AN: MORE REVIEWS! Late. Very late.

Rainstorm of ShadowClan, who is now Cascade of Raining Ice, said, "It seems like a nice story. I hope to read more."

Now you can.

LilacKitten said, "Yay! She's not crippled! Cinderpaw/pelt has always been a favorite character of mine! It was so sad when she got hurt...now I'm wondering what happened to Tigerclaw? Did HE get crippled? :3"

Actually, no. Tigerclaw's fine. That's both a good and bad thing :(

THANK YOU. PLEASE REVIEW, FEEDBACK IS APPRECIATED!

Chapter 5

Fireheart's POV

She was all right. She was awake. She was going to live.

Fireheart felt like collapsing. She was still going to be a warrior.

Fireheart cast a glance at Graystripe disappearing out of camp and his delighted mood dissipated. Although Brackenpaw might not be if Graystripe keeps this up.

He went over to chase after his friend.

Tigerclaw's POV

Relief. That was it.

Oh that's right, and also mischief.

That's what was in Tigerclaw.

Obstruction out of the way, he could continue his plans for the forest.

Now. How to kill Bluestar this time?

Ah, yes. He could use those rogues to his advantage.

But the kittypet?

Kill him, Tigerclaw, his mind shouted. He knows the truth!

Just you wait, Fireheart, he thought. I'm coming for you. You'd better be ready.

Cloudkit's POV

Moss! Whee! Cloudkit was playing with moss. Moss. Moss. MOSS! He tossed the ball from paw to paw. Brightkit and Swiftkit were out of the nursery immediately.

"Can we play?" Swiftkit begged. Cloudkit nodded enthusiastically. The kits here had easily accepted him.

Tigerclaw's POV

Formulating a plan, formulating a plan…

STOP THAT! His mind screamed at him. You sound so STUPID when you do that!

ALL RIGHT, he hissed back. I can't think of anything, though.

Killing the kittypet wasn't enough. He'd meddled far too much. He needed… to torture him after he left to StarClan.

Fireheart's POV

Fireheart, after chasing after Graystripe, had come over to play with the kits, mind still spinning from their last conversation.

"You can't keep this up!" he had cried. "This is against the code!"

Graystripe's gaze was defiant. "I love her, okay?"

"Well then stop loving her!"

Graystripe flattened his ears. "If it's against the code to love, then maybe the code should change! Times are changing! Lives are changing!" He stalked off, leaving Fireheart alone.

Fireheart sighed and smiled at the innocent kits.

Tigerclaw stalked up and his heart sank. Go away, Tigerclaw, he thought mentally.

Cloudkit's POV

Tigerclaw! Whoa! Cloudkit stared at the deputy with wide blue eyes.

While staring at him, he missed the moss-ball thrown at him, and to his surprise Tigerclaw picked up the moss and rolled it back to him.

"Careful," he growled, not taking his eyes off Fireheart. "You wouldn't want to lose such a precious plaything."

Fireheart flattened his ears, and Cloudkit looked confusedly after the warrior as he padded away.

I know he was talking about the moss.

So why does it seem like he was talking about something… else?

Why does it seem like he was talking about me?

AN: YAY, FINISHED IT! I added the Graystripe conversation and said those words because Silverstream said something similar in Crookedstar's Promise. As for the "precious plaything," Tigerclaw actually said that in the series.

Now how will he kill Fireheart? Pretty sure you should all know if you've read the books!
