I put a time skip in here. So we'll say it has been about 5 moons since Bluepaw woke up. Violetpaw got her warrior name since she has finished her warrior training. Her clan should be coming by now. They should've already done that...I'll let you figure out what happens next. It would've been better, but my Chromebook deleted the chapter so here is the rewritten version of it.
Chapter two: home
I was patrolling with Shadowpaw and Violetpetal when Crowstar came to the border with Littlecloud, Whitestreak, Spikefur, Sparrowtail, and Mistcloud along with Brightpaw and Tulippaw. Violetpaw told me who was on the patrol. Berrynose, Blossomfall, and Dovewing stepped up to the border and dipped their heads respectfully. Shadowpaw sat next to me behind her mentor. Violetpaw sat between the both of us to let us know what was going on. "Greetings, Crowstar." Berrynose greeted with a respectful yet wary dip of his head. Crowstar stepped up to the border and returned the greeting. "Berrynose. I need to speak with your leader." Berrynose stepped back and allowed the Shadowclan patrol to cross over. "Bluepaw, Berrynose and the others are surrounding the Thunderclan patrol. I have to run ahead and let Squirrelstar know. Shadowpaw and Blossomfall will be right here with you." I nodded and Shadowpaw pressed her side against mine as Blossomfall grazed her tail over my back.
"Bluepaw, is that really you?" I twitched my ear towards the voice. It sounds like Tulippaw and I can hear Brightpaw behind me. I can't be for sure. Blossomfall nudged my sisters back from me. "Get back to your mentors, you two." The two she-cats dropped back. No doubt telling the other Shadowclan warriors what they found out. Wait, What? When did I start thinking of them as Shadowclan? They are my clanmates and my family. Even if they waited for moons to come get me.
When we arrived back at camp, Berrynose murmured in Blossomfall's ear. She turned to us. "Shadowpaw, Bluepaw, I need you to go inside and sit by Highrock, alright." I nodded. I knew better by now than to disobey my mentor. Shadowpaw described where the tunnel was and we both carefully picked our way through. I felt the thorns tug satisfyingly at my fur and we followed Violetpetal's scent over to where Highrock was. "There you two are!" Violetpaw exclaimed. "Squirrelstar sent Twigpaw to get Lionblaze. Jayfeather and Alderheart were already seated by Squirrelstar. Lionblaze came thundering in with Twigpaw. He flicked my ear as he walked by and sat down next to me.
"Crowstar, what do you want?" Squirrelstar asked. I could almost imagine Crowstar flaring his nostrils at her. "I've come for two apprentices of mine, Squirrelstar." Squirrelstar rolled her eyes and put a protective paw in front of Violetpetal and me. "Why do you want them now? I've considered them as Thunderclan apprentices since their own clan has wasted six moons to come back for them. And one of them has earned her warrior name." Violetpetal let out a small giggle which Lionblaze silenced her with a look. She whispered in Shadowpaw's and my ear that Crowstar looked really flustered. I stifled the giggle that rose in my throat. "I was busy with other problems, but they need to come home." Crowstar established firmly. Lionblaze gently nudged us up to stand next to Squirrelstar. "I will hand them back to you, Crowstar, but be warned. They are free to come home to Thunderclan if that is their wish." Crowstar nodded in agreement and beckoned us forward. "It is a straight shot, Bluepaw. You'll be fine." Lionblaze said calmly. I dipped my head to him in gratitude and carefully walked forward with Violetpetal.
Shadowpaw followed with Shadekit and Swiftkit. She nuzzled us both and whispered a goodbye. I licked her head fondly before drawing back. Shadekit and Swiftkit pressed their paws agaisnt my face and I leaned down to ther eye level. "You be good for Firespirit. I'll miss you two." The two kits licked my nose and said goodbye before going to tell Violetpetal goodbye. Twigleaf came up and the two sisters brushed muzzles before separating. Alderheart came up and flicked my ear with his tail. "You be careful and don't try tackling foxes on your own." I purred and then grew somber. "I'll miss you, Alderheart. You became like a brother to me. Too often have you reminded me of Cloudpaw. But you've never answered my question. What do I look like now?"
He fumbled for a few heartbeats before calming down. "You are a very pretty silver color. Your eyes are blue. The scars are the only mark marring your pretty image. If I wasn't a medicine cat and we were in the same clan, I would have liked you more than a friend, but I'll have to stick with friends." I smiled and purred in thanks before touching noses with him. "May Starclan light your path," I murmured. He purred fondly before stepping back to let me go with my birth clan. Several cats hissed in disdain when they saw us saying goodbye. But what can they do. Alderheart has helped me through a lot. He and Shadowpaw have been my best friends along with Violetpetal and they showed me that I can be normal. I turned to follow my best friend and my clanmates, walking independently despite my blindness.
This will be the final chapter. Cliffhanger, I know. However, you can daydream or PM me all the scenarios you think will happen next and maybe I'll go back once the challenge has closed and edit it.
