So heres the second chapter hope you guys like!
Frostpaw woke to the comforting scent and warm fur of Ferntangle. She was Rowanpaw and Mosspaw's mother, but she had taken care of him for the two moons before he became an apprentice after his mother died of greencough, so she was like his second mother. She liked his ear, "So nice of you to join us." She mewed. Ferntangle was a fierce warrior, and being a queen, and nurturing were not her natural strong point, all though she was a good mother. Frostpaw knew she'd never have any more kits, her place was in the warrior's den and in the forest, on the battle field.
"You're a mess. Try to clean yourself up a bit. I have to go on a hunting patrol." She said, and licked his ear before she went. Frostpaw glanced at his pelt, it was beginning to come clean again thanks to Rowanpaw and Mosspaw. He looked over at Blacktide, he was laid on his flank with his damage leg arrange at a careful angle. Frostpaw stood slowly and padded over upon meeting the tom's gaze.
"Frostpaw… you're alright?" he asked quietly.
"Yeah. How are you feeling, Blacktide?" Frostpaw asked.
"Tired, in pain." His eyes fell passed Frostpaw, and the white cat caught scent of Featherstar.
"Good you're awake. Drizzlewhisker." Featherstar summoned the medicine cat.
"Yes? Oh, Blacktide, good." He mewed, and padded over.
"So, what happened?" Featherstar asked his deputy.
"Pshshhhh," Drizzlewhisker said in protest, flicking his leader in the shoulder with his tail. "He's barely conscience, no interrogations!" he said firmly. Featherstar looked as if he wanted to argue, but cats just do not argue with Drizzlewhisker, and that included Featherstar.
"I'm alright Drizzlewhisker." Blacktide rasped. Drizzlewhisker looking him over carefully.
"Frostpaw, lay back down." He mewed as he nudged Featherstar a little more than a tail length back from Blacktide, "stay at least this far away. That sounds like the beginnings of greencough, and it is around that time of season… it could also just be a dry throat…" he stated, as he padded over to the little pool in his den and soaked some moss in water. He brought it back over to Blacktide, as Frostpaw sat in his nest, and laid it before the deputy.
Blacktide took a few laps off it then looked to Featherstar, "A flash flooded swept by as I was bringing the sunhigh patrol back, it snagged Frostpaw, I went in after him and that all I can really remember. Except…" he trailed off.
"Except what?" Featherstar prompted.
"I'm starting to think it was a dream… but I remember feeling paws help me cough up the water I breathed in, then when I opened my eyes I swore it was Frostpaw, but the cat said that his name was Ravenpaw, and I realized he had amber eyes instead of blue…" Blacktide told them.
'Ravenpaw? So he has heard the name too, but who is it? Where did I hear it?' Frostpaw thought to himself. Featherstar turned to him.
"Did you see anyone?" he asked.
"No, I didn't wake up until Ferntangle, Drizzlewhisker and Silverstorm found us." The white tom replied, still trying to remember anyone named Ravenpaw.
"Alright…" Featherstar mewed.
" Now go and let my cats rest." Drizzlewhisker insisted. After a moment the tabby tom, stood and padded out, just as Stormpaw, an older apprentice and Blackfire's came in carrying three mice.
"I brought these for you and Blacktide and Frostpaw, Drizzlewhisker." He said around their tails.
"Ah, thank you, Stormpaw. I'll take them. These two are on quarantine until I know they're not sick." The grey tabby informed.
Stormpaw nodded and shot a glance at Blacktide, as he turned to leave Blacktide called him back, "Stormpaw, ask Silverstrom to take you out for battle training, sense he won't be busy with Frostpaw today." He said, Stormpaw nodded and padded off. Frostpaw watched him go, Stormpaw was a bit older than him and was the clan's prodigy, which is why he is the Deputy's apprentice. He'd shown promise back when he was just a kit. Frostpaw remembed watching him at around three moons old as five moon old Stormkit easily took down moths one summer evening. If Featherstar and Blacktide weren't so young, there would be talk of him being the next deputy or even leader.
"I have appointed Silverstorm to take on your duties for the next few days, until you feel better." Featherstar told him. Silverstorm was one of the most respected warriors and all the four clans, but he had no desire for power what so ever and Featherstar knows this, and so he chose the next best choice; Blacktide.
"Yeah, about that…" Drizzlewhisker mewed, "Your leg is broken pretty badly… its going to take a while to heal, and it probably will never be perfect again…" his normally sarcastic tone was missing as he said this to the ThunderClan deputy.
"What are you saying?" Blacktide asked.
"I am saying that you will not fully recover from this." The grey tom responded.
Frostpaw felt a wave of shock then guilt ripple through him, this was his fault, the black tom though, merely swallowed and nodded in understanding, "At least it wasn't for nothing." His blue eyes flickered to Frostpaw, there was no anger in them, just affection for his nephew.
Frostpaw averted his gave and curled back up, wanting this terrible guilt to leave him as he reached for a sleep that came, eventually.
I felt a paw shake my shoulder, waking me. I rose my head to meet a pair of painfully familiar blue eyes. "Bluestar?" I mewed.
"Hello, Ravenpaw." The blue grey she cat mewed.
"Whats… going on?" I asked.
"StarClan has decided to give you the opertunity of another chance, if you choose to accept that is. If you accept this opportunity then you will be pitted against things you did not cface as a clan cat. And if you succeed, you will be granted alife at a cat of ThunderClan." She explained. Ravenpaw stared un abled to believe was getting another chance!
"I accept." He mewed.
"Alright then, you've already woken in the body of another cat, Frostpaw. We used you to save him from death, because it is not his time. You will continue to share with him until you have earned your own body." She told him.
He nodded in understanding, "Then go." She said, touching her not to his forehead, an with that everything went black.
