Adderfern leapt down the ravine and licked Mistykit rapidly. "Where's Blackkit?!" Nightwing asked looking around frantically. "Blackkit!" She called.

"Night....... Wing........." Blackkit's familiar voice whispered. The moss under him was soaked with red. Adderfern grabbed Mistykit by her scruff and leapt back up the ravine. She gave the she-cat to Pebblestar to watch.

"Featherwhisker." Adderfern flicked her tail at the ravine. "Herbs?"

The medicine cat followed her to the ravine and Tawnypaw followed, they both held a leaf bundle of herbs. Adderfern scrambled back up the ravine and Pebblestar sat there wrapping his tail protectively around Mistykit.

Stonestar's POV so interesting and exciting!
---

"Twoleg house?" Stonestar was sitting under an overhang in the rock wall. He sent out four patrols to find shelters. They each came back with ideas. "Abandoned? We aren't camping in an abandoned Twoleg nest!" He hissed. Silverstripe had reported a broken Twoleg nest not far off. Hawktail said there was a cave under an overhang up ahead. The Thunderclan leader was thinking about sending another patrol to scout ahead and make sure they won't be sleeping with badgers and foxes. The clans were murmuring amongst themselves. The only other sound was the faint rustle of leaves in the leaf fall breeze and water dripping off the overhang. The leader curled his tail over his paws neatly. Pebblestar was sitting next to him and Violetstar was sprawled out next to Redstar. He looked around. Where should we go after this? He asked himself. Wasn't there a moorland, a marsh, a river, and a forest close by? He rose to his paws. "Let's get going." He meowed to the other leaders. Violetstar rolled onto the stomach and stretched her hind legs. Pebblestar rose to his paws too.

"Now?" Redstar asked. "It's almost sundown! We'll never reach the cave in time." He protested. Violetstar shot him a glare and instantly he had a cheesy smile on his face and he said, "Let's go!"

Pebblestar rolled his eyes and padded next to the Thunderclan leader. They leapt onto the overhang and sat down. "Cats of all clans, we have an announcement! First, we will be going soon, eat now. Second, I remembered there was a moor, marsh, river, and forest close by." The leader called. The cats murmured excitedly. Ripplekit squealed with excitement, apprentices bounced around and Warriors cheered. Violetstar raised her tail to silence them. The cheers and murmurs died down and the cats all sat back down. "We will camp in a cave not far off until the clans are fed and the scouts," he flicked his tail at a group of cats, "check the areas for new camps." He finished.

"When will we leave the cave?" A warrior called out. The cats around him started chatting about it.

"When the scouts come back and we have camps found." Redstar meowed.

"What about the kits? Is the cave safe? No cliffs? No foxes or badgers?" Dawnfeather, the Riverclan medicine cat asked worriedly.

"Yes the cave is safe." Hawktail meowed leaping onto the ledge. He acted like he was a leader.

Stonestar flicked his ears warning Hawktail to get down. "May I speak please?" He asked the leaders.

They all huddled and whispered, Violetstar hissed, "why should he speak? He's a warrior! He's not even deputy." The other leaders nodded in agreement.

"Agreed." Redstar whispered.

"Tell him to get down." Pebblestar ordered Stonestar.

The grey tabby turned around to face Hawktail. "Go join your other clan mates." He told the brown tom.

Hawktail leapt down and sat where he was. He looked up and faced the leaders. "May I speak from down here?" He asked.

"Leaders?" Stonestar whispered turning to face them. They all nodded. "You may." Stonestar meowed looking at the tabby tom.

Hawktail stood up and turned around to face the clans. "I would just like to point out, I would never say there was a cave to camp in if it was unsafe. I wouldn't harm a kit, elder, or warrior, even from another clan." He meowed.

Stonestar heard a grunt or two from the cats. "Yeah right." He heard a cat say. "I have seen him kill a Riverclan apprentice in battle." The other cat whispered. Stonestar stood back up. "Enough." He hissed. He leapt off the rock and flicked his tail. "I need to speak with senior Warriors." He called over his shoulder. Thistlepelt, Sandpelt, Redclaw, and Bluestorm followed him into a small dip in the stone, far from the other cats.

Mistykit POV
---

Mistykit ran after Redkit, he sprinted up a narrow slope. She followed him. Redkit leapt over a tiny crack in the rock. Mistykit slid to a halt and then walked over it avoiding falling. "Give me my mouse!" She hissed running faster, she slowed down as they neared a huge crack in the ledge. "Don't jump it Redkit." She warned him.

"I'll be fine. There's a pool of water under me, if I fall I won't die." He said rolling his eyes.

"I really think it's a bad idea...." She muttered.

"Shut up mousebrain!" He hissed backing up. "I can do it!" He sprinted and when he reached the edge he pushed off and flew through the air. He reached with his tiny paws for the edge. "Help!" He started plummeting towards the pool of green blue water.

"Redkit!" She yowled. She sprinted towards the end of the trail they took skidding and sliding as she tried to make a sharp turn. She scrambled to her paws and started running again. The fall was really high and the slope was steep so she hoped she'd make it before him. She looked up and didn't see him. "I hope I'm not to late!" She yowled running even faster. She skidded to a halt at the pool. "Red kit?" She called.

"Up here!" A familiar voice called from above. She looked up and saw Redkit on a pile of soft fluffy moss on a ledge. "There's a cave up here. I will see if there's a tunnel. Check down there!" He called down disappearing.

Mistykit padded along the rock wall and she stopped when she saw a black, tiny tunnel. "Yes!" She yowled bounding over to it. She squeezed into it and started climbing the steep slope up. She tripped over her paws a few times before she reached the top. Her eyes grew wide as she saw what was in front of her. She gasped not knowing what to do and Redkit stood next to her mouth gaping open. "Redkit? You see what I see right?" She asked him quietly.
