New Chapter!!!!!!!!!!!! Right after I read the reviews I began to write this!! I couldn't believe how much you LOVED it!! (Especially you Mudfur!!) Hope this is as good or even better!!
If any of you did not see the review I posted I suggest you READ it!!!!!!! To answer your questions, 1. Sootfur gets a yes! (I miss him too :) , though he will not have that big a part.) 2. Feathertail gets a definate maybe, she will be hard to work into the story. 3. Willowpelt gets an absolute YES!!!!!!!! NOTE: I know we all have our favs from the orginal series, new prophecy and power of three that are in Starclan, but if you could put up your fav living warrior (can be from any clan except Skyclan.) that would be great i cnat have the whole of Starclan walking around that would just be weird!! I need some living warriors guys!!!! An to answer any future question I WILL NOT bring a dead warrior back to life.
"Sparrowkit come on!" Sparrowkit turned around to see his sister waiting beside the fresh kill pile. Needlekit had already taken a vole and padded toward the nursery. The nursery! How could he have forgotten about Honeyfern?
"You grab something for us to share."
"Where are you going?" Sparrowkit turned to see Shadekit's confused expression.
"I have to…" His sentence was cut of by cats pelting threw the thorn tunnel. The returning Darkclan warriors brought the scent of the forest with them. The three warrior's mad dash had caught the attention of the camp. Mousewhisker and Hollyleaf scrambled out of the warriors den to meet the patrol. Icepaw padded out of the apprentice den to join the gathered cats.
"Something bad must have happened." Shadekit pressed herself against Sparrowkit.
"Nothing Darkclan can't handle." Needlekit padded up to his siblings with a superior look.
"I wasn't talking to you." Shadekit snarled at her brother. Needlekit shied away from his sister. Sparrowkit twitched his whiskers in amusement. Shadekit hated Needlekit with every hair on her pelt, personally he wasn't too fond of his brother either.
"Shush I want to here." Shadekit fell silent at Sparrowkit's command.
"Where's Bramblestar?" Berrynose swung his head around to look for the leader. Berrynose's apprentice Toadpaw quivered with excitement at his mentor's side.
"What's going on?" Lionblaze, Darkclan's deputy, padded into the camp.
"Where's Bramblestar?"
"He went out with Foxpaw this morning for battle training." Icepaw, Lionblaze's sweet apprentice, informed the patrol.
"What happened?" Lionblaze thrust his way into the middle of the patrol.
"We scented Windclan in the woods." Sparrowkit turned to look at the warrior who had spoken. Poppyfrost kept shifting her weight and her tail was twitching.
"How dare Windclan come back!" Needlekit snarled furiously. "Father should have killed them when he had the chance." Sparrowkit turned to look at his brother. Kill cats? In cold blood? No honorable warrior would ever do that.
"Bramblestar must be informed immediately!" Lionblaze began to pace towards the Highledge.
"Why don't you get him then?" The snarled response made Lionblaze freeze. Sparrowkit turned to look at Spiderleg. The senior warrior always frightened him. Thornclaw and Spiderleg where always tormenting him and his siblings. His mother had told him that they didn't support Bramblestar and this was their way of fighting back. Lionblaze turned to face him. The cold gleam in Lionblaze's eyes made him tremble. Shadekit pressed closer to him. Before the two toms could rip each other apart Icepaw intervened.
"I'll go find Bramblestar." Her quiet voice echoed around the camp. Sparrowkit always liked Icepaw. She was kind, smart and she always kept her cool, unlike her insane brother.
"No need." Bramblestar padded out of the thorn tunnel followed by Foxpaw. "Now tell me what's going on."
Berrynose began to describe what had happened. While on portal Toadpaw had scented Windclan deep inside the territory. After doing a quick sweep of the area the portal had raced back to warn the camp.
Bramblestar's fur began to bristle. "We could be under attack."
"Shall I organize a portal and track them?" Lionblaze padded to Bramblestar's side.
"No, if Windclan are in our territory they will attack here first. All the warriors and apprentices will stay in the camp." Bramblestar gazed at the cats surrounding him. "Where are Hazeltail, Birchfall, Thornclaw and Rosepaw?" Bramblestar looked at Lionblaze expectantly. He gazed around in confusion.
"They went hunting near the old Shadowclan border." Icepaw padded up to the leader.
"Seems like your apprentice knows more than you," Bramblestar's sarcastic comment infuriated Lionblaze. He glared at Icepaw who in turn flattened her ears.
"Poppyfrost take Toadpaw and bring the patrol back. Berrynose, Hollyleaf patrol around the outside of the camp. Spiderleg guard the entrance. Mousewhisker and Icepaw stay in the camp. Lionblaze come with me to my den." Bramblestar began to pad towards his den, with his deputy at his side. As they passed the fresh kill pile Needlekit bounded forward. "Father what can we do?"
Bramblestar looked down at his kits in surprise. Obviously he had no idea they had been listening. Needlekit looked at Bramblestar expectantly. "You three can return to the nursery, where you belong." Bramblestar began to pad towards his den. Sparrowkit wasn't surprised at his father's answer, but he was surprised at his brother's response.
"No."
Bramblestar turned around slowly. Sparrowkit watched his father pad up to Needlekit. He lowered his muzzle a whisker length from Needlekit.
"Nursery, now." He snarled. Needlekit flattened his ears and padded into the bramble nursery.
Bramblestar raised his head and looked at Sparrowkit and Shadekit.
"On our way father," Sparrowkit's even voice echoed around the empty camp. Satisfied that his kits where in no danger Bramblestar leaped up on the Highledge and slipped into his den followed by Lionblaze. Sparrowkit made his way across the clearing toward the nursery. He could here his mother scolding Needlekit and the other queens beginning to fortify the nursery. He looked at the quiet clearing. If Windclan had come back, possibly with some of the Thunderclan warriors, Darkclan was doomed. The clan was strong, but small. Darkclan had excellent warriors but from the stories his father had told him Windclan was large, and Thunderclan was fierce. Maybe Bramblestar would send a scout to the Tigerclan camp. Hawkstar would send a patrol of Tigerclan warriors to help his brother. Maybe Hawkstar himself would come. Bramblestar had told him many stories of his uncle, and how he was dying to meet the newest kin of Tigerstar. Sparrowkit's thoughts where interrupted by his sisters hiss.
"Where are you going?" Sparrowkit stared at his sister in confusion.
"The nursery."
"So Squirrelflight can take another swipe at you? No way! Let's go see Jayfeather." Shadekit began to pad towards the medicine cats den. Sparrowkit took one last look at the nursery and began to pad after his sister.
"Won't Squirrelflight wonder where we are?"
Shadekit turned to him with an amused look. "A horde of badgers could come blundering through the camp and eat us right before her eyes, and she wouldn't lift a claw to save us."
"True." He purred. They had reached the medicine den. Jayfeather slipped out from the bramble screen.
"Escape from the nursery again?"
Shadekit let out a small purr. "Didn't even go in."
Jayfeather let out a meow of laughter, "Smart, come in before some cat forces you back to the nursery." Shadekit padded into the den. Sparrowkit began to follow her but was stopped when a breeze began to blow, and a voice could be heard. Upon wings of fire whispered the breeze. Sparrowkit glanced at Jayfeather. Jayfeather's eyes sparkled with untold secrets. He leaned down to Sparrowkit. "Some questions are better answered later." Sparrowkit nodded toward him, understanding completely. With that he padded into the den, just as the breeze died away.
