Well….here ya go!
I woke up in Riverclan camp. Last time I was here, was when Brambleberry and Archclaw had brought me here as a kit when I had gotten onto their territory. I couldn't believe that had only happened 3 moons ago.
Then I saw a fluffy white she-cat with pale blue eyes outside the medicine cat den. She was setting up the sign from "Starclan" about Archclaw. I looked up at the sky. It was nearly dawn.
"Is this happening right now?" I asked.
Snowglimmer nodded.
I walked over to the warriors den and peered inside. Robinflight was curled up in a nest next to Lionfang. My fur bristled as I stared at the golden tabby warrior. Sure he was handsome. But was he really deserving of a cat as beautiful as Robinflight? I then glanced to look at Robinflight. Her fur was silky and glossy, like it was freshly-groomed.
Probably Lionfang's doing. I thought bitterly.
She seemed so peaceful in her sleep. I wondered what she was dreaming of. It must have been a good dream, because a faint smile drew across her lips.
"Lightningblaze…." she murmured.
So she was dreaming of me!
I sat down and listened, while Snowglimmmer continued preparing the sign.
"No….Lightningblaze….come back," she whispered as if she was crying it out. Her paws twitched as if she was running, trying to keep up with me.
I longed to tell her I was right here, but then again, I was dreaming too. Even if a cat walked through me they wouldn't notice my presence.
"Wait Lightningblaze…I need to tell you something!" she muttered as she kicked up some moss in her nest.
I perked my ears curiously.
But before I could hear what she had to say, her eyes snapped open and she began to pant. She must have been scared when I ran away in her dream.
As if on cue, Lionfang stretched and slowly woke up.
"How'd you sleep?" he whispered as he licked Robinflight's forehead.
I dug my claws deep into the sand.
Robinflight kind of flinched and turned away as he licked her forehead. That was a good sign.
"Okay. I had a nightmare but I'm fine now," she replied.
"That's good," Lionfang said," As long as you're okay now baby."
He nuzzled her and Robinflight nuzzled back as not to be rude. But I saw a flash of pain and regret in her eyes as she did so.
"Lightningblaze! Quit mooning over my daughter and get over here!" Snowglimmer hissed.
I turned around and padded over to the medicine cat den. I looked down at the sign. A pool of blood, with a tuft of Blossomkit's fur and a tuft of Brambleberry's fur in it. On top of the two tufts of fur was a claw shaped in a large arch.
"How will cats know who Blossomkit is though?" I asked.
"Some cat will smell it and say that it is a Windclan cat's fur. Then Robinflight will step up and smell it and say it smells like the Windclan kit that she saw Archclaw killing," Snowglimmer explained.
I nodded as she entered the medicine cat den, most likely to wake up Duskpaw and/or Oatclaw. I peered into the den after her. But she was already leaving the den, and Duskpaw was stirring.
"Oh boy, I'm hungry," he muttered as he stretched and yawned.
His bright, green eyes seemed wide awake as he walked out of the den.
He nearly stepped on the sign, when he yelped and ran back inside to wake up Oatclaw.
"Oatclaw! Oatclaw! Get up! There is a sign from Starclan outside our den!" he yelped as he shook his mentor furiously.
"Okay, okay lemme have a look," the mottled ginger tom said as he stood up and shook his ruffled fur.
The two cats stepped out of the den and looked down at the sign.
"What's this about a sign from Starclan?" Lionfang asked.
"Starclan has given us a sign overnight. Gather the clan Lionfang and bring them here. I need their perspective," Oatclaw ordered.
Lionfang nodded and headed to each den to rouse the cats. I looked down at the sign, praying to Starclan they would figure it out.
"What's the claw for?" Duskpaw asked.
"Well it could be the name of a cat. It could be Willowclaw or Voleclaw or Archclaw or Oatclaw," he suggested.
"But it's shaped like an arch," Duskpaw observed.
"Then it must be Archclaw. Now, what are these tufts of fur for?" Oatclaw pressed his apprentice to figure out the sign.
"Well this piece of fur smells like Brambleberry. But she's dead now. And this other fur smells like a Windclan cat, and it is soft and downy so it must be a kit's," Duskpaw said.
"Let me smell it," Robinflight said as she pushed her way through the crowd of cats.
She bent down and sniffed it faintly.
"That's Blossomkit's fur. I saw Archclaw killing her in the battle against Windclan the other day," Robinflight explained.
"So if Archclaw killed Blossomkit, then he must have killed Brambleberry too!" Duskpaw wailed.
"That can't be true! Brambleberry is his sister!" a large dark gray tom in the back of the crowd yowled.
"But sometimes cats are so ambitious they do not pay attention to relationships and bloodlines," Oatclaw replied.
"What's going on around here?" Moonstar snapped as she shoved her way through the crowd.
"Starclan has given us a sign. It says that Archclaw is the murderer of Brambleberry and a Windclan kit named Blossommkit," Oatclaw informed her.
"Archclaw!" Moonstar yowled.
The gray tabby tom stepped through the crowd until he faced Moonstar.
"Is this true?" she asked.
"Of course not! Starclan is madder then a hare!" Archclaw hissed.
Then suddenly Snowglimmer made herself appear.
"Mom?" Robinflight gasped.
I clenched my eyes shut and prayed to Starclan they couldn't see me.
"Archclaw! Your warrior ancestors are the ones that are right! We watched you shred Blossomkit and nearly kill Lightningblaze. Then Brambleberry saves Lightningblaze's life and you kill her for doing so!" Snowglimmer snapped.
"Okay fine! It was me! But I did it for Riverclan's own good! The less kits Windclan has, the less warriors they will have, and the weaker they will be! And when Brambleberry stopped me from killing Lightningblaze, it showed how unloyal she was to Riverclan. And who wants a warrior that is not loyal? So there was no point in her living anymore," Archclaw struggled hopelessly to defend himself.
"Archclaw, you are exiled from Riverclan. Crowfoot and Lionfang will escort you to the border. You must never step on clan territory ever again. And if you do every clan has a right to kill you," Moonstar hissed.
I let out a yowl of joy, knowing no cat besides Snowglimmer would hear me.
"Lightningblaze will be overjoyed. I'll have to tell him tonight," Robinwing whispered under her breath.
"Now go back to your camp. I'll deal with things here," Snowglimmer whispered to me.
Everything began to fade around me, and I was sucked into blackness.
Aight well that is how Archclaw left the clans because of his murderous crimes….but will he return o.O ? anyways I've lost track of which plushies I've given you and I'm too lazy to look back at my previous chapters…soo how about here's a plushie of Archclaw with his claws unsheathed swiping at an enemy!
