Heh. Let me explain. I'm having a little bit of blockage in my writing for dare to be dared. It's not that I can't do it, it's because I'm having trouble working on it. I'm addicted to this story, so as soon as I get more of this done, I'm going to TRY really hard to get an update on dare to be dared. I worked on it and put in one dare last night and I hope to get the next chapter finished today or tommorrow.

They carried Bearpaw and Firepaw into camp. As they entered Tearstar ran over and stopped dead as she noticed the two unmoving cats.

"Are they...dead?" she asked.

"Bearpaw is." Eagleheart replied solemnly. "Firepaw is hurt badly, but she's still alive."

"I'll tell Blackout that they fought like warriors." Tearstar said and padded off to find her and Moonblaze as the cats put Firepaw in the medicine den.

They lay Bearpaw in the center of the camp and cleaned up his wounds and made him look presentable in order to give him an honorable burial.

Rainpaw shook his head in disgust at what had happened and padded into the NPC medicine cat's den. Firepaw groaned and rolled her head to the side. Rainpaw spodded her torn ear and the scars along her face dressed in cobwebs.

"What kind of warrior am I?" Eagleheart said off to the side. Rainpaw spun around not noticing he was there. "I couldn't even defend them."

"That's not true." Rainpaw replied. "Firepaw's still alive becuase of you." Eagleheart shook his head and ran out of camp.


Firepaw was in the forest where the seasons dewelled, but she wasn't herself. She was a large and great flaming cat. Her eyes flashed like little suns and her body rolled with power. Her siblings had called her here.

"What do you want this time, little brothers and sisters?" her voice boomed. Her siblings hid still trembling with fear at her anger.

The Seasons slunk out of their hiding spots then lined up, Spring first and Winter last. Sun's eyes blazed.

"Why have you called me out of my slumber and destroyed my body?"

Summer, who Sun was most fond of said, "Sister, we could not contact you any other way."

Spring piped up, "and you're body is not yet destroyed, merely injured."

Sun snarled, "What is the message?"

The four's eyes glew, Spring's a light green, Summer's a dark green, Autums a amber, Winter's silver. they delivered the message.


On earth, one of Firepaw's golden eyes opened with a glazed look over it. She started muttering.

"The wolves will stirke and the forest falls.
four kits will be born.
Each representing the 4 changes of leaf.
They each hold greater power then any cat of the past, or to come.
Together, the forest will become great."

Rainpaw's ears pricked up. He padded over to Firepaw thinking she was waking up, but when he walked up to her, she was still unconscious. Rainpaw decided he was just hearing things and he needed some sleep. He went to the apprentices den and settled down in his bedding. As soon as he dozed off, he started having a dream.

Terrified cats were screeching and blurring past him. He couldn't tell who they were and he couldn't see very well because there was mist. Then one stopped, or at least looked like he stopped, and said "Please, help us! You have been chosen! Please!" and with that he vanished.

Rainpaw woke up startled. He had to stop eating so many sparrows before bed. He looked outside the apprentice den to see Firepaw's eyes become unglazed. They blazed like tiny suns. She heaved herself up and limped across the camp clearing, muttering over and over again. She finally collasped outside of the apprentice den. She muttered once again and fell asleep.

Rainpaw jumped up and ran out to her. What was that she was doing? he thought. It didn't matter. He picked her up and carefully put her into the bed next to him careful not to disturb the other NPC apprentices. He slipped into sleep yet again but had no disturbing dreams this time.


Rainpaw's ears perked up. He thought he heard a howl in the distance but there was nothing now. He padded out of the den and noticed that Moonblaze's scent was gone. It was all at least four hours old. Where was he? He padded out of camp following his old scent trail. After a while he smelled wolf scent and ran past the Fireclan boundries to the wolf camp that had attacked them before. The wolves were fleeing and Moonblaze was standing there.

"You...you beat them by yourself?" Rainpaw exclaimed in disbelief.

"No." Moonblaze replied. "Those chickens ran. I'm not sure why, but I won't let them get away." he ran past Rainpaw towards the fleeing wolves.

"I'm with you!" Rainpaw said as he bolted after him.


Tigerkit couldn't sleep. He wandered around the camp and went back to Blackout. She looked up at him and turned around to continue mourning Bearpaw. Tigerkit joined her. He hadn't known Bearpaw hardly at all, but apparently he was a very likeable cat.

After a while, Tigerkit saw Tearstar leave the camp. He smelled Rainpaw's scent and Moonblaze's scent leading out of camp too, even though Moonblaze's scent was old. He wasn't leaving camp with wolves out there. Instead, he walked over to the apprentice den. "Firepaw?" he hissed, "Are you awake?"

Firepaw blinked and answered in a gruff voice. "Yeah."

Tigerkit thought he saw her eyes turn gold but they were green like normal now. "Ok. Do you think that Rainpaw and Tearstar and Moonblaaze are safe? I think they are heading after the wolves."

Firepaw sat up. "They aren't allowed to attack them until the prohency starts!" she said, blinking.

Tigerkit was sure he saw her eyes turn gold for a second. "What prophecy?" he asked confused.

Firepaw blinked then uttered the prohency again, then curled up. "Wait a moon or two and it'll get a lot wrose," she said before drifting off.

Tigerkit grew tense. Four kits? Named after seasons? This all sounded scary to him. He didn't want to think about it so he padded back to Blackout, curled up, and fell asleep.


Moonblaze leapt on a wolf's back while Rainpaw bit at one of their legs while they ran. To Rainpaw's shock, Moonblaze fell right through the wolf and Rainpaw bit right through the wolve's leg feeling nothing.

"They're not even real wolves!" Moonblaze exclaimed. "They're almost like spirits!"

"But, but" Rainpaw stuttered. "We attacked them before!"

"These aren't the same wolves." Moonblaze said a lot more disturbed than he sounds right now.

"They're ghosts?" Rainpaw exclaimed.

"I think so." Moonblaze said. He got up and started limping. The fall had hurt his leg and he headed back to camp. Rainpaw followed him closely.

When they got back to camp, Moonblaze went into the warriors den and Rainpaw headed back to the apprentice den. His sleep didn't last long, as he was woken up by sounds of meowing. He padded out of the apprentice den and stopped when he saw two cats he didn't know in the clearing. What were they doing here?


Okay okay. I'm sorry. I'll work on dare to be dared. It seems a lot more popular than this anyway. Maybe this story isnt so good...anyway I at least someone liked this chapter
