ON WITH THE CHAPTER
…
Toadstar's Pov
"So you are saying that we shouldn't attack Fang?" Stripesky was the first to speak after I had told everyone. I flicked my tail and flattened my ears slightly. "He isn't the bad one, do you all remember Shard?" I growled slightly and murmuring began. I looked around and saw Duskcloud by the entrance to the nursery; our kits were sitting by her with their eyes wide.
"Of course we remember him, he's the reason all of this began," Glacierstone hissed and there were nods. "Well he is controlling Fang, have any of you noticed, when he attacks, he becomes a way better fighter?" I said, trying to convince them. It took a while for me to believe this myself, but I must trust Ice and Miststar. I looked over at Icestar and she gave a small nod. I had already talked to her about it.
"Well, what do you think we should do?" Goldenhawk spoke out once everyone was silent. I shuffled my paws and closed my eyes. "I think the best decision… will be to bring them here," I muttered.
"Have you gone insane Toadstar?" Shadestone snapped and I opened my eyes, shooting a glare at my deputy. I stepped closer to the edge of the branch and lashed my tail, flattening my ears. I looked over at Duskcloud. Her emotions shone in her eyes, nervous but happy.
"My decision is final, and Icestar believes the same," I said, flicking my tail over to the Hailclan leader. Icestar stood up from her place and walked up. "Toadstar is right, it's better if we bring them here so we could have more allies once we face Shard," she said in a calming voice, most likely trying to finalize the meeting.
"I want a patrol to go and retrieve Fang and Snow," Icestar yowled and lashed her tail, leaping down from the branch. I followed her quickly and saw the other dispersing. I walked over to Shadestone and he narrowed his eyes slightly.
"I want you to lead the patrol, along with Mudstorm," I said and he scowled. "Why should I do it?" he growled and I pulled my lips back into a snarl. "That's an order Shadestone," I gave a low growl and he finally gave in, walking over to Mudstorm. I lashed my tail before walking over to the nursery, after Duskcloud went back inside.
"Mom, who is Fang?" I heard Fogkit ask excitedly. I ducked inside the nursery and purred softly. Palestone's kits, Brightkit and Ashkit, were sitting by Fogkit and Swampkit. They were much bigger and I chuckled softly at the way they looked. Fogkit turned around and smiled wildly, running to me.
"Should I tell them," Duskcloud murmured and licked the top of Swampkit's head, causing him to back up in protest. I sat beside her and nudged Fogkit gently with my paw. She pounced on it and I stopped moving it, making her believe she had caught a piece of prey. I gave a small shrug and crouched down so I was head level with Fogkit.
"Toadstar," I heard Shadestone call me and I gave a silent growl. I stood up and sighed. "I'll be back," I said and stepped over the kits. I padded outside and saw the patrol; Shadestone, Mudstorm, Goldenhawk, Cloudshadow, Flowerpool, Silversnow, Stonepaw, Echopaw, and Leopardpaw. I flicked my ear and padded over to them.
"Where should we look?" Shadestone said bitterly and I bit back a growl. "Surely they would be on Hailclan territory, that's where they were last spotted," I said and they nodded slightly. The Hailclan cats glanced at each other in excitement, they were going to be back in their old territory. "Good luck and be careful," I said and Shadestone snorted.
"Whenever Fang is involved, nobody is safe," I heard him growl under his breath and began leading the patrol out of camp. I flattened my ears and whipped around, going back to the nursery.
…
Fang's POV
I had decided to go hunting in the morning before Snow woke up. The idea of her having my kits was still fresh in my mind, causing me to purr loudly. I flicked my ear and leaped down onto the squirrel I was tracking down, crushing it against the branch and leaning over to bite its neck. I picked it up once it went limp and jumped down from the tree.
The snow crunched underneath my paws and I heard something running off. I growled and buried the squirrel quickly. I raced off in the direction I heard the running and leapt onto the branches, causing no sound against the wood. Although there was still snow on the branches, I made sure to stay closer to the tree trunk so it wouldn't fall off. I saw the cause of the sound, a rabbit. I flicked my ears and stared down at it. It had led me close to the edge of the Frost Forest.
My claws unsheathe slowly and scraped silently against the bark. I crouched down and jumped over the edge, landing directly onto the unaware rabbit. I gave a victorious purr and bit its neck, swaying my tail happily. I picked it up and trotted back to the buried squirrel. I froze when a familiar scent entered my nose.
I looked around wildly and abandoned my squirrel. I set the rabbit down and unsheathed my claws, flattening my ears. Looks like the badgers were still here. There were at least two badgers that appeared in front of me. I took a small step back and lashed my tail. I felt the blindness wanting to come out, but I forced it away and hissed.
The badgers growled in response and they charged to me. I took a step forward and leapt over one of them, landing in front of the other. I quickly ducked underneath its sharp claws and dove out of the way. I whipped around and slashed my claws against the badger's leg, jumping out of the way before it could bite down.
The two badgers cornered me against the tree. I gave an irritated growl and flattened myself against the cold snow. "Stupid badgers," I grumbled and leapt onto the right one's head. It shook its head violently and threw me off. The second one ran around the first one and bit down on my tail. I snarled and jumped towards it, slashing my claws at its face.
It let me go quickly and backed up. I hissed at that one and turned my head towards the other one, hissing at it as well. Before they could charge forward again, a yowl entered my ears and I lifted my head. The badgers had also turned their heads in the direction the yowl came from.
To my surprise, I saw a couple of Hailclan and Fogclan cats. Shadestone and Mudstorm were among them, along with Flowerpool. Before they charged down, one of the badgers growled at me and slashed its claws at me again. I easily ducked down and tackled it, knowing the patrol could handle the second. Of course, the badger was too big and bulky that I couldn't move it. I lashed my claws at its chest and bit its leg, dodging its claws yet again.
It shook its backwards and snarled. I smirked and kicked up snow into its face, temporarily blinding it. I hissed and leapt onto its head after, biting its ear and clawing its muzzle with my back legs. I climbed onto its back and jumped off it, turning around to face it again once I had landed.
I spared a glance over at the patrol. They outnumbered the badger and were already chasing it away. I ducked underneath its paw again, hitting my chin against the ground below me, and ran at it. I lashed my claws up its chest and bit its shoulder. It growled again and managed to bite my back, its jaw enclosing around my sides, and threw me.
I hissed when I barley landed on my paws and shook myself out. I couldn't become blind now, since the patrol was here. I looked over at them and hissed again. The badger had enough though, since it began running after the other one. The patrol gave out a triumphant yowl and I turned to face them. I crouched down and snarled, my fur bristling.
"Fang, we aren't here to fight you, we were looking for you," Flowerpool said and I narrowed my eyes. "Our leaders realized that you aren't the bad one," Goldenhawk said, but I knew he was reluctant. I remained silent and glared at them. "I think they would want you to join the clan, well for now at least," Cloudshadow spoke up and I perked my ears up.
They stayed silent, most likely waiting for a response. I stood up and forced my fur to lay flat. "Come with me, if Snow says yes, then we'll go. But if she says no, don't expect to leave so easily," I said and flexed my claws for emphasis. They nodded slightly and I looked around. I padded over to the rabbit and picked it up quickly before leading them back to the cave.
…
My wound began to sting slightly, but I ignored it as I told the patrol to stay at the edge of the Frost Forest. I couldn't risk them finding my den if Snow didn't agree. I ran the rest of the way back. I slowed down to a brisk walk when I arrived at the den and went inside. Snow was awake now, sitting up in the nest. She lifted her head and smiled slightly. I padded up to her, dropped the rabbit by the nest, and nuzzled her softly.
"You're hurt," she murmured and I glanced at the wounds. "I'm fine, we have company though," I said quickly and she looked at me. I explained what the patrol had said to me. She perked her ears up slightly when I said about rejoining the clan for now. I knew she definitely missed some of them.
"What do you think?" I said after she finished eating the rabbit. "I want to, but what if they're lying, we would be in the center of them all," Snow said worriedly and I nodded slightly. "I don't think they will risk their safety again," I said, remembering what had happened after they killed Smoke.
"I think it'll also be better for you, after all, I know nothing about what to do when you are kitting," I said with a small purr and nuzzled her. She purred softly and sighed. I looked at her and she smiled.
"Alright," she said simply and I perked my ears up. "Let's go," she added and stood up, licking my ear. I licked her muzzle and we walked outside.
"I left them at the edge of the Frost Forest, couldn't risk them finding my den," I said and she nodded. We made our way the short distance to the Frost Forest. The patrol was still there, I saw the Fogclan cats shivering slightly. They perked up immediately when they saw me.
They stood up and looked at me, ready to run if I said no. I smirked inwardly and took a deep breath in. "We'll go, but if you make even the smallest attempt to hurt any of us, your clan will be sorry," I snapped and they nodded hesitantly. They turned around and began leading us through the Frost Forest and back towards the Abandoned Forest.
What was it like in a clan? All my life I was a rouge, but know I will be temporarily joining the clan with Snow. I swayed my tail nervously. As long as she's there, I can pull through. For her and for my kits.
…
A/N: How was that? Turns out they're joining the clan! Hooray. Again, sorry for forgetting to upload so much.
