Hey guys! If you couldn't notice, I'm not giving up! Everyone, have some cookies!

(::) (::) (;:) This one's chip is melting, so you better get it fast!

Ravenpaw wandered the halls alone, his black pelt hiding is form in the complete and utter darkness. Elsewhere, there was a river thundering, trying to break free of its limits.

Where is everybody? Ravenpaw wondered to himself. Oh, they must've gotten lost. Mouse-brains.

"Ravenpaw!" a voice sounded from a distance.

"Hello!" the black tom called off into the distance.

"Hello," a voice answered, right behind him.

"Who?" Ravenpaw whirled around, only to face a tom of the same color.

"Hello, Ravenpaw," the black warrior chuckled.

"Breezepaw?"

"Breezepelt," the warrior corrected.

Uh-oh, better run. Ravenpaw ran. And ran. And ran somemore in the direction of the voice.

"Where are you going?" Breezepelt easily caught up with Ravenpaw.

"Somewhere else," the apprentice dashed away.

"Wait," the warrior commanded.

Ravenpaw didn't stop.

"This is all for naught," Breezepelt ran a little bit to keep within Ravenpaw's hearing range.

That caused the apprentice to stop. "Why?"

"Because they're dead," the warrior stated in his most convincing tone.

"No, they aren't!" Ravenpaw argued.

"Join me, Ravenpaw," Breezepelt's tone turned to persuading.

"Never!"

"We have room for you in our lines,"

"No!" Ravenpaw yelled.

"Oh well," Breezepelt launched his attack.

-

Oakpaw had his ear pressed up against the wall. No, seriously, he did.

"What are you listening for?" Bluepaw hissed.

"Life signs," the tom stated.

"Where did the others go?" the she-cat asked.

"They branched off from us somehow," Oakpaw answered.

"Where could they have gone?"

"In one of the trailing tunnels by accident."

"Well, let's go find them," Bluepaw turned on her paw.

Rolling his eyes, Oakpaw followed his mate to the end of the world.

They didn't notice Whitepaw and Hollypaw.

"What gives?" Hollypaw growled as she was crashed into.

"Is that you, Hollypaw?" Bluepaw asked.

"Yes, Bluepaw," the black she-cat's voice was devoid of any emotion.

"We need to find the others," Whitepaw stated.

"What do you think we've been doing?" Hollypaw, Bluepaw and Oakpaw stared at him.

"Never mind,"

"Let's just go," Hollypaw lead the way. "Find any trace of cat."

A LITTLE BIT LATER...

"Hollypaw!" Oakpaw hissed.

"What? Find something?" Hollypaw looked over her shoulder from across the cavern they were searching.

"Cat scent. I can't distinguish who it is." the tom gave his report.

The black she-cat strode across the cavern to where Oakpaw was standing. "No..." she said once she sniffed it.

"What is it? What?" Bluepaw asked.

"I thought he went to StarClan with me." Hollypaw had tears in her eyes. "Why would he be here, in the tunnels?"

"Who is it?" Whitepaw hissed.

"...Fallen Leaves..." Hollypaw whispered.
