Cinderstar: Oh good! Snowstar is still on Chapter 12 so I can have a few moments of peace...

Author: Sure, Cinderstar, sure. Anyway, I don't own Warriors or the clans or the lake, just all the OC's but Tornkit and Flyingkit. Thanks for the cats!

Snowstar: I'm here! What did I miss? Wait, I do the honors. We don't own Warriors-

Cinderstar: We already did those, mouse-brain!

Author: Um...I'm just going to go on to Chapter 13...

Amberpaw's POV

After an hour Amberpaw was fed up.

They all had different plans of cutting through the brambles. Firepaw had straight-on tackled it, but ended up with scratched paws. Hoppaw tried to pull it down but got a bunch of thorns embedded in him. Gracepaw was looking for spots they missed but had so far found no luck. Jumppaw was digging a tunnel. Lilypaw wasn't doing anything.

That just left Amberpaw.

"You guys, nothing we do is going to work!" she growled after Firepaw fell down yet again from tackling it. "I mean, there is a way but only warriors could do it!"

Everyone looked at her. "What is it?" Lilypaw asked eagerly.

"I-um, well, if we push it up, then fold them over. We would just have to climb our way out."

"Wow, Amberpaw! That's perfect!" Firepaw launched himself up and pushed at the brambles. As he did, one of his claws ripped into it and tore a small hole on the edge.

"Whoa..." Lilypaw gasped. Amberpaw did the same as Firepaw, making a slightly bigger hole. By another hour, Jumppaw had dug a fox-length tunnel, and the rest of the sibblings had created a large gap in the brambles.

"Give up, Jumppaw!" Amberpaw meowed to her brother.

"...fine..." Jumppaw grumbled, and he started to help with the brambles.

Then Amberpaw thought of something else. "Wait- Lilypaw, Firepaw- you two, make the tunnel slope up. We want it to seem like we escaped that way.

"Why?" Lilypaw asked.

"So they don't reniforce the brambles next time," Amberpaw replied. She jumped up again and- rip! She made a big enough hole for the apprentices to climb through. There was just one last problem.

"um, none of us can get that high." Firepaw stated the obvious.

"Of course not mouse-brain!" Amberpaw hissed. "Now I see it!"

Hoppaw sat down. "I really thought we would escape for a second...and if we can't get through there that means that the tunnel idea wont work either..."

Lilypaw came out from the tunnel and started to cry. "I want to go home, not be a Windclan warrior!"

Amberpaw frowned. "I know... me too."

Gracepaw looked up and exclaimed, "What's that?"

Amberpaw glanced up to see what her sister was talking about, and shrieked in surprise. She saw a dark shadow on the top of the brambles. "He-hello?" Amberpaw stuttered. She knew the Windclan patrols couldn't be back but at the same time...

"Don't worry! It's me!" Amberpaw froze.

"Rockpaw? From the Gathering?" Gracepaw yowled. "Please help us! But how did you know we were here?"

"I heard a shout while hunting last night, so I told my mentor and we told Bluestar. She wasn't sure at first and Gorgepaw-sorry, Gorgebreeze, thought Windclan was just pulling a trick, but in the end, Bluestar sent a patrol." Rockpaw explained. "Now, let me pull you through."

Firepaw went first, and helped Rockpaw pull up cats. Then Hoppaw. Then Lilypaw. Jumppaw. Gracepaw. Finally, it was Amberpaw's turn and she saw Windclan camp, with her siblings, Rockpaw, and- Riverclan warriors!

"Thank you so much!" Amberpaw exclaimed. "I thought we would die in there!"

One warrior, Skyleap, dipped her head. "It's the least we could do for the Clan that gave us a medicine cat."

"Thanks!" Gracepaw told Rockpaw. "No problem." Amberpaw heard Rockpaw reply.

"Okay, we'll go back to Thunderclan now." Firepaw mewed. But Skyleap shook her head. "Without us? Windclan could easily capture you six again, or at least one or two of you. Your half-asleep and hungry."

"Okay..." Amberpaw trailed off.

The sleek Riverclan she-cat led the way out, with two warriors, Rockpaw, and another apprentice flanking Amberpaw and her litter mates. They ran out and was close to the border when they saw a Windclan border patrol- Graystreak, Icepaw, and Sunear.

"Quick! In the gorse bush over there!" Skyleap hissed, and everyone obeyed.

"Now, when I say go, Thunderclan will run across the border. After all of them go Riverclan will then go and help fight if we have to. "Okay?" Skyleap ordered. Everyone nodded.

"Okay...one...two, and...three!"Gracepaw ran much faster, until she was almost twice as far as the rest of her siblings. "She's fast!" Amberpaw gasped as she ran.

The Windclan patrol spotted them right away, and started racing to them. "Stop them!" Graystreak howled. Looking behind, Amberpaw saw Riverclan veering to Windclan and battle them. It seemed like an easy fight, and soon Sunear and Icepaw were trapped in a circle while Skyleap and Graystreak battled. Rockpaw broke away from the fight, yowling, "I'll take care of these!" and running to Amberpaw's litter mates and her.

Finally, Amberpaw and Hoppaw crossed the border with Rockpaw and saw Firepaw, Lilypaw, and Jumppaw right up ahead. Next to them was a panting Gracepaw.

"Wow! I've never seen you run so fast!" Firepaw meowed to Gracepaw.

"Yeah, I-i was scared," Gracepaw wheezed.

Amberpaw dipped her head to Rockpaw. "Thanks for rescuing us, but we can go back to camp now."

"No, I need to escort you guys to camp. Sorry..." Rockpaw replied. "Skyleap told me I had to."

"Oh- okay."

The seven apprentices continued on the trail, Hoppaw and Firepaw chatting, Jumppaw and Lilypaw, and Rockpaw and Gracepaw. Amberpaw took the lead, veering through a short cut. Suddenly, some bushes rustled behind them and Skyleap and her patrol emerged.

"We are here," Skyleap puffed. She too seemed tired.

"Okay. Um, we are about to be by camp now."Firepaw told her. Skyleap dipped her head.

"Good. We will report to Yellowstar of why we are on his territory and then head back."

When they entered camp, they saw the leader of Thunderclan pacing the clearing, tail lashing. Raventooth and Brighttail had their heads bowed. Looking up, Brighttail spotted Amberpaw and her liter mates.

"Amberpaw! Lilypaw! Gracepaw! Firepaw! Hoppaw! Jumppaw!" Brighttail yowled. "Your alive!"

Yellowstar stared at the apprentices in shock, and watched as Riverclan also entered. "We rescued them," Skyleap explained. "Rockpaw heard them while solo hunting last night."

"T-thank you for bringing them back. How may we repay you, Skyleap?" Yellowstar stuttered.

"Not at all. You see, this is part of the repayment from us for giving a medicine cat- Gorgebreeze." Skyleap mewed formally. "We will be leaving now."

The Riverclan cats waved their tails and left the Thunderclan camp, Brighttail and Raventooth still circling around their kits.

"Wait- we have news to share with Yellowstar about Windclan's plans!" Amberpaw remembered.

Yellowstar raised his eye brows. "Like what?"

Amberpaw glanced at Raventooth. "Um, can we speak in private? The seven of us?"

The leader nodded. "Of course. Come to my den."

Short chapter but I couldn't think of any other way to end it. Sooooo... sorry?
