Gracepaw's POV

Two days from the morning we rescued you. That was what Rockpaw told her before slipping away through the thorn tunnel. Same place. Midnight.

Gracepaw was giddy(um, yes, giddy?) at the thought of seeing Rockpaw. And even though it was later rather than sooner, at least she got to see him. He's my best friend, after all.

Finally, it was that time.

Firepaw and Lilypaw fell asleep, and Gracepaw crept out of camp. She remembered last time, when Windclan had came. This made the apprentice scared, so she climbed a tree.

Hopping from tree to tree. That was how she reached the shores without being caught by any warriors prowling through the forest! Yellowstar had ordered guards to patrol at night, which was making it harder to go to Rockpaw. But Gracepaw only saw one warrior- Mudwing- and he didn't even look up.

When she reached the shores Gracepaw easily swam to the island where she saw Rockpaw waiting for her in the same place as usaul. "Didn't get caught by Windclan this time? I'm surprised!" Rockpaw teased when she emerged into the clearing.

"No, they were too slow to catch me!" Gracepaw shot back.

Rockpaw laughed. "Really? Well, they could never catch me!" and Gracepaw rolled her eyes. "Everyone knows Riverclan is too slow to even catch a dying mouse!"

Her friend quickly tackled her, fast as lighting. "Who's slow now?"

"Not you! Not you!" Gracepaw grunted.

"Good. Plus Riverclan must be fast, or else we wouldn't be able to fish!" Rockpaw pointed out. Then he let her up. "Are you hurt?"

"No, just stiff." Gracepaw replied. "So what are we going to do?"

Rockpaw and Gracepaw ended up strolling around the clearing, and Gracepaw taught Rockpaw how to catch a mouse.

"Wow, Thunderclan can catch mice!" Rockpaw scoffed.

Gracepaw narrowed her eyes. "Wow, Riverclan can catch fish!" she grinned, and Rockpaw did too. "I guess talent runs in the family!"

Then he stiffened. "What's wrong?" Gracepaw asked. Is Riverclan or Thunderclan or even Windclan here?

But then Rockpaw shot forward, slamming his paws down on a mouse. "Good job!" Gracepaw praised. The two quickly ate the mouse.

"Wow! Riverclan can catch mice!" Rockpaw bragged. "How slow am I now?"

"Oh, you're still slow... fish-breath!" Gracepaw whispered.

Laughing, Rockpaw ran after Gracepaw and they chased each other, taunting and teasing as they did. Finally they collasped on a small boulder on the edge of the clearing.

"Hey Gracepaw?" Rockpaw mewed.

"What's up?" But one look at her friend's face and Gracepaw knew something was wrong.

"What will happen when we get older? Will someone find out? I mean, you aren't falling behind in training are you?"

Gracepaw shook her head. "No. You?"

"No. But someday someone is going to find out... how can we get past that?"

"I don't know..." Gracepaw's head tipped to the side. "But are saying we should..."

Rockpaw rose quickly. "No! We should still meet." he meowed. "But what if we didn't have to? What if there was a way around... like joining my clan, or me joining yours?"

Gracepaw's eyes widened. "Really? But...I would be lost without a thick forest."

"And I'd be lost without my sister!" Rockpaw retorted.

"I have two sisters, and three brothers." replied Gracepaw smugly.

"But.." Rockpaw faltered. "I don't know what we could do? I mean, we are friends, right?"

"Yeah. That's why I meet you." Gracepaw frowned.

"I mean... I showed you I could catch mice tonight. Didn't I?" Rockpaw mewed.

"Yeah." Gracepaw repeated. "I don't know what we could do... other than you joining my clan. It's been done be-. Wait. If we are friends... why are we talking about this?"

"Um...no reason..." Rockpaw yawned. "Um, I'm going back! Bye!" he quickly raced to the bushes and left.

"Bye..." Gracepaw murmured. She turned around and walked back to the shore, where she swam back to the sand on Thunderclan's territory.

What did he mean?

To the reviewer who gave me Sageclaw: Thanks. I'll use him for Windclan!

To the reviewer who gave me Tornkit, Flyingkit, and Skykit: Thanks. They'll be for Thunderclan.

Heatherfang is not giving birth until I get at least another kit. Send me some kits! I need them!...Ew. That's sounded wrong.

Hoppaw's POV(I'm finally making the point of views bigger!I used to be doing short POVs)

Hoppaw and Firepaw met the next day with Lilypaw and Amberpaw to share the news.

"Okay, Jumppaw is hunting and Gracepaw is sleeping- this is the best time I could round you guys up," Firepaw mewed.

"Yeah... I wonder why you had to wake me up?" Amberpaw growled.

"Anyway, I had this odd dream! And it turns out there's another clan, at a gorge!" Firepaw exclaimed.

Firepaw told them about Cloudstar, and Skyclan, and how they lived in a gorge a mountain range and two Twoleg places away, and that they used to live in the same forest with the other clans.

"Wow! That's so cool!" Hoppaw yowled. His siblings stared at them, and Hoppaw realized that he had interrupted Firepaw in the middle of his story. "...sorry." he muttered. "I didn't mean to interrupt you."

"Yeah, and Cloudstar said that there are other clans in the world too! We aren't alone!" Firepaw finished.

"That's nice, but why did Cloudstar tell you that?" Lilypaw asked. Amberpaw leaned forward, and Hoppaw knew she was looking for another omen or prophecy.

"Oh, he said, even Vinestar is just like us, that she just wants the best for her clan. That's the only reason- not of hate or anger, just because she wants her clan strong!" Firepaw hissed.

"Windclan just wants to be strong- I'd bite my tail off before I believed that." Hoppaw grumbled.

"Well, Cloudstar is from Starclan and Skyclan." replied Firepaw.

Hoppaw started padding away. "I'm going to go look for a fox or something, to go bite my tail off!"

He turned back. "You aren't lying? Are you?"

Firepaw shook his head. "No!"

Wow... he isn't lying. Vinestar really just wants to have her clan be strong... but why now? From what I heard, she led the clan through the Great War! Hoppaw thought. Then his stomach lurched.

"Are you okay, Hoppaw?" Amberpaw asked.

Hoppaw collasped in pain. "No! My belly really hurts!" He started to grow faint. "Ow..."

He felt teeth in his scruff- Firepaw was trying to drag him to the medicine cat den.

"Help!" Lilypaw screeched. "Hoppaw is hurt!"

Grasslace shot out of her den. "Let me see!" she ordered, and that was when Hoppaw blacked out.

Recap: Firepaw told most of his siblings about Cloudstar and Skyclan-with a few interruptions from Hoppaw- when Hoppaw started to feel weak and his stomach hurt. Then he blacked out. I have no idea of what his illness is...I better go look it up...oops.

Amberpaw's POV(I'm sorry! I had to! I couldn't resist! Plus, Jumppaw is asleep. O_O)

Amberpaw helped carry Hoppaw to the medicine cat den, where he laid, moaning. Amberpaw thought he was unconscious.

"Amberpaw, water soaked moss, please." Grasslace ordered sweetly but firmly. Amberpaw nodded and fetched some quickly. "Good. Now, what do you think is wrong with him?"

"He's expecting kits?" Amberpaw joked, but Grasslace just only frowned. "No. It seems as though he has some kind of a stomach virus. It's small yet very... just very effective."

"Will he live?" Amberpaw asked, starting to get worried.

"Might."

Grasslace started to massage Hoppaw's stomach.

A/N: Ew. But I had to include it. BTW no time skip at all

"You know what juniper berries are, right?" Grasslace asked.

"Yes, how many do you need?" Amberpaw replied. Grasslace told her that she needed three.

When Amberpaw ran into Grasslace's store she quickly spotted the juniper berries right next to the yarrow.

Wait- yarrow expels poison and can make you retch! Amberpaw thought. Eyes narrowed, she grabbed some of that too and raced back.

"Good again and- Great! You thought of yarrow...I would have never thought of that. We'll need that." Grasslace praised.

Happy, Amberpaw watched Grasslace shove yarrow down Hoppaw's throat. Seconds later the apprentice, still unconscious, threw up. Yuck! Amberpaw's face turned green.

"Hm... okay, Amberpaw, feed him the juniper berries now." Grasslace mewed. She didn't seem bothered by the stench and the... stuff that was now on the den floor.

"For strength, right?" Amberpaw questioned the medicine cat, who nodded. "Yes!" Amberpaw obeyed and Hoppaw stopped groaning and started to sleep peacefully.

"Wow, Amberpaw. You just saved your brother's life!" Grasslace exclaimed.

"Really! That was so cool and fun!" Amberpaw smiled as she said it. "I mean- not him retching and almost dying, but saving him was awesome! It's the best feeling in the world!"

It was Grasslace's turn to smile. "Yes... Amberpaw, how would you like to be my apprentice, with Gorgebreeze gone..."

Amberpaw's face lit up. She was going to be the next medicine cat apprentice! "Yes! Please! I've wanted it my whole life!"

"Okay. Tonight I'll take you to the Moonpool." Grasslace seemed satisfied, and Hoppaw was asleep, so Amberpaw skipped outside the bramble screen and out into the clearing.

A/N: When Firepaw told his siblings about Cloudstar and the sign, they were by the apprentice den. So they were pretty close by.

"I'm so happy! Hoppaw will live and I'm going to be the next medicine cat!" Amberpaw exclaimed to Brighttail, Raventooth, and all of her siblings, even Jumppaw and Gracepaw(they were awake), who were sitting out in the clearing, waiting for the news.

"That's great, Amberpaw," Raventooth mewed, but there wasn't something right with his voice. What's wrong with him? Amberpaw wondered. But it didn't matter anymore as excitement welled up inside of her. "I gave Grasslace yarrow and she said..."

I'm at four pages? Whoa! Um, so yeah, this is actually a shorter chapter but my author's notes made it...longer. So yeah! Send a cat! Here's the form again so you can copy and paste it! You can PM or put it in a review.

Just remember that if its a rouge that doesn't go to a clan, I'm using it for something darker in this... and if it goes to Thunderclan I'm using it for Heatherfang's kits, unless it's like a tortoiseshell or something different. No weird names! No purple cats! *Snowstar* I mean, none!
