Chapter 26: A long story

Emberpaws POV

Brackenfur woke me to take me to the sandy hollow to practice stalking this was the perfect time to start our plan! As we walked through the forest I chose to use the typical apprentice approach.

" Brackenfur I heard the elders talking about this medicine cat and I can't remember her name but they said that she was your littermate so I was wondering if you could tell me about her" I paused Brackenfur had gone stiff his eyes were dark with grief and I put on my most innocent face "please?" I begged my voice sounded just right interested but not overly so Brackenfur sighed "it's a long story Emberpaw we..." I cut him off "we have all day c'mon Brackenfur I'll hunt for the elders for a moon please?" Brackenfur sat down with a thump "fine but you better sit down I don't know how long this will take".

" my sisters name was Cinderpelt when she was an apprentice she got hit by a monster on the thunderpath and her leg got broken so she couldn't be a warrior" Brackenfur eyes looked into the distance and his paws twitched as if he was re-living the memories " she was so sad at first I wanted to help her but I didn't know how I would have done anything for her to be happy and hyper again but she never was" I knew the rest of the story mother had told me so I zoned him out and waited for him to finish.

Brackenfurs POV

I don't know why I did it I never told anyone about Cinderpelt ever since she left she became a taboo in Thunderclan no one talked about her especially not me but for some reason I felt like I had to tell my apprentice everything so I did.

When I was finished I glanced down towards Emberpaw his whole body was stiff but I thought that was just because of his accident his gray pelt and hard blue eyes reminded me of my sister this was how she had looked the last time I had seen her suddenly my apprentice burst into action.

" You said when she got hit by the monster you would have done anything for her, How come when you found out she was pregnant you didn't want to help her? Why did you just stand there? she's your sister!"

I was speechless Emberpaw was practically shaking with anger but why would he feel so strongly about this? And why did he remind me so much of my sister when she got mad? I shook my head to clear it this was too complicated to explain to an apprentice I didn't even know why I told him in the first place!.

" She betrayed me!" I yowled at the sky "she broke the warrior code and she didn't even tell me!" I was panting from the force of my cry I wasn't mad as much as hurt she didn't think I was worth telling! After all I did for her she ran off with some tom and didn't even think about how I would feel! I missed her so much! I missed her laugh and her telling me to stop being a mouse brain and I wished I could see her again!.

Emberpaws POV

Brackenfur was shaking I had gotten the reaction I wanted and more I knew what I had to say "if she was here would you forgive her?" I asked quietly Brackenfur looked up the grief in his eyes seemed to have lightened somewhat "I would! She's my little sister and nothing she does will ever change that" I nodded " I bet if she was here she'd forgive you too" I said then I nudged him " c'mon let's get back to camp" I meowed and raced off towards camp so far our plan was working I couldn't wait to tell the others.
