, Lionblaze's claws barely scratching the side of my neck. But my paw slipped and I found myself sprawled on the ground, an easy target. I snarled as he came closer, not wanting to betray my fear. He reared up on his back paws and slashed downwards. I rolled out of the way, his claws meeting only the soft grass of the camp. Springing back to my paws, I leapt at him. He ducked and got behind me. Before I could react, he had grabbed my scruff and began to shake his head quickly back and forth.

I squeezed my eyes shut, the sight of quickly moving forest was starting make me feel sick to my stomach. At once, fear melted away, if only for a moment, and I felt as if I was swimming in a swift moving current. I felt the roar of water crashing over jagged rocks echo in my ears. I slowly open my eyes, the forest seemingly melting into a river. I imagined that I was fighting the current and there was no enemy besides the swift river threating to drag me under. I flailed the paws in a feeble attempt to try to save myself. My head dipped below the water. My head popped out of the water for a second. I felt myself choke on the water. Tears rolled down my cheek as I felt that this surely was my doom as I was pulled under the water once again.

A thin stream of bubbles rolled towards the surface as I sank down. I could feel my eyes closing slowly, a sign of my demise. My eyes closed fully as my tail brushed the bottom of the riverbed. The roar the river made was replaced by silence. Then I heard a faint splash. I struggled to open my eyes but I still saw what I needed. A shadow dipped under the water and grabbed my scruff gently. The shadow pulled me up with a bit of trouble until we reached the surface. I coughed and sputtered, spitting out the river water. I groaned and tilted my head to look at my savior. His fur was dark and wet from the water but I could make out stripes on his back and dark brown fur. His blue eyes locked onto mine, and he smiled

"Shush, I've got you. No need to worry…"

I felt like I was growing sleepy and I closed my eyes only to reopen them a moment later. I heard Lionblaze scream out in pain and then he threw me. I hit a tree hard and slipped down, falling into a crumbled heap. I started coughing, a few bright red specks on the ground- blood. I barely could lift my head to see the spectacle happening before me. Lionblaze wasn't facing me, instead facing a seriously ticked off warrior. Obviously this new warrior had been the one to attack Lionblaze and to save me because I could see the streak of blood running down Lionblaze's side. He had deep bite marks to the throat too. The other warrior bared his teeth; they were flecked by crimson blood.

He ran to Lionblaze's left though he didn't seem to notice. The warrior snarled and swiped his sharp claws along Lionblaze's side, causing the golden tabby to yowl in pain. The brown tabby jumped back as Lionblaze took a miscalculated swipe at him. Even if he had stayed perfectly still, it wouldn't have hit him. In a giant leap, the brown warrior cleared Lionblaze and landed to the right of him. Quickly he growled out

"Leave her alone or next time it won't be pretty."

Lionblaze hissed "Who are you and WHERE are you?"

The brown tabby closed his bright blue eyes and smirked. "You can't fight what you can't see….."

Lionblaze swiped towards the brown warrior and growled "Why don't you come out and show yourself!"

I retrained a gasp. I thought 'You mean that you can't see him?'

Mist formed around the brown tabby and his colors seemed to brighten. He reopened his eyes and they seemed so much lighter- turns out they were a bright ice blue. He smirked, reveling sharp canines covered with blood. Lionblaze froze in place, a look of fear written all across his face. He stammered out

"H- Hawkfrost!"

I got to my paws with some effort and stood next to him. I growled out "He doesn't want you to ever hurt me again or else you're going to die!"

Lionblaze bowed his head "I- I understand. I'm sorry…"

Hawkfrost narrowed his eyes till they were just slits. He seemed to be studying Lionblaze for any signs of hostility. After careful examination, he sat down. He was licking his paw when I asked

"Why did you save me? I thought you hated me!"

"When did I say that?" He questioned, tilting his head

"Never- I guess….."

He purred while he leaned over to give the top of my head a lick. I smiled and mewed happily. Dovewing cried out

"Hawkpaw watch out! He's a dark forest cat!"

"Now that's just rude." Hawkfrost replied with half closed eyes, giving Dovewing a withering look.

"He's saved my life before- he can't be that bad really. Plus the fact that he went against his own father in the process….." Jayfeather muttered

"See? I'm not really a bad cat, I just was misguided." Hawkfrost stated

"Hm…. I still don't trust him." Dovewing mumbled under her breath

"Well I don't like you." Hawkfrost declared plainly, going back to licking his paw

"What?"

"Nothing…."

"I'm pretty sure that it wasn't nothing."

"IT WAS NOTHING!" Hawkfrost shouted, anger burning in his eyes making Dovewing cringe. She whispered to Jayfeather

"He scares me…."

"And you think I care if you're afraid of my apprentice or not?"

"He's not-"

"Okay before retardation sets in, let me explain. I AM HAWKPAW! Got that so far?" Hawkfrost shouted, pausing for only a second before continuing "I have two forms, one form where I'm with her and can talk to her through thoughts and control some of her actions. Occasionally I can take total control…. The second form is this. I can walk around and kinda hunt and attack. Sorry about that Lionblaze but- seriously- killing your cousin is not cool! Unless I want them to- no one can see me in this form aside from Hawkpaw."

Dovewing blinked "I think I get it…."

"Well that doesn't include Jayfeather who snuck into Hawkpaw's dream and saw her get too cuddly with me. Yeah….. Don't even try to defend yourself- I heard you sneak up before I could see you. You are not silent at all- actually if you wanted to be sneaky you should've asked Silentstar* to teach you to sneak! Not even Dovewing could hear Silentstar sneak up on her. That's why she's called Silentstar!"

Lionblaze tilted his head "You mean that chick who came here less than a moon ago?"

"Of course I mean her! She's the one who totally kicked your tail into next week!"

"She had her friend with her! Treeclaw, I believe."

"They're only 13 moons old each! I couldn't imagine them to be that tough!" Hawkfrost hissed

"Well…."

"Don't even bother defending yourself!"

"Is it me or are those two having the stupidest argument in the history of the clans?" I asked Jayfeather

"Yeah….. I really think that those two should shut up now." Jayfeather replied, blocking out the sounds of Lionblaze's and Hawkfrost's argument

"Oh really insulting my name now!" Hawkfrost growled "What about you? Did someone set you on fire so that you could be called LionBLAZE?"

"If anyone was set on fire- it would be FIREstar!"

"Hey what's going on over here?" Brambleclaw asked while walking over to us. He tilted his head and saw his half-brother and exclaimed "HOLY STARCLAN!"

"AHH! It's Brambleclaw! Don't kill me again- please!"

"HUH? Why in the Dark Forest are you here?"

"I kinda live here now- in a way."

"I need to check this with Firestar!" Brambleclaw shouted

"No- wait. I don't mean it like that! Ur- I'm not a bad cat anymore." Hawkfrost whined

Brambleclaw tilted his head to the side "Kindly explain."

I coughed once to get their attention "Well dad, he's me. He no longer resides in the dark forest but rather- lives in the 'Middle'. The 'Middle' is the place between Starclan and the Dark Forest. The cats that reside there are generally good cats- thinking what they did was right but ended up doing some bad deeds. They're also cats with reincarnations. Due to Tigerstar's interference with the reincarnation process- Hawkfrost was sent back instead of Hollyleaf."

"I guess I should've seen it sooner….." Brambleclaw muttered, looking down at his paws

"Yeah you probably should've. I mean we look EXACTLY alike! Minus the fact that I'm a guy and she's a she-cat….." Hawkfrost laughed

I watched as my dad and Hawkfrost (what is he exactly? Is he my uncle or is he like a brother or what?) start talking and laughing like good friends. Seems like they were just happy to be on the same page for once. Lionblaze glanced back at me

"Well it seems like I got my answer."

"What was the question anyways?" I asked

"If you really were in love with Hawkfrost or something…"

"WHAT THE- THAT'S JUST WRONG!" Hawkfrost exclaimed, breaking the conversation with Brambleclaw for a moment

"Kidding!" He purred "The real question was if you had some special connection to him. And you do- you are him. Actually that sounds a bit strange when I say that aloud."

"Yeah…." I replied "Anyways- hard feelings gone?"

"Yup."

"So- nobody is to know about him. Okay?" I mewed

"Secrets safe with me."

"Right." Lionblaze nodded

"Whatever." Jayfeather responded. I took it as a yes

Brambleclaw nodded "If Firestar found out he would probably have a heart attack… So I'm not telling anybody!"

I smirked "Good."

*- Silentstar is my fursona (So she's exactly how I imagine myself as a warrior cat). She's brown with golden stripes running down her back. She has a golden tipped tail and golden paws. She has golden lightning bolt like patterns that run down from the bottom of her eyes. She's my age if you transfer it into moons- I'm 13 so she's 13 moons old. Her eyes are green from a distance but when you get closer- that's not the case. My eyes (and therefore Silentstar's eyes) are yellow-green with a blue-gray rim surrounding it. The green part of my eyes have specks of brown and amber in them.

Silentstar moves with such silence that no one can hear her- even when she runs. She can easily navigate the dense underbrush of Thunderclan territory. She can sink into the shadows and she is a fast runner. She's deathly afraid of water though- she's nearly drowned several times. She's the leader of Treeclan where her deputy is her best friend- Treeclaw. Her father is the medicine cat (I understand the girl ones not having kits but the toms? REALLY?). He's orangey-red with a white underbelly and three small white streaks under his eyes. His eyes are green and his name is Fireflight.

Before my rant continues- I shall end. Reviews make me happy you know ^_^
