No ones been reviewing... If people don't review I'm not gonna post another chapter until they do! Well, if anyones listening, here's the next chapter. Enjoy...
"You did WHAT?" Silverpaw screamed. Since she knew Sparrowpaw and Birdpaw were in the prophecy, Sparrowpaw thought it would be okay to tell her that they'd been on ShadowClan territory.
"It was an accident! I was chasing a squirrel, and I was so set on it, that I didn't realize I'd crossed the border." Sparrowpaw tried to explain, but in vain.
"Do you have any idea how much trouble you could get in? And you're in the prophey, sopposedly reuniting the clans, not giving them another reason hate each other!" Silverpaw yelled in her face. Briarlight woke with a start and saw the two she-cats glaring at each other.
"Hey, hey! What's the matter, girls? No need to fight!" she said. The two looked down at there paws.
"Um, sorry. We'll, uh-talk out here." Silverpaw said nervously. Briarlight grumbled.
Sparrowpaw and Silverpaw went back to their tiny little clearing. Silverpaw glared at Sparrowpaw.
"I was an ACCIDENT!" Sparrowpaw said. Silverpaw sighed.
"You carry a big responsibity, being in the prophecy and all. If you get killed, well, it may be the end of the clans." Silverpaw told her. Sparrowpaw said.
"I'm sorry. But I can't just not do anything! I have to-" Sparrowpaw was cut off by a yowling. Cloudtail dashed past.
"SHADOWCLAN ATTACKING!" he yowled. Sparrowpaw and Silverpaw glanced at each other, and followed him quick as lightning.
"Where?" Sparrowpaw asked.
"By the old Twoleg den!" Cloudtail said, not looking back.
"Okay! We'll give 'em some back up until you come with help, 'kay?" Sparrowpaw said rapidly. Cloudtail nodded and they parted ways.
"C'mon!" Silverpaw shouted. She and Sparrowpaw raced to the Twoleg den. There, the sounds of battle and the smells of blood were thick in the air. Brambleclaw, Birchfall, Toadstep, and Skypaw were trying to hold off Snowbird, Seapaw, Tigerheart, and Applefur.
Skypaw and Birchfall were bleeding heavily. Sparrowpaw jumped in immediately, ripping through Applefur's flank. Applefur yowled in pain and turned on her. Applefur swiped at Sparrowpaw's face, causing her white muzzle to turn deep red.
Silverpaw eyed the seen. She saw that Sparrowpaw was not equally matched with Applefur. She lept from herpalce and onto Applefur's brown back, tearing a huge gash. For a medicine cat, she fought like a senior warrior.
"There's Cloudtail with Firestar, Birdpaw, and Thornclaw!" Brambleclaw said happily. The four new cats flew down to them, and Applefur and Snowbird yowled in dismay.
Though they were greatly outnumbered, the ShadowClan patrol didn't retreat, ant they fought hard.
Sparrowpaw meowed cheerfully to her sister. Seapaw caught her off guard and slashed her side. Birdpaw touched Seapaw on the shoulder gently. He turned to look at her, sincerely confused. Birdpaw made a gesture with her head that Sparrowpaw didn't understand, and Seapaw stepped back from her, dipping her head.
Sparrowpaw just stood there trapped in awe. She almost missed it when Snowbird cried, "ShadowClan, RETREAT!" The ThunderClan patrol yowled in triumph, and departed merrily. Sparrowpaw quickened her pace to catch up to Birdpaw.
"What was that?" she whispered. Birdpaw made a submissive gesture.
"Oh, Sparrowpaw. I hope you understand. It's just that..." Birdpaw trailed off. Sparrowpaw faced her, confused.
"What do you mean? I think I understand it perfectly! We're in the prophecy, remember? Well, Lionblaze, Jayfeather, and Dovewing all have powers, and they had a prophecy, too, right? You can control cats from other clans!" Sparrowpaw said excitedly. Birdpaw stared at her, bewildered.
"Sparrowpaw! It-it's nothing like that. Oh, how do I say this..." Birdpaw looked around herself in agony, as if asking anything for back-up.
"Well, what is it?" Sparrowpaw asked, certain that her infernce was right and that Birdpaw just thought it was nothing.
Birdpaw looked down. "I'll tell you when we're in private." Birdpaw went to go support Firestar, who until this moment Sparrowpaw hadn't realized had a large wound that was bleeding very hard.
Suddenly, Sparrowpaw felt a soft tail running its tip along her spine. She turned to see Silverpaw's gentle blue eyes on her.
"I know you must be surprised." she said sweetly. Sparrowpaw cocked her head.
"What are you talking about, Silverpaw?" Silverpaw's eyes widened.
"You mean you haven't realized it?" she said. "How can you not have? Shes your sister, for crying out loud! And, she wasn't that good at hiding it."
Sparrowpaw had no idea what Silverpaw was talking about.
"What in StarClan?" she said. Silverpaw rolled her eyes, and then studied Sparrowpa, as if sizing her up.
"Birdpaw is in love with Seapaw!" she spat in her face. Sparrowpaw nearly fell over while walking. But then, she realized it all made perfect sense. Birdpaw sneaking away at Gatherings; Birdpaw always wanting to o on patrols near the ShadowClan border; Birdpaw recognizing Seapaw's scent.
"Oh..." Sparrowpaw whispered, looking at her paws. Why Birdpaw? Shes the last one you'd ever think as to fall in love with a ShadowClan tom!
They entered the camp, and many cats looking out to see what was going on. A few new kits, which belonged to Cinderheart and Lionblaze.
They should have been celebrating the victory, but with Firestar staggering and grimacing, there wasn't much to be happy about. Much to the clan's dismay, Firestar made his way up to Highledge. It seemed to take all his might to climb up there, so it was a mystery how when he got up there he could say anything.
"We have been victorious. To celebrate the victory, I will name two new warriors. Snowpaw, Skypaw, come forward." he rasped. Snowpaw and Skypaw came up, more nervous that their leader was hurt than that they were becoming warriors.
"Snowpaw, do you promise to defend and protect this clan, even at the cost of your life?" Firestar asked shakily.
"I do." Snowpaw said in a small voice, as if she said it more powerfully, Firestar would be blown away.
"Then with the power of the stars, I name you Snowblossom. We welcome you as a full warrior of ThunderClan." Firestar weased. No one said anything.
"Skypaw, do you-do you-" Firestar stuttered. Every cat held their breath. "Do you promise to defend and protest this clan, even at the cost of your life?"
"I-I do." Skypaw replied.
"With the power of the stars, I name you Skywing. We welcome as a full warrior... of ThunderClan." With the last phrase, Firestar collapsed with exhaustion. Brambleclaw, Graystripe, and Sandstorm picked him up and put him in his den. No one dared to move.
"Is it his last life?" Skywing asked no onein particular.
Sparrowpaw gulped. "I-I don't know."
Is Firestar going to die? You won't find out unless you review! At least if there is anyone reading this, review and give me some ideas for the names of Cinderheart's and Lionblaze's kits.
