Chapter 5
Eaglewing saw Stardream collapse and ran even faster. He sat down beside Stardream and nudged her. But she wouldn't move, and her breathing was slow and irregular. Eaglewing glanced around fearfully and began to lick Stardream's wound. "Oh, please Stardream, wake up," Eaglewing panted, he was bleeding from a wound along his flank and he was terribly tired. But he continued to sit there, licking Stardream's wound. Suddenly the bushes rustled and a dark brown cat padded out into the clearing. Eaglewing glanced up, and instantly put himself between the new cat and Stardream's body. A brown she cat followed the dark brown tom out, a small pale tabby and a fluffy white tom followed them out.
"Who are you and what are you doing on Thunderclan territory?" the dark brown tom hissed. The pale tabby took a step forward and looked at Eaglewing. Then she padded past him and looked at Stardream lying behind him. Eaglewing instantly hissed and put himself in between of Stardream's body and the pale tabby. The pale tabby glanced fearfully at Eaglewing and took a few steps back. "Topazpaw, you should know not to go near strange cats," the dark brown cat meowed. "I know, Brambleclaw," the cat called Topazpaw meowed, "but that cat is injured, and it looks bad."
Eaglewing glared at Topazpaw and transferred his gaze to the cat called Brambleclaw. Brambleclaw took a few steps forward and meowed, "again, who are you?" "I am Eaglewing," Eaglewing meowed, and looked toward Stardream's body, "and this is Stardream." Brambleclaw nodded, "what are you doing on our territory?" he asked, though his voice went gentle. "Stardream and I, as well as our other two friends go ambushed by three foxes," Eaglewing replied, "thats how Stardream got wounded." "We got separated from our friends and I ran after Stardream, she had just collapsed when I spotted her and I don't know what to do," Eaglewing went on.
The fluffy white tom sniffed Eaglewing and meowed, "where do you come from?" "We used to live in a forest near the sun drown place," Eaglewing meowed. "Used to?" Brambleclaw asked in confusion. Eaglewing nodded, "I-It was destroyed in a h-horrible f-fire that t-took out whole c-clan, except f-for us," he stammered, his amber eyes fresh with pain and sadness. "Clan?" the fluffy white tom asked in confusion. Eaglewing nodded, "yeah, a clan," he meowed. "What clan?" the small brown she cat asked. "It was known as Sapphireclan," Eaglewing replied, "we used to follow Starclan and we were the sixth clan of the forest, well seventh if you count Starclan." "I always thought there was only five clans in the forest," Brambleclaw murmured.
"Five clans? What are you talking about? There have always been four clans," the small brown she cat meowed. "Didn't Firestar ever tell you about the time he went to go rebuild the fifth clan of the forest?" Brambleclaw asked. "Yeah, but I thought it was just a story," the brown she cat mewed. "It wasn't a story, apparently there are seven clans in the forest now," Brambleclaw murmured. "There are only six now," Eaglewing muttered, his eyes alit with grief. Brambleclaw turned back to him. "What do you mean?" he asked. "I mean, the whole of Sapphireclan has been wiped out, Stardream, Angelfeather, Wolfsong and I are the only living members left," Eaglewing meowed, somberly.
