GRR! DANCER OF THE WIND IS THE ONLY ONE WHO REVIEWED! What's wrong with you people? Sorry, not much action for a couple of these chapers. Do not worry it shall come soon! Did anybody know chapter 7 is no longer an author's note?
Moonflower flinched as his shocked voice pierced her ear and made her heart skip a beat. "And why is a-a-whatever Clan she's from she-cat with you?" "Um...I, I can explain." "Then explain now!" He was acting like her father.
Moonflower swished her tail steadily and looked him in the eye, "StarClan told me to bring her, she must help us defeat a great evil that is to arise." Cloudtail stared at her and roughly mewed, "What are you? A medicine cat?"
Moonflower had nothing to say to that. Squirrelflight yawned and poked her head out of the den mumbling tiredly, "What's going on? Moonflower? Is that you? Sorreltail was so worried and--" She stopped and hissed, "Who's this?"
Night licked her paw and brushed it over her fur, "I'm Night, Squirrelflight, you know my mother Brook don't you?" Squirrelflight's bristling fur lay flat and her ears perked up, "Brook! You're a Tribe cat I should've known!"
She blushed, "I can't believe I couldn't recognize your scent..." Cloudtail seemed calmer, "A Tribe cat? Maybe she could stay with us afterall." Brambleclaw automatically stepped out of the warriors den, "Mousebrain, it wasn't that long ago."
Squirrelflight mewed grumpily, "Look who's talking." Moonflower quickly added before a fight would break out, "Shouldn't you be going? It's a little after dawn." Cloudtail nodded, "We should be going anyways." Grassheart stifled a mrrow of laughter.
She was watching at the shocked faces of every cat of the Clan who were awake because the of noise. "They look hilarious!" Grassheart giggled some more. Moonflower sent her a sharp glance to silence her. Firestar padded out of his den,
"Moonflower, why have you brought a Tribe cat with you?" His voice was calm, it didn't show any hostility towards Night. Moonflower took a deep breath and explained everything all over again. Some cats protested, mumbling loud enough for her to hear,
"You're not a medicine cat or Clan leader!" Leafpool stepped up in defense to lie for her, "I told her about the dream and that she had to go get the second chosen one." Moonflower dipped her head slightly in gratitude. The crowd went quiet.
Firestar seemed to know the truth, but played along, "If Night is here to help, she may stay." No one argued, some just cast hungry glances at the fresh-kill pile, "Then it's settled, she will stay, and we will welcome her as much as we can."
Moonflower let out a mrrow of amusement, her sister could stay! They celebrated by hunting and showing Night how to do so in a forest, instead of a mountain. Woodclaw tagged along for an unknown reason, he kept staring at the sleek black she-cat.
Moonflower probably knew why by the stares he sent her. They hunted to no end. They were having so much fun just prancing in the forest and having contests on chasing rabbits while letting the prey know they were there.
As they reached the lake shores, Night dabbed her forepaw at the crystaly water. Suddenly, she plunged herself into the cool, refreshing lake giggling and splashing. "Come on Moonflower the water's fine!" Her sister stared in awe.
Moonflower voiced her thoughts, "You know how to swim?" Night nodded and gave her a look that said, "I thought every cat knew how to swim." She paddled her paws in the water, guiding her to the middle, "Oh! A cute island in a lake!"
Moonflower remembered clearly how she met Sunstorm: by nearly drowning in water. She slipped both forepaws into the water. Then she lowered the rest of her body inside. An icy chill tingled her fur, but it felt so pleasent.
Grassheart came next, she was like a fish to water once she knew the fun of it. Then came a reluctant Woodclaw. Moonflower and her adopted siblings paddled over to Night, hoping there wasn't some kind of territory line in the lake.
Night was already in the island, examining every corner of it. Woodclaw and Grassheart climbed into the island to run after her and get her back. Moonflower stayed inside, she had come to like the water. A ginger tom immediatley jumped in growling,
"Get out of our lake!" Moonflower whirled her head around mewing with surprise at the sight of the tom, "Sunstorm?" Sunstorm's amber eyes widend, "You know how to swim!" "Well, my sister taught us, Woodclaw, Grassheart you know."
Sunstorm hurried her to ThunderClan shores, "You best get out, RiverClan thinks this whole lake is part of our territory. Moonflower shook her head, "But, my siblings are still in the island trying to get Night back from there and bring her back."
Sunstorm sighed, "I'll get her..." He swam towards the Gathering place and hopped onto the island, bolting into the shadow of the trees, Moonflower could see him no more. She sat there waiting for a while, waiting, waiting, until the sun was about to set.
"Where are they?" She squinted hard at the island. "Moonflower!" She could hear cats calling her name, they must've sent a patrol out to get her. She didn't want to get into anymore trouble, and the others didn't come back yet.
So she kicked away silently through the water and forced herself to duck her head underneath the surface. Moonflower swam under water until her lungs felt they were to burst. She flung her head above the water gasping for air.
She was at the island already. Moonflower glanced around and sneaked onto land. A strong stench of blood filled her nose, and a sense of foreboding washed over her mind. She covered herself in fox-dung to hide her scent.
Moonflower had no idea why she did that. She padded into the shadows softly. As she continued on, the strong scent of fresh and stale blood nearly choked her. She swallowed the lump in her throat and let her jaws hang open to catch more smells.
Moonflower could smell Grassheart! Grassheart's scent was mixed in with the stench of blood..."Could that mean?" She shook the thought off of her and let more smells wash into her mouth, "Sunstorm! Woodlcaw and Night!"
Moonflower heard a sudden insane roar of triumph, "I'll kill you again and again! No matter how many lives you have left." She peered through the shadowed trees thick branches, seeing a tabby tom bending over a spotted she-cats body.
Without warning, someone grabbe her from behind and pulled her into a place full of more trees, Moonflower struggled to scream, but the tip of a tail shoved itself into her mouth. The cat that had captured her hissed, "It's me Sunstorm! Please be quiet."
Moonflower perked up her ears in relief and relaxed her muscles, "Boy you smell like fox-dung no offence." Sunstorm murmured under his breath. A hiss of agony pierced her ears and she flinched as she heard a slashing of claws.
Moonflower listened intently as Sunstorm explained, "When I got onto the island and found them, we were ready to leave, but we heard a noise, and found Hawkfrost with Leopardstar in darkened area where no one could see them.
We were afraid to leave, and ended up staying here, Badgerstrength is coming back with some fresh-kill to eat." Moonflower looked at him wierdly and mumbled, "Badgerstrength?" "He was worried and followed our scents onto the island."
Another great stench of thick and newly spilled blood washed over her glands, and a yowl sounded out loud enough for them to hear a little bit as they padded closer, "Now, I am Hawkstar! Tigerstar are you proud?" A gust of wind flew by as an answer that seemed to say,
"I am, now go on to the next step!"
Hawkfrost is now Hawkstar! Gasp! This one was rushed again! Was longer then usual cuz I had to explain stuff, Only, I'm not sure if Hawkfrost would let out an insane roar, but he was glad, cuz his father supported him. So, R and R!
