OK, another chapter. MoonAquaAngel asked a question that I'm going to answer for everyone to know:
Q-Why is Cinderpaw helping Littlewhisker and her friends?
A-Because he knows that Littlewhisker isn't and won't be a loyal ShadowClan warrior and is trying to help her get out. And something else is the result of this, but I can't tell you because it is a really big spoiler for a chapter. (The chapter will come later, but I'm not saying which chapter hehe)
Disclaimer-I do not own Warriors. (Why would I own Warriors if I don't even own the book Sunset yet?)
Chapter 17
It had been three moons since Stormpaw, Goldentail, and Birchfur saw Littlewhisker at moonhigh. It was now middle of leaf-fall. The patrols had stopped looking for Littlewhisker now and gave up hope that she would ever return.
Stormpaw sighed and padded out of her den. Though Goldentail and Birchfur helped her with caring for the elders, she still seemed nonstop tired.
"Stormpaw are you ready to train?" Brackenfur called.
Stormpaw looked at her mentor and nodded. She bounded over to Brackenfur and they left the camp.
"What are we going to do today?" she asked.
"I'm going to review you on everything you've learned in fighting. I've already seen your hunting skills. If you do well then you might be made a warrior," Brackenfur explained. Stormpaw didn't want to be a warrior, not without Littlewhisker anyway. "You do want to be a warrior now, don't you?"
"No," Stormpaw mewed quietly.
"No?" Brackenfur's voice was full of disbelief.
"No."
"Why?"
"I have my reasons."
"And I want to know your reasons," Brackenfur meowed sternly.
"Its just that I want Littlewhisker to be there when I become a warrior," Stormpaw meowed nervously.
"Then you might be waiting a long time."
"What do you mean by that?" Stormpaw growled.
"No one knows what happened to Littlewhisker. For all we know she might be dead," Brackenfur meowed.
"So you've given up faith in her. Is that the Littlewhisker you know? The one I know doesn't give up," Stormpaw hissed.
"Stormpaw calm down, I didn't mean that," Brackenfur meowed.
"I better go back to camp before I start fighting for the wrong reasons," she hissed bounded back to camp.
She reached the camp still fuming. She saw Birchfur and Goldentail whispering outside the warriors' den and joined them.
"What's wrong?" Goldentail asked. "I thought you went out training with Brackenfur."
"We didn't get too far today," Stormpaw meowed. She began to explain everything that happened while she was out of camp.
"You know that the Clan doesn't think Littlewhisker is alive. You also know that they don't know that we saw her," Birchfur hissed in a low voice. "You didn't think Stormpaw."
"You don't know how I feel! Littlewhisker is my friend and her warning is going to make my fur fall out!" Stormpaw hissed at her brother.
"We both know how you feel! Littlewhisker isn't only my friend, but she's my sister, too!" Goldentail growled.
"Goldentail's right. We both know how you feel. I love Littlewhisker! Her warning is bothering us just as much as you," Birchfur meowed as his anger disappeared.
"I better go back and find Brackenfur so I can apologize to him about my outburst," Stormpaw mewed.
"I'm going to go get some sleep. I haven't been able to sleep lately," Goldentail mewed nodding good-bye to Birchfur. She disappeared into the warriors' den.
Not much happened in this chapter, but something pretty big happens in the next chapter!!
Stormpaw doesn't want to become a warrior until Littlewhisker comes back! That's sad isn't it? Feel sorry for her.
Again, any questions? If you free to put them in your review. I might get them the moment you review or not because my email-when-someone-reviews-thingy has stopped working for some reason. So review and I'll see if it works now!
My computer is going crazy! Ok, second time posting this chapter(though most of you don't know that), my computer wouldn't make my note's at the top and bottom bold! Hope it works now!
