Hey! To all of my awesome readers that are still reading...THANKS! MY GOAL IS TO GET 45 REVEIWS BEFORE I POST CHAPTER 10!

Also, PLEASE read "A Hard Path to Walk" by Jaysong of Thunerclan, and "Rise of the Stars" by Cinderfern! They are both REALLY cool writers and y'all need to read their awesome stories. Also, this chapie is REALLY short for 2 reasons:

a)It's hard to update because I'm in High School, and

b)I've noticed there aren't very many reveiws coming in, so I've decided to slow things down a little until more people reveiw. Enjoy the shortest chapter of my life!XD

Chapter 9

Snowpaw dashed out of camp with Ravenkit and Heatherkit by her side. She couldn't just leave Hawkpaw! The cream colored she-cat also noticed that Whitepaw, Emberpaw, Bronzepaw, Thunderpaw, and even Briarpaw were already waiting in a thick clump of bushes. Snowpaw slid in, and also noticed Ferncloud, Hollowwing and Jaywhisker, and even Funnyheart and Willowheart. Blazeheart spoke,

"We are all here because of a death threat by Rainwhisker. I heard him talking to a rouge, who was named Blood. He was a large muscular tom, and he's a dark brown tabby. I overheard all of his plans; first, he wants to kill me to take over being deputy, which is why we're here. Secondly, he wanted to become leader, and the worst thing he said was, take over the forest."Blazeheart's yellow eyes darkened at the last bit. Snowpaw's fur started to fluff up. Would Hawkpaw be okay?

"Where will we go?"Snowpaw asked in a scared, small voice.

"I don't know,"Blazeheart answered, "But I do know this: we must go far, far, far away from here. And our journy starts now!"He dashed out, quickly followed by the rest of the small clan of cats. Snowpaw's head was aching, trying to come up with a way to say goodbye to Hawkpaw. No, it can't happen! She padded onward. Dead, cold winter leaves crackled underfoot. The sun had just risen, and the sky was pink. White snow glistened from the pine trees, their dark green neetles standing out. They were going toward the opposite edge of their territory, where no clan cat lived. Only rouges and loners live beyond the Forestclan border. Everyone nervously stood at the edge.

"Well, here goes the adventure of a lifetime!"Blazeheart called, before quickly leaping over the border, and dashing away. Ferncloud gingerly stepped over the border, acting as if it were an imaginary line. Whitepaw, Bronzepaw, and Thunderpaw all sprinted over the line, dashing to catch up to Blazeheart, who was the fastest. The kits, Ravenkit and Heatherkit, decided to go and the quickly followed suit of running. Jaywhisker, Hollowwing, and Funnyheart dashed away, into the unknown. Emberpaw and Briarpaw troted over, then quickly broke into a sprint. All who was left was Willowheart and Snowpaw.

"You're scared, huh?"Willowheart asked Snowpaw.

"Yeah. I don't want to leave home. It'll be so weird."she said, gazing out across the snow-covered meadow that lay beyond them. Faint hairless cats, or hairys(humans) dens layed up ahead, their pointed tops far away.

"Well, even though you'll be far away from home, it'll always be in your heart."and with that, Willowheart crossed the border, pelting at full speed to catch up to everyone else. Snowpaw finally struted along, last. She hadn't noticed the yowling up ahead, but she relized with shock what Blazeheart was saying,

"RUN! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!"all the cats were pelting deeper and deeper into the meadow, going faster and faster, and then they plunged into a different forest. Snowpaw didn't have time to look around. She was too busy pelting at her fastest. Finally, after what seemed like ages, they stopped on a slightly hilly moor. The snow had made it all white, and Snowpaw and the others were panting with exustion.

"Did we loose anyone?"Ferncloud asked.

"No. We're all here."Blazeheart replied.

"Hey!"a sharp mew from another cat on the moor jerked their attention toward it."What are you doing on Windclan territory?"

OH SNAP! THE REAL CLANS ARE HEREREREREREREREREREREREREEERERE! Yeah! Remember, I just gotta get 6 more reveiws from different people until i post chapter 10! WOO! Also, this takes place a little while after Firestar died, and so Bramblestar leads, Onestar and Blackstar are also dead. Cuz they should be! YEAH! WOOz! Well, thanks again to Jaysong of Thunderclan, and Cinderfern, for their kind and awesome reveiws! GO DUCKS!*ALSO, THE LAKE TERRITORYS MIGHT BE ALTERED A LITTLE BIT!*
