Hey, guys. Sorry about the lull between updates. Spider wasn't cooperating and things were kinda jumbled there for a bit. Still not entirely happy with the chapter, but ah well.
Anyway!
@Jack Holmes: Thank you, glad you enjoyed the chapter. It's a little hard to believe that Chilled's even longer than Shattered now, but kind of exciting, too. :)
@Sara Darkotter: Aww, thank you. I appreciate it. ^^
@samredlamb: Thanks, glad you liked it!
@MatsuriWolfsong: Thank you. I'm sorry if I made you sad. D:
@Ranger of the Forest: Swanpaw's pretty loyal to her Clan, but we don't get to see that often. Thistle is being a pretty big jerk, but he's anxious about his mother (in some ways he feels responsible for her) and wants to get home ASAP. He was never counting on the journey being this long, and Rabbit will slow it down even more. A Soot/Spider duke-out would be pretty awesome. :D
@justsmile: Well, if she did start yelling at Chilly through her mind, some of that anger would probably leak out in her expression and she might even start growling in real life, which would obviously unnerve her journey-mates. If she's going to confront him, it'll be in a dream, where she won't risk exposing herself to anyone else.
@Dawnshine: I'm sorry. Maybe things will turn out okay?
@Lynxeye: Oh noes, don't pull a Shimmerfrost. The journeying cats could have their own story, maybe, if it wasn't so closely tied to this one. There would certainly be enough action, what with the multiple deaths/almost deaths, and all. Half of them don't even have names, though. xD Rabbit could leave the group, but in doing so she would also be taking at least one good resource (Sage) with her, and probably another of the group (Swanpaw) with her, which would weaken them if they were attacked again, not to mention that, as Sage said, within two weeks or so she'll be too large to move (strenuous activity could pose dangerous to the kits, so if she did keep walking she would have to be careful and rest often, which means she wouldn't get far). At this point, it wouldn't be possible for her to reach the Clan before kitting. She'd probably end up somewhere near Adder's old territory, which would of course be dangerous. For right now, staying with the group is her best bet.
@TheVioletGleek: I already mentioned the Angel/Lune stuff in a PM (timelines don't match up, although it would be cool). Heehee, every time anyone says ERMAGAWD or some variation thereof, I can't help but think of the Fancy Feast cat picture thingy. So cute. Anyway, we'll just have to see how Silverstar's pregnancy goes! :)
@Snowlight: Wow, that is a lot of reviews. Thank you! I'm sure it's daunting to review every chapter, but I appreciate it. I'm glad you're enjoying the story so far. Prowling the Clans used to be posted here, but I took it down after I realized I'd never finish it. It resides on deviantART now, where my username is Prin-Pardus. You can read it if you want, but it's not very good. xD
@WillowBurn: Thanks, glad you liked it!
@Cinderstar: This story is secretly all about breaking Silverstar down, haha. :p Not really, but it seems that way sometimes.
That's all for now. Thank you guys for your continued support! <3
