Chapter 16

Lionblaze's POV

Lionblaze tensed all of his muscles as he heard the Swish noise grow louder and closer and right as he was about to attack…. A head of a she-cat popped out. "Lionblaze Jayfeather says to come in he could smell your scent… you know it's not nice to lurk outside a medicine cat den! Some in we don't bite!" mewed Briarlight. Lionblaze was so startled that all he could do is nod his head and pad into the den. Lionblaze found himself watching Jayfeather blindly sort through the leaves, but as soon as Lionblaze took a step forwards Jayfeather's head shot up and he mewed "Yes what is it Lionblaze?" confused Lionblaze replied "err well I need to talk to you in private." And without another word Lionblaze heard the swish of the bramble screen and Briarlight had left to 'get some prey.' Lionblaze sighed then said "we need to talk to Dovewing and Ivyclaw about the dark forest, the forces are rising, and I can feel it, we need to be ready!"

Dovewing's POV

Dovewing was about to head out on her second hunting patrol, when a cat whispered her name. She turned around to find herself face to face with Lionblaze. "We need to talk NOW!" he whispered. Dovewing sighed and mewed "Fine lets meet by the bramble bush at the Windclan border. Lionblaze nodded then hurried off to tell the others. Dovewing managed to catch a vole and two sparrow's and then she told Brambleclaw, the leader of the hunting patrol, "I'm going to check over this way and see if there is any prey." Brambleclaw nodded an approval, and Dovewing bounded off in the direction of the Windclan border.

Once at the bramble bush she waited a few minutes for any one to arrive, but no one did, so she began to hunt a mouse. Down in the crouch, pulling herself forwards, getting ready to spring, spring, and catch the mouse. Dovewing buried her prey, and headed back over to the bush. She turned around, when she heard a panting, and found herself face to face with Ivyclaw. Dovewing used her powers, and angled her ears towards camp, and heard the slow pawsteps of Jayfeather and Lionblaze coming. Once they were out of camp they went quicker.

She soon found herself staring at them face to face. "So Ivyclaw any news from the dark forest yet?" Lionblaze mewed. "No, not much has happened, just more training, but it has become a little bit harsher, but not that bad." Ivyclaw returned. "Heard anything Dovewing?" mewed Jayfeather. "No what about you Lionblaze?" "No" he replied. "Jayfeather has any cat come to you with suspicious scratches?" "Let me think….. No."

Dovewing opened her mouth to say something, when she heard Brambleclaw calling her name. "Well I have to go bye!"

During the rest of the time on a hunting patrol Dovewing had caught over all two sparrows' two mice and a vole. After dumping her prey into the fresh kill pile she padded over to eat with Sorreltail and Brackenfur.

Ivyclaw's POV

As soon as Dovewing had left to go back to her hunting patrol not much had happened. Ivyclaw dismissed herself and padded back towards camp, and she noticed that as soon as she left the brothers started talking amongst themselves. With a sigh Ivyclaw was half way into the gorse tunnel when she heard something. Immediately whirling around she lifted her head to smell the air, and smelt fox. How could it get so close to camp, without anybody noticing? Ivyclaw followed the trail, which ended up in a clearing, and she was only two tail lengths away from a huge dog-fox. Ivyclaw screeched and lunged at the fox.
