Gingerpaw peeked out of the apprentice's den, watching the heated conversation. The she-cat kicked Molepaw, who was sleeping, then motioned her to come over. The dust-brown bundle of fur got up and padded up to her sister. "What's going on?" Molepaw mewed, then let out a large yawn. "Just watch." Gingerpaw replied. "Nightwood is really angry." "It looks like Frozensky is, too." "Dad would be a good help right now." "I wonder where he is...?" The two cats sat side-by-side, their eyes and ears alert. When there was something juicy said, the two would whisper for a moment, then go back to watching. "What if we get caught?" Molepaw mewed urgently. "Why does it matter? It's not like we're stealing anything. This is no reason to get in trouble!" "But we are evesdropping..." "Shush." Gingerpaw snapped. "Sorry." "SHUSH." "Sor--" "Be quiet." Molepaw nodded.

Shadedstar hesitated for a long moment before replying to Snowstorm. "It's nothing really... No. That's a bit of a lie. I suppose I'm just getting worried about a few cats. All this argueing and such can't be good for the clan. It's-" He cut himself off and forced a smile. "Sorry for going on and on."

Thornkit shrugged off whatever it was on his mind and realized his pelt was a little dirty. He shook off the dirt and turned back to Shardkit and Frozensky. He agreed with Frozensky in that it was too early for yelling. "Now I'm awake, and can't go back to sleep." he mumbled, getting a little irritated. He looked at Frozensky. "Would you like me to go and get you something to eat?" he asked the she-cat.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Snowstorm curled her tail around her paws and listened to Shadestar. She nodded, agreeing with him, actually wanting him to go on. "I may be going further than I should with this, but who are you worried about?" she questioned, her eyes deep with concern. "Please, continue, I don't mind listening. We all need someone to listen to every now and then." she meowed, a small smile appearing on her face.

Shadedstar sighed and stared at Snowstorm. "Perhaps I'm just being paranoid, but doesn't it seem like our warriors aren't getting along as well as they should? I've had a bit of a bad feeling lately and I worried that something might happen to Shadowclan. Just think, if some stranger comes along right now it probably wouldn't be too hard to break us apart." He shook his head in an attempt to clear his mind of disturbing thoughts. "It's probably just me though."

Snowstorm listened to the leader intently, making sure she didn't miss anything he was saying. "I see." she said after Shadestar had finished.
"I will have to agree with you. Tension seems to be running high these days. And you are right, another clan could come in and completely destroy us. I guess we aren't suppose to always understand what was going on, but it sure would be helpful if we knew what was to come. " the white she-cat replied.

Shadedstar glanced up at the sky. "Maybe I'll go out hunting." He said to himself. He had been acting stranger than usual the last few days. Something just didn't feel right and he hoped it didn't have anything to do with the brothers Ravenwing and Hawkwing. He turned back to Snowstorm as if he just realised she was there. "Would you like to come with me?"

Snowstorm was busy thinking about all that Shadedstar had just said to her. What would happen if a clan didattack? What would be the outcome of that battle? How much of ShadowClan would survive? She needed to stop thinking about so many questions.
"Huh?" she replied, half-hearing the leader. "Hunting? Sure, I guess, if you don't mind company." she said, adding the last part quickly.

Shadedstar nodded and began padding towards the camp exit. He was taking his time, almost as if he were scared to abandon his clan just to hunt. Deep in his mind a little voice was asking, "Why are you getting so worked up? It's just a few arguments between clanmates. It happens." But speaking even louder, a more cautious voice was trying to convince him otherwise. "Shadedstar, watch out for them. It's your job to protect them." He just couldn't decide which one to listen to. Perhaps it was better to be carefull.

Snowstorm stood to follow Shadedstar, but stopped and looked towards the sky. Was her sister watching over her? Why was she thinking about her sister now? She smiled as she thought of all the times she had spent with her sister. The two were inseperable, and always insisted on training together. She shook the thought off then followed after the leader.
She worried about him, all of this couldn't be good for him. She sighed and looked at him. "Just remember I am behind you no matter what." she said softly.

"Yes, go," said Frozensky lazily, flipping a paw toward the exit of the nursery. She didn't bother to say whether she wanted food or just wanted the cat gone, figuring either was fine. Then again, she doubted Shadedstar would much appreciate her kicking a cat out of the nursery.
"And don't take your time about it," she added, praising herself on her recovery.
After a glance at his mother, Shardkit rose to his feet and walked to the entrance of the nursery. "Coming?" he asked Thornkit, glancing back over his shoulder at the other cat.

Thornkit looked at Frozensky, wondering what was on the she-cat's mind. After a few moments he gave up that idea, he would never understand her, or so he thought. He nodded as he was given permission to go. "Thank you." he said, happy that he was able to just go and get out, even if it would only be a little while.
"I won't. I'll be as quick as I can." he added. He didn't want to find out what would happen if he took his time. He got onto his paws and followed Shardkit's lead. "Yeah. I'm coming." he said, going out of the nursery. "The fun part is seeing what there is to eat." Thornkit said with a slight smile.

With a loud sigh, the large cat padded back into camp, and there was no trace of Lightstep anywhere. He warily looked at the other cats, then, with his tail drooped and paws lagging, he went to the fresh-kill pile. He picked out a small squirrel, then Blackclaw went to the other side of camp to eat alone. Where could she be? She said she was 'with the' something. StarClan? No, I cannot think that way. She is alive! he thought, chewing.
Gingerpaw blinked as her father passed by their den. "What's up with father?" she mewed to her sister, whiskers twitching anxiously. "I dunno, he looks kinda sad." Molepaw shrugged. "Come to think of it, I haven't seen mother yet this morning. Do you think--" "No! Mother is fine! Be quiet, you don't know anything!" the orange she-cat batted her sister on the head. Molepaw is wrong! Wrong, wrong, wrong! She thought.

Shadedstar couldn't think of any way to reply to Snowstorm so he focused on the hunt. He caught Ravenwing's scent, then his brothers. They obviously went somewhere together. Maybe they had planned the fight as a way to get away from everyone without being bothered. He found his mind wandering again.
Ravenwing and Hawkwing hadn't planned the argument, but they were together. They were walking side by side along the border, not talking or even seeming to acknowledge one another.
Nightwood had wandered off on her own. She decided to hunt something while she was out but found herself at the camp entrance. She had somehow gone in a giant circle, ending right where she started. Feeling too lazy to turn around and head out again, she slipped into Shadowclan camp. She saw Blackclaw sitting alone and something hit her like a stone. Lightstep hadn't been seen in a while. Nightwood approached the tom and sat down next to him. "Any idea where Lightstep is? I'm supposing you don't since she isn't here but I thought I'd ask. For all I know she could have wanted time alone." [/size]

He raised his head and shook it, turning to the Clan leader. "No," he mewed. "I looked for her this morning, but I couldn't find her." Blackclaw then looked at his paws. "If she is dead, I did not find her body, or any signs of blood or any clues. It seems she just vanished."
