Chapter 4
Fireheart's POV:
After an agonizingly long walk, he soon saw Ravenpaw's Barn, feeling a spark of energy, he started running, until he felt the pain in his legs get stronger, and his legs buckle under him, and he lets out a loud yowl of pain, which Ravenpaw must have heard, since his head poke out of the entrance to the barn, and his eyes widened when he saw the state his friend was in.
Fireheart lay on the ground panting for breath and unable to stand up due to the injuries in his infected leg. He waited as Ravenpaw ran towards him, his eyes stretched wide in surprise and worry for his friend.
"Fireheart," He Yowled, "What happened to you"
"Long Story," Panted Fireheart.
"Well, you look like you need a rest, follow me to the barn," he invited
Fireheart just pointed helplessly with his tail at his injured leg
"Can't walk," meowed Fireheart.
Ravenpaw came and allowed Fireheart to rest on his shoulder as they walked slowly to the barn.
"So, what are you doing here?" asked Ravenpaw
"Exiled," Answered Fireheart.
Ravenpaw looked at him in surprise,
"What happened?" he asks.
"Tigerclaw became leader," meowed Fireheart, feeling utterly exhausted and defeated.
"And his first order of action was to exile you,"
"Yes," answered Fireheart.
"Why did the clan support him?" asked Ravenpaw.
"He claimed I killed Bluestar."
"And how did you get these injuries, and how did they get infected?"
So, as they walked to the Barn, Fireheart explained everything that had happened to him, starting with the battle with the rogues, and ending with his escape from Tigerstar.
"That's Horrible!" Exclaimed Ravenpaw, "What will you do against Tigerstar?"
"Well, I had only thought about surviving until now, and when I'm better, I'll start trying to defeat Tigerstar and rescue Thunderclan."
So, when they reached the barn, Ravenpaw told Barley what happened to Fireheart, and Fireheart, who turns out to know a bit about healing treats Fireheart's wounds, commenting on how lucky he is to still be living, when he has Infected Head Wounds.
After Barley finished, he told Fireheart that his injuries will heal in about half a moon, so, next half moon. So Fireheart had half a moon of doing nothing but thinking about how to defeat Tigerstar, and rescue the clans from his evil ambitions.
-Quarter Moon Later-
Fireheart lay down in his nest to sleep, he continued thinking about how to defeat Tigerstar, he knew he would need large amounts of support, he knew he would most likely have Windclan's support, and he suspected that the medicine cats would be on his side once he had explained his point of view to them, and told them he needed there help against Tigerstar.
He was also counting on Thunderclan's support, which he knew he would most likely get if they got to see Tigerstar's true self.
When he finally drifted into sleep, he found himself in a beautiful meadow, in the middle of Greenleaf, next to him, there was a forest, and out of it came a blue-grey she-cat.
"Bluestar!" He yowled happily, running to his previous leader.
"Fireheart," She said, "I want you to know that Starclan is on your side, and that Thunderclan does need your help."
"Ok," he meowed.
"I would also like to tell you that Tigerstar had decided to rename Thunderclan, he named it Tigerclan."
"What! He can't do that!" He Yowled Fireheart, his anger quickly increasing.
"Yes, he can, since he is now leader of Tigerclan, although we here in Starclan don't approve of it."
"How can I get rid of him, and who will replace him once he is gone," His anger cooling down and turning into frustration at the fact that he couldn't do anything.
"Do what you think is right, and we will guide you to the correct path, and the cat who will replace Tigerstar is obvious."
"Whitestorm?" asked Fireheart.
Bluestar just laughed and said, "No, and I think I shouldn't tell you now."
Then she began to fade, and the entire meadow along with her, and suddenly, he found himself opening his eyes in the Barn, sunlight coming in from the entrance, and a few holes in the wall, which were covered by something that looked like ice.
Fireheart got up, he could walk better now, and hunt, but his injuries were still there, and he couldn't fight, or walk a long distance, so he had to settle with just staying in the barn, and exploring the small area around it.
Sandstorm's POV
Sandstorm walked out of the Warriors den, and went into the apprentices den to get her apprentice, and she walked in, she looked for the fluffy white pelt of her apprentice, and she found him sleeping next to Brightpaw.
"Cloudpaw!" she called.
His head lifted up slowly and he stared at her, his eyes dull, and sadness still evident in his face, and movements, he had been like that for about a quarter moon, since his uncle, Fireheart had been exiled, for supposedly killing Bluestar.
Both Cloudpaw and Graystripe were badly affected by Fireheart's exile, and both of them still miss him until today, Graystripe has now left for Riverclan with his kits, he left behind everyone's back, talked to her across the border when she was out of a walk, and told her that he had left because he was worried about his kits staying in the same clan as Tigerstar, which was a reason she didn't understand, Tigerstar was a great leader, but he also said that every time he saw the Thunderclan camp, the Twoleg place or Fireheart's empty nest, he would feel his heart break.
The rest of the clan has been largely unaffected, most of them were just shocked but recovered after a day or two, and then life went back to normal.
She took Cloudpaw and they both left for training, and before they left, they saw Tigerstar leave the camp, and they walked out, they saw him heading in the direction of the Sunningrocks, while she and Cloudpaw went off to the Sandy Hollow.
-Time Skip-
After a long day of training, she and Cloudpaw went back to the Thunderclan camp, she sent Cloudpaw to take prey to the elders while she sat down to eat.
After she finished her meal and went to sleep in the warriors den, she heard Tigerstar calling for a meeting.
"Let all cats old to catch their own prey gather here beneath the Highrock for a clan meeting."
Sandstorm went to sit below the highledge as the cats gathered, Tigerstar waited patiently for them.
When they were all here, he said,
"I have an announcement to make," he yowled, "Shadowclan have agreed to join Tigerclan, and become one clan!"
"What! Why would Nightstar agree to that?" Yowled Whitestorm.
"Nightstar is Dead." Tigerstar stated Simply, "He died of a deadly sickness."
"What about the Deputy, Cinderfur?" Questioned Runningwind.
" He died from the same Sickness."
"Who is Shadowclan's leader then?" Asked Whitestorm, seeming still angry
"They agreed that I should be their Leader."
"So you are now the leader of two clans!" Yowled Brackenfur, "That didn't happen before, in any of the Clans! This is a Betrayal of the Warrior Code, and Betrayal of ThunderClan!"
Tigerstar's eyes turned red with anger and he flicked his tail, and quickly, Darkstripe, Longtail and Dustpelt leaped at Brakenfur, quickly killing him and disposing of him, Sandstorm noticed that Whitestorm, Runningwind, and Mousefur all had their claws unsheathed and their muscles tense, staring angrily at Tigerstar.
Tigerstar leaped down from the Highrock and went into his den, while Whitestorm and Runningwind left the camp. Sandstorm decided to follow them, and as she saw them walk to the Training Hollow and sit there, she followed them and hid in a bush.
"Tigerstar must be mad! Killing Brackenfur, becoming Shadowclans Leader and joining them to Tigerclan!" Muttered Runningwind angrily.
"Your right, how likely is it that Nightstar and Cinderfur both die, I think he killed one of them, if not both." Stated Whitestorm.
"I don't believe this, that Fireheart fool had to kill Bluestar didn't he, and make that make that idiot, Tigerstar our leader!" Mumbled Runningwind.
"Actually, I think Fireheart did nothing, and was framed for Bluestar's death, while her real killer is Tigerstar."
