This is a really short chapter, SO BEWARE! XD
Frosttiger lead the two sisters to Burningstar's den. Burningstar was sitting with her tail wrapped around her paws in her nest. She nodded to Frosttiger when he entered the den with the two apprentices.
I know something bigger is going on. The way Fernpaw's eyes shifted away from the cats in the camp. I could tell that she was hiding something. Burningstar looked between the two sisters and her eyes rested on Eaglepaw's neck and Fernpaw's chin. Her eyes narrowed into slits. Blood. On Fernpaw and Eaglepaw. Except on Fernpaw, she has scratches.
"Fernpaw. Would like to explain to me why you have a scratch on your chin and why your sister has blood on her neck?" Burningstar calmly asked the young medicine cat. Fernpaw was visibly caught-off guard and Eaglepaw tried to not show any reaction, but I could tell that she wasn't expecting my question.
"I...um…" Fernpaw stuttered.
"I can explain-" Eaglepaw started,
"No, Eaglepaw. Let Fernpaw talk." Burningstar's eyes shifted from Eaglepaw's face to Fernpaw's. Fernpaw is the weakest link. Burningstar thought. She is bad at lying.
"Well, I fell in a river...and...uh...Eaglepaw dove in to help me and...uh...well...uh.."
Eaglepaw shook her head and gave Fernpaw a look that said We have to tell her. Burningstar's mouthed slightly twitched.
Fernpaw sighed, defeated, and said,"We found a cat named Harrenclaw, that turned out to be our father, then a cat named Frozendawn also turned out to be our half sister -Harrenclaw's other daughter- both in LightningClan. Harrenclaw murdered Silverflight in that attack that Quickstar lead." Fernpaw took a breath and Eaglepaw looked down at her paws, "Then he attacked us and tried to kill us. Frozendawn defended us, he clawed my chin, and clawed Frozendawn. Her blood got on Eaglepaw."
Burningstar started to say something but Eaglepaw took over the story.
"Frozendawn left with Harrenclaw leaving Fernpaw and I alone. Fernpaw couldn't cross the stepping stones because of her leg, so we had to swim. That's pretty much sums it up." She finished.
Burningstar didn't know what to say. "Well. I see no reason for punishments. And I presume you don't want the Clan to know about you two being Half-Clans."
All three cats nodded. Frosttiger was no longer in the den.
"It is settled then." Burningstar meowed. "If Harrenclaw is to set paw in ForestClan territory ever again, you two have the permission to kill him."
She dismissed the two apprentices. The sisters had shocked looks on their faces as the walked out. This. Is a problem
I hope you all liked it!
