Lionclaw pulled himself out of the water, his pelt soaking. Mudpaw had reached the shore heartbeats before him and the other dog had drowned because it couldn't swim.
"Thanks." The golden tabby meowed as they padded along.
They halted in conversation.
"It's part of the job to defend the clan at all times." The dog reminded him. "Just did what had to be done."
"You did good." Lionclaw told him. "Let's get back to camp."
"Alright." Mudpaw agreed.
They slowly padded the rest of the way towards camp. Just as they entered, Lionclaw realized that his injured paw had begun to bleed again. He didn't care much though. He'd had worse pain before. Much worse.
Lionclaw entered the medicine den, followed by Mudpaw.
"What is it?" Littlestorm asked gruffly.
"Hello, Littlestorm." The golden warrior mewed. "It's a long story…"
Chapter 17
It had been half of a moon and things have already begun to change. Majorly. Lionclaw woke up to hear battling cats. He slowly padded out of the empty warriors' den. What was happening? He ran right past the fresh-kill pile and out of the camp. He didn't see any of the cats, yet he heard the screeching coming from all over. A war? He heard a loud bark among the screeching.
Confused, Lionclaw raced towards the beach. When he reached it, he looked around. At every border, cats were battling. He had to stop this. He had to stop this now. He began making a lot of the water rise and most of the fighting cats stopped to look up at it. He let out a loud yowl and made waves of water fly at each border, separating the cats. Once he had accomplished the task, he let the water drop back into the lake.
It wasn't enough. The cats started attacking each other again.
"Now what?" He asked himself.
"There's nothing you can do, Lionclaw." A voice meowed.
The golden tabby tom turned to see a wolf-like cat looking at him. It was obvious based on the ghost-like features of this cat that he was with Starclan. Wolf-He prowled through his mind for the rest of the name.
"Wolfsoul." The cat told him. "That's my name."
"What do you mean that I can't do anything?" Lionclaw pressed on the matter.
Wolfsoul looked him straight in the eyes. "The war has only just begun."
Guess what? I'm leaving it at that. Go ahead and post a review of what you think will happen in the next book. Hope you enjoyed.
