Now i know the last chapter was very...sappy but i promise it will get better
I grabbed a mouse and headed to where Mousewhisker was sitting. Near him, Lionblaze and Cinderheart were sharing tongues, by the freshkill pile Squirrelflight, Brambleclaw and Leafpool were huddling and talking in hushed voices, shotting glances at Ashfur and Lionblaze. Across the freshkill pile Tigerfur, Honeyfern, Poppyfrost and Icecloud were all sitting together and laughing.
As I sat down to eat I noticed Mousewhiskers eyes were wary and they looked tired, probably from going on the dawn patrol.
"Hey, what's wrong" I asked
"Oh, nothing just…thinking" he said. About what? I wondered.
"So…how was the dawn patrol?" I wanted to make him happy, somehow.
"Uh, well I found some scents at the windclan border smelling of windclan cats" he said
"Well duh, that's their territory, mouse-brain" he seemed distrackted, his eyes had a weird almost longing look on them.
"No, like a cat, the cat, her" he said
"Who?" what was this crazy tom talking about
"Hollyleaf"
"Oh" I knew he once had feeling for her but now…
"No, not that way, its just it was to close to the border and Honeyfern's scent was there too…" he said purring in to my ear
"Well they could have met and started talking" I said
"Yeah… Listen I'm going to catch some sleep 'kay?
"yeah, sure I'm done anyways" I said looking at the fur of my mouse.
I stood up and stretched, Tigerfur had gotten up and was awalking toward the freshkill pile, his head jutted forward and down, kind of crouching. I rised my eyebrows at him. As he passed me Brambleclaw, Squirrelflight and Leafpool he angled his ears toward them and stopped to lick his paw.
I narrowed my eyes, my brother had been knowed to listen to senior warrior's conversations, but I thought he had stopped after our first assessment.
I decided to go hunting, the freshkill pile was getiing low and I needed to strech my legs.
I smelled the air, a faint scent of squirrel filled mynnose and as I turned the scent got harder. I finnaly located the squirrel, nibbling on a seed, not watching as I snuck up on it, but suddenly the wind changed and the squirrel took of running. I sprinted after it, not noticing I crossed the stream leading into windclan lland, until I crashed into a black lump.
Standing there with an amused face and holding the squirrel by the tail was Hollyleaf, her black pelt shining and her green eyes twinkling.
I growled but she just chuckled.
"you know you're on Windclan territory right?" she asked
"Yes ofcouse" I growled
"why are you here" her voice was still calm
"I was hunting the squirrel you have there" I said trying not to keep my voice calm and not shacking because of the irritatione and annoyment aand anger this she-cat caused inside me.
"On Windclan territory?" she said mocking surprise " Now Firestar wouldn't like that would he, I mean you kitty-pets do follow the code like the rest of us, right?" there was a sneer embedded in her mew
I hissed and raised a paw to kill the squirrel she was holding by the tail, just as I was bringing my paw down, she let the squirrel go.
"What did you do that for" I hissed
"It's Windclan prey anyways. What do you care?" she said her mask of calmness slipping just a bit.
"It was Thunderclan prey" I snarled
"was, as soon as it crossed the stream it turned onto Windcln prey and you can't hunt windclan prey unless its on your land, which ofcourse then it would've turned into Thunderclan prey" she said tilting her head
I growled "that could have fed the queens or elders" I was steaming with anger during leafbare prey couldn't afford to be wasted…
"Oh thank-you for worring but Windclan has enough prey" she said
"I didn't mean Windclan cats" I said "Why can't you go away?"
"My land, I can go where ever I want" she said
"You're very close to the border" I said, she wasn't going to make me explode.
"Oh does that bother you" she asked stepping even closer to the border "does this?" she put a paw inside our borders. I snarled and crouched ready to attack. She put her paw out then back in.
I growled and laid my ears flat, she straightened up and hissed, then crouched too. I heard the leafs rustling and in a heart beat Hollyleaf was sitting down again and licking her paw.
"saved by your brothers aren't you" she said under her breath
Tigerfur and Lionblaze stood next to me, baring their teeth at Hollyleaf, but she just groomed her pelt without watching us. Then shooting us a look of fake innocence she left.
"Moondapple we've got something to tell you" Tigerfur said quickly
"okay, go ahead" I said
"Um…how should put this, Lionblaze isn't our brother" they had to be kidding
I looked at Lionblaze who was finding his paws very intresting, it couldn't be, he looked so much like Squirrelflight.
"You're kidding right?" I asked
"No, sorry" Lionblaze looked up.
"Okay, first how do you know, second who are your parents" I asked
"I know because I noticed this morning Leafpool and Squirrelflight talking looking at Ashfur and Lionblaze and Brambleclaw was shuffling his paws not actingn deputy-like at all," Tigerfur said. I was right, he had been evesdropping.
"And he heard Leafpool say 'I've got to tell Crowfeater if he tells Nightcloud, she can tell Hollyleaf and Jayfeather" Lionblaze said, he looked at me terrified and horrified face "Yes Hollyleaf and Jayfeather are my siblings" he said
"No!" I awnsered fiercly "Maybe by blood yeah but not by clan and not by…by…well it's not like you want to be their sibling right?"
"Right!" he said
"we technacly are related by blood, Moondapple. Squirrelflight and Leafpool are sisiter's so that makes us cousins" Tigerfur said
"Well, I guess so yeah, but we're siblings by heart" I said what I wanted to say at the beginning but didn't know how.
"Yeah" Tigerfur and Lionblaze said fiercly at the same time.
"Um….so are we lgoing to like tell Leafpool and Squirrelflight we know" I aksed
"Yeah…I mean if you guys want to" Lionblaze said
I looked at Tigerfur, he nodded "Okay"
Then us three, cousins by blood and siblings by heart set out to tell our aunt and our mother we knew their biggest secret.
Please review. I want atleast three reviews, bad or good!
