Here is the next chapter. So so sorry I didn't update in forever. I made it long for you guys! Tell me what you think. Review please!
Heartfeather padded out into the forest. She just wanted sometime alone for once. She got intot he hunters crouch as she saw a vole make its way across the forest floor. She crept up to it silently and pounced snapping its neck quickly. She ate the vole silently. She wasnt on a hunting patrol so it didnt matter. She burried the remains and continued to pad threw the forest. She sented the air and instead of prey she caught another sent. Shadowclan sent. Her eyes wiodened and she got ready to run back to camp to warn Stonestar. Before she could move she felt herself falling to the ground. She looked up and it was Hawkstone.
"Hawkstone!" She gasped.
"Wh-what are you doing!?" She meowed.
"Its Hawkstar now." he hissed. "And this is for my father!" He yowled. He raised his claws and Heartfeather saw more Shadowclan warriors creep out of the bushes. Before his claws hit her neck a cat ran out of the bushes yowling. A blurr of white knocked Hawkstar off her. Heartfeather jumped up.
"Iceheart!" She meowed. But instead of Dark blue eyes dark green ones met hers.
"Dont kill her." Frostfang meowed. "I will keep her here... while you go attack the clan." he meowed. Hawkstar didnt say anything just flicked his tail for his warriors to follow him as they headed for Thunderclan camp.
"No they are going to hurt my kits!" She screeched at Frostfang. he said nothing just glared at her. "Yours too!" She yowled. He still didnt say anything. She started to fun towards thunderclan camp but she felt paws drag her gently backwards.
"No." Frostfang finnaly spoke.
"Frostfang!!" Heartfeather screeched in anger. Suddenly she heard someone in the bushes and Iceheart jumped out growling.
"Get away from her!" He spat at his brother. Frostfangs fur bristled and he stepped foward untilt he two brothers were standing nose to nose. Frostfang flicked his tial and Swiftpaw came out. She jumped on Heartfeather holding her down.
"You arent going anywhere." The strong she cat hissed in her ear. Heartfeather tried to get up but couldnt. She wasnt caught up on practice from being a queen.
"This is going to be your defeat Iceheart. No longer are you going to take things away from me. No longer are you going to win!" Frostfang spat. Suddenly before Heartfeather could yowl Frostfang jumped on Iceheart ripping open his throat.
"Nooooo!!!!' Heartfeather yowled. She thrashed wildley and threw Swiftpaw off his. Her head smacked into the tree and Swiftpaw didnt move. Heartfeather jumped at Frostfang knocking him down. "I hate you!" She screeched. "I hate you so much!' She yowled. She raised her claws and went to bring it down on Frostfangs neck but then she saw his eyes. They turned soft and she remembered her friend Frostpaw.
"I-I cant do it...' She meowed. She then looked at Iceheart's unmoving body and anger flared threw her again. She looked at Frostfang but it went away again. She stepped off him. "Get. Out. Of . Here. Or I will kill you!" She hissed. Frostfang got up and padded away. he got Swiftpaw by the scruff and dragged her towards the thunderpath. they crossed over into Shadowclan territory and vanished among the ferns. Heartfeather turned around and ran to Iceheart.
"Iceheart! Iceheart!" She cried collapsing by his body. She cried silently into his fur as she heard fighting cats in the distance. She stood up, she needed to do something. She dragged his body hiding it a bit. he ws still alice he was brething. She put cobwebs on his neck.
"I will be back for you. I promise." She murmrued. She then ran towards the camp. She ran threw the entrance and looked around. She saw Flowerpaw, and Petalpaw fighting five large warriros. Thunderclan was outnumbered and by allot. Heartfeather jumped on one of the warrios ripping out its throat. It driopped dead. She then jumped at another and did the same thing. She then jumped at a red tom and clawed angrily at his eyes. She ran out crying in pain. She looked and saw Petalpaw, and Flowerpaw both lying unmoving. There wasnt time to grieve. She ran towards the nursery where shadowclan warriros were trying to get past Nightwing, Patchfur, and Streamfur. She jumped at a big brown tabby biting hard into his neck. He dropped dead. She continued to fight chasing some off, killing most. She didnt care. Her kits and Iceheart flashed threw his mind. The Shadowclan warriors became less and soon she heard Hawkstars call to retreat. When they were gone She looked up as Stonestar limped up to her.
"Iceheart is out in the forest. he is ingured bad." She meowed. Stonestar flicked his tail to Icehearts apprentice Pinepaw who didnt seem ingured too badly and Pinepaw ran to get him.
"I am on my last life...." he meowed. "Count up the warriros dead then come tell me." he meowed. Heartfeather nodded and looked around. She walked over to the unmoving Petalpaw and Flowerpaw. They were both still breathing. That was a relief. She flicked her tail for Whitepaw to come look at her sister, and her sisters friend. Heartwing saw a unmoving gray pelt and ran over. She nugged it but it didnt move. She let out a silent cry for then looked around more and saw a unmoving silver pelt. No no no no! She ran over and nosed her mothers fur. She didnt move. She let out a silent cry. She shook her head. She had to finish her job. She could grieve later. Heartfeather went in and counted the kits. she relized Silverkit, Redkit, and Stormkit were missing. She gasped and ran out to Stonestar.
"Stonestar! Streamfur, and Wolfpaw are ... dead..." She meowed. Stonestar loward his head in sadness.
"But Redkit, Silverkit, and Stormkit are missing!" She meowed in panic for her kits.
"Shadowclan probaly took them!" Stonestar meowed in anger. "Take Cloudspots, Nightwing, Sleetpaw, Skypaw, and Maplepool with you. Go get them." He meowed. She nodded and rounded up the cats. They raced threw the forest and they saw three shadowclan cats crossing the thunderpath witht he kits in there jaws. Heartfeather yowled and lunged for the one with her daughter Silverkit. She clawed at his pelt and chased him off. She carried SIlverkit off the thunderpath and watched as Skypaw bought over Stormkit, and Sleetpaw bought over Redkit. Cloudspots and Maplepool chased the Shadowclan cats back into there own territory. Heartfeather licked her kits pelts worried. But they all were perfectly fine. She sighed and headed back to camp with her friends and they got back everyone was treated and cleaning up the camp. Some warriros were dragging the dead Shadowclan cats out to go lay at the shadowclan border. She took her kits into the nursery then ran into the medicine den. She saw Iceheart was was sleeping.
"Will he be okay?!" She asked Nettleclaw. He nodded.
"He should be fine. but he will have to resign as deputy. He wont be recovered for about a season." Nettleclaw meowed.
"I will go tell Stonestar." She meowed. She nuzzled Iceheart and padded over to him. "We got the kits back. Icheart wont be able to go back to warrior dutys for a season." She meowed.
"We need a new deputy then." Stonestar meowed. Heartfeather nodded. "Okay." he meowed he jumped on high rock and called the clan together. Heartfeather looked around. They were becoming few.
"Iceheart can no longer be deputy! He wont be recovered for a season. The new deputy will be Heartfeather!" he yowled. Heartfeather jaw dropped. She was not expecting that. She thought Oakstorm, or Patchfur were going to get it. Cats congradulated her and when she ran up to Stonestar to ask why he picked her. he just flicked his tail and walked into his den. She stopped in her tracks and watched him go in complete and utter shock.
There you go. Again I am so so so so so so sorry for not updating in forever. Review!
