Yay next chapter!
Moonsong's P.O.V.
I paced the clearing of Shadyclan camp, trying to look like I was doing something important. Banestep was putting himself in mortal danger for me! If something happened to him, I'd never be able to live with myself, "Moonsong, if you keep pacing like that, you'll ware a hole in the ground." came a deep voice, I stopped and looked up to see my former mentor Lunarclaw, his eyes brimmed with amusement.
"Uh- yeah I guess you're right, I think I'll take Smokepaw out to hunt…" I said and started to turn away but was called back by Lunarclaw.
"Moonsong, if anythings bothering you, you know you can always talk to me about it." he said.
"I- I know, I guess I'm just a little worried about Sparkclan." I replied, looking down at my paws, then quickly turning and padding away to the apprentices den, and called out Smokepaw.
Banestep's P.O.V.
I let out a hiss of frustration, "This! It! Impossible!" I growled, we'd been searching for a good long time fro a way onto the island, and nothing had come up, and he and I both knew the river was to wide and unlike some cats, we'd never make it to the other side.
"There has tobe a hidden way across. None of the Sparkclan cat were wet when they attacked." Swiftfoot insisted.
I growled, and looked across the river, and spotted something that made me freeze, a dark brown she cat, her pelt glowing with golden flecks in the sunlight, she was with a golden brown she cat, an orange, yellow, and ginger tom, and two younger cats one dark grey tom, and a lighter ginger tom. Amberglasswas with Sparkclan!
Amberglass seemed to be the only one who noticed Swiftfoot and I, she turned to the multi-colored tom and said something to him, he nodded and the patrol moved on, she turned back to us, then started down stream signaling for him to follow her. They padded until the came to a part of the river that was thinner, she sat down at the waters edge, "Banepaw? Why are you here?" she called.
"Banestepnow, and we're trying to find a missing cat. We know Sparkclan has her." I called to her.
"Who is that?" Swiftfoot asked me.
"Her names Amberglass, I met her on the journey to the sunherb place with Tinystorm, Goldstreak, and Cometstreak. She helped us find the herb." I explained to him.
"I can't help you." she said flatly.
"I didn't expect you to, and I also expect you'll report us to Sparkstar." I responed, a hint of spite in my voice.
"Sorry Banestep, I have loyalties now, Sparkclan mean everything to me now, I'm not going to put at risk, not even for you." she called, as she said this, another cat slipped out of the shadows, a blue grey tom, with black eyes.
"Amberglass? Whats going on here?" he questioned.
Amberglass gasped and whipped around, dipping her head low upon see who it was, "Bluewhisker! I was just…" she trailed off.
The tom known as Bluewhisker looked a me and Swiftfoot, I guess he was most likely deputy of something like that, "I am Bluewhisker, brother of Sparkstar, warrior of Sparkclan. Who might you be?" he asked. He was Sparkstar's brother, no wonder he was so respected.
Swiftfoot spoke up first, "I am Swiftfoot, warrior of Dustclan." he called
I stared for a second, "I am Banestep, deputy of Shadyclan." I called, the blue grey tom's ears pricked.
"Why do you come here?" he asked, tilting his head slightly.
"We are seeking a stolen warrior of Dustclan." I called.
"A warrior of Dustclan, we have only four Dustclan cats, can you be sure the cat you seek is not dead?" he asked.
"We know she's not dead." Swiftfoot called back.
"A she cat? We have plenty of them," Came another mew, as two more cats enter the clearing, a tortoiseshell she cat, and a blood red tom, with dark grey eyes, Sparkstar, I realized instantly. I felt Swiftfoot tense beside me, Sparkstar smirked, "tell me, just who are you two? I am Spark, brother of Cyspin, Shadow, Glaze and Sleek, leader of Sparkclan" he asked.
I forced myself to stare him in the eye, "I am Banestep, son for Spiralstar, deputy of Shadyclan." I called. The sinister tom across the river pricked his ears.
"You are a son of Spiralstar, then you are kin of my kits. Tell me what she cat do you seek." he asked.
I was taken back for a second, then forced myself to speak, "We seek a she cat know a Cometstreak, a sil-" Sparkstar cut me off.
"A silver she cat with a golden streak running from her nose to her flank, with orange over blue eyes." he said, reciting Cometstreak's description perfectly.
"That's her." I responded.
"I will tell you this, she is alive and well." Sparkstar responded.
"Why'd you take her!" Swiftfoot demanded. Sparkstar stared at him, giving him a look at if he'd seen him before.
"That would be none of your business." he stated, then with a flick of his tail, turned and left the other following. As Sparkstar turned I noticed a huge gouge in the side of his neck, and another along his flank, they look like they could have taken life, and they looked new. I shuttered, realizing that Sparkstar somehow could live through fatal wounds.
Spark's P.O.V.
I smirked as I padded away from the river, so that was Spiralstar's son, interesting, "Spark." Cyspin called me out of my thoughts.
"Yes?" I asked, looking at my black eyed brother.
"Shall we do anything about those two? Or perhaps put the she cat they want under heavier guarding?" he asked, I shook my head.
"They won't find the secretepass, but I d want the she cat moved into camp, I believe the nursery would be suitable." I said, Cyspin nodded and together with Amberglass, they headed off.
"Why the nursery?" Sabriel asked as the two cats disopeared from sight.
"Because she's expecting kits." I responded.
"How do you know?" she asked.
I shrugged, "Hawkstorm told me." I responded.
She looked at me, "You're lieing to me." she stated.
"I glanced at her, "How do you know?" I asked.
"Because I do. Now how do you know she's expecting kits?" she asked.
I looked at her in amusement, "Because I do." I stated. Sabriel let out a huff and rolled her eyes as we entered camp.
