Chapter Twenty
A/N: Heey! There's about ten more chapters left! The story slowly draws its way to end! But that's not all. I was thinking of doing two more stories, so this will sort of be a trilogy. This story right now, will be the threequel. So basically, the story will be backwards since I didn't exactly think that there should be more .-. But I kind of got ideas, and with all of your love and support, I thought it would be nice to add some back story to this~ So, the sequel will be 'Ferns of Ice' And will be based on Icefern. Then the very very first story, will be called 'My name is Sorrowflower' And this will be the last one. As I said. It's just a thought O:
"Redfur, you have served our Clan well, and ThunderClan will accept and respect you as an elder" Owlstar finished, dipping his head at the former deputy. Redfur bowed his head at the cats as they cheered his name. Foxheart and Thrushtail went over and meowed some unheard words to the new elder. Just behind Whiteblossom, she heard Morningspiral mewing to Cherryjubilee. Pricking her ear in their direction, she could just make out some words.
"Who do you think the next deputy is gonna be?" Morningspiral asked.
"You would be a good one. Duskshine, Sunclaw, or even Wolfmist may be good too" She heard Cherryjubilee reply. Morningspiral hissed.
"Whiteblossom would be a stupid deputy, don't you agree?" Morningspiral commented, a menacing snarl laced in with her innocent-honey like voice.
Cherryjubilee didn't reply, but the white warrior pointed her ears in another direction, she was tired of listening to Morningspiral.
"Hi Whiteblossom!" Ditzypaw called. Whiteblossom looked down to see her small black apprentice stumbling towards her.
"Hey Ditzypaw" Whiteblossom purred, striding over and nuzzling the apprentice. Ditzypaw giggled happily.
"What are we gonna do today?" She asked. Her yellow eyes wandered in different directions, but the bubbly apprentice didn't seem to notice.
Whiteblossom blinked thoughtfully.
"Maybe you can join Wolfmist and Carrotpaw for hunting?" Whiteblossom tilted her head. Ditzypaw's eyes lit up.
"Yeah! I would like that!" She exclaimed happily. Whiteblossom purred once more.
"Are you coming though?" Ditzypaw looked concerned for a moment.
The senior warrior shook her head.
"I'm afraid not. There's something I must do, and tell Wolfmist I told you to join them please" Whiteblossom instructed. Ditzypaw smiled and nodded.
"I'll see you at sunset! And remember, hunting in leaf-fall is different than green-leaf" Whiteblossom called as Ditzypaw tried her best to walk in one direction towards the great gray warrior, and the small ginger apprentice.
'Okay, now that that's done, I'll go ask Icefern if she happens to know Feather. Feather sees Sorrowflower like her and I do. Maybe there's a connection with this? Oh, stupid stupid you Whiteblossom! Why didn't you think of this sooner?' Whiteblossom's thought trail ended as she spotted Icefern speaking head to head with Gentlepaw.
"Hi Icefern" She meowed, halting beside the two cats. Icefern glanced up at Whiteblossom.
"Hey sister" Icefern mewed in response.
"Can we speak again in private?" Whiteblossom asked, signaling with her tail to Gentlepaw that she was dismissed. The gray she-cat looked at Icefern for approval.
"Of course" She answered, nodding her head at Gentlepaw to leave the two sisters alone.
"What's up, Whiteblossom?" Icefern asked.
"I want you to meet someone" Whiteblossom whispered. Icefern looked hesitant for a moment, but she nodded.
"Lead the way" She said, padding behind Whiteblossom. The trip to High Stones was shorter than both cats expected, they both jogged the way there. And as Whiteblossom climbed up the last stones, she couldn't help but lie down for rest.
"Feather?" She called. The gray tabby poked her head out of a bush.
"Hi Blossom! Who's this? Oh! You must be new here! Hm let me guess your name ... Is it Frost, Snow, Hail, Wind, Freeze, Gray, White, Amber, Winter, Solstice, as a prefix or suffix of any kind!?" Feather gasped.
Icefern looked taken aback by the sudden outburst. When the medicine cat didn't respond, Feather suppressed a devious grin.
"Oh oh! I've been thinking of a time to use this name on a cat that won't tell me their name! So, from now on, I shall now call you, MAGGOTTAIL!" Feather burst out again.
Icefern's eyes turned concerned.
Whiteblossom couldn't help but stifle laughter.
"Maggottail? Sounds like a disease!" Whiteblossom laughed. Icefern glared at her, and at once the laughter died down.
"So, Whiteblossom and Maggottail, why did ya come all the way up here?" Feather asked.
Icefern interrupted before Whiteblossom could speak.
"My name is Icefern. Not Maggottail" Icefern corrected. Feather sighed, defeated.
"We came to talk about Sorrowflower" Whiteblossom meowed, changing the topic.
"We came to talk about Sorrowflower" Whiteblossom meowed, changing the topic. Feather's amused grin faded.
"What do you wanna know?" She asked.
"I want to find out how we can all see her. You see, Icefern is my sister, and we barely know you. Have you and Sorrowflower have any kind of relation ship?" Whiteblossom questioned. Feather thought long and hard for a moment, before her smile appeared back.
"Nope!"
Whiteblossom pressed on.
"What does she say to you?" Whiteblossom narrowed her eyes questionly. Feather didn't notice Whiteblossom's stare.
"We really just are friends. But there's something that she talks about once in awhile, and she calls it 'Sweet revenge'. Sometimes I do tasks for her, but I can't tell anyone what they are" Feather replied, flicking her tail.
"I don't even remember what they are" She added.
Whiteblossom blinked in interest.
"Oh, all of my favourite cats here! That's lovely!" Sorrowflower purred from beside the she-cats.
A/N #2: Eh this is kind of short, but I'm pretty tired ... So yeah xD
