"Are you serious about this?" Featherstar mewed, Her voice was filled with anxiety. None of her warriors were strong enough to fight an entire group of rogues. Many cats shuffled around as they were trying to figure out what to do next. There was no time to get help as the temperature dropped for the night. The cats knew that they needed to do something quick to make sure Briarstar doesn't attack the clans again. However there was no time to think correctly so Featherstar came to one conclusion. "You're more than welcome to stay but first thing tomorrow, we plan on how we will get these rogues out of the clans so Ravenstar doesn't get attacked next. Get some sleep; you will need it for tomorrow." Featherstar turned and padded away as the cats were staring with shock. Rogues attacking the clans this time of the season was insane, but they knew they had to band together to fight off the rogues to keep the clans from collapsing to their rule.
Tawnyfoot padded her way to the warriors den as Crowstorm and Snowstorm were waiting. They both would like to speak to her. Crowstorm looked with a speechless expression while Snowstorm had a serious growl like look to the warrior.
"So we're you talking to those rogues?" Snowstorm mewed wanting to test Tawnyfoot's loyalty.
"What rogues? I don't know these rogues. I was spending most of my time over in Shadowclan with their warriors as we were talking." Tawnyfoot began. She knew she had to be open yet truthful about what she was saying. She knew that her loyalty was being tested.
"Shadowclan you might ask?" Snowstorm mewed as his hostility lessened. "With Pebblestar I presume, I bet you wanted to check up with some old friends of yours. So I'm going to ask you this one question and I want you to answer it honestly. While you were on your way to Shadowclan, did you get attacked by any rogues?" Tawnyfoot began to think to when she was nearly attacked while she was going to visit Robinflight.
"Nearly. I was on my way to the Shadowclan border when this tom with leaf green eyes attacked me. When I turned around, he must've got scared and scampered off." Tawnyfoot mewed telling him her experience. Snowstorm was thinking when he heard the expression Leaf green eyes as he was thinking about any cats that had that eye color, soon he remembered a cat that had the eyes and who used to be part of the clan.
"Was that cat Yewberry?" Snowstorm tried to guess to see if Tawnyfoot was right. To his surprise, he was right.
"Yes it was." Tawnyfoot responded. "I must have scared him off before he did anything."
"Yes you're not as small as you used to be when you were an apprentice so he was able to take advantage of you, and now since your as almost as big as me, there is no way a cat his size would be able to get a grip on you. Plus you smoothed out a lot so you do look beautiful for a she-cat and it won't be long until the toms will start following you. Keep that in mind." Snowstorm responded as he padded away. Crowstorm and Tawnyfoot followed him in.
The next morning, the cats were all waking up as Featherstar went to go plan with Skyclan about what would happen if the rogues definitely attacked them while the cats were going about with their business. Snowstorm padded up to Tawnyfoot who was busy catching some of the suns warmth.
"I decided to think about what you said last night and I have an assignment for you. Head to Shadowclan to ask for a few of their warriors so they can help us prepare the defense, we don't know how many rogues were fighting or what their strength is. But I want you to move quickly so we don't get attacked while you're out with those cats." Snowstorm outlined the directions for her as he made sure she knew what was going on. Tawnyfoot nodded her head as she took off.
"How long will she be?" Crowstorm asked. He was nervous about his former apprentice.
"It depends." Snowstorm responded. "I hope she doesn't get attacked while she's gone."
"Let's pray to Starclan for her safety." Crowstorm mewed.
Because of Tawnyfoot's speed, she reached the border of Shadowclan as she called out to the first patrol she found. The Shadowclan cats looked up at her as they were puzzled at what she wanted.
"Hello?" Tawnyfoot called out, the cats looked up at her as they quickly climbed the ridge. Pebblestar, Falconwing, Robinflight and Finchpaw were in the patrol.
"Tawnyfoot, what are you doing here?" Robinflight mewed.
"It's urgent, Skyclan was attacked by rogues last night and we need some extra cats to help us in case they come to Thunderclan next." Tawnyfoot mewed. She was being serious about what she said.
"You have our word, come on let's help Thunderclan out." Pebblestar mewed as he began to lead all the cats to the Thunderclan camp. However things were going into turmoil.
When they reached the Thunderclan camp, cats were hissing from within. It was clear the rogues got there before them.
"We must help them out, they are in bad shape." Tawnyfoot mewed as she entered.
"We don't know that for sure." Falconwing responded as he entered after her.
"Shadowclan patrol, attack!" Pebblestar shouted as he entered after the deputy.
"Remember what we've been training for Finchpaw, good luck." Robinflight mewed to his apprentice as they both entered the camp.
The fight was spinning far from organized as the Thunderclan and Skyclan cats were tangling with Briarstar, her loyal followers, Rosepetal, Yewberry and the rogues they picked up. Despite their combined strength, they were still outnumbered two to one.
Robinflight tackled Rosepetal as he hissed at the half blind She-cat as he sunk his teeth into her scruff. Tawnyfoot was busy fighting a rogue as her claws raked across the ear. The rogue hissed as it soon retreated as she looked over to see Robinflight biting her former clan-mate hard.
"Wow Robinflight is a powerful biter." Tawnyfoot muttered to herself. Soon another cat was sneaking up on her. Crowstorm spun around as he spotted the cat sneaking up on her.
"Tawnyfoot look out!" Crowstorm shouted as Tawnyfoot turned. A yellow cat with Leaf green eyes attacked her. She raised one of her paws and kicked the cat away from her before he could hit the target. The cat looked up seeing Tawnyfoot towering over him.
"Oh it's you I wished when you became a warrior, you were to become my mate and we could have more kits together." The cat mewed. The cat turned out to be Yewberry as nothing changed about him as he wanted to have more kits with the giant she-cat.
"I'm not having any more of your kits Yewberry!" Tawnyfoot shouted. She was in rage when he got her to have his kits while she was just an apprentice. Now the tables have turned. Yewberry leaped at her again as she quickly moved to the side and then she bashed him with her head in a swift motion. Yewberry fell over.
Yewberry got up again as he was ready to lunge at her again. He leaped but Robinflight quickly got him off guard as his claws dug deep into his side. He soon bit around his tail as he began to chew on it as Yewberry yowled in pain. Soon another cat leaped up to try to get Tawnyfoot but she ducked. The cat lost its balance as leaped up as she began to tackle it to the ground. Both cats rolled and hissed as they were desperately trying to draw as much blood as possible and to her surprise, the attacking cat was Briarstar.
Featherstar saw the two cats fighting and she knew she had to do something quickly. She, Snowstorm and Crowstorm ran over to assist her. They soon began to attack Briarstar to make sure Tawnyfoot caught a break. Despite being outnumbered, most of the rogues they were fighting were poorly trained and they began to melt away from the camp one by one. Briarstar fought desperately trying to make sure she escapes with her group but Crowstorm and Snowstorm leaped onto her as they raked their claws over her eyes. Briarstar cried as blood gushed from both of her eyes. The rest of the cats retreated as the clan looked over in the torment.
"We weren't expecting this to happen." Pineshade mewed,
"Yeah why were the rogues going to attack us in the first place?" Berrytail asked.
"Probably for revenge after Tawnyfoot drove them out moons before." Crowstorm responded.
"She was only an apprentice and she was expecting kits when that happened, she still managed to throw some of it around to help us repel the attack." Falconwing mewed.
"Not only that but we got one of them." Robinflight mewed. He chucked down the limp body of one of the old Windclan cats that was loyal to Briarstar. The cats were horrified.
"Who did such a thing? Falconwing asked as he looked at the dead cat.
"I'm sorry it was my fault, I didn't realize my own strength." Featherstar responded.
"Oh and we have two not one." Tulipleaf mewed. She turned to see Briarstar as blood was still seeping from her eyes.
"What should we do about her for the time being?" Featherstar asked.
"We'll keep her here but she is no longer the leader." Snowstorm mewed.
"Fair enough, without her sight, she can't sneak off right?" Tulipleaf asked.
"I believe so." Featherstar mewed. "The words of Starclan has taken out a cruel and miserable leader, your nine lives will be stripped away from you and you will have one life like all the other cats. And your name will be from Briarstar to Brokentail. We hope you don't do any funny business as we will keep you contained into this camp for the kits to play around with you." All the cats walked away as Shadowclan was preparing to leave.
"It was an honor to have us fight side by side with you. But we must be heading back now." Pebblestar mewed. He flicked his tail waving farewell to Tawnyfoot.
"I'll see you at the next gathering my little Tawny." Robinflight mewed as he smiled at her.
"When is that?" Tawnyfoot asked as she wanted to know when it was.
"The moon will be at its fullest the night after now. I hope to see you then but for now, I have to train Finchpaw." Robinflight smiled as he bounded away. Featherstar padded up to her.
"What did he say?" Featherstar asked. Her eyes were curious about what the warrior said.
"He said it was going to be the next night after now." Tawnyfoot mewed.
"What are you talking about?" Featherstar asked as she wanted more evidence on what she was saying.
"The gathering." Tawnyfoot answered her as she looked up. Featherstar now understanding what her warrior was going to say decided to mew.
"Than that means I have to choose warriors for the gathering, you did fight well today so go on a patrol with some of the cats." Featherstar bounded away as the cats were organizing the patrols. Tawnyfoot sighed as she was still thinking about that warrior that helped her fight Briarstar today.
[A/N]: That is crazy. Tawnyfoot is still planting the seeds for a relationship. The rogue group lost their leader and the gathering will be in the next chapter. So do you think Yewberry should lose his tail or no because Robinflight mauled it in the battle. Also who is a good replacement for Briarstar now that she has been captured and renamed Brokentail. Also should Tawnyfoot have more kits? Everything is up to the reader to decide as I want more reviews for this story and we need 1000 views for this month alone since I feel like it needs to be more popular than that. Have a good day my readers. Cheers.
