Biggish chapter I suppose...
Cyspin's P.O.V.
I glanced anxiously at Spark, he'd just learned of this thing called star clan from Eagledawn. The pretty tortoiseshell she cat had been visiting us frequently, "Why's he so interested in Starclan?" Eagledawn asked from her spot next to me.
"I don't know," I said, "I should probably bring you back now." I said.
Eagledawn nodded, "Alright." she said. The we padded off.
I padded to the cave where we resided. The cave was well guarded with thick thorn bushes surrounding it. A cave raised up in the middle, just low enough for a cat to leap on top of it, then at the bottom of the rocky raise was a thin hole that led to a cave big enough for the four of use to have plenty of room to move around in, above the hole jutted out a rocky over crop, and around the hold was surrounded by thick under growth, making it safe from flooding and wind. Spark was resting on top the rocky raise deep in thought, warming his pelt in the pale dawn light, I glanced around Glaze, one of my brothers a silver tom with blue eyes rested on the jut out grooming his shining pelt. My other brother Shadow and dark grey tom with silver eye's was no where to be found. I padded over the raise and leaped up on to the jut out next to Glaze, "What do you think Spark's planning? He seems really interested in this Starclan." I said to my brother.
"I don't know Cyspin, but what ever it is, it will probably end in something big." he stated.
"You're right he seems to be really interested in these clans. What do you think he's plotting?" I said, not even I with my clever choice of words could ever get Spark to revel a plan until he fully developed it, until he had all the answers, until he knew for sure every little detail. I glanced up at Spark, his eyes were closed, deep in thought, then suddenly his eye lashed open as they did there was a shuffling in the only way through the thorns, as Shadow stepped into the clearing trialed by another tom a tabby with light blue eyes. Spark's ears priced with interest as he leaped down from the raise. Glaze and I followed him curiosity getting the better of us.
"Shadow, who's this?" Spark asked his tone calm as well as his whole demeanor, that was the thing about Spark, he was excellent at masking every bit of what he was feeling, that's what made him dangerous.
"This cat goes by the name Hawkstorm, he was once of the clans, he can tell you about Starclan." Shadow told Spark.
Spark's interest seemed to greaten at this, "Can he now." Spark said.
"The question is will he." I said from beside Glaze.
Spark turned his head and stared at me for a second, "You're right," he turned back to Hawkstorm, "will you?" he asked.
"I will only if in turn you allow me to shelter here." he responded.
Spark thought for a moment processing the gain's and risk, it seemed the gain's over weight the risks for Spark nodded and then led Hawkstorm to the cave, he obviously wanted to talk to this tom alone.
I sighed then turned to Shadow, "Hey wanna do some battle practice?" I asked my battle loving brother.
"What kind of question is that?" He asked, then crouched low on the ground, I smirk and crouch low as well.
Waterpaw's P.O.V.
I crouched low as I spotted a mouse , I stalked it carefully and then measured the distance, only mouse lengths away, I got ready to pounce, but then I hear a stick snap and the mouse darted away, I looked down around my paw's there were no sticks to be stepped on. The I looked up and spotted a golden brown she cat with red eyes creep through the undergrowth into the open, I raised out of my crouch, she spotted and then she panicked, "Who are you?" I asked.
"I am Able. You?" she stated. A rouge.
"My name is Waterpaw, why are you on Wetclan territory?" I asked.
"Hunting." She stated .
"But the rouge's island is on the other side of the lake." I said remembering the split in the river that I'd seen on the way to a gathering.
"SO? Unlike you clan cat's we have no limits." She said.
"Yeah but the warrior code say's I'm supposed to chase you off our territory." I said.
Able shrugged, then decided to change the subject, "I've seen you hunting before. You're really good." she said.
"Thaaank? You?" I said taken back by her random statement. Able nodded.
"Now so you don't get in trouble I'll leave." she said then turned and padded off.
Shade's P.O.V.
My ear's pricked as I spotted the dark grey pelt of Metalstain across the river, now there was a she cat who hated me. After watching her for a few heart beats I decided to cross the river and bother her, so carefully I followed the river to the place where there were stepping stones were submerged about half a leg deep under the river then I padded across to the other side and padded back to where I'd seen Metalstain, I spotted her stalking a finch. I stood my distance and watched her creep toward it, her form was perfect, her black eyes fixed on her target as her paw seemed to glide across the ground as she got closer then measuring the distance she sprung, landing squarely onto of the finch, the finch let out a called that was cut short and Metalstain killed it, "Excellent catch Metalstain." I called to her.
I could fell annoyance coming off her in waves, she didn't turn to me as she set down the finch, "Why do you insist on annoying me?" she asked her back still to me.
"What can I say you're just irresistible," I said, a smirk creeping across my face, "why do you insist on letting me annoy you?" I challenged. She kept her back to me, "why not just attack me? Get rid of me? Why not chase my off?" I asked. Metalstain stayed silent, "Well?" I asked.
She whipped around suddenly, "Just shut up! You're horrible! I hate you!" she snapped then grabbed her finch and charged off. I watched her go, fighting back the urge to follow her and instead turned back toward the river, I spotted Sabriel sitting on the other side eyes fixed on me. I padded over to the stepping stones and crossed back over and padded over to her.
"Shade you're an idiot." she said with a glare.
"How is it I manage to get ever she cat I come across to tell me that?" I responded crossly.
"Because it's true! You're stupid!" She snapped.
"Thanks but I got that enough times when I broke it off with Twilight I don't need it from you. I wouldn't talk either you're the one who's mate is of the cat you said you despised." I snapped.
"Basilleaf's different the other Flameclan cats!" she yelled.
"Really? How do you think Night would feel about you're little affair with Basilleaf?" I snapped. At once I knew I went to far and I wished I could take those words back.
"Shade you mouse brained jerk!" she snapped, then whipped around and began to pad away.
"Sabriel! Wait!" I called after her. Then I watched as an almost black grey tom slipped out of the undergrowth and pounced at her, "Sabriel! No!" I called, but then the weight of another cat dropped on top of me. I rolled over, knocking the cat off me and charged at the black grey tom who had Sabriel pinned and was battering her with one paw, "get off of her!" I yelled an leaped. The grey cat saw me coming and swiftly moved out of the way, panic struck me as I saw I was going to crash strait in to Sabriel's swollen belly, I felt determination spark in me as I pushed myself to one side and wiped out skidding and rolling across the ground, pain spiked in me as my back collided with something hard, then in an instant a blue grey tom was on me batting me, I guess that was the tom that attacked me when I tried to save Sabriel the first time. I closed my eyes and flailed my claws at him feeling my claws meet pelt a few times then another weight dropped on to me pinning me I opened my eyes to see the dark grey tom, his silver eyes gleaming with twisted joy. The blue grey tom leaned forward and was about to bit my throat when I felt him be dragged off of my, then I saw a flash of tortoiseshell pelt as the dark grey tom was tackled off of me. I stood and stared in astonishment as I saw Metalstain, dripping wet fiercely battling the blue grey tom. Then I looked over and saw Sabriel panting hard as she batted at the black grey tom. Then suddenly yowls were heard and a Blood red tom busted in to the clearing with a Silver tom the two were followed by a tabby tom with light blue eyes.
"Spark! The tortoiseshell! She the one Eagledawn described to us." The blue grey tom called to the blood red tom.
The red tom's eyes gleamed dangerously, "Perfect well done Cyspin Shadow." he said then charged at Sabriel who was barley holding off the deep grey tom who I guessed to be shadow.
I jetted after the cat called Spark and jumped tackling him to the ground, he glared up at me with his deep grey eyes, "Stay away from her." I said then suddenly I felt another cat crash into me and caught a glimpse of silver fur. Spark smirked as he rose to his paws and continued on his course toward Sabriel and Shadow. The silver tom stated battering my belly with his hind claws. Then I heard a wail of pain from where Metalstain was battling the blue grey tom, Cyspin. Suddenly a meow sounded, "Stop!" the silver tom froze and looked up and when I glanced around so did Shadow, Spark and Cyspin. I looked to see Sleek standing at the edge of the clearing.
"Spark, Cyspin, Glaze, Shadow, leave them alone." she snapped. Spark who seemed to be the leader twitched his tail and padded toward Sleek.
"But big brother we're only full filling a promise we made to a friend." she said the Sleek.
"Wait did he just call Sleek Big brother?" I thought mentally.
"I don't care I will not allow you to harm my friends." Sleek snapped.
"Sorry big brother, but there's nothing you can do about it." Spark said then pounced at Sleek instantly the battle continued. The silver tom I guessed was Glaze lashed at my face raking his claws across my cheek. I let out a furious yowl and pushed up ward with my hind legs sending the tom flying and crashing into the tabby tom. I stood and looked over at Metalstain she laid motionless on the ground Cyspin was charging toward Shadow and Sabriel, who was being badly slashed at by Shadow, I looked from Metalstain to Sabriel then decided Metalstain would be fine. I charged toward Cyspin and dove at his paws causing him to lose balance and fall.
Sabriel's P.O.V.
I weakly lashed at the tom who was unmercifully swiping at me with his sharp claws. The silver tom was dashing toward us and the tabby tom was heading toward Shade, then I heard a familiar voice call, "Shade!" and when I looked I saw Frost charging across the river and the diving into the tabby tom.
Then I saw the dark grey she cat slam into the silver tom, she was bleeding badly and her breathing was fast but she continued on, "Greypaw! Be careful these tom's are dangerous!" she called to Frost. Frost glanced up at the she cat the continued fight the tabby tom. Suddenly the blood red tom crashed into the dark grey she cat, my eyes widened as I got s close glimpse of his paws and saw that he had an extra claw on each paw.
Then I heard a cat call my name, "Sabriel!" I hardly believed it as I saw Basilleaf pounce on to the sliver tom that had been heading toward me, then I saw sleek fly over me and slam into the dark grey tom.
The blood red tom jumped away form the dark grey she cat seeing that they were out numbered, "Fall back!" He yowled and instantly the silver tom the dark grey and blue grey tom wriggled free form there fights and headed toward the red tom, the tabby tom followed them, then the five cats bolted into the under growth.
Greypaw's P.O.V.
I padded over to my brother and lick the claw marks on his cheek, "Greypaw your fighting skills are great!" he meowed. I purred then glanced up at Sleek who was over next to Sabriel and Metalstain was staring at Shade.
"I'm going to see Sleek and Sabriel." I said an padded over to them.
"Frost it's good to see you again." Sabriel mewed weakly.
"I'm not Frost any more my names Greypaw now." I stated proudly.
"Sabriel are you ok?" Basilleaf asked her.
"Yes now go to your clan mate." she said. Basilleaf nodded and turned to Metalstain.
"Greypaw!" I heard some one call and turned to see Blackpaw on the other side of the river.
I padded over to Shade and licked him between the ears "Bye Shade." I said then padded over and crossed the river. Blackpaw gave me a questioning look as he glance back at Shade, "that's my older brother." I told him he nodded and we both started back toward camp.
Uh oh big battle.
