A chapter is finally here! I know I'm so evil, but I couldn't resist putting that cliffy in the last chapter! As you can tell this is a long chapter. It is the longest chapter I have ever written! And that goes for all my stories!
Warning-This is a very sad chapter.
Disclaimer-I do not own Warriors.
Chapter 9"No," Squirrelflight whispered.
Ivypaw's chest was all clawed up and her body was covered with blood. Nightsight some how looking through Squirrelflight's eyes noticed a faint, very faint rising and falling of every slow breath Ivypaw took.
"We need to get her to Leafpool. She still alive," Nightsight mewed urgently.
Without anyone's permission, Nightsight gently grabbed Ivypaw's scruff and pulled her back to camp. Nightsight noticed a scent on the body. The breathing of Ivypaw started to become weaker and in gasped as Nightsight dragged her back to camp. Finally, she reached camp and rushed to Leafpool's den.
"Leafpool!" Nightsight called, now panicking.
Leafpool rushed out of her den and gasped, "Great StarClan!"
She immediately ran and got cobwebs. She began to press them on Ivypaw.
"Will she be okay?" Nightsight dared to inquire even though she probably knew the answer.
"She might, but there is a good chance she won't survive," Leafpool meowed not looking up from what she was doing.
Nightsight remembered on the patrol, when she felt like someone attacked her. She felt what Ivypaw felt when she was attacked.
Nightsight padded out of the den knowing that Leafpool would work faster if she left her alone. She went and sat outside the warriors' den.
She can't die, Nightsight thought. She just can't die!
Nightsight sensed that the patrol, that she was on, arrived with Thornclaw and Greenpaw. Greenpaw had her head down ran over to Nightsight.
"What happened?" Greenpaw asked in no more than a whisper.
"She was attacked," Nightsight answered not wanting to talk about it.
"How? By who?" Greenpaw whispered.
"I don't know," Nightsight sighed. "We found her along the ShadowClan border."
"Nightsight, will you come here for a moment?" Leafpool called from the entrance to her den.
Nightsight nodded. "I'll be right back, okay?" Nightsight didn't wait for a response from Greenpaw. She quickly padded over to where Leafpool was waiting. "Yes?"
"I've done all I can to help Ivypaw," Leafpool meowed. Nightsight felt her veins run cold. "She's in the paws of StarClan now. Would you like to see her?"
Nightsight felt like she would never be able to move again. She managed to do a feeble nod and followed Leafpool into the den where her dying sister lay. As they entered she could hear her sister's quick and fragile breathing. At least her breathing is stronger, Nightsight thought.
Nightsight slowly made her way to her sister. She knew how sister looked. Ivypaw had cobwebs over her wounds to stop the bleeding, and she laid on her good side-the side Nightsight found her on-so she wouldn't hurt any of her wounds.
"You can't die, Ivypaw. Hang in there," Nightsight whispered barely audible. "Please, I don't know what I would do without you. I would never have been made an apprentice if it weren't for you."
"Will you be okay, Nightsight?" Leafpool asked gently.
Nightsight shook her head. After all her sister did for her, she was going to die.
"I'll get you some poppy seeds, then you can go sleep," Leafpool meowed.
Nightsight was so scared for Ivypaw she didn't answer. Leafpool came back quickly and gave Nightsight the seeds. Nightsight nodded thanks and went straight to the warriors' den where Greenpaw was waiting.
"She won't be okay, will she?" Greenpaw asked.
"Ivypaw is in the paws of StarClan, it is time for StarClan to choose her fate," Nightsight whispered. "You can go see her if you would like."
Greenpaw left Nightsight and trotted over to Leafpool's den. Nightsight went into the warriors' den and lay down in her nest. She closed her eyes and drifted off into a wave of sleep.
Nightsight opened her eyes. She blinked a few times adjusting to the light. She hadn't seen any light through all the moons of blackened vision. She glanced around. Though she could see in this place, she knew that this was a dream.
Blades of bright green grass surrounded Nightsight. Nightsight examined the blades and saw they had blood spread over them. She gasped as she saw more bright colored droplets spray the grass. Then she heard cats talking.
"She should know!" a voice hissed.
"She is not ready," another voice hissed quietly.
Nightsight couldn't tell who the cats were, but she was very scared. Nightsight stepped backwards, but she froze as she heard a new voice mutter something, "Unless a clash comes, blood will be spilt without reason."
At that very moment Nightsight's eyes shot open. She knew she was out of the dream since she could no longer see anything. Nightsight was panting heavily as she set her head back onto her paws.
"Nightsight, are you okay?" Spiderleg asked, touching his tail-tip to her shoulder. "Nightsight, are you okay? You were shaking terribly."
"I'm fine." Nightsight was panting and still trembling. She tried to gain control of her shaking, but it overpowered her.
"Are you feeling better?" Nightsight put her paw on Spiderleg's and didn't answer. "You have a fever; your pad is hot."
Nightsight slowly stood up as grief stabbed her heart.
"Come on, I'll go with you if you like," Spiderleg suggested.
Together the two cats headed toward the medicine cat's den. Once they arrived Spiderleg called for Leafpool.
Leafpool came out of her den along with Brackenfur and Sorreltail. Sorreltail's eyes were clouded. "Yes?" Leafpool asked politely.
"I think that Nightsight has a fever," Spiderleg meowed.
Leafpool nosed Nightsight's pad and meowed, "You're right, Spiderleg. I'll get you some feverfew, Nightsight."
"Sorreltail, you go to the warriors' den and rest; I'm going to go talk to Firestar," Brackenfur mewed to Sorreltail.
"I'm going with you." Nightsight spoke for the second time since she woke up.
"You get some feverfew first," Brackenfur meowed. "I'll go on out and start talking to Firestar."
Nightsight sighed an okay as Brackenfur and Sorreltail left the den. She sat down and waited impatiently for Leafpool to come back. Nightsight felt a tail touch her shoulder and remembered that Spiderleg was still with her.
"Come with me," he whispered.
Quite swiftly, Spiderleg lead Nightsight to the corner of the den. Nightsight let out a tiny wail as she realized where Spiderleg was taking her.
"Look through my eyes," Spiderleg whispered.
Nightsight closed her eyes and concentrated. She opened her eyes and looked at her sister. Ivypaw was still covered in blood and was still covered with cobwebs. The breathing of Ivypaw was still quite weak, but she looked more peaceful.
"Here is your feverfew," Leafpool meowed, with a look sympathy. "I want you to stay in here tonight. Okay?"
Nightsight nodded chewing up the bitter tasting leaves. She rose to her paws and trotted out of the den to find her father and Firestar. When she finally found them, she realized that she had gotten there at the right time.
"Firestar, are we going to attack ShadowClan for what thy did to Ivypaw?" Brackenfur asked.
"ShadowClan wouldn't be too happy with that," Nightsight growled joining the conversation, "and besides, they didn't lay a claw on Ivypaw. RiverClan did."
Who expected that? Hehe, I love making cliffies!! I literally cried as I wrote this chapter. Did you as you read? Tell me what you think of this chapter. Ok, I have a question: What makes this story more popular than my other stories? I'm wondering so I can see if I can do anything about my others (especially "My Life"). Oh yeah, and I have another announcement. I will be updating this story in two weeks. I will update this story every other Friday because I need time to type the chapters. This week I barely had any time to write with all these test to study for (I had 5 tests in 3 subjects this week), then regular homework, and a ton more, so I hope ya'll understand. Thank you so much for understanding and reading this story. I will still take PMs from people! I love PMs!!
