((Okay, everybody here is the next chapter of Sins. YAY! Sorry, I haven't updated, but I had to deal with finals. Urg. Luckily, it paid off and I got A's for six periods and a C+ I Foods I. That teacher hates my guts though because she's a B^tch and thinks I can't cook. –rolls eyes- She had the nerve to ask me if I made a boston cream cheesecake by myself. I hate her. Anyway, sorry bout my wondering mind. Rofl. Oh, and Hollybranch and Breezefall will not be siblings in this, but if you want to read something like check out Tortured Soul…))
Chapter 22
I was going to be in the second wave of the battle. The first raid had gone out a short time ago so hopefully the apprentice would come back soon. The two WindClan cats were going to stop a patrol had been alerted to fight at moonrise which would be soon. I looked over the cats that were going to fight at my side. Owlwhisker, Spiderleg, Lionblaze, and Breezefall were among the troopers with me because they were some of the strongest warriors our two clans had. Only ThunderClan cats, Brackenfur leading, had gone in the first wave because we could not alert ShadowClan so prematurely to our joined forces. I wish the apprentice that was reporting back would have been a WindClan cat; they were so much faster than us. Inwardly I growled.
My eyes traveled around the camp. Lightningstreak was pestering Toadfoot with her fondness of him. "Leave me alone." I heard him growl at the yellow warrior. "But, I have to tell you something before this war. It's important to us." She mewed. "There is no us and there never was." He snarled clearly irritated. "Yes, there is because I love you." Lightningstreak confessed. Toadfoot stared at her with his amber eyes and shook his head. "I don't though, so there is nothing." He hissed. She looked defeated by his words, but continued. "Is it because of her?" She hissed back loudly. "Who are you talking about?" This time Toadfoot asked, defiantly. "You know who I am talking about. You're are always with her dancing around her. It's her I know it." Lightningstreak growled. My ears turned in their direction now. Who were they talking about.
"Keep your mouth shut." Toadfoot mewed. "Oh, I knew it. You can't even be with her. She can never give you what I can without having monsters." The she-cat meowed, her green eyes blazing. Toadfoot stepped forward. "Stop talking about such nonsense. There is nothing going on between me and her." He said firmly. Who was it? Surely, he was not breaking the code with this her. "If there's nothing going on, we can be together." She mewed with a smile. "No." He stated. "See? Then you do have something going on. We have known each other since we were apprentices and we were friends yet you resist me because of her and your feelings for her. She can never be your mate." She mewed. After that the conversation ended when Roseblossom appeared. Lightningstreak glared at his sister for interrupting the chat they were having.
Please let everything go as planned, StarClan. I prayed to my ancestors and looked up to the stars. Did they support us in our greatest hour of need or side with the clans holding the monster cats? One could only hope. I smelled the air and caught the scent of Wildpaw, our reporter. He was coming back. I sat up instantly and trotted over to the group of gathering warriors. WindClan and ThunderClan had strong and fast warriors while RiverClan and ShadowClan had night stalkers and sleek water cats. They could not match our abilities. "ShadowClan sent out their warrior just as planned." Wildpaw called as he came to a stop in front of Crowstar. The leader nodded to the young tom and looked back at the clans.
"Tonight we fight to kill these monsters, not the clans. Keep your wit and don't let anyone's death stop cloud the goal." Crowstar ordered. "Let's go." The black tom yelled and charged straight towards the ShadowClan border. Although he was brisk with his words the clans brightened by the ruler's words. I cracked a smile as well beside Spiderleg. He grinned back at me and ran off. That would be the last time I ever see the tom smile at me. My face turned to watch where I was heading.
Tonight everything would end and begin. The end for the monster cats and Spiderleg, but the start for my kits' safety from WindClan and their half blood flowing through them. As the ShadowClan leader would say, with death comes life.
When I arrived I could hear the battle calls of ShadowClan and the first wave. My eyes searched for someone who needed a fight and spotted a small brown she-cat fighting Torrentpaw. I pounced on the ShadowClan warrior and we rolled to the ground hissing and clawing her flank. Once we stopped rolling I stood up and the she-cat did the same. We circled each other before she tried to trip me. I dodged her attempt and threw my paw out towards her. Blood ran down her pelt and the sticky substance rubbed against my paw. My enemy twisted around so fast I could barely see her and bit my tail. I turned around lashing my tail in annoyance. Claws ran out her forehead to her cheek. The ShadowClan warrior yowled in pain as her eye was cut open which would blind her in the long run.
I jumped back as she reached out for my side. However, I could feel the claws rip through my fur and to my skin. Without wincing, I stood on my hind legs and tried to bat her face. She had noticed me before paw and ran directly under my leg which made me fall to the ground. The impact had hurt my ribs so I gave a twitch. She grinned above me and put her paws on my throat. "Don't think I won't kill you for destroying my eye, will you?" She hissed as blood ran down her fangs. Her green-blue eyes flickered in distaste.
"Let her go, Darkeagle. She must not die when life is in her." I heard the voice of a leader. ShadowClan's leader. My head looked in the she-cat's direction and the pressure on my chest went away as Darkagle stepped off. I had never gotten a good look at the creepy warrior, but now that I had I could tell she was the most beautiful feline I had ever seen. Her face was angler and exotic compared to most forest cats, but that was a given since she had been a rogue. "Go and fight." The half lidded eyed she-cat mewed to her warrior then padded towards me. "StarClan told me to protect you." Her narrow eyes glowed.
"Oh, why is that?" I asked as I got up. Her orbs looked down at my belly before meeting my eyes. "To keep them safe. Come with me so we may talk without the distraction of the battle." The leader suggested and padded away. She didn't care for a reply and expected me to follow. I gave my clan a nervous glance and my eyes met Breezefall's amber hues for a short moment before he continued to fight another ShadowClan warrior. In that moment I knew the ShadowClan leader would save our children. RiverClan would most likely come soon, so if she wanted to talk it would have to be quick.
I followed the ruler into the marsh and only Breezefall would know I was with her. "This is your invasion plan, correct?" She purred. I tilted my head before nodding. "It's beautiful I must say. So much death will come from this so I must preserve what life I can." The she-cat said as if amused by death. I twitched as her eyes sparkled with pleasure. How could someone be pleased as their clan yowled in pain? "You must be so pleased that he will die and your kits will be safe from the thoughts and judgments of others. I would be if I had kits." Her eyes flickered back to my stomach giving me a feeling of uneasiness. "No, Spiderleg is my friend. I don't want him to die." I mewed and took a step back from her peering at my belly.
"But he needs to die." She said calmly. "He does not deserve it though." I mewed sorrowfully. "No one does, but death is a part of life. Everything dies in the end to make room for the living. That's why we have disease, accidents, floods, and starvations. The living become stronger so the last generation is weak. Weakness is useless." The she-cat growled. "RiverClan is here!" I heard my brother call into the night air. "I have to go." I mewed and turned around. "No, ThunderClan will be fine without you." She mewed and padded to me. I looked back and shook my head. "They need help." I persisted as I smelled a large amount of blood coming not far off from us. "Hollybranch, listen to me and let them go. Preserve life." Her voice echoed around me and I could feel her icy breath on my right flank. A shiver ran down my spine as I felt a chill. "Let them go." She repeated in my ear. What was her problem?
Not listening the leader's voice I padded forward and back to the battle front. What I saw was something I wished I hadn't seen. The monster were here and pounding WindClan and ThunderClan to the ground without a thought. Blood covered their large paws. Many warriors had fallen including Ashfur, Thornclaw, and Owlwhisker. One of them was carrying a warrior in its jaws like it was a mouse. The warrior in the monster's jaws let out a horrid yowl of pain and his eyes widened in agony. I knew who the tom was before I heard him. Antpelt. The big creature shook Antpelt and tossed him aside. "Antpelt!" I heard a she-cat cry and my eyes flickered to Snowdrift. They had been becoming friends when I left WindClan and now he was going to leave her for StarClan. My heart ached for the two warriors and let out a battle cry before jumping into battle.
The monster feline closest to me was fighting Lionblaze, Teardrop, and Roseclaw. As usual Lionblaze was untouched and striking the cat without fear as Teardrop and Roseclaw distracted the thing as they ran around it taking short shots at it. They were like bugs. I charged towards the creature with a deadly intent. Lionblaze was clawing the animal's left shoulder and bit into the right skin. He ripped away a piece of meat as if it took no effort at all then leapt to the ground as the lynx tried to bite him. As the face turned away from me I jumped onto the monster and tried to do the same thing. My claws raked the skin, but before I could sink my teeth into the scruff I felt myself being torn away and flung to the ground.
I heard a roar and stood up quickly. Then I felt the marks it had left on my side and winced in pain. A liquid poured out of the wounds and dripped to the floor. That would heal sooner or later. Teardrop jumped up and ran her claws across the animal's cheek before it could reach me. "Thanks." I mewed to my old apprentice before running under the monster and clawing it's right hind leg and rolling to the side. The large cat was knocked over and many warriors stormed towards it. They had abandoned their previous battle to kill the thing that would have torn the clans apart. I heard crazy calls of victory before I heard Lionblaze call above the rest as he stood over the body. My StarClan the body. It was covered with WindClan and ThunderClan troopers with their pelts coated in mud dying their fur a scarlet red shade. Part of me wanted to throw up by the slaughter of monster.
"A monster is dead, hurry and take the rest." The cats departed fast and went onto fighting RiverClan and ShadowClan forces. As they fled to continue the fight I saw the damage done. There was a large puddle of blood surrounding the corpse, but that was not the worst of it. There was hardly anything that was near to the rare creature form. The fur was suppose to cover the muscle was shredded and ripped to nothing. Blood still flowed out of the wounds. Lionblaze was grinning though and padded towards me.
"Crowstar lost a life when he took down one of the monsters. Kestelwing dragged him out of the battle which he won't be happy about." Then his grin faded and he looked me directly in the eye. "And there's something else. Brackenfur was killed by Reedwhisker, I saw them fighting up to the point he died." Lionblaze lowered his head. I let the knowledge sink in. My mentor and deputy was dead. The tom that had taught me the skills I used today had left the world for good. "Go and fight. I'll follow you later." I growled at Lionblaze who gave me a concerned glance before entering a fight with another monster. That made sense. His power made him untouchable and only he could have victory against these mass killers. Shaking my nerves off I left to battle whoever I could get.
The first battle I saw was a RiverClan tom between Toadfoot and Roseblossom. His fur was a charcoal black with green eyes flickering with amusement at the pair of ThunderClan cats. He jumped up as the dark she-cat tried to pounce on him as her brother lashed out a paw. The deputy was playing with them. What an idiot. When he was in mid air I slammed into him and knocked him to the ground. This was the cat that killed Brackenfur and now he was messing around like war was nothing. He deserved to die. I landed on me feet and let out a snarl as I stalked towards Reedwhisker. He was already up and ready for a fight.
The tom ran to my side took a shot at my face. Just as his claws dived into my cheek and I jumped up to my side and he fell to the ground with me on top of me. One wound did not matter if I could stop his playing. When he tried to scramble away from me I put my paw on his throat. "Get another battle. He's mine." I growled to my clanmates and they ran off together. Their pelts almost touched showing their support and comfort of each other.
His green eyes panicked when he noticed I was not going to play with him. "You killed my mentor." I hissed, showing my fangs to him. I released some of the pressure on his throat so he could speak. He spit in my face. My anger heightened and my claws dug into an already bleeding pelt. Hopefully the mud from my claws would cause an infection if I didn't kill him first. "Do not insult me with your pitiful games." I snapped and thrust my paw closer to the base of his throat. In a second I could destroy this piece of foxdung and he knew it.
"Did I now? Who was it?" Reedwhisker questioned me and then smirked. "I've killed many today. A black and brown tom, a pretty little she-cat, I can keep going if you want." He laughed. What sick bastard would do that? "Brackenfur, ThunderClan's deputy, you piece of dung." I hissed and lowered my head to his ear. "Have a nice time in the Dark Forest." I whispered and my claws raked down his throat to his chest. Then my jaws wrapped around his useless neck and bit down until I heard the snap of bones. The deputy shook violently and tried to get up, but it had been futile his life was fading fast. I ripped my fangs from his gullet and tasted his blood. The blood of a murderer, disgusting.
When I looked up I noticed a flicker of ShadowClan's leader as her pelt was stained by blood as she defeated a brown tabby. The tabby she had been fighting darted away and her eyes turned towards me and simply shook her head in disappointment. "Hollybranch,-" She began, but her voice was drowned out by the calls of an authority figure. "Focus on the mission, not your personal revenge." Crowstar screamed at Snowdrift who had been trying to fight the monster that had killed Antpelt with only one other warrior. I had killed Reedwhisker for personal reasons, but he had murdered many cats, so he had to be taken down.
My eyes searched for another battle and spotted one with a monster. The creature was fighting some cats, but all I knew was that I could feel the rush of battle and the cries of wounded felines. "ShadowClan is retreating!" I heard a warrior call and I smiled. We were winning. Only RiverClan and the monsters would oppose us now. The monster I was about to fight towered over and I ran with the storm of cats coming for the kill. When I reached the animal I bit into its stomach and felt the thick fur in my mouth. "It's dead. Drive RiverClan out and we'll win." I heard my brother call when it went limp.
My paws pounded against the wet floor as I nipped at the tails of RiverClan. "We've won. The monsters are dead and our future is safe." Lionblaze yelled. I heard no cheers from either side, WindClan or ThunderClan just sighs of relief. It was over.
Chapter 23
The plan had been executed just as devised and now the notices of deaths were happening. ThunderClan has lost many good cats including Ashfur, Thornclaw, Teardrop, Brackenfur, Blossomsong, Lightningstreak, Waterpaw, Floodpaw, and Spiderleg. There had been no avoiding the deaths especially Spiderleg's which had been predicted by StarClan from the very start. A pang of guilt filled me as I saw his body being carried back to ThunderClan territory. I had caused his death. It was my plan, my need for him to die that made this happen to him. It was disgusting with how I was going to stain my loyal name with my kits half clan blood. When I got to StarClan I would explain everything to him. Although he wouldn't understand my reasoning. Toadfoot and Roseblossom, his children, stood off to the side comforting each other with licks and whispers. His daughter looked like she was about to cry and Toadfoot sat rigid next to her.
"He's dead." Roseblossom choked and leaned against her sibling. He rested his head on her's. "It will be fine, my sister." He mewed softly. Her head moved and she faced him with dark eyes of rage. "No, it won't and stop calling me your sister." She snarled. Toadfoot looked stunned by her harshness. The dark she-cat never spoke to her beloved brother like that and she was always cheerful and careless around him. "Our father-" Toadfoot was cut off. "Stop saying that, it freaks me out. Our father, our mother, my brother, your sister. It does not make any sense." Roseblossom said and shook her head as if trying to forget. "I'm leaving." She mewed and ran off. Her brother looked defeated as she left before sighing and staring right at me. His vision was horrified. "Don't repeat what you heard." He growled at me then gripped Lightningstreak's scruff. She had been fighting him right before we came to the battle and now she was gone.
That brought back my curious thoughts of this her they had been talking about. Lightningstreak had been so angered by the she-cat that Toadfoot had feelings for but now her green eyes were dull. Where was that flame I had seen only hours ago? The war had taken it.
From WindClan Antpelt, Owlwhisker, Tallwind, Roseclaw, Thymepaw, Cardinalpaw and Falseeye had died. Their deaths hit me far harder than ThunderClan's deaths had. I had spent my last few moons with those cats and I learned to love them. Their teasing, the methods they shared, and personality. Thymepaw had always been a cute apprentice with a charm no one could match. She made me laugh at her elder jokes. Then Antpelt who taught me the rituals of WindClan. I could go to him and ask what I was supposed to do for each task. He knew things and had been one of my first friends. Owlwhisker had lost Dawnstripe, but now he was joining her. That would make him happy, but what about their kits?
Roseclaw. What could I say about the devilish she-cat besides she almost killed Heathershadow. She had been a cruel warrior, but she was loyal to her clan. Twistedfoot was laying next her body with his head in her fur muttering. I padded towards the tom and his mate's form before I heard him hiss. "Stay away from her. She doesn't need you near her, ThunderClan dung." The tabby glared at him and I took a step back. He was right I was not a WindClan cat so why would I want to care for them more than ThunderClan's grieves. I should let him mourn for her without me adding to his distress.
Silentwhisper looked up from her place at Tallwind's side and nodded to me. That was right Tallwind and her had been like Cloudtail and Brightheart. They had true love, two parts of a warrior, and now one had died. Tallwind was her voice because she was mute. I could not imagine losing Breezefall. The thought shook me down to my soul. Breezefall, where was he? I looked around instantly and horror set in. Where was my ex-lover? I did not see him. He couldn't be dead. I needed him and so did my kits.
"Hollybranch, were you looking for me?" I turned to face the voice, but only saw my brother. "No. Where's Breezefall?" I asked without caring who heard me. I wanted to know that my love was safe and alive. Panic went off in my mind as Lionblaze didn't reply. "Where is he?" I asked glaring at him. If he did not answer I would kill him wither he was my kin or not. WindClan's deputy was more important than him at this moment in time.
"He left a while ago with Falseeye's body. He said something about the elder wanting to have one last battle and have an elder's burial. He's going to bury him some where in ThunderClan. Why?" He asked, but I had already left him in the dust. All I needed was to see Breezefall. He would ease my nerves. As I tread past the ShadowClan border I scented the air. Breezefall was heading towards the Sky Oak. It was not far off and so I would see him sooner than I thought.
Then I saw him. His brilliant amber gaze was set on a mound of dirt that was most likely Falseeye's grave. He seemed saddened by the elder's loss and so was I. The elder had been the only WindClan cat that knew about my children's parentage. I padded towards my love slowly. "Breezefall," I mewed. His face turned in my direction I could see his eyes light up by the sight of me, and then fade to something darker. "What are you doing here?" he asked angrily. "This is a WindClan elder, not a ThunderClanner, so go to one of your own." The deputy hissed. I winced in pain as if he had hit me. "I still care about Falseeye and the rest of them that died. I want him to know that from StarClan plus the rest." I mewed and stepped closer so I sat by his side.
His ears twitched at my words. "Go back to ThunderClan, we don't need your pity." He mumbled. "No, I won't and I'm not pitying you, I'm grieving for the fallen warriors in WindClan." I persisted. "You shouldn't though. Besides your mate died, why don't go back to him and mourn?" He asked with a hint of jealously. I said nothing and settled myself down so my nose was almost touching the dirt pile and closed my eyes so I could listen to Breezefall. Although he was telling me to go back to my clan all I could feel was relief at hearing him sound so casual as he barked orders at me. I took in a deep breath.
Our kits were safe from the dangers of the monster cats and they would never be judged for being half clan kits. They could become warriors and have the sort of life I wish they would have. Like the ShadowClan leader said with death comes life and my kits had definitely cost lives. Suddenly Breezefall stopped meowing at me seeing there was no point. I listened to him breath in and out before laying down beside me. "Falseeye didn't have to fight, but he wanted to die happy." Breezefall whispered in my ear.
"Lionblaze mentioned that when I asked him where you were." I mewed softly. "Why would you want to know where I was?" He asked. "Because I love you more than anyone and I had to see you." I said truthfully. This time Breezefall was speechless and breathed into my ear. I knew he wanted to lick my ear in comfort, but his loyalty would not let him do so. My eyes opened and turned in his direction so our eyes would meet. His amber hues were conflicted with what was correct and what he wanted to do. "I understand." I mewed as I touched his nose with mine.
We stayed like that just staring into each other's eyes for a long while. Every moment we had shared together alone was the moments we could be ourselves and love without reason. It was true that we understood each other more than ourselves, but everything we had worked for would be crushed to bits if we continued like this. Star-crossed lovers had it the hardest. I barely noticed when the sun peeked through the trees casting shadows all around us. The night that hid us from others was gone and now we had to depart for our respected homes. Mine ThunderClan and his WindClan.
I turned my head away from Breezefall and looked off to the distance. This was our last time to be together like this. Once my pregnancy is announced at the next gathering there can be nothing left for us. He will think these are Spiderleg's children and never speak to me again unless it's necessary. "I have to go. Good-bye, Breezefall." I mewed sorrowfully and stood up. If I looked at my love I would not leave and I had to be strong for the little ones.
"Good-bye, my love." Breezefall whispered into the wind. I walked away without another word to him.
Chapter 24
"Get up, Hollybranch. Firestar wants you to come to the Gathering." I heard Poppyfrost meow. I heard a kit squeak and saw Featherkit call for her mother, Poppyfrost. Her brother, Brackenkit, still slept. They had only been born a few days ago, but they were full of life already. Jayfeather had taken the full measures to make sure the two were safe from Poppyfrost and kept a close eye. Poppyfrost still felt that they were horrid things, but that was getting better. Hopefully my kits would be as vibrant as those two. I rolled onto my side and stood up. Everyone could tell I having kits from the size of my belly and now I held the title of a queen.
"Thank you." I mewed and padded out of the nursery and to the gathering group of cats. I sat down beside Jayfeather and Lionblaze. Lionblaze stared at my belly then at my face. He was still shocked that I was pregnant with half clan kits. "How are you doing?" Jayfeather asked. "Great actually." I replied. "We're heading out now." I heard Lionblaze mew and head out of the camp. I followed him without question to the Gathering. The walk to the island was smooth and clean as expected and by the smell of things WindClan had already arrived.
"We're the last to be here. We won't have any time for chat chit, what a pity." I heard Jayfeather mumble and I nodded in agreement. I sat off to the side of the island when Snowdrift came up to me with wide eyes as her grey eyes drifted towards my belly. "Hello, Hollybranch." She purred warmly. "Greetings." I purred back as she sat down next to me. "I see the past moon has treated you well." She said with a smile. "Indeed." I mewed. "When are you due?" She asked. "I suppose in another moon and a quarter." I answered. If I had had only a moon, she would question if these were Breezefall's children. I could not allow that sort of time around me or my kits.
"The Gathering will now begin." I heard Firestar call from the ThunderClan branch. He looked too old to be up there sitting on a high branch. He could fall and die any moment. My eyes went to the roots of the tree where the deputies sat. Breezefall, Coralfoot, RiverClan's new deputy, Rootfoot, ShadowClan's deputy, and now Lionblaze sat among the group. After Brackenfur had died, Lionblaze was the best option for the clan when he led the raid into battle. I had always known my brother would become the next leader, yet I once desired that position more than anything.
"ThunderClan had been blessed with two kits this moon from Poppyfrost. Another one of our she-cats, Hollybranch, is due to have Spiderleg's kits next moon so we are recovering from the battle quickly. Prey is running fine and no one has dared to enter our territories either." Firestar spoke. As soon as he said my name I could feel Breezefall's gaze on me. I met his questioning stare without delay and smiled. Perhaps it was cruel of me to do so, but I was truly happy that he knew about the kits even though Firestar said they were Spiderleg's.
"I cannot say the same for RiverClan. Our deputy, Reedwhisker, was killed in the last battle by your little queen, Hollybranch, but now Coralfoot has replaced him. Prey is fine." Mistystar called out and then Crowstar spoke. "All is well in WindClan. Silentwhisper has been sent to the nursery with Tallwind's kits. Prey is running well enough in bare leaf." The leader then looked out me in questioning. He was wondering if these were Breezefall's kits, I knew it. "I'm glad to hear ThunderClan and WindClan are so full of love and life. It's amazing that you two haven't had interclan relationships." I heard the cool voice of ShadowClan's leader. What was she doing? I growled. She knew about me and Breezefall without even knowing us or seeing us together. "Or maybe you have…We can only guess on these sort of things." Her half lidded eyes looked between me and Breezefall making it observable to anyone that was following her trail.
Then her clouded blue eyes landed on me. They were full of hatred and spite. What had I done to her to make her loath me? "I have a guess though on a certain couple. If you look-" She stopped as Crowstar interrupted her with his cruel voice. "What are you thinking? WindClan and ThunderClan have not had affairs in a long time and it's against the Warrior Code. My warriors would never do such a thing to shame our clan." Crowstar hissed. "Oh? And what about you and your ex-lover, Leafpool? You shamed your clan once, why not let it happen again? Besides I'm not talking about one of your warriors. It's your deputy, Breezefall." The she-cat hissed and her lips curled into a smile.
"That's right, I'm talking about your son. Father like son, right?" She crackled into a fit of laughter. Crowstar said nothing as a result. No. This could not be happening. Not now. Now when my kits were in danger of being called half clan. Breezefall would lose all respect in WindClan and be exiled and same with me. Everything was coming to an end because of her and her knowledge. There were cries from the crowd of WindClan and ThunderClan outraged by the ShadowClan leader.
"WindClan would never breed with ThunderClan!" Twistedfoot growled.
"WindClan is too scrawny for our tastes!" Toadfoot hissed.
"We would never betray the Code!" Roseblossom called.
"I would die before committing such a sin!" Dewspots spat.
"Lies!" cried Breezefall at last.
"Silence!" The beautiful leader screamed and got what she wanted. "WindClan held a ThunderClan warrior for three moons after a battle because she broke her limbs. During that time Breezefall had always been taken with her so he courted her and now she carries his kits. They betrayed the Warrior Code in the highest degree possible. They deserve a punishment." She spoke with her eyes blazing with madness. "Hollybranch, do you deny that your kits are his?" She called looking directly at me. Everyone turned to look at me for an answer. How could I say they were not Breezefall's kits? I had to though.
