2 Chapters in two days. I'm on a roll. School seems to be easier now it's almost half term XD. Here goes!
Chapter 9: Thunderclan
Night POV
We left Shadowclan with no remorse. The only one who seemed sad to leave was Ice. 'I wonder why. No wait I don't because it's all Silverpaw in her eyes. Well I kind of understand…' I thought.Ice walked closer to me.
"Night I need to tell you something. There's a prophecy about us, all of us, even Silverpaw." I cut her off.
"Don't tell me you're going to join Shadowclan for him?!" None of us liked it there; it was too dark and damp. Ice looked shocked.
"No way! I want to join Thunderclan if I'm being fully honest with you. Look Tigerstar is out to get us but Starclan helped me banish him till we all got our warrior, or medicine cat, names. Before he left he said 'I'll kill you all, starting with the Ice Fire.' He can't mean me right? He had me pinned if he was going to kill me first he would of done it already. I wonder who it is…" She trailed off. My emerald eyes flicked to her.
"Ice, we'll be ready by then. I know it," I hoped my words didn't sound as hollow as they felt. She nodded and walked over to Hawk.
We reached the Thunderclan border. Three cats were waiting for us.
"I am Stormpelt, senior warrior of Thunderclan. This is Foxfeather, also a senior warrior. And this," She said while nodding to an apprentice, "Is Grasspaw. Bramblestar would like to welcome you to our clan. Please follow us." We did follow. They moved fast but I saw Ice keeping up with me and Stormpelt. The only people not keeping up were Stream and Hawk. Obviously, Hawks injuries were slowing him and Stream refused to leave his side. We ran through the bramble tunnel and stopped in the main clearing.
"Ah young apprentices. Hello and welcome to Thunderclan. Now tonight I want you to meet the clan members and eat our prey. Tomorrow, you will go hunting. Then, leave for Windclan. Stormpelt you show Night and Rock around. Hawk you can go to the medicine den to meet Jayfeather. Grasspaw I want you to show Stream around. Foxfeather show Ice around and make sure everything goes smoothly," Bramblestar tells us.
Stormpelt lets me and Rock mingle for a while. I meet a lot of cats. Rock seems uncaring and just wants to train. He's so, uniform. Stormpelt shows us around and then send us to the apprentice den. She stops me from leaving though.
"Night, if you join Thunderclan I want to request Bramblestar to make me your mentor." At that my heart leaps. Stormpelt is a great warrior and she really likes me. Now I know that Thunderclan will welcome me.
Ice POV
Foxfeather seems bitter but I can feel that she likes me. It's almost a sixth sense. She tells me we will train in the morning I slip off to the den and curl up near the others. I wonder how Hawk is feeling. He's a medicine cat now and can't be with others, and there's the whole Tigerstar problem. 'He's gone till we get our proper names' I assured myself. I sleep.
Hawk POV
Jayfeather seems very bitter. He told me that he lost his old apprentice and wasn't really ready for that again.
"Jayfeather, I know what it's like to lose someone you love." He turns to me, eyes blazing in fury.
"No you don't know! You haven't lost what I have lost you don't know what it was like being one of the three!" He yells at me. I stare at him.
"No I don't but, I do know what it's like to be hunted down by Tigerstar," I say calmly. He stares at me, his blind eyes studying me.
"Go on," He replies. I tell him everything, from Stoneteller to Ice. He listens and doesn't interject at any time.
"Hawk you and the others have a great destiny, don't make the mistake I did, not listening to my ancestors. They know things Hawk, patience is needed," He tells me.
I see a black outline sit next to Jayfeather.
"So you've finally learned sharp eyed jay," The cat says.
"Yellowfang! I ummm."
"You were telling your possible apprentice the truth and he needed to learn it. So, this is the chosen one. Jayfeather – Or should I say Jay's wing," he winces at that, "it's time to tell him the prophecy." Jay whatever nods.
"From the Silver moon shining in the Night, to the Rock standing guard by the Stream. The Hawk will take flight, but the Tiger will stop him. The Ice Fire will die to save another. The star will engulf all evil and the Ice shall rise again!" They chorus. Yellowfang fades and Jayfeather melts away. 'What in Starclan did that mean!' I thought.
OK so maybe it was short but I wanted to finish on a cliffie and that was all I could think of. But because it's half term, expect more chapters more frequently for a week! So Hawk what did you think that was about?
Hawk: Well I get that Silverpaw, Night, Rock and Stream are involved at the beginning. Hawk will take flight must be referring to me and the Tiger part is fairly simple. The Ice Fire can't be Ice because she's the star so she can't be dead then. The Ice shall rise again may mean a lot..
Me: well I can't tell you the Ice Fire reference…. But maybe the readers get it? Write what you think in the review section. What does the prophecy mean?
Ice: Argghhhhh Can we hurry up with this please!
Me: Before you can react I will say Icefire out!
Ice: Ice out!
Hawk: Hawk out!
