The DarkClan cats hissed, IceHeart drew his lips back in a snarl, ScarPelt's fur spiked, EmberFang dug his claws into the mud and prepared for battle, but AppleTail was calm. She stepped forward, her light gray pelt like smoke in the shadows, the cat dipped her head respectfully to the warriors in front of her. "Ah. You must be warriors from ShadeClan. Good. I have come to retreave your medicine cat ShineHeart. She is needed in our clan." AppleTail stayed calm even though the looks on the enemy cat's faces got angrier, "Why do you need her?" A big tom asked. "Because she is needed. I am a medicine cat and so is she, if we need help then we don't need to tell nosy warriors what our business is, we just go." She started to lose her temper a bit. Another tom stepped up, his white and gray pelt showing through the mud covering his fur, "Then you must speak to the leader." His young voice rang clear, AppleTail nodded, "Then lead the way, if I must ask the leader for permission then I will. But I will tell him to keep his nosy warriors out of other cats' business." She said with a hint of threat. The tom just mrrowed with laughter, "No need. He is already here." He paused before continuing, "I am GrayStar. Formally GrayPelt; I just became leader. It is an honor to meet you..." He waited for a name, "AppleTail." She said, "Ah yes, AppleTail." He said slyly. AppleTail looked confused, "Yes you may take my medicine cat, but please bring her back safely." He finished, then lead all the cats back to their camp. AppleTail, ShineHeart, EmberFang, ScarPelt, and IceHeart all headed back to LightClan territory. The DarkClan cats didn't even care that their medicine cat had left, IceHeart guessed it was because she was the only bright spirited cat in the whole clan.
*time skip two moons*
Ever since ShineHeart had come to the clan, AppleTail had been acting weird. She would go out to collect herbs more often and didn't come back around her usual time, so IceHeart had to take matters into his own paws. AppleTail had just left to go gather herbs, and IceHeart was going to follow her, to find out what was up. He knew she wasn't herself, she had gotten fat and smelled funny, for all he knew she could have been sick. As he followed the medicine cat's scent trail through the now almost dead foliage, IceHeart could hear soft voices up ahead. "I love you." meowed a tom, "This is wrong. I'm a medicine cat. I shouldn't be with you, and I shouldn't be having your kits either. No one can find out. No one. Promise me." It was AppleTail speaking. The tom took a second to reply, "Of course AppleTail. Anything to keep you and our kits safe. But what will you say to the clan?" He seemed a little concerned. IceHeart stalked forward as quiet as he could, until he could see the white and gray pelt of the tom that AppleTail was talking to. 'GrayStar!' He thought, and in a second he tripped over a twig and fell face first into the grass in the small clearing where the other cats were. "IceHeart!" AppleTail threw a worried glance at GrayStar, he returned it, "How could you AppleTail? You not only betrayed your clan, but you betrayed your ancestors by breaking the medicine cat code! Those kits are forbidden!" He yowled at her and she flattened her ears on her head. "I know. I shouldn't have. But I couldn't help it." she said, sorrow and regret and grief filled her eyes. "I'm sorry." She said again and again, while GrayStar didn't say a word. IceHeart growled at the tom, "Leave our territory and never come back!" He hissed at GrayStar, GrayStar dipped his head. He got up and looked at AppleTail, "Please take care of her. You will won't you?" He asked, the leader's gaze flashed with grief, IceHeart hissed, "If StarClan will approve of these kits then yes. I will protect her. But if not she doesn't exist to anyone anymore." He watched the leader say his goodbyes and run back over the border, IceHeart turned to AppleTail. "Come. We must see if StarClan will accept these kits. We are heading to the whispering stone." He meowed to the medicine cat, she followed him through the trees and bushes and valleys, until they reached the cave for the whispering stone. IceHeart could already hear uncertain whispers, and guessed this wasn't going to end well. As they padded through the maze of passage ways AppleTail suddenly started mumbling behind IceHeart. He couldn't hear her, but he could tell it was the silent pleas for acceptance. Soon enough they reached the main cave, it was smooth all the way around the walls, the rock it was made out of reflected the light of the moon, and in the center of the cave was a small little pool of sparkling water. A stream trickled down into that pool, and it drained from beneath, only a small crack in the roof would let the moon light in. And as if on cue, the moon shown overhead, it's light shining down into the cave and lighting it like the night sky had come to life down on Earth. AppleTail and IceHeart slowly walked over to the pool and layed down next to it, soon drifting away into sleep.

Writer's note:
Ooh another cliff hanger. Sorry I just thought this was a good place to stop. You will get to know if the kits are accepted or not. You can also comment what you want to happen, like if you want the kits to be rejected then say so down in the comments. But I might not listen. Enjoy and Chapter Five is coming soon.
