Ivysoul twitched her ears as she walked out of the warriors den. It had been three days since Firestar had made her and her sister Dovewing warriors and made the decision that now made Hawk frost a true Thunderclan warrior but, a lot of warriors didn't trust him. She saw the dark brown pelts of Hawkfrost and Brambleclaw. They looked so alike! She didn't even know which one was which. It was a bright and early dawn. It was also the day of the gathering and she couldn't wait. She saw Firestar come back with a patrol. Sandstorm was following him with Thornclaw, Blssomfall, and Lionblaze. Ivysoul's ears swirled backwards as she heard the rustling of moss being moved and saw Brambleclaw wake up and yawn.
"Good morning Brambleclaw." She said with a flick of her tail.
"Good morning Ivysoul." he said washing his face with his paw. Ivysoul was about to go until she heard Brambleclaw's voice behind her.
"Oh and Ivysoul. You and your sister are going to the gathering tonight alright. She already knows so don't bother talling her alright?" he said walking out of the den. Yes! The gathering! Now she would be able to show her warrior name!
-X- Gathering time!
Jayfeather waited by the camp entrance with Firestar and Brambleclaw. They were waiting for the other cats to come too. Jayfeather scented Brakenfur, Whitewing, Ivysoul, Ferncloud, Dustpelt, Dovewing, Brightheart, Spiderleg, and Bumblestripe coming towards them.
"So are we ready to leave?" Brambleclaw asked Firestar. Jayfeather could hear the flick of Firestar's tail as a reply. Firestar looked back at the nursery where Sandstorm was and called out: "Thunderclan lets go." As the cats walked towards Riverclan territory he heard Brambleclaw whisper to Firestar.
"Firestar are you sure you're alright?" he asked.
"Yes, Brambleclaw I'm fine." He purred weakly. Jayfeather almost gasped. How could he have not sensed this? His leader was dying. What kind of medicine cat was he? Jayfeather thought as guilt clawed at him.
"Were here." Firestar said weakly jumping on the fallen tree that had killed Mudclaw so long ago… as the cats climbed the tree Jayfeather heard the hissing of Shadowclan and the greeting of the other clans. As they all walked off into different paths Jayfeather walked towards Whitewing. He heard her talking to a Windclan cat named Whitetail. He walked next to her and sat down. Jayfeather walked into her thoughts from such a long time ago…
Jayfeather found himself at the Abandoned twoleg house. He saw two other cats. One was White with huge black paws and a pure white she-cat cuddling together, purring. Jayfeather squinted as he noticed that they were Blackstar and Whitewing!
"Whitewing. I've never felt this way about any she-cat. But, then you come along and you make me act like I've died and gone to Starclan! Even when I think about you!" He said cuddling closer.
"I feel the same about you too Blackstar but…" she paused.
"But what?" Blackstar said moving his head away.
Whitewing looked away. "A cat in my clan named Birchfall…he told me he loved me." She said shaking. Blackstar jumped away. "What did you say." He demanded.
"I told him…I love him too. But it's not what you think Blackstar! I only said it because he's a Thunderclan warrior and everyone knew he liked me."
"So is that all." Blackstar said. Jayfeather knew for some reason that Blackstar was hardly listening.
"Yes…Blackstar I'm so sorry! I had to do it! Please forgive me! I-I had to mate with him!" She confessed floods of tears were streaming down her eyes.
Blackstar jumped away from her and yowled, "How dare you! I loved you! I gave you everything!" he yowled at her. "If you love him so much then how about you go into his nursery and have his mistake of kits!" he yelled.
"Blackstar there you're kits!" Whitewing yelled tears now turning her white fur a little darker on her cheeks.
Blackstar didn't even care to Jayfeathers shock., "Then if there my kits then fine!" he said bending down looking directly at her belly, "Then you my 'kits'are a mistake and I hope by Starclan that you die at birth." Said. Jayfeather jumped back in shock. How could he say that! Blackstar then turning around and ran off towards Shadowclan territory.
Whitewing stood there shocked with tears streaming down her beautiful face. "Blackstar!" She yowled. Jayfeather felt every emotion here Shock, guilt, pain, anger, and other emotions he couldn't explain.
Jayfeather was shaken by the scene as the flashback ended. How could Blackstar do that? How could he have said all those horrible words to her and his kits!
"Let the gathering begin!" Jayfeather was about to walk over to Whitewing when he heard Onestar's voice.
"Windclan is doing well. We have two new apprentices! They are here and they are called Darkpaw and Lightpaw. Jayfeather sensed embarrassment coming from two little beings as the clans called there names.
"Riverclan is also doing well!" Jayfeather heard Mistystar's voice ring aout around the clearing. "Prey is going well and Riverclan is going on strong as it has always been!" She called out.
"Shadowclan is doing well too. We have two new warriors who are not here but, are called Pineheart and Starlingclaw." he said. "There is nothing else to report."
"Thunderclan is doing fine as well. We have two new warriors. They are called Dovewing and Ivysoul." Firestar waited as the cheers went down but, none were from Shadowclan. Especially Blackstar. Jayfeather felt pain coming from Whitewing. No. not the pain of a battle…but, the pain of losing someone. Jayfeather could not help but, feel angry with Blackstar. Why can't he just accept Whitewing. Even if they were from different clans why can't he at least show respect to her kits! Firestar even made an announcement about Ivysoul and Dovewing when they were born! He made sure he said who the parents were!
"Them this gathering is over." Firestar announced. Jayfeather was caught up in his thoughts so much that he hadn't even heard the rest of the gather.
"Littlecloud!" He called out to the small tom.
"Yes Jayfeather?" he said
"I know this might seem a little weird but,…I need to speck with Blackstar please." Jayfeather could feel shock coming from his friend but, Littlecloud hesitated before saying yes.
"Whitewing, Ivysoul? May I talk to you both alone please?"
"Sure Jayfeather," they both said
"Good. Follow me." he said leading them away from the clearing and deeper into the island. Jayfeather could hear Brambleclaw asking where they were going and said he wanted them to help him gather some herbs he found on the island. After Brambleclaw left he asked them to sit down. When felt their bottoms hit the cold grass he waited until he heard Blackstar growling about something. Littlecloud then came and sat down next to him.
"Blackstar is on his way. So what is this all about?" the little cat asked him.
"You'll see."
Littlecloud"s P.O.V.
Littlecloud looked at the two she-cats. They were eyeing him suspiciously but, didn't say word. Littlecloud then heard Blackstar come from behind him.
"Lilltecloud, what is thi-." Blackstar stopped half-way in his sentence when he saw Whitewing and Ivysoul. But why?
Blackstar's P.O.V.
What is this?
"Littlecloud! What is this?" Blackstar said. Anger filling his mind. How dare he.
"Blackstar. I'm sorry for this but, I know Whitewing and you used to be mates." Blackstar heard Littlecloud and Ivysoul gasp but, didn't care. How dare this cat! Sharing his secret!
"And?" Blackstar prompted.
"And you need to know you that Ivysoul is you're daughter." Jayfeather finished.
"No!" Blackstar turned to his 'daughter' I-I can't be part Shadowclan! I'm supposed to be pure Thunderclan. What about Birchfall? What about Dovewing? Is she even my sister?" Ivysoul yowled.
"Ivysoul I'm so sorry I never told you this. You're Blackstar's daughter but, Dovepaw isn't. she's Birchfalls."
"It isn't fair! Dovewing gets everything she wants! Why can't my life go right for once! Dovewing gets a father who loves her while I don't that isn't fair! Nothings fair when it comes to me! Please be a dream Starclan! Please!" Ivysoul begged. Blackstar couldn't help but feel pity and guilt.
"Ivysoul…" Littlecloud started but, couldn't find the right words for her. Neither could any of them.
Blackstar raised his paw and gently cuffed her around her ears. Ivysoul looked at him with shock and confusion. Blackstar purred slightly and she looked at him with confusion.
"well Littlecloud and I will give you all some privacy." Jayfeather said flicking his tail to Littlecloud and both medicine cats walked off. Whitewing was looking down at her paws saying nothing.
Ivysouls P.O.V.
Ivysoul couldn't believe it. Blackstar was her father! She was part Shadowclan…but…why hadn't Whitewing told her sooner?
Blackstar was staring at Whitewing his face was unreadable but, the look in his eyes were love, sorrow, pain, and guilt.
"Ivysoul…" Blackstar tried to say but, couldn't
"Blackstar d-do you still love me like you said all those moons ago?" Whitewing asked.
Blackstar looked at her and got up and walked over to her until they were face to face. (Muzzle to muzzle I guess) "Yes. Whitewing…what I said all those years ago was nothing. I was just angry that you did it with some other tom." Blackstar confessed.
"Blackstar you know I would never try to hurt you like that! I loved you more than ever and I still do! Blackstar leader of Shadowclan I love you forever. Until the day join Starclan I'll wait for you…forever if it comes to that." Whitewing told him with so much love that Blackstar put his one large paw around her mothers shoulder and pulled her into a tight hug.
"Whitewing I'm so sorry about what I said. Can you ever forgive me Whitewing. And Ivysoul?" Blackstar said looking at Ivysoul.
Ivysoul looked at her father and blinked. "Yes…father. But why didn't you tell me mother?" she asked Whitewing.
"I never told you ecuase I knew it wold be hard for you if you knew." Whitewing said before turning back to her new mate.
"But, wait," Ivysoul started. "Are you both mates now?" Ivysoul asked them both. When they nodded her ears went down. Blackstar noticed.
"Ivysoul what's wrong?" He asked.
"It's just that…how will you guys ever be true mates without anyone finding out. I mean Blackstar! You have a whole clan to take care of and Whitewing you have another family and loyalty with another clan…how can you still be mates." Ivysoul asked confused.
"She's right Blackstar. We can't be real mates if were from different clans." Whitewing said moving away from her.
" Yes we can." Blackstar said. Both she-cats looked at him confused.
"Why?" Whitewing asked.
"Because I'm joing Thunderclan." Blackstar told them.
"What! You can't! you're their leader Blackstar!" Ivysoul gasped.
"Because I already two lives left and I want to spend my last two with my family!" Blackstar roared making both she-cats flinch.
"Sorry." he mumbled.
"But just a couple of weeks ago you attacked Thunderclan!" Whitewing said.
"Well if he says no…then I'll go back as a rouge. But, if I do…will you come with me Whitewing." Blackstar asked.
"O-of course." Whitewing told him. Ivysoul felt as if this was dream.
"Come on. If were going to let Blackstar join Thunderclan then we had better go!" Ivysoul said.
"Littlecloud!" Blackstar roared. A couple of heartbeats later a small tom came out of the bushes with a slightly taller gray tom. Both of them had small bundles of berries in there mouths. Wow I guess Jayfeather really had to find some herbs here. Ivysoul thought to herself.
"Yes Blackstar." Littlecloud said quite calm.
"I'm leaving to join Thunderclan. Tell Shadowclan I've died. But, don't tell them why alright. And tell Rowanclaw…he'll make a perfect leader." Blackstar ordered.
little cloud didn't look surprised but nodded his head and turned to walk away but, not without looking back to Whitewing and Ivysoul.
"You all makea oerfect family." He said racing off.
Blackstar sighed then looked down. He then looked up at his new family.
"What about Birchfall?" Ivysoul asked.
"He'll figure it out…I just hope he'll understand. But I know he won't." Whitewing said.
"So you're coming to join Thunderclan. Somehow I just knew you would."
"Jayfeather it that is? How did you knwow about us." Blackstar asked him.
"I have my ways Blackstar. But, don't judge a cat by his or her abilties. Now lets go." Jayfeather said.
"Blackstar?" Ivysoul aske while they were walking towards Thunderclan territory.
"Mmmm?" he replied.
"Do you remember that cat you hit uin the battle with Thunderclan?"
"No why."
"That was me."
Blackstar stopped in his tracks and looked at her. "Are alright. Did I give you anything that will cause you any-."
"She was fine…other then the fact that she had a coma for three days but, she was fine." He said crossing the fallen tree.
"Fine but, if something happens then it's your head medcine cat." Blackstar said.
"Whatever. And even if you do something Firestar will never let you join after that." he said knowing he had won the fight.
"Oh all right." Blackstar said. "Oh and…Ivysoul! Ivysoul!" he said. All three of them looked at him as if he grown two heads.
"What? I wasn't there for my own daughters warrior ceremony." he purred.
Finally done! Oh and this took me two days. I don't own this if I did then all this would happen. PEACE. Oh and I stopped the apocalypse!
