Here you are the next chapter, a little later then I expected.
Banestep's P.O.V.
I looked up from the mouse I was stalking as I was over whelmed by the scent of Flameclan, I turned, and padded to ward the scent, I broke through the undergrowth and gasped, the whole of Flameclan was here, kit's elders, warriors, everyone, "What's going on here?" I mewed loudly, all heads seemed to trun on me, I saw fear flash trough there eyes, "Banestep! Thank Starclan!" A mew came from the mass of cats.
"Goldstreak?" I asked as I saw the black and gold she cat approaching me, "what's going on?" I asked.
"It's Sparkclan! They chased us out of our territory and took Winterstar, Littlefire, and Eagletalon with them! I didn't know what to do so I was hoping Shadyclan could help us." she mewed, "please we need you." she said.
"I can promise anything but-"
"Banestep what in Starclan's name is this?" I me snapped and Venomslash approached me.
"Sparkclan chased us out of our territory!" Goldstreak gasped out.
"Where's Winterstar?" he asked looking around.
"They took her and Eagletalon and Littlefire!" she mewed.
"Are they dead?" he asked.
"I don't know." she mewed.
"Venomslash, stay here while I go get Icefall and Willowfrost." I ordered then turned and ran off, leaving no time for argument.
"Then I decided maybe, you'll help us." Goldstreak mewed, finishing her story to Icefall.
Icefall nodded then turned to us, "What do you think we should do?" she asked Willowfrost and I.
"I don't think we can really do anything fro them, we're still recovering from, Sparkclan's attack on us.." Willowfrost mewed.
"What do you think Venomslash?" Icefall asked turning to me.
"I agree with Willowfrost, there is now way we can sustain two clans' especially in the state we're in. I say we send them away." he stated.
"How can you say that!" I hissed with a glare, "how can you just turn away a clan that could possibly die with out our help?"
"Banestep, we can't just take in another clan, not in the stat we're in, besides, most of these warrior's might not survive, look at them, Flameclan is a lost cause." Willowfrost mewed, Icefall and Venomslash nodded in agreement
"Is that what you say about anything that looks like it can't be fixed, that it's a lost cause? Was that what I was before to you? A lost cause bound to go off track and die off?" I hissed glaring at them.
"Banestep, this is different-" Icefall began.
"No, it's not, I see now, what Shadyclan does, if something seems lost they just give up on it, I was lucky cause there were cat that didn't give up on me, I'm paying it foreword now, I won't give up on them." I hissed.
"Banestep, we can't help them." Icefall mewed insistently.
"It's not the we can't it's that you won't. Hear we are before a dieing clan and we're about to tell then, 'go away we- we can't help you because we believe you're all going to die any way's so just, just go die somewhere else because we don't want to deal with it, go on shoo.' is that what Shadyclan has become? If so the I don't want any part of it." I mewed, a scornful looked in my eye.
"Banestep what are you saying?" Icefall asked.
"I'm saying, if you turn this clan away, then you're also losing my last shreds of hope and respect fro this clan, if you make them leave then I'll make sure all that clan's know what we've become, Icefall, if you make them leave I'm going with them, and I can grantee, that after hearing what I have to say, half the clan will follow me." I hissed with a glare.
"This is ridicules Banestep! We can't help them!" Venomslash snapped.
"Fine have it your way." I whispered the jolted off in the direction of camp.
"Banestep! Get back here!" Icefall mewed then I heard paw steps pounding after me she gave chase, "Banestep if you do this you'll be betraying your clan." she called
"It's no worth being loyal to what this clan's become!" I mewed back.
"Banestep! Please just stop and talk to be, tell me what you think we should do." she called, and with a sigh I stopped and turned to her.
"I think we should let them stay, as long as those who are able do what they can to help." I mewed.
"Banestep, the camp's not big enough for to clans." she reasoned.
"I'll tend to that, ok? Just promise they can stay until we get there territory back." I mewed back, looking her strait in the eye.
After a moment Icefall sighed, "Alright Banestep, they can stay, they sure are lucky you're my deputy." she said. I nodded and together we padded back to Flameclan in silence.
Goldstreak's P.O.V.
I looked up as I heard a rustling in the bushes and Banestep and Icefall slipped out into view, "Venowslash you afre to stay here and assist Banestep, Willowfrost come with me." Icefall mewed the she and Willowfrost left.
"Cat's of Flameclan, Icefall has agreed to let you stay, now will all cats able gather by methose who don't feel they can, as well as elders, kits and queens, stay where you are." Banestep spoke to us loudly so we could all hear. Then cats slowly began to make there way toward him, Metalstain, Duskwhispers, Jayflight, Blackstripe, the rouge Shade, Foxheart, and Eagledive, as well as me all went forward, "Ok, Goldstreak you are to assisted Willowfrost and Sandpaw in treating your clan mates back at Shadyclan's camp, Venomslash, Metalstain, Blackstripe, and Duskwhispers, you are to all hepl your clan mats back to Shadyclan camp, go now, the rest of you come with me." Banestep ordered then, Jayflight, Foxheart, Eagledive and Shade all followed him off into the forest.
Eagledawn's P.O.V.
I looked at my paws in guilt as I sat alone, Spark hadn't asked me to assist in the raidon Flameclan, but the scornful looks Winterstar, Eagletalon and Littlefire had given me, made me feel guilty, "Whats eating at you?" the familiar voice of Spark asked as he approached me and sat next to me.
I shook my head, "I just sort of feel guilty." I mewed.
"Why? You didn't do anything to Flameclan, and you won't have to." he said.
"I know, but still." I mewed to the crimson to beside me.
"Eagledawn they're not even you clan any more, we are, I'm your clan leader, Hawk storm if your medicine cat, and Cyspins your mate." he said, the last statement gave me a weird feeling in my stomach and he said it, Cyspins your mate, I didn't know why it did though, because I care deeply for Cyspin, and I knew I loved him, I just must no be used to it I guess.
"I know, it just.. Hurts to see my old clan hurt like that." I mewed, looking up in to his dark unreadable eyes.
"Eagledawn there was nothing left for you in Flameclan, remember? That's what you told me when we were on our way here when you first joined the clan." he said.
At that thought I felt a sudden weight lift off my heart, "You're right Spark there was nothing left for me, I don't feel guilty any more, thank you!" I mewed and licked him on the cheek before padding back toward camp.
Pretty please with sprinkles on top review and tell me what you think.
