Leafpool awoke in a daze. She could barely remeber what had happened the night before. Then as she shook the sleep off of her she remembered everything that had happened. Crowfeather loved her, She had come back home, She had fallen asleep, she had had a dream, Feathertail had told her to tell her clan to go to Windclan. Thats when she truly woke up. She rushed out of the medicine den, making the sleeping Jayfeather jump up, startled.
She rushed up the stone pile and into Firestar's den. "Firestar Ihave something to tell you!" she mewed loudly. "Wha-"Firestar said as he opened his eyes. Seeing that it was Leafpool he sat up and asked "Did you recieve a message from Starclan?" "No...well sorta." she replied. "Than are you gonna tell me?" he asked. "Yes, I will. Firestar the truth is that Crowfeather and I still love eachother and also Jayfeather,Hollyleaf, and Lionblaze are mine and his, not Squirrelflight's." She answered. Firestar looked surprisingly cam. "So I'm glad you told me the truth Leafpool, now I'm assuming that wasn't the sign from Starclan. "Feathertail came to me in a dream and told me my clan would accept me if I told the truth. Then since Crowfeather is gonna tell his clan, I asked her if everything would turn alright for him. She got a haunted look in her eyes and then told me I had to wake up and tell you to go to Windclan with the senior warriors and I. I think Windclan is attacking Crowfeather please help Firestar!" She begged him. "I will help because I am not a cruel cat. Brambleclaw!" He yowled.
Brambleclaw came racing in. "What is it Firestar?" Brambleclaw asked. "Go gather Thornclaw, Whitewing, Ashfur-" "No not Ashfur" said Leafpool "Ok so not Ashfur but Squirrelflight and Lionblaze" Firestar ordered. Brambleclaw raced away again, coming quickly back with the warriors. "Birchfall and Berrynose insisted on coming too." He mewed. "Ok well we are going to Windclan," He glanced at Leafpool "Ill explain later, but we have got to hurry!"
They gathered at the enterance to camp. Firestar started to issue orders, "When we get there if the cats are fighting, stop them, Lionblaze be strong and demand them to stop attacking their own clanmates." Then they headed out of camp and over to the Windclan border. They crossed it carefully, looking for patrols. Leafpool was getting anxcious about how her clanmates would react to the truth.
They reached Windclan camp very quickly. Fighting had indeed broken out between those who trusted Crowfeather and those who hated him. Lionblaze, Thornclaw, and Brambleclaw went to stop the fighting. Firestar, Squirrelflight, Birchfall and Berrynose went to go check to make sure no one was too badly hurt. Whitewing went to go see Onestar. That left Leafpool to go find Crowfeather.
She headed into the ocean of pelts. She almost got knocked over by two cats locked in combat. She looked around seeing Crowfeather fighting with Nightcloud. She bounded over to unsheathed her claws and dug them into Nightcloud's back. Then she pulled Nightcloud off of Crowfeather. Nightcloud glared at her and hissed at Crowfeather. "Nightcloud I know you dont like Crowfeather's decision but you can't fight him!" Leafpool soothed. "Oh yea, watch me!" she growled, pulling away from Leafpool and clawing Crowfeather in the face. Leafpool sighed and crouched low ready to pounce. Before she could move Crowfeather walked calmly up to Nightcloud. Nightcloud growled and looked at Leafpool. Leafpool shot her an 'I have no idea whats going on so don't look at me!' look. Then Crowfeather slowly licked Nightcloud's muzzle. Nightcloud was taken aback by this and looked shocked. "Nightcloud I love you, I really do. But I was only in love with you because I couldn't be with Leafpool. I'm sorry I lead you on and I would never ask you to tust me agai-"He started to explain. "You don't have to ask because I already do trust you." Nightcloud interrupted. "You do?" Crowfeather asked in amazement. "Yes now leave before the other cats see you, I'll stop the fighting." She replied. But Leafpool was too taken aback by Nightcloud's sudden change of mood to on the other hand ran immediatly off. Leafpool was left standing in the middle of a sea of fighting cats.
All of a sudden Leafpool realized what Crowfeather had just done. Suddenly she felt regret and hurt. She wondered why Crowfeather had done that to her. He had told her that he loved her just last night! What had happened since then? Leafpool was so caught up in her thoughts that she didn't even realize that a black tom with amber eyes was sneaking up behind her. All of a sudden Leafpool had the feeling that something was behind her. She spun around, but it was too late. Breezepelt was on top of her in less than a heartbeat. She felt his claws dig into her back. She tried to shake him off, but his grip just kept getting tighter. Finnally she just rolled onto her back squishing the young warrior with her body weight. Breezepelt struggled to get out from under Leafpool. It was no use, Leafpool was a very strong she-cat and she had a lot of skill in fighting despite being a medicine cat.
Breezepelt stopped struggling and Leafpool soon found out why. "Watch out Leafpool!"Breezepelt yowled unexpetedly. Leafpool turned around just in time to see a brown and white tom lunging towards her neck. She swiftly slipped to the side, making the warrior miss her and stumble akwardly to the edge of the clearing.
"Harespring? Why are you fighting, I thought you hated hurting other cats!"asked Leafpool. "Well I have to at least look like I'm fighting! Wait what side are you on Breezepelt?" Harespring asked. "I'm on Crowfeather's side because he is my father and certain other reasons..." Breezepelt ansered. "Well ok than but more importantly why are you fighting, your just a medicine cat Leafpool?"Harespring sneered. "Just a medicine cat? Is that what you think I am? Why you little-" But she didn't have time to say anything else before Heathertail bounded over and bit into her hind leg. Leafpool let out a yowl of pain. "Heathertail stop that are you on Crowfeathers side or not?" demanded Breezepelt. "Your on Lionblaze's side? asked Heathertail disbeleivingly. "Oh my gosh Heathertail, this battle has nothing to do with you and Lionblaze. So are you on my side or not, cause if you are you can stop attacking Thunderclan cats. They are on Crowfeather's side and I thought you were over Lionblaze." Breezepelt retorted. Heathertail shuffled her paws, obviosly not over him.
Leafpool was getting tired of sitting there listening to them bicker like elders."Oh come on you guys just come and help stop the rest of the fighting, I'm going to see Onestar!" She said loudly. The three cats that were there looked up to see that Leafpool was right next to them. They had all forgotten that she was there. Leafpool rushed hastily towards where Whitewing was talking to Onestar. "Onestar, whose side are you on? Your not even trying to stop them from killing thier own clanmates! You must have bees in your brian!" Leafpool mewed in disbelief. "It's ok Leafpool, I have cinvinced this mouse brain to call his clan into a meeting.
Leafpool wasted no time at all in running away from Whitewing and Onestar and straight up to Firestar."Gather the clan, Onestar is calling a clan meeting." Leafpool mewed before running out of breath.
Crowfeather's POV:
Crowfeather was sitting on a rock just outside of Windclan camp when he heard Onestar calling a clan meeting. He got up hastily groomed his fur, knowing he would have to speak and rushed into camp. He looked around. The fighting had stopped, but the cats were still in the fighting position. They were all looking at Onestar. "Well are y'all just gonna stand there like a bunch scared prey?" Whitewing's voice suddenly rang through camp. All the cats began to slowly form a half circle around Onestar's den. Crowfeather searched for Leafpool's tabby fur in the mass of pelts.
He finnally saw her and tried to make his way to her, only to find her looking back at her with cold-hearted eyes. She laughed at his confused expression and hastily turned away. Out of the corner of his eye Crowfeather saw Onestar beckoning him to come.
He padded over to Onestar as the leader told his clan that Crowfeather was going to speak. Crowfeather padded up to the crowd of cats. "Leafpool and I are mates" were the sole words he said. Yowls of protest erupted from both clans. "Wha-I thought that you were a true medicine cat...I...I...I trusted you, I thought you were my friend!" Whitewing's distressed cry sounded through camp. Other cries of "Traitor!", and "I thought Nightcloud was your mate Crowfeather!" travled around the crowd. Suddenly Nightcloud's voice echoed around camp, "Crowfeather is not my mate anymore, but I forgive him because he is still the honest caring cat you all have known and grown up with, so those who believe in him stand strong by me, that is all." Breezepelt, Harespring,Ashfoot, Kestrelpaw, Emberfoot, Swallowtail and reluctantly Heathertail crossed over to Nightcloud's side, the rest went over to stand by Onestar. Crowfeather padded ove into the middle of the rows of cats, where Leafpool was standing. He ignored the look of jealousy in her beautiful amber eyes. He anounced that they were leaving and Thunderclan started heading over to the entrance. Nightcloud made her way to the party of Thunderclan cats. Her followers close behind her. She padded straight up to Firestar and declared, "We are coming with you." She had a strange look in her eyes that Firestar seemed to understand, because he nodded his haed and padded out of the camp without a single word. The rest of the cats followed him out. Leafpool and Crowfeather were padding side by side. Suddenly Leafpool asked him, "Why did you do it?" "Do what?" he answered with a question. "Why did you cheat?"
And there is the Cliff-hanger for this chappie! Thanks to my few reveiwers for reviewing . I'm starting to get discouraged about this, I need to have at least 5 reviewers for this chappie, and I won't make the next chappie without them. Thanks! ~Glacierfall~!
