Hello! This is not the original writer of this story. This is Cari, or carifoo2001 (look me up if ya want to)! You see, the original writer of this story decided that she doesn't want to continue this story (for reasons that I don't have permission to reveal to the public). Here's what happened at school:
Cari: Hey, are you EVER gonna continue Transformed?
Frost: Nah.
Cari: Oh... ... ... ...I KNOW! GIMME IT! I CAN CONTINUE YOUR LEGACY! ;D
Frost: *rolls eyes* Whatever. *takes bite of banana* It's based off of you, anyway.
Cari: YESSSSS :D
Frost: I'll give you the password to my account, so you can update it.
Cari: YESSS :D *gives notebook/pencil to Frost*
Frost: *writes down password*
Cari: :D *starts to get ideas for story*
Frost: Okay, there are some things I don't want you to exclude, so let me write them down. *writes down things that won't be revealed until chap 7*
Cari: :D Okai~
Frost: *finishes* I'm gonna go sit next to my girlfriend.
Cari: Aww. Okay. But what happened to your boyfriend?
Frost: *ignores and walks away*
So that's what happened XD Now, on to the storeh!
"Featherpaw! Featherpaw! Featherpaw! What are you doing?" I saw Lionpaw bouncing around the black she-cat, Featherpaw. He was totally mooning over her. But, I was still trying to remember her. I couldn't remember her ever being in the books, so why was she here? How could she be here? How could I be here? Nothing made sense anymore.
"Nothing, Lionpaw... why are you so hyper all the time?" Her tone was flat. She was clearly bored.
"I don't know... that's like asking Jaypaw why he's so grumpy all the time!" Lionpaw stopped jumping.
"Well, then why don't you just go ask him?" Featherpaw suggested.
"No!" Lionpaw huffed, going away.
I padded over to Featherpaw. "Hello," I greeted as I sat next to her, curling my tail around my grey paws.
"Hi," she replied, not looking at me.
"You know," I started, trying to spark a conversation, "I once had this friend, and she was just like you. I could almost say I was in love with her, but I'm not sure if that would really work..."
"Oh?" She turned to look at me, apparently interested in what I had to say.
"We were really great friends. But it was still as if we still didn't know everything about each other..." Of course, I couldn't say that we had never ever seen each other in person.
"Hmm... I had a great friend a bit like that, too," she replied. "He was my only friend, but I never told him that. If I had, he would tell me to stop talking to him and go find some friends." We both laughed.
"Your friend and I have a lot in common," I mewed when we stopped laughing.
"Yeah..." her blue eyes became cloudy. "I can't see him anymore..."
"Oh? Was he a kittypet that moved away or something?" I asked, curious.
"It's kind of like that... except I'm the one that went away..." She sighed. "I didn't even go away willingly."
"I went away from my friend, too," I said sadly. "Unwillingly."
"That's really sad," she mewed. "And you were in love with your friend..." My ears heated up at the thought of being in love with Lynwood. But how could I be in love with her? I didn't even know what she looked like, aside from pictures she sent, and the few times we've video chatted. And, we were only twelve and ten years old... me being the latter and her the former, of course.
"Featherpaw! I want you to come with me," Firestar mewed, padding over to Featherpaw and I. I inwardly groaned, wanting to keep talking to this interesting cat. Her eyes widened a bit in surprise, but she followed him.
I sighed, already bored.

For a very long time, I was in my nest in the apprentices' den, just thinking. My mom, my dad, Drew, my friends... Lynwood... none of them will ever see me again. My mom always worried a lot when I went out of the house, but when she found out that I was dead... I don't even know what her reaction would be.
And my dad. He was already weak from a heart attack last August, StarClan knows what happened to him when he found out. Did... did he die as well?
And what about Drew? She was my twin sister! Even though we grew out of being inseparable after she got a cell phone, she would definitely not have been happy about my death...
And finally... Lynwood. Lyn would probably never know what happened to me. One day, I just stopped talking to her, and that's it. She might've thought that I hated her, or was tired of her, or something like that. I could not have contacted her in any way, especially since America was an ocean away, and I was a cat.
When I finally came out of my thoughts, I realized it was late at night and everyone around me was asleep. When I started to fall asleep as well, I saw a cat sneak out. I remembered that I had super-smell powers, since I was a cat, and sniffed the air. It was Lionpaw.
Curious, I sneaked out as well. I followed him, downwind so he couldn't smell me. He went into the dirtplace, also known as the outhouse for cats. He squeezed through a hole, so I counted to ten and followed when I hit ten.
I couldn't see him, so I used my nose to follow him. He'd gone through a bunch of brush to get to where he wanted to go. I still couldn't figure out where he was going... for some reason, with every passing day, my memories of the Warriors series, and life as a twoleg in general, had gotten fuzzier and fuzzier. I couldn't even remember what part in the series the present was.
When I came out of the brush, I couldn't see Lionpaw anywhere. I looked around, seeing no one, then I remembered my nose. I sniffed, and realized that the golden apprentice had gone down the hole. Actually, he had gone down there several times. I could smell his scent overlapping.
I squeezed through the hole, but it wasn't very hard, because Lionpaw's size had made it bigger, and I most certainly wasn't anywhere close to his size.
When the tunnel got bigger, I could move around better. I started to explore, but after a few minutes, I felt really lost. Then, I thankfully caught onto Lionpaw's trail again. The tunnels began to become smaller again, but then it opened to a big cavern, probably big enough for me to stand in if I had been my regular, non-cat, 4'11" self.
Suddenly, I heard giggling. Two cats burst into the cave. It was Lionpaw and a light brown tabby she-cat. ...Heatherpaw, who becomes Heathertail. That's all I could remember about her, though...
"...Lionpaw? Why are you here with a WindClan she-cat?" I asked him.
Lionpaw and Heatherpaw had become extremely stiff, like rocks, when they saw me.
"Is this why you're always tired...? Well, always tired when Featherpaw's not around..." I had a feeling I was forgetting something important...
"S-Skypaw? H-how did you get here?" Lionpaw asked. "Did you follow me?"
I shrugged. "I was curious. You went out of the den, and it was late at night."
Lionpaw and Heatherpaw looked at each other with wide eyes.
"I know what you two are thinking. I'm not gonna tell anyone about this, not even your siblings, Hollypaw, Jaypaw, or your mother, Leafpool."
Lionpaw looked at me incredulously. Of course, he caught my mistake at the end. "Leafpool?"
"Oh, I meant Squirrelflight... Sorry, I get confused sometimes. I've only been here for... a moon? Or two moons? I just get cats mixed up sometimes." I was speaking really fast, amazed at how fast I covered that up. I started to leave.
"So... you're not going to tell Firestar? Or Onestar?" Heatherpaw asked.
"Didn't I say that? If I told someone, you two would be forced to part from one another, and you most definitely would be in trouble. That is not a good solution. If I don't tell anyone, you two can decide for yourselves what's best. Do you want to keep meeting this way, taking time out of your sleep and breaking the warrior code, until you're elders and can't anymore? Do you want to find a way to be together? Or do you think you should just break it off and act like normal cats from different clans?" I disappeared into a tunnel, but immediately came back. They hadn't moved.
"Um... where's the way out?" I asked. Heatherpaw pointed with her tail and gave me directions. I thanked her and was on my way.

The next day, I remembered what I had forgotten the night before. Heatherpaw and Lionpaw met in the tunnels in Dark River, the second book of the "Power of the Three" series. I was pretty sure that no one ever found out about them, so I broke the book. But I guess my entire existence already broke the book. And Featherpaw's. Maybe that was why Lionpaw had a thing for both Featherpaw and Heatherpaw. Featherpaw wasn't supposed to exist, but Lionpaw was supposed to be with Heatherpaw for a time. It said so in the book. But for some reason he had a thing for Featherpaw, too, so the book was broken. It kind of made my head hurt, thinking about it all.
But how? How did I get here, and how did she get here? Everyone but myself and Featherpaw were exactly where they were supposed to be, and we were out of place. In my point of view, we stuck out like sore thumbs.
Which, by the way, I don't have anymore.
I miss my thumbs...
This probably sounds different from the first four chapters... since I'm a different person than Frost. But hopefully not.
Anyway, I of course have this chapter, and the next chapter is like... half-written, and I have chapter 7 fully written and edited. And that's because, when I wrote it, I thought it would be chapter 6, but Frost suggested I write a filler between this chapter and that one, so I'm doing that. Something reallyyy big is gonna be revealed in chapter 7.
