CHAPTER 6

(Bramblesky's POV)

Bramblesky watched Rainbreeze out of the corner of her eye, the former RiverClan warrior was eating a mouse outside the warriors den unaware of his mates watchful stare. Bramblesky was about to approach him but at that moment but one of her kits, also a newly made apprentice bursted into camp. "That was awesome!" Gorsepaw exclaimed his tortoiseshell pelt illuminated against the night sky.

His mentor Wildflame flicked his tail crossly, "Be quiet! You don't want to wake the whole Clan now do you?" he questioned, Gorsepaw ducked his head in embarrassment. Bramblesky sighed, she wished each of her kits were treated fairly but everyone in the Clan just seemed to favor Pinepaw. Even Cloudstar, WindClan's noble Clan leader would avoid Gorsepaw at every cost. He acted as though he were scared of the young tom, that made all the other cats afraid to. Plus out of a litter WindClan cats normally favored the she-kits, StarClan knows why!

Flicking her tail crossly Bramblesky padded over to Rainbreeze, "Aren't you going to do something?" she hissed.

Rainbreeze licked a paw before drawing it over an ear, "I don't know what you mean" he meowed coolly.

Bramblesky's brown fur bristled and she resisted the urge to claw her mate over his muzzle, "Your as blind as a badger! Our Clan is favoring Pinepaw, and Gorsepaw is taking it hard!" she growled.

Rainbreeze just flicked his tail, "You mean your Clan, if Gorsepaw were in RiverClan he'd be treated just as well as Pinepaw, if not more!" he retorted.

Bramblesky's eyes darkened and she stared at her mate in shock, he wants to take my kits away from me! Bramblesky dug her claws into the ground, "You will not take my kits away from me!" she growled unsheathing her claws.

Rainbreeze sighed, "I'm sorry love. It's just it's just hard me knowing my mother in RiverClan is dying...I've always missed her, since I never had any siblings and my father died before I was born..." Rainbreeze choked, Bramblesky licked his cheek her anger suddenly fading, replaced with love.

"I understand...but Rainbreeze you can't leave me," she murmured.

Rainbreeze nodded, "I know...I won't...I just miss her..." a tear falls from his eye.

Bramblesky glanced across camp, Gorsepaw is pawing at a mouse his eyes dark.

"I'll be back in a second," Bramblesky meowed padding towards her kit. Gorsepaw looks up his gaze just a bit brighter at the sight of his mother. "How was your third day as an apprentice?" she asked.

Gorsepaw sighed, "Great," he lied.

Bramblesky flicked her tail, "Don't lie to me! Is it Wildflame? Were you hoping for a different mentor? Or is it Pinepaw? Is everyone favoring her? Should I have a word with Cloudstar?" Bramblesky pressed.

Gorsepaw shook his head, "Mom. Its fine, just let me handle it." he mumbled.

Bramblesky licked his forehead, "I'm sure the Clan will come around-" she broke off at a noise from outside camp. Pinepaw leaped into the clearing, Poolflower behind her, Poolflower was carrying a large rabbit in her mouth.

"Nice catch!" Chippedbird rasped from outside the elders den.

Poolflower set it down, "Its not mine. Pinepaw will grow up to be one of WindClan's greatest hunters!" she exclaimed.

Bramblesky's eyes widened, Pinepaw caught that! Pride flooded through her and she rushed over to her kit, licking her forehead, "Oh my little one! That's amazing!" she fussed over her daughter for a few more moments, then she remembered Gorsepaw, turning around she spots her son padding slowly into the apprentice den, his tail dragging on the sandy ground. Pinepaw doesn't seem to notice her brothers disappointment, the whole Clan is crowding around her complimenting her catch. Bramblesky sighs, it is amazing I just wish Gorsepaw caught it!

Just then Cloudstar pads wearily from his den, "What's all this commotion?" he asked, "Can't a cat get a wink of sleep around here?" he added with amusement in his mew, though Bramblesky knows how old her Clan leader is.

"Pinepaw caught this!" Poolflower purred nudging the rabbit forward.

Cloudstar's eyes brightened and he nodded to Pinepaw approvingly, "That's a wonderful catch young one, I know you'll grow up to be a warrior WindClan can be proud of!" he praised, Pinepaw ducked her head in embarrassment. Cloudstar glanced towards the apprentice den, Bramblesky follows his gaze, Gorsepaw was staring at his sister, peeking his head out of the den.

"I've had enough!" Rainbreeze yowls stomping forward. "My mother is dying in RiverClan and I wish to go and spend her last few days with her!" he growls. Bramblesky's heart stopped, she wants to yowl NO! NO! But she can't move.

"What?" Cloudstar demanded.

Rainbreeze flicked his tail, "I'm going back to RiverClan to see my mother before she dies!" he repeated.

Cloudstar's eyes flash, then he narrowed them, "If you leave now, then WindClan will never let you come back!" he growled.

Bramblesky's blue eyes widen. No my love! Stay, stay, stay! Rainbreeze glanced at Bramblesky, pain and love filled his eyes but he bowed his head, "Fine, Cloudstar I'll leave but I wish to take Pinepaw with me," Rainbreeze meowed.

Bramblesky's eyes widen. He can't! He just can't take my kit away! Cloudstar's gaze rests on Bramblesky, for a few moments and then back to Pinepaw.

"My kits are WindClan!" Bramblesky yowls stepping forward.

"They are my kits to! And I'm RiverClan!" Rainbreeze growled, he and Bramblesky have a silent staring contest.

Cloudstar interrupts the silence,"Bramblesky, I am sorry but Rainbreeze is right, he does have a right to take one of his kits with him. I cannot stop him, so Rainbreeze you and Pinepaw will leave at dawn, take this time to say goodbye."


Dun Dun Dun DUN! Did any of you see that coming? o.O
