Warriors Old Memories
Chapter 13
"How many times do I have to tell you? Shut up!" Swiftpaw growled
"What are you-"Splashpaw was cut off as Swiftpaw pushed his paw over her mouth
"Shut up!" Swiftpaw hissed as he leaned in closer to her face
"Swiftpaw?" Chestpaw questioned the scene he saw before his eyes "What's going on here?" He came into the medicine den and split the two apart
"You wouldn't understand this is between me and Splashpaw" Swiftpaw glanced at his sister before facing his brother again
"What did I do?" Splashpaw whined
"You decided to become a medicine cat!" Swiftpaw shouted
"But that's her decision" Chestpaw stepped a little closer to Splashpaw in case Swiftpaw tried anything
"What does me becoming a medicine cat have to do with you attacking me like that" Splashpaw hissed bearing her teeth in a snarl
"Because we were going to train together and make our parents proud together, not with you being a medicine cat and me and Chestpaw being warriors" Swiftpaw whined
"Oh Swiftpaw" Splashpaw walked over to her brother and placed her tail on his shoulder as she did the world around her went black and she saw the shadow of cat standing over the clearing in her camp but when she looked up to see the cat the moon became more brighter to show the bodies of her clanmates lying in front of her with her parents right at the front, there eyes sightless and dull as if their bodies had been placed there specifically so she would see them first but then everything went bright again and she was back in the medicine den with her brothers standing in front of her
"Splashpaw, are you ok?" Chestpaw fretted Splashpaw looked at her brothers who were staring bewildered in front of her "what did you see?" Chestpaw pushed on
"Darkness…" Splashpaw replied in barely a whisper "Our clanmates lying on the ground in a pool of blood… and the figure of a cat staring down into the clearing…" Splashpaw could barely feel her paws beneath her
"What?" Swiftpaw shouted, he obviously thought the same thing Splashpaw thought that the figure above her was Swiftpaw
"I'm sure it had nothing to do with-"Splashpaw had been cut off by Swiftpaw pouncing on her and knocking the air out of her chest
"You're wrong!" he growled Swiftpaw's eyes were full of hatred as he stared down at her while unsheathing his claws and digging them harder into Splashpaw's shoulders
"Stop!" Chestpaw shoved his brother off of Splashpaw leaving her gasping for breath, Chestpaw had shoved his brother so hard that he lay limp on the other side of the medicine den; Swiftpaw quickly raced across the den and pounced on his brother screeching and hissing as they rolled together in a matt of fur
"Stop this at once!" Another voice growled from the entrance to the medicine den the two brothers immediately stopped fighting and broke apart while facing the voice "What in the name of Starclan are you doing?" It was Rainstar the leader of Roarclan
"Fighting" Swiftpaw hissed facing his brother his lip curling back in a snarl
"Why were you fighting?" another cat padded out from behind Rainstar, it was Lilysnow the medicine cat of Roarclan
"None of your business medicine cat…" Swiftpaw stomped out of the medicine den giving Chestpaw and Splashpaw one last glance before rushing through the ferns that covered the entrance
"Splashpaw!" Lilysnow raced to her apprentice's side "What happened?" Splashpaw didn't reply simply glanced up at her mentor then flopped back down the ground gasping for breath as blood poured from her shoulders and stained the ground beneath her
"What happened to her?" Rainstar pressed to Chestpaw
"I...I don't know" Chestpaw stuttered before racing out of the medicine den shame pouring out of him
"It's alright; try not to move we'll have you back to health as soon as we can" Lilysnow soothed to Splashpaw but Splashpaw wasn't thinking of the pain in her shoulder she was thinking of what she had seen when she rested her tail on Swiftpaw's shoulder and the pure hatred she had seen in his eyes as he held her down, Splashpaw's body went limp and her body fell into a deep sleep.
