I said I was going to update before today, but friends came over yesterday and I didn't get a chance to post another chapter. So here is chapter 14.
Disclaimer-I do not own Warriors.
Chapter 14
"I wonder how Squirrelflight is going to react," Leafpool meowed to Birchfur as she put a poultice on Birchfur's wounds.
"I have a feeling that she's going to be upset," predicted Birchfur.
"You may go now," Leafpool announced. Birchfur nodded thanks and exited the den.
Most cats were back in camp now, except Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight's patrol. The moment came; Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight entered the camp with Dustpelt and Ferncloud.
Birchfur took a deep breath and padded over to them. "Brambleclaw, Squirrelflight, Firestar wants to see you in his den," he told the two cats.
They glance at each other and Brambleclaw meowed, "Thanks for telling us."
Birchfur nodded and went to the fresh-kill pile, grabbed a squirrel and settled outside the warriors' den to eat. Goldentail came over and sat down. "Where's Littlewhisker? I thought that you were going to eat together," Goldentail commented.
"You obviously haven't heard yet," Birchfur meowed lifting his head. She frowned. "Today, ShadowClan attacked and they took Littlewhisker with them."
Before Goldentail had a chance to say anything a yowl came from Firestar's den. Most cats looked at his den, but Birchfur looked away. "Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw know now," Birchfur meowed.
"How did this happen?" Goldentail asked miserably.
Firestar came out of his den and jumped onto the Highledge. "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join beneath the Highledge for a Clan meeting."
Brambleclaw came out of Firestar's den with his head down while Squirrelflight followed her head down and her tail dragged. Birchfur felt upset that Littlewhisker was gone, but something to him told him that she really never left.
"Birchfur, are you okay?" Stormpaw asked. Birchfur nodded. "I knew immediately that that cry was Squirrelflight hearing about Littlewhisker."
"Why aren't you upset? Littlewhisker is your closest friend," Birchfur mewed.
"Yes she is and why aren't you upset? She is your future mate," Stormpaw challenged.
"Cats of ThunderClan," Firestar yowled, his voice rung in the clearing. "ShadowClan attacked today! And I sorry to announce this, but when ShadowClan attacked they captured Littlewhisker." Squirrelflight let out another wail of sadness for losing her daughter.
"How? She's stronger than you Firestar," Cloudtail called.
"No one who was there saw what happened," Firestar announced. "All we know is that when ShadowClan attacked the patrol she was on a few dawns ago was a way to get information about the warriors who fought that day."
"Are we going to go rescue her?" Maplestripe asked.
Birchfur rose to his paws. "We can't," he explained.
"Why not?" Whiteear demanded.
"Blackstar said that if we tried to rescue her he would kill her," Birchfur explained.
"I don't believe you," Squirrelflight hissed.
"Is there a reason not to believe, Squirrelflight?" Firestar asked calmly. "We have to take Blackstar's threat seriously."
"She's my daughter! This could never happen to Littlewhisker!" Squirrelflight wailed. She glared at Birchfur.
"Seasons ago I remember my daughter went missing and I didn't know where she went. You know where your daughter is and she could be in danger if we go and try to rescue her. You know that Littlewhisker is safe for now," Firestar meowed trying to comfort his daughter.
"We need to watch out incase Blackstar is thinking of stealing any more warriors," Firestar announced. "We will have regular patrols again so more warriors can stay in camp." He jumped off the Highledge and started to talk to Graystripe.
Birchfur stayed where he was as cats went to their dens. Goldentail padded over to him. "Are you coming into the den?"
"Aren't you angry at me too, for not saving Littlewhisker?" he asked.
"No, I know you did all you could to get her back and I thank you for that," Goldentail replied her voice had traces of grief in it. "Come on, if you hurry then you might be able to get some sleep before Squirrelflight starts wailing again."
Birchfur reluctantly nodded and got up. Slowly he padded over to the warriors' den.
Sad chapter, I know. Review and I'll update faster!
