Alright, so I have been suggested to use author notes. TA-DA XD. Also, there are 5 clans, only 3 have been mentioned so far. GlacierClan(Which is the clan that's going to be used most as Phantomheart will be the only POV in this story), DawnClan, CloudClan, ThornClan and LeafClan.
So yeah, basically what's happened so far is DawnClan has crossed GlacierClan's territory, and vice versa, Blackfeather was involved, and admitted something to do with Firestorm. Maybe they have been meeting secretly?
So this is Chapter 4, whoopee! Now we can see why Tundrapelt had a horrified look on her face when Phantomheart and Leafrush returned. Also see what will now happen to Firestorm, and find out any mysteries about him.
Also, chapters will now be longer. PEACE.
"Tundrapelt! What's going on?" I run up to her, while also looking down into the clearing. Cinderstar had her claws sheathed and Firestorm was just standing there, trying to back up. "I don't know! Cinderstar comes rushing in here, calling out Firestorm, then he appears, then she is going all "Traitor" on him!" Tundrapelt says quickly.
"We can't just assume whatever Blackfeather says is true!" Leafrush comes out from behind me. What she says is true, but it actually makes sense to me. Blackfeather getting nervous about saying what she was doing across the border, and Firestorm being scared when we told him we were going to visit DawnClan. I look back down at Cinderstar.
"So what have you been doing over in DawnClan's territory? Meeting up with Blackfeather! I trusted you, but this is where you have been going every night? Does loyalty not mean anything anymore?" Cinderstar hissed. "Is there anything else you need to possibly tell me?" Firestorm just stood there. He looked at the ground before speaking. "Look, me and Blackfeather started meeting before the battle happened moons ago!" "What does that have to do with anything?" Cinderstar had the look of anger and hurt in her bright green eyes.
"I had kits with her!" Firestorm yelled. Silence took over all the cats in the area. Everyone was shocked, from kits to elders! "Oh perfect! You also had kits with her! What if DawnClan found out that your kits are actually in that clan?" Cinderstar hissed and jumped closer to Firestorm. "They won't find out!" Firestorm hissed back at her, now sheathing his claws. "What do you mean they won't? Blackfeather is bound to admit that-" "They won't find out since they are in this clan!"
He actually is a traitor! I look around the clearing, and actually saw some cat's eyes either filled with horror, or anger. "Blackpaw and Sandpaw, are my kits! I lied about finding them! Blackfeather gave birth to them, but she said that her clan would get too suspicious, but I told her that I am trusted fully, and I can keep them a secret! But no! You have to put your nose in everything!" Firestorm hissed then attacked Cinderstar, pinning her down.
"You wouldn't understand! You loved a cat from this clan, who is now dead! What if I lost Blackfeather? It would just be like her dying! But maybe you don't have to worry about that, as it is now time for me..."
"To lead this clan!"
Firestorm kept pinning Cinderstar down, while he brought one of his sheathed claws, and slashed her neck, taking out her final life. "No..." Tundrapelt whispered while tears filled her eyes. I could not believe what just happened! I actually trusted Firestorm, and thought he was the most loyal cat I have ever met! Anger grew in my eyes.
"Traitor!" I yell. Firestorm looked up at me, fire dancing in his eyes. "You wouldn't understand!" He looked at his paw, filled with blood then looked down at Cinderstar. Cinderstar looked so...lifeless. Eyes filled with terror, blood gushing from her neck. "You will all now list me as Firestar! Anyone starting now who calls me a traitor, will be killed!"
"Over my dead body! You killed my mother, who was the leader, and you now expect us to call you Firestar?" Speckletail hissed then dashed forward and leaped onto Firestorms back. Firestorm managed to knock back Speckletail, and was about to attack him until a flash of brown jumped onto his back. Other cats then ran, and attacked Firestorm. Bramblethorn, the cat who was on Firestorm's back, slashed his paw down his back before getting knocked off.
Sparrowpelt then ran forward and sliced his neck, kinda like Firestorm did to Cinderstar. Firestorm knocked all the cats away from him, and he layed standing there. He looked up with anger in his eyes, before collapsing. I ran forward to join the crowd around Firestorm, as blood ran down his neck. "Firestorm is dead!" Sparrowpelt hissed.
"But now we don't have a leader, or a deputy!" Pinepaw stepped forward in the crowd. "That matter shall now be put into StarClan's paws." A bright white she-cat emerged from the crowd. "StarClan will soon show us a sign." She said quietly. "Icefoot is right, medicine cats do usually get a sign." Duskstripe said while standing near Icefoot. "But what if a cat attacks us in the night? What if DawnClan attacks?" Leafrush said while running down from the entrance with Tundrapelt behind her. Mumbles were heard throughout the crowd now,
"What about Blackpaw and Sandpaw? They are half clan, and their father is dead." Leopardfoor hissed. Every cat looked at each other, before a small pale orange cat appeared next to Firestorm. "Please don't send Blackpaw and I away!" Sandpaw pleaded. Every cat then turned to Icefoot, like she was the leader. "I don't think they have done anything wrong, but that is my opinion." Icefoot began quietly. "They have proved themselves loyal to this clan, whether they knew they know they were halfclan or not."
She is right. But I don't think they knew. "I also say they should stay." I said. Other cats then joined in with saying yes. "Oh thank StarClan we get to stay!" Sandpaw sighed in relief. "I think the best we can do for now though, is just wait until we get a sign from StarClan appointing who should be leader." Icefoot said. We all agreed and headed off to our dens. Before I entered the warrior den, Tundrapelt stopped me.
"I feel bad for Bramblethorn and Speckletail. Now both their parents are dead... just like ours" Tundrapelt sadly spoke. Our parents were Mistycloud, a white she-cat with a gray tipped tail, and Mouseleap, a dark gray tom. Mouseleap died of greencough, and Mistycloud died during that huge battle between the clans. "It's hard losing cats close to you. I thought Firestorm and I were pretty close, not like that, but he could trust me, and I could trust him. But he just..." I couldn't finish speaking.
"You seemed like the only cat who understanded that crazy furball the most, but he just went over the top crazy." Tundrapelt rubbed her tail against my back. "We might as well get some sleep." Tundrapelt walked off into the den. I don't know if it will be easy for me to sleep tonight.
Ouch. GlacierClan is now left without a leader or a deputy, and they all depend on Icefoot, who is a medicine cat, to help them out. It's hard losing someone close to you, especially if you trusted them with your life.
Next chapter will feature the clan talking about the gathering later that day, and who is going to talk to all the clans for them. Phantomheart tries to take in all that is happening, and hope the gathering doesn't end in a fail like last time, and if anything like this keeps ending up happening between all the clans, the clans will be lead to destruction.
