Chapter four:
When they reached the camp they were surprised when no cats came to meet them as the continued further into the camp. Squirrelpaw looked around and her and Brambleclaw splite up while she went with Stormfur searching every den for cats.
"I'll look in the leaders den, you can look in the medicine den," Stormfur meowed and bounded off to the leaders den before she could stop him.
Letting out a sigh she shook her head and went to check inside the medicine den as soon as she slipped inside the medicine den she saw that no cat was inside and let out a sigh turning to head back out of the den. Before she could even leave the medicine down she was knocked to the ground and twisted around to see Cinderpelt glaring down at her. "Cinderpelt!" she meowed in surprise getting up when Cinderpelt got off of her gazing at her in confusion. "It's me, Squirrelpaw," she meowed watching as Cinderpelts confusion turned to delight and relief.
"You've had everyone worried about you...Is Brambleclaw with you?" Cinderpelt asked.
Squirrelpaw nodded looking up as Brambleclaw appeared at the mouth of the medicine den followed by Stormfur.
"Why is Stormfur here?" Cinderpelt asked.
"He has to tell Graystripe something, speaking of Graystripe where is the rest of Thunderclan?" Brambleclaw asked.
"We had to move to Sunningrocks," Cinderpelt meowed and led them out of camp.
"How is Firestar and Sandstorm?" Squrrelpaw asked.
"They are fine," Cinderpelt meowed.
"And Leafpaw?" Squirrelpaw asked.
"Sh-She was captured by twolegs, I 'm sorry," Cinderpelt whispered.
Squirrelpaw almost came to a stop stunned, but forced herself to keep walking barely noticing when they reached Sunningrocks. Shaking her head to clear her thoughts she looked around at all the cats who was eyeing them suspiciously with a hint of suspiciousness. Soon cats started to come forwards to ask them where they had gone and Squirrelpaw decided to stay and answer their questions while Brambleclaw and Stormfur went to go find Graystripe. She quickly recounted the tail of her journey to sundrown place and through the mountains.
"How do we know that you were just trying to escape the hunger you would face," Mousefur called out glaring at her suspiciously.
"I would never do that to the clan," Squirrelpaw hissed lashing her tail. "If they rest of the clan is going hungry then I'll gladly go without food," she meowed defiantly.
"I'm sure you would," Firestar meowed from behind her.
Squirrelpaw spun around surprised to her father and Graystripe, who was looking blankly at his paws, behind her. 'Stormfur must of told him about Feathertail,' she thought feeling grief flood through her at the thought of Feathertail. Then she said bye to Stormfur as he told them goodbye and bounded off to riverclan. After Stormfur left she found herself wondering what Crowpaw was doing and wondered why she had ever got in so many fights with him.
They will realize that they're in love with each other soon
