Go Warriors:
Riftstar is harsh because there is a threatening prophecy about Wasppaw and so it's not only her, the whole clan hates him apart from: Heatherjay, Silverfur, Willowfern, Sanddrift & Dapplepaw.
Wanderstar:
How did you know!? Yes he does but there is something about him that will change forever! Too dramatic?
Thanks to those who have sent in OCs for ROFD! And thanks to everyone who gave cookies to Blindpaw and who took a cookie! Yummy? Do I blabber too much?
On with the story!
JUST INCASE HE'S READING THIS:
Jayfeather.
To a medicine cat that cannot see into the truth. May you guide the past to form the future!
Blindpaw's P.O.V
It had been 3 whole days since I had woken from my slumber, I have realized that I'm critically injured, but not only that, I am blind. Heatherjay still brought me food and company, I had only seen my mother and father once. Littletail had not come at all. Riftstar avoided us, Sanddrift talked to Willowfern though. My mentor, Ferretclaw has retired now, but sorry isn't good enough he says to me. Silverfur still loves me, it's like she's my mother! I am broken to the core to miss out on Mintwhisker's kits. Antpaw & Mothpaw would come in here curious, but Willowfern would just shoo them away. Spottedpaw and Volepaw were scared of me, I could feel it. But Dapplepaw, she was the one who helped and kept me safe the most, funny, she used to hate me...
"Okay, are you sure that you will be fine while I'm gone tonight?"
Blindpaw stifled a purr of amusement, he liked how Willowfern and Silverfur fussed about him. He was sitting in his nest staring at a wall, he could hear her in the background cleaning up some smelly herbs. Ever since the accident, he had been living in this den, heck, he hadn't outside in the camp yet!
"I'll be fine Willowfern, say hi to Brightpaw for me, will you?"
The grey she-cat stared at him, he could feel her deep blue gaze burning into his fur, before wrapping her tail gently over his shoulders. "Okay, see you soon."
Blindpaw heard the medicine cat leave, her pawsteps fading into nothingness. Suddenly hurried pawsteps greeted him, but the scent of a confused tom suffocated the air.
"Littletail?"
The tom growled, Blindpaw stiffened, was Littletail mad at him for getting hurt?
"Oh just you here is it?"
His tabby brother sneered, Blindpaw winced, why was everyone so mad at him?
"Yes."
He felt a hot breath brush his cheek, Blindpaw realized that Littletail had crept up on him and was very close.
"Do you know why Riftstar made you 'Blindpaw'?"
He hesitated, hot guilt swept his pelt.
"No..."
He felt something sharp pierce his face and he yelped in pain and surprise, this wasn't the Littletail he wanted as a loving brother!
"Liar! You were part of a doom prophecy!"
Another set of claws found themselves at his chest, Blindpaw parted his jaws in a gasp of fresh air and pain. He scented cool night air, was it late already? Did anyone hear him?
Littletail's tail had wrapped itself around his neck, and the lean tom was pinning him down, making him listen. Hot breath tickled his ear and blood seeped from the side of his face, burning his left eye and nose.
"What prophecy!?"
Blindpaw spat at him fiercely.
"The wasp's claws will rip the rifted storm and plunge the clans into the shadows."
Littletail repeated his leader's words, he had been sent to tell his brother this, but he couldn't destroy him!
"What... What does that mean?"
He winced at the sound of his brother's rasp voice and bloodied face but held him down firmly.
"Riftstar had a visit from Silverflight, he said that you would be destined for terrible things..."
"Such as?"
"Tearing this clan apart."
Why would I do that?"
"No-one knows..."
His voice trailed off and his paws faded to nothing as Littletail retreated into the darkness outside.
Blindpaw lied still on the ground, letting the cool night air wash over him. Why would Littletail tell him that? Flicking his ears back and sensing dawn, Blindpaw heaved a sigh and padded back to the den. He stopped when he heard a low wail coming from the entrance to the camp. "Willowfern?"
He padded around to scent the grey she-cat and was stunned to hear her crying. "What's wrong?"
The she-cat jumped surprised at him but calmed down, would he understand the pain?
"Sootpelt... She's-she's... Dead..."
Poor Sootpelt! X(
And poor Brightpaw, Blindpaw & Littletail!
O.O
But does Dapplepaw love Blindpaw?
Ooooooooooooooooooh!
