Chapter 16

Eaglewing padded out of the warriors den just in time to see Stardream pad back into the camp with her apprentice Jadepaw behind her. "Hey Stardream, over here," Eaglewing called and Stardream turned toward him. She looked at her apprentice and muttered something in his ear. Jadepaw nodded and padded toward the fresh kill pile. He picked up a mouse and padded back to the apprentice den.

Stardream then padded toward Eaglewing. Eaglewing waited for her, with his tail curled over his paws. "So, did you have a nice time training your apprentice?" he asked. Stardream nodded, "of course, we took him on a tour of our territory," she meowed. "If by we, you mean Whitewing and Faithpaw, then I'll have to agree," Eaglewing hissed.

"What are you talking about?" Stardream gasped. "I mean I saw you with Wolfsong," Eaglewing hissed, "last night and I had a feeling you might meet him again today." "Have you been spying on me?" Stardream hissed. "Of course not, I happened to smell a Shadowclan cat on our territory and followed his scent trail to find him talking to you below the Sky Oak," Eaglewing hissed.

"You don't know how much I love him, and how long I've kept my feelings bottled up," Stardream hissed. "Come on, Stardream, you can't always use that excuse," Eaglewing rolled his eyes, "the whole of Sapphireclan could see how much you loved Wolfsong." 'Yeah, and they didn't care, as to we were in the same clan," Stardream hissed. "But it's different now, you two are in different clans, so it is now against the warrior code," Eaglewing hissed.

"Where is Firestar?" Stardream asked, suddenly. "He went on patrol, why?" Eaglewing asked, confused. What is she up to? He thought. "I have to tell him about them," Stardream meowed, as if reading his mind. "What?!" Eaglewing exclaimed, and lowered his voice as several cats turned to look at him.

"I have to warn him, just in case they have decided to track us down, because Thunderclan and Shadowclan are in danger if they come," Stardream whispered. "But, you don't know for sure if they are tracking us," Eaglewing protested. "So," Stardream hissed, "they have made it clear, they want everyone of us dead, and that they'll destroy anything and anyone that gets in their way.'

"So, you feel that you should warn Firestar, just in case they find us, are you mouse brained, they don't even know which way we went, we could be in the Skyclan camp, for all they know," Eaglewing retorted. "Yeah, and what if they do find us? Have you ever thought about that?" Stardream sneered, "I have to warn Firestar, for if they do come, both Shadowclan and Thunderclan are in danger of being washed away just like Sapphireclan."

With that said, Stardream stalked off toward the fresh kill pile. She chose a vole and sat down to eat. After taking a few bites, Stardream heard some noise at the camp entrance. That must be Firestar's patrol returning, she thought, getting to her paws.

Two cats padded into the camp at first and Stardream recognized them as Squirrelflight and Berryfur. "Berryfur, get Leafpool," Squirrelflight ordered as Stardream padded toward them. "What happened?" she asked. "We found a strange injured cat on our territory near the abandoned twoleg nest," Squirrelflight replied, "Firestar and Brambleclaw are helping her get back here."

Stardream was about to reply but broke off as Firestar and Brambleclaw padded into the clearing, with a silver tabby supported between them. Stardream widened her eyes in surprise. Standing between Firestar and Brambleclaw was the cat Stardream had always believed was alive. The cat Angelfeather, Wolfsong and Eaglewing thought was dead. The cat that has been close to Stardream ever since she was born.

Echostar!
