Chapter 13
"We have her!" Birchfur heard Cedarheart call.
He turned his head slightly and saw ginger fur lying in between Cedarheart and Rowanclaw. Russetfur stopped the fight with him and raced over to Littlewhisker's body. Russetfur grabbed her scruff and started dragging her out of the ThunderClan camp.
Birchfur was about to leap on Russetfur when a large white tom with solid black paws jumped on him. "Blackstar, why do you want Littlewhisker?" he hissed.
"So you didn't realize it, yet?" Blackstar hissed delightfully. "The attack was to see how you fought and she was the best. ThunderClan will be nothing without her! And if you try to come for her, we'll kill her! ShadowClan retreat!"
Blackstar stayed on Birchfur until every ShadowClan cats were out of the camp. "We'll get her back, Blackstar," Birchfur growled as the ShadowClan's leader tail disappeared in the thorn entrance.
"Where's Littlewhisker?" Stormpaw asked her brother panting with her flanks bleeding.
Birchfur put his head down and shook his head. Stormpaw started to stumble so he pressed against her to help her. "You need to go see Cinderpelt or Leafpool," he told his sister.
"No, I'm fine. It's just…it's just I can't believe that she's gone. She always puts up a fight." Stormpaw stared at her brother in disbelief.
"You need to go. You're bleeding badly. Go," he ordered Stormpaw. She obeyed him reluctantly.
Brackenfur limped over to Birchfur obviously hear his and Stormpaw's conversation. "Maybe you should come and see them, too," he suggested.
Birchfur shook his head. "No, I want to tell Firestar as soon as he gets back and he should be getting back soon."
Brackenfur just gave him a look of sympathy and nodded. Birchfur began pacing back and forth ignoring the pain of his wounds. Once Brackenfur and Stormpaw were patched up Stormpaw got upset about Littlewhisker while Brackenfur tried to calm her down.
Firestar had arrived, saw Birchfur and asked him what happened, but he didn't hear him. "Birchfur what happened? Did ShadowClan attack?" Firestar repeated.
Birchfur looked up from the ground and meowed, "ShadowClan attacked and…"
"And what?" Sandstorm asked stepping up beside her mate.
"And…they took Littlewhisker as they left," Birchfur murmured looking at Firestar. His eyes were shocked.
Graystripe gasped, "StarClan, no!"
"What's Squirrelflight going to think?" Sandstorm muttered looking at Firestar.
"How did this happen?" Firestar asked looking into Birchfur's eyes.
"We're not sure. She had gone to talk to Leafpool like she usually does and then ShadowClan attacked. She and Leafpool joined in the fight. We were outnumbered, but I always thought of Littlewhisker as a fighter. I'm not sure how it happened. I tried to stop them from taking her, but then Blackstar attacked me," Birchfur explained. "He told me that his warriors attacked us on the border so he knew how well we fought. He said that Littlewhisker was the best; that's why they took her. But we can't rescue her because Blackstar said that if we tried to rescue her he would kill her."
"So you two were right; he did want information," Firestar meowed. "Thank you, Birchfur. You did the best you could and that is all that matters. Go get Leafpool to look at your wounds."
Leafpool rushed over to Firestar before Birchfur had a chance to move. "Firestar, there's something I need to tell you," Leafpool meowed urgently.
"What is it?" Firestar asked.
"There is a prophecy," Leafpool began. "'The sun will shine until it meets the shadows. But the thunder will bring shining as bright as ever.'"
"When did you get it?" Firestar asked.
"Actually StarClan sent the first part to Littlewhisker a few nights ago, but I got the other half last night," Leafpool explained.
"Have you figured it out yet?" Firestar asked. He signaled with his tail for Sandstorm and Graystripe to take their fresh-kill to the pile.
"Well, Littlewhisker thought of a few parts of this and that's how I figured out that the prophecy is about her," Leafpool meowed.
"So what are you saying?" Firestar asked.
"The 'sun' is Littlewhisker! She gave the suggestion that 'shadows' is ShadowClan and 'thunder' is ThunderClan. If that's true then I think Littlewhisker might come back to ThunderClan," Leafpool continued, "because her pelt is as bright as the sun!"
Birchfur thought about it a little and realized what she was saying is right. 'The sun', Littlewhisker, 'shadows', ShadowClan, 'thunder', ThunderClan. Littlewhisker's pelt was shining in ThunderClan until ShadowClan took her. But ThunderClan will get her back! That makes sense, Birchfur thought.
"I'll tell Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw about Littlewhisker," Firestar told Birchfur. "I have a feeling I know how Squirrelflight will react and I don't want her to be angry at you." Birchfur just nodded. "Now go with Leafpool for your wounds. If you see Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw tell them I would like to see them in my den."
--I sigh-- Littlewhisker was taken!! How's Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight react?? I'm not sure when I'm going to update, but I'll try to update before December 23.
