[guh-huh!]

Emberstreak: She felt the rush of a warrior pass her by, turning around she met with Sunfall. "And where have you been?" She said, trying not to sound to suspicious. Her ears perked, trying to detect if Sunfall would lie to her or not. "And have you seen Shadowthorn? It's getting dark, and we wouldn't want anyone alone when dusk falls."

[AGGUA!]

"I'm just hungry," Sunfall said firmly, not wanting to let any signs of suspicion show through. "As for Shadowthorn? I'm not quite sure. He isn't in the den sleeping?" She wished Emberstreak would stop butting her nose where it didn't belong, otherwise Sunfall would claw it off of her face.

(Btw, in the forums pg 34, I made a mistake with my cat pictures. I fixed it now, it was a problem with Swiftheart and Eagleclaw, because Eagleclaw is meant to be the siamese. Sorry for anyone I may have confused!

[guh-huh!]

Emberstreak: She frowned, "No. Shadowthorn is missing from his nest." She softened a bit, not trying to be accusing of the other warrior, "It's just; I'm on edge about the whole prophecy..." She said, her gaze turning to the ground. "You can't really be sure of anything anymore." She said with a shrug, trying to gain sympathy from the other.

[AGGUA!]

Sunfall gave her a rare smile. "It's ok. There isn't anybody I trust much anymore, and you have every right to remain cautious." Sunfall took a comforting step forward. "Here's a tip- don't place your trust in anyone. The betrayer could be Stormwhisker, Thicketpaw, and it might be Shadowthorn. It might even be you. But I'm going to do a rare thing, Emberstreak. I'm going to trust you. So can you trust me?"

[guh-huh!]

Emberstreak: She flattened her ears, she hadn't trusted Sunfall before; but something twisted in her stomach as she smiled. "Yeah. I...I trust you Sunfall." She mewed, looking at the she-cat with newfound friendship. Please Starclan, don't let her be a traitor. She thought, as she twitched a whisker, "Come on; let's get some rest, shall we?"

[AGGUA!]

"I'm not that tired. Besides, someone has to go looking for Shadowthorn. I'll be by your side in the morning, Emberstreak. See ya then." Then Sunfall turned around and leaped back into the bushes, pretending to look for the missing tom. When she was sure Emberstreak wasn't following her, she changed direction and headed for Eagleclaw's refuge camp. Emberstreak's words were still stuck in her mind. She wanted to shake away the hesitant feeling that held her. So what? Emberstreak would like her as a deputy. Her words began to feel slippery and they lost their guilty hold on Sunfall's thoughts. She was only making CrystalClan great again. Surely everyone would thank her when it was all over and Shadowthorn was Shadowstar.

[guh-huh!]

Emberstreak: She nodded, hoping that Sunfall would keep true to words. Yawning, the warrior padded off to the den. She shook her fur off before placing herself gently in the nest. Hopefully Sunfall would be back soon, she'd even take Shadowthorn! She sighed and shifted deeper into the hollow where she spotted the sleeping Stormwhisker, she'd never lay a paw on the deputy, even if the traitors forced her to.

[AGGUA!]

Eagleclaw- Eagleclaw's eyes snapped open when he first heard the sound of rustling leaves in the bushes near their camp. His sister, Brightmoon, had curled up beside him in the night, and he carefully got up without alerting her. He spotted where the sounds were coming from and saw a flash of fur. AN INTRUDER?!? his head roared. Then he leaped at the figure, unsheathing his sharp claws. But the cat, whoever it was, dodged and swiped a paw across his belly. He waited for the searing pain to hit him. But it didn't. When he landed on the ground again, he realized there was only one cat he knew who could do a move like that. "Sunfall?" he said in disbelief, looking at the she-cat standing opposite him.

Sunfall- "Who'd you think it was?" Sunfall snapped. "Listen. I need to talk to you about something urgent. Something that could put you back on top."

Swiftheart- He was awoken by the sound of a wonderfully familiar voice. His dream faded, him, Eagleclaw, Brightheart, Sprucetail. And Sunfall was in his dream, too. With him. But when her voice filled his ears, he practically melted. The longing he had felt these past couple of weeks had drove him nearly mad. But now... "Sunfall?" he squeaked, bolting upright.

Brightmoon- She yawned, waking up and rubbing her eyes with a paw. When she saw Sunfall in their camp, she shook her head as though to clear it, not really believing what she was seeing. "Sunfall!" she said joyously. "Eagleclaw, what is she doing here? We haven't seen you since..." She couldn't finish the sentence. She didn't need to.

Whisperpool|Fæ|StarClan Warrior|No Crush|Tagged ~ Littleivy

Whisperpool's attention was drawn to the patrol. Their idea for getting rid of the badgers was risky, but possible. She pointed with her tail to where the cats where heading. "Look," she mewed. "Will they make it?"

Littleivy|Fæ|StarClan Warrior|No Crush|Tagged ~ Whisperpool

Littleivy looked at Whisperpool then down at the patrol. She looked at the river, then the cats, then the badgers, understanding their plan instantly. "They will, we will watch them and help them in any way we can, but I'm sure they will." She meowed, glancing at the cats, and Shadowthorn. The black tom's destiny twisted in ways she couldn't yet explain and his fate was shrouded in shadow.

Hollybreeze|Fæ|Warrior|Crushing on Reedfeather|Tagged ~ Emberstreak, Shadowthorn, Briarpaw, Nettlecoat

Hollybreeze kept silent as she entered camp. She looked at Emberstreak and meowed. "I will take Briarpaw to Nettlecoat." Before stalking away with the small apprentice. Entering the medicine cat den, she placed Briarpaw on the ground. "Nettlecoat? Briarpaw fell in the stream." She explained.

Shadowthorn|Tom|Warrior|No Crush|Tagged ~ Emberstreak, Hollybreeze, Briarpaw

Shadowthorn nodded before standing up and running out of the clearing. He slowed as he reached camp and entered through the shadows so he wouldn't be caught as easily. The tom just thought nobody was looking. He crept into the warrior's den and curled up in his nest, hoping Emberstreak was asleep already.

Shiverpaw|Tom|Apprentice|No Crush|Tagged ~ Thicketpaw, Stormwhisker, Sunfall

Shiverpaw curled in his nest with a gaping yawn. "Night Thicketpaw." He managed to mumble before exhaustion engulfed him like a black wave and he fell asleep.

Briarpaw|Fæ|Apprentice|No Crush|Tagged ~ Emberstreak, Hollybreeze, Shadowthorn

Briarpaw shivered as Hollybreeze put her down. The den she was in was warmer and smelled of vegetation, so she guessed she was in the medicine cat den. The fæ didn't open her eyes, and as soon as she was put down she moved close to Hollybreeze and snuggled up against her legs to keep warm.

Blindwhisker|Fæ|Elder|No Crush|Tagged ~ Open

Blindwhisker stood up after it seemed no cat was coming to help her up. The blind elder used her whiskers to feel around, carefully putting one paw in front of the other. She banged into the wall once before sitting down outside, grooming her fur as if nothing had happened.

Alaska|Fæ|Kittypet|No Crush|Tagged ~ Sunfall

Alaska climbed to her paws and looked at Shadowthorn. "I will go and get Aquilo, see you in four days." She mewed before dipping her head in farewell and dashing out of the hollow.

[I forgot to mention that Blindwhisker is blind and often needs help from other warriors.
And so the prophecy begins (=ﾟωﾟ)ﾉ
And Shadowthorn has no crush now.]

[AGGUA!]

Eagleclaw- "What news do you bring, Sunfall? Where have you been all this time?" Eagleclaw asked.

Sunfall- "I was taken in by a clan," she explained. "But not a very good one. We've just received word or a traitor in our midst, and that traitor is me. I'm planning on launching an attack with some of the other cats in the clan, but we won't succeed without your help."

Swiftheart- "An attack?" he said. "Well, it's Eagleclaw's call, but I'm all for it. Even if he says no, I'll go with you." I would follow you to the ends of the earth.

Brightmoon- Brightheart nodded. "It has been ages since we've been in a clan," she said. "It would be nice to be welcomed as warriors again. But I'm staying with my brother, or whatever he decides." If Sunfall was asking her to leave Eagleclaw's side, then she shouldn't have even bothered coming here to tell them.
