Daisyflower woke up the next morning as she yawned. Stretching her front legs, she was taking up much of the warriors den because of her big frame. She exited the den first as she sniffed the foggy air. Fog had gathered on the lower part of the mountains and it was nearly blinding. Fortunately the fog wasn't as bad up in the higher reaches of Thunderclan territory but it was still a lot. Little did they know this would be the opening for an attack?
Tawnypaw soon got out of the den as she had a rough night in the apprentice's den. She was feeling very uncomfortable in the moss nest with three other apprentices. She padded out as the fog was light from the camp. It was clear that the fog had rolled in. Tawnypaw padded up to the fresh kill pile with Daisyflower waiting.
"You might need to eat this. It will fill you up." Daisyflower mewed as she tossed a Goat kit at Tawnypaw. She looked at Daisyflower as she was crazy. "Eat up." Tawnypaw gulped as she ate the goat kit, it was a lot tastier than before as she began to eat it a lot more greedily. "I didn't know you were that hungry."
"I know I feel hungrier than before, I am draining the fresh kill pile." Tawnypaw mewed. She felt like she couldn't move around that much with the kits squirming to life and with a full belly. She toppled down to her side as she didn't feel that good.
"Oh you don't feel so well." Daisyflower mewed. The large she cat began to rub a sheathed paw over the apprentice as Tawnypaw was fidgeting uncomfortably. Snowstorm got out smelling a sweet scent coming from Daisyflower. He turned around to see her rough up the apprentice.
"Daisyflower I smell something off about you today, can you please go take care of it, the other toms will go wild if I don't get rid of it." Snowstorm mewed.
"Yeah your right." Daistyflower admitted as she felt it. She began scratching herself around as Snowstorm dragged Tawnypaw away from the messy she-cat. Snowstorm was taking her into the Medicine cat's den for a checkup. Once inside, she was greeted with a warm tongue of Shadowstep.
"So what brings you in here you plucky apprentice?" Shadowstep mewed as he had a smirk look on his muzzle.
"She might have another bellyache again." Snowstorm mewed.
"Tell her to stop eating so much so quickly, it's probably causing her the most pain and she is looking like she would belong into the Nursery." Shadowstep mewed. He soon got his Watermint and Juniper berries out as he was ready to treat her. "I would like to speak to her mentor later when he gets back from the hunt."
"Much appreciated." Snowstorm responded as he soon left the den to organize a patrol.
Daisyflower was trying to take care of the itch she had when Yewberry padded up to her suddenly from behind. He began to sniff her.
"Are you here to take care of this itch?" Daisyflower mewed. She was scraping against the field at this point.
"You're correct; I could smell you from several fox lengths away." Yewberry mewed licking the she-cat's ear.
"Well at least I do have a cat that takes care of me." Daisyflower mewed.
"This will be all over." Yewberry mewed as he got on top of her.
At the Nursery, Tawnypaw entered through the narrow entrance but she was barely able to fit as a result. Frostcloud was waiting for her inside.
"Oh Tawnypaw, what brings you here?" Frostcloud mewed. Her voice was warm with the heat of the Nursery. She looked at Tawnypaw who was busy coming up with a response.
"Shadowstep sent me here." Tawnypaw mewed.
"Yeah you're right; you look like you got a litter in there." Frostcloud mewed. Tawnypaw shook a bit as she was feeling uncomfortable. She soon laid down into a moss nest as she was barely able to fit.
"What will happen with my skills as an apprentice?" Tawnypaw mewed as she was worried her chances of being a warrior were in danger.
"You will be a warrior I promise but it may take a little while longer and you must be strong enough for you and your kits to make it. Not many apprentices or their kits live while kitting." Frostcloud mewed as she laid herself onto Tawnypaw. Tawnypaw felt some warmth from the She-cat as she finally closed her eyes and fell asleep.
The fog was beginning to clear up while most of the clan was wondering where Crowstorm and his hunting party went. Rowanstar waited impatiently for him and his party's return. Soon he spotted a familiar cat padding back with the hunting party. It was Crowstorm but he and the party were battered and beaten. However they weren't alone. Many more cats were following them as they were also beaten hard. A second leader was soon behind them as she was brutally beaten. The sun was setting as the shadows were flashed all over. Soon Rowanstar was able to make out the shapes of the cats that were with them.
"Crowstorm what happened? Why were you gone for so long?" Rowanstar mewed worried.
"We were attacked Rowanstar. Crowstorm and the Hunting party came to assist but it was completely futile. We were driven off our own territory by Windclan and Skyclan." Ravenstar mewed. "Riverclan is now without a home."
"So Windclan did violate the agreement. Briarstar deserves to be punished!" Rowanstar boomed as he was super angry that Briarstar had violated the rules of the agreement.
"Briarstar soon took the rest of Riverclan territory and we were forced to retreat." Doeflight mewed as she huddled around her two kits, Sandkit and Fernkit.
"Any warriors lost?" Rowanstar mewed as he was nervous wondering who was killed in the fight.
"None of us from either side were killed, Rosepetal went missing however." Crowstorm mewed.
"I would like to organize the search parties for tomorrow morning. For now though I would like to talk to Ravenstar about what happened. All Riverclan cats make yourselves a home." Rowanstar mewed. He soon went off with Ravenstar to speak with her when Snowstorm padded up to Crowstorm.
"What is it Snowstorm?" Crowstorm mewed confused.
"Shadowstep would like to speak with you in the medicine cat's den. It has to do something with your apprentice." Snowstorm responded. He soon saw that Crowstorm had taken several nasty scratches on his side. "And that too." Crowstorm padded off as he soon went into the Medicine cat's den where he saw Shadowstep and Berryshine treating many wounded cats from the fight. Crowstorm soon lay down to have his wounds treated.
"I've been waiting to talk with you all day but you never came from the hunt you went on, and your wounds are proof you walked into a very deep trouble." Shadowstep mewed as he began to apply some chewed herbs to Crowstorm's wounds.
"Windclan, Skyclan and Riverclan got into a fight and we had to assist them. Riverclan was driven out of their territory as a result." Crowstorm mewed.
"We would have been dead if it wasn't for Crowstorm and his hunting party. We were very thankful to have him." Berryshine mewed as she treated another cat's wounds.
"Crowstorm what I would like to talk to you about is your apprentice. She can't continue her training." Shadowstep mewed as he stared into his eyes.
"What's wrong with her? Is she dying?" Crowstorm mewed.
"She is not dying but we have to put her into the Nursery since she is getting close to kitting at this point." Shadowstep mewed.
"So what is going to happen to her?" Crowstorm mewed worried.
"She is going to be fine but she will be out of training for a while. You don't want to harm her kits right?" Shadowstep mewed.
"Yes I don't want to harm them but I want to see her become a graceful warrior like me." Crowstorm honestly responded.
"I understand but somethings will have to be put on hold." Shadowstep responded. "Also what happened to Rosepetal?"
"She said she was going to hold off Windclan while we escaped. So I went into the distance and watched and she began talking to Briarstar about driving out Riverclan and she says Shadowclan will be next. Skyclan warriors knew that Shadowclan won't stand a chance if they didn't dig deep enough into the soil to hide and then she left with Windclan as she had pride on her muzzle." Crowstorm mewed. "So I ran to catch up."
"So Rosepetal betrayed us then?" Shadowstep mewed. "I will speak with Rowanstar at once when I'm done."
"Good." Crowstorm mewed.
Night time came and all the cats were asleep except for Yewberry and Daisyflower who spent the afternoon together showing their affections. Rosepetal soon padded up to them as she was waiting for the two warriors.
"So did it work?" Yewberry asked.
"Yes, Riverclan has been driven out. Shadowclan will be next if they don't comply. I smell that Riverclan has taken shelter here. Rowanstar isn't following the rules of the clans." Rosepetal mewed.
"What happens when we take over all of the clans?" Yewberry mewed.
"You will have all the she-cats you want to be your mate." Rosepetal mewed as she snickered. "Including me, I would like to see you alone." Rosepetal turned as she padded with her tail up high. Yewberry couldn't resist and he followed. Daisyflower soon padded into camp to get some rest.
For the rest of the night was the yowling of Rosepetal and Yewberry as they were being very loud and this would have an impact on all of the cats in Thunderclan camp, no cat was going to sleep well.
[A/N]: Sorry for the lack of updates this week, I had a lot to do with history work and I didn't have the energy to type out this chapter for you until now. What do you think Rosepetal is hiding that Rowanstar doesn't know about? And Yewberry is practically going insane at this point since he is going to be offered all the She-cats that he wants. He's so spoiled. Keep reading to find out about this and will Rosepetal get caught. Cheers.
