Hey guys guess whose back! Miss me? Well here's chapter 11 enjoy!
Chapter 11
Starheart headed back outside. Where is Moonstream? She's been out since she woke me.
"Starheart!" Cloudtail ran to the she-cat.
"What?" Starheart asked her deputy.
"Have you seen Moonstream?"
"Not since moonhigh this morning." Starheart answered.
"I'm worried sick-" Starheart continued.
"And you should be. But we need to find her." Cloudtail meowed.
---
Moonstream headed through WindClan. She met Owlclaw – a WindClan warrior. Moonstream stiffened.
The warrior stared at her, he seemed to be staring at her.
"I'm sorry! I needed to get something for my medicine cat. I promise I took no prey! I'll leave!" Moonstream mewed.
Owlclaw was still staring at her. Moonstream headed for the border ignoring the warrior's strange stare – when she came face to face with Brackenstar.
"Brackenstar!"
Moonstream noticed how suspicious it must have seemed to be right by the WindClan border with a WindClan tom padding away.
"Where have you been? And have you seen Rainwhisker?" Brackenstar asked.
"I had insomnia so I went for a night time hunt. I couldn't find anything though." Moonstream lied.
"Come along then." Brackenstar eyed her suspiciously. Moonstream thought back to when she had run into Owlclaw. Why hadn't he clawed her on the spot? She knew he was very prickly. He took after Crowfeather, his older brother. She knew that if he had caught a warrior from another Clan he would've clawed them to bits. Why not her? She shook the thought when she saw the clump of thorns hiding the camp. Sorreltail and Spottedpaw, her daughter quickly ran to Brackenstar and Moonstream. "Have you found Rainwhisker yet?" Moonstream shook her head.
"Where's Starheart?" Moonstream asked.
"Out looking for Rainwhisker with the patrol. You can go join them if you want." Brackenstar mewed.
"Thanks," Moonstream rushed out until she saw Rainwhisker with little Maplekit in his jaws.
"Rainwhisker! Why did you bring that kit here?"
"Swallowtail wanted one of her kits to know their father." Rainwhisker mewed.
"Why did you agree? Do you know how suspicious everyone will be?"
"How many people have seen Whitenose's kits?"
"Not many, but your kit's eyes are already open, Whitenose's are newborn."
"I don't care."
"But Rainwhisker!" Moonstream saw he was already ahead of her.
"Moonstream how could I tell Swallowtail 'no'?" Rainwhisker mewed.
"Easily! Say it with me, 'N-O.'" Moonstream stretched the word to emphasize the word. "See easy."
"Not funny."
"Wasn't trying to be, anyway how are you gonna get this guy into camp unnoticed?"
"Hadn't exactly thought of that."
"Why am I not surprised?"
Rainwhisker rolled his eyes as he put the kit down to walk on his own.
"It can walk and you don't think anyone will notice when Whitenose's kits can barely squirm to her when they're hungry?"
"Okay, I'll say I found a stranded kit and I'm bringing it to the Clan. How about that?"
"Fine, but you realize it'll have yours and Swallowtail's scent, that's exactly how they found out about Leafpool and Crowfeather, through Shadowpaw."
"Oh well," Rainwhisker picked up Maplekit as the headed to the hollow.
Rainwhisker headed into the camp and Moonstream followed.
"Rainwhisker, where have you been?" Moonstream heard Cloudtail say as he and Starheart came toward them.
"I heard something at night and it turned out a rogue or some cat abandoned a kit." Rainwhisker answered.
Cloudtail stared at Maplekit doubtingly. "Bring it to Whitenose if you like." Cloudtail mewed. "Then come to Brackenstar's den. We will discuss this."
Moonstream followed him to the nursery where Whitenose was grooming her sleeping kits.
She looked up at Rainwhisker and he went to sit down by her as he told her the same story he told Cloudtail.
Moonstream wondered if Whitenose would be able to ignore the RiverClan scent on the kit. Whitenose nodded. "Sure thing."
"Thank you," Rainwhisker padded of toward Highledge. He ducked under the lichen curtain.
Moonstream watched as Rainwhisker argued with Cloudtail over whether or not he could keep his kit. Is this what it's like to have kits with a cat from another Clan?
