Whitespirit - 1) Yup, I have. I'm having some plot issues with "Violetsbane", so that's why. 2) Violet hasn't gone to the Moonstone yet, actually. And the SkyClan cats don't have to take up Clan names if they don't want to. Violet and the leaders before her gave them a choice when they receive their full fighter/healer/mediator ceremony. But if they want to, they'll take a Clan name. I have two or three names planned out for the future. 3) Thanks for the OCs! Once I get a chance, I'll add them in as well.
Notes:
Instead of a Blaze or Wasppaw chapter, this one is told in Violet's point of view! I decided to change things up a bit once again like with Hazel, so I hope you enjoy! And also, this chapter will show more of a better side to Violet.
"Alright, that's enough." Violet meowed, gently pushing Silverfire off of her.
Silverfire tilted his head. "Why?" I love him, but he really needs to pay attention more often.
Violet stretched her legs. "Gotta go to the Moonstone now. SkyClan's leader must receive her nine lives before dark." Almost immediately Silverfire got excited.
"Oooh! Can I come with? Please, Violet?" Silverfire pleaded. I'd love to take him with, but he's not a medicine cat. "I could protect you on the way there!"
Hmm...that is a good excuse to take him with me… Violet thought to herself. But I can't do that. That would displease StarClan. "I'm sorry, Silverfire. As much as I'd love to, I can't take you with." She sighed. And please, for StarClan's sake, don't follow me there either.
Silverfire's tail drooped. "Aw...I really wanted to go with you…"
"Oh, don't be upset. You'll see me soon enough." Violet murmured, gently licking her mate's forehead. "I'll bring something back for you, I promise."
"Promise?" He asked for reassurance.
Violet nuzzled his cheek. "Promise. You can come with me to the medicine den, if you want."
"Yay!" Silverfire cheered. "Let's go!" He ran over to the medicine den without looking, running into Jayson in the process. That's not going to end well.
"Get off of me, you idiot!" Jayson growled at him. Silverfire scrambled to his paws, quickly stepping away from Jayson. "Can't I catch a break from you ramming into me all the time?" He sighed.
"Sorry, bestie!" Silverfire apologized while smiling still. "I didn't see you there!"
Jayson rolled his eyes. "Ugh. Stop calling me 'bestie'." Although Jayson doesn't want to admit it, Silverfire is his best friend. Jayson spotted Violet snickering from behind Silverfire. "No wonder this furball ran into me. Ready for those travelling herbs, Violet?"
Violet nodded. "Yes, and I need a medicine cat with me for the journey. Would you like to come with? Or would you like to spend some more time with your bestie?"
"Stargaze or Holly should be able to come with." Jayson grumbled. Is this his way of saying he wants to hang out with Silverfire today? "I've also gotta stock up on some more borage."
"Can I help?" Silverfire eagerly asked. Yes, that's a good idea. Kill two squirrels with one pounce.
"Yes, you can help." Jayson sighed. "I put your travelling herbs over by my catmint supply. Don't let Blaze touch it. I'm experimenting new ways to store catmint."
"Alright, I'll make sure of that." Violet meowed. "By the way, why do you need more borage? We don't have any she-cat expecting kits at all."
"Um...you might want to rethink that, Violet." Jayson muttered. He flicked his tail towards Twyla, who was just entering camp with Tristan from a hunting patrol. "That one's been expecting for a half moon. No one knew until she came to me after that patrol you sent her on. It's becoming a little obvious."
"Her? Who's the father?" Violet mewed incredulously. My sister expecting kits? I never thought I'd see the day. "She's never been close with any tom in her life."
"Well, she is now." Jayson shrugged his shoulders. "Just take the herbs and go with Stargaze. He's probably in camp. If he's not, take Holly, although she's taking her sunhigh nap." I'm going to have to ask Stargaze, then. I don't want to die today.
Violet padded into the medicine den cautiously. "Stargaze?"
"Stargaze left." Violet turned to see Blaze, who was practicing her memory on herbs nearby her nest. "He went out hunting with Dove." It's nice to hear he made a friend, but now? Seriously?
"And I don't want Holly to kill me today, either…" Violet trailed off. "Blaze, you'll have to come with me to the Moonstone."
"What?" Blaze yelped. "But you said-"
"Listen, Jayson is out bonding with Silverfire, Stargaze is out hunting, and Holly is asleep and unable to take me there. Unless you want her to make a scene, of course…"
"Nevermind. I'll do it." Blaze sighed. Yeah, I doubt she wants that either.
Violet's paws ached as she kept along the path. You wanted to revive SkyClan, you've got to do this. She looked back at Blaze, who was managing to keep up despite her broken leg. She's pretty tough...she might've made a good warrior apprentice instead.
"Violet, do you hear that?" Blaze meowed softly. "It sounds like a battle is going on in WindClan's territory." Violet listened carefully for sounds of battle. Sure enough, they were coming from WindClan.
"I think we should check it out." Violet told Blaze before rushing off towards WindClan.
"V-Violet!" Blaze called after Violet. But Violet could barely hear her now. Where's the battle, then? Soon Violet was able to spot cats fighting on a nearby hill. That must be WindClan and...ShadowClan? What in Silverpelt is going on here?
Violet ran as fast she could go to get to the fighting cats. Soon she was in the middle of them, surrounded by claws. She saw a young, tiny apprentice fighting a fully grown warrior. That's a kit! She realised with a jolt of horror. Violet immediately jumped in front of the mottled brown tom attacking the kitten.
"That is a kitten! Have you no shame?" Violet growled. The tom hissed at her. He swiped for her muzzle, but missed. Violet ducked beneath him and lunged forward jabbing his belly with her forepaw, making sure her claws were sheathed. The mottled tom writhed on the ground wincing in pain. Be thankful I didn't kill you.
Violet growled to herself. This has to end! "STOP IT THIS INSTANT!" All the cats froze to see who was speaking. "What is the meaning of this?!"
"Why are you here, r- I mean, Violet?" Brokenstar hissed. "SkyClan needs to learn to stay on their own side of the border, it seems."
"I was on my way to receive my nine lives, but you got in the way with your unnecessary aggression towards WindClan." Violet answered. "Tell me, why are you attacking WindClan? Surely not to drive them out. That'd be very ignorant of you, Brokenstar."
Brokenstar snarled at the SkyClan leader. "You have no right to know! Stop fighting the other Clans battles for them."
Violet narrowed her amber eyes. "I have every right to know, being a Clan leader."
"Get. Out." Brokenstar snapped before lunging for Violet. He went for Violet's neck, aiming for a killing bite. She quickly side-stepped and yanked his tail with her mouth. She spat it on the ground. He turned around to jump back up; Violet unsheathed her claws and placed her right paw on his throat.
"Don't move." Violet hissed. "Let this be a lesson to you, Brokenstar. If you try to drive out any other Clan again, my Clan is ready to fight. We will not show any mercy next time." She slid her claws deeply into his throat, leaving a large wound in his neck. Violet stepped away from the ShadowClan leader; she had taken one of his lives.
The ShadowClan cats quickly grabbed their leader's body and ran for it. I can't believe he tried to drive out WindClan. Violet noticed Tallstar, leader of WindClan padding up to her.
"Thank you for helping us, Violet." He dipped his head respectfully. "I can tell you will be a strong and fair leader for SkyClan."
Violet nodded. "You're welcome, Tallstar. I shall be taking my leave now. May StarClan light your path." Violet left the moor and caught up with Blaze, who was now at the edge of WindClan territory. Brokenstar, I know you aren't finished with me yet. Once I obtain my nine lives, I'll be waiting for you. Just try me. SkyClan won't go down without a fight.
