The colors entrance me in their beauty. Amazed by how the earth could create such beautiful colors, I wonder what they are.

"I call them colorstones," a voice calls out. I whip my head around and see Hollyspeck eyeing me. "What? Did you really expect you to be the first one to find them?"

I bristle, and Hollyspeck smirks. "What are you doing here?" I growl. I know she's bad news; she always is.

"I believe the question is," Hollyspeck narrows her eyes, "what are you doing here?"

In disbelief, I roll my eyes. "Like you totally didn't see me fall down that hole. Anyway, since you are here, I have some questions to ask you."

Hollyspeck meows, "What kind of questions?"

"Why did you join my clan? Why did you beat down Nightshade? Why are you always acting so suspiciously? Who are you, and what do you want with my clan?" I snarl.

Hollyspeck bristles up really fast, and snaps, "It's none of your business!"

Hollyspeck moves closer to me. I back away slowly.

"Well, I'm not so sure it's 'none of my business'. You seem to be doing something you shouldn't!"

"Get out of here!"

Hollyspeck runs into one of the passageways, leaving me to sit in the room alone. Unsure of which way to go, I pick a passageway. It leads me to a dead end, so I pick another route.

After a while, I find a tunnel that leads up to an area near camp. I wonder again why we never found any of these tunnels before I fell.

"SILVERSTAR!!!!!" Snowbreeze rushes toward me, a feeling of mixed confusion and excitement on her face. "Where have you been? Oh, I was worried because everyone kept saying that you just sat down for a nap, but you were gone, and so was Hollyspeck!!!-" she quiets her voice to a whisper-"we all know Hollyspeck doesn't belong here, and that no one should trust her. She's too dangerous. It's one of the big topics in the clan."

I put my tail on her back in assurance. "I'm alright, she didn't harm me-"

"SO HOLLYSPECK DID ATTACK YOU DIDN'T SHE?!?!?!?!?!"

"No...I actually fell down a hole from where I was sitting, and found a system of tunnels under where we live. Hollyspeck for some reason was in fact in the tunnels at the same time, and she found me, but she didn't attack me, and nothing happened. Now, please tell the clan that she didn't attack me because although she is dangerous, there really is no need for a stupid little rumor like that to find it's way around the clan." I reply.

Snowbreeze just looks at me and says, "Oh." Her face lightens up suddenly. "Silverstar, there is something really important though! It's Tempestclaw. He's-"

"AWAKE?!" I exclaim.

Ok, I'm so sorry for updating so late. I guess I'm just lazy and haven't gotten around to writing another chapter. I promise I will try to update more often!
