Dovesong: The Exiled Savior
Family is the one thing that is always there for you. They support you when you are going through troubled times, and they pick you up when you fall. Without them, problems would seem impossible to solve.
For one unfortunate she-cat, her family can't help her through her problems because they are her problem.
A beautiful white she-cat walked through the WindClan camp. She was about to visit her mother and new brother when Shimmertail walked out of the elders den with her mate.
"Dovesong," she called out to the new warrior. "Shadestar has called a family meeting. You'll be there, right."
The she-cat gritted her teeth together. "I'll be coming. Do you want me to fetch Amberheart and Clawblaze for you?" She responded even though she hated every word.
The elder smiled at her grand daughter. "Would you? You are such a darling Dovesong. No wonder your father gave you such a beautiful name."
Dovesong smiled at Shimmertail. "Well," she smiled. "See you in the badger tunnels for the meeting. I have to get going."
The two elders waved to Dovesong and walked out of camp. "We are going to stretch our old legs," they told the entrance guard who wasn't part of the Moor Family as they called themselves.
Dovesong sent a longing glance to the nursery where her mother, Swanfeather, was nursing young Nightkit. He was the newest addition in the ever growing Moor Family.
She tore her eyes away and poked her head in the heather that made up the entrance. "Clawblaze, Amberheart," she called out. "Shadestar wants you to join me on a patrol."
The two warriors stumbled out of the warrior den and stood beside Dovesong. Amberheart leaned down the tiniest bit to whispered into her ear. "Shadestar called a family meeting, right?" she asked.
Dovesong nodded and the three warriors walked swiftly out of the camp. As soon as they were out of view of the camp, they raced across the open moorland. They didn't stop until they reached the abandoned badger sets that spread underneath the moor grasses.
Honeyfeather was sitting guard making sure anyone not part of the Moor Family couldn't get into the secret family meeting. Stormwash sat behind her, so this meeting must be extra important. The deputy usually never took the time off to attend.
"Amberheart, Clawblaze, and Dovesong. You three are the last ones since Swanfeather can't leave the nursery." said Honeyfeather taking inventory of the family as they were arriving.
When they walked in, they saw Honeyfeather was right. Shadestar was already there with Shimmertail and Mintfur talking quietly to him. Mudsplash the medicine cat was in deep conversation with Adderpaw and Moonpaw. Jayfire and Woodtail were talking like the two love birds they were.
Dovesong saw her father look up from his conversation to see that everyone one had arrived, and Honeyfeather was in the hall. Cat quieted down when they felt his powerful gaze land on them.
"Welcome Moor Family," he called out in a booming, cheerful voice that echoed around the abandoned badger set. The noise seemed to drill its self into Dovesong's ears.
When he was positive that all eyes were firmly on him, he continued his speech. "We have grown strong. Just look at how we rule WindClan. Stormwash is the deputy." He nodded his head in response to recognition. "Mudsplash is the medicine cat."
The brown tom nodded and let out a small smile. "We control what StarClan says to the rest of the Clan." The closer Dovesong looked, the more she could see a devious heart behind that well meaning smile. It seemed so out of place on his kind face.
Shadestar smiled at his medicine cat. "As you can see," he said. "We command WindClan, so why don't we rule the other Clans too. StarClan has chosen us to prosper, and we must do as they say."
This definitely brought some uncontrolled whispering. Dovesong could hear Adderpaw silently muttering to Moonpaw. "We could fight and control the whole forest. We would never have to go hungry again."
"Yes," smiled Moonpaw. "We will be able to give Swanfeather all the food she needs. Nightkit will grow big and strong. He could grow to be the best warrior in the Moor Family." explained Moonpaw. "Except us of course," he added.
The other cats were just as excited as two apprentices. It was only Shadestar's voice that got the crowd to calm down.
"Silence, silence." he shouted over the mass of cats. "We can't have others knowing our plans. It must remain a secret."
"Yes," nodded the mass of cats completely under Shadestar's control. "We must take over the forest because StarClan has shown the Moor Family favor."
Dovesong looked around at her family. They all seemed to be go along with Shadestar's crazy plans for complete forest domination. She opened her mouth to say something, but than closed it quickly. It would be nice to not have to worry about food during the cold leaf-bare.
"How are we going to do it?" shouted out Dovesong to her father. Her voice was chorused by the rest of the family that was curious to know.
Shadestar let out a nervous laugh. "Well," he started. "I'm going to need some volunteers to go on a battle patrol. First we move to ShadowClan."
Frenzied cries of ShadowClan" filled the air. In the confusion, Stormwash the deputy took the center stage.
"I would like some silence." he spoke loud and clear. Even though he spoke no louder than any other cat, Dovesong felt herself drown to his voice. Apparently, the rest of the Family felt the same way because the badger set instantly quieted down.
"We will strike in two attacks. I will lead one and Shadestar will lead the second." Dovesong saw her father cringe at the mention of him being second. She seemed to be the only one to notice as the rest were too drawn into Stormwash's plans.
"I will take Honeyfeather, Jayfire, Adderpaw, and any other WindClan cat that wishes to join. Shadestar gets Woodtail, Dovesong, and Moonpaw." As he announced the patrols, cats moved into group.
Mudsplash let out a shout. "Hey," he cried out. "I'm a perfectly capable warrior too. Poppybreeze taught me how to fight just as well as anyone trained to."
"Very well," sighed Stormwash. "You can join Shadestar's patrol." He looked annoyed that the medicine cat had broken into his perfect speech.
The leader interrupted his deputy to make sure he knew who was in charge. "Thank you for telling everyone my ingenious plans, Stormwash. I want everyone gathered outside the camp entrance at sunrise."
Sensing the meeting was dismissed, Dovesong left the abandoned badger set as quickly as she could. Some small voice in the back of her head told her this just wasn't right.
Unsettled, she walked back to the warriors den to rest her head. As she relaxed, she managed to doze off and settle into a deep sleep.
"Dovesong, Dovesong," cooed as voice inside her ear. "Come to StarClan, come to StarClan." The voice persisted until Dovesong opened her eyes.
Instead of seeing the welcoming sight of her nest in the WindClan warrior den, she saw the bountiful hills and moors of StarClan. She had been here one dream before, on the night where StarClan asked her to be a medicine cat. She never wanted to back here the night after Shadestar denied her dreams.
"It is all right Dovesong," called out the voice. "I'm Poppybreeze, Mudsplash's mentor. I was the one who choose you as our connection to WindClan."
Dovesong opened her mouth to point out that Mudsplash was the connection and she was just a normal warrior, but Poppybreeze interrupted. "You must go to Badgerstar, the ShadowClan leader, to tell him about Shadestar's attack plans. This attack will wipe out most of ShadowClan's warriors if it succeeds. We can't have just three Clans in the forest."
The WindClan warrior nodded. "But won't that kill my father. I can't do that; they are the only family I have."
Poppybreeze sighed. "When have they showed you any loved; Shadestar never visited you when you were a kit. Swanfeather is the only cat you care about, and she is safe in the nursery. More cats will die if you don't act."
Accepting her fate, Dovesong let out a sigh. "Should I go as soon as I get back to the forest?"
Poppybreeze nodded and the scene around Dovesong started to turn black until there was nothing to see. The black started to reside to light, and Dovesong could see the warrior den around her.
Cats were just starting to make their dens and settle in for the night when Dovesong flew out of the camp. The night guard just looked at her flying by and let her past without a problem.
The wind rippled along Dovesong and her breath started to come in short raspy intakes. Her lings were burning for more oxygen, but she knew she couldn't stop. She had to tell Badgerstar as soon as she could, so he could prepare.
Not even bothering to stop at the thunderpath, Dovesong ran on. Not even flinching at the marshy ground beneath her feet, Dovesong ran on. Not even stopping at the entrance to the ShadowClan camp, Dovesong ran on.
She came barreling into the ShadowClan camp exhausted and out of breath. Badgerstar stalked out of his den and looked down upon the lone WindClan warrior. "What are you doing here?" he asked in a none-to-friendly tone.
Pausing only a moment more to catch her breath, she managed to get out her message. "Shadestar is planning to attack you in a two pronged attack just after sunrise. You must sent out patrols that are ready to fight."
Badgerstar looked at the she-cat for a moment than ushered to his deputy. "Petalfrost, why don't you bring the warrior into my den so we can talk about this in more detail."
A beautiful ginger she-cat seemed to melt out of the warrior den. "Follow me young WindClan warrior. Badgerstar doesn't normally speak to outsiders. You must seem important, or you are a very believable liar."
Dovesong obeyed the she-cat and let her lead the way. When they approached the leaders den, Petalfrost branched away, "This is between you and the leader only. I will be waiting outside to escort you back."
Swallowing a lump in her throat, Dovesong walked into the leader's den. The wall themselves seemed to be covered in an odd glowing moss. Badgerstar was silhouetted against the back wall.
"You are Dovesong," started Badgerstar. "The leader's daughter. What makes you come here telling your father's war plans?"
Dovesong gulped and told her story. Only skipping some details about where the meetings were held and what StarClan cat spoke to her. Badgerstar listened closely the entire time, only interrupting to give a mumbled response.
"Yes," he said when she finally finished. "Petalfrost," he shouted. "Gather fifteen of our best warriors and apprentices. We have a battle with WindClan early in the morning."
As Dovesong scurried back to camp, she couldn't help but feel that she had just killed her entire family. Guilt gnawed at her heart as she slept under the open stars, away from the gathering WindClan patrol.
And she did kill her entire family indirectly. The WindClan warriors were outnumbered and no longer held the edge on surprise. Only Dovesong and Nightkit would live to see the next dawn for Swanfeather died from grief. Everyone she loved had died in that fatal attack.
Badgerstar couldn't keep his mouth shut and word leaked out that Dovesong was a traitor. Amberstar, the new leader of WindClan, had Dovesong exiled. She would live without meeting another cat until the newly named Nightheart would come to get his misguided revenge.
At Dovesong's last battle, she would smile at her deceived younger brother and say, "I've never imagined that my one little brother who I spared would become such a strong warrior. But, don't believe everything said about our father. You two both have black pelt. Mine and Mother's is white. The world is not black and white, though. Black is not evil and white is not pure. Lies are found in every Clan: Thunder, Wind, River, and Shadow. With this knowledge, are you ready to show how much you've grown from that little black tuft of fur?"
