Chapter 44 (cont)

Leaving in an hour, so let's bang this out!

@Ranger: Thank you! Darky's one of my favorites, and I often wish that I had more time to explore his character. Good guesses for Rabbitleap. :D

@Sharkfin: Thank you! I'm glad you think so highly of the story. :)

@Juniper: Yep, both kits are a little tough to love at the beginning, but you've stuck it out, so that's good. And yes, ha, a lot of people were expecting Chilly to be a POV. I love messing with you guys. c:

@Lynxeye: Spidey's definitely moving up in the world, ha. As for the chilling disease, it can be passed through contact, but the quickest way it's transferred seems to be in battle (since the sick cats caught it from TalonClan/Chillpaw). Forestheart's been in battle, and it's possible that he's already sick. He might not have contracted it in the battle, but could have gotten it from Silverstar, in which case it would take time for the effects to be shown, because the disease moves so slowly. As for the cars, you might be surprised. I can't tell you how many dead cats I've seen at the cross-sections of our little town, which was kind of an inspiration for that scene. People can be cruel. D:

@Dawnshine: Thanks, I do love cliffies. ^^

@Echoflight: Thank you! I didn't really have a date to prom, I just went with a good friend of mine (we dated in the past, so perhaps that counts?). It was a lot of fun, I had a great time!

@Jack Holmes: Thanks!

@Sunspirit: Well, perhaps I'll do it in Flying High (my parody fic, if you didn't already know). Sounds like a fun topic to explore, actually. Good point with the Forest thing, I hadn't even thought of that. Darky and Forest are both a lot alike in that sense, I suppose; it took them a long time and a lot of pursuing to get the ladies they fancied. And yeah, Spidey's apology was a little awkward, but he's just not used to being so humble! xD

@Jack Holmes: Ha, thank you very much. Chilled and Shattered are both huge mountains to climb, and I'm glad you liked it enough to give it a go. I know the length intimidates some people...I guess I just love long stories. I'm glad you enjoyed it thus far, and good luck with your own fics!

@Juniper: Yes, both of them have matured quite a bit already, although they still have quite a lengths to go. Thank you. :)

Welp, that's all for Chapter 43. Again, sorry for the wait. Until next time~!

Chapter 44

Okay, hopefully I can get this all done now because if not it might take days.

Tonight I graduate, followed by eating with my grandparents, which is in turn followed by Project Graduation, which is basically when the seniors sleep over at the high school and win prizes and play games and generally act like children. So Saturday will probably just be me sleeping.

Anyway, sorry updates have been sparse. Chilled is almost a year old now, but far smaller than Shattered, which is kind of depressing. Senior year has proven to be much busier than junior year, I'm afraid. Over the summer I might have to seek a job (gasp!) plus moving to college and everything, so I'm not sure how things will go. I really hope to finish Chilled before I move to college, because there's no telling what that will be like.

Bah, this sounds depressing. Moving on.

@Honeystream: Thank you for being the first! I know a lot of people are too busy to review, but sometimes it can be a little depressing when the Viewers number rises and the Reviews number stagnates. Anyway, I think the idea of Sootpaw being alone is pretty interesting. I do like independent lady-folk, but for some reason I always end up pairing them up anyway (Blackheart/Darkstar, Frostfeather/Darkstorm, etc.). I guess I just want everyone to be happy by finding love, haha. As for Blackfeather, she might have been talking about Spidey. It's amazing how oblivious he can be about stuff like that, considering how sharp he is with other details. And by all means, write a Black/Spider one-shot, if you want! That's always extremely flattering. I understand missing some of the older characters. That's why I always hated reading sequels; they're always about the new generation instead of the old. Perhaps more of my one-shots in the future can feature kitties like Ravenwing or Frostfeather.

Whoops, looks like I'm running  out of time. I'll get to the rest of the reviews ASAP!
