Rabbit: OMG I GOTS SO MANY REVIEWS! *starts crying with joy*
Dovesong: Here you go. *hands Rabbit a tissue*
Lionblaze: You shouldn't be that happy. You haven't even made it to 100 reviews yet.
Rabbit: I'm sure my reviewers have their reasons! But then again, 100 reviews sound pretty good.
Lionblaze: This is the reason why I should be the author and not you.
Rabbit: Okay, that's it! *pulls a chainsaw out of thin air*
Lionblaze: AAAAAAHHHHH! HEATHERTAIL SAVE MEEEEEEEEEEEE! *runs for his life*
Rabbit: *chases after him*
Jayfeather: *popping out of nowhere* Idiot. He doesn't seem to realize that he has the power to fight ALL living creatures.
Dovesong: Don't tell him that.
Jayfeather: Do you think we should say the disclaimer now?
Dovesong: I dunno. I guess so.
Jayfeather and Dovesong: Rabbit does not own Warriors!
Heathertail exited the camp and ran at full speed towards the ThunderClan border. She didn't want to wait until the next Gathering. It would be too long.
As she ran towards the border, she saw Whiskermask coming up. She slowed down and went over to Whiskermask.
"Whiskermask! Where were you?" she asked. To her surprise, Whiskermask shook his head.
"Not now. I'll tell you later," he whispered into her ear.
Heathertail gazed at her friend. "Okay. I got to go to Lionblaze. Right now," she mewed quickly.
It was Whiskermask's turn to stare at Heathertail. "What? Now?" he exclaimed.
Heathertail nodded. "It's urgent."
"I'll go with you," Whiskermask mewed instantly.
Heathertail was about to shake her head as a no when she realized that if anything happened, Whiskermask would be able to get Lionblaze.
"Okay," she agreed. "C'mon let's go!"
The two ran to the border. Just as they were crossing it, Heathertail heard a rustling noise. Before she or Whiskermask got a chance to hide, a ThunderClan patrol emerged out of the bushes.
"WindClan!" spat a red tom that Heathertail recognized as Foxleap.
"Well who did you think it was? The original leaders?" hissed Heathertail but Whiskermask nudged her with his shoulder to indicate that she should be quiet.
"We've come to see Jayfeather. Leafpool has some herbs to trade with him," Whiskermask meowed with confidence.
Heathertail rolled her eyes. Whiskermask was always excellent at making up lies.
Foxleap's eyes narrowed and Heathertail's heart started beating quickly.
"You know what? I don't believe you. Do you Toadstep?" growled Foxleap.
A black and white tom shook his head with a grin. "Hmm… Hey Volespring, what are we supposed to do when we find trespassers in our territory?"
Heathertail saw the cream tom circling around her. "I think we're supposed to attack them and chase them out," replied Volespring.
Whiskermask struggled to keep peace. "Really! Just get Jayfeather! You're not allowed to attack a patrol that comes in peace!" he mewed.
Foxleap snarled and pounced on him. Heathertail was attacked by Toadstep and Volespring.
She bit down on Volespring's shoulder and the tom jumped away. Heathertail immediately knew that this tom wasn't a very good warrior.
Volespring fled into the woods, probably to get back up. Toadstep scratched Heathertail's back and she yowled in pain. She slashed her claws into his stomach and blood squirted out of the wounds.
Toadstep flipped Heathertail over and viciously started scratching her stomach. Her kits! Heathertail threw the ThunderClan warrior off as she thought of her future kits.
Toadstep skidded across the forest floor. "You'll regret that!" he hissed angrily as he glared at her.
Heathertail returned the gaze. "I know I won't," she replied.
Toadstep crouched down, about to spring. Heathertail got herself ready for a fight.
Then, there was an explosion of leaves as Jayfeather, Lionblaze, and Volespring came thundering out of the bushes.
"See Lionblaze? I told you!" meowed Volespring proudly.
Heathertail felt love and protection from Lionblaze rushing towards her.
"Seriously Volespring. There are two cats. That can't be a patrol you mousebrain!" hissed Lionblaze as he rolled his eyes.
Volespring glared at him but didn't reply. Heathertail laughed. Inwardly of course.
Then she felt claws prick her side and pain shot through her body as Toadstep raked his claws down her side.
"Lionblaze! Help!" she shrieked, batting Toadstep away.
Lionblaze jumped forward, grabbed Toadstep by his scruff, and threw him a long distance away from Heathertail where the warrior hit a tree and fell onto the ground, unmoving.
Foxleap looked at Lionblaze with his jaws wide open.
"Y-You just attacked your own Clanmate! You attacked Toadstep to protect this WindClan she-cat!" he sputtered.
Lionblaze didn't shrink down. "He was attacking my mate," he replied smoothly.
Heathertail gaped at Lionblaze. Was he insane? He just revealed everything to this piece of foxdung!
Foxleap had a similar expression on his face. "Mate? What are you talking about?" he spat.
Lionblaze sighed. "You're as bright as an acorn Foxleap. She. Is. My. Mate," mewed Lionblaze saying each word slowly.
Heathertail couldn't help but smile. He was so smart!
Foxleap stared at Lionblaze for a few heartbeats and then a nasty sneer appeared on his face. "I'm so telling (A/N: Has anyone heard of this before? )," he sneered and ran off.
The group was silent for a moment. Then Jayfeather padded over to Toadstep.
"Umm Lionblaze, I think you killed him," he mewed carefully.
Heathertail looked at her mate in shock. To her surprise, he was very calm.
"Well he deserved it," was all he said.
Suddenly, the bushes rustled once more to reveal Foxleap returning with the leader of ThunderClan, Bramblestar.
Bramblestar's eyes were blazing with anger and hurt. "Is it true Lionblaze?" he asked.
Lionblaze nodded. "Yes Bramblestar it is."
Foxleap strutted over to where Toadstep lay. "And it seems as if he killed Toadstep too!" he mewed, with sadness.
Heathertail wanted to strangle the red tom.
"I don't care what you do to me Bramblestar," meowed Lionblaze calmly.
Bramblestar looked at the golden warrior with shock and surprise.
Several long heartbeats passed. Heathertail hoped for exile so they would be able to go with the plan.
"Well… Then Lionblaze, for having a mate from another Clan, and for killing your own Clanmate, you are exiled from ThunderClan forever. You are never to return. You have until the end of the day to get off ThunderClan territory," meowed Bramblestar finally.
"Okay. Let's go Jayfeather!" called Lionblaze. Heathertail was a little surprised that Lionblaze took this so easily. Seriously! Toms!
"W-wait! Jayfeather is leaving too? I never said anything about him!" stammered Bramblestar.
Jayfeather shrugged. "I was involved in this so… Yeah."
Bramblestar stared at the gray tom. "B-but we need a medicine cat!" he blurted out.
Heathertail sighed. Inwardly again. Was the ThunderClan leader really this stupid?
"You have Flowerpetal. She's an excellent medicine cat and she is young. She'll serve her Clan for a long time," replied Jayfeather.
Heathertail was so happy. She was finally going to be with Lionblaze forever.
"Well if we're done chatting about stuff, we'll be leaving now," meowed Lionblaze cheerfully.
And with that, the three cats turned away from the leader and walked out of ThunderClan territory, leaving Bramblestar behind with his jaws open and eyes wide.
Okay! I was going to write some responses to the reviews at the bottom but I was going to post allegiances again, yes yes I know how much you all hate those but those help ME organize for the next chapter because then I know who's dead and who's not. So anyway, I'll post the responses there.
