Watch Duty
Sorry for the update thing again. My computer sucks. Well, here's the next long awaited chapter of Eclipse.
"Take over? Impossible." Moondust snorted. "Just as impossible as Sunclan going cold and Borderclan choosing sides."
"And what in Starclan is firesight?" Branchfur agreed. "Preposterous."
""Look, you frinkin' cats! Seven cats, the shady bunch who live in Moonclan, and you all know that Ashclaw's niece is yoiks." Topaz screeched.
"Let's just listen." Streampaw reasoned.
"Yes, thank you. Look Moondust, maybe you should scurry back on to your clan to see what's up, while these youngin's wait for Clawpelt & Graycloud of Borderclan and Brightwhisker from Sunplace or whatever." The Great Horned bobbed her huge head. Moondust nodded and ran back towards camp.
As she walked through the entrance of Stormclan, an unfamiliar scent drifted to her nose. An orange and yellow blur leaped from a branch, grabbing the young medicine cat by the scruff of her neck, taking off in the direction that she had just come from.
"Moondust, what are you doing back so soon?!" the orange cat, Honeypaw, now Honeycloud, hissed.
"First what happened?" the medicine cat growled from deep in her throat.
"These seven crazy Moonclan cats attacked camp without warning. They.. killed Stormstar!" Honeycloud choked out. "D-did Starclan send a send a sign?"
"No dear, not yet. I was just on my way. I would be delighted if you would accompany me, as an escort. I'm sure that's what Stormstar would have wanted." Moondust nodded soothingly as they crossed the Moonclan border. Seven cats...
"What's he doing here?!" Honeycloud demanded as they walked up to the small group, indicating to the smug looking Ashclaw standing next to Streampaw.
"Nice to see you again, eh Honeypaw?" Ashclaw whistled. The two had many squabbles in the past, one in which, her the one being the one on patrol on the fateful night when he and Snowfur met Topaz. The Stormclan she- cat responded with a fierce clwing to his muzzle. "Ooh, fiesty."
"Shut up! " Topaz hooted, spreading her large wings to separate the two. "I thought that on trip, you might want some backup, and Ashclaw was one of the only ones awake. Brightwhisker, Clawpelt, Graycloud, say hello 'cause I have to heal up. I'm almost healed, but you cant be to careful. Hurry!" Topaz gave Ashclaw and Honeypaw a complimentary shove, "Good luck! We're all counting on ya!"
"I can't believe I'm stuck on guard duty with a pervert like you." Honeycloud growled. After the medicine cats disappeared into the area that was the Moonpool, the two other cats had to stand guard. "And my name isn't Honeypaw anymore. I'm a warrior now. Honeycloud."
'A warrior with such a sweet cushy name... that's cute." Ashclaw flicked his tail in annoyance. Honeycloud was one she- cat that resisted his charm. She was the only cat that didn't fall head over heels in love with him. Once again, he tried to warm her up to him as he nuzzled her shoulder. "You know, you can't resist me. No one can."
"Tck, no one except me." She sneered, clawing him in the jaw. "My patrol saw you and that sissy Snowfur on our territory that night, probably to shmooze some innocent apprentice."
"I can tell you that she isn't so innocent, and not an apprentice." Ashclaw sniggered, indicating to once Honeypaw.
"Wha-?!"
"Hey, hey! I was kidding! It's not like I randomly feel up kits though, y'know?" Ashclaw laughed even harder"
"Hmph. I doubt it. Look, I'm going to take a nap. If you try anything, I'll make crowfood out of you."
Yep. Yet another chapter complete. By the way, Ashclaw's my favorite character, but I'm not sure what you all think...? Honeycloud is my least favorite. My friend ,Moondust540, came up with all the Stormclan cats. Well, read and review! To-To Noshibwa
