Fireheart's Day Off
One day in the midst of Thunderclan, all the warriors and apprentices were busy with their clan duties. While all of this was happening Bluestar came up to Fireheart and told "why don't you take the day off, you've been working so hard lately, ill have Whitestorm cover for you" "thanks" said Fireheart. He decided to go out and enjoy the sunshine, before he left he went up to Sandstorm and asked her if she would like to come with him. "I could use a break" she said, but before they reached the gorse tunnel, Cinderpelt came up to them and said "where are you going Fireheart" "were going to enjoy our day by taking a walk through Thunderclan territory" said Fireheart. "well while your out could you bring me some mint, my den is smelling rancid for some reason and I would sure appreciate it" said Cinderpelt "sure, ill bring you some if I find any, but I've heard its hard to find" said Fireheart, Cinderpelt simply said "don't worry im sure you'll find some" and with that she hobbled back to her den. Once they finally left camp they headed towards Sunning Rocks to lay down for a sun bath. Once they got there they lay down but only to find out that the place reeked of Shadowclan. So they decided to investigate. Fireheart quietly crept through the tall grass and motioned with a flick of his tail for Sandstorm to follow. They reached a tall oak with a hole under the roots. The Shadowclan scent was strongest here. So they quietly and cautiously peeked inside to find that an entire patrol lay on their sides motionless except for the gentle movements of their sides rising. As quick as they could Fireheart and Sandstorm raced back to camp to tell Bluestar of their discovery. Fireheart ran to her den and said a quick greeting then went inside. Bluestar lay with her paws tucked under her chest as if she were expecting him. So Fireheart told her quickly of what they had found, as soon as he was done he noticed a quick change in Bluestar's mood. Her hackles raised her claws were unsheathed and the only emotion in her eyes was anger. "surely Tigerclaw sent some of his followers to kill me" she spat "but they were Shadowclan not rogues" Fireheart tried to reason " cant you see, he's trying to trick you into believing their Shadowclan so we'll attack them and leave Thunderclan wide open for attack, if you cant see that then you're a fool Fireheart" she spat at him. Fireheart saw that there was no way of getting through to her so he left. Fireheart and Sandstorm decided to go back to the oak. But when they got there the Shadowclan cats were gone and their scent was now stale. It just so happened that in the tree there was a bush of mint so Fireheart and Sandstorm grabbed a mouthful and went back to camp. When they got to the tunnel they met up with Cinderpelt "it's about time, I've been waiting forever, but thanks, that was a nice thing you did for me, and on your day off to" "your welcome" said Sandstorm, " it's nothing, really" said Fireheart. "Oh my gosh it's almost moonhigh" said Fireheart astonished! So he and Sandstorm went into their den, shared tongues, then went to bed curled up next to each other. AND THAT'S WHAT HEPPENED ON FIREHEART'S DAY OFF!!!
