 IceStorm heard NightFlame's yowl. "NightFlame? what are you doing here." She listened as NightFlame explained. IceStorm bounded away to find SilverStar. "SilverStar! SilverStar! we have company!" She said.

Lightningpaw wandered around the camp. She then padded to the apprentice's den and curled up in her nest.

 H a w k p a w“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.”___________________________Hawkpaw slept rather comfortably on his new nest. It wasn't as soft as the nursery, but just as warm and inviting after a long, stressful day. Yet his dreams were cut short every now and then as he woke up, only to see Thunderpaw sleeping beside him, and be reminded that he was the reason that she was mute. Sure, her voice might come back, but that was just the thing. It might come back, not that it would.
Hawkpaw stared nonchalantly at the entrance of the apprentices' den. He could see the camp's clearing glowing in moonlight, as if it were Starclan's hunting grounds. As he was half-awake at one point, he thought that he caught a glimpse of Moonkit's silvery pelt walking across the clearing, and then Icestorm bounding after. Muttering to himself that it was only a dream, Hawkpaw buried his face in his paws. Yet a yowl jolted him awake. He didn't recognize the voice, and right after that, he heard and saw Icestorm pelting over to Silverstar's den and yowling that they had 'company'.
“Thundpaw! Thunderpaw, wake up! I think there's a cat from another clan in the camp!”
Hawkpaw whispered with a hiss into Thunderpaw's ears as his eyes kept darting at the den's entrance.
[[As I've already stated in the past post in BreezeClan, I won't be on much tomorrow. And next week I go back to school, so hours online are limited to anywhere after 3pm Pacific time...Yep. That is all. :3

[I opened my eyes slowly, only to find Hawkpaw saying something excitedly in my ear.]
Opening my mouth, I tried to say, What is it, Hawkpaw...? What do you mean?
[But the only sound that came out was that same soft breathy noise. I sighed, and tried to blink my sleep away.
Suddenly it hit me. A scent. Nightclan? I wasn't sure.
I nodded to Hawkpaw, showing I understood, and stretched quickly, feeling my joints cracking. I peeked out of the apprentice's den, glancing around. I saw Nightflame outside the entrance. For some reason, I felt scared, and I pressed myself against Hawkpaw without thinking.
Then, I remembered that I was going to be the one to protect him from now on, and stood taller, burying my fear down my crushed throat. I puffed out my chest, and my eyes glittered with anger. Why had Nightflame dared to enter our camp so freely?
I snorted, and padded out of the den toward Nightflame. I realized that I couldn't speak, and I hoped that Hawkpaw would help me confront the intruder.
Just because I couldn't speak didn't mean I couldn't fight.]

H a w k p a w“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.”___________________________ Hawkpaw padded out of the den beside Thunderpaw. His pelt bristled instinctvely, even though he could tell by Icestorm's immediate reaction that the intruder posed no threat. Nonetheless, the young tom tried to stand up straight, making himself look even a bit taller that Thunderpaw. Upon reaching the cat, he screwed up his nose at his smell. It was different from StormClan's, so he felt a bit confused. Could this cat be from NightClan? He'd heard stories about their nasty tactics and behavior, and about their strange scents.
“Identify yourself, intruder.”
Hawkpaw spoke steadily, despite still being sleepy in the back of his mind.

[Starpelt burst through the entrance to camp and didn't notice Nightflame until the last minute.She collided with him and fell to the ground.Starpelt quickly composed herself and looked at Nightflame curiously.]"Nightflame,what are you doing here?"[She questioned the tom.Then she noticed Hawkpaw and Thunderpaw,both bristling and tails twitching.]"Where is Silverstar?I must speak with her immediately.[she said looking around for their leader.]

snowkit pattered out of the nursery when her mother wasn't watching "I want to catch a mouse!"

 [SIlverstar strode calmly up to Starpelt. She nodded to Nightflame.] "And you are...? You do know that you are on StormClan territory. You are not welcome here. What is your purpose?" [Silverstar gazed hardly at him with her peircing green eyes. She ddin;t take her eyes off of the intruder, but swept Thunderpaw and Hawkpaw back with her tail.] "We will not fight. This cat is not here to steal or battle. He comes for...help." [Silverstar addressed the black tom. She murmured to Starpelt:] "What happened? Where was he found, what must you speak with me for?"

"Er,I didn't find Nightflame.He was here when I got here.Not mention I collided with him and fell,but that doesn't matter.It's about what I dreamt about at the Moonpool.It was a warning for us.About the Madness."[Starpelt reported.She avoided eye contact with Nightflame and waited for her leader to take her to her den to talk about the dream.]

 NightFlame brushed away the two apprentices who were trying to confront him. He saw that Starpelt had come. He dipped his head in respect to the medicine cat. Then he saw SilverStar. He dipped his head in deep respect. "Hello, My name is NightFlame. I am a SeaClan Warrior. Our Clan was attacked by a pack of birds. I have come to warn you about the animals." He took a quick glance around the camp. "Also to ask where we should dispose of these dangerous animals." He said.

IceStorm's jaw nearly dropped. She met NightFlame's gaze and saw fear reflecting before it suddenly vanished. IceStorm brushed her emotions away as well. She stood next to NightFlame their pelts nearly brushing. She understood NightFlame's reason and turned towards her leader.

"Hmmm...birds.Do you mean birds like the ones up in the mountains or the ones we hunt in the forest?[Starpelt asked Nightflame.]"I remember stories about hawks in the mountains that swoop down to catch prey or kits.It took at least four warriors to bring down a hawk.If those are the birds then I suggest you lure it with a mouse and have warriors hide behind something,in order for the bird not see them.As soon as it's close enough to the ground,the warriors could leap on top of the bird and bring it down.Only if it's that kind of a bird,otherwise I don't know what to do."[She said.The elders told her this when she was a kit.Starpelt enjoyed the stories and never thought that they would ever happen in the forest.That is,if those birds where as big as the birds in the mountains.Although she never knew exactly how big they were in size,but she figured if they could've taken cats away,then they must be bigger than the clan cats.]

H a w k p a w“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.”___________________________ First brushed away by Silverstar, and then Nightflame, Hawkpaw was getting a little irritated now. Still, he forced his hackles to lie flat and turned to Thunderpaw.
“Lets just stick around and hear what SeaClan's up to.”
Hawkpaw crouched with Thunderpaw a few tail-lengths away from Silverstar, Nightflame, Icestorm and Starpelt. With his ears tipped toward in interest, he watched his clanmates exchange words with the SeaClan warrior.

(( Augh, who approved birds for Seaclan? Birds aren't affected by rabies...>> I hope it wasn't me, because that would be fail. D: ))
[My heart stopped.
I pushed myself into the center of the cats. I knew it was rude, but I was desperate.
I opened my mouth, trying to speak, but my injury prevented me from saying anything. My throat throbbed horribly, but I tired again to force my voice to speak.
Finally, my voice cracked through the tight injury.]
"Nightflame," I croaked, my eyes wide and desperate, "Don't let your Clan eat them!"
I coughed, and tried to speak again. "The Madness...is contagious! You can get infected..."
[I shuddered, my fur bristling.]
"I had a dream," I said, my voice cracking. "This...this is bad. If we don't stop it from spreading...we...we could die!"
[I swallowed, grimacing at the pain, and spoke again.]
"Try...try burying the bodies...please, Nightflame...you can't let them eat the infected..."
[A coughing fit ripped through my body. I was unable to speak once again, and it seemed I had done more damage.
My legs trembled from exhaustion, but I tried to hide it. I stood up tall and desperately tried to speak to all the cats with my eyes, which glittered with desperation.
I didn't want any cat to suffer. Nightflame had to warn his Clan before anyone ate the prey!]
