 (LOL. Ok. Ill try not to.) "Yeah, we should carry her back to the apprentices den." IceStorm had seen the looks on Moonkit and Hawkpaw. "Hawkpaw, when i was little i cried over a lot of things, that time my mother told me that when life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, show life you have a thousand reasons to smile." She smiled down on Hawkpaw.

 H a w k p a w“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.”___________________________Hawkpaw blinked his thanks to Icestorm. The she-cat's words did lift his spirits, if only by a tiny bit. Hawkpaw flinched as Thunderpaw woke up. She was panicking as if she was witnessing a battle before her eyes. Despite his still roaring emotions, he quietly padded up to Thunderpaw and touched her rapidly rising and falling flank with his tail.
“Thunderpaw?” He anxiously glanced at Silverstar. “It was just a dream. Calm down; you're scaring us.”
[[In the end, I guess it's up to Hawkpaw. Dx
So, if he DOES eventually like Thunderpaw more than Moonkit, I guess the situation will be more like Firestar and Sandstorm's love story. xD]]

IceStorm padded up to Thunderpaw and saw that she was waking up. She licked the apprentice's ears gently. "It's alright." She whispered.

((Ah yes, Rain! Great idea about the rabid squirrel. EXCEPT make sure he breaks its neck with a harsh blow, DO NOT BITE IT.))
"Thunderpaw, calm down. It was only a dream. If it helps, I would like to hear the dream, but later. For now, we will focus on training." [Silverstar padded to Icestorm.] "Icestorm. Would you and Hawkpaw like to join us in a training session? It would help him learn some moves. Afterward, we plan on going hunting." [Silverstar's green eyes glittered with enthusiasm, like she was the one being trained, not the trainer.]

[I blinked rapidly. As my eyes adjusted to the light, I recognized Icestorm, and...and Hawkpaw. I shuddered.]
"Dream..." I muttered, my eyes darting around wildly, in search of the beast. "Dream...no, it wasn't a dream. It was a vision...a warning."
[My eyes took an ominous glare.]
I said in a serious tone, "My mother was the one who contacted me, not StarClan. That isn't good. This is...this is beyond StarClan."
Turning to Silverstar, I said quickly, "Are there any stories of cats outside the clans? Stories...about long ago?"
[My mind was whirling. We had done something, long ago...that upset these creatures who were preying upon us. What was it? Perhaps if we found out, we could set things right...
I rested my tail on Hawkpaw's shoulder to let him know I had heard him. I leaned tiredly on his shoulder.
It was a lot to take in.]

H a w k p a w“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.”___________________________ Hawkpaw wanted to ask Thunderpaw a flurry of questions, but judging on how she slumped onto his shoulder, he thought that it would be better to just let her speak to Silverstar about her "vision". Upon hearing his leader mention training and hunting, his ears perked, and eyes shimmered with hope. Perhaps today would not be a complete disaster, as it seemed to already be. Hawkpaw let his tail-tip twitch with interest as he listened to Silverstar and her apprentice exchange words.

[Starpelt had watched with joy and sadness as Hawkpaw was apprenticed.If only she had an appretice of her own.]
[She watched as the strange events unfolded in front of her very eyes,but was calm the whole time.She heard what Thunderpaw had said and walked up to her with confusion showing in her eyes.]"Beyond Starclan....?"[Starpelt murmured more to herself than the others.]"What was the warning about?"[She questioned the apprentice.]

[Silverstar curls her tail around her paws.] "Yes, there are many cats outside the Clans. There is the Tribe, who helped our ancestors. And the outsider, the loners, rogues, and kittypets." [A puzzled expression crossed her face.] "Can you remember any striking details?"

Seeing SilverStar padd up to her IceStorm felt her emotions that were caged inside her roar, trying to break that lock. IceStorm looked at her leader and smiled, hiding everything. IceStorm then nodded, once, twice, ten times. IceStorm never relized it. Then she stopped and turned back to Thunderpaw.

[I shuddered.]"I can remember everything," I whispered.
"They were huge cats...bigger than any cat I've ever seen. Their paws were large enough to crush a cat...
There...there was a pile of dead bodies...I was standing on it. Cats were running past me, screaming. The giant cats were lashing out and striking cats with their massive paws, and there was blood everywhere...
And...and they were getting closer and closer. I couldn't turn around. Behind me was blackness...I was too scared to run...they were so big...no cat could defeat them!"
[My eyes shone with fear from the memory. The scent of blood still clogged my nostrils. I tried to calm myself down by taking deep breaths.]

IceStorm listened to Thunderpaw's story. "My mother once told me a story about huge cats that lived in the mountains. They did not understand cat language. They roared and talked in roars and growls. Is that what they sounded like in your dream?" IceStorm asked the apprentice. She licked thunderpaw comfortingly.

"Calm down,Thunderpaw.It's okay if you don't want to mention it again that's all we need to know."[Starpelt whispered soothingly to Thunderpaw.]Huge cats that no clan cat can defeat....how could that be?[Starpelt thought,but it just seemed so unusual to her so she turned her head to Silverstar.]

((Aw foxdung! Everytime I get close to training...
Well, sorry. I have to go. But let me push that squirrel thing now.
I have till 8:00, my time. My gaia posts are an hour ahead for some reason. ))
Scrabble panted. White foam dripped from his mouth.
Long ago, he had been bitten by some mad fellow-prey. Now it seemed the madness had infected him.
His mind faded away as the madness consumed it.
He staggered forward, and looked down. He was in a tree. Below him were cats.
His heart filled him with fear, but his newfound mind snarled with pleasure. Prey.
But...he was prey! How could he want to hunt?
But the feeling was too strong. He leapt from atop the tree into the camp, roaring, which was a strange sound for a squirrel to make.
His eyes locked on a black she-cat. He growled, and leapt.
((He's comin' for me, but let me post quickly. D: ))

__________________________________
[I stepped back, my eyes wide. The squirrel was after me!
At first, fear filled my heart, but then I came up with a plan. It was still a squirrel...
I ran as if I was scared, and the squirrel fell for it. It began to chase me. But I quickly turned and pounced on it.
Its true instincts kicked in, and it spun around and ran. I chased it forward blindly.
Then I realized Hawkpaw was ahead of me.]
"Hawkpaw!" I cried, "Kill it! I can't catch it! Hurry!"
[Instinct was fading. He had to act fast.]

  [Silverstar's eyes widened as the image, as vivid as it could be, entered her mind.] "Yes, I know about them." [Silverstar tried to continue, but a mouse-brained squirrel tried to attack Thunderpaw! Silverstar burst into roaring laughter. Thunderpaw glanced back, confused.] "The...squirrel...tried...to...attack..." [Silverstar's word were cut off by another bout of laughter. She immediately sobered, signaling for Thunderpaw to come near.]
"Thunderpaw, I know what you saw. I know about the cats. I was a kit when an elder told me the story. She told me about a legendary cat named Feathertail, who had killed a giant cat with giant paws who feated on cats. His name was Sharptooth. I think his brethren are coming for revenge. They will aim for the weakest cats, then the stronger. I think they are coming to destroy the forest. Which means... They know how to defeat us. They have sent diseases to us, curses, but they themselves will eventually come down. They will aim... For me, leaders and deputies. I must admit, I am in much danger. But I will defend my Clan and those I love until the last of my lives in gone. [A look of determination creot across her face, her eyes blazing with anger for the large cats.] "Let them come... We are ready." [She yowled the last words, almost like a challenge.]
