Alderpaw- Molewhisker

Chapter 26

Shadefall was watching Sparkpaw, she had already caught two mice and a squirrel, she was about to lunge on a sparrow when her ears pricked up. Why are you not paying attention? Then Shadefall heard it; yowling and fighting coming from the lakeshore, Oh no!

Shadefall started running towards the fighting, he saw Cherryfall running towards the same direction, seems like she heard it too!

When they arrived to the lake Shadefall stopped in a jolt, Molewhisker was fighting Hawkfrost while Ivypool was turning around Alderpaw smiling. The ginger apprentice looked terrified. Cherryfall jumped in front of Ivypool and the two she-cats started fighting, Molewhisker and Cherryfall don't stand a chance! Shadefall thought, but I can't go against my family! Can I?

"Alderpaw!" a shriek came from behind Shadefall, he turned around to see Sparkpaw running towards him.

The orange she cat was about to lunge to help her brother but Shadefall blocked her way, "Go get help!" he urged her quietly.

"But-"

"Do as I say!"

Shadefall watched as she started running towards camp, when a cat pushed her over, Mapleshade! Oh no what am I going to do now?

Sparkpaw got to her paws and backed away from the tortoiseshell she-cat, only to be cornered between Mapleshade and a tree. She's stuck and she can't win against Mapleshade!

I'm going to be in trouble! But I have to do this.

"Don't you touch her!" Shadefall screeched and he jumped between Mapleshade and Sparkpaw, lashing his tail.

Gasps came from his parents and Mapleshade looked furiously at him, "I'm ready for it! He stared backwards at Sparkpaw who was staring back at him, I love you! He thought as he closed his eyes. The Dark Forest leader lashed at him. Pain spread trout out his body as Mapleshade's sharp claws ripped into his flesh and sent him flying into a tree.

Wolfspirit stopped running as he saw Shadefall bash into a tree and landed on the ground not moving, blood on his side. Sparkpaw was wailing "Shadefall! Get up!" as Mapleshade approached her.

Please make him be just unconscious! He prayed as he lunged at Mapleshade only to be flung back by her paw, Wow! She's stronger than I thought! Wolfspirit realised.

Wolfspirit yowled in surprise as pain hit him from behind, Frostclaw! Tigerstrike! He recognised his sisters' smell and a familiar smell. Breezepelt. We are outnumbered! Wolfspirit was ready to join StarClan when he heard Bramblestar's voice, "Attack."

He got up and tried to look for his sisters but they had disappeared into the undergrowth. He looked for Dark Forest cats but they also had disappeared.

Bramblestar was approaching with Brightheart, Cinderheart, Cloudtail, Lionblaze, Berrynose and Thornclaw. "Cloudtail, Lionblaze try to follow them!"

Wolfspirit ran towards his unmoving brother, Sparkpaw was limping towards him, her eyes grieving. "Tell me he's going to be okay!" She pleaded as Wolfspirit approached, "he saved me, I would be dead without him…"

"He's alive!" Wolfspirit mewed smelling his brother.

"Wolfspirit! Go back to camp!" Bramblestar ordered, "You're bleeding! Bring Sparkpaw with you!"

He hadn't even realised he was bleeding Wolfspirit was too worried about his brother.

"Come on Sparkpaw!" Wolfspirit told the apprentice as he saw Jayfeather and Leafpool approach, "he's in good paws."

Sparkpaw leaned on him as they walked back to camp, Wolfspirit could hear Jayfeather ordering everyone around, "Leafpool go see how the others are doing, Brightheart go with her. Cinderheart go with Wolfspirit- no go with Leafpool, I'll take care of Shadefall!"

As they arrived to camp everyone was in the clearing, they were whispering and all staring at them with shocked and curious glares. I have no time for this! Wolfspirit walked towards the medicine cat's den, Sparkpaw still leaning on him.

"Where are you hurt except from your paw?" he asked the young she-cat.

"No, tell me what you need, you wont be helpful if you're hurt!" she responded sternly. I think I see why Shadefall likes her!

Shadefall woke up in pain; his whole body was hurting as he breathed. He opened his eyes to see joyful green eyes staring at him, Sparkpaw!

"Wolfspirit! He woke up!" she mewed.

"Tell me if he needs anything!" his brothers voice responded.

"Okay. "She turned back to him, "how are you feeling?"

"Like I have been run over by a monster the elders talk about" he responded, "you?"

"I'm fine, thanks to you," Sparkpaw bent down and liked him on the cheek. Shadefall almost melted, I love you!

"And your siblings?" Shadefall asked awkwardly.

"Alderpaw is the only one that has been hurt part from me," she looked to another nest. Shadefall tried to look but the pain was stopping him from moving too much, he only saw a glimpse of the dark ginger tabby tom. "Cherryfall and Molewhisker are also hurt." She added lying down next to him.

Shadefall approached his head towards hers, "I love you!" he whispered.

Sparkpaw lifted her head her green eyes shinning and liked him on the nose, "I love you too!" she whispered back.

Everything is perfect! Shadefall thought as he fell asleep.

What should be next? Dark Forest (Shadefall in trouble)? Warrior ceremony? or?
