Hey ya'lls! If your wondering, no I'm not western. Actually, I just wondered what you think I look like... leave it in the reviews? Anyways, you can call me Ari, it's mah nick-name. Also, I have two polls open for Rosepaw's warrior name and Cloudpaw's warrior name! And if you want me to do a special interview with two characters, you guys choose them, and you guys ask the questions!

So Where did we leave off? Oh right!

Silverleaf of RavenClan: No, actually I haven't... hmm. I'll go check it out.

Luckystar9854: I'll text you an explanation.

Dawn: Lol, love your replies!

Robinwing: AHHH! DEMON!

Jaysong: I hope you like that little twist!

Hey guys, also I thought of the name Ari for the story BEFORE it became my nick-name. And who knows, will this be the last time we see Jesse and Lyll? And actually, I based Jesse off Niki's evil self in the TV show HEROES. Check it out! And also check out the song 'Royals' by Lorde.

Anywho, onto the story!

"Sherri?" Ari mewed. "Is that you?"

"I'm called Cherrypaw now, Ari." Cherrypaw mewed cautiously.

Cloudpaw just stared. Ari? Cherrypaw? He head spun at the thought. Blazepaw had come up to her at some point and twined his tail with hers.

"We should tell Spraystar." Blazepaw whispered encouragingly. "Don't worry about them, Cherrypaw can sort herself out. She has Mintpaw."

As if it where Blazepaw's trigger word, Ari asked another question. "Is Mindy here too?"

"She's Mintpaw now, mother." Cherrypaw answered, slightly proud.

Ari breathed out and murmured something that sounded like; 'oh Heavens, all these names...'

"Come on, Cloudpaw lets go tell Spraystar." Blazepaw breathed into her ear. Cloudpaw didn't know if it was his influence or her will to leave the mother and daughter, but she followed Blazepaw to the River-rock. She pushed her way past the lichen that hung over the entrance. It lead to a rather large cave. There where two nest's made of moss at one end, lined with goose feathers. The small stream that ran outside the River-rock lead into the cave on the opposite side of the nests', and it had created a small pond. There where also herbs in holes dug into the ground, covered by ferns. On the wall, where fish scales. From all kinds of fish. They rested on rough points in the wall where small chunks of stone jutted out.

The silver-blue leader was in her nest, washing herself with a gray tabby who went by the name Smokepuff. He was also Spraystar's mate.

Spraystar lifted her neck and looked at the two apprentices. "Yes, Cloudpaw, Blazepaw. What is it?"

Cloudpaw opened her mouth to say something, but Blazepaw beat her to it. "A rogue. She goes by the name Ari. Cloudpaw and I ran into some trouble on the way to the lake." Blazepaw told her what happened. "So the rogue, Ari, is in the camp. She wishes to join RiverClan."

Smokepuff gave a mrrow of disapproval. "We don't need more mouths to feed, with Leaf-Bare on the way."

"Hush now, Smokepuff." Spraystar shushed her mate. "Another mouth to feed could feed two others. I'll call a Clan meeting." Spraystar rose to her paws, closely trailed by Smokepuff.

Blazepaw turned, but licked Cloudpaw's shoulder encouragingly. Cloudpaw felt that warm fuzzy feeling in her heart again, but this time is was... what was the word? Bigger?

The two apprentices stepped into the clearing and stood beside Ari. The cherry-red she-cat was staring at Spraystar. Cloudpaw realized she was noticing Spraystar majestic pose on top of the giant rock.

"Cats of RiverClan! Join beneath River-rock for a Clan meeting!" the silver-blue she-cat announced. Soon cats started pouring out of dens, and from outside. Excited murmuring and anxious glances where shared as Spraystar began to speak yet again. "We have a new member of RiverClan today! Ari, step forward."

Ari gazed up at the intimidating high peak of the River-rock, and didn't budge. Cloudpaw nudged her. "Go one, it won't bite." she murmured. Once Ari left, the warm feeling of Blazepaw's fur disappeared, and she felt suddenly cold.

Ari raised herself gracefully. Sitting down beside the stream, Spraystar continued. "This cat has given up her life of a rogue and has decided to join RiverClan! Ari, until you receive your warrior name you shall be called Airpaw. West!" Spraystar addressed the ginger-yellow tom. "You where once also a rogue, but you have proven yourself a true RiverClan warrior. I expect you to tech these to your apprentice."

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Cherrypaw turn away, and headed into the medicine cat den. What is she doing?

"Airpaw! Airpaw!" The cats chanted, breaking her chain of thought. West, Cinnamon's brother, stepped up to Airpaw. They where probably the same age, but West was quite larger then her. He touched noses with the young apprentice then murmured something probably only Cloudpaw heard.

"Welcome to RiverClan, Airpaw."

Here's chapter seven! Or eight... uh, one of the two! And GUESS WHAT! I officially have a Deviantart account. You know what that means! Drawings of the characters! QUESTION OF THE DAY: What do you think Cherrypaw is doing? And where is Blazepaw?

Until next time!

xoxo
