4. Chapter 4

The 3 apprentices stood in shock at the limp corpse of their mother. Spiderpaw walked up to Birchwing and placed his paw on her chest, before looking up and shaking his head. "No..." Flamepaw said...tears trickling down her pelt, "WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR MOTHER?!" she yowled, angrier than ever. Hawkstar and Nightpelt walked up the apprentice, and Foxpaw noticed something horrible, Nightpelt's claw was stained in blood, her mother's blood!

"Your mother refused to kit for me, so I ordered Nightpelt to kill her, and since you kits have her blood, you are all exiled, now go, before you join your mother..." Hawkstar snarled, his claws unsheathed. Foxpaw was shocked, she and her siblings were exiled? She didn't know where to go, where to eat, this couldn't be happening! "GO GET OUT OF OUR TERRITORY!" Hawkstar's voice roared, and the 3 cats ran out of camp, as fast as they could.

As they ran, Foxpaw looked back on the territory she had grown and loved, she made a decision, they needed to go to Windclan for help. Windclan had always helped Thunderclan with their problems, and Foxpaw knew they would accept the 3 in a heartbeat. They stopped near the border separating Thunderclan and Windclan to catch their breathes. "What do we do now?" Her sister asked, her voice shaking. Foxpaw cleared her throat "We need to go to Windclan, It's our only hope.".

Flamepaw and Redpaw looked at Foxpaw with a look that said "Are you kidding me?" when they heard a voice. They quickly jerked back in fear of being spotted by Nightpelt or worse, but, on the other side, was a gray she-cat, a look of concern on her face. "What are you 3 cats doing out here, alone?" She asked, a sweet voice reassuring the 3 cats.

Foxpaw looked at the mysterious she-cat with a look of fear on her face "We were exiled by Hawkstar...for being born by a cat who refused to kit for him...". The she-cat gasped, running to them. "You poor things! Why would Hawkstar do this? Come along, I'm sure Brackenstar will accept you. My name is Silvertail, by the way" Silverear had a weak smile on her face, masking the pain and misery she felt. "We'll come with you. We need a place to sleep for the night anyways" Foxpaw said, prepared to start a new life with her siblings, a new life. Foxpaw felt a warm feeling walking with the she-cat, no longer feeling fear, as they walked into Windclan territory.
