It was morning. The sun shined, even tough there was a cold wind. A big, brown cat with blackstripes named Bramblestar looked over his shoulder to see his mate and clan deputy, Squirrleflight. She was an orange cat with one white paw. She had green eyes like her father. Her father was named Firestar. He was the former clan leader and maybe on of the greatest warriors that ever lived. Squirrleflight's mother, Sandstorm is dying. She is pretty old, and she felt a bit broken after Firestar passed away. Squirrleflight's sister, Leafpool was a medicine cat. But than Hollyleaf, her daughter, revealed a terrible secret ; That she and Sandstorm lied about that Hollyleaf, Lionblaze and Jayfeather where Sandstorm and Bramblestar's kits. But secretly those where from Leafpool and Crowfeather. You couldn't have kits when you was a medicine cat. And Crowfeather is from another clan what only made it worse that it already was. Hollyleaf ran away, and she got lost in an old tunnel and she met a cat named Fallen Leaves. She returned without Fallen Leaves, and later she died, defending her clan against the place of no stars. Or the dark forest. Firestar died there to. Bramblestar was a deputy than so he became a clan leader. Jayfeather was at the moment a medicine cat because Leafpool took her duty as a medicine cat off because she didn't felt like a loyal cat that the clan needed as a medicine cat, so her apprentice Jayfeather was the new medicine cat. But Jayfeather was blind. Bramblestar purred and looked at Squirrleflight. She was truly beautyful. He stroked his nose against her cheek.
'Wake up Squirrleflight. It is morning, and I wanted to discuss somethings with you.' He meowed softly in her small ears. She stretched out and murmeled something. Than she stood up and looked at him with a smile.
'Good morning Bramblestar...' She meowed.
'You know that Leafpool has left her duty as a medicine cat because of what happened... I want to make her a medicine cat again,' Squirleflight her eyes shined. 'Not that Jayfeather isn't a good medicine cat, he is great. But the clan needs Leafpool... I don't want her to die sad. She already lost almost everything. ' He murmeled softly.
Squirrleflight nodded. 'Of course she deserves this, she had suffered a lot. She lost her mate, had to give away her kits because of her duty as medicine cat, her kits knew about this and hated her, Crowfeather told her that he didn't care for any of them, and she saw one of her kits die. I think that is enough punishment. Maybe to much.' She began growling a bit.
Bramblestar nodded. She was right. 'Come on, lets tell them about it. '
They walked out of his den. Squirrleflight jumped towards the warriors den, leaving Bramblestar grinning behind. Than he looked up. A black raven feather fall down out of the sky that was still a bit dark. The feather slowly fell before his paws. He looked at it. The top of it was blue. What was weird because there weren't any birds with this color wings in this territory. He sighed and looked up. Was this a message of Starclan? If it was, he hoped it didn't mean trouble. Because Thunderclan had enough of them in the past. He grabbed the feather with his mouth and lay'd it quickly down at his moss bed. Than he quickly walked to Squirrleflight who had already woke up Leafpool. They already walked towards Jayfeather and Briarlight. Briarlight has a broken lower spine, and it isn't shore she is going to survive it. She was 4 years old already, that meant that she made it pretty far.
Bramblestar dropped his head sadly. He really wished he, Jayfeather and soon Leafpool could do anything for her. But they already have done everything they could. Even Millie, a former kittypet and mother of Briarlight knew that she wasn't going to make it any longer. But she could handle the news. He lifted his head up again when he heard the paw steps of Leafpool and her sister.
'Thank you so much Bramblestar... You don't know how much this means to me!' Leafpool meowed happy.
Bramblestar grinned. 'Of course I do know that! Have you two already told this to Jayfeather? He is a bit... Grumpy and going to be a apprentice again.' His grin began growing bigger.
'I can handle that. Easily. He's our family after all.' Leafpool murmured softly.. She was still a bit insecure about calling him and Lionblaze her sons.
Squirrleflight nodded. 'We understand.'
Leafpool quickly walked to Jayfeather's den to wake him up. Squirrleflight pressed her nose against his cheek. It was a sign for saying thank you! Bramblestar purred, and tried pushing the thought of that feather out of his head. But he couldn't help thinking about something else. Was it a sign? It was a long time since he had been to the Moonpool to. He could take Cloudtail and Lionblaze with him if he was going towards it to talk to Starclan. Cloudtail is the nephew of Firestar so family from Squirrleflight. He was brave and was a kittypet once to. And Lionblaze had a rare power. He once had beaten a group of rogue's using one paw! And Squirrleflight... She would be upset, be he needed her to lead the camp for those two days. He was going to tell them tomorrow night. Than they will leave.
Leafpool walked into Jayfeather his den. He wasn't asleep like normally. He was staring at his paws. Thinking. He looked worried and sad. Jayfeather heard Leafpool walking in and he moved his head her way. He waved with his tail to make her quiet because Briarlight was still asleep. Leafpool nodded, and walked backwards. Jayfeather stood up and walked slowly towards his mother. He nodded.
'Good morning Leafpool...' He sighed. He was trying to cover his desperateness. Leafpool was sure he had a dream from Starclan last night, she did to. About a weird raven with cat eyes. She really did her best to not walking up to him, comforting him while pressing her nose against his shoulder. It always calmed him down.
'Look, Jayfeather... I can see you are feeling desperate and-' 'I dont FEEL DESPERATE!' He hissed, interrupting her sentence!
Leafpool backed down and looked angrily and scared at her son. His emotion changed from sad and scared, to angry. She hated it of Jayfeather acted like that, he shouldn't have a big mouth to his new mentor and mother!
'Okay, listen Jayfeather. I AM your MOTHER and your MENTOR AGAIN. Yes, Bramblestar named me as a medicine cat again. You're my apprentice now. Please... I don't mean it bad but...' 'WHAT? B...But... I knew it! He didn't want me to be a medicine cat anymore because I am blind! It isn't my fault! Ugh... I HATE being blind!' He screamed, while running angrily away.
Leafpool wanted to follow him, but Briarlight had opened her eyes already. 'W...What was going on?' She murmured tired. Leafpool walked up to her, touching her head with her nose.
'Nothing. You better go back to sleep, you'll need it.' She sighed, trying to purr.
Briarlight purred, and closed her eyes again. She purred and fell asleep. Leafpool then walked outside of the den, and saw the shocking looks of her clan mates burning on her. Did the clan wanted her back as a medicine cat, of did they still saw her as a betrayer?
