A/N: I have returned from the dead! Jk. How's it going everybody? I know it's been like two months since I last updated on this story and any other story that I've written. After all, it is summer. I already explained to those in my Facebook group, so if you have Facebook go ahead and join it to get updated. Sorry if you think I quit everything, I just had a small two month brake and I'm willing to make it up to you guys by updating (or trying to at least) every day of the month of July. If I can't, it's just in a situation where I can't update because of the computer/family issues/Wi-Fi.
Thanks to MorningGale, ConspiracyWolf, and katwest470 for following and adding this story as a favorite.
Reviews
WarriorCatzFan- It's always good to have some books to read c:
Wandering Lion- Yay? Lol
Warrior Fan- Don't worry, suspense is lethal XD, aww I feel loved c:
Snowball- The final chapter tells you how this story ends; besides I don't think I would want to write another sequel, since I've already busy writing two other ones.
The Age of Awesomeness- I would read more, but not many books catch my interest and I also don't have time to go to the store like every day or to the library to get another book.
Guest- So sorry for the long wait, but here is a chapter :D
Thanks for the reviews everybody :3
ON WITH THE CHAPTER
…
Toa dstar's POV
I paced inside the den that I had to share with Icestar since I was leader. She licked her paw calmly, as if we weren't opening our clans to the monster who's killed a majority of us throughout the seasons the clan's been alive. My mind whirled with questions that had to go unanswered for now.
"How can you be so relaxed?" I finally managed to say to the Hailclan leader. She stopped licking her paw and raised her head. "How can you be so nervous?" she said in an almost teasing way. I flicked my ear and shook out my pelt before sitting down.
"Don't worry Toadstar, everything will be figured out once they arrive," she said and stood up from her nest. I couldn't sit still for a second. I stood up quickly and made my way towards the nursery. I know my kits and Duskcloud would keep my mind busy for a while.
Everything seemed to be normal in camp. Everyone seemed so relaxed. I couldn't understand that. I poked my head in the nursery and saw Palestone with her kits asleep. Whiteheart was also curled up protectively around her kits. Duskcloud was grooming Fogkit, while Swampkit was lazily flicking his tail and lying on his side. His head rose when he saw me though.
Fogkit turned around to face me and tried to escape Duskcloud's tongue. I padded closer and sat beside the nest, nudging Swampkit gently and licking the top of Fogkit's head. I barely have enough time to visit them, and when I do, it's always a short visit. I touched my nose to Duskcloud's and nuzzled her softly, a purr emitted from her throat.
"I can tell you're nervous," she murmured quietly and licked my cheek. "I seem to be the only one," I let out a small chuckle and smiled slightly. Fogkit and Swampkit were batting at each other's tails and play-fighting near the entrance of the den, trying not to bother the others that were asleep.
"Trust me, we're all nervous, you just show it more than everyone else," Duskcloud teased and nuzzled the side of my neck. I purred quietly and shook my head with a smile. Duskcloud looked towards our kits and let out a small sigh. "I'm nervous for their safety," I mumbled and looked at her again.
"I am too," she sighed and stood up, shaking out her pelt. "Let's go outside," she walked over to them. If the others in the nursery were awake, Fogkit and Swampkit would've probably squealed in excitement. They've been out of the nursery before, but they were restless and didn't like being cooped up in the nursery for a long time.
…
I sat beside Duskcloud, watching as our kits ran around bothering the warriors still in camp. I let out a chuckle as Glacierstone chased them around playfully, causing them to laugh. I glanced up towards the sky. The patrol should be back shortly.
I cleared my throat silently, quietly pleading that everything would end up okay. Maybe Shadestone was right. When Fang is involved, nobody is safe.
…
Fang's POV
The one thing I noticed as we made our way past the Frost Forest and to the Abandoned Thunderpath was that the patrol wasn't surrounding us. I stayed close to Snow, keeping my gaze on those in front of us. They stopped momentarily by the Thunderpath; the Hailclan cats glanced mournfully behind their shoulders at the territory.
Snow had closed her eyes, taking in a deep breath, taking in the scents of the icy territory. The Fogclan cats quickly crossed the path, the rest following them shortly. I nudged Snow softly and walked across with her by my side.
"Stonepaw, Echopaw, Leopardpaw; you three run ahead and tell the leader's that we will arrive shortly," Shadestone said. I flicked my ear and watched as the apprentices quickly trotted ahead of us. Shadestone walked beside Flowerpool, constantly looking back at us. Or looking at me at least.
The rest of my siblings were in the clans. Them being Flowerpool, Palestone, and Duskcloud. I'm sure they kept it a secret. That's what made me mad. They killed Smoke, the brother they always preferred. My ears went flat when Flowerpool looked at me. I don't see myself talking to them anytime soon.
I was brought out of my thoughts as we went deeper into the forest. We walked in a completely different direction than where the den used to be. I already began imagining what would happen once we arrive. Most of which involve this being a trap.
The forest already was drowned in the scent of the clan. Surprisingly though, I didn't feel the blindness trying to escape. Was it possible that I could somewhat control it? I didn't think too hard on it. Two from the patrol went off in a different direction, most likely to hunt. There was barely any talking among us, only small murmurs every once in a while.
"I get the feeling that they're being forced to do this," I murmured in Snow's ear and glanced at the patrol in front of us. Some of them flicked their ears and I heard scoffing. I held in a smirk and licked Snow's cheek. She nuzzled the side of my neck and let out a sigh.
…
"We're here," Shadestone said and led us through the same way I came in when they attacked Smoke. My eyes narrowed slightly and I took in a deep breath. Snow nudged me forward slightly and smiled. I smiled back slightly and walked through the entrance. My gaze flickered around, taking in simply the size of the camp.
My gaze finally settled on Icestar and Toadstar. "Greetings, Fang and Snow," Icestar spoke up first, her gaze on Snow. The rest of the clan were standing behind them, actually looking scared this time. "I want to know why you suddenly want us here," I couldn't stop myself from asking.
"We'll explain once you two are settled in," Toadstar spoke and glanced at those behind him. "Snowstrike needs to be in the nursery," Leafstone said from the entrance of her den. Everyone was quiet after she said that.
Toadstar managed to find his voice first. "Very well, Rainpaw and Dovepaw, go make a nest for her," he said. The two apprentices stood still for a few moments before walking away to do what they were ordered.
I noticed that Snow was staring in the direction the apprentices had run off to. I followed her gaze and saw Bluestorm sitting beside a she-cat. Snow's brother stood up, nuzzled the she-cat, and began walking over to us. Snow flattened her ears. Icestar dismissed the clan and followed Toadstar to the big tree.
Before Bluestorm could make it to us, the two apprentices ran up to us. "The nest is ready Snowstrike," the tom spoke and smiled at Snow. "It's good to see you again," Snow said and nosed the tom's head. He chuckled and looked around before running off. We padded to the nursery, Snow walked in first.
I saw my other two sister's there. Both of which had kits. Palestone's eyes narrowed almost immediately and Duskcloud looked at me wearily. Palestone curled her tail around her kits and looked away. I held in a growl and instead faked a smile. "My, my, what a wonderful family reunion isn't it?" I scoffed. Palestone let out a small hiss and Duskcloud cleared her throat.
I shook my head and walked to the back of the den where Snow was already laying in a nest. The kits that were in here were all staring at me with wide, curious eyes. I sat behind Snow and looked towards the entrance to the den.
It took a long time for us to get here, it was nearly dusk. "Go to sleep, I'll stay awake for a little longer," I murmured to Snow. She reached up and licked my cheek before lying down, curling up in front of me. I smiled down at her for a while. I lifted my gaze and saw the she-cat from earlier looking towards us. She seemed familiar; I've definitely seen her before.
I flicked my ear and held my gaze to her. She turned her head down, licking each of her kits, and layed her head down on the ground. I let out a small sigh and looked towards the entrance to the den.
…
I exited the den to get something to eat. Like I expected, everyone avoided me. Except for some of the apprentices. I swiftly ate the rest of the mouse I had chosen and stretched. One more patrol left camp and I finally stood up. I went back to the nursery, since I didn't expect the warriors to be excited on sharing a den with me.
As I walked past Duskcloud's nest, I jumped slightly when she lifted her head. "Welcome home," she murmured. I couldn't stop the bitter chuckle from escaping me. "Are you serious?" I said and stared at her.
"What do you think?" she said and licked her paw. "What do I think? I think," I stepped closer and narrowed my eyes, "that this isn't my home. I think that this is the place where our brother was brutally attacked by your clan."
Her eyes narrowed slightly. I stepped back and raised my head. "That's what I think," I said and walked past her and to Snow. I quickly curled up beside her and closed my eyes, shutting out Duskcloud.
If she thinks she could make everything up in the short time I'll be here, then I just have to push her away farther.
