Hey hey hey!
Well here's the…seventh chapter I think. I'm losing track of everything in my life!
Disclaimer: I don't own warriors…I think.
Chapter 7...I think
"FireClan is attacking!" Tanpaw yowled. Silentwater felt her pelt prickle. What would happen if Blackheart was there?
Jadeclaw snarled.
"Warriors!" she yowled, and the warriors of MoonClan crawled out of there dens. "We need to be ready for an attack from FireClan!" Some queens yowled fearfully for their kits, but the assembled warriors snarled, ready for battle.
"Queens, keep you're kits in the nursery! Elders, you must stay in there too and help guard!" Jadestar yowled. "Everyone else must be ready to fight!" The clan stood ready for the attack, their pelts bristled apprehensively. Thundering paw steps sounded in the distance, getting closer and closer, until the first string of FireClan cats bowled into the clearing.
A pretty tabby attacked Silentwater from behind; she recognized her as Smogfang, a new warrior. Smogfang raked her claws down Silentwater's pelt, her eyes alit with the battle fire. Silentwater whipped around and hissed, rolling on her back to dislodge Smogfang. The she-cat huffed as the wind was knocked out of her, and before she could react, Silentwater leapt atop her, reaching forward to bite her front leg. Before her teeth met the flesh, Smogfang rolled so she was on top. Silentwater kicked out her hind legs, batting at the she-cat's soft belly with her sharp claws. Smogfang finally yowled and raced out of the clearing. Silentwater stood, and gazed around at the mess of battling cats. There was no sign of Blackheart so far. She sighed in relief.
She caught sight of Tanpaw battling a big black FireClan tom twice his size; he was clearly in need of help. Silentwater raced over and grabbed the tom by his scruff. She dragged him, with some difficulty, (he really was quite heavy) off of Tanpaw, who nodded in thanks and attacked the big warrior's belly.
The big warrior, clearly embarrassed about having been beat by an apprentice and a medicine cat, darted out of the clearing. Tanpaw yowled out a thank you, and charged back into battle. Silentwater smiled after him. He certainly was becoming a great warrior.
Her thoughts were disrupted as she heard the unmistakable yowl of Blackfeather from across the clearing. The pretty black she-cat was pinned to the ground by the big grey tom, Boulderpelt, who was FireClan's deputy. Silentwater watched in horror as the big grey cat leaned down and fastened his jaws around the black she-cat's throat. Blackfeather let out a scream that chilled Silentwater's bones. Her white-tipped tail twitched, then went limp.
Silentwater cried out and raced toward Boulderpelt, her claws unsheathed, and her eyes glistening in fury. She leapt toward the big grey cat, only to be batted away like a kit. She landed halfway across the clearing, the wind knocked out of her. As she struggled to take a breath, Boulderpelt leapt onto her, tearing at her soft white fur. Silentwater cried out in pain; the tom was too strong for her to defend herself against. She felt hot blood trickling from a wound in her thigh. My kits! She suddenly thought. More blows to the stomach and they could be killed! Boulderpelt, as if reading her thoughts, raked his claws against Silentwater's flank, causing her to yowl out in pain.
Suddenly, the great tom was lifted off of her, and Silentwater was able to sit up painfully. Jadestar had grabbed the tom by his scruff, and now dealt a killing blow to his head, causing the tom to twist his neck and fall down, his tail twitching. After a few seconds, it ceased.
Jadestar helped Silentwater up.
"Jadestar…Jadestar!" Silentwater gasped. "Blackfeather…Boulderpelt…he killed her!" Jadestar bowed her head with a look of sorrow in her green eyes.
"She was a great deputy to me." she mewed. "I would never have thought that Boulderpelt would kill another cat in battle." She sheathed and unsheathed her claws, her eyes fiery once again.
"But now he can never kill again." she hissed, the defiance back in her voice. She charged back into battle. Silentwater looked around. The FireClan cats were dwindling. She was about to attack one, when she heard a yowl. Instantly, ten or more fresh FireClan cats leapt into the clearing. Silentwater saw with horror that Blackheart was among them. Instead of attacking, he just stood there, gazing around the clearing. Silentwater ran to him, and as she neared, his blue eyes got wider and wider.
"What are you doing!" he hissed. "You can't talk to me here!" Silentwater didn't answer, but instead grabbed the large tom by the scruff and dragged him across the clearing, despite his squirming and squealing in protest. Once out of camp, Silentwater let go of him and began to run, emotion taking over her. She stopped in the same clearing that they had met that one day…the day when all this had began.
Blackheart caught up to her and covered her in licks, and she gladly gave in, and let herself go limp against him.
"What are you doing?" he mewed between licks. "You look absolutely scrawny! What's wrong with you?" Silentwater leaned against him, rubbing her muzzle against his chin.
"I haven't been eating-" she started, and Blackheart immediately ceased his licks, staring into her eyes fearfully.
"Why not?" he mewed. "You're clan has enough food, doesn't it?" Silentwater stared back into his eyes, her's clouding in grief.
"No…" she whispered. "I'm pregnant."
OMG!!!
