"Shadowstar will you just listen to me? Why won't you believe me?" Ashpaw growled, leaping in front of me.
"Because it's impossible! Tawnykit and Ravenkit couldn't possibly be alive!" I hissed, shoving him gently aside.
"Well Ravenpaw isn't alive now." Ashpaw sneered.
"You killed one of their apprentices! I wouldn't be surprised if Littlestar kicked us out of the camp." I scoffed. What if Littlestar does kick us out? Where would we go?
"It wasn't their apprentices! It was those filthy Unwanteds! Four more of them are in her den now!" Ashpaw hissed but I silenced him with my tail.
"Enough! Just stop it! The Unwanteds are dead! Get over it Ashpaw! We will not have this discussion again." I growled at him. I watched as my son stalked away, lashing his tail angrily. It's just him mourning for them, that's why he saw them. He attacked that apprentice thinking he was an Unwanted. He is wrong, the Unwanteds are dead.
I followed silently as Littlestar led the four apprentices, and all of our warriors through the forest. Littlestar led us all through the thicket to meet up with the was going to discuss what our plan was. I sat as far from the UnwantedClan leader as possible, I felt guilty for disobeying the leader that saved my life.
I kept my eyes on the ground as I one by one, all the apprentices came into the camp, I couldn't see them but I knew their eyes were filled with anger. Ravenpaw, you were right. We should have never come, we were mouse-brains.
"I'm sure you had a good reason." Someone's whispered softly in my ear. I could feel their warm pelt press against mine. Nightpaw.
"I was stupid." I sighed, closing my eyes. I made a stupid mistake and now I've lost the one brother I care about. I thought for a moment. No, that's not true. I care about Fuzzynose.
"You weren't the stupid one. It was me and Rabbitpaw. We talked you, Ravenpaw and Dustpaw into coming." Snakepaw mewed.
"I still shouldn't have come." I sighed. I could feel Nightpaw press closer, trying to comfort me. Nothing he does can make me forget what happened tonight, it's my fault my brother is dead.
"I have asked you to come here when the Clans are still here, because the secret is out. I trust you all know what has happened because news travels fast, we need to decide out plan for battle." Littlestar mewed. Everyone was silent, they knew before they came what was going to happen.
"I know some of you may hesitate in fighting your mothers, fathers, littermates and the Wanteds who were in the nursery with you. If you aren't going to fight in the battle, I need to know now. I don't want to lose a battle with warriors or apprentices backing out when they face their loved ones." Littlestar mewed.
"We don't know anyone in the Clans, we were raised in UnwantedClan and that is where we will stand. We will fight with you Littlestar." Dewdrop flicked her tail towards her littermates, Softpetal and Puddleleap before the three of them sat beside their mother, Rivermist.
"Thank you. Who else will fight will us?" Littlestar mewed.
"I will. I hate my father." Mistycloud hissed, stepping forward. This continued, both warriors and apprentices stepping forward, promising to fight along-side Littlestar. It was only me, Snakepaw, Dustpaw and Rabbitpaw left.
"We have already caused enough trouble. We won't back down in a battle, we owe you that." Dustpaw and Rabbitpaw padded over to Littlestar's side.
"I can't fight, I only learned how to defend myself and that won't help me in a battle against warriors and apprentices who have been trained different techniques. I might remember a few moves from when Wolfpaw, Moonpaw and Kestrelpaw were training in the camp when I was a kit but I won't be able to do it right. I will do anything to help with wounds." Snakepaw promised, leaving me all alone.
"Ravenpaw died at the paws of my brother, I'm not going to let that go easily. I will make Ashpaw pay for what he did, brother or not." I declared, joining my true Clan mates. Ashpaw, you'll be sorry.
