Skysong: Well, here's chapter 7 (finally) Let me rant and rave about how EXTREMELY ticked I am about my computer viris killing all of my files and programs. just saying, I will NOT take a month to post the next chapter on #8 (I hope)

Wightshadoo: Oh great... not again...

Skysong: be quiet you. Anyway, I had to load my Internet, I still have yet to load word, powerpoint, and all the other microsoft stuff, I don't have google earth any more even though I didn't use it, and I lost ALL the songs I created on Mixcraft (windows version of garageband) !

Morningsky: and of course, she's been complaining about it to US.

Moonglow. :(

Skysong: :P

Wightshadoo. Aaaaaaaaaaand, chapter 7 is HERE! In Whitepaw/my pov! (WindClan apprentice, refer to the Allegiances)

Whitepaw reared back in shock. Her sister? Held hostage by rouges? Snarling, she unsheathed her claws into the ground. Those worthless excuses for cats!

Mews of worry flew through all the Clans, and even Mothstar seemed shocked by the news.

"Are... are you sure?" he asked quietly to SkyClan's Leader.

"Positive." she sighed, then announced to the clearing, "I don't know what these cats are up to, but keep an eye out on your Clans. We don't want any more hostages being taken."

"We won't let them take our cats!" spoke Stormstar, holding a determined look.

Yowls of agreement were shouted from below.

"Wait!" said Mothstar. "We don't know what these cats are like. What if they're stronger than us? I know I don't want to start a fight we can't win. Still, WindClan will launch a patrol over there to investigate, and see what they can pick up." With that, Mothstar jumped down from the tree. "The Gathering is over. Come, WindClan."

Whitepaw thought her leader seemed a bit reluctant to get Sorrelpaw back. "I'll make sure I'm on that patrol." she whispered.

"We'll get her back, Whitepaw." Morningpaw, Whitepaw's best friend, was standing next to her.

Whitepaw nodded. "I know. Nothing will stand in the way of getting my sister back. Nothing. I'm going to be on that patrol, and have Sorrelpaw back by Moon-high, no matter what our leader says."

"Mothstar makes choices on what he thinks best." murmured the orange and gray cat.

"Well," Whitepaw said, "this time it's the wrong one. Why should we wait? I can tell he to!"

Blood was pounding in the white and silver apprentice's ears as she crossed the dead tree to exit the island.

Don't you care that my sister was taken by rouges, Mothstar?

When she reached the WindClan camp with the rest of her Clan, Whitepaw went up to talk with her leader. She'd force him to get her sister back today.

Mothstar was talking with some of the senior Warriors about something over by the fresh-kill pile. Ignoring her friends calls, she padded up to her leader. "Mothstar. I have to talk to you. About the patrol."

Mothstar gave her a sympathetic look and rested his tail-tip on her shoulder. "Let me organize the patrol, okay Whitepaw?"

"That's not what I meant. I want to go on the patrol to find Sorrelpaw."

"I don't even know if we'll be sending out a patrol today," he explained. "We know nothing about these cats. Like I said at the gathering, they could be dangerous..."

"Fine. I understand," Whitepaw spoke without emotion. Then she turned around and walked away towards the apprentice's sleeping area. When she was sure Mothstar's attention was distraceted, she veered off towards the nursury and ducked behind it. If Mothstar won't send cats, then I'll go myself.

Whitepaw could run faster than most cats, a skill learned from having hunting ranges over a moor and chasing mostly rabbits for prey. I'll be there in no time! she thought happily as she approached the stream that separated WindClan and ThunderClan. Hesitantly sniffing the air, she concluded that no ThunderClan patrols were near. Quickly, she padded down to the lake, and into the water. Scents couldn't be tracked through water.

Wading through the water, Whitepaw thanked StarClan for the bright moonlight to guide her path. After what seemed like ages, she finally reached the border between SkyClan and ThunderClan.

While shaking herself dry, a scent caught the WindClan apprentice's nose. A disturbing scent. It was ThunderClan. And it was fresh.

With the terror of being discovered sparking an adrenaline rush, Whitepaw bolted away and up the border. The think undergrowth made it hard to run; she was used to wide open spaces. Which is why Whitepaw got caught.

"Hey! Wait up!"

Whitepaw ignored the voice and kept on running. Although the decideous forest slowed her down, she was still faster than any ThunderClan cat.

"I know where your sister is!"

That made her freeze in her tracks. Slowly, the WindClan apprentice turned around. Facing her was a small gray and white apprentice. She was panting, probably from chasing Whitepaw.

"Who are you?" Whitepaw asked cautiously.

"Skypaw. ThunderClan Medicine Cat apprentice. I know where the rouges are. Any more questions?"

Yeah... How the heck do you know my sister and where the rouges are?

"Where are they?"

Skypaw flicked her tail forward up the border. "They moved up above ThunderClan territory. Probably to take away more cats." her voice was hard with anger.

"Let's get them."

Skypaw smiled. "My very thoughts."

"So how do you know my sister?" Whitepaw questioned curiously as she and Skypaw padded up the border.

"Vision. I get them sometimes."

"How often?"

"This is my second one."

The duo fell silent. Suddenly Skypaw stiffened and stopped. "Oh no..." she whispered. "Come on we have to hurry! They're leaving!"

"What?" cold terror rushed over the WindClan apprentice.

"They're leaving for their camp with the cat's they've captured! The others are staying here."

"How far away is it?"

"Over the mountains. If you want your sister back, we have to go now!"

Skysong: okay, just an explanation of Whitepaw's behaviour... she gets kind of a little riled up because Mothstar is taking precautions with the rouges, and Whitepaw and her sister are really close. And she's also insane

Wightshadoo: Yup! Me and Sorrelpaw are BFFLs! Wait, WHAT? I'm not Insane!

Morningsky: ...

Moonglow: :D

Skysong: PLEASE REVIEW EVEN THOUGH MY UPDATING SUCKED!
