Snowflower's POV
Snowflower jolted awake and shivered as she scurried away from the moonstone, bumping into Brackenflame. She turned to him and noticed he had a worried expression on his face.
"Thank StarClan you're awake! Greycloud is outside waiting for us, making sure nobody came in to disturb us. We figured StarClan still had a grip on you." Brackenflame explained.
Snowflower looked down to her paws and tried to remember the warning. What was it? Traitor… Storm..? What did it mean? Snowflower shook her head and pressed herself against Brackenflame, "Let's get out of here" she murmured softly.
As the two emerged from the tunnel they heard Greycloud hissing at a cat. "Stay back! Or I'll shred you to pieces!" she warned.
"Why won't you let us through? The warrior code states that you should let all cats passing through your territory on their way to moonstone should pass with ease. Plus we have to start my leader ceremony soon!" a tom hissed arrogantly.
Snowflower let out a sigh and stumbled until she was next to Greycloud. Stupid paws she hissed inwardly at herself.
Snowflower dipped her head and inhaled his ShadowClan scent. "Greetings Fallenstreak. Please excuse us; we were using the moonstone to talk to our warrior ancestors." Snowflower explained. Her ears perked up as she remembered what the tom had said before she came into view.
"What happened to Toadstar?" she asked, tilting her head to the side curiously. "It's none of your business ThunderClan scum" the tom hissed again.
"Fallenstreak please, it's no time to be fighting." The smaller tom beside him hissed into his ear. Fallenstreak turned on the medicine cat and growled.
"You don't tell me what to do! My mate is depending on me to avenge her death! That filthy, cold hearted, she-cat Icestar killed her in cold blood! WindClan will pay!" the tom hissed, shoving his way past Greycloud and into the tunnel.
The smaller tom sighed and looked to the trio. "You must forgive Fallenstreak. WindClan took the only thing he loved, even though he has two more kits back at camp who are mourning their mother's death." The tom said.
Brackenflame scoffed and shook his head. "I don't get those kinds of toms Featherwhisker. If he has two more kits in the camp he should love them more and be more protective." Brackenflame pointed out.
Featherwhisker shook his head and looked down to his paws. "He told me he no longer cared for Nightblaze and Dappleflower. Toadstar passed that on to him. He said that he must not love any other cat if he wanted the clan to be strong." Featherwhisker murmured softly.
Snowflower jumped up and felt her fur rise. "That lousy tom is their father? No wonder why they're always so reckless! Take me to your camp now! I want to speak with them." Snowflower requested. She felt a fire in her belly rage as she thought about Nightblaze and Dappleflower being abandoned.
"They are much too young to be abandoned. They need a loving family!" Snowflower began to fret.
Featherwhisker let out a purr and nodded his head. "You sound a lot like a mother. Are you Ashflower's kits by any chance? She acted the same way when kits fathers no longer acknowledged them." Featherwhisker asked.
Snowflower looked at the medicine cat in the eyes and nodded. "I'm Snowflower and this is my sister Greycloud. Brackenflame is my mate" Snowflower explained.
Featherwhisker looked at Brackenflame with a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Ah so Brackenflame is the lucky contender then. A lot of ShadowClan toms will be very disappointed." Featherwhisker teased.
Snowflower looked away as embarrassment flooded through her body as Brackenflame began to chuckle. He looked to Snowflower and nudged her playfully.
"Do you want us to come with?" he asked Snowflower, his eyes shining with concern.
"I'll be fine, I want to speak with them alone" Snowflower reassured her mate, giving him a lick on the cheek before padding away from him as the ShadowClan medicine cat led her towards the ShadowClan territory.
"We're here" Featherwhisker announced as he pushed his way through the entrance.
Snowflower followed quickly and dipped his head towards the cats that stared at them.
"Hey check it out! It's Snowflower." A tom whispered to the cat standing beside him. She shot them an icy glare and both the toms physically swooned.
Snowflower turned away and rolled her eyes as the passed them towards the warriors den.
As they entered Snowflower looked around and spotted the form of Dappleflower and Nightblaze sleeping together.
"Hey you two wake up! You have a special visitor" Featherwhisker meowed softly to them. Nightblaze lifted her head and cast the medicine cat a glare.
"We just got to sleep, who is so important to us that you need to wake us up?" Nightblaze spat, her green eyes glinting with fury.
Dappleflower stirred next to her sister and inhaled deeply. "It smells like the sweet scent Snowflower carries." The tortoiseshell warrior murmured softly.
Snowflower let out a soft purr and Dappleflower's head shot up, quickly glancing to Snowflower. Nightblaze's green eyes found her as well and they both stood up to greet her.
"Will you four keep it down? I've been doing patrols all day and I want a decent night of sleep!" a she-cat spat at them.
"Sorry Blossomfire" Dappleflower quickly apologized and the four cats exited the warriors den.
"You guys can talk in my den; I have to wait at the entrance for Fallenstreak to return." He meowed quickly as he scampered off.
Nightblaze lashed her tail at the sound of her father's name and she led the way to the medicine cat den.
"Why did you need to talk to us?" Dappleflower asked as the three she-cats settled down.
"I wanted to ask you two if you wanted to join ThunderClan" Snowflower admitted. "I know it's not my decision entirely but I think Leafstar would accept you two. Plus I don't want you two to be here with the cat that refuses to acknowledge you. You two are practically still apprentices!" Snowflower blurted out.
Nightblaze narrowed her eyes at her, but turned to Dappleflower who was deep in thought.
"If you think about Nightblaze has anyone ever acknowledged us other than Fallenstreak's daughters or Wishblaze's daughters? Ever since we were born no one has ever acknowledged us by name. Well except our mentors but they rarely ever called us individually." Dappleflower muttered to her sister.
Nightblaze lashed her tail again and looked away from Snowflower. "ShadowClan has always been our home… How can we abandon it now? Especially on the verge of war?" Nightblaze asked sadly.
Snowflower let out a sigh and heard the scuttling of paws as toms tried to enter on the conversation. "Just think about it, with your father becoming leader I'm afraid that this clan is destined in the path of blood" she meowed distractedly as she rose to her paws.
"Thank you Snowflower we will think about your offer, have a safe trip then" Dappleflower mewed sweetly as her and her sister began to discuss the arrangements of moving or staying.
Snowflower pushed her way out of the medicine cat den and noticed a small group of toms looking at her in shock in awe.
Snowflower swished her tail nervously and looked to her paws. "Can I help you?" she asked softly.
"Do you need an escort to your territory?"
"I'll escort Snowflower"
"No I will!"
The tom's mews constantly grew louder until a small apprentice appeared in front of her.
"Hi pretty she-cat, can escort you to your territory?" the little tom squeaked. Snowflower let out a purr and nodded.
"What's your name little one?" she asked as they moved past the small group of toms gawking at the apprentice.
"My name is Flamepaw, Featherwhisker asked me to escort you because you would've torn the others to shred" the dark ginger tabby purred playfully.
Snowflower looked to the little tom sadly and assessed his size. "How old are you Flamepaw?" she asked not wanting to hear the answer of fewer than six moons.
"I'm four moons now, I was the last apprentice Toadstar made and mama says I should be proud of that." The tome meowed evasively.
"Do you ever think about going back into the nursery?" Snowflower blurted out as they reached the Thunderpath.
Flamepaw shrunk back as a monster roared by them and he buried himself in Snowflower's fur. "I want my mama to take care of me! I wasn't ready to become an apprentice but Toadstar made me" the kit wailed pitifully.
"Would you like to come to ThunderClan as Flamekit then?" Snowflower asked, knowing she had now offered three cats shelter in ThunderClan.
Flamepaw looked up to her in awe. "Would you really do that? Wouldn't ShadowClan declare war on ThunderClan?" Flamepaw asked, cautiously looking behind them.
"I don't really know, but I do know I can't leave behind a kit who isn't ready to become an apprentice." Snowflower pointed out.
Flamepaw nodded to her and began to walk across the Thunderpath, not looking before crossing.
"Flamepaw look out!" Snowflower screeched as she lunged across the Thunderpath, shoving the dark ginger tom out of the way.
The last thing she heard was the monster screeching across the Thunderpath before everything went black.
Brackenflame's POV
Brackenflame let out a sigh of content as his patrol walked through the forest towards ShadowClan territory, Gingerpaw bounced around him sniffing at every little thing.
The flame colored tom let out a purr and scented the arid stench of the Thunderpath before he heard screeching from both cat and monster.
"Flamepaw look out!" the she-cat screeched.
Brackenflame shot forward, recognizing the voice of his mate as she cried out.
As he reached the Thunderpath he watched Snowflower's body fall from the air on to the black path.
A dark ginger kit cowered beside her as he gave her a tentative sniff.
Brackenflame ran onto the Thunderpath and picked the kit up by his scruff as he moved him off the Thunderpath.
"Hey let me go! She needs help!" the kit cried out.
Brackenflame rushed back to his mate and sniffed her, "Snowflower?" he mewed stiffly, not seeing her chest rise and fall.
Snowflower let out a gasp of pain and began breathing again as she opened her eyes.
Brackenflame let out a cry of relief and began to drag her by the scruff.
"What is it with you and near death situations?" he meowed, trying to lighten up the mood.
As he came back to his group he felt Redfeather, help lift Snowflower on his back and supported her weight with Brackenflame as he heard her whimper.
"Hey watch it!" he snapped at his brother who nearly dropped his mate to the ground in fear.
"Brackenflame I understand she's your mate, but you need to be nicer to your clan mates" Silverstorm meowed curtly, shoving her way under Snowflower, ignoring her yelp of pain.
Brackenflame lashed his tail, careful not to snap at Silverstorm. She would've left in a heartbeat because it was Snowflower. But if it were any cat other cat Silverstorm would've made sure to get her back to camp as quickly as possible.
As they made their way to camp Brackenflame kept a close eye on the kit that followed them slowly. Why was this dark ginger kit out of camp, and with Snowflower? Brackenflame let out a gasp and lashed his tail with another anxious look back at the kit. Did Snowflower take the kit without ShadowClan realizing?
Brackenflame shook his head to clear the thought. No, no, no Snowflower would never do that. If she wanted kits she would've asked him. Right? Brackenflame pressed his ears to his skull in embarrassment as they stumbled through the entrance.
A yowl of relief greeted him as he appeared in the camp.
"Brackenflame thank StarClan you're back Snowflower still hasn't-" Greycloud began before she spotted her sister on his back.
The light grey warrior let out a gasp before shoving Silverstorm away from her sister and taking her place. She shot a glare to the silver senior warrior and hissed at her
"Don't you ever touch my sister! If you can appreciate her skill because you're too jealous over Brackenflame choosing her as a mate then stay away from her! You're just as bad as Willowflower!" Greycloud spat at Silverstorm.
Brackenflame waited for the angry retort of Silverstorm that usually followed after accusations against her, but the silver she-cat merely shrugged and padded off towards the warriors den.
Brackenflame felt his jaw drop as Silverstorm disappeared and Flamedapple planted his paw in front of them.
"What happened to her? Why is this young warrior covered in blood?" Flamedapple demanded.
Brackenflame closed his jaw and opened them again to respond to Flamedapple before the dark ginger kit stepped forward.
"I-I'm sorry… It was my entire fault…"
