If you read this, please review it. I know for a fact that there are a lot more people that read than review thanks to my traffic page. And thanks to Jessica Hope wishes for PMing the her cats warrior names. I was lost on Mistypaw!
Nightpaw's pov.
Nightpaw looked into the sky. The moon had changed again, and RebelClan was meeting.
Nightblaze, as she was known in RebelClan, was one of the first there. Daypaw had lived in the forest, and Bluestar was sitting on her branch. Nightblaze took her position on the rock under the Leader's Branch. On the last meeting, Bluestar had named her deputy. It was exhilarating, she had to admit, being deputy of a rebel clan.
Wildfire had arrived, and Wetfur and Mistyheart emerged from the ferns.
Nightblaze couldn't help but slightly unsheathe her claws as their former TownClan members, Saberheart and Darkpaw, came out.
Tanglefur, RebelClan's medicine cat, had joined them without being recruited. She had just shown up, saying that she heard a rumor. Most likely she had used her power, whatever it was.
Stoneshadow and Waterpaw arrived in the clearing. RebelClan was ready.
Bluestar started off the meeting.
" Thank you all for coming tonight. We have some very good information today, courtesy of Darkpaw."
She gestured with her tail. Darkpaw stepped forward.
" As Coyotehowl's apprentice, I am allowed to visit the former MoorClan camp. Once inside, I discovered something unusual."
All RebelClan perked their ears.
" The eagles aren't constantly controlled. During my visit, one almost swooped down on a kit, before being stopped by Coyotehowl. Since the eagles run wild half of the time, it is possible for a cat to climb the hill without being detected.
Bluestar purred. " Thank you for the information."
" It'll be perfect for a proposal that I was planning on making." said Nightblaze. The clan turned to face her.
" You all know that my brother Blazekit is one of the three hostages. I was wondering what would happen if he were to disappear. Thus I laid out a plan. One of us will distract the eagles while I rescue Blazekit. We'll continue this until all the hostages are gone. Without the hostages, Wolfstar loses her power to threaten the clans, and we can close in once and for all."
The clan applauded quietly. Bluestar beamed. " When are you planning on doing this?"
Nightblaze smiled. " Tonight."
*******
Nightblaze crouched and steathily crept through MoorClan territory. Wildfire was right behind her.
They came to the hill. The eagles were circling overhead.
" They are the major concern." said Nightblaze, looking upward.
" Not really. Their night vision is worse than ours. But they can still hear extremely well." said Wildfire.
Nightblaze didn't ask about it. One of the rules about living in RebelClan was that a curious piece of information wasn't talked about. Generally it was their power.
" Are you sure that you can get out of this alive?" said Nightblaze.
" Confident." said Wildfire.
" Fine. We'll break off here."
Wildfire continued into the shadows. Nightblaze prepared for the climb.
Zip! Nightblaze was at the top of the hill, behind a rock. Zip! She was on top of the den. Zip! In the brambles beside the den.
That's when Nightblaze remembered why she needed a distraction. Darktail was in that den, and they had to get her out.
A distraction arrived in the form of a huge owl. It swooped down and sank its talons into Wolfstar. Wolfstar yowled, and the warriors rushed to help her. Coyotehowl was howling, with no effect.
Darktail was out of the nursery, charging toward the owl.
Zip! Nightblaze was in! Zip! Nightblaze was out, with her brother in her jaws.
They ran home. An exhausted Nightblaze dropped Blazekit alongside Daypaw. The fox opened one sleepy eye and leaped up, embracing his former foster brother.
Nightpaw met up with Wildpaw and got back to the apprentice den. Nightpaw hoped that she could find some way to hide her elation.
Blazekit was free. Daypaw was safe in the forest. One hostage was safe, away from Wolfstar. Others would follow.
WolfClan, right under Wolfstar's nose, was falling apart.
Never get too cocky, Nightpaw. Mwahahahaha! Don't worry, I'll keep Blazekit free, but Wolfstar's not going to let this go.
Don't forget to READ AND REVIEW!
