Sorry, I was getting too eager for the sequel so I had to post another chapter tonight. I think you will be happy with this chapter like you were the last chapter. Just so you know, this is the chapter that Firestar decides whether or not Littlewhisker stays in ThunderClan.
Disclaimer-I do not own Warriors.
Chapter 25
"Why would a ShadowClan warrior help you?" Rainwhisker joined in, but not in a rude way like Sootfur and Ashfur. He asked in a more curious way.
"The questions never stop do they?" Littlewhisker purred. "Cinderfoot knew I wasn't going to be loyal and knew I had a plan. That's why he helped me and gave ThunderClan messages."
"Messages?" Dustpelt repeated.
"Well, yeah. Why would ShadowClan be stupid by talking about an attack they were going to do when they're along the border of the Clan they were going to attack? I was the one who told Birchfur about the attack," Littlewhisker admitted.
"Why didn't you want us to know?" Squirrelflight asked stepping up to her daughter.
"Why raise hope when it just might fall?" Littlewhisker asked gently to her mother.
"So are you going to let her come back?" Ferncloud repeated.
"'The sun will shine until it meets the shadows. But the thunder will bring it shining as bright as ever,'" Littlewhisker quoted, turning and facing Firestar.
"She'll stay," Firestar decided after silence.
"You're letting a traitor come back after she says, StarClan knows what!" Ashfur hissed.
"StarClan does know what I mean," Littlewhisker meowed. "So do Firestar and Leafpool. It is a prophecy."
"A prophecy about a traitor!" Ashfur hissed. He obviously isn't too happy about seeing Littlewhisker, Birchfur thought. "She put one of our warriors in a medicine cats den. We should kill her!"
Birchfur was about to say something, but Stormpaw beat him to it. "Why don't you ask Birchfur the truth if you don't believe Littlewhisker?"
"I don't need a loud mouth apprentice telling what to do!" Ashfur growled to his niece.
Birchfur didn't want Stormpaw to say anything rude to the older warrior so he meowed, "Littlewhisker saved my life."
"It is decided that Littlewhisker is a member of ThunderClan," Firestar announced. "If I hear anything against it then you will talk to me in my den," he warned. Firestar immediately changed his mood. "Now there is a ceremony to perform. Stormpaw, step forward, you should have had your warrior ceremony long ago. And you finally have it since you've been waiting for Littlewhisker to return."
Littlewhisker turned to Stormpaw with wide eyes. "You refused to become a warrior since I wasn't here?" she asked in a shocked voice. All Stormpaw responded by was a nod of her head. "Mousebrain! Go on!"
Stormpaw padded over to Firestar. "I, Firestar, leader of ThunderClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. She has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend her to you as warriors in her turn. Stormpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend this Clan, even at the cost of your life?" Firestar meowed.
Birchfur looked at his sister. "I do," Stormpaw meowed steadily.
"Then by the powers of StarClan I give you your warrior name, Stormpaw, from this moment you will be known as Stormcloud. StarClan honors your bravery and courage, and we welcome you as a full warrior of ThunderClan." Firestar rested his muzzle on Stormcloud's head and she gave him a respectful lick on his shoulder.
"Stormcloud! Stormcloud! Stormcloud!" the Clan cheered.
"Congratulations, Stormcloud!" Birchfur, Littlewhisker, and Goldentail were the first to welcome the new warrior. "Don't forget that you have to sit a silent vigil," Littlewhisker reminded her. "That was the worst part about becoming a warrior for me."
Stormcloud nodded and took her place for her vigil while Cinderpelt limped up to them both. "You both, in my den, now." Littlewhisker was about to protest, but Cinderpelt must have been ready. "You may have been in another Clan for three moons, but since you have a deep injury that isn't healed you'll be with Birchfur. And besides I think Birchfur will be glad to have you in there; maybe he wouldn't complain as much."
Birchfur and Littlewhisker went over to the den and lay down side by side. "I'm glad you're back," Birchfur purred.
"It's good to be back," Littlewhisker whispered. "Did Blacktooth hurt you too bad?"
"Not as bad as that fox gave you," Birchfur replied. "That was bad luck."
"No, it wasn't. I knew the fox had a den there, but didn't tell ShadowClan. I knew that it would be helpful in some way," Littlewhisker explained.
"So you knew that it was there and it would attack?"
Littlewhisker nodded and closed her eyes.
