Yes, I'm back. My GATs were yesterday- for those who don't know, it's a test on every subject prepared by some Cambridge University in Britan, and if you don't pass...well, you get my drift-and I decided to write a really long chapter!
Wolfy: Yeah, yeah, we get it. Now start! I like this chapter!
Me: The disclamer first!
Wolfy: WE ALL KNOW THAT YOU DO NOT OWN WARRIORS OR ANY OF THE CHARECTERS EXEPT ME, THE CAT THAT COMES IN THIS CHAPTER, AND A FEW KITS IN THE FUTURE!
Me: SHUT UP WITH THE SPOLIERS MOUSEBRAIN! *chases her around with a flamethrower*
RGIJTUFNR(random guy i just thought up for no reason): o...kay...anyway, enjoy!
Me and Wolfy: THAT'S OUR LINE!
RGIJTUFNR: Meep! *runs away with us both chasing him*
Us: Enjoy!
Wolfy POV
I watch the three of the of them walk away, and turn to face the patrol. "Ok, let's-" I'm cut off as my stomach gives a small rumble. Jaypaw cocks his head. "Wolfsong, when did you last eat?" he asks me. I think back and blink in shock. "...Before I set foot on Thunderclan territory." Jaypaw looks dumbfounded.
"That was days ago! You have to eat or your body might not be able to take the strain." "We don't have time!" I snap, growling and lashing my tail.
"We have to get to Shadowclan territory now and leave the patrol! I can eat later- the clan's saftey must come first!" Jawpaw flattens his ears against his skull but dosn't talk back. I try to calm down. "Jaypaw, I've gone through times when I didn't eat food for days. One more shouldn't hurt, and it'll be easier to fight if I eat something small, if I eat at all. I'm not that hungry."
I'm telling the truth. Once I went without food for four days straight as a human. (no, i didnt...i went two, i was sick and couldnt eat.)It was brutal, but worth it- and today was my second or third day. I could take it. "Ok, but can you at least eat a mouse? Leafpool would have my pelt if she found out I didn't do anything." Jaypaw asks me pleadingly. "When we get back." I promise. "But now we have to get out of here. Time is running out." He nods and I turn toward the patrol. " Right, so I figured out how this is going to work. Brambleclaw, you'll be in the front of the patrol." I make a X in the dirt.
"You know the territory, the cats, and you are the deputy. Shadowclan will react better to you. Jaypaw, you'll be behind Brambleclaw. Your senses are one of the sharpest, and since you're behind Brambleclaw, you can react quickly to any danger. Mille, you're next to Jaypaw. He'll keep you stable and incase you start kitting, he'll be there. Daisy, Longtail, and Mousefur will be in the middle. Mousefur, Longtail, can you help Daisy with Rosekit and Toadkit?" They nod. "I'll be in the back, keeping a lookout for an ambush. The byakugan will help me in this case- I'll explain later." Throughout this, I was drawing the patrols positions in the earth. Thank you god for strategy exams as a human!
"Any questions? No? Alright, let's go." I say, standing up and wiping the earth smooth with a swipe of my paw. I watch the cat's as the assemble into the patrol I gave and become a sutiable fighting force- though I must say, Jaypaw looked pleased at getting an important part in front of the cat he thought was his father. I ought to give him some fighting lessons if it's okay with Leafpool...shaking my head, I fall into place at the back. Concetrate.
"Byakugan. " I whisper, and I can see again. It's hard to explain, it's as if everything else is duller and blurry when my regular eyes are back. Looking behind us, I sweep my eyes over Thunderclan territory. Nothing unusual...
"We're almost there!" announces Brambleclaw. Wait, what? I sniff the air and a foul scent washes over me. Ugh, sickening. It smells of damp and dark places, of the marsh and slimy things- nothing at all like the warm scent of Thunderclan. We cross over and I start feeling uneasy, a prickle on my neck warning me. That prickle kept me out of danger quite a few times. Lucky for me, I listened to it.
Unluckily for us, we ran right into a Shadowclan patrol.
"Attack!" yowled a cat near the front, leaping for Brambleclaw. I step forward, but Jaypaw beat me to it. "Stop!" he yowled. "We came not to attack Shadowclan! What patrol attacks two queens, two kits, a medicine cat, and only two warriors!" Shadowclan calmed down and backed off after that. "If you didn't come to fight, why did you come?" asks the cat who jumped. I stepped forward.
"We will discuss this with Blackstar, not his patrol." I say quietly. "All you need to know is that we come in peace." They take a step back."W-who are you?" the cat asks. "And what's wrong with your eyes!" asks a cat behind her. I frown- I forgot to turn of my byakugan! Crap!
I shut off the flow off energy."It's just a gift I have. And for who I am, My name is Sabaku no Wolfsong. Now, will you be so kind to lead us to your leader?" The cat blinks. "Very well. Oh, and by the way, I am Russetfur, Shadowclan's deputy."
I blink in suprise, then bow my head. "It is an honor to meet you, Russetfur. Even as a loner, I have heard much about you and your clan." "You were a loner?" "Yes, But now I am an apprentice of Thunderclan- I kept my warrior name though." She nods and speaks a few words to her patrol. They surround us and start to lead us toward the camp, Russetfur next to me.
"What did you hear about me?" She asks me. "I heard that you and were once a rouge that joined Shadowclan. I heard that you became one of the best warriors in your clan, finally becoming deputy. You and your clan are fierce- first into battle and first to die. There has been more Shadowclan leaders than any other." She cocks her head.
"Where did you hear that?" I look at her. "Starclan." I say after a long pause. "The leaders themselves …a lot of leaders." Forgive me, Starclan. I have no other choice. At least we're nearing the camp and she can't ask anymore questions. Good.
Blackstar is eating a frog when we enter, but he quickly comes forward. "Russetfur, why have you brought Thunderclan cats on our territory?" he asks. Brambleclaw steps forward and explains the plan, and I watch Blackstars face when Brambleclaw makes his request.
"No."
Time stops. No? No? "But Blackstar-" Brambleclaw is cut off. "Why should we help you?" Blackstar asks us. My temper flares and I stalk forward. "Blackstar, think! If the other clans attack Thunderclan, they could attack yours as well! All they remember is Tigerstar and Brokenstar! But we remember more!" "What does a loner like you know about our clan?" he growls. Bad move- I snap.
"Shadow, Rowenstar, Snowstar, Lilystar, Blizzardstar, Raggedstar, Cederstar, Hollystar, Brindlestar, Flowerstar, Ripplestar, Yellowstar, and YOU were and are great leaders of Shadowclan, but what makes you a good leader is decided on what path you pick NOW! Show us the power of your clan! Help us in this dark hour! " Blackstar blinks and steps back from me. I'm snarling like a wolf, a bad human habit of mine, and my blade crackles with energy. (and yes, i snarl. it freaks people out. problem?) Finally, he speaks.
"We will help."
I stop snarling and shake my pelt, smoothing it down before bowing my head, my nose almost touching the ground. "Thank you, Blackstar." He nods before putting the kits and elders away into dens, leaving me, Jaypaw, and Brambleclaw behind. "We will send a patrol to help you before you leave." he calls, vanishing into his own den.
Shadowclan will never cease to amaze me.
