Here is the updated version of Chapter 4 of Greystar's Destiny and I fix a couple of errors and added on a tad bit
same as always I do not own warriors and the rest is mine, if I'm using someone elses character or something I will give the rights to the owner
The entire clan froze and stared at the young tom who had just entered their camp. After a few heartbeats some of the cats looked ready to finish off the young tabby. He stared at them with pleading eyes that clearly asked for help.
"How dare you trespass into our camp you SmokeClan scum, then barge into our camp!" Snarled Shatteredpelt, with his grey fur bristling.
"I-I" The young tabby started.
"Maybe his own Clan did that to him. After all look at his strange eyes" Pinestorm huffed.
"Either way we don't want him, get out of here, you SmokeClan vermin!" Hissed Ryestorm.
Greykit not believe his ears as the deputy, his father, Runningkit and Frostkit's father all spat angrily at the young tom. He could see shock on his brother's face as well as Runningkit's. While Frostkit's showed outrage at the comments at the poor young tom.
"You heard him, get out of here!" Pinestorm snarled looking ready to lunge at the young tabby tom.
"W-what are you doing?! Can't you see he's injured and came here for help?" Frostkit suddenly hissed.
"Why should we help him? He's not of our Clan" Pinestorm snapped at Frostkit.
"So why would that matter? He's injured, and what if who ever hurt him comes for us!" Frostkit hissed back at the deputy.
"Kit, don't you understand the warrior code at all, he's not of our Clan, so he is not our problem" Pinestorm snapped.
"So you are saying a future medicine cat is not allowed to heal an injured cat?" Blackkit meowed confused.
"That is not what I meant Blackkit and you know it!" Pinestorm growled looking really annoyed.
"But he wasn't talking as a warrior but a medicine cat, and those two codes are different from each other, especially regarding cats from different clans and outside the clans.. Or is everything I know about the warrior code a lie?" Blackkit meowed stand taller with a determined look in his soft yellow-amber eyes.
"Sto-" He broke off as he was interrupted by the small tabby.
"P-please, help my Clan.. S-StoneClan is a-attacking the camp.. T-they are after the nursery.. S-Skystar s-sent me t-to g-get h-he-help" The tabby stammered shrinking to the ground.
"Wait, they were going for the nursery! In StarClan's name what are those fox-hearted rogues up to! Pepperstar we can't just stand by and let StoneClan get away with whatever they are planning! Anyways they've caused more pain for all the Clans than SmokeClan has done to us in the past.." Icythorn meowed before anyone else could speak.
"I hear you.. And just because he isn't part of this clan doesn't mean we can't help.. Anyways I fear what Rosestar could be planning if their main attack is the nursery, and I have a strong feeling that they are not stealing the kits.. You there tell me your name" Pepperstar meowed turning to the tabby tom whose eyes were still filled with fear.
"R-Riverpaw.." He mewed.
"Icythorn, go and get Riverpaw here patched up so we can return him to his Clan soon as possible in the best shape we can offer.. Pinestorm you will be in charge of camp, and I expect you to assign the remaining warriors who are free to guard each of the dens as well as camp.. Ryestorm, Hollypaw, Shatteredpelt, Bramblepaw, Mintwhisker, Scarletflower, and Stormpaw will come with me to go assist SmokeClan against StoneClan at once, Robinsong, you will guard the entrance and start you vigil at once." Pepperstar ordered.
Within heartbeats all the cats he had called for the battle followed Pepperstar out of camp. Icythorn escorted Riverpaw to her den while Shadowstorm had the four of them head back to the nursery quickly.
Lillysun and Shadowstorm both were guarding the nursery from the inside. They had all the kits hide in the back of the den with Amberbreeze and Tinymoon. The den itself was quiet.
Greykit had no idea what was even going on anymore. What had Pepperstar even meant by all of that? Even so somehow they all knew to settle down for the night and hope for the best while being quiet as possible.
It was around dawn when the whole clan became alive once more. One reason because everyone had to be kicked out of the den except Tinymoon's kitting had started, though Icythorn let Frostkit stay because it had became extremely clear that he would be her apprentice. The other reason was that Pepperstar and his battle patrol had finally came back.
"How did it go?" Greykit heard his mother ask.
"No good…" Pepperstar meowed shaking his head.
"How bad was it?" Lillysun asked.
"Bad.." his father meowed shaking his head clearly not wanting to think of what he saw.
"Pepperstar, just how bad was it?" Pinestorm asked.
"They were truly rouges not clan cats.. They were able to kill all but one of SmokeClan's kits.. They killed most of the apprentices, even Cherryblossom's apprentice.. They were acting as SmokeClan had once in the past, even our clan had somewhat acted as rouges during that time in the past.. Yet never once was a medicine cat apprentice or kit murder in cold blood.. They are worse than rogues, no cat would want to do that much damage and go without regard to the warrior code to that high of a degree .." Pepperstar meowed clearly upset about the whole thing.
"They killed a medicine cat apprentice as well as a kittens!" Icythorn hissed poping her head out of the nursery.
"Yes... Rosestar was not kidding when she said she'll find a way to force the clans to see things her way…"Pepperstar meowed continuing shaking his head.
"This is why I hate StoneClan cats more than trespassing rouges.. Not sure if I hate them more than foxes or dogs though.." Icythorn meowed.
"How's Tinymoon's kitting, though?" Pepperstar meowed looking at her.
"It went well, can we just break the apprentice code for Frostkit, so he can officially become my apprentice right now?" Icythorn asked.
"No, he become an apprentice with his sister, as well as Blackkit and Greykit, since they were born all on the same day" Pepperstar meowed.
"Fine be that way.. Tinymoon had a tom and a she-cat to let you all know.. Also Skystar is going to have to wait a few more days till his apprentice is well enough to travel back to SmokeClan.." Icysthorn meowed stepping out of the nursery with Frostkit following her.
"Wait are you saying Riverpaw is his new apprentice?" Pepperstar meowed shocked.
"Yes.. Now Pepperstar can you start being more careful, you're not in the prime of your youth anymore.." Icythorn meowed.
"Why in the name of StarClan would I do that anyways, anyways Skystar is older than me still has an apprentice.. And if I did that who knows what Rosestar will start thinking she'll be able to do to my clan.. Well I'm going to my den to take a nap, I expect patrols to be sent out as normal.." Pepperstar meowed before going to his den.
"Can we please meet Riverpaw and talk to him before he has to leave?" Frostkit asked the queens once again.
"Can we please because I'm getting tired of counting how many times he has asked the same thing over and over again" Greykit meowed.
"Yes, or do you want Blackkit to go pester Pepperstar or some other poor cat on the history of the clans and the most recent battle" Runningkit meowed.
"Hey I was not asking cats about the most recent battle! And can we please, I want to learn more about the other clans, so I don't cause a fight at a gathering" Blackkit pleaded.
"No, and when will you four stop pestering us?!" Shadowstorm snapped.
"Not till you allow us, or we find something more interesting to pester you about" Blackkit meowed looking cute with his big round yellow amber orbs.
"I will not fall to your cuteness anymore, Blackkit.." Shadowstorm meowed stubbornly.
"You know, if that fails, he'll find a way around it seeing how he was winning the argument against the deputy" Runninkit pointed out.
"Anyways, I promised Icythorn I'd help her organize her herbs" Frostkit meowed.
"Please, we promise we'll behave" Greykit added.
"This is what happens when I get stuck watching all four of you.. No I don't care, you will not go and talk to Riverpaw, or go pester Icythorn" Shadostorm meowed firmly.
"You know we aren't going to give any time soon, so just let us go.. I promise we won't cause any trouble and if we do we will help out with the apprentice chores and take care with the elders till we are apprentice, then our mentors can deal with the four of us" Blackkit meowed looking into his mother's eyes.
"Fine.." Shadowstorm meowed finally giving into the four kittens wishes.
"So why do you four want to even talk to me.. I get that some of you stood up to me, but still we are from rival Clans.." The odd eyed apprentice meowed.
"What part of I'm going to be a medicine cat do some cats not understand?" Frostkit muttered before walking over to Icythorn to go help her finish organizing her herbs.
"Because I don't understand why my Clanmates had to act like that when you were clearly came for help and nothing else.." Blackkit meowed.
"That is not much of a reason.." Riverpaw breathed.
"Even so our Clanmates had no right to say the things they did.. And if I was leader I would of came up to you at once and asked why you came all the way to our camp as well call my brother and any other medicine cat because you were injured.. Anyways I don't see why it is wrong for your eyes to look like that.. I think it is unique and cool.." Runningkit meowed.
"I think you're the only cat who've I met that thinks my eyes are cool.. Most of the cats in my clan claim I'm just some kittypet born into them by mistake.." Rainpaw meowed.
"So what did happen that day.." Blackkit asked suddenly.
"Oh you mean the day I came here for help.. Well I just became an apprentice that day, and the clan was settling down for the evening when we heard the a blood curdling screech from the medicine cat apprentice Flowerpaw.. Before we could realize what just happened she was dead beneath Rosestar's paws.. Then that treacherous she-cat ordered her clan to attack and to kill every single kit SmokeClan had.. Somewhere in the chaos Skystar told me to run, while yelling at the clan to make sure they can protect the queens and the kits.."
"That must of been terrible" Greykit, Runningkit, and Blackkit meowed in unison.
"Enough, talking.. It's time for me to take Riverpaw home" Icythorn meowed.
Bramblepaw is the other cat who is one of the 'paws' who will be training with the rest
btw only 1 kit is currently in SmokeClan and that is Ravenkit, she will appear sometime later
feel free to review
