Chapter 11: Feathers and Fire Sparking a Plan
A/n Hai: 3 Sorry, short chapter again! I really need to stop doing that! I'm just excited to update my fanfictions, so X3 who can blame me?
Enjoy mah storeh! Meow. Warriors doesn't belong to me, sadly, if it did, Feathertail, Silverstream, Spottedleaf, Yellowfang, Bluestar and all those other cats wouldn't have dis. Except for Tigerstar. Go to Dark Forest, Tigerstar! Sorry, that was uncalled for. In fact, he might have been an epic warrior if it wasn't for Thistleclaw. He's a Meany, I mean, how dare he make Tigerpaw fight a little cute kittypet! It was actually Tigerpaw and Thistleclaw's fault Scourge ends up the way he was. I'm babbling. Mah friend is coming over, so we can play warriors! (A.K.A trash the lounge room and turn it into the ThunderClan camp) XD CAN'T WAIT!
I look up from my squirrel as Lionblaze pads over. "Do you remember Sol?"
I tilt my head to one side. "Of course. Why?"
Lionblaze sat down. "Hollyleaf and I overheard some ShadowClan warriors, they were arguing about trusting Sol. From what I heard, it sounds like Sol had decided to stay in ShadowClan after he came here. I wonder what he's up to."
I get up straight away. "I thought we got rid of him already!"
"Hey, where are you going?" Lionblaze calls to me as I head to Firestar's den.
My mew travels through the bracken to the leader's den. "Firestar?"
I heard moss rustle, then his clear voice. "Come in,"
I duck into the den to see Firestar sitting in his moss, Sandstorm is grooming him. She glances at me for a second, before getting up. "I'll go get something from the fresh-kill pile for you, Firestar." She murmurs.
The leader watches her leave the den, and then he looks at me. "What is wrong, Featherpaw?"
I look at the ground, suddenly aware that I have been quite involved with everything. "Umm, Lionblaze said he and Hollyleaf overheard ShadowClan cats talking about Sol being in the Clan."
Firestar's ears pricks up in surprise as I continue.
"Sol has convinced Blackstar to lose faith in StarClan. H-he won't want to go to the Gatherings anymore; they will stop following the Warrior Code."
Firestar raises an eyebrow. "How do you know about all of this? You weren't on the border patrol, were you?"
I shake my head. "No, Firestar. But Lionblaze said he overheard all of this."
Firestar narrows his eyes. "I find it hard to believe ShadowClan warriors would even talk about so much information so close to the borders of another Clan."
He leans forward. "Why didn't Lionblaze or Hollyleaf come to tell me this?"
I blink, pretending to look clueless. "I don't know, maybe they thought it wasn't a big deal?"
"It's a very big deal, Featherpaw. Losing trust in StarClan is bad; it's normally the first sign of independence, living like rogues, and for a Clan leader to do that? He would be leading his whole Clan away from their heritage, their religion."
I shrug. "I know StarClan does things for you, but just because some of you don't believe in StarClan, doesn't automatically mean they aren't trying to take care of their Clans, and that they are going to end up going to the Dark Forest."
Firestar nods slowly. "I understand, you mustn't believe in StarClan, and you're right, in some ways."
I step forward, eyes wide. "I do believe in StarClan! Blackstar must continue to trust them, and follow the Warrior Code. I know how to do this, please let me try it."
"And what is your plan exactly?"
"I want to take Jaypaw, Hollyleaf and Lionblaze with me to ShadowClan; we don't have much time before some warriors might decide they don't want to stay in their Clan anymore. I want to go tonight, near dusk if possible. We need to make Blackstar believe StarClan has not turns their backs on us, they didn't make the sun disappear on purpose."
Firestar frowns. "How are you going to do that? How can you be sure StarClan is going to be there at the right time for Blackstar?"
"I want to make it look like a tree falls on purpose when Blackstar says he doesn't believe in StarClan."
"Are you sure that's going to work?"
I begin to exit the den. "It has to; otherwise, ShadowClan won't be much of a Clan anymore."
