Chapter Nine

"Oh, Snowkit please...be okay I-" Frostkit's desperate voice wakes Snowkit and he blinks open his green eyes gazing around. He's in a feather linned mossy nest, but he's not in camp. Not RiverClan camp, nor ThunderClan camp. Though Frostkit is beside him, her pure white fur pressed against Snowkit's own white coat. He shifts a little away from her, trying not to be noticed. He doesn't want Frostkit or any other cat for that matter bothering him with empty words like: Oh Snowkit I'm glad your okay! And then the next day completely ignoring him. Of course his wish is not granted as Frostkit lifts her head, her blue eyes widening in shock at the sight of Snowkit awake. She leaps to her paws, "Snowkit!" she exclaims happily. She cranes her head forward to lick his ear but Snowkit pulls away, Frostkit's eyes glitter with hurt. Snowkit tries not to stare up at her sleek glossy coat and her beautiful blue eyes, so instead he looks down at his paws. "Snowkit are you all right?" Frostkit questions her voice soft, Snowkit's green eyes blaze.

"No, I'm not! I fell into the gorge for StarClan's sake! How am I even alive and Lightkit..." he trails of unable to think about the tan she-kit that had fallen into the gorge with him. There's no way she's alive...no hope...he blinks back tears and straightens. Looking around, "Where are we?" he asks.

"Just a bit away from Sunningrocks, Lionstar thought it would be best if you were away from RiverClan camp and where ThunderClan is staying for a little while." she exclaims, Snowkit closes his eyes shuddering as he remembers the smoke that had engulfed his Clan leader just a few sunrises ago.

"Lionstar...is he alright?" Snowkit manages to murmur, Frostkit's blue eyes show no expression as she nods.

"Yes, he just lost a life." she explains calmly though the tone of her voice hints she doesn't really care about ThunderClan's leader. This makes Snowkit made but at the same time calm, why should she? He thinks, after all she's RiverClan and ThunderClan isn't her business! Shaking off the thought Snowkit gets steadily to his paws, surprised how much stronger they've gotten. Even though he fell into the gorge, though his legs have become much stronger than they were after his tumble into the ThunderClan hollow their still only about as strong as two to three moon old kit. "Snowkit where are you going?" Frostkit asks, Snowkit spins towards the RiverClan she-kit.

"That's none of your business," he growls. Adding, "Your RiverClan!" before storming away from his mossy nest and towards where he guesses is Sunningrocks. Loud meows are coming from their and he can see footprints in the sandy ground. He places a paw into one of an older cats paw prints, why can't I be that big? He wonders longingly.

To caught up in his thoughts Snowkit crashes right into Sorrelpaw!

"Snowkit! I was just coming to see you!" Sorrelpaw purrs, Snowkit scans the brown and white she-cat looking for any sigh of lie in her voice. He can sense none, Sorrelpaw actually wants to see him! Shes ThunderClan...Snowkit can't help but think as he gazes into her blue eyes.

"How's the Clan?" he mumbles, Sorrelpaw flicks her tail.

"We'll survive, though many cats have been injured, none have died. Except of course, Lionstar lost a life and Cloudfoot-well you'd better come and see for yourself." she murmurs quietly, Snowkit's fur pricks. Cloudfoot can't be dying...can he? Closing his eyes Snowkit remembers just how old Cloudfoot is, his daughter is a senior warrior who has her own kits. His mate Raindapple died moons ago, he was a warrior when Lionstar was just an apprentice!

"Is he-?" Snowkit chokes back tears, though he barely knows the old cat Cloudfoot had been the one to tell him stories when he was little. To rise his spirits when he was feeling down and to even put the idea into his head to go to the gathering as a kit!

"Tinyleaf, Spottedpaw and even Waterwish and her apprentice, Leafpaw are with him but...StarClan's calling," Sorrelpaw murmurs faintly as they reach Sunningrocks. Snowkit looks around, under normal circumstances he would he amazed and excited to be on Sunningrocks but now...well Lightkit's dead and Cloudfoot is mere seconds from StarClan.

"Can I see him?" Snowkit asks, Sorrelpaw nods leading Snowkit towards a small cave near the edge of Sunningrocks.

"He's in there," she meows sadly. Snowkit glances at her, opening his mouth to ask if she's coming but Sorrelpaw shakes her head. "I've already seen him," she explains. Snowkit nods unable to speak before warily entering the small cave.

Tinyleaf and Waterwish are bent over Cloudfoot's crumpled shape while Spottedpaw and brown tabby tom who Snowkit figures must be Leafpaw, Waterwish's apprentice are making poultices. Spottedpaw looks up as Snowkit enters the den,

"Snowkit, your alive! I can't believe it!" Spottedpaw exclaims rushing towards him. Snowkit blinks sadly at the brown and white tom. "Tinyleaf! Waterwish! Snowkit's alive!" Spottedpaw calls, the two medicine cats turn their heads. Tinyleaf looks surprised but Waterwish just nods.

"I know, Copperfur, Amberheart and Redpaw pulled him and Lightkit from the gorge right before they fell," she meows. Snowkit sighs, but Lightkit didn't make it...he thinks sadly. Shaking out his fur,

"Cloudfoot?" he pads forward. The old elder raises his head,

"Snowkit," he rasps. Tinyleaf sighs,

"I'll leave you to be. StarClan will take Cloudfoot in a little while, there's nothing more we can do, come Spottedpaw." she meows, exiting the cave. Waterwish, Leafpaw and Spottedpaw follows her, Snowkit looks at Cloudfoot.

"Cloudfoot...don't die..." he begs, Cloudfoot laughs.

"StarClan is calling me young one, and boy am I excited to see my Clanmates again!" he exclaims. Snowkit pushes his nose into the elders fur. He stays like that for what seems like moons, Cloudfoot's breathing slowly fades. He's dead...Snowkit thinks sadly but Cloudfoot's tail tip twitches and his eyes flicker open.

"Snowkit keep Lightkit save for me..." he rasps before taking one final breath. Snowkit cries not caring who sees him, Cloudfoot didn't even know his granddaughter died! He thinks sadly,

"What were his last words?" Tinyleaf asks padding into the cave. Snowkit blinks back tears,

"He told me...he told me to, to keep Lightkit save...he didn't know she was dead..." he sobs. Tinyleaf frowns cocking her head to one side.

"Snowkit, what do you mean? Lightkit's not dead." Snowkit stares at the medicine cat in awe.

"WHAT!" he exclaims, Tinyleaf's tail twitches.

"Lightkit's back in RiverClan's camp, near death but Waterwish thinks she'll survive." she explains, Snowkit frowns. Why did Frostkit lie to me? Why didn't she want me to know Lightkit was alive?
