Tawnypelt crouched low as if waiting for the order to attack while Brambleclaw growled and stood over us protectively. "Nightstar, you have no right to accuse us of such a thing!" Bluestar snapped. Tallstar glared at her.
"After everything that tom put us through, you dare shelter him?" he snarled.
"Brokentail is blind and weak." Bluestar said calmly.
"He's still dangerous!" Nightstar spat. I looked around to see the clans bristling. I flattened my ears and unsheathed my claws. Snarls filled the air and the clouds drifted in front of the moon.
"Just give us the order Tallstar and we'll rip them to shreds!" a Windclan warrior snarled.
"Stop!" Yellowfang yowled. "Starclan does not want to see us fight! This is a time of peace!" The clans settled down but tension still filled their gazes. Bluestar glared at Nightstar.
"Brokenstar must be killed!" Tallstar snapped. Nightstar nodded.
"If Brokenstar is not chased out or killed, we'll get the job done for you." he threatened. Then he jumped down from the Great Rock with Tallstar. Bluestar growled and led her clan back to our territory.
"How dare Nightstar call us out like that?" Brambleclaw snarled.
"He can't just boss Thunderclan around like he owns the forest!" Mousefur hissed. The clan was hissing and snarling as we trekked through the forest.
"Enough!" Bluestar snapped. The clan silenced. "I know you are all outraged with Shadowclan. I am too. But we must deal with other important matters!" Mousefur padded up to my side.
"I told you we shouldn't have kept Brokentail in our camp. All he does is just cause trouble." she whispered. I scoffed in agreement.
"Bluestar must be thinking about chasing him out! We can't have war with the clans just because of him!" I murmured. Tigerclaw flicked my ear.
"Hush, Leopardstorm! Bluestar is our leader and we must respect whatever she decides." he scolded. Then he padded to the front. Mousefur rolled her eyes and walked beside me and Tawnypelt as we walked to camp.
We walked into the camp and some cats went straight to their nests while other's went to Bluestar. I followed them. Bluestar looked at the cats gathered around her as they began pressing her with questions and Tigerclaw shoved everyone away. "Give her some space!" he snapped.
"Bluestar, you have to chase that rogue out!" Patchpelt called.
"Why should we? He's our business and the clans shouldn't tell us what to do!" Darkstripe snapped.
"We shouldn't have war over him! Chase him out and let the wild deal with him!" Frostfur retorted. Bluestar looked overwhelmed by all the cats.
"Silence!" she yowled. Everyone quieted down. "I know you all have your concerns about Brokentail and the clans, but we must stay calm. I agree that the clans shouldn't push us around like that but I will not have blood shed over it. Give me some time to think." Everyone nodded and dispersed to their dens. I looked at Bluestar with sympathy. Bluestar caught my gaze and beckoned me to come over. She beckoned Whitestorm and Tigerclaw next. We followed her into her den and sat down. "What do you three think about this?" she asked.
"I agree with the clan. Brokentail must be dealt with." Whitestorm meowed. Tigerclaw flicked his ear.
"Are you scared to fight?" he growled.
"I'm scared to lose more cats in pointless battles!" Whitestorm snapped. I looked at him. "We have to deal with the flood in our territory! Not just fight for a cat who tried to kill us!"
"I agree." I murmured. Bluestar looked at me.
"And why is that?" she asked. I looked at the ground.
"Something's happening among the clans. I don't know what it is but… I can sense it. If we let Brokentail live… everything will be lost. The clans will just fight non stop until he's dead. I suggest we get it over with and go back to living life." I mewed. I looked up at Bluestar and her gaze was narrowed and thoughtful.
"Something happening among the clans… what do you mean?" she asked. I flattened my ears as everyone's eyes were on me.
"It's just a feeling I have… it might be a false alarm so don't worry about it." I meowed. Bluestar shared a look with Whitestorm.
"Alright. I'll think about it tonight and will make the decision tomorrow." Bluestar announced. I nodded and followed Whitestorm and Tigerclaw out of her den. "Leopardstorm. I wish to speak with you." she called. I froze in my tracks and turned around. Bluestar looked at me as I sat down in front of her. "What you said about something happening…"
"Bluestar, it really isn't anything to worry about." I insisted.
"Did you have a dream?" Bluestar asked. I hesitated. I can't tell her about Leopardclan! Well… should I? It is a lot of weight on my shoulders… no. I shouldn't have to make Bluestar worry even more about her clan. I'll have to handle it on my own. I lifted my chin high.
"No, Bluestar." I murmured. Bluestar narrowed her eyes and searched my gaze. I looked at her with a hard expression and struggled not to look away.
"Alright. Then you are dismissed." she meowed. I nodded and padded quickly out the den. Then I made my way to the warriors den. I looked through the entrance and saw the cats sleeping peacefully. I sighed and settled in my nest to sleep.
