The Three
Prologue:
The wind was howling, and the herbs were moving. A pale grey she-cat came from the shadows of the trees. A glowing moon was up at the skies.
The grey pale she-cat looked worried. Then her ears flattened as she heard a branch crack. The pale grey she-cat turned and saw another cat. "Well, blizzardstar...Aren't you happy?" The cat growled from the shadows. "What do you mean, echowhisker?" Blizzardstar asked. Echowhisker snarled. Blizzardstar jumped of surprise. "Why are you being so aggressive?" Blizzardstar asked.
"I was deputy before you..sister..." Echowhisker growled. "Or shall i ever call you sister again?" Blizzardstar's ears flattened. "What are you talking about?" Blizzardstar said calmly. "You see, I was about to be leader..But no! instead..your mate accused me of someone's death!" Echowhisker snapped. "Who is that someone?" Blizzardstar growled. "well, obviously our father!"
Blizzardstar's eyes widened. "What?! Listen, Echowhisker. It has got to be misunderstanding!" Echowhisker's black-and-white fur bristled. Her green eyes glowed in the dark. "Well, you're obviously jealous of me being leader instead of you!" Blizzardstar growled. "I'm..Not..." Echowhisker growled. Blizzardstar shook her head. "Aren't we sisters? Why should we be jealous over each other?" Blizzardstar asked. Echowhisker's gaze darkened. "You're the one who should be ashamed! You asked Acornclaw to do it for you!" Echowhisker hissed. Blizzardstar narrowed her eyes.
"You dare to hiss at me? Your own leader?" Blizzardstar snarled. "Oh, so you're my leader now, not my sister?!" Echowhisker snapped. "You care more about your mate than your family!"
Blizzardstar yowled. She unsheathed her claws and raked Echowhisker's nose. Blood dripped down Echowhisker's nose. Echowhisker's eyes were staring at Blizzardstar, full of hate. Then Blizzardstar realized what she did. She gasped. "S-Sorry! I just..Got out of control!" Echowhisker's eyes were full of tears. "I knew you always hated your family!" Before blizzardstar could say anything else, Echowhisker ran into the shadows, leaving a tiny pool of blood on the grass. Blizzardstar tried to go, but she stopped herself. "It's useless..." She told herself.
Then she sighed, and quietly walked back to camp.
Blizzardstar sat down, looking at the new kits. "Have you decided a name for her yet?" Blizzardstar asked. Redfeather shook his head. "No,
but..i might have an idea.." The red tom said. "Maybe the tabby she-kit should be..Tigerkit?" Redfeather asked. "What about the other kits, Blizzardstar?" A snow-white queen asked.
"Why should i choose?" Blizzardstar asked. "Maybe-" Blizzardstar could not continue, because a warrior stormed into the nursery and yowled. "Be quiet Flamefoot! The kits are gonna be scared!"
Blizzardstar growled. "Blizzardstar! W-We met some D-Darkclancats at the pine trees!" Blizzardstar's eyes narrowed. "Are you a kit, Flamefoot?" Flamefoot yowled in distress. "Okay! Okay!
calm down! What happened?" Blizzardstar asked. "There was some..weird cats on our pine tree territory..and they told us that..their clan is..Darkclan..." Flamefoot whimpered. Blizzardstar's eyes widened. "WHAT?! But...We have most of the prey there!" Blizzardstar snapped. "Talk to them, not me!" Flamefoot yowled. "Also...there is someone who wants to meet you there.." Blizzardstar's eyes widened. She ran out of the nursery and out the brambles. She could not possibly let a rogue clan take over the pine trees! She has to stop them. She then stopped as she scented some weird smells. She jumped out and gasped. "I thought we could meet again...Sister.." A voice said. Blizzardstar walked towards the cats of darkclan. She stopped. "Echowhisker?!"
She gasped. A black tom with scars on his fur snarled. "More cats are coming, Echo..We should go..." "Echo?! Echowhisker, do you know these cats?" Blizzardstar asked. But the black-and white she-cat only stood still and narrowed her eyes. "Blizzardstar...Why, have you come here to fight?" Echowhisker challenged. Blizzardstar gasped. "You're my sister! I would never fight you!"
Echowhisker rolled her eyes. "Well, apparently, you made this scar.." Echowhisker sat down and took a paw on her muzzle. Now blizzardstar saw it. A bloody scar was shown on Echowhisker's muzzle.
"YOU did this, 'sister'..." Echowhisker spat. "Please, Echowhisker...The medicinecat will sure take a look at the scar-" "REALLY?! After all these moons you say this?!" Echowhisker snarled. "Well, are you really gonna leave the clan just because i clawed you?" Blizzardstar teased. Echowhisker showed hatred in her eyes. She then made a signal with her tail. Blizzardstar gasped as the cats hurled themselves on top of her. She tried to throw them off but they had their claws in her fur. She yowled in pain as many cats slashed her fur. Blood splattered the ground.
Then Blizzardstar felt the cats let go. She turned and saw Acornclaw clawing the darkclan cat. Blizzardstar yowled as she felt claws in her fur. She turned and saw her sister. "This is for the pine trees! Who wins will have them, who retreats will-" She could not continue because Acornclaw slashed her cheek. Blizzardstar's ears flattened. She looked at Acornclaw and Echowhisker fighting. She turned when she felt claws sink into her tail. She Bit the cat and clawed his shoulder. She then stopped as she heard a yowl. She turned just to see Acornclaw fall down. His Throat was bleeding, and he gasped for air. "STOP!" Blizzardstar yowled. The cats stopped fighting and looked at Acornclaw's body. The darkclancats smirked, while some Blizzardclan cats gasped.
Echowhisker licked her bloody claws in satisfaction. Blizzardstar sat down, and looked at Acornclaw's eyes. He struggled to breath and coughed up blood. "Hang on there, Acornclaw! I will get-"
"Not so fast..." Echowhisker said staying in front of Blizzardstar. "Are you retreating?!" Blizzardstar looked at Echowhisker. "N-No! We can return to the fight i just need to-" "No, if you're leaving to get help, then that means that you're retreating..." Echowhisker snapped. "This is how it ends when you love your mate more than your family!" Blizzardstar felt tears in her eyes.
"F-Fine...We're retreating...Take the pines...Just..let me save him." Blizzardstar pleaded. Echowhisker smirked. "Leave then.." Blizzardstar stood up. "We need some time to..grieve..."
"alright, but if my warriors see you and your warriors here then you'll all regret it.." Echowhisker snarled. Then all the darkclancats vanished into the shadows of the pine trees. "Blizzardstar..What did you mean with 'Grieve'?" Vinefang asked. Blizzardstar did not answer. She only looked at the moon. Then she closed her eyes and dipped her head. Only starclan could decide Acornclaw's destiny now.
Hope you liked it! Sorry if it's a little long! .W.
