Author's Note: *flails* Once again, thanks for all your very nice reviews. I really appreciate it. And I'm going to warn you- this chapter's longer than usual. Enjoy~

As Audrey and Wolfnight padded through the cave, the dim lighting slowly turned brighter, and soon the two cats had a full clear view of a large cave room, with a tall stone in the middle and several holes in the walls, serving as entrances to different dens.

Audrey looked at Wolfnight. He was a dark gray tom cat, with a bit of black and light brown tinged around his chest fur. His legs, chest, and muzzle were white. He had stormy blue eyes.

Wolfnight glanced at Audrey and narrowed his eyes. "What?"

"Aren't you going to show me around this place?"

Wolfnight sighed. He pointed his tail to the row of holes in the walls. "That's the nursery, the one with a small pond in front of the entrance. Mother cats, or, queens as we normally call them, usually stay inside to care for their kits. That's the apprentice's den, next to the nursery." He then turned his head to the direction of stalagmites covering an entrance to a den. "That's the warriors' den."

Audrey raised an eyebrow. "How do they get in?"

"They step over the stalagmites. Those things aren't that tall, y'know," Wolfnight said, rolling his eyes. He continued showing Audrey around the cave.

When Wolfnight was done giving Audrey the tour, a silver she-cat with black tabby stripes caught the sight of the two. She leaped from the tall stone she stood on, landing perfectly on her paws.

The she-cat nodded to Wolfnight as a greeting, then examined Audrey, her green eyes glistening with suspicion.

Wolfnight bowed his head respectfully. He glanced at Audrey who was staring off into space like a goof. "Bow your head," He muttered. "She's the leader!"

"Oh!" Audrey smiled sheepishly and did as she was told.

"...What's your name?" The she-cat asked Audrey in a quiet but cold tone.

"Uh...Audrey," Said she-cat replied.

"Audrey? That's a strange name," Wolfnight grunted.

"Said the dude whose name is Wolfnight," Audrey muttered to herself.

"Audrey, I'm Riddlestar," The leader said. "How did you find BatClan?"

Audrey thought for a moment. Should I tell them what happened to me? ...No. They would never believe me. Finally, she cleared her throat and spoke. "Um...I was just exploring the forest, became a bit exhausted, found your cave, and slept inside. That's when Wolfnight found me. He brought me back here, but I don't know why."

Wolfnight stepped forward. "I, uh, just thought she would be a good addition to the Clan. I mean, we are kind of dying out. We need some more strong cats."

Riddlestar raised an eyebrow. "So you just take random cats you find in the forest and bring them here?" She asked in a stern tone.

"N-no, I don't do that!" Wolfnight stammered. "Something just told me that...maybe she could save our Clan," He added in a lowered voice.

Riddlestar sighed deeply, sheathing and unsheathing her claws over and over again. "...Wolfnight, I thought I told you that we could handle this problem on our own," She said calmly, the flame of stress and anger in her green eyes slowly dying out.

Audrey became stiff. "Um...if you don't mind my asking, but what's your problem anyway?"

Wolfnight faced Audrey, the fierceness in his stormy blue eyes fading. "Not too long ago, our Clan got infected by a disease. Our medicine cat and his apprentice struggled to cure all of the sick cats, but failed. Many died. SnakeClan, our rival, soon found out about this. They have been planning revenge on us since...forever for ridiculous reasons. They become easily envious, and right now they're jealous of the power that we...used to have. Now they're performing constant attacks on us, making us lose even more cats."

Riddlestar narrowed her eyes. "Alright...I guess we need help after all," She admitted, kicking some small rocks. "We can never survive this without help." She paused. "But then again, I do enjoy myself some good battling," She chuckled, holding her head up high.

Wolfnight shot a disappointing glance at his leader after hearing her sentence.

Riddlestar cleared her throat. "Ahem. Okay, back to the problem. Audrey...I know this is probably awkward for you right now, but the whole Clan needs your answer. Will you...or will you not help our Clan in this crisis?"

Audrey shivered. There was a hint of fear in her eyes. "...I-I can't. I'm sorry. I have problems to face myself."

Riddlestar stared at Audrey, anger building up in her. Her mysterious, yet graceful movements soon turned into quick-moving actions. She pinned Audrey to the walls of the cave. "Problems of your own, eh? Bigger than a dying family?" She hissed. "Go then. Go away. Just think about what kind of decision you've just made."

Wolfnight watched awkwardly. He ran up to Riddlestar and grabbed her scruff, pulling her off of Audrey. "Calm down. It's not that big of a deal. She's probably not the one StarClan was talking about in their message."

A drop of sweat fell down from Audrey's forehead. She didn't know what else to do except run to the exit of the cave in fear.
