... oops.
*gets pelted with tomatoes*
Wut the fuji
just realized that this story is literally on its sixth chapter, and Amnesia is on its 19th, and Destiny is nearly as popular as Amnesia! TYSM
Snowcrystal Of ThunderClan: Grammar police, huh? ;)
Guest: Aww, you're too sweet :)
And That Serious Tom In StarClan's PM: Y-you want fluff? (straightens shirt collar nervously) Between Jadepaw and Sootfur? See, the thing is I don't think they'll want to do that quite ye-
Jade: Holy hell no! Why don't you go make some fluffies with someone else?!
Soot: Yeah, I'm going to have to agree with Jadepaw on this. I understand I am fluffy material (since im so hot obv ovo) but Jadepaw is my apprentice, sooooo...
Jadepaw: Da-fu? You're so not fluffy material! You're more like a piece of sh-
Amy: O-ok! Stop it, guys! I'm not gonna force you into anything!...
... yet...
Apologies on late update! You know I don't work well with schedules T_T
Let's get on with the well-deserved update!
"No talk time?" I whispered. "I thought-"
"-that usually leaders allow us their Clanmates to mingle and chat first? Yeah," Brambleclaw murmured back. "That's how it usually is... it must be important"
"Shhh!" hissed a fish-smelling gray she-cat next to us.
I blew a raspberry at her, then turned to the leaders. ShadowClan's leader, Blackstar, was finishing up speaking. "... the marshes have partially dried up due to the heat of green-leaf. Other than that, we have nothing to report." He nodded to Firestar.
"Thank you, Blackstar," Firestar meowed, clearing his throat. "ThunderClan is well- one of our apprentices, Sorrelpaw, was named Sorreltail." Cheers came from all Clans- it was apparent a lot of cats knew her. "Green-leaf has also taken a toll on ThunderClan, but that is nothing new. Also..." Firestar paused, preparing himself."ThunderClan has taken in a kittypet, Sexy, and made her an apprentice a half-moon ago, Jadepaw."
Murmurs rose up from the crowd, especially from ShadowClan. I raised my head proudly, ignoring all the comments I heard.
"Jadepaw? What kind of name is that?"
"Another kittypet? What is ThunderClan, KittypetClan?"
"StarClan, look at her…"
Look at her.
A memory flashed in my head. I chased the thought away. Not now, I thought. Not here.
Firestar raised his tail for silence, eyes blazing. When the noise level died down, he opened his mouth to speak, and was rudely interrupted by Blackstar.
"Firestar, I'm not one to judge," Blackstar mewed silkily, clearing judging. "but I believe ThunderClan has taken one too many kittypets. First you, then Lilyseed, and then now… her." He spat out the word "her" as if it were poison. "Has the departure of Lilyseed told you nothing?"
"Blackstar," Firestar hissed, so viciously a few Clan cats gasped. "Don't speak that way about Lilyseed ever, not to me or anyone else." His tail lashed, and his claws slid into view.
"Oh, Alexis," I snickered, looking at Firestar. "I didn't know you made friends here. Especially the great ol' leader himself."
Brambleclaw shot me a nervous look. "I've never seen Firestar so worked up before," he whispered, his body tense.
How did I exactly know his body was tense?
Wait, you're not suggesting I was LOOKING at him, because I wasn't… I'm just describing h- UGH! DON'T MAKE ME EXPLAIN IT'S TOO COMPLICATED I JUST KNOW OKAY ?
Okay. Deep breaths, Jaden.
"Me either," I replied. "Do ya think he's gonna attack and break the truce?"
"Lilyseed had her reasons for leaving, I'm sure," Firestar growled before Brambleclaw could reply. "As for accepting another kittypet, why should you care? It is ThunderClan's business and will stay ThunderClan business." His eyes shifted toward me for a split second. I looked away as fast as I could.
What happened with Alexis was here?
Blackstar snarled. "Be careful who you pick your enemies with, Firestar."
At this, Firestar seemed to deflate, and he looked at Blackstar wearily. "We are all enemies, Blackstar, with only the light of StarClan keeping us from tearing each other apart," Firestar responded tiredly. He turned to Leopardstar. "I'm done."

"Why are we looking for Taiwan Pee again?"
"It's Tawnypelt, get it right-"
"Nahhh, dude, Taiwan Pee's obviously right. And it's a lit-o name." Don't ask what "lit-o" means.
Brambleclaw sighed, muttering something under his breath. The Gathering was over, but we were tagging behind. "We're going to see her because I want to see my sister. You don't have to come-"
"Oh yes I do," I replied fiercely. Then, jokingly, I added, "Besides, if I didn't, I wouldn't make a very good stalker, now would I?"
"What's a stalker"
"You don't know what a stalker is? Who raised you?"
"Well, actually, that's a sore sub- ah, Tawnypelt!" He bounded off, leaving me to follow him or now. I quickly dashed after him.
"Dude, running off like that ain't going to get rid of me," muttered. When I finally reached Brambleclaw, he was waiting for me, along with a well muscled she-cat.
"And here's the kittypet we took in- Jadepaw. Jadepaw, this-" Brambleclaw explained.
"Taiwa- Tawnypelt," I amended hastily. "Good to meet you. Now that that's that," I said, my eyes flashing with edgy amusement. (THREE thats in a row!!!) "I have a question for you."
I must've looked pretty scary, because Brambleclaw wove in between me and Tawnypelt- not even gonna bother, just correct me inside your head- and meowed, "Jadepaw, what are you doing?"
I had to believe I was right. There was NO way Brambleclaw just "wanted" to visit his sister. There was NO way. Erin Hunter wouldn't do that; I'd read an entire series of her/their writing, so I knew their types of cliffhangers.
"Tawnypelt, did you have a dream a few nights ago? One that seemed… oh, I don't know… weird?" I asked. "Perhaps one sent by your old leader… em…" Come to think of it, who was ShadowClan's old leader? "... That night dude! Nightstar! Yeah, him. You had a dream about Nightstar telling you that there was trouble coming to the forest, a new prophecy being "foretold in the stars" and that kinda crap, and meeting with some cats at midnight on the new moon. Does that seem about right?"
I waited. Brambleclaw shot me a look of disbelief and fury, probably because I told Tawnypelt the entire dream. If I was wrong, he'd never let me forget. "Jadepaw, you just told her-"
"Something she already knows," I snapped. I turned back to Tawnypelt. "Well?"
Her mouth was agape. "How did you know?" She managed to say at last.
Bramble whirled towards me in shock. I gave him a smug smile, although in truth I was just as surprised. I mean, me. Jaden. Right. That was about as likely as Donald Trump accepting Mexican immigrants into America. And here I was, correct.
"So what do we do about it?" Taiwan Pee asked, breaking up my thoughts. "I assumed that the other cats were from ShadowClan, but if there's two of you, what do we do now that we know?"
"We do as the dreams have told us- meet with the other cats, Brambleclaw said. "What's weird, though- ThunderClan has two dream cats, and ShadowClan and the other Clans only have one…"
"You don't know that-" Taiwan Pee began.
"He doesn't."
They both turned to look at me.
"But I do." I raised my chin. "Stop acting like children! If anything, I should be acting like a child. And for the record, I do know that there is one for ShadowClan, WindClan, and River, and two for us. Trust me."
"But how do you know all this?" Tawnypelt asked.
"I just do." I read a chapter and half about you and have heard enough spoilers floating around from the bookworms to know. Doesn't take a genius to figure out.
Brambleclaw! Jadepaw!" It was Firestar's voice.
"We'd better go," Brambleclaw mewed apologetically. "See you at midnight at new-moon?"
Tawnypelt nodded. "You bet." With a quick nod, we went our separate ways.
"Jadepaw!"
I recognized the voice immediately; I groaned.
"Jadepaw, you do realize," Soot began furiously, catching up to me. "that if I hadn't noticed your absence, we would've-"
"Oh, sure, get mad at me and not your homie Brambleclaw," I cut in, glancing around. Where was Brambleclaw? Did he just disappear?
Then I noticed him chatting- or arguing- it up with my homie Squirrelflight,
Gee, I mean, don't look at me, but they were ALWAYS together, always arguing and doing stuff together, despite being "enemies".
Yeah, sure, "enemies" my butt. I betcha ten bucks they'll become a couple! I ship it! #Squirrelclaw forever!
God, that's cringey…
"...apprentice, he's a warrior," Sootfur was saying.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever you say, Mom," I replied, rolling my eyes.

Now you may or may not be wondering; what happened to Ravenwing? Wasn't there a message to be delivered? You had an ENTIRE half a month and you never told him? Or did you now just remember?
Believe me, I tried. Multiple times. I had tried again the night we were about to leave for the meeting.
"Ravenwing!" I hurried over to where he was; hanging out with Sandstorm and Graystripe. Sandstorm turned to me. "Yes, Jadepaw?"
"Uh, I need to borrow Ravenwing for a moment- do you mind?" I asked, turning to him.
We walked away from them. "So what is it you needed-" he began.
"Ravenwing! I don't understand!" I bursted out, my eyes blazing a furious green. "I've tried over and over, countless of times to TELL you what Ale- Lilyseed wanted to tell you! Please at least let me!"
Ravenwing's eyes immediately grew dark. "I don't want to hear it," he growled. "If she wanted me to hear it, she should be here, explaining it to me-"
"Dude, she literally can't!" I shot back, struggling to explain why without really telling him, well, why. "That's why she sent me!"
"Then why?" he challenged me. "Why can't she? And why did she leave?"
"She didn't have a choice! She was forced to leave, dammit! Why can't you understand? She had to leave because she had to!"
"S...So she was taken?" Ravenwing's eyes were huge. "Did someone take her? She is okay?"
I sighed. It was better if he believed that. "She's fine- she's with her parents right now. She wants to come back, but she can't. Her parents won't let her." I sighed, exhausted. "Now will you let me tell you what she said?"
Ravenwing stared at me for a couple of seconds. "What?" he asked, finally.
"She said, "if you see Ravenwing, tell him…"
I glanced up at him.
"...tell him I'll always be with him."
Ravenwing sucked in a painful breath.
"And I knew she meant it," I added. "I could see it in her eyes- and the way she gripped me when I didn't reply if I was or wasn't going to."
He looked at me. "Thanks for telling me, Jadepaw."
I huffed. "Well, thanks for actually listening, I guess."
We left then, since night was falling. I went into the apprentice's den and waited patiently until midnight. Then I got up and silently slipped out. Brambleclaw was waiting for me.
We left the forest together quietly and as quickly as possible.
Little did we know…
… We were being followed.
Finally X3 it's been updated.
