Yeah I need to clear something up. I did not give the reason on why I made Flowerpaw fall off the cliff. I made her fall off so that I could get in some BadgerxFlower. So that chapter was for all you Badgerface fans!
Chapter 7: Pain and a Nice Surprise
A cold wind blew into the cave and woke up Flowerpaw. Flowerpaw stood up and smiled, ready to start the day. But when she set down her back left leg, pain as fierce as lightning shot up her leg. Flowerpaw let out a cry of pain and almost immediately, Pigeontalon rushed in, her fluffy dark gray fur bushed out in alarm.
"Flowerpaw! Oh you're awake!" Pigeontalon began nuzzling her daughters head. "Your father and I were beginning to think you would never wake up!"
Flowerpaw backed up in alarm, but managed to keep her injured leg off the ground.
"What do you mean? And why does my leg hurt?"
"You fell off the cliff and broke your leg. Sandclaw said you were lucky enough to have survived the fall."
Flowerpaw looked at her leg to see it bounded in cobwebs with two sticks on both sides. She then looked at Pigeontalon with sadness glowing in her bright green eyes.
"What about my training?"
"You can't do any training until your leg is healed. I'm sorry this had to happen to you."
Pigeontalon licked her daughters ears, when Flowerpaw remembered something that her mother mentioned earlier.
"You said that you and Stormtail were beginning to think I would never wake up... How long was I asleep?"
Pigeontalon visibly stiffened and clenched her teeth.
"You have been asleep for four days."
Flowerpaw widened her eyes with shock. She slowly backed away.
"No. This can't be happening to me!"
"I'm sorry. But please understand that you have to rest if you want to continue your training."
"I don't want to rest! I want to be training alongside Jaypaw and Robinpaw! I don't want to be in this cave!"
By the time Flowerpaw finished her rant, Sandclaw had come into the cave to see what's wrong.
"Whats going on here?" Sandclaw asked.
"I don't want to be in this cave! I want to be out training!"
Sandclaw's single amber eye glittered with sadness.
"I can't do anything else to help your leg heal, except give you exercises when your leg can handle it. Now, I want you to go to your nest and rest so that your will heal." He then turned to Pigeontalon. "I need to speak you."
They both left the cave and padded up the trail that led to the Skyrock and sat down.
"I need to tell you something about Flowerpaw." Sandclaw mewed to Pigeontalon.
"What is it?"
"I didn't want to tell you this, but Leafstar told me that I have to. Flowerpaw might not become a warrior because of her injury."
"Have you told Stormtail?"
Sandclaw nodded his pale brown head.
"I told him yesterday after he got back from the dusk patrol." He wrapped his tail around his paws. "I even told Robinpaw and Jaypaw when they were done with their training yesterday."
"What about Flowerpaw? Have you told her?"
"She needs to find that out on her own. If I tell her now, she will most likely give up on ever recovering and being a warrior."
"Bu-"
An alarmed yowl sounded below the two cats on the Skyrock. They jumped up and raced down the trail just in time to see a young black tom with white specks in his fur and blue eyes. Leafstar and Emberheart stood in front of the young tom. Emberheart glared at the tom, her pale blue eyes sparking with suspicion. Leafstar padded forward to speak with the tom.
"Who are you? And what do you want?"
The tom looked at all the looking at him and shook out his fur.
"My name is Blackbird and I wish to join the clan."
Authors Note:
Sorry, I've had a lot of stuff going on with my life so I wasn't able to write this chapter for a while. And i'm planning for the other chapters to longer then the last three that I've posted. I just got a Facebook! I am known as Leaf Frost on there and you can ask me questions on there if you can't on Fanfiction.
P.S. Please review!
