Untold Lies Chapter 12: Father and Son
This chapter is short for a reason...just a little about how they respond to each other.
"My son!" Horn asked. "I have no son." He said as he took a step into the cave light. His old and ragged ginger pelt told Arrowhead that he hasn't had a good meal in a while. The cat looked like he was on the verge of death but the way he moved told Arrowhead differently.
"No son? You are Liontooth! I know you are!" Arrowhead growled in pain and frustration.
"I am not Liontooth." Horn replied. "How would you know if I was, anyway?"
"Because I have seen..." Arrowhead stopped himself from continuing. "I just do." He answered after thinking it would be best to not tell him. Horn tilted his head. "Can you please help me now?" Arrowhead asked trying to keep his balance.
Horn nodded and said, "Yes, right after you tell me how you found me and what answers you were looking for."
Arrowhead growled. "I'll tell you after you help me. And then you can tell me why you aren't Liontooth."
"Your a spirited cat." Horn commented.
Arrowhead knew he was trying to drag out the conversation as long as he could. Arrowhead purred, "You should meet my friends, especially Lilystorm."
"Friends? Here? They accompanied you here?"
"Of course. We rose an army to fight my brother and reclaim Echoclan." Horn looked at Arrowhead in confusion. "It's a long story."
"Who is currently the leader of Echoclan?" he's starting to get curious, now is my chance
"Spot, a kittypet and former Shadowclan leader." Horn looked even more confused now.
"What about Frostleaf? Isn't she leader now?"
"My brother, Wolfstar killed her. She used to be though. Now she just haunts my dreams at night." Horn opened his mouth but nothing came out. "It's a long story." Arrowhead answered for him. A pause came over them and Arrowhead broke it after a while of staring at each other. "Will you help me now?"
Horn nodded but didn't say anything. He let Arrowhead lean on him and they were swallowed up by shadows. "Will you tell me all that has happened?" Horn asked. Arrowhead nodded and then began from the beginning.
Liontooth knows about his "son" now and one thing is left to do...wait for Arrowhead's friends to bust them out.
