Chapter one
~I only own the warriors I made up~
I woke to the sound of Brambleclaw calling my name from the entrance to the warriors den. I stretched and padded over to where he sat.
"We need you on the morning patrol. Moonfire, Cinderheart, and Lionblaze will accompany you." He said before padding off. He really has been a bit different after Squirrelflight confessed her secret at the gathering. I shrugged and sat next to my sister, Moonfire, as the rest of the group got ready to leave. After a minute or two of everybody coming together we headed off. I felt chills going down my spine at the tension between Cinderheart and Lionblaze. I tasted the air and smiled.
"I think it's going to rain." I looked at Moonfire. She frowned at my facial expression.
"I don't know how in the name of starclan you could li ke rain Wolfpelt." She said. I laughed but quickly stopped and turned at the sound of other cats.
"What are you doing on windclan territory?" A voice growled at me. I turned around to see Breezpelt, who was accompanied by Crowfeather, Tawnpelt, and Heathertail on a patrol.
"Were not on your territory, were still tail lengths away!" She growled back. Breezepelt crouched down about to pounce when Lionblaze jumped in.
"Breezpelt, there is no need for blood to be spilled over a misunderstanding. Though Moonfire, Wolfpelt you could have been further away from the border." He said.
"We didn't sent the markers! So maybe if your clan were to keep up with that we wouldn't have been so close to your borders!" Moonfire spat back at them, ignoring Lionblaze. Crowfeather hissed and sprang at my sister. I was about to jump on him when I was pushed to the ground by Breezepelt. I didn't need to think twice before I took action. I quickly kicked his back leg unbalancing him and throwing him to the ground. I felt his claws sink into my shoulder and push me off of him. My vision blurred for a second giving him just the time he needed to spring again. He grabbed his teeth around my neck and bit hard. I choked and coughed up a little bit of blood. I expected him to let go, I knew I was beaten but he just tightened his grip leaving me gasping for air. I let my unsheathed claws glide down him stomach and he loosed his grip giving me just enough time to catch a breath and push him up. I sprang as soon as I felt his teeth let go of my neck. I could feel him on my tail as I ran and jumped strait into the river, crossing it in seconds. He stopped at the bank and looked up at me.
"What are you a fish or a riverclan cat?!" He yowled at me. I took a minute trying to catch my breath.
"What you're too scared of some water to come after me." I smirked. He growled and jumped in. After a few seconds a tide caught him and threw him under. His head began to bobble up and down as he desperately tried to get air. I sighed and jumped in soon grabbing his scruff and began to haul him over to the other bank, but he took me by surprise when he turned around and scratched my flank. He was trying to attack me underwater, that mousebrain. I let go of him and swam up for air. He grabbed my back leg and tried to pull my down. I fell back in backwards all the way to the bottom. He swam after me and I used my back legs to kick him somewhere in the water. I kicked up only to realize that my left back leg was stuck in between two rocks under water. I viciously tried to kick up but was stuck deep. I felt another pelt beside me, desperately preying to starclan it wasn't Breezepelt. I felt teeth bite into my scruff and pull hard. The force pulled my paw out making the cat let go and thrush up quickly. The rocks let go making a larger rock fall over me. I heard a crack and swam up for air. When I hit surface Moonfire immediately grabbed my scruff and hauled me over to shore. I coughed and stood up, only to fall back down from the instant shock of pain in my leg. The windclan patrol had left and I realized everyone had been trying to help me. They helped me up and began walking me back to camp. When we passed the thicket into camp I was surprised and almost fell over when Cinderheart let go on my side. I stumbled only to be caught up by Jayfeather who had his usual vacant look on his face. Firestar immediately hopped down from his den and ran up the patrol to ask what happened, Brambleclaw was right on his tail. While they did that Jayfeather led me over to his den where he sat me down next to Briarlight. Moonfire came in and licked my head as Jayfeather checked my leg. He put something on it them rapped it in cobwebs to stop the bleeding cuts along my leg. He finally finished and look up.
"It's worse than I thought it was when I saw you Wolfpelt." He said. "It's going to take some time to heal, but if it's messed with too much it might not heal at all."
"What do you mean it might not heal?!" Moonfire growled puffing up her fur. I just glanced up at Jayfeather.
"What do you think I meant!" He snapped back
"Moonfire, that's only going to happen if I mess with the break too much, I'll be fine." I said as Moonfire sat down still angry.
"Your right. That's why you'll be staying with briarlight and me for a while." Moonfire growled at him, but didn't argue, she stalked out of the den and I sat down next to Briarlight. After a minute or two I laid down and glanced over at Jayfeather who was sorting out his herbs but glance outside as it began to rain.
