Another chapter. Sorry it took me so long to update. I have had a busy week.

Please don't be mad at me.

"There will be three names that will be forever repeated. One who cares for kin, One who loves for many reasons, and One who will be both of these things; this cat will be as great as you, Firestar. This cat will care for every cat knows about this one. This is the cat that will change ThunderClan forever!"

Chapter 32

Birchfur for watched as Littlewhisker ran out of camp. "Stay where you are!" Firestar ordered, as Maplestripe was about to go after her. "We don't want to upset her more than she is."

Birchfur couldn't stand this anymore. He padded over to Firestar and meowed, "Firestar, can I go talk to her? I'll come straight back if she wouldn't talk to me."

Firestar looked at Birchfur for a moment and then nodded. "If anyone can bring Littlewhisker back, I know it's you."

"Thank you," Birchfur meowed and bounded out of camp.

It wasn't hard to pick up Littlewhisker's scent trail. Birchfur followed it and it was obvious that she didn't try to hide her scent. The trail was leading to the lake.

At the end of the trail, Birchfur stopped at a rock that hung over the edge of the lake. On the edge of the rock that hung over the water was Littlewhisker. She stared out at the lake like in a trance as the sun started to set.

"I thought you would come," Littlewhisker meowed not turning her head. "Just go away, all this is my fault. Brambleclaw's died because of me."

"I'll be the judge to choose if this is all your fault," Birchfur meowed stepping onto the rock. "Where are we? Why didn't patrols find this place?"

"When I was an apprentice Brambleclaw would tell me stories here when the sun would set," Littlewhisker muffled. Her voice was then very quiet, "Do you want to know what happened?"

Birchfur could barely hear her, but replied, "Yes."

"Goldentail, Smokestorm, and I were talking and someone attacked us," Littlewhisker began. "When we woke up we were in a dark place, it reeked of RiverClan. Hawkfrost came in with two other cats, Blackclaw and a rogue. They took me from Goldentail and Smokestorm into another place. Hawkfrost said that he wanted me to be his deputy since the Clans treat him like he does everything wrong. I said no, but when I did he pounced on me and told me that I better change my mind or he will hurt Goldentail and Smokestorm. When he left Blackclaw and the rogue took guard of me." Littlewhisker shivered.

Birchfur pressed up to her and she continued. "Finally they let Goldentail and Smokestorm see me. Hawkfrost came back and said that he needed my answer for being deputy. Smokestorm protested by growling that I can't be since I'm going to have kits. Hawkfrost said that was an even better reason for me to be deputy, and then he attacked Smokestorm. I attack Hawkfrost and he pinned me down. We started to fight, but no other cat attacked."

"Brambleclaw came and saved me from being killed. Hawkfrost killed Brambleclaw and I killed Hawkfrost. Once Blackclaw saw Hawkfrost's dead body they all ran," Littlewhisker finished burying her muzzle in Birchfur's fur.

"You did the right thing; none of this is your fault," Birchfur reassured Littlewhisker. "Brambleclaw is proud of you. Are you ready to go back to camp? You wouldn't need to tell Firestar anything, I will."

Birchfur looked into her eyes and she nodded. They both stood up and padded back to camp.

The moon was rising when Birchfur and Littlewhisker returned. "Isn't there a Gathering tonight?" Littlewhisker whispered to Birchfur.

"Yes, there is," Birchfur answered. "Go on to Leafpool and Cinderpelt's den." Littlewhisker nodded and padded off.

Brambleclaw's body was surrounded by his mate and his children. Birchfur padded over to Dustpelt and asked, "Has Firestar left for the Gathering?"

Dustpelt looked up at him. "No, he hasn't even announced who's going. If you're looking for him then he should be in his den."

Birchfur nodded thanks and bounded over to Firestar's den just as Firestar came out. "Any news, Birchfur?"

Birchfur told Firestar Littlewhisker's story quickly.

Firestar meowed, "Thank you, I want you to stay and take care of Littlewhisker." He yowled for the cats to come out of their dens. "Cinderpelt, Graystripe, Stormcloud, Ashfur, Rainwhisker, Sorreltail, Sandstorm, Dustpelt, Ferncloud, and Thornclaw are going to go to the Gathering. We are leaving now."

Now you know why I told you not to be mad at me. I'm sorry I killed off Brambleclaw. I didn't want to, but it goes with the plot. Just so you know, I cried when I wrote it and when I read over it. Brambleclaw is my FAVORITE character, beside Crowfeather. So anyway, please review!!
