Chapter 10

Hey babes! I'm sorry I haven't posted earlier today, but I'm posted two tonight! Enjoy! This is a special chapter for Captain Bat and Fox. Enjoy you guys. Told in Foxstar's POV

Foxstar walked out of their newly finished camp. She turned around to look at the beautiful cave. It really is starting to feel like a home. She and Juniperfrost were sleeping in the warrior's den, while all 6 apprentices slept in the new apprentice den.

She followed the small river out to the peaceful waterfall. This is my favorite spot in all of MemoryLand. I love that this place is like a paradise. She heard crunching of twigs and grass, and noticed Daisypaw walking over to her. "Hello baby!" Foxstar rushed to her daughter. She is so much like Wolftail. Foxstar's heart stung at the memory of her mate.

6 moons ago…

Foxstar had just given birth to Daisykit, and Wolftail's pale gray tabby fur was shining as her stood with her in the nursery. "My love, she is gorgeous!" His eyes were filled with tears of joy. Foxstar smiled tiredly. I did it. Juniperfrost was lying next to her newborn kits, who had been born just a few days before Daisykit. They will be great friends.

Hawkfeather, the tom filling in for Juniperfrost, who was deputy stepped into the nursery. Wolftail grumbled, and licked Foxstar's muzzle. "Hello gorgeous," Hawkfeather purred. Wolftail tensed, but ignored him. Hawkfeather snickered and walked over to Foxstar.

He bent down and smiled at Foxstar. "Time for me to become a father," he whispered grimly. W-What is her talking about?! Juniperfrost must have overheard him, because she carried her kits over to Foxstar and snuggled her protectively.

Wolftail snarled ta the tom. "I think it's time for you to go Hawkfeather. You've obviously overstayed your welcome." Wolftail brought his lips back in an evil snarl, standing over his family protectively. Grayfur, Juniperfrost's mate, walked into the nursery.

He fluffed up his dark gray fur, the black stripe along his back menacing. "Hawkfeather leave now!" His voice was calm and icy, sending shivers up Foxstar's spine. Grayfur is always calm. Something is wrong! "Hawkfeather, I know that you were the cat the killed the poor innocent kit that was starving by our border. We could have saved him!" Gray fur snarled and pounced on Hawkfeather, who screamed in surprise.

Juniperfrost led Foxstar and their kits into the clearing as Wolftail joined the fight. "Wolftail no!" Foxstar cried out for her mate, but Hawkfeather clawed her cheek in the process. Wolftail yowled something that was drowned out in the chaos of the fight.

"They are strong; they will be ok!" Juniperfrost cried as she dragged the wailing Foxstar away. She witnessed blindly as Hawkfeather sunk his jaws into Wolftail's throat, and flung him out of the camp, right next to the rushing river. Foxstar and Grayfur wailed and raced over to him. Foxstar collapsed over Hawkfeather, who had collapsed from exhaustion and blood loss.

Grayfur was bent over Wolftail's body, and he was loosing blood, fast. Juniperfrost helped Foxstar over to Wolftail's bleeding body. NO! Foxstar ran over to his side, herbs in her paws, ready to heal him. She started cleaning his wounds, and stuffing herbs in all the gashes. Many hours later, Wolftail was cleaned up, but still not stirring. Foxstar never left his side, and neither did Grayfur.

"Foxstar, he's hasn't moved for hours." Grayfur said sadly, tears falling down his face.

"No! I won't give up on him now!" She hissed. Grayfur flinched and nodded sadly. She felt guilt worming in her stomach. "Grayfur, I'm sorry. I just can't give up on him," Foxstar tried so hard not to shed any tears, but they just started falling. Grayfur wrapped his tail around her shoulders and she lied her head on his flank. Wolftail started to stir, and Foxstar bolted to his side.

"Wolftail! Please wake up! I can't afford to loose you now!" Foxstar wailed she she bolted to his side. He lifted up his head slightly.

He smiled his loveable crooked smile. "My love, I would never leave you," he promised as he placed his paw on her heart. His lipped out of consciousness, and rested her head on Foxstar's belly. She smiled sadly and licked his fur.

Foxstar had left Wolftail with Grayfur for a minute to get rid of Hawkfeather, who's body was still in camp. She walked over to the nursery, only to find a puddle of blood. Oh no…

Foxstar bolted out of camp to Wolftail, wind raging and tearing at her fur. She could hear an ear-splitting shriek, and a thud. When she arrived. Grayfur was standing protectively over Wolftail, and Hawkfeather was nowhere to be seen. Grayfur let out a breath and fell the ground. "I've failed him," he whispered. Grayfur closed his eyes.

Foxstar held in a sob as she stumbled towards them. Suddenly, the ground started to shake. "What's going on?!" Foxstar shrieked, as the two tom's bodies slipped into the rushing river. "No!" She ran over to where the had fell in, trying to find them. "Wolftail! Grayfur!" She cried as she lost sight of their fur. Juniperfrost ran to her side, scared and crying. Her jaw was misshapen, and she was covered in blood.

"I-I tried to run to you, but Hawkfeather kicked my jaw! I s-saw them, fall!" She started sobbing, and they both comforted each other.

Now…

Foxstar didn't realize that she was crying until Daisypaw wiped away the tears. "Don't cry momma, daddy is watching from Starclan," she smiled. Suddenly, the bushes started rustling, and two toms bolted out. Their fur was messy and dirty. Foxstar's heart stared to race when she recognized the two toms. W-Wolftail and G-Grayfur. Messy Wolftail walked over to Foxstar slowly.

He placed his paw on her racing heart. "I told you that I would never leave you," he whispered in her orange ear. They looked into each other's eyes.

"W-Wolftail?"
