CHAPTER 6
Cinderpaw's heart felt heavy and fragile. In front of her very eyes, was her mother, her dead mother?
"Cherryfrost, is it really you?" Sunwhisker asked as his voice cracked. "I thought you died. All this time, where were you my love?" Sunwhisker seemed to wince with every word.
"OH my love, I'm so sorry" Cherryfrost was now wailing. "The badgers they-"her sentence was stopped by Flowerstar.
"Sorry to interrupt this reunion, but you can discuss this in Thunderclan, we best be going now. See you next gathering." Flowerstar added. Windclan, Shadowclan, and finally Riverclan left the island. Leaving Thunderclan's confused warriors on the island.
"Ok, every one head to camp," said Larkstar, still frazzled.
S-She's really alive! Oh my Starclan. Cinderpaw trailed at the end with Timberpaw, while Sparrowpaw followed them. "I can't believe momma is alive!" Timberpaw sounded excited, yet angry.
"At least she came back for you!" snapped Sparrowpaw. "My parents didn't care much about me to come back." She started to walk away from them when Larkstar came over.
"Wait Sparrowpaw, I knew your mother and father, sweetie." said Larkstar sadly. "My little kitten, it's a discussion for another day though." she said as she ran to Flamestorm.
"She knew your parents! That's a good start," said Timberpaw as he licked her ears.
"Yeah I guess so," she said smiling.
Lovebirds "Guys I'm going to talk to Sunwhisker," said Cinderpaw. She rushed over to her father whose tail was dragging. "Daddy, what happened that day?"
Sunwhisker looked at her sadly, "My dear it's a long story." "Badgers started to rush into camp, and fight. We were prepared though. Your mother had given birth to you and Timberpaw just a moon before," his voice cracked. "She defended the nursery, until a badger kicked her jaw, knocking her out. I was running to her when it picked her up and left. We thought she died, and searched forever." "That's why we thought she died."
By the time the story was over, they were at camp. Cherryfrost went to the top of the rock pile and told us the story.
"After the badger stole me, I woke up weak. I tried to find my way back, but a two-leg grabbed me. He took me to a white den, and the other one healed me. I was far from home, and had been trying to get to you ever since." exclaimed Cherryfrost. "I'm so sorry"
After Larkstar discussed, they let Cherryfrost back into Thunderclan. "Momma, I'm so glad you're back!" yelled her kits happily
This last part of the chapter will be told from Sparrowpaw's point of view, ok? Get it? Got it? Good!
I'm so happy for them. Sparrowpaw watched as her best friends family reunite. Do I have a family? If so, why give me up?! She felt her anger boil inside. "Sparrowpaw come here please, you too Flamestorm," said Larkstar sadly. "Sweetie…we are your parents," said Larkstar with Flamestorm.
Sparrowpaw felt dizzy. "Why would you hide this from me," she cried. "I've felt like a loner this whole time." Sobs over took her, causing her to fall. Flamestorm helped her up.
"Sparrowpaw we were going to announce it tonight, we promise." Said Flamestorm
"We just want to be a family," said Larkstar.
I have a family! Thank you Starclan! "Ok, I want to be a family too," said Sparrowpaw.
Flamestorm suddenly wrapped Larkstar and Sparrowpaw in a tight embrace. "I'll never let go of you my precious beauties" he promised.
OMFG! Another surprise! "Oops I did it again! And 600 words, I'm proud of myself. Please give me feedback and suggestions, please! I love hearing from you guys. Also, what is Tallpaw up to?! (wiggles eyebrow) wait and see! -Majesty
