Chapter Three:Bluestar(Bluefur)
A/N:This is when Bluestar was determined to be deputy instead of Thistleclaw and this is also way way before Firepaw came along.
When the Clan found out that I was to have kits, they did not question who the father was.I will admitt that it was Oakheart but it is a secret.But when our Clan Deputy, Tawnyspots, decided to retire, I knew that our new deputy would either be strong, brave Thistleclaw, who's sollution to every thing was fighting, or me.When my kits were born, our Medicine Cat, Icestorm, told me that I had a great future that StarClan was preparing for me, and as soon as I was told that I knew what it meant.I was to be deputy!But with kits I knew that it was imposible.
On the night of the full moon, our leader picked me to go to the Gathering.I was lucky for this, since I was in dire need to talk to Oakheart.I looked around when we got there, but I didnt see him anywhere until I herd a faint hiss come from behind me.I turned to see the bracken fur of Oakheart behind the bushes.I looked around to make sure no one saw me and ducked in to sit infront of him.
"How are you?How are the kits?They're doing okay, right?"he started.
"Yes.We are all fine."I meowed.
"Spottedleaf told me that you had three kits.Is it true?"
"Well yes, but one of them isnt well."
"Which one?What do they look like?"
"Well one, the weakest kit, is a bracken colored tom, and the other two are both silver blue, one male and the other felmale.But I wanted to tell you something."
"What?"
"Tomorrow night I want you to wait for me at SunningRocks.I want you to have the kits.I just...I cant keep them anymore.StarClan has chosen a destiny for me to become deputy of ThunderClan and I cant refuse."I couldnt help but hold back a small sob while I talked to him.I didnt want to get rid of my kits but I knew that I had to if I wanted to become deputy, and giving Oakheart the kits was the only way.
He seem to understand and licked my ear.Our leaders called for us and I said goodbye to him for now.I slipped out of the bushes and joined my Clan.A few moments later I saw Oakheart slink from out of the shadows of an overhang of trees and join RiverClan.I knew that my kits would be safe with RiverClan.htere was plenty of fish where they were, ecspecially in winter.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The next day I was restless and couldnt tell if I was making the right choice for my kits, myself, or my Clan, but either way I knew that it would never make a difference.I had told Oakheart to meet me there and I would not be disloyal to him now by not showing up with my kits.When every one had gone to their dens for the night, I gathered up my three kits and silently tried to pick my way out.
"Where are you going Bluefur?"asked a tired voice from behind me.I turned my head to see Speckletail, one of our new queens, look up at me with confused eyes.
"Oh, um, I...I was just going out for a midnight hunt."I quickly lied.Besides Spottedleaf, Speckletail was my best friend and was my apprentance until she had become a wrrior.It pained me to lie to one of my best friends, a lie that would be with me until they find out or I had died.
"Oh, okay.Do you want me to come with you then?"Speckletail meowed.
"No, thats okay.You should rest.You're going to have your kits soon so you should stay.And dont worry, Ill be fine."
She smiled at me then nodded and soon i herd her lightly snore as I quietly padded out of the queens den.I gently dropped my kits at the edge of the forest and went back,tearing a hole into the Nursurey wall."I went back to my kits and began on my trip to SunningRocks.
-----------------------------------
When I got there, I saw Oakheart under neath an overhanging rock waiting for me.The bracken colored kit that I was holding coughed lightly at first then its coughing grew louder and stronger.I put down the kit gently on the snow and tried to warm it up but it was to weak to have even have left the nursury's warmth.Oakheart padded over to try and help me warm it up but it was just no use.The kits chest heaved once and lay still in the cold snow.I bowed my head in grief and Oakheart licked my ears and pelt in comfort.We sat for a while in vigil and barried the kit at the shore of the river.
"I have to go Bluefur.Before the midnight potrol finds out that I am gone."Oakheart meowed softly.
I nodded in agreement."Yes."
I nudged the two silvery blue kits to their feets and Oakheart collected them with a sweep of his tail, after licking behind my ears one last time in comfort for the one kit that had died and for my giving up of my two kits for my selfishness just to become deputy.I licked both of my kits heads good bye and watched Oakheart quickly take them to the RiverClan camp before they too froze and died like the other kit had done.
'Oh well' I thought.'At least they will became great and better warriors in RiverClan.'
----------------------------------------------
When I got to the camp I had came back the same way that I had left.I pretended to yowl in surprise as I rushed over to the hole in the nursury wall that I had tore down before I had left.Warriors, queens, apprentices, the two MedicineCats and elders rushed out to see what was going on.Our leader, Nettlestar, came rushing out of his den with Tawnyspots behind him."What is wrong, Bluefur?"Nettlestar asked.
"My kits!They're gone!"I meowed despratley.There were gasp from all the cats around me.
"How did this happen."Nettlestar asked angerly.
"I dont know!I went to go and hunt for a midnight snack and was going to bring back some more prey for the Clan in the morning and when I detected a scent of kits blood on my way back, I dropped the prey that I was carring and quickly ran back here!But when I got here there was a hole in the nursury wall and my kits were gone!"
Nettlestar glared at the hole in the wall and snarled."I want all cats to search!MedicineCats search over by SunningRocks!One group of warriors search Tallpines and SnakeRocks and another group search near the Thunderpath and Four Trees!Redpaw and Runningpaw will check the Sandyhollow!Willowpaw and the Elders will check the whole camp while the Queens search the nursury again!Bluefur, go with Icestorm and Spottedleaf."
I nodded and rushed through the group of hurrying cats to reach Spottedleaf and Icestorm, acting frantic about what had happened to my kits.But all to well I knew that I wouldnt find them because they were with Oakheart in RiverClan, warm and safe.My plan to become deputy worked.But when I had my kits I thought that there would finally be warriors who were of my kin.That was my first plan.But it had failed all because I had a selfish decision.
When the Clan thought that there was no hope left, they had all thought that a badger or a fox had probably tooken them and killed them.But I knew where they were.I talked to Oakheart at gatherings, asking him what the kits named and how they were doing.By the time Nettlestar had died and I had become leader, they were new apprentices named Mistypaw and Stonepaw, who had soon become Mistyfoot and Stonefur when I had lost my fourth life.But my former mate had fallen in battle with my own Clan cause I didnt want to give up SunningRocks, since it was rightfully ours.Once again, I was being selfish.
A/N:Okay I am ending this chapter here because I cant think of anything else.This chapter was actually longer than all the other chapters.Now tell me, who do you think I should do next.Think of any of the queens(besides Brindleface, Morningflower, and Bluestar) and I will try to make up the chapters for them.Thanks and please R&R!!Flames are a tad bit acceptable.
