Ya, I know, you missed me. X3 I decided to go in a different direction, so this is a new chapter 2.

Disclaimer: I own nothing!

Enjoy. ;D oh! AND note: Tigerclaw DOES want power, but he DIDN'T kill Redtail. Get that straight.

"The noise of you treacherous bell will alert our enemies, even if your twoleg stench doesn't!" came Longtail's distinctive yowl.

Tigerclaw tilted his head in confususion and entered the Thunderclan camp entrance. He found Lionheart whispering something into an orange tom cats ear. Blinking again in confusion he padded up to Ravenpaw and asked what was going on.

"Well, Bluestar and Lionheart just entered the camp and plainly stated this cat, who is a kittypet, will be joining the clan." Ravenpaw replied.

Tigerclaw glared at Bluestar. Did she think a kittypet could actually be a warrior? It was ridiculo-

The orange cat flattened his ears and let out a mroooow before pouncing on an unexpected Longtail.

Tigerclaw lightened up on his glare until it was completely gone. The kittypet was practically getting choked by that twoleg collar. For some odd reason Tigerclaw felt the sudden erge to jump forward and attack Longtail to save the kittypet. He apparently took a step forward because Ravenpaw nd Darkstripe, who had just come over, were giving him confused looks. He glared at both of them before sitting firmly on the ground. Willing himself not to follow his thoughts, he dug his claws in to the soft ground.

The kittypet and Longtail continued meowing and scratching like they were from different clans in battle. There was a sudden snap and they jumped away from eachother. The kittypet's collar was in Longtail's mouth.

Both were breathing hard as Bluestar jumped down from Highrock and started talking about something Tigerclaw didn't hear. He was to busy studying the kittypet.

His once clean, shiny orange pelt was covered in dirt and in clumps. Some dried blood clung to it as well as some newly drawed blood was dripping down from his side.

"...will be called Firepaw, in honor of his flame-colored coat." Bluestar stopped talking and watched Firestar intently.

Tigerclaw looked around and noticed alot of cats were watching the kittypet, now apprentice intently. He stopped looking around and glanced back at Firepaw. He finally noted that Firepaw's old collar was sitting in front of him. Firepaw glared at it like it was a badger and turned around then kicked his back foot. Dust and grass flew and landed on the kittypet's collar like he was burying it.

Longtail growled and limped away to who-knows-where as his clanmates split into groups and muttered excitedley to eachother.

Graypaw ran up to Firepaw and talked to him, happily explaining to him anout the cats around him. Others soon joined them and introduced themselves. He looked around for his friend, Darkstripe, and finally noticed him talking to Ravenpaw harshly. Ravenpaw had a look of horror across his face so he trotted over and asked what was going on.

Darkstripe spun around and greeted Tigerclaw iwth a false smile. "Nothing Tigerclaw. Just telling Ravenpaw he should be more social and go and introduce himself to the new apprentice. That is all." He lowered his head and snarled at Ravenpaw before heading over to the fresh kill pile.

Tigerclaw frowned in confusion before motioning with his tail to Ravenpaw to follow him. "Come. Darkstripe is right. Lets go introduce you to Firepaw."

Ravenpaw nodded his head and ran over to the now alone Firepaw and Graypaw.

"Ravenpaw! Slow dow-" It was to late. Ravenpaw had already collided with the other two apprentices.

Tigerclaw sighed angrily and walked over to the pile of tangled up apprentices. Grabbing Firepaw's neck scruff he pulled him out as the other two dropped the rest of the way to the ground, as Firepaw was beneath them.

Tigerclaw let Firepaw go and glared at Ravenpaw. "I said slow down! You need to listen once in a while! You ran like a pack of dogs was behind you! I said be social! Not be a mouse-brain!"

Ravenpaw lowered his head and flattened his ears and muttered out an apology. "S-Sorry Tigerclaw."

He looked out of the corner of his eye as he continued to chastise Ravenpaw and noticed Graypaw glaring at him as he whispered harshly into Firepaw's ear.

He dismissed Ravenpaw and turned to face the sill glaring Graypaw and the neutral faced Firepaw.

"You didn't have to be so mean!" Graypaw hissed out.

Tigerclaw was about to make a rude retort when he noticed Firepaw watching him confusedly. What was the kittypet staring at?

He shut his mouth that was left open from his almost retort and stared back at the apprentice. Where had he seen those emerald green eyes before?

'Rusty tripped over his paws a few times as he ran over to Tigerpaw. He looked up at the tom before rubbing up against him affectionately.'

Tigerclaw blinked back the memory of the young kit he had helped all those moons ago. He truly had fogotten about the kit. Though now that he remembered and wanted to smile. The kit had been very... affectionate. Cute too. Wait... cute? Tigerclaw felt a cold chill run up his spine. He didn't think anything was cute.

He stood from his sitting position and let his gaze go back to Graypaw. "Go bother Lionheart mouse-brain. Take this kittypet with you." He turned from the two grumbling apprentices and headed toward the warrior's den. He climbed halfway into the entrance before looking back. A pair of familiar green eyes met hostile amber eyes. Tigerclaw turned as a shiver went throught his body. He shook it off and went toward the back of the den before laying in a tight ball and falling into a dreamless sleep.

Starclan was shining brightly that night. Ancestors that rarely were seen were celebrating with the others. The prophecy that was long ago fortold was newly opened. Let the fire burn bright in the fading dark.

Okay. I think this was WAAAAAY better then the last second chapter. Tell me what you think!

Oh! What Longtail and Bluestar came from the actual book so those lines don't belong to me. XD
