Chapter 4
Stormfur walked back into Thunderclan Camp, his mouth full of prey and his gray pelt shining in the sun. He still hadn't gotten around to relaying his message to Firestar. He had been so shocked at the camp's appearance when he walked in that he had completely forgotten that he was carrying a message.
Tell Firestar that Ravenpaw, Barley, and I will be in Thunderclan before the next moon. Tell him that we are with the Tribe to recover and then we will go straight into the new territory.
Stormfur would tell Firestar about it as soon as he put the prey down. Brooke had been shooting him curious glances about why he hadn't said anything, but she hadn't said anything because she was having more trouble hunting in the forest, where the scents of herbs and other plants mingled with the scents of prey. For him, it felt good to be back in territory that was similar to Riverclan's in the old territories.
As he walked towards the freshkill pile, Stormfur noticed that Brambleclaw was still lying down near the wall of the camp. He looked happier than before, but this was not like the Brambleclaw he knew who was always trying to help his clan in any way possible.
I'll go talk to him after going to Firestar Stormfur decided, depositing his catch into the small pile. And after that I'll go talk to Squirrelflight.
"Come on Brooke, we'll go to Firestar's den now," Stormfur said.
"O.k.," Brooke replied, "I noticed that you didn't say anything when you first spoke to him."
"I got distracted by how torn apart the camp looks." He said, grinning sheepishly.
Suddenly he noticed a dark ginger cat running towards him.
"Stormfur!" Squirrelflight called delightedly, "You're back!"
He grinned at her and said, "I'll come talk to you in a few minutes. I just need to talk to Firestar first."
She stuck her tongue out at him and went back to her work. She, too, looked happier, Stormfur thought.
He slowly made his way to Firestar's den, where a fiery looking cat sat waiting for him, with a pale ginger she-cat at his side.
"Firestar," Stormfur said, greeting the Thunderclan leader, "I have news. I meant to give it to you when I first walked into camp, but I was too shocked by the appearance of your camp."
"Well, tell as now," Sandstorm mewed quietly, "that is, if you want to say this news while I'm here."
"You can stay," Stormfur said, "it's nothing private. I was sent here to tell you that Graystripe traveled from the Forest all the way to the Tribe with Ravenpaw and Barley. Both Ravenpaw and Barley would like to join the clan. They will all be staying with the Tribe for a while to recover from their journey. Brooke and I would like to go back tomorrow so we can spend time with all three cats. We will probably travel back here with them and get here for the gathering."
"This is great news!" Fireheart mewed happily. "I get my deputy and three good friends back! Oh, and if you'll be here in time for the next gathering, come with us so you can see your friends amongst the clans."
"I'll do that," Stormfur said, smiling, "Now, I'd like to go and talk with Brambleclaw."
Stormfur and Brooke excused themselves from Fireheart's den and Stormfur headed towards Brambleclaw. Brooke started to follow him, but then went off to talk to Squirrelflight.
"Hey Brambleclaw," Stormfur said, poking him with his paw, "how are you? You seem a little out of it."
"I'm just tired." Brambleclaw said, after jumping with surprise.
"I guess the battle would have been pretty exhausting," Stormfur mewed, "but usually you are up and helping in no time."
"Well, I guess I just needed some time to think," he mewed, "I'm feeling better now."
"So, what's new?" Stormfur asked as they started walking towards Squirrelflight and Brooke.
"Squirrelflight and I got back together today, while you were hunting." Brambleclaw said happily.
"What???" Stormfur exclaimed, "You guys were fighting? Why? What happened?"
"Oh, right, you weren't here," Brambleclaw stated, "Squirrelflight got mad at me because I was becoming friends with Hawkfrost. But everything is better now!"
Brambleclaw and Stormfur sat down next to Squirrelflight and Brooke.
"There's something I want to tell you guys." Stormfur mewed earnestly.
Suddenly, Fireheart's yowl sounded, "Let all those cats old enough to catch their own prey join here beneath the Highledge for a clan meeting!"
All the cats gathered around to hear what their leader had to say to them.
"Stormfur and Brooke have come here from the Tribe with a message!" He yowled loudly, "Graystripe, Ravenpaw, and Barley are staying with them to recover from their long journey to the mountains, but will come to the new territories before the next gathering! Now, everyone get some rest so we can rebuild the camp tomorrow!"
"Well, that's what I wanted to tell you," Stormfur mewed quietly, "Now, we'd better get some sleep. Brooke and I are leaving in the morning."
So, that was my fourth chapter. It's longer than the rest of them, and I hope you enjoyed it! Now I have a question for you. Whose POV should my next chapter be from? Brambleclaw's or Leafpool's? Tell me when you review!
