We won 1st place (YAY) AND got a delicious cake! *drools*. Anyway, expect super slow updates (cuz projects and homeworks).

HERE IS TIGER IN THE FLAMES CHAPTER 4!

(2 days later)

Tigerkit looked at the pitiful mother. She had woken up to see Flarestrike had curled up so tightly to make sure that Maplekit would stay warm, though it appeared Maplekit seemed to have disappeared with the amount of fur surrounding her.

Carefully, Tigerkit went out of the den to and crashed into Snowpaw who seemed to have been stalking a certain brown kit with golden stripes and aquatic eyes, seeing as she was holding a tuft of brown fur with small streaks of gold.

The crash between Tigerkit and Snowkit seemed to have been an unlucky encounter, as Snowpaw lost her tuft of fur and Tigerkit knew she would hurt her. "Oh no... Oh no, no, no! I lost my most precious possession!" She wailed. Tigerkit flattened her ears as Snowpaw glared at her. "Well? Don't just stand there freak! Go and search for it!" She demanded, green eyes full of rage and embarrassment.(cuz someone found out about the tuft of fur)

Tigerkit's eyes were full of fear of what would happen if she couldn't find the tuft. She began to dig up the snow that was surrounding them, but as her fears had guessed, came true. The tuft was not there or anywhere. She guessed that the cold and breezy wind must have picked it up during the crash. She feared what was going to happen next.

Snowpaw seemed to have guessed that she could not find it "WHY YOU STUPID LITTLE FOX-" but before she could have said "Dung", Rainkit and Grasskit came out, side by side, brother with brother, and as irritate as you when someone wakes you up when you were having a good sleep.

"Oi Snowpaw. Could you please remember that there are other cat who are sleeping?" Rainkit said with a scary voice. Tigerkit made a mental note to never wake him, Grasskit on the other hand seemed just the opposite of his brother. Eyes bright and not saying anything bad, she also made another note to always unnoticeably wake him up early.

Snowpaw seemed to be dazed. Her usually shy, calm and cool crush acting like that seemed to make her fawn over him. She apologized, then proceeded to run to a deserted part of camp and began giggling and thinking about Rainsnow(RainkitxSnowpaw)

Tigerkit sighed in relief that she would be spared until Snowpaw remembers about the tuft of fur.

Applekit bounced out of the entrance of the nursery. Flarestrike in tow. Maplekit seemed to dangle lifelessly in her mouth, but Tigerkit was sure that she was alive, as her eyes were wide open and her tail was twitchy. They proceeded to the nursery, probably to get some medicine for both Applekit and Maplekit as they were both sneezing.

She turned around to Rainkit. His earlier attitude seemed to be forgotten as the shyness in his eyes were back. "Thanks Rainkit!" I said merrily. "No problem..." He replied. Tigerkit then chased a (still) bouncy Grasskit, but when she appeared in his line of sight, he puffed up his chest and tried to look like the bully he was yesterday, but failed.

Tigerkit mentally giggled while Grasskit sneezed after trying to puff his chest up. "Nice try, but you are acting better today then two days ago." she burst out accidentally. He stared at her in surprise, but before he could speak, Icekit ran to them like lightning and in no time at all, she was pushing up to Grasskit.

Applekit, who was cured of sneezes, ran out of the medicine cat den and began to dramatically look at Tigerkit, as she was around Grasskit and Icekit. Tigerkit looked at her, amusement in her eyes. Applekit whined "Tiiiiiiigeerrrkiittt, you promised me that we'll go listen to one of the elder's storyyyy's!"

Tigerkit sighed, beckoning her. "We'll go as long as Rainkit or Grasskit is there."

"But whyyyy?!"

"Because I think that the elder's like seeing more than two begging face's"

"Ah, fine... But I want Maplekit then!"

"Let's see if she's free then!"

Then they went to Flarestrike. She had recovered after Blazekit's and Sunkit's death, but she would get upset if they were mentioned. Flarestrike said yes, but not before staring staring at Tigerkit suspiciously. Applekit, on the other hand was still wondering why nobody treats her bad, despite her eyes. Maplekit had grown a bit taller and she was able to go play as long as someone Flarestike trusts is there.

The group of three then went to a pair of siblings who were trying to hide from their "Stalkers" wanting nothing to do with Icekit and Snowkit, they hastily agreed and sped away to the elder's den

The group went to the elder's den. There, was the old Dewspark, the stubborn Lilyspot and the wise Cherrytail and Molefur. They were the eldest of all the four clans. The most stubborn and saddest too. Sad because they didn't know this was what the clans became to be after the Dark Forest Battle.

When they entered the den, the siblings were sleeping. Dewspark was eating a trush while Lilyspot was playing with a small and thick piece of moss. She smelled it before looking at the entrance. Prodding Cherrytail and Molefur to wake, she purred happily at the kits.

"Why hello young'uns! We are glad we got to see you! Now I wonder who will become the next couple?" Lilyspot said, meanwhile Tigerkit was positive she could stars coming from her eyes.

Dewspark coughed to interrupt her moment and correct her mistake. "I'm sorry kits. Lilyspot here is just... A matchmaker as she calls herself... Anyway, I guess your here for stories, am I right?" Applekit nodded, her excitement bursting "I wanna hear all your stories!" She roared. They could hear it as a kit squeaking though.

Molefur purred in amusement. He bent down and licked Applekit's head. "I'm sure you would, but we know only so few..." he rasped. Suddenly Maplekit asked them "I know some stories. Wanna hear them?"

Applekit looked in surprise at her amber-eyed friend. She nodded, curiosity getting the best of her. "Oh... Ok!" Maplekit said, her eyes sparkling a happy color.

"Though it's a sad story..."

"It's all right! I wanna hear it!"

"Ok..."

"There was a Thunderclan cat named Mapleshade. Mapleshade was a very happy cat. But she broke clan law and was exiled by her clan for falling in love and having kits with a Riverclan cat. She then tried to carry her kits across the river, but they drowned and the kit's father blamed her! And then Riverclan cast her out too! And that father took a mate when he said he'll only love me! That mate bore a daughter and that daughter's son is Shellheart, who had a son named Crookedstar. Starclan foretold he would have a great destiny. Fools! It should have been my kin who should have had that destiny! But oh, no worry! I went to the Dark Forest after I had died. I tried to change that destiny, but oh no! Starclan seemed to have expected me! And when I had faded from that wretched battle, I woke up in a stupid kit's body!" Maplekit said, snarling at the end, unaware that everyone was staring at her in shock and that her body was flashing into a cat which had a ragged,large, sturdy, thick-furred tortoiseshell-and-white she-cat, soft, sleek, scarred and patched matted fur, snarling sharp, yellow teeth and angry amber eyes.

But after she finished her story, Maplekit became normal. She innocently looked at them, head tilted. "What's wrong?" She said.

"Maplekit?"

Ok, I was not prepared for this chapter. Words just came after words, and I thing I'm just spoiling you... Anyway, I feel so guilty for not revealing Applekit's secret. Which I haven't even decided yet :P. Anyway this was the 4th chapter of TIGER IN THE FLAMES.
