Chapter 12: A Quest

Stormwave had stayed up all night because of what had happened with him and Cloudstar. He wouldn't leave the den or talk to any cat that came by. Honeywing had woken up and went towards him and sat down next to him. His ears were flattened against his head and he looked down onto the warm earth. Honeywing brushed her fur against her brother and purred

"Don't worry Stormwave. You'll get over it." she said. Stormwave moved away from her a bit and turned his back to her

"No it won't. For the first time ever I feel ashamed that I'm even in this Clan. I wish I was never born." he muttered. Honeywing moved towards him again and licked his ear

"Don't say things like that. It'll just make it worse."

"What is there to talk about when everything is becoming worse and worse as we speak. First Gingerkit dies. Then Sagetail leaves and now I think I don't belong in this Clan?"

Honeywing shook her head

"You have every right to be in this Clan. You have great friends and cats you can count on when you need help. I think you should apologize to-"

"Don't ever say his name! He's the one who is supposed to apologize. Not me!" he spat and snarled and hissed at Honeywing. Honeywing winced and flattened her ears and shrunk back

"Stormwave...You're becoming a monster." Stormwave gasped and looked down on his paws

"I-I'm sorry Honeywing..." suddenly they heard loud footsteps coming from the den entrance. And Honeywing gasped

"Cloudstar!" she said and dipped her head. Cloudstar gave her a nod and looked guiltily at Stormwave

"I thought about what you said yesterday. And I want I want to apologize for what I've said to you. And I feel guilty about Sagetail leaving so I'm giving you a choice. You, Honeywing, Rainstorm and Silverstripe will make the choice." he started

Stormwave pricked his ears but kept his head down, "I am going to send you on a quest to find Sagetail and his sister if she went with him, and bring them back. Now this is your decision. You can go look for him, or you can choose to stay." Stormwave looked up and smiled happily at his leader and dipped his head

"Thank you, Cloudstar! We'll go for sure!" he said. Cloudstar gave him a nod

"Very well. You can decide when to leave also. I won't stop you no matter what." Cloudstar replied and he turned around and left the den. Stormwave and Honeywing looked at each other happily

"We need to tell Rainstorm and Silverstripe!" said Honeywing. Stormwave nodded and they both went to where Rainstorm and Silverstripe were sleeping and told them what Cloudstar had said and they looked surprisingly at them

"Really? That's great! Then it's already decided, that we will all go right away!" said Silverstripe. Rainstorm nodded in agreement and Honeywing smiled

"Well then. Let's get some herbs and stuff from Rabbitpaw and we'll leave right after."

Ooh! A quest! Please review! I know it's a short chapter so sorry!
