Chapter 3
A/N Sorry I haven't updated it was my birthday! I know in the last chapter I wrote visual (thanks Jaysong (Guest). Sorry about that grammatical fail with the commas, I'm still learning. School has back up so updates might be slow. Thanks to:
Jaysong (Guest)- Thank you for the help and kind words.
Willowdream of Forestclan- Thank you for the help and message.
Silent's Screams- They say a picture tells a thousand words so one word would tell… I can't be bothered to do the math but thanks.
"Stormfeather!" yelled Oakfur.
"Oakfur, your alright!" Stormfeather purred.
"Yeah but I'm still really sore." he said as he showed her a scratch.
"That must of hurt."
"It did and look at this bite mark."
"It looks pretty deep, I was so worried, I though you might die."
"The thing…." Oakfur started to shake.
"Its ok it's not here." she had never seen him like this before.
"I must avenged Rockpelt," he suddenly said.
"I will help you but not right now, remember the gathering is tonight Rainstar will speak about it then."
"I hope I can go," he said
"I hope so too," she purred.
"Huh."
"Nothing."
"Sorry to interrupt but if Oakfur wants to go he needs to rest," said a voice from behind.
"Ivytail." said the two cats in unison.
"Sorry I scared you but Oakfur does need to rest."
"No problem, I need to take Silverpaw hunting anyway." Stormfeather said as she was leaving.
"Bye Stormfeather." Oakfur yelled.
"Bye Oakfur."
*Outside*
"Silverpaw where are you?" called Stormfeather.
"Over here." the apprentice answered.
"Do you want to go hunting?" she asked.
"I'm busy."
"With what." Stormfeather questioned.
"Talking with Pumapaw and Whitepaw." she lied.
"Hunting is more important than talking."
"Why?" she whined.
"Because you're final assessment is in five sunrises." Stormfeather answered.
"Five?" she said shocked
"Yes five."
"I guess your right, sorry for arguing Stormfeather." Her head drooped.
"Its ok."
"Lets go then." Silverpaw said.
*On the Shore*
"Now, you already know how to catch fish but lets have a fishing compaction."
"Alright it's on"
9 minutes had passed and the score was 6/2 to Stormfeather.
Stormfeather noticed that Silverpaw wasn't concentrating.
"Are you feeling ok?" Stormfeather asked.
"Huh, yes I'm fine."
"I'm sorry about pulling you away from talking but you know…
Silverpaw cut her off, "Its fine."
"Ok but lets head back." Stormfeather said picking up her catch.
As they were nearing camp, Stormfeather herd a thud and turned around.
"Silverpaw!" yelled Stormfeather seeing her on the floor.
"I'm ok," she said.
"Let me carry your fish" Stormfeather said.
*Back at Camp*
Stormfeather dropped off the fish and Pinefur came over to her. "Stormfeather can I talk to you." he asked
"Sure, what about?"
"Pumapaw, he has been distracted lately and not focusing." he answered.
"Same with Silverpaw, I pulled her away from talking with Pumapaw and Whitepaw but she said it was fine, do you think something is happening with their family?" she asked.
"I'm not sure but you watch them and I'll ask their parents, wait did you say talking with Pumapaw."
"Yes why?" she asked.
"Because Pumapaw was with me all day," he answered.
"So she lied but we still need to split up."
"I agree let's go."
"Wait, where are they?" she asked but he was gone.
Pinefur's P.O.V
Now where are Lilyblossom and Stoneheart?
There they are sharing tongues with Fernbreeze.
"Pinefur, I want you to go hunting." called Perchpelt.
"Why me?" I said.
"Because you aren't busy," he snorted.
"Fine, who do I take?" I said defeated.
"Silversky."
Why is he so mad all the time?
"Silversky!" I called.
"Over here." I herd her yell.
"Perchpelt told me to go hunting with you."
"Ok let's go." she said
*30 Mins later*
Ok their still sharing tongues, now's my chance.
"Hi, how are you all?" Pinefur asked.
"Fine." they all answered. They look fine.
"How's the family?"
"Good, were lucky our family is good and still together." Stoneheart answered.
"What brings you here? asked Fernbreeze.
"Just stoping by," he answered.
"Why don't you come and eat with us?" asked Lilyblossom
"Sure, I'll get some prey off the fresh-kill pile for all of us."
"Thanks." they all said.
Pinefur came back with two water voles and two fish. "Thanks again Pinefur." said Fernbreeze.
"No problem now lets eat."
*Evening*
Rainstar stepped out of her den and jumped onto Skyrock. "All cats old enough to swim, gather underneath Skyrock for a meeting." her voice echoed. "As you may know tonight is the gathering, tonight we will talk about the thing. Ivytail, is Oakfur well enough to come?" she asked. "Yes." she answered. "We will be leaving as soon as possible so these cats are coming: Fernbreeze, Oakfur, Sunflight, Toadfoot, Stormfeather, Blackpaw, Pinefur, Rosepaw, Hawkeye, Silversky, Pumapaw, Silverpaw, Longwisker and Hareleap." she listed. "Now let's go."
The cats leap into the water; the current pushing them away. This would be a tough obstacle for any cat but not Lakeclan; their strong strides and waterproof coats make them swimming machines as they powered through the water. As soon as they reached land they broke into a sprint, bellowing towards the meeting place. As they arrived Rainstar hopped on to Leader's Rock along with Eaglestar, Lilystar and Pinestar.
"May I go first?" asked Lilystar.
"Sure." said the other leaders.
"Meadowclan is going fine; prey is plentiful and we have healthy kits but we found a strange sent near the edge of our territory," she said
Pinestar and Eaglestar gave their reports, now only Rainstar was left. "Something attacked Rockpelt and Oakfur. Oakfur sustained life threatening wounds and Rockpelt was killed." Gasps filled the air. "We believe a cat was responsible, Fernbreeze one of two witnesses said the thing had red eyes." she said. More gasps came.
A random cat shouted: "Are you crazy, what do you mean red."
"Some cats eyes turn red when blood is in their eyes also known as a hunger for death." she explained.
"Rainstar is right, there is a legend about it," said Lilystar.
"And the first cat, the leader of this phenomenon, the first cat with the power that passed in on was from Forestclan." Perchpelt yelled. Many cats including some from other clans yelled their agreement.
"Are trying to start a clan war because you've got one!" yelled Eaglestar. Forestclan looked like they were going to tear every Lakeclan cat to shreds. At that very moment a huge cloud covered the moon; Starclan was angry.
