YES! I am updating all of the stories I haven't updated in forever besides Path of Dreams. Don't worry, I AM still doing it. I just can't right now.
We are skipping up to when Tawnypaw runs away, so the StarClan cats are done dancing. Finally. Cinderpaw was slightly disturbed.
Onekit IS dead in this story now also. So Cinderpaw talks to herself. Like I do. Wow, we're really alike. I wonder why? (Possible Spoiler: The Origin of the Two Cat)

Wind stared at Yellowfang. Yellowfang stared at Wind. Spottedleaf watched. Wind blinked.
"YES!" Yellowfang yowled. "I won the starring contest championship! I am the starring champion!"
Yellowfang began to celebrate with her unnamed daughters.
"Wait!" Swiftpaw hissed. "Something important is happening!"
All of the StarClan cats immediately stopped what they were doing and watched what was happening next.
Meanwhile...
Cinderpaw watched Wind and Yellowfang. "Wind will win," she murmured. As it turned out, Yellowfang won. "Mouse dung!" she hissed. Suddenly, all of the StarClan cats were watching Firepaw. Cinderpaw sighed. They were so unpredictable. She turned around and watched what was happening next.
The events that followed next...
Firepaw walked into camp with Longtail and Graystripe, carrying a mouse and a rabbit. He noticed immediately that something was wrong. He dropped the mouse and the rabbit onto the fresh-kill pile and ran over to see what was happening.
"What's going on?" Longtail asked.
"Tawnypaw has disappeared," Whitestorm replied.
Cloudtail walked over to Whitestorm. "I'll track her," he offered.
"Me too," Firepaw added.
"Alright," Whitestorm mewed. "Take Sandstorm with you too."
Cloudtail nodded and led Firepaw and Sandstorm to the camp entrance. "Let's track her from here."
Firepaw sniffed the ground and immediately smelled Tawnypaw's scent. He followed her scent trail until he was at the top of the ravine, Cloudtail and Sandstorm behind him. Firepaw began sniffing around the area but couldn't find Tawnypaw's scent.
"Over here!" Cloudtail called. "I found it!"
The three cats followed the scent trail a little bit, but soon it began raining.
"We'll never find her now," Sandstorm panted.
"You're right," Cloudtail mewed. "Let's go back."
The three cats went back to camp and explained what had happened to Whitestorm and Goldenflower.
Whitestorm nodded. "There's nothing more we can do." He turned over to Firepaw. "Get some rest. You're on dawn patrol tomorrow."
Firepaw nodded and walked over to the apprentices den with tears in his eyes.
Bramblepaw ran over to Firepaw and put his tail on his brother's shoulder. "Don't worry. Tawnypaw can take care of herself."
Firepaw flicked his tail. "Something's wrong though. There's trouble coming. I can feel it."
"We're becoming warriors tomorrow," Bramblepaw whispered. He touched his nose with Firepaw's. "We'll be fine."
Firepaw walked back into camp with Bramblepaw, Whitestorm, Brackenfur, and Longtail. He wanted to go back to his nest and catch up on his sleep, but Bluestar had just called the Clan together for a meeting. Bramblepaw looked at Firepaw excitedly as they walked over to the Highrock.
"Two of our apprentices are ready to be made warriors," Bluestar told them. "Bramblepaw, Firepaw, come forward."
Firepaw stepped forward with his brother.
"I, Bluestar, call upon StarClan to look down upon these apprentices. They have learned the ways of your noble code, and we commend them into warriors in their turn.
(I fail. That's not right. It's better than I thought, though.)
"Bramblepaw, Firepaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and protect this Clan, even at the cost of your life?"
"I do!" Bramblepaw mewed excitedly.
"I do," Firepaw added, his tail shaking. He didn't feel as happy as he thought he would. Something was going to happen. Something wrong. He could feel it.
"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Bramblepaw, from this moment on you'll be known as Brambleclaw..." Bluestar continued the ceremony, but it all faded away. Suddenly, Firepaw was watching the StarClan cats.
"Four will become two, blood will spill blood, and fire will save the Clan," Thunder mewed.
"No, that's not right," Spottedleaf told him. "Before there is peace, fire will save the Clan, and blood will rule the forest."
"Four will become two, fire will save the Clan, who has the power of stars in its paws?" Sunstar offered.
"Stop mixing up prophecies!" Yellowfang yowled, silencing all of the StarClan cats. "It's 'Four will become two, lion and tiger will unite in battle, and blood will rule the forest."
"Isn't it lion and tiger will meet in battle?" Swiftpaw asked.
"That and lion and tiger will join in battle," Yellowfang replied. "unite makes it a little more obvious."
Suddenly, Firepaw was in front of Bluestar again.
"Firepaw, from this moment on you'll be known as..."
His vision only seemed to take up a few moments. Firepaw leaned forward as he waited for what his warrior name would be.
Ooh, a cliffhanger! This is going to anger you all. Don't worry, I already know what his warrior name will be! Have fun guessing it!
The Book of Random is next!
