NanoApocolypse- Wait no longer! Here's the next chapter! Hot and right out of the press! …well, computer anyways . hee hee…cookies… :D HI COOKIE MONSTER! –Waves like a madwoman-

Thanks everyone for reviewing! Today I started school, and I feel like an over hyper puppy about it. - ugh, I'm such an odd kid. ANYWAY I have a few honors classes, so if a few chapters are really crappy, the overwhelming amount of homework I receive may be why! Or I just get tired and lazy…

But I love writing so I'm not gonna let that happen! So read it up, and happy end of summer to those it is!

Chapter 16

StarClan

"This was not what was supposed to happen! Can't you stop it?" Olivefur paced near the little pool of water that Icewhisp had recently used to show Larkblossom the past. The white tom shook his head.

"It is to be. None can stop it, not even us." The queen growled and lashed her tail.

"The Clan is at stake, Icewhisp! He was to warn her, not nest with her! What if she doesn't stop-" Icewhisp jumped up from where he was sitting.

"Stop worrying!" He snapped impatiently. "It will work out, just have faith. She has been chosen for this prophecy." He looked into the pool. The image of the two sleeping warriors appeared, but was getting murky as heartbeats went by. "We have told her to be strong. Now she knows most of Briarpath's secrets…she will be alright."

"I have faith, but very important lives are at stake…he should have just told her what his father planned and returned her to ForestClan." Olivefur mewed sadly.

"He doesn't even know all the truth; his mother fed him lies about his sister's death. Now think of what else she might have told him to try and save her own sanity." Icewhisp bared his teeth. "She deserves to be happy. And I died trying to make it possible for her." Olivefur nodded and glanced out into the fields. A small figure of a kit bounced towards them.

Icewhisp followed Olivefur's gaze and smiled softly.

"Ah, Dawnkit! It is nice to see you. What brings you here?" He asked the small kit. She had a bright red pelt with even brighter paws. She would have been beautiful if she had had the chance to grow up.

"I need to speak with my brother." She mewed. She gave no sign she was going to explain why, and an air of superiority surrounded the small kit.

"Why do you need to tell us for?" Olivefur asked curiously. No cat needed to let others know if they had to contact with the living.

"He's going to help."

The little red kit didn't elaborate any further, and curled up by the pool and went to sleep.

Larkblossom

A sharp startled Larkblossom awake. She lifted her head from the ground in confusion. Where am I?

Then she saw the familiar pelt of Briarpath and had to smile. Then he twitched. His paw flew back and she had to jump out of the way to avoid being hit. She rolled out from under the bush. Dawn had begun to show, and it had quit raining.

She crawled back under the bush to find Briarpath beginning to wake up.

"Good morning!" She purred. "You know you were sleeping, not fighting a battle!" She jumped back as Briarpath gasped and stood up from where he was sleeping. His eyes were wide open with fear and his fur stood on end. His breath came out in short, ragged gasps.

"What happened? What's wrong?" she asked. He shook.

"Your father…" Larkblossom pricked her ears.

"What about him? Is something wrong?" Worry began to eat at her belly.

"My father is sending a raid to get rid of him and anyone one else who gets in the way!" He blurted. Fear clouded his eyes. Larkblossom stepped back.

"What?" She asked sharply. She slowly backed away from the fern.

"Larkblossom…I don't know when. It could be today, tomorrow, or next moon…" He started saying as she backed away from him.

"How long have you known this?" She drew her ears back close to her head in fear.

"For a moon…a few sunrises after my father caught me." He said guiltily. Larkblossom was shocked. "You never even tried to warn me. Nothing…you didn't even try talking to me whatsoever!" Her voice raised an octave.

"I know, I know! It wasn't my fault though! I tried, I really did!" He protested. She shook her head.

"You didn't try hard enough, Briarpath!" She snarled. "I have to go. Don't talk to me unless it's important." She stalked away from the bush, feeling more confused than ever.

Olivefur

Confusion swirled in her daughter's heart. Olivefur couldn't blame her. She knew Briarpath would be a good help, but he was creating more stress for Larkblossom than Olivefur thought he would. But she knew her friend's son was confused too.

She watched him leave the ForestClan territory with shoulders slumped with guilt. Olivefur felt a little anger he didn't warn her daughter. She soon shook her head and sighed in annoyance.

"It's not your fault you know. You're doing your best." Olivefur twitched her ears. She knew who the voice belonged to, but didn't feel like moving. "My daughter is hurting, mother." She mewed sadly.

"Rowanstar has abandoned her, and she is lost. What do I do to prepare her for everything her future holds?" She meowed tremulously, fear glowing in her eyes.

A golden brown she-cat padded up to her and licked her ear softly. "Don't worry, it is her destiny. She is strong enough to pull through."

"But…what if she doesn't, Lighthawk? What will the clan do?"

"The clan will die."
