Hopefully this will be a longer chapter, for this is my best Number!
Ivypool's heart was beating at a hundred miles an hour as Cinderstar called out the names for who would come to WindClan.
"Lionblaze, Moonbreeze, Tinyflower, Hawkpaw, Foxleap, Leaf- No, sorry, Dovewing, and…" Cinderheart paused for a moment, trying to choose another cat. She's choosing cats that are close to Squirrelflight, that's why she almost said Leafpool.
"Whitewing and Ivypool." Palmpaw bounded up, with Honeypaw and Mistpaw hard on his paws. "Ivypool, you're so lucky! I want my first battle scar! I'd shred that WindClan scum!" Ivypool held back a laugh. Mistpaw and Honeypaw were nodding vigorously. Palmpaw was always the leader of the group. Hawkpaw stood sneering at them. I don't like that cat's attitude. Hopefully Cinderstar will sort it out. She's been like this since she was a kit. Ivypool flashed back to her days in the nursery. When Sparkkit and Dawnkit were born, you could tell who they liked best. Shadowkit barely spent any time with them; he was always in the medicine den with Jayfeather, and Hawkkit just stood on her own, ignoring her littermates and the new kits. She was probably jealous that she wasn't the big fuss anymore. The golden tom, Sparkkit, spent most of his time with Mistkit. Dawnkit hung out with Palmkit. Honeykit either played with them, or looked at what Shadowkit was doing. She didn't have any hard feelings like Hawkkit.
Hawkpaw sniggered most of the way to the WindClan camp. She wasn't scared of Cinderstar like she was of Ivypool. She had lost count of the times Ivypool had to hiss at Hawkpaw. Moonbreeze stuck close to Tinyflower. They should feel angrier than the rest of them, for they were going to justify the death of their mother and the stealing of their littermate.
They burst into the WindClan camp unexpected. Amberfire broke free from the barrier of WindClan warriors blocking him, and ran to join ThunderClan in the fight. Ivypool broke away from the fight and darted into the medicine den. Sedgewhisker laid there, a big gash in her side. Most likely from when they stole Amberfire. Heathertail darted in, followed closely by Lionblaze.
"Things are different now, Heathertail. I love Cinderstar now. But we don't have to hold grudges. I still think about our days in the caves. Remember? You were Heatherstar, and I was Lionclaw. Don't you miss those days?" Ivypool hid behind a rock, and listened.
"Of course I remember, Lionclaw. How could I not? Those were the best days of my life. But you're right. Things are very different now. You go off and have kits with your Cinderstar. What you didn't know, and know now, is that I'm expecting your kits! She turned around and lunged out at him. Lionblaze just stood there, in shock.
"My… My… My kits? How is that possible?" Heathertail just turned back and faced the wall.
"I never stopped loving you, Lionblaze. I never forgot the feeling I had when you called me Heatherstar for the first time. Everyone thinks these kits are Breezepelt's, and it's true, I do like him. But he was never able to conjure up the feeling you did, Lionblaze. I never forgot you." Just then, Kestrelflight appeared.
"What in StarClan is going on here?" Ivypool saw her chance. Lionblaze stood there, Heathertail behind him, staring blankly at her. She tackled him, head on, and just like that, he was pinned.
"Ivypool? The sister of the cat who went to save the Clans from drought?"
"That's me, you mangy flea-bag. Now what will happen to WindClan without a medicine cat?" Kestrelflight's eyes filled with fear, and Ivypool lunged. The light faded from his eyes. Kestrelflight was dead, and Ivypool was going to see Hawkfrost when she died.
