Okay, I have many things to say,

One: If you have ever reviewed in the past, I really hope to get a review every time. If I could get more people to read it…*sigh* that would be FREAKIN' AWSOME!

Two: Jaggedwing, you have inspired me to no end. Your cat name has giving me a new idea, so I threw out all my past ideas, and at school, I discovered a new idea for my story! It's so much better than anything I have ever planned!

Three: I will be using one of the other names you peeps came up with, but not for my first purpose. It will be for a lesser part, but still, very important.

Four: I'm at a lost, for Toadpaw's warrior name, do you have any ideas? I can't think of anything that sounds good except Toadfoot, but there already is one of those! Thanks! Oh, and I thought about Toadslash, doest that sound pretty good? Give me your ideas!

Okay, here is the winner of the new cat contest- Hawkeh! Good job!

Love ya, here's my new chapter- Blind

Jayfeather stood by the WindClan border, by the top of the river. The rain poured down relentlessly, as it had for the past day. It showed no sign of stopping, so Jayfeather stopped hoping for it to end. He waited for Barkface, and his apprentice, Kestrelpaw.

Jayfeather recollected what had happened over the last few hours. He had spent a good amount of time with Hazeltail, but also out getting herbs. He had realized that they were getting low, so he went to collect them, with the help of Hazeltail. Lionblaze had been ordered to stay in camp all day, so he told Toadpaw to go out and catch prey all day. The apprentice had not been hurt because he ran fast enough that the dogs didn't catch him. His mother, Daisy, was worried sick when she heard what had happened. She insisted that he rested that day, but he wouldn't have that.

A familiar scent washed over Jayfeather. He turned to Kestrelpaw, who was walking up with Willowshine and Mothwing.

"Kestrelepaw, where is Barkface?" Jayfeather asked, not smelling his scent, "Is he okay?"

Kestrelpaw's body let off feelings of sadness and despair as he spoke, "No. He died from old age. He gave me my full name on his death bed. I am now Kestrelthroat, WindClan's medicine cat."

Jayfeather dipped his head in respect, "That is wonderful Kestrelthroat. But we will mourn for Barkface."

"Where is Leafpool?" Willowshine asked, looking for the she-cat. Jayfeather sighed,

"Her punishment for having kits was to become a warrior. I too am coming to the moon pool as the full medicine cat."

Littlecloud, who had walked in on the group of cats as Kestrelthroat announced Barkface's death, was shocked,

"Why would Firestar do that? It is obvious that she was meant to be a medicine cat. She can't be a warrior. That's just…wrong…" Jayfeather nodded,

"It is very weird having Crowfeather in our Clan, and Leafpool as a warrior, but we are thriving. But I must warn you all, there is a pack of five dogs wandering around here. They attacked a group of warriors and their apprentices. We found Nightcloud on our territory, mauled by the dogs."

Kestrelthroat gasped, "We've been looking for her for the past two days. We thought she might have left because she couldn't stand being without Crowfeather, but apparently the dogs took her. You will have to show me where she is, and I'll take her home." Kestrelthroat may be a medicine cat, but his muscles were strong under his fur. He could get her back to his camp.

Mothwing cleared her throat, "If we want to get to the Moon Pool tonight…" Littlecloud jumped up from where he was sitting,

"Why yes, of course. Let's go now." He led the way up the trail, and the other cats followed in unison. Willowshine came up behind Jayfeather and she poked him with her nose,

"Jayfeather, there's something I need to ask you,"

"Sure," He said, at ease with the she-cat he had once disliked. Being with Hazeltail made him more affectionate, "What is it?"

"Blackclaw scented that Stormfur had come through our territory, and that he went pass WindClan's. Is it true? Did Stormfur come back?"

Jayfeather was hesitant with his answer, "Well…yes he has come back. And…with his two kits…but don't tell your Clan. Let Firestar take care of that the next gathering. It will be easier if he does it."

"Yes, of course…but I don't think my…leader will care…"

"Why do you say that?" Jayfeather asked. They were nearing the Moon Pool, and he would have to end the conversation,

"Well, you see…Leopardstar died," She said quickly, "There was a break out of fevers. It took out a warrior, two apprentices, a kit, all the elders, and…Leopardstar. Mistyfoot is going to the Moon Pool tomorrow with Mothwing and me."

"Hmm…I won't tell anyone if you don't tell anyone." Jayfeather said, sounding childish. It seemed weird, but it worked.

"Alright," Willowshine giggled, "Promise." She touched her tail on Jayfeather's back, and he felt a shock run down his spine. Her touch was light, but there was a reason behind it, Jayfeather was sure. A strange feeling, a mixed one, was coming off of Willowshine. Though she seemed to be holding it back, as if she wasn't sure about what she was feeling.

The cats gathered around the Moon Pool, and they all lay down, preparing to be swept by StarClan. The darkness came quickly for Jayfeather, and he knew he was in for a long night.

When he saw the starry cats, they were not facing him. They were facing four cats, one black, brown, silver, and a burning orange. They were not familiar to Jayfeather, so he stayed crouched in the bushes behind them, watching as they spoke,

"Are you sure you are all up for this task?" It was Bluestar who spoke, her voice thick with worry, "We could find some others-"

"Bluestar," The orange one with large white paws spoke, "I have been through more than you can imagine. We all have, after all we were the fir-"

"Yes, yes, we all know that," Yellowfang snapped, "But can you keep your focus?"

The dark shadowed one spoke now, "Do not question wither or not we can. Because of me there was a Cla-"

It was Tallstar who stood up next, "Stop it now. I believe there is a cat among us who does not belong. Jayfeather, please come out here," All the cats turned to Jayfeather, who slowly came out of the trees. His kept his eyes down, but he heard Bluestar tell the four unknown cats to leave, that they would discuss later.

"Jayfeather," Spottedleaf said softly, "Why were you hiding?"

"I-I-I wanted to know who those cats were. I've never seen them. What is their mission?" Jayfeather stuttered. Being caught by the StarClan cats frightened him. Even though he could see in these dreams, he felt so blind when they didn't tell him anything.

"That is not for you to know now," Bluestar said briskly, "But you may find out later. I believe that those of you who need to talk to the medicine cats, I would not leave them in the dark any longer,"

Tallstar, Runningnose, Barkface, and Leopardstar nodded, walking into the forest, disappearing. Only Bluestar, Spottedleaf, Yellowfang, and Lionheart stood in front of him, he kept his eyes down.

"Look up, and be not ashamed," Lionheart said, "I know a certain leader that did worse than listen in on conversations."

Jayfeather knew that he was talking about Firestar, and he raised his head. The cats were staring at him, but not in a hostile way.

Bluestar spoke first, "Jayfeather, I know we have spoken to you about Hazeltail, so we will talk about that later. Your Clan has greater needs. Do not underestimate those dogs. They come from a certain cutter place, where strange tests have been done to them. They are stronger, faster, and smarter than normal dogs. They will find others, not like them, but others to help them."

Yellowfang nodded at what Bluestar said, and she spoke next, "Jayfeather, I'm sorry to say you have been misled. We didn't send you that first dream, the one with the lion. That was not our doing."

Jayfeather stood in shock. Who could send dreams beside StarClan?

"We wonder how it happened and who did it, but until then, we have something else you must know," Spottedleaf said, "There are hard times ahead. Everything that happens will not make sense. Sometimes, you will not even get what is happening. But everything happens for a reason, remember that. Have hope; do not be blind to everything around you. Familiar faces will show themselves to be what you don't expect them to be. Watch your back, and look after those you love and care about."

Bluestar cleared her throat, "Speaking of those you love, there is a small problem with Hazeltail and you. We cannot take away the kits that she is pregnant with. But you will have to live with not getting to be a father to them, and they will have to grow without a father figure. Try thinking about that for awhile Jayfeather, remember who you are." (Anyone thinking Lion King?)

Jayfeather sat down where he was. This was a lot to take in. There was the dog pack, there was Hazeltail, the false prophecy, and to make it worse, he couldn't see any of it. His world of darkness would return once he left the dream world. He sometimes wished he didn't have to leave; he could just stay here, be in the ever peaceful forest, and see for the rest of his life, (a.n. btw, I found it somewhat nice to listen to Permanent by David cook while you listen to this part. I don't know why, but it sounds pretty fitting.)

"Why did I have to be born blind?" He whispered to himself. He didn't think any of the starry cats heard him, but he heard one of them shift uncomfortably. He looked up to see Bluestar moving, but she ceased as soon as he looked up.

Jayfeather felt many different feelings coming off of the blueish gray cat. She was upset, guilty, and felt untrustworthy. Jayfeather saw flashes in his head of what she was thinking. A dark, cold snowy forest. She was walking through the trees, scenting for her target. She was scared, but she knew her mission. She found what she was looking for. There were three little kits on the ground in a hollow tree. Their mother was out, hunting. She left for moments, and that was all the time Bluestar needed. She went up to the little gray kit, which looked just like his father. She put her nose down onto the little kit, and used the power put upon her to do her job, and his head popped up. He blinked his little eyes for the first time, and he saw nothing. Bluestar's job was done.

Jayfeather gasped. Bluestar had made him blind? How could she do that to him?

"You…you…" He said, his breathes coming in shallow rasps, "Did…this…t-to…me?" Bluestar lowered her head, ashamed of what she had done,

"It had to happen little one," She whispered, "I'm sorry, but…sometimes to really see, you have to blind."

"Mouse dung to that!" He spat, "I'm blind because of you! I can't see the love of my life because of you! I fell off the top of the camp because you made me blind. How can I trust you now?" He said, mostly to himself. Lionheart came up to him, and he rested his tail on his shoulder. Jayfeather tried to shake it off, but Lionheart kept it there,

"Jayfeather, look at me," Jayfeather raised his eyes to meet the great cat's amber ones, "You must understand, we didn't want to do this to you. We didn't even give you your powers. We do not control that. We are in charge of helping our past clans, and lead them in the right way."

Jayfeather stepped back, looking at the cats who betrayed him. His eyes were feeling a bit wet, (a.n. I don't know if cats can cry, so we'll just say his eyes get a little wet.), and he backed off slowly, into the trees,

"I won't stop believing in you," He said quietly, "But I will not trust you. You may tell my advice, but I can't trust you anymore. Every time I wake, and still see darkness, I will think of you. I hope your happy." He finished his little speech, and he turned and ran into the trees, everything getting dark. He knew he wanted to get out of his own dream, so he used his power to go over to Kestrelthroat's dream.

The brown cat was sitting, listening to Barkface and Tallstar. They were uttering words of advice to him, so Jayfeather left. He didn't care for WindClan's troubles at the moment.

He skipped over to Willowshine's dream, and saw her talking with Leopardstar. She was arguing with her, and Jayfeather strained his ears to listen,

"…can't love him!"

"Why not?!" Willowshine growled, clearly not happy. Jayfeather wondered who they were talking about until he heard his name mentioned,

"You cannot love Jayfeather! He is from another clan, he is a medicine cat, you are a medicine cat, and he's already having-" Leopardstar stopped when she realized that she had said too much.

"He's what?" Willowshine said, her voice a deadly whisper, daring her to say more. Leopardstar straightened up, and looked down at the little medicine cat,

"You will not speak to me like that. Ever. I didn't say anything that you need to know. You may not love him."

"Who are you to tell me what to do? Mistyfoot will be our leader tomorrow, and she won't know!" Leopardstar's eyes flashed,

"What makes you think that I won't tell her?" She said, her eyes daring Willowshine to oppose.

"Because, I know you," She smiled, "You won't do that. Know that you know that Mothwing doesn't believe in StarClan, I'm your only link. You wouldn't tell her to get rid of me, and I'd even like her to see if she can."

Leopardstar sighed, and narrowed her eyes. It was a look that Willowshine was used to seeing, since she didn't cower away,

"Fine," Leopardstar snapped, "Be like that. But I'm telling you this know, you will have your heart broken if you chase after dreams that cannot be caught."

Jayfeather sank back into the reeds that were surrounding the two cats. Willowshine loved him? But he loved Hazeltail…it didn't matter. They didn't share borders, and the only time they see each other is at Gatherings. He didn't have to worry.

He felt himself start to wake, and he gave into the sleepy feeling. He woke, and all he saw was darkness,

Thank you StarClan, he muttered in his head, Thank you so much.

All the other cats started to wake as Jayfeather sat and listened to the sounds of the forest. He let his mind wander around, mostly landing on Hazeltail. When he thought of her he didn't feel so…alone. He felt whole around her, like he wasn't in a world of darkness. It was a world of light and love. He was happy with her, and could not imagine a world without her anymore.

Willowshine was the first to wake up. She looked at Jayfeather, expecting him to still be asleep. When she saw him looking at her, she turned her eyes down, not meeting his gaze. Littlecloud woke next, his posture worried. Kestrelthroat, then Mothwing woke. When all were ready to go, they departed from the Moon Pool. Jayfeather led the way, and no one questioned him. He knew the way just as well as any other cat, and he didn't fall or trip the whole time.

When they got to the point where they separated, Kestrelthroat went with Jayfeather to get Nightcloud. When he saw the mangled she-cat, he gasped. Jayfeather couldn't see the cat, but he heard she was bad.

Kestrelthroat swallowed his horror and he picked up the she-cat. He passed Jayfeather, who heard him lay down Nightcloud,

"Thank-you Jayfeather," He said, "This does mean a lot to my clan. And I am sorry about the attack. I don't even know the reason behind it. Heathertail went into Onestar's den, and they came out, and declared that we would attack later. It happened so quickly that I didn't get to have a say." And with that, he nodded, and picked up Nightcloud, heading back to his territory. Jayfeather turned around, and headed back to camp.

When he arrived, he saw Hazeltail asleep in his den, and he joined her, inhaling her sweet scent.

Hollyleaf sighed happily. The sun never showed its face, but the rain had stopped around moon-high. She was on guard, sitting outside the camp. She stared out into the darkness, imagining what would be out there. All the prey would be asleep in their burrows, and all was still. She wished that Jayfeather would come home quickly from the Moon Pool and tell her what he saw.

She heard something move, but it was behind her. She turned to see Thornclaw coming out of the warriors' den, and he turned to see her. His golden brown fur glowed in the moonlight, and his blue eyes shined. (a.n. I gave him blue eyes, it suits him) Hollyleaf didn't take much notice to him though, and she turned back to her post.

But when she felt a touch on her shoulder, and she smelled Thornclaw behind her, she stood up and turned. He didn't take a step back, and the two were uncomfortably close.

"Hi Thornclaw," Hollyleaf said awkwardly, "What are you doing up so late?"

He shrugged his shoulders, "I thought you might be lonely or tired, so I came out. I haven't been able to sleep either, too worried."

"About what?" Hollyleaf said, trying to get out of the position she was in, she stepped back, but Thornclaw moved with her,

"Well…I've just got a lot on my plate. Being deputy and such…Firestar and I are very busy now days. And I've been thinking about…well I can't say." He was hiding something from Hollyleaf, and her natural curiosity burned within her,

"What? You can trust me." She said, and Thornclaw's big blue eyes softened to an even deeper glowing midnight color,

"Well…ever since I'd first seen her, I haven't been able to look away. She is perfect in everyway, but she might think I'm too old."

"Who is it?" Hollyleaf pressed, her eyes widening. Thornclaw's whole body shook when she did so, and he closed his eyes, opening and closing his mouth without words coming out. Hollyleaf got closer to see if he was okay.

But when she got close, Thornclaw's head shot up. His eyes were a fraction of a mouse-length away from hers. He opened his mouth to speak, but he didn't get a chance to say anything. He practically jumped back and made a low snarling sound. Hollyleaf stumbled back in shock, and she fell onto her back. Thornclaw just looked at her with a pain in his eyes that Hollyleaf didn't understand.

"This is wrong," He whispered, mostly to himself, "Just…oh forget it." He didn't return to the warrior den however, but out into the forest. He walked with out saying a word to Hollyleaf, leaving her confused.

What was that all about? Why was he acting so weird? Hollyleaf had noticed that he had been acting strange around her lately. She went up to get a piece of fresh-kill that morning, right when Thornclaw was. He had just frozen, as if he was made of ice. As soon as I had turned my back, he moved again. And later, when he had to put a patrol together, Hollyleaf offered, and he just stared at her. He finally said yes for her to go, but he looked at her strangely.

Indeed, Hollyleaf was very confused.

But she just went back to her post, and she sat there, waiting for Jayfeather. Eventually he did arrive, but his eyes looked troubled.

"What is it?" Hollyleaf whispered, "Did something go wrong?"

Jayfeather shrugged, "Well, Barkface died, and Kestrelpaw is now Kestrelthroat," Hollyleaf couldn't tell what was making Jayfeather upset until he muttered the words that broke his trust in StarClan,

"And Bluestar is the reason I'm blind. She came down when we were a few days old, and she blinded me. She said that I would have to be blind to really see." Hollyleaf's eyes shone with pity. Her brother, whom she had looked up to many times, was in so much grief. She still felt bad about what she had done to her brother that day when she tried to take his mind, causing him so much pain. Could that have only been yesterday?

"Jayfeather," She whispered sympathetically, "I'm so sorry. But sitting there feeling bad about it won't get us any closer to fulfilling that propch-"

"Another lie," Jayfeather said, but he raised his head, which he had dropped as if in defeat, "They didn't send it to me, but they don't know who did. But I'll tell you one thing, and its that I don't trust StarClan, or any other starred cat." He gave her a nod in remorse, and he padded up to his den, where Hollyleaf could catch a small scent of Hazeltail.

Hollyleaf had changed her thoughts about the two when she went inside Jayfeather's head. It wasn't just pain he was feeling, but an unimaginable amount of love for the she-cat. Almost more than she felt for Mousewhisker. It was his utter willingness to sacrifice himself to what Hollyleaf was planning to that made Hollyleaf respect his so much now. Would she be willing to give her self up for Mousewhisker's well being? Somewhere in her mind she knew she would.

A familiar smell fell over Hollyleaf as she turned to see Mousewhisker behind her, his large brown eyes looking deep into hers, much like Thornclaw had.

"Hey there," She said, purring, "What are you doing here?"

Mousewhisker didn't answer, but he put his face up really close to Hollyleaf's ear, his breath tickling her ear,

"Your brother can't be trusted. Don't trust Lionblaze."

Hey ya'll! Yo, I like love the reviews!
