Chapter 9
"Mm..." with that, Blazewhisker nodded still looking uninterested and bored. Her eyelids halfway closing her eyes making it seem like she had just woken up from a long sleep. "We've met at the Thunderpath. Many times before in the past. Including the battle with SunClan."
Aquaclaw looked confused as to how she didn't notice Blazewhisker going to the Thunderpath during the day or leaving the camp suspiciously. Wolfshade blinked at the two hostile cats and sighed, it would take a long time for them to get used to each other. He decided to move away from the scene and waved his tail for Aquaclaw to follow; it didn't make sense just standing around here all day. They entered their leader's den, blocking sunlight from the hole. They dipped their head respectively.
"Yes?" Petalstar asked. Her eyes glimmered in the dark and her pelt camouflaging in the den.
"Petalstar, we have brought a cat into our clan. Her name is Shellsoul and is said that she has been in SunClan. She has somehow survived and Blazewhisker seemed to have already met her in the past." Wolfshade began the conversation.
"Shellsoul?" Petalstar asked flicking her tail tip. "She used to be in our clan." She paused, thinking over something's. "She may be welcomed into the clan. However, I want all of you, including Silverwing and Blazewhisker, to look after her. Make sure she doesn't come up with anything funny, she has been in SunClan a lot longer than in BlazeClan."
With that, Aquaclaw and Wolfshade nodded and padded out of the den. They came across a scene where Blazewhisker was growling at the spitting image of herself, snapped back at her and stalked off under the shade of a tree. The two exchanged glances, then decided to head over to Shellsoul and inform her of her acceptance in the clan.
Dusk broke out into the forest, light moon rays shone onto the trees and grass. A certain dark golden tabby padded out of the gorse tunnel, her fur glimmering under the moonlight. Her eyes glinting and her paws scuffling against each other every pawstep of the way. She came across a certain boundary between CloudClan and BlazeClan. Her eyes landed on the first thing that had moved in the wide open area. A silver gray tabby had disbanded from his patrol in search for the source of the noise which was coming from Shellsoul. Her claws unsheathed, her fangs gritted against each other and there was a murderous look in her eyes. Tonight there will be blood…
Unfortunately, a certain other tabby was following her around just so she could make sure she wouldn't do any funny business. Who else would be so cautious of the said golden tabby? None other than Blazewhisker of course. She may be part of BlazeClan but that doesn't mean she gets to do whatever she wants. When the dark golden tabby got ready to pounce at the CloudClan cat, Blazewhisker had lunged in at her. She pinned her to the ground with an unsheathed claw and glared daggers at the warrior.
"What the heck is your problem?" Blazewhisker spat. She pressed her paw into her chest some more for a few moments until she decided to let go. The tabby warrior couldn't wait to tell Petalstar what had happened and try to convince her that Shellsoul could not be trusted.
It had been a few days since Shadowfang had been run over by a car. His foot had been healed and the two had been trekking through various places. Mostly roads, towns and forests. During their long journey they had been stealing food from nearby houses that were stocked with lots of sweets, meat and fruits. They were searching for a place to live, mainly in a forest since Shadowfang didn't like going near Twoleg neighborhoods. They stopped at a certain forest which had not much Twoleg activity around there.
"Well, what do you think? Shall we check it out?" Lotus asked. Shadowfang nodded his head in response. They both padded deep into the forest, smelling different scent markers around the areas. The two had past StormClan boundaries, padded away from LeafClan territory, bounded around BlazeClan area and left CloudClan terrains.
"I think we should stay in that place." Lotus pointed to BlazeClan's boundaries with her pale yellow tail. The black stray cat nodded in agreement and walked towards the place while beckoning Lotus with his tail for her to follow. Soon they both crossed paths with a waterfall and decided to see if there was anything behind it. Sure enough, they were able to sleep there, even the water that was crashing onto the river from the ledge didn't make too much noise to disturb them from their slumber.
"Get your fat butt over here you stupid furball!" A certain golden yellow warrior growled at her identical.
"I already told you; I'm not leaving!" Shellsoul snarled back. When Blazewhisker was about to retort back, a sudden yowl of pain echoed through the forest; causing the two to whirl their heads to the direction of the noise.
It was the silver gray tabby from earlier and was being attacked by a reddish brown cat with a white belly. Shellsoul's ice blue eyes narrowed when she recognized the warrior. He was from StormClan and wasn't really trustworthy and was the one to declare war easily. It was Dawncloud.
"Out of my way!" Shellsoul spat; pushing Blazewhisker until she fell to the forest floor. Blazewhisker got up really quickly and decided to help her even if she wasn't trusted in her eyes. The dark golden tabby pounced onto Dawncloud who wasn't expecting the blow and was swept his paws off of the gray tabby that had yellow eyes. Blazewhisker bounded over to the laying gray tabby; thanking the heavens that he was still alive. Picking him up by the scruff she noticed it was an old friend of hers called Skyheart. He was called that because of his free spirited and his never ending dreams which he always says something cheesy like 'Look up to the sky and you'll accomplish your dreams'. Weird cat…
Suddenly, a screech of pain was heard nearby and Blazewhisker set Skyheart down in a spot that was safe from the battle. He hissed in return; she didn't have the right to treat him like a baby.
Bounding up to the fallen cat, the golden tabby warrior gasped when she saw Shellsoul lying limp on the floor with Dawncloud about to give a final blow to end her life. After all, she was a kittypet and Dawncloud was a fierce warrior with amazing strength.
"No!" Blazewhisker yowled, jumping into action.
