I am just on a roll today aren't I? I think I've put in 3 chapters today! I'm planning on this story having 18 chapters and an Epilogue. Oh that Epilogue will be fun! If you read my profile when I had that update up, I have this whole story planned out, roughly, but I don't mind extra details!
Enjoy the update!
Amberpaw had been telling Yewpaw and Coalpaw about Eaglepaw and Fawnpaw at the gathering.
"They were so mean to me!" she whined.
"They're just mean mousebrained, foxhearted…" Yewpaw began.
"Badgerheaded…" Mintpaw put in.
"Crowfood eating…" Spiderpaw added.
"Apprentices." Nightpaw finished.
"You know," Spiderpaw began, "I'm not sure that Meadowleaf and Springstorm are our parents."
"They must be!" Lilacpaw meowed.
"They haven't really been supportive and they don't really seem to care about us anymore…"
"They're just busy with Meadowleaf's new kit," Lilacpaw pouted.
"I had a dream the other night," Hazelpaw began, "I wasn't going to tell anyone, but I think you should know."
"Go on," Mintpaw urged.
"In my dream, there were two white boulders falling down opposite hills. They ran into each other and from inside one came nine tiny black rocks and one white rock. The white rock collided with the black rocks and its white shell fell off exposing its black interior."
"Strange."
"So I think that Meadowleaf and Springstorm really are…" Sunpaw breathed heavily, and Hazelpaw continued softly, "our parents."
"That white rock must be our sibling," Spiderpaw pointed out, "But what about the white shell and the black shell?"
"Yeah," Mintpaw agreed sleepily.
"Let's sleep on it," Amberpaw meowed, yawning.
"Fine by me," Spiderpaw meowed.
They all curled up together and fell sound asleep.
"Nightpaw!" Harefoot's voice came from outside, "I'm going hunting! Want to come?"
"Sure."
He followed her white pelt out into the forest.
"We're hunting with Mintpaw and Oakstorm," Harefoot announced as Mintpaw and Oakstorm padded towards them.
"We're going to hunt near RedClan territory this time," Oakstorm decided, his eyes flashing with challenge.
"You two will hunt together, and Oakstorm and I shall hunt together. We'll have a contest to see who can bring back the most fresh-kill. I challenge you both to bring back a finch or crow," Harefoot smiled, "Begin!"
Nightpaw and Mintpaw raced towards the RedClan border. They knew that RedClan had more birds than WhiteClan territory did so it was clear that Harefoot wanted them there.
Nightpaw caught two mice and a crow, and Mintpaw caught a squirrel and a magpie.
A foot crunched the leaves behind Nightpaw, startling the mouse he was stalking.
"You chased away the mouse! Mousedung!" Nightpaw cursed his bad luck, "Who's there?"
"No one you need to know about," a gruff voice answered.
"I'm a WhiteClan warrior and if you don't come out you rogue I will attack you!" Nightpaw threatened.
Mintpaw came up behind him padding softly, "Who- Who's there?" she called.
Nightpaw and Mintpaw crept into the bushes to find a ginger tom with orange eyes staring at them.
"Who're you?" Nightpaw asked.
"You're Firestorm!" Mintpaw yowled.
"Firestorm? Did they find us?" a small red apprentice asked beside him.
"Be quiet, Scarletpaw."
"What are you doing here? This is WhiteClan territory!" Nightpaw hissed.
"I hadn't noticed," the tom meowed sarcastically, "Now leave me be." He sprayed a scent mark on a WhtieClan tree. "Go back to your mothers," he hissed, "You can't stop me."
"Go back and get Harefoot and Oakstorm," Nightpaw hissed to Mintpaw, her eyes full of terror as the RedClan warrior advanced on them. "Quick!"
"Get her!" Firestorm yowled at his apprentice. Scarletpaw raced after Mintpaw, but she was too quick. Mintpaw raced away and Scarletpaw disappeared into the bushes.
"A little comfy with WhiteClan territory Firestorm?" Harefoot hissed, appearing out of the bushes with Mintpaw and Oakstorm.
"What are you doing here?"
"Firestorm!" an even larger red warrior came rushing through the bushes.
"Can't you see I'm busy Burntfoot?"
"Don't talk back to the deputy Firestorm," Burntfoot glared at him, "You let them see you!" he noticed Nightpaw, Mintpaw, Harefoot and Oakstorm.
"Why were you putting RedClan scent markers on WhiteClan territory?" Oakstorm demanded.
"Cats that should be in CalicoClan don't deserve WhiteClan territory," Burntfoot hissed.
"Get out of here now!" Harefoot hissed as she stalked closer to Firestorm. Firestorm looked a bit nervous at the size of her claws and stepped backwards.
"Fine," Burntfoot meowed, "We will leave you now. But in one moon, if you still have Black Scum we will take what we want!" With that he and Firestorm disappeared faster than any WhiteClan cat.
"We'd better go tell Oceanstar about this," Oakstorm meowed. "We can send out a patrol to put our scent marks back later."
They walked back to camp in silence. Mintpaw broke the silence laughing, "They left Scarletpaw up that tree I chased her up!"
"She's probably down by now," Oakstorm meowed gruffly.
The silence came back.
Oakstorm and Harefoot immediately went to Oceanstar's den when they got back. Nightpaw and Mintpaw could hear Oceanstar yowl, "How dare they?" all the way from their den.
Nightpaw's tail drooped as he saw the rest of the litter waiting to hear what had happened.
I am on a rooooollll! I am on a rooooolllll! I am on a roooooolll! …
