Just so you know, I was on Spring Break all the past week or so, so I won't be able to update as quickly. Bear with me!

Okay, Love the names, especially Nightfall. So good. Maybe I'll use it.

Oh, and last of all, Blossomfire!!! AHHH THAT WAS PURE GENIUS MY FRIEND, LIGHTKIT!!! You get the Jayfeather plushie!!!!

So, ya, here's the story. Love ya'll!

The clearing was hectic. WindClan cats were pouring into the camp from almost every where. Lionblaze was coming out of the warriors' den as it started to happen.

Firestar ran out onto the Highledge, and looked down at the cats. He planned quickly, calling out orders, "Dustpelt, Ashfur, get the elders out. Protect the nursery! ThunderClan, defend!" he yowled a battle cry, and leaped down to the rushing cats, near the spot Onestar was going to be.

Lionblaze saw a WindClan warrior rush into the nursery, and he heard the queens cry out in shock. Lionblaze ran over to the nursery, his blood pumping, adrenalin rushing through his veins. He could almost feel his power rushing to his aid, making him unstoppable. He saw Millie swipe at the cat in the den, pushing her kits behind her.

Almost immediately, Lionblaze could tell that the cat in the den was Nightcloud. She was trying to grab Millie's kits, but Millie was strong. Lionblaze had heard that a queen's wrath over those who wanted to hurt her kits was relentless. It was very true now. Whitewing was also in the den, getting pushed back by Ferncloud, who was trying to fight off Nightcloud too.

Lionblaze burst into the little den, and grabbed Nightcloud by the scruff. She howled in pain and turned to see who her attacker was. When she saw it was Lionblaze she spat in rage,

"You!" She cried, "You, the kit of the liar!" Lionblaze understood who she meant. Crowfeather.

He pulled her out of the den, away from the queens. He threw her as hard as he could, and she slammed into the rocks. She was slumped over for a moment, then hopped up,

"This won't be the last time we meet half-clan." She spat at him, then she ran to attack another cat.

Lionblaze was about to pressure her, but a cat jumped on his back, pushing him towards the ground. A familiar scent filled his nose.

Heathertail.

Lionblaze didn't know weather to be mad or upset. He couldn't attack Heathertail, not after all that they had been through. But she was tearing at the fur on his back and biting his ears. He had to do something.

"I'm sorry," he whispered, rolling over. His greater weight was a heavy load on Heathertail's body, and her breath was knocked out of her chest. He sprang up, and fell back on her, right side up. He put his paws on her shoulders, holding her down.

"Go ahead and kill me," She spat, "You don't care for me."

"Heathertail, that's not true!" He was desperate, wanting her back. Somewhere in the back of his mind, he realized that his love for Cinderheart was false, that it still was Heathertail that he loved.

"Look me in the eyes," He snarled, "And tell me that you still don't love me Heathertail." She started to look away, scared of the tom above her, "Look at me!" He snarled again, enraged. He saw himself ripping at her fur, trying to get her to listen. Her blood spilling out onto the ground, flowing around him. He shook the memory out of his mind.

Heathertail had looked up at him, and was staring deep into his eyes. He begged StarClan that she could feel his love for her in his deep amber eyes. Her blue eyes were scared of Lionblaze, scared that she would die if she didn't do what he wanted.

"Do you feel it?" He said, "Do you feel the pain I felt when you left me?" he sounded insane, and he looked insane.

Heathertail's face was confused for a moment, and then she jerked her head back, like being broken out of a trance.

"Lionblaze. Let. Me. Go." She snarled, "I know that you don't love me. I know everything. What ever it was that stole my love from you, I am glad it came." She struggled to get out from beneath Lionblaze, but he dug his claws into her shoulders. He was about to snarl and hiss at her, but was thrown off of her. Some cat had rammed into him.

Breezepelt. He had slammed himself into Lionblaze and thrown him across the ground. He was helping Heathertail off the ground, and he put himself in front of her.

"Touch her again, and I'll kill you." He snarled, and he pushed her away, "Let's get out of here." He said to her, and they both ran off into the fighting cats.

Lionblaze looked at all the cats in the clearing. Firestar was fighting two cats at once, one of them being Onestar. Hollyleaf was fighting along side of Mousewhisker. Cinderheart was trying to fight off Harespring and Dewspots by herself. Lionblaze, who was still at least fond of Cinderheart, leapt down to help her.

He ran to attack Hearspring first, the bigger target. He slashed his claws across his muzzle, and sent him running away with his tail between his legs. Cinderheart had taken the opportunity to attack Dewspots while she was distracted by her battle partner's fall. Cinderheart jumped and raked her claws along Dewspots' flank. She ran yowling too.

Lionblaze turned around, hearing another cat screech in pain. He saw his apprentice, with no battle training at all, was tearing up Sunpaw. He used planned moves turning and feinting in the air, using moves that a fully trained apprentice would have trouble. Lionblaze was overjoyed to think about training him. He would be a great fighter. Cinderheart turned to Lionblaze,

"I think we're winning." She said, and she was right. Windclan was retreating quickly, and even Onestar called out, "Retreat! Fall back WindClan!" Almost immediately, all the cats were gone, except Ashfoot, who was at the top of the camp, attacking the elders with Tornear and Owlwhisker.

Ashfur and Dustpelt were trying their hardest to defend the elder's from the WindClan cats, but they were not winning. Owlwhisker feinted to the right, and got past Ahsfur. He attacked Mousefur, who was no match for the young warrior. She fell to the ground, the life torn out of her. Dustpelt was so enraged that he threw himself at Owlwhisker, who toppled over the edge to the ground below. Dustpelt was about to follow after him, thrown by his own force, but Ashfur grabbed him,

"Dustpelt, no!" Ferncloud had come out of the nursery, and saw Dustpelt hanging over the edge, only her brother holding onto him.

Dustpelt was larger that Ashfur, and was heavier too. It was only a matter of time when Ashfur dropped him. But that wasn't what caused Dustpelt to drop.

Ashfoot bit down on Ashfur's tail, and he screamed in pain, dropping Dustpelt. He toppled to the ground, landing on his back legs, where he lay motionless.

By then all the WindClan cats had left, and Tornear and Ashfoot had run out of the camp, back to their own territory. Cats rushed around, including Jayfeather.

He quickly examined Dustpelt, while Lionblaze silently prayed to star clan that he would live.

"He's still alive!" Jayfeather called out, "But unconscious. We need to get him in my den or he won't live very long."

Berrynose and Brackenfur picked up Dustpelt, and carried him towards the medicine cat den, Jayfeather following behind, snapping orders at them.

Don't let him die, Lionblaze thought, we need a warrior like him. Though, he is the third eldest cat in the clan. Thinking about the elders reminded Lionblaze about Mousefur. She still lay up at the top of the camp, dead.

This can't be right, Lionblaze couldn't help thinking, why would WindClan attack us? What quarrel do they have with us? He couldn't help remembering Heathertail, and how she was so close to breaking through what Hollyleaf had done to her.

Wait, he told himself, Do you love Cinderheart or not? Why should you care about Heathertail…Did I ever love Cinderheart? Lionblaze couldn't help but question himself. He was so sure that he lobed Heathertail, but a thought came to his mind, like it wasn't his doing.

Maybe it wasn't me, Lionblaze thought, realizing what was happening, what if it was…No she didn't…Hollyleaf, the answer was so clear to Lionblaze. She had done that to him, so he would get over Heathertail.

Suddenly he was filled with a silent rage, determined to find Hollyleaf and make her pay. He looked around, and saw her over by Mousewhisker, who had a gash on his flank.

He stalked his way over to her, and snarled, "Can I talk to you for a moment?" Hollyleaf was taken aback by his snarl, but followed him over to the edge of the clearing. He whirled around at her,

"Hollyleaf, I know what you did to me," her guilty expression gave Lionblaze the answer that he needed, "And I hope that you know I will never let you live this down." His voice was growing into a shout, and Hollyleaf tried to get him to clam down,

"Lionblaze, calm down. Yes, I admit it, I did control you to get you over Heathertail. Cinderheart does love you, why can't you love her back? She thinks that you do love her."

Lionblaze snorted. He didn't want to hear all of this, "Cinderheart is a very nice cat, and very likeable. She just…she's just a friend." He sounded uncertain.

Now it was Hollyleaf's turn to snort humorlessly, "Lionblaze, you are so blind you know? You can't even tell what's going on, can you?"

Lionblaze's eyes shot with confusion, "What do you mean? There's nothing wrong."

"You better hope so," Hollyleaf laughed again, "Because trust me, you are going to want to find out soon."

"Will you just tell me already?" Lionblaze's voice was thick with anger, and he was about to slash Hollyleaf to pieces.

Hollyleaf's eyes almost shined with triumph as she spoke, "She is in love with you."

Lionblaze sighed, "Yeah, I got that part."

"No, you don't get it," Hollyleaf sighed in frustration, "She really loves you. Like, would die for you love you. She has wanted you since she first saw you. Too bad that her lover is lying and is practically cheating on her."

"That's not true," Lionblaze snapped, "I'm just getting over Heathertail still. I do love Cinderheart." He didn't know if the last part was a lie or truth, but he wanted it to be both.

"Look," He snarled, "We need to be able to trust each other Hollyleaf. How can I do that when you're messing with my mind? How do I know that you won't use your power to get what you want, like an apprentice, or to become deputy?"

Hollyleaf looked as if she was struck, "I would never do that to the Clan Lionblaze! I-I respect the warrior code as much as any other cat."

"No, you love it too much," Lionblaze corrected, "What cat would keep two lovers apart? I was meant for Heathertail, but your stupid, mouse-brained, warrior code is all you think about. You never cared for me. You never cared that Tigerstar-" he stopped talking. He never told anyone about Tigerstar.

"What's this about Tigerstar? He's not even our grandfather anymore." Hollyleaf questioned, her green eyes flashing with confusion.

Lionblaze recovered quickly, "That's what I mean. I still looked a bit like Tigerstar. I was still being judged by everyone. Plus, I was a good fighter like him."

Hollyleaf nodded, but didn't believe one word of it. Lionblaze had a strange blood-lust after a battle. She didn't want to push it,

"Look, all I'm trying to say is, take care of Cinderheart, and your apprentice, Toadpaw. She needs you more than you think. And Toadpaw looks up to you. You are the best fighter in the clan."

Lionblaze had to admit that Hollyleaf was right. He could tell that Cinderheart liked him, and that she was a kind cat who could look after a litter or two of kits. But still in the back of his head, Heathertail scratched at his memory. He pushed her away. He had seen how Breezepelt looked at her, how he cared for her. As much as he hated to say it, his half-brother was a very strong cat.

He looked at his sister, who was at a large amount of unease. She was shifting her paws, and he saw Mousewhisker looking at them, probably deciding whether or not to see what was wrong. He had to let her go,

"Hollyleaf, all I want to tell you is, I am trying. I just…I miss Heathertail. Only time can heal that. And stay out of my head, or I will shred your ears." He turned around, and walked off, passing Mousewhisker. He looked at Lionblaze with a strange look in his eyes. Lionblaze had seen that look before. Was it distrust or dislike? Or was it both?

Lionblaze walked over to Firestar, who had walked out of the medicine cat den,

"How is Dustpelt?" He asked, and Firestar sighed,

"He is going to live, but in pain. He is going to be paralyzed from the haunches down, his back legs and his tail. He will have to join the elders."

The word elders reminded Lionblaze of something, "Oh, Firestar…Mousefur…She died. Owlwhisker killed her."

"Owlwhisker…He will pay for this, as will Ashfur. She could have seen that Dustpelt was going to fall. No cat should be that cruel." Firestar's voice was cold, full of hatred for WindClan, "At the next gathering, they will not get away with this."

Lionblaze knew that the last gather was only a few days ago, and that the next one would be in a moon. That was a lot of time for something to happen.

"Lionblaze, would you take a cat with you to go get her? We need to sit vigil for her, and then burry her," Lionblaze was turning away when Firestar stopped him, "You know, I saw Toadpaw fighting. He is very good. I expect that you will teach him all of your moves," Firestar's eyes narrowed, "Those are very good moves that you came up with all by your self."

Lionblaze felt his pelt heat up, and he nodded, "I will Firestar. I promise to do my best." Firestar nodded,

"Just remember, he's only a day old apprentice. Go easy on him for a while. Then, in about a week, start to go a bit harder. Build him up. In a good two moons, he will be a good strong, obedient apprentice. Give him a moon after that, and he will be a warrior."

Lionblaze nodded again, "Thank-you for the advice Firestar. I must imagine that you were a good mentor."

Firestar's green eyes dimmed, their normal glow gone, "I don't think so. My first apprentice was hit by a monster on the thunderpath, and the other doesn't believe in StarClan. I have only watched apprentices, and been told that by other mentors. Bluestar, my mentor, was a very good mentor. I use her techniques still."

Lionblaze nodded once more, and had to go get Mousefur. He spotted Thornclaw, and bounded over to the deputy,

"Firestar asked me to find someone to help me get Mousefur. Will you come help me?" Thornclaw nodded, but then asked, "What happened?"

"Owlwhisker killed her." Lionblaze sighed. The young warrior was still in the middle of the clearing, dead. He was thrown off the cliff with such a force that he slammed into another wall of stone, and then fell to the ground.

Thornclaw just nodded, and lead the way to the top of the camp. Lionblaze had to admit, it was a long way down to the bottom. Even from the high ledge, it was far. The fall should have killed Dustpelt, but he was lucky.

Lionblaze and Thornclaw picked up Mousefur between their two bodies, and carried her down. Shocked meows came out when the cats saw her. No one could see what had happened; only that Dustpelt had fallen.

The clan gathered around Mousefur, and some started to put their noses in her fur, like they had done for Brambleclaw a few days ago.

Lionblaze heard a cat come up behind him, and he saw Cinderheart. His recent conversation with Hollyleaf was still in his mind, so he really tried to prove himself. He could love Cinderheart, and he would show Hollyleaf.

"Hey there, sweetheart," Cinderheart said, "Are you okay? Did you get hurt?" She was nosing in his fur, looking for gashes or cuts. Lionblaze shook his head,

"No, I'm fine," or at least physically, "Are you okay? You were fighting pretty hard."

She nodded; she looked fine, "It's just so sad with what happened to Mousefur and Dustpelt."

"WindClan will pay for what they have done," Lionblaze said, repeating Firestar's words, "At the next gathering, they will pay."

Hollyleaf was a happy as she could be. Sadly, that wasn't extremely happy.

She often was told to stay near the WindClan border and come running if anything happened. She was one of the fastest cats in the clan.

It was twelve sunrises since the WindClan battle. On the night after, Berrynose and Mousewhisker had to take Owlwhisker to the WindClan border and wait for a patrol to come by. When one finally came, a border fight almost broke out. The patrol consisted of Ashfoot, Tornear, and Breezepelt. The two ThunderClan cats hissed at the two cats that had been fighting upon the ledge. It was Ashfoot's fault that Dustpelt was maimed. Breezepelt was somewhat shocked when he saw how mangled Owlwhisker looked. Mousewhisker told Hollyleaf that his expression would have been priceless if they weren't in the situation.

Now, Hollyleaf just sat there, enjoying the sunny day. It looked as if it might start raining, but the clouds were far off. She figured it would rain that night.

Her thoughts wandered to this place and that, not thinking about much. Her mind set on Dustpelt, and how his back legs looked.

It was very sad, what happened to Dustpelt. He couldn't move, walk, or even sit. He had to lie on his side the whole time. Jayfeather guessed that he would never join the warriors again. The elders would be a hard choice too. If there was another attack, he wouldn't make it out in time. He would die, or at least, most likely. Even Leafpool had wandered over to look at Dustpelt, her natural medicine cat taking over.

Firestar had been working with her for the past days. She was coming along poorly. Fighting wasn't her thing. She was afraid to hurt someone; she knew how bad some of the wounds a cat could inflect. She didn't want to hurt anything, but Firestar was firm. He let Crowfeather come along too, to help teach him to hunt in the dense trees, and their own attack moves. He was getting along better, but not by much.

Hollyleaf shook off the thought of her parents. She hadn't cared much for them anymore. They were liars, and they didn't respect the warrior code.

But she had a twang of thought. Would I be a mother like that? No…I respect the warrior code, and so would my kits. I would teach them, and love them.

Hollyleaf had been spending so much time with Mousewhisker she seemed to always be with him. Firestar had noticed, put them on different tasks for a few days, and they didn't see each other except at night when they slept. She had to be one watch, while he hunted. He passed her every now and then, but not that often. She was really hoping that they could be together forever.

Hollyleaf's head suddenly swam. She felt dizzy for a moment, and shook her head. It was gone as soon as it had started. She felt hungry too.

She had a sudden sensation in her stomach. She felt something strange, something out of place. It wasn't something you would feel normally. It was like a…a…

A kick. Something in her kicked.

The truth suddenly came to Hollyleaf. She might be having kits…She had to go find out.

She leaped up, leaving her post. She turned and fled back to camp. She had to talk to Jayfeather.

The trees passed her as she ran as fast as she could. She didn't see it when she ran into Thornclaw. The two tumbled until the landed with Thornclaw on top of her.

He jumped off of her as if she was on fire. He turned around to see Ashfur running towards them.

"Hollyleaf, what were you doing? Is WindClan attacking?" Thornclaw said, looking her in the eyes, "What happened?"

"Oh, well, no…WindClan isn't coming…" Hollyleaf stumbled, and Ashfur join in the conversation,

"Then what is it? There has to be a reason for you running around like a mad-cat."

Hollyleaf was embarrassed. She had just run into the deputy, and she didn't want to tell them that she thought she was heavy with kits.

"Well…um…uh…I…I felt something kick in me…and uh…" Her voice faded into nothing, but Thornclaw heard her say something about Jayfeather.

"So you want to go check? That's alright." Ashfur shrugged. He was being too nice, it made Hollyleaf suspicious, "I can take your post. Go find Jayfeather, and then find Mousewhisker." Hollyleaf nodded, and turned to leave. She walked, to show she was in control.

As she was walking, she heard Ashfur lean over to Thornclaw, "There's nothing you can do."

She didn't know exactly what to make of that, so she just continued on her way. She made it to the camp quickly, and went into the medicine cat den. She passed Hazeltail on her way in. Wonder what she was doing in there… Hazeltail, as Hollyleaf had been noticing, was spending a lot of time with Jayfeather. She didn't like it.

But she went in, and saw Jayfeather, "Hey, Jayfeather can you do something for me?"

"Just lay on your side. I'll be right there." How did he know she wanted him to check for kits?

"I just know these things okay?" He whispered, and he started to paw at her stomach. He took just a few moments, and he stepped back.

"Hollyleaf, I believe that you are pregnant with kits." He said, and she jumped up in happiness.

"Oh, thank-you StarClan!" She cried, and she ran out of the den. Jayfeather just smiled as she left, and Hazeltail walked back in.

"Mousewhisker!" Hollyleaf called, and she saw him walking in through the camp entrance, fresh-kill in his mouth. He dropped them into the pile, and he ran up to Hollyleaf.

"What is it? Are you okay?" He said his eyes anxious. Hollyleaf nodded,

"Yes, better than okay! Mousewhisker, I'm expecting your kits!" She said, smiling.

Mousewhisker just closed his eyes, and murmured a silent thanks to StarClan. Then he smiled to Hollyleaf.

"That's great Hollyleaf. I can't wai-" He didn't get to finish, because there was a caterwaul from the camp entrance.

Foxfury, who was on guard outside, was on the ground, wrestling with a dark gray cat. They tossed around until Graystripe yelled out,

"Stop!!!!"

He ran down to the bottom of the clearing, and looked at the cat standing in the entrance. Two kits stood behind him, a one brown, and one gray with white flecks. He gasped, and ran up to the cat,

"Stormfur!"

Seven pages. Whoa.

Well, did you guys like? I hope you did! Now, we are going to try this again! Ten reviews at least!!! I'm begging you! Oh, and tell me, are Silverkit, Hawkkit, and Frozenkit good names? Love ya'll!
