To Daystar () - I would be a girl. I hope that satisfies your curiousity. And for you review to Ten Years ago- Mimi IS Colorstar.

"Hey! Hawkpaw? Are you even paying attention?" Wolfpaw asked me in a hurt tone

"Huh? What? No- sorry Wolfpaw. "

He sighed "I was saying how you were lucky that you get to go to the gathering tonight and I can't!"

"Why can't you come?" I wondered out loud

"I'm not sure. I think that it might have to do with giving other apprentices a chance to go. However- because you're the medicine cat apprentice you get to go to every gathering! You're so lucky."

"Aww…." I mewed, licking Wolfpaw's cheek "I'll tell you about everything I see, okay?"

He purred "Sounds good to me."

I could hear Hawkfrost's groan of annoyance so I mentally thought to him 'What's your problem?'

"I thought you weren't supposed to have a mate."

"What? He's not my mate! He's just a really close guy friend." I defended

"Also known as- a boyfriend."

"Shut up."

"I'm not talking- I'm technically thinking." He retorted

I rolled my eyes and sighed softly- this was one thing we never could agree on. I wanted to still be friends with Wolfpaw but Hawkfrost didn't want me to be so close to him. Could I see perhaps a bit of jealousy? No…. Hawkfrost's not like that. The only reason he might want me to stay away from Wolfpaw so that my heart won't be broken. I still liked Wolfpaw and he still liked me but I wasn't blind. I could see that another she-cat was beginning to get interested in him. Her name would be Cloverpaw. She was a cream colored she cat with jade green eyes.

She used to be one of my friends but lately I felt rather distant from her. She seemed to be hitting on Wolfpaw though he just read it as kindness. I wouldn't be sure about what I would do if they became mates. But then again voices in the back of my head suggest something terrible. I'm not sure if I would go through with it though- I'm not really that evil. But then again, love can do crazy things do one's head. I mean, just look at Ashfur- he went insane because all he ever wanted from Squirrelflight was her love.

"Oh it's alright Wolfpaw! We'll be here- together." Cloverpaw openly mocked me, her eyes narrowing. She had laced the word 'together' with poison. Wolfpaw smiled kindly, oblivious to Cloverpaw's scornful tone

"Oh that's cool. Well, I guess that you should get ready to go to the gathering."

Wolfpaw walked away and Cloverpaw glared at me. She hissed softly "You better not try anything funny or I'll claw your eyes out."

I smirked "If dad finds out, you'll be exiled so fast-"

"Oh aren't you daddy's little girl?" Cloverpaw spat with disgust "Always needing your dad to bail you out! You're just as pathetic as a newborn kit."

I glared at her, wanting to claw off her ears for that comment. I felt my claws unsheathe and sheath, a sign of my frustration. I growled fiercely "Get out of my sight, NOW."

Cloverpaw hissed "I was just about to- why should I waste my breath on you? Wolfpaw would never fall for someone so- oh how should I put it? Weak." She turned around and slipped into the apprentice's den.

Jayfeather rested the tip of his tail on my shoulder "It would be wise not to sink down to her level."

I stared at the ground "I guess that you're right….."

My dad walked past, his amber gaze resting on me. "We'll be leaving soon; this is your only warning."

I nodded and then looked up at Jayfeather. Softly as not to be heard, I asked "What's you're opinion on Cloverpaw?"

"Ugh! I hate her!" Jayfeather growled "She complained when I didn't treat her battle wounds first and then complained that I used too much marigold! What does she know about healing?"

"She was much nicer as a kit." I agreed "Now she's just rude and mean."

"Why did you ask?"

"I feel like she's trying wedge Wolfpaw and me apart….."

"Ah yes- Wolfpaw. The apprentice that you're in love with."

I felt my cheeks blush and then I yelled in embarrassment "JAYFEATHER!"

"What? I was just stating a fact."

I sniffed "No one was supposed to hear that out loud….."

"Well that's not my problem, now is it?"

"No….."

"That's what I thought." Jayfeather smiled, walking away

I stretched and headed to the fresh kill pile. I picked out a small mouse and began to eat. After I was finished, I let out a yawn and rested my head on my paws. I quickly fell asleep due to how little I've been able to sleep lately. I'm not sure how long I was out before I felt someone poking me with their paw. I groaned and asked

"Yes?"

"Hey! If you don't mind- we're leaving!" a sarcastic voice exclaimed

I sprang to my paws and shouted "Sorry Jay's wing!"

"….. How did you know about my past name?" Jayfeather questioned

"I- I'm not sure, it just came to me."

Jayfeather rolled his sightless blue eyes and started leading me to the island where the gathering was held. When we came to the huge log I shouted

"There's no way I can jump onto that!"

"Suit yourself." Jayfeather stated, quickly getting on the log and walking across it. I watched him for a moment until I muttered

"Guess that there's no harm in trying." I didn't pay attention to the easy path that everyone else took, in fact- I took the hard way. I leapt up high and strong, only to barely get over the top of the log. I stood there shocked for a moment and started walking across. I lost my balance and nearly slipped off but I unsheathed my claws just in time. I hung there for a moment, my hind legs dangling over the water and my front paws clinging to the bark.

I sighed in relief and hauled myself up. More carefully this time, I started walking along until I came to the end of it. I jumped down and headed towards where Jayfeather had seated himself. As it turns out- we were the third clan to arrive. Riverclan and Shadowclan were already there. Only Windclan and Skyclan had yet to come. That's when I heard an argument a few moments later

"I told you so many times that my warrior name is NOT Badgerstrike!"

"Well it fits you."

"My name is Typhoon!"

"No your name is Typhoonmoon, there's a difference."

"My warrior name is stupid! I swear that Onestar only gave me that name to torture me!"

"He did not!"

"Oh sure- defend him because he made you deputy."

"You're just jealous that I was his favorite!"

"I don't care!"

"You don't care about anything."

"That's not true!"

"Oh sure it's not."

"Darkstar- you are really getting on my nerves tonight."

I turned my head to see where the argument was coming from. It turns out it was from two Windclan cats who had just arrived. The two that were arguing were near the front of the line. One was a dark brown tom with yellow green eyes. The other one had bright amber eyes, black fur, white paws, a white underbelly and a white tipped tail. There was a dash on his side that was also white. His face was mostly white with black ears and a black line that looked like a black mask that went to his nose to his ears with a small triangle of white that came from the top of his head to his nose, separating the two black lines. His left eye was covered by a tuff of white fur.

"Don't I always?" The dark brown one, Darkstar, replied

The other one which I assume was Typhoon (Or whatever his real name was) growled "This conversation is stupid!"

"You're stupid." Darkstar muttered as he leapt onto the tree branch where the leaders sat

"Says the cat who appointed me deputy! If you think that I'm so stupid- why am I deputy?" Typhoon hissed up at him while taking a seat on the rock underneath the tree, facing his leader and not the crowd.

"Urm…."

"That's right! It's because you have no friends!"

I suppressed a snicker but Jayfeather looked at me and shook his head disapprovingly. He whispered "This is not something to be taken lightly."

Darkstar shouted "That's not true!"

"Is so! You got Summerwind and Nightwhisper killed in that one Skyclan attack!" Typhoon shouted, turning his head to the side real quick. His amber gaze seemed to rest on me for a moment as if he expected me to say something but he turned back to his friend

"It's not my fault….. You suggested surprising my brother."

"I meant surprising him by being nice to him for once!"

"How was I supposed to know? You aren't easiest cat to figure out!"

"I'm not violent!"

"You've tried killing me before!"

"You messed with my fur!"

"All I did was accidently pull out a tuff of fur, that's all!"

"And reopened one of my older wounds you idiot! I swear- don't make me come up there!"

"See? You're very violent!"

"It's not my fault!"

Darkstar rolled his eyes "I've tried my hardest to teach you the rules on how to be a warrior but still you refuse to listen!"

"It's because you're boring."

"Typhoon! I will come down there and fight you if I have to!"

"I'd like to see you try!"

Just as Darkstar was about to leap down to the rock where his deputy was, taunting him, Owlstar growled

"This is a gathering Darkstar, save personal arguments for later."

Darkstar glared at his friend who was looking up at him defiantly. I could hear Darkstar sigh as he jumped down "Fine, fine whatever-" He looked side to side before shouting "AND WHEN WILL KRESTRELFLIGHT AND DIAMONDPAW GET HERE!"

As if on cue, two cats walked over as if nothing happened. One was a white she cat with a fluffy tail and bright sky blue eyes. The other one was Kestrelflight. They walked over to Darkstar who demanded

"Why are you two so late?"

The white she-cat hid behind Kestrelflight who responded with "We got a little sidetracked, is that okay with you?"

Darkstar seemed to relax with those words. He stated "Good thing Skyclan didn't arrive yet, you two can go ahead and talk to the others for now." I don't know if it's just me but I thought I heard a slight sound of distaste in the word 'Skyclan'? Or am I imagining things? I saw the white she-cat start to walk over and then a voice popped in my head

'This is Diamondpaw.'

I knew that I had to do something to be able to talk to her so I did the one thing that would probably get me killed. I took a deep breath in and asked

"Jayfeather are you getting all emo on me again?"

He grumbled "Hawkpaw, how many times do I have to tell you, I'm not emo."

"Well you act like you are." I protested

"Hawkpaw…." Jayfeather warned

"I mean you complain about everything and you are grumpy about everything."

"Seriously can you stop that?" Jayfeather asked

"Ask ANYONE here and they'd agree with me!"

"Hawkpaw, I'm seriously going to murder you if you don't stop."

"I'm just saying!" I complained

"I'm not kidding!" Jayfeather growled through gritted teeth

My ears flattened in a threating manner "I'd like to see you try!"

Krestalflight nervously muttered "Oh no."

Diamondpaw looked over to Kestrelflight and asked "What?"

"This is what I warned you about."

"You mean Hawkpaw's split personality?"

"Yeah…." Krestalflight nodded

As if by instinct, I lunged at my mentor who jumped nimbly to the side. However, before our battle could go on, all the other medicine cats got into position and started holding Jayfeather back. I let out a hiss and prepared to lunge again, only to feel teeth sink gently into my scruff and to be picked off the ground. I growled

"I was winning!"

"In your dreams-" Jayfeather snapped "and only there."

I turned my head to see who picked me up. It was my dad. He carried me to the other side of the island and set me down. He shook his head disapprovingly

"Hawkpaw… Listen, until Jayfeather calms down- you'll have to stay over here. I realize that you have the heart and soul of a warrior but you just aren't one. You're a medicine cat. Can I trust you to stay out of trouble?"

I bowed my head "Yes dad…."

"Good girl." My dad purred as he walked back to the main gathering

I sighed and curled my tail around me. I lifted my head to look to the stars, softly I whispered

"Was that necessary to meet Diamondpaw?"

"Shush- just wait….." Hawkfrost purred in my ear as he materialized into the form where he could walk around. He stood a tail length away from me and continued "Here she comes now."

"Um, hi. My name's Diamondpaw- I'm from Windclan."

I smiled kindly "I'm Jayfeather's apprentice- Hawkpaw, named for…" I suddenly cut off, not wanting to reveal anything personal about myself just yet

"Huh? Is something wrong?" She asked

"N- no." I struggled to say "I'm named after my dad's brother."

"Oh, who's your dad?" Diamondpaw questioned friendly

"My dad is Brambleclaw and my mother is Squirrelflight."

"You're lucky….. Both of my parents died when I was a kit."

"Aw….."

"Yeah, Nightwhisper and Summerwind. It's been hard for me and my siblings to cope after losing both them at the same time. Went with a battle patrol to fight Skyclan and never came back….."

Then it finally clicked in my head- Typhoon had stated something about that while taking a quick glance at me as if he knew that I had heard about Diamondpaw's destiny. No- why would I think that? Maybe he had nothing to do with it. Perhaps the true darkness wasn't Darkstar and maybe it was him. Or maybe I was over thinking this. I found myself staring at the Windclan deputy in interest. That's when I heard Diamondpaw chuckle

"Don't tell me that you have a crush on our deputy!"

"Huh? He's cute but-"

"See you just admitted to it!"

"He probably already has a mate and I would not break the warrior code!" I shouted at her

She giggled "Actually he refuses to take a mate. Most of the cats in Windclan are afraid of him anyways."

"Why?"

"Tell you truth- I'm not completely sure myself. Maybe because he's not exactly Windclan."

"What do you mean by that?" I questioned

"From what I heard from Darkstar- he's only part Windclan. He's also Riverclan and Shadowclan so he's rather dangerous."

"Triple threat….." I muttered to myself "Does he have anything against Darkstar?"

"That's a strange question! Of course not, those two are best friends."

"They were arguing before…"

"That's completely normal. In fact, one of their worst fights ended with them becoming better friends. You see- that fight almost ended with Typhoon leaving Windclan. From what the warriors said- he was gone for several hours. He came back only to see that his friend became a warrior almost a moon earlier than he did. In fact, the only thing that made him finally become a warrior a moon after Darkstar- was saving the clan."

"He- saved the clan?"

"Twice actually. You see, Ty saved us from these evil rouges and earned his warrior name- Typhoonmoon. The moon in his name is to show how he can sneak into shadows and reappear behind you without you finding out. He just goes by Typhoon or his nickname- Ty."

"And the second time?" I inquired

"We had this terrible outbreak of Greencough and three cases of Blackcough. There were barely any cats healthy enough to hunt and patrol our borders. As I heard- Ty had often been skipping out on eating and went on at least two border patrols and at least one hunting patrol. In fact, he was getting himself sick but never let that get in the way. Even after Kestrelflight told him to rest- he didn't. He was as stubborn as a badger- and still is. He took Featherstar-who was Featherwing back then- and went to seek out the catnip that we needed. He lost his mentor and always blamed himself for it saying that if he was quicker, he could've saved Crowfeather. My grandfather and Ty's mentor. Both events happened before I was even born."

"So is he a bad cat?" I pressed

"Great Starclan no! But- if you really want to know more- I suggest asking him yourself."

From where I was sitting I could hear Typhoon look up at Darkstar and exclaim "If Skyclan isn't here by time I get back- I'm just going to go home!"

Diamondpaw nudged me as I watched the black and white tom walk off "Now's your chance."

I nodded my head "Alright."

I silently ran after the tom, careful to keep in the shadows until I could get closer. He walked to the edge of the island where the water lapped at the shore. I watched as Typhoon sat down, just out of reach of the waves. The moonlight reflected off the water, giving it a silverish glow. I breathlessly watched him, trying to figure out why he was there.

Then he lifted his head to the sky and softly stated "Servatis a periculum. Servatis a maleficum."

I narrowed my eyes in concentration; I had never heard anything that sounded like that so I had no way to translate. Then I heard him whisper

"How long have you been watching?"

I gulped and walked out of the shadows. I stammered out "How did you know that I was watching?"

"Listen, I was once a rouge. One constantly having to train his senses to protect himself from the others. It's one of the reasons I survived this long."

"Um when you said something about a Skyclan battle and then turned to me- what was that about?"

"I may be oblivious but I'm not stupid. I know all those connected to Diamondpaw's prophecy. You're Hawkpaw if I'm correct."

I nodded "Yes."

He softly repeated the foreign sentence "You play a part determining the fate of this story. In your paws you hold a choice, your actions can lead to the sixth's death or you can save her. I contain a similar choice. My choice is a bit harder though. I have to choose whether to save Darkstar or my own life."

"What is it that you're saying?" I asked "Um that strange sentence! Plus how could you choose?"

"Servatis a periculum. Servatis a maleficum." He closed his eyes while repeating the words "Save us from danger. Save us from evil. And- How could it be any easier?"

"You know what you would do?"

"Giving up one's life to save another is the greatest sacrifice one can make." Typhoon smiled "I want to erase all my past wrongs and leave all this pain and suffering behind. I believe my destiny is to give up my own life to save Darkstar's."

"Even after your fights?"

"Darkstar saved my life once before. He's called me from a coma too. I owe him still. I might of saved him once but I have to do it again. He defended me from the evil rouges and showed kindness to me even when everyone else hated me." He got to his paws "And that, dear Hawkpaw, is the greatest gift of all- friendship."

I followed him as he nimbly weaved his way through the trees to go back to the gathering. Half way there I asked

"Why were you saying 'Servatis a periculum. Servatis a maleficum'?"

"I'm praying that Starclan would save us from danger and save us from the evil that burns in the hearts of some of the darkest warriors….."

"Who would some of them be?"

Ty looked over his shoulder and flashed me a quick smile "Me of course."

I was at a loss for words so I stammered out "Wha-?"

He chuckled "What made you think that I was innocent? I've killed four cats twice my size before I even came to Windclan. And I came to Windclan at seven moons old."

I skidded to a stop "You just seem so….. Nice!"

He turned to face me; the one amber eye I could see held a mysterious glow to it. He growled "Trust. No one."

I whimpered out in fear "Why?"

"I thought I could trust the three evils, they killed my parents, forced me to kill my friend Chaos and tried killing me. I barely escaped with my life but I was left with scars that'll never heal."

I pieced it together "Is that why you hide the left side of your face?"

He nodded and pushed the fur out of the way with one paw. The left side of his face had many long pick scars running down it. His other eye was partly clouded over. I asked

"Are you blind in that eye?"

"Almost. I can barely see through it anymore." He started walking away but not before demanding once again "Trust, no one. Not even yourself."
