Chapter 12

HI! sorry this chapter took so long..(Okay, like four days, but still) but I kinda had writers block.

Also, I finished the last episode of Inuyasha! Its such a good anime! AH! I'm getting off topic. Anyways, Enjoy!

Lightpaw swiped her paw in the air, signaling Darkpaw. Darkpaw then moved to the next bush, and began to climb over the twoleg fence.

"Light? Darkpaw? Nightpaw? Why are you going to twoleg place?" Lightpaw alarmingly turned around, and saw Dovewing stare at them.

"What are you doing here? Planning to see Tigerheart?" Darkpaw snarled.

"What!?" Dovewing gasped.

'We should go while we have the chance.' Darkpaw whispered into her mind.

They ran off and crossed the fence, Dovewing staring blankly at them. Lightpaw followed after Darkpaw and Nightpaw, keeping a steady pace. They padded through the strange smells, until they were next to a Thunderpath.

"So, know how to cross it, Nightpaw?" Lightpaw asked.

"Yeah….you run!" Nightpaw screamed.

Lightpaw scrambled after Nightpaw, Darkpaw behind her. A loud sound came near, making Lightpaw screech. The monster was getting closer by the second.

"Run faster!" Nightpaw screeched, at the end of the Thunderpath. Lightpaw and Darkpaw made it across, barely dodging the monster.

"Were alive…" Darkpaw gasped.

"Yeah...now we should find a place to sleep. No cats are out at dark." Nightpaw explained.

Lightpaw helped Nightpaw gather moss, while Darkpaw went out to get water. They gathered enough moss for three beds, then slowly fell asleep, watching Darkpaw return.

….

….

Darkpaw returned from her trip empty pawed, unable to find any herbs. She sighed, trying to ignore the aching pain from her side. The smell of blood got stronger, and Darkpaw began to wonder if they would find out about her wound.

"I'll die if I don't find the right herbs….but I can't slow us down...I'm sure I can hold out for a few days…" Darkpaw gasped, and fell asleep.

Darkpaw woke up to the smell of fresh prey, Lightpaw chewing on a mouse. Nightpaw was watching over her, almost kinda creepy. Darkpaw jumped out of her moss bedding, instantly regretting that, her wound getting deeper. She winced at the pain, but tried her best to ignore it.

"So, let's go. We need to find...my father….Skykit…" Nightpaw gulped.

"Don't you know where he is?" Lightpaw asked.

"No, but I think I know a cat that might know...follow me." Nightpaw explained. Darkpaw followed, trying to keep up with the rest of the group.

"This is the house." Nightpaw stopped at the Twoleg thing.

"House?" Lightpaw questioned.

"It's where the Twolegs live. It's also where Shadow lives. A friend of my fathers." Nightpaw said, looking at the ground.

"Night? Is that you?" A old tom came out of the 'house' and greeted Nightpaw.

Darkpaw focused her energy on him, wincing as her pain grew stronger. Her wound opened up more, and Darkpaw stopped after seeing his memories.

'Oh no...Nightpaw...no, no….' Darkpaw gulped.

'What? What is it?' Lightpaw climbed into her thoughts, but Darkpaw just shook her head at Lightpaw.

"It's Nightpaw actually...I joined the clans. But, that aside, have you seen….my father?" Nightpaw choked.

"Oh...then you haven't heard...your father is...dead." Shadow choked.

Nightpaw froze, and looked like he was trying to say something, but the shock was stopping him. Darkpaw leaned on him, and whispered, "I'm so sorry…"

"He...how...when…" Nightpaw cried.

"I'm so sorry...he recently passed away...Red tried to look for you, but she couldn't find you…" Shadow apologized.

"Red?" Lightpaw asked.

"That's Nightpaws sister." Shadow explained.

"We need to go...find my sister...bye…" Nightpaw mumbled.

They walked away in silence, until Lightpaw spoke up. "So, Darkpaw, did you get the information?"

"Yeah...follow me." Darkpaw mumbled.

Darkpaw tried her best to ignore the pain as she padded to Reds Twoleg thing. She finally stopped Infront of the cat, panting from all the energy she used.

"Night!" Red ran to her brother. She tackled him, crying and wailing.

"Yeah...though it's Nightpaw now. I joined the clans." Nightpaw sighed.

"So...what are you doing here?" Red asked,

"Well, we need you to join the clans. It's actually a funny story…" Lightpaw started, and Nightpaw nodded at Darkpaw.

Darkpaw grasped onto Reds memories, reading them all at once. Darkpaw began to hurt, until all the pain stabbed her at once. She felt like crying in pain, but then they would know. She felt her vision blurring, so she imeadietly stopped.

"I...just remembered...something I have to do…" Darkpaw gasped. She ran as fast as her body could hold up, and hid in the forest.

"Good...now...please don't find me…" Darkpaw gasped, then everything turned black.

And thats it for now. Sorry the chapter was so short.
