An Old Flame Renewed
Chapter 1:
"Ugh." Fireheart groaned. He rolled over on his nest. Fireheart blinked open his eyes and stared confused at the roof of the Warrior's Den. Then it all came flooding back. Fireheart leaped to his feet with surprising ease. He grinned, he felt great! Fireheart stepped out of the den and stopped. The scene before him was breath taking. In front of him sat the old ThunderClan camp, just as he remembered it.
Dustpaw walked up beside him. "Fireheart, Tigerclaw needs to speak with Bluestar. He's scented ShadowClan on our territory near the Thunderpath."
Memories of Cinderpaw's accident flooded into Fireheart's mind. They took his breath away. "Holy StarClan." He breathed.
"What?" Dustpaw asked.
"Nothing." Fireheart said quickly. "Tell him Bluestar will be there shortly."
Dustpaw nodded and took off.
Fireheart turned abruptly and nearly ran Cinderpaw over. "Whoa!" Cinderpaw exclaimed. "What's the matter?"
The sight of Cinderpaw's leg uninjured was odd but incredible. He didn't respond immediately. "Tigerclaw wants to see Bluestar." He said.
Cinderpaw frowned. "She's sick with greencough, she can't go." She paused to think. "Why don't I go?"
Fireheart shook his head vigorously. "No way! Promise me you want leave the camp!"
Cinderpaw seemed taken aback. "Um, alright. I promise." She said bewilderedly.
Relief flooded over Firestar. "Great, I'll go tell Bluestar and she'll decide what to do." Fireheart took off before Cinderpaw could say anything else.
…
"I'm going." Bluestar announced.
"You can't go, you have greencough!" Yellowfang protested.
"I'm fine." Bluestar said. She stood up shakily. "See?"
Yellowfang shook her head. "I can't let you go."
"You can either let me, or watch me leave." Bluestar said stubbornly.
Yellowfang sighed. "You're stubbornness will be the death of you." She muttered.
Bluestar dipped her head. "Thank you."
Fireheart listened to the whole conversation without uttering a single word. His mind was too scrambled to think clearly.
"May StarClan be with you." Yellowfang murmured as Bluestar exited.
…
Dustpaw broke into the ThunderClan camp, a look of terror in his eyes. Tigerclaw came in behind him coolly dragging along what appeared to be a body.
Fireheart was suddenly on his feet. He knew what was coming. What have I done!
Tigerclaw set the body down gingerly and then looked up at the Clan. His eyes burned with an intensity that Fireheart had never seen in him before. Fireheart's heart stopped.
"Bluestar is dead."
