Two people (Littlewhisker and Mistystream Longtail's Loyalty) requested that I do this chapter from Brambleclaw's POV, so I will. Next chapter will probably be from Leafpool's. I hope you enjoy!

Chapter 5
Brambleclaw was dreaming. He had to be. It was only possible to be in the old Thunderclan territory if he was dreaming.
Oh, no. He groaned inwardly. What will Tigerstar and Hawkfrost say? They'll probably say that I broke their trust by going back to Squirrelflight. Graystripe's also coming back. Tigerstar's bound to know and he hates Graystripe. They wanted me to be deputy instead of him…
He slowly walked into the old territory and laid down in the middle of the clearing. Suddenly, he saw a tabby tom approaching. This tom looked just like Brambleclaw except he had ice blue eyes. Hawkfrost sat down next to Brambleclaw.
"How's the prey running?" Hawkfrost asked, "Are you any closer to getting an apprentice?"
"Ummm…" Brambleclaw mumbled.
"I don't think Brambleclaw will become deputy without killing." Tigerstar hissed, coming up stealthily behind his two sons.
Hawkfrost and Brambleclaw jumped in fright.
"What do you mean?" Hawkfrost asked confusedly, "Everyone knows Graystripe isn't coming back. Are you saying Firestar chose someone else to be deputy?"
"That idiot Graystripe is coming back, with Ravenpaw and barley!" Tigerstar spat. "But that's not the worst news is it, Brambleclaw?"
"Ummm…" Brambleclaw mumbled a second time.
"What are you talking about, father?" Hawkfrost asked, tilting his head to the side questioningly.
"He's gone back to that traitor Firestar's brat!" Tigerstar said, nearly screaming at Brmableclaw.
"But Brambleclaw wouldn't do that!" Hawkfrost said, automatically defending his step brother, "would you?"
"Well he has!" Tigerstar spat.
"No! He wouldn't betray us!" Hawkfrost stated loyally, "I know, he did it to gain Firestar's trust!"
"Hmmm…" Tigerstar said, thinking, and then decided to trust Hawkfrost's judgement, "Good thinking, Brambleclaw! Now I must go back to training the two of you."
For a second, Brambleclaw thought he heard a rustling in the bushes. He turned around and saw two wide, amber eyes staring back at him.
"Did you see anything Brambleclaw?" Tigerstar hissed quietly.
"No, father." Brambleclaw answered.
"Then pay attention to what I'm trying to teach you!" Tigerstar spat angrily.
Brambleclaw heard another rustle and then the eyes disappeared.
That was my fifth chapter. What do you think? Please Review! The next chapter will be from Leafpool's POV, btw.
