Sorry these few chapters took so long to post! I've been busy and away! Anyways, hope you like it, and R&R as always If you have any questions, leave it as a review, and I'll try to answer it!

Windheart padded towards the Ancient Oak. He was already running behind, but Featherstar had to be a mouse-brain and drag him down even further with stupid questions. Grasspaw was staying back, since a couple of warriors were sick. He quickly ran up the hill, hoping to catch the others. He could see the blurry shapes of Lilyripple and Cloudshine, and hurried up the hill.

"Hello, Windheart." Lilyripple meowed when he finally caught up with them

"Hello, Lilyripple, Cloudshine." He panted. He padded slowly alongside the two other medicine cats.

"Have you seen Coalfoot?" Cloudshine meowed

"No, actually." He usually meets Coalfoot and Rainpaw at the edge of his territory, but they weren't here today. He had assumed that they had left already, since he is so late.

"I wonder where they are… They're usually the early ones." Cloudshine meowed. Rubypaw trotted behind them.

"Well, it's time." Lilyripple meowed. They gathered near the roots of the tree. Windheart padded to his usual spot, and closed his eyes.

(Windheart's Dream)

"Hello Windheart." Frecklepelt meowed warmly. "You are troubled, aren't you?"

"Yes Frecklepelt." Windheart meowed "Deadheart is extremely ill! I don't know what is wrong with him at all! His heart just hurts at random times." Windheart clawed at the grass.

"I see… His condition is strange. I've never seen anything like this before, but Swallowtail might have.." She trailed off, gaze troubled

"Swallowtail?"

"Yes, she was the FireClan medicine cat many seasons ago."

"Can she help Deadheart?"

"I do not know for sure." She admitted "But there is a great chance she can."

"Please help him!" Windheart begged "He's a good warrior, and you chose him for the prophecy!"

She ran her tail along his spine "I know how you feel, Windheart. But have faith!"

He nodded, still feeling guilty that he couldn't find a cure. Frecklepelt slowly faded away, leaving only her sweet scent. The scene faded, and he was back at the Ancient Oak. The other cats were slowly blinking awake.

"Did anyone get more dreams about the prophecy?" Cloudshine looked up.

"No, I didn't." Lilyripple meowed, and Windheart shook his head.

"Um.." Windheart started "I have a cat, who's been having strange pains in his chest. Have you have anything like this?"

Lilyripple wrinkled her nose in thought. "I have heard something like that, and I think there's an herb to prevent the pains…" Her voice trailed off "I forget what it is though."

"Have you tried catmint? It may help." Cloudshine meowed

"No, I haven't… But I will, now that you mention it."

" I try to remember the herb, then carry a message to you." Lilyripple meowed to him

"Alright, and thank you both." Windheart dipped his head in thanks.

"No problem." Cloudshine padded away "See you all at the gathering!"

Lilyripple dipped her head "I should go too. Good luck."

Windheart waved his tail in farewell, then padded back to BreezeClan territory. His heart felt a little lighter. No, he hasn't found an exact cure, but now he has an answer for Deadheart.

(FireClan)

"Let's go!" Mosspaw meowed to Skypaw. She blinked awake. What was she talking about? Mosspaw and Thistlepaw were both looking at her impatiently.

"Honestly, Skypaw! How long do you plan on sleeping?" Thistlepaw prodded her side with his paw.

"What do you want?" She whined. She was on a late night patrol, since Thornstar had ordered more patrols ever since the clan meeting about the rogues.

"Get up! We're finally being assessed!"

"But we were assessed!" Skypaw rolled over on her back, looking up at her siblings.

"Yes, but its official!" Thistlepaw meowed

"What do you mean, official?"

Mosspaw sighed "Never mind. Just get up!" She pushed Skypaw out of her nest. Cloud was still snoring in her nest.

"Fine!" Skypaw lifted herself off of the ground. Mosspaw and Thistlepaw left the den, chattering excitedly. She sighed and followed them out the den. Outside, the clearing was covered fresh, powder snow. It must of snowed over night, because she couldn't remember it yesterday. Skypaw was too busy looking around, she tripped over a branch, landing face first into a pile of snow. The sting of the cold snow pierced through her thick fur, waking her up. She scrambled up, hoping no one had seen her fall. Of course, the entire clan saw her. Leaftail's kits were all staring at her with large amused eyes, and some of the senior warriors were also looking at her. Skypaw felt her pelt burning up with embarrassment, and scurried away with Mosspaw and Thistlepaw. They were both looking at her with laughter in their eyes. Skypaw flicked their noses, looking down so they won't see her embarrassment. She followed Pinepelt and Stormclaw out of camp, with Mosspaw and Thistlepaw trailing behind.

"All right you all," Stormclaw meowed "This is your assessment, and you need to take it seriously." He raked his yellow gaze over the three of them.

"Okay." Skypaw answered, and then realized that no one else answered. Stormclaw glared at her, and she shuffled her paws uncomfortably. Pinepelt shot her a sympathetic glance.

"Go now. Do your best." He waved them off with his tail. Skypaw scrambled off, away from her littermates. She opened her mouth to taste the air, like all other times she had been in the forest. I'll do my best! She swore I'll serve my clan well! and followed the scent trail she had picked up.

(RippleClan)

"Help him!" Rosefur buried her nose into Graystar's fur. Cloudshine was next to them, with a pile of herbs. He looked down at them sadly.

"There's nothing more I can do," He meowed "He's on his way to StarClan." Rosefur let out a wail, and Deadtail pressed close to her. She shook her brother off, and laid close to Graystar.

"Do something!" Deadtail begged Cloudshine. Sadness clouded his eyes.

"All I can do is ease his way."

"Then do it." Rosefur meowed quietly. She lifted her head, looking at Cloudshine. He nodded, and kneaded a large pawful of poppy seed into some marigold. He nudged the pulp towards Graystar, just as Wetclaw ran in.

"Graystar!" His eyes grew wide at the sight of the nearly motionless cat, lying in his nest. He rushed over to his leader. "Can you save him?" Cloudshine shook his head sadly. Wetclaw felt his heart drop to his stomach. He didn't want to be leader!

"Graystar, eat some." Rosefur urged him. Graystar lifted his head, pain glazing his eyes. He licked at some of the pulp, and he relaxed a bit. Slowly, the light faded out of his eyes, and his chest stopped rising. Rosefur whimpered, and Deadtail wrapped his tail around her. Wetclaw's expression was unreadable. He padded out of the den, and the others followed. He climbed up the Highledge, and judging from most the cats' expressions, they knew what had happened.

"You all," Wetclaw cleared his throat, and all eyes were on him. He shuffled uncomfortably "Graystar is dead." No one moved. Cinderclaw was the first to dip his head down to Wetclaw, and the others followed

"Wetstar…" They echoed. Hawkfeather felt a pang in his heart. Graystar had lost his lives so quickly, and all for his clan.

"I will go to the Ancient Oak to get my nine lives tonight." He announced. Rosefur and Deadtail dragged Graystar's body into the clearing. Almost all the cats padded towards it and dipped their heads to pay their last respects. Oh StarClan! Hawkfeather looked up at the sky Why do you have to let these things happen to RippleClan?

I know this was a really short chapter, but I didn't want to keep you all waiting! I've been super busy because my mom's making me study for the National French Exam (There's still 3 months -.-) But anyways, thank you all for your support and I will try to type as fast as I can!
