NOTE: I don't own anything warriors and only two of the characters. All credit given in the Allegiances section.
What's with all the Chloe/Nightfur rage!? My private messaging is filled with people begging me to get rid of Chloe so that Lightningfur doesn't leave Nightfur. That excludes BooksRCoolYeah and Explodinglollipops in the reviews. I'll admit that this is the first time people have run for the hills over a character in my story. I don't really know what to say…
Other than to reassure you all that Lightningfur will never leave Nightfur.
I'll also add characters to the Lightningfur chapters for your reference.
Review and Enjoy!
Reviving Blood
Chapter 5: Winds of Hope
Stormpaw grunted as she hauled herself through the bushes. Her bad leg dragged uselessly behind her. Seeing a twig, she moved it with her left paw. Then she continued onward. A squirrel was thrown unceremoniously over her back. Sunlight reflected off her teeth as she snarled. Half a day and she only managed to catch a stupid squirrel that was too tired to run away. What good was she? In leaf-bare, what use would she be?
"A burden," she thought dryly.
A log appeared in her path. With a sigh, she reared and placed her front paws on the rotting bark. Her right hind leg began to shake with the strain of holding her weight. She felt the squirrel's body sliding towards the ground. Her tail came up to stop it. Sharp claws, coated with dirt, dug into the bark. Slowly she pulled herself upward. Several pieces clattered to the forest floor, releasing a faint echo. The brown she-cat ignored it. She had to focus on the task at hand. Gritting her teeth, Stormpaw realized that was another drawback. Everyone could multitask except for her. Every task required her complete concentration unless she was resting. A hiss escaped her throat as her bad leg rubbed against several splinters. Every moment of her life was becoming a living nightmare. Hazelsky, Flightwish, and Duststripe had taught everything they could possibly teach. No cat had ever sustained such an injury and became a warrior. She knew Falconstar was talking with Tawnysong about her becoming a medicine cat.
But Forestclan had no need for four medicine cats.
So where could she go? Her injury meant she couldn't hunt and fight properly. There was no room in the medicine den for her. Several tears dropped to the forest floor. The she-cat dropped to the ground and carefully shifted the squirrel back to its position. Was she destined to be a cat without a purpose? Was she destined to be a burden to her Clan? That's when a steeliness came into her gaze. Claws ripped through the ground. She would prove that she could do something, anything! Then her ears flattened. If leaf-bare came and she couldn't do anything then she would walk away. She would leave her home.
She would die alone, a burden to no one.
Her path continued towards the Clan's camp. No one knew of her silent promise. No one knew of the decision she had made. That was between her and Starclan. That was between her and her brother. Forestclan didn't need to know. It would only cause problems. Especially with her mother, who felt horrible enough. Stormpaw felt her heart twist deep inside. Flightwish had been so proud of her kits when they became apprentices. Now one was dead. The other was a useless cripple. No other tom would ever capture her heart. Stormpaw was all she had left. A weak, pathetic, stupid, useless cripple that could barely stand on her own feet without help. Let alone hunt, fight, and stand up for their Clan. She didn't deserve to have a daughter like Stormpaw.
Back at camp, Stormpaw met Blizzardsky and Flickerfire guarding the camp entrance. Both nodded a brief, silent greeting to her. Stormpaw nodded back. That was a mistake. The slightest bob caused to lose her balance. The white warrior caught her with his powerful shoulder. He asked if she was ok but his voice sounded muffled and distant. All Stormpaw could do was nod and muttered that she was fine. Embarrassment and guilt made her pelt flush. She could swear that her gray spots were turning red. Both toms followed her into camp to make sure that she was really fine. Then they returned to their posts. Stormpaw dropped her catch to the prey pile. She caught sight of Flightwish talking with Nightfur, Rosedawn, Wildfire, and Whispersong near the nursery. Wishkit was tussling with Honeykit. Fawnkit, Foxkit, and Squirrelkit were watching with wide, excited eyes. Reedtail padded over to the group of queens and started talking. Stormpaw knew he was checking on Honeykit.
A soft, deep voice entered her ears, "I see you caught a squirrel."
"Yes. Had its head in a burrow. Never saw me coming," she meowed quietly, the self-loathing underlying every word.
Fur rubbed against her's, "I'll bet. You're one of the best stalkers in the Clan!"
"Don't go there, Stonepelt," the apprentice growled.
She pulled away from the tom and lipped away. Pawsteps told her that he was following. A lash of her tail warned him to back off. She wasn't in the mood to hear his empty praises. The tom stopped following her. His green eyes burned into her pelt with worry. With a sigh, he turned and headed over to Cobrapelt to volunteer for the dusk border patrol. Stormpaw curled up in a patch of moss she had moved outside the apprentice's den. The apprentices had told her she was welcome inside but the she-cat refused. She wasn't an apprentice. She wasn't a warrior. Those blue eyes closed in agony. She wasn't anything useful to anyone.
Why did Starclan take her brother instead of her?
At least he could have contributed to their Clan.
When she opened her eyes, the sun was barely over the horizon. She lifted her head. There was an air of nervousness around her. Those blue eyes spotted Falconstar sitting before the meeting rock. Cobrapelt was walking back and forth in front of the leader, eyes locked on the camp entrance. Her eyes darted to the warriors' den on the opposite side of camp. Riverbreeze was crouching at the entrance, her tail flicking back and forth. Stormpaw felt her heart nearly stop with fear. Stonepelt's dusk patrol! They should have returned by now! The brambles around the entrance started rustling. Expectant, hopeful gazes watched it. Autumnfire, Tigerstorm, Bonefeather, and Leafshine padded into camp. They shook their heads at the leaders. No sign of the missing patrol.
Stormpaw couldn't take it anymore. She didn't know it but she was the best silent stalker in the Clan, despite her injured leg. Quietly she slipped through the dirt-place. Coalsplash was in the trees, eyes scanning the surrounding territory. Nightfur was crouching in the shadows of the bramble barrier. Only her amber eyes could be seen. Eaglewing was simple sitting in his guard position like a frozen block of stone. Like his mate, he was worried to death about his missing son.
The crippled apprentice lowered her nose to the ground once she was out of sight. Hazelsky had been a wonderful mentor. Her apprentice was also one of the best trackers. Silently she slipped through the bushes. The patrol had passed this way. Stonepelt was in the lead. Blackstorm, Aspenfall, Flowerspot, Wolfsnarl, and Ashpaw were right behind him. Carefully she followed their trail. Stormpaw knew that she couldn't make a mistake. Something had happened to this patrol. Something had kept them from coming home. She was going to find out what. A snarl pulled back her lips. If it hurt the patrol, her Clanmates, then she would tear it apart.
Suddenly she stopped. Her heart flew to her mouth. Blood! Stonepelt's blood! Her paws shot forward. Pain shot from her crippled leg but she ignored it. Her Clanmates were in danger. They were hurt. She had to rescue them. She had to! Even if Falconstar disagreed, she was still a warrior of Forestclan. She would fight and die for her Clanmates! Nothing would ever hold her back from keeping that promise:
To defend and protect her Clan…
Even at cost of her own life.
Their scent was closing in when she heard the hissing. They were near the gorge where her brother had fallen to his death. Teeth bared in a deadly smile. Claws glinted in the fading light. A weak cry came to her ears. A young cat! The patrol was trying to defend a young cat, possibly a kit. Her mind jumped to the obvious conclusion. Star was at it again. She had found another kit. She was destroying another life. A log appeared in Stormpaw's path. The she-cat didn't hesitate a second. Her front paws aimed her leap. The powerful muscles developed in her haunches launched her upward. Claws seized ahold of the bark. A kick from her back leg allowed her to pull herself upward. Those sky blue glared into the dark forest.
The patrol was protecting surrounding a dark brown ball of fur. The young cat's amber eyes were wide with terror. Stormpaw estimated him to be about five moons old. True to her prediction, Star came slinking from the bushes. Anger and hunger glowed in those terrifyingly ice blue eyes. Stonepelt blocked her path to the kit. A snarl appeared on blood red lips. Star launched herself at him with a powerful yowl. The tom raced to meet her. They collided midair. Stormpaw winced as Star slammed Stonepelt into the ground. Her jaws bit into his shoulder, so close to his throat. Then Wolfsnarl hauled her off of him. Aspenfall reared on the she-cat, deadly claws raking across that black spotted pelt. Ashpaw pulled the kit away from the fighting. Flowerspot was crouching off to the right side, furthest from the watching apprentice. She was bleeding heavily from several deep wounds. Blackstorm leaped from the trees above in an attempt to crush Star beneath her. The white she-cat, however, was expecting the attack. She rolled quickly. Wolfsnarl was yanked after her. Blackstorm had no chance to change direction. Both she and the tom went down in a heap. That left Aspenfall and Stonepelt. The two cats charged simultaneously. The silver tabby she-cat aimed high while the gray tom aimed low. An easy twist of her body allowed Star to dodge both of them. Stonepelt slid to a halt and charged again. He ducked Star's claws and raked his own down her side. Aspenfall seized her head with both paws and slammed it into the ground. Star let out a screech of rage. Her back claws cut a deep wound into the silver tabby's stomach. Stonepelt quickly pushed his Clanmate away from the murderous she-cat. He turned to face Star…
Only to have her claws rip through the right side of his face.
Stormpaw felt her heart skip a beat as the tom hit the ground. Guilt ripped into her. This was all her fault. She pushed him away. Maybe he wouldn't be here if she hadn't done so. Star pressed a paw into his bleeding shoulder. Her tongue ran over her lips. Stonepelt was too dazed to fight back as those jaws reached towards him. A bolt of rage filled Stormpaw in that second. These were her Clanmates, battered, bruised, and wounded. This she-cat…this monster…was trying to kill them. All thought of guilt, pain, doubt, and self-condemnation vanished. Those sky blue eyes, normally peaceful and kind, were filled with rage. Every muscle quivered. Claws and teeth itched for blood. The blood of the one who hurt her Clanmates. The one who dared to threaten the only cat that saw her as whole and perfect.
A gasp of shock was pulled from Star as something pulled her away from her target. Stormpaw hit the ground a second after she did. Both rolled closer to the edge of the gorge. Moonlight pushed its way through the trees. It lit a small clearing of rock and grass. It lit the battle the ensued between two equally enraged she-cats. Stormpaw ducked under Star's claws. Her head slammed into the she-cat's white stomach. Star landed on her back. Then Stormpaw seized her tail and started dragging her towards the gorge. The killer she-cat dug her claws into the rocky earth. Stormpaw, however, was too strong. Her muscles were powerful, built up over the moons of dragging her damaged leg. Finally Star turned and kicked out the good leg. Stormpaw dropped and rolled in a heartbeat, just as Duststripe had trained her. Claws raked the air where she had been. Stormpaw wrapped her front legs around Star's back. Sharp teeth bit into the scruff. The tang of blood could be tasted. For once, Stormpaw relished it. Powerful muscles pulled the spotted she-cat off her paws and rolled her over. Both of Stormpaw's brown front paws pinned the she-cat on her back.
"Don't ever threaten my Clanmates again," Stormpaw growled. She lowered her nose so it almost touched Star's, "Next time I won't let you leave."
Star smiled sweetly at the apprentice, "What can you do, cripple? Talk my ears off? Bore me to death? Perhaps even…" She started choking as Stormpaw pressed down on her throat with a paw.
"Don't push your luck, murderer," she whispered coldly, the moonlight reflecting eerily off her sky blue eyes. "I'm far stronger than I look. Stronger than you even. Crippled leg or not, I'm a warrior of this clan. Now get out of Forestclan's territory!"
The apprentice released the she-cat. Star didn't hesitate to beat a retreat. Stormpaw shivered as several small rocks clattered down to the bottom of the gorge. Pawsteps came to her ears. Then a cold nose pressed into her cheek. Turning, she buried her head into Stonepelt's bloodied chest. Tears of relief and fear raced down her cheeks. The tom simply pressed into her. There were no words of comfort or gratitude that he could give. Soon the patrol headed back to camp. Falconstar, Cobrapelt, and several others met them along the way. Ashpaw quickly explained what had transpired. Silversoul quickly reassured the kit that he was safe from Star. Forestclan would protect him. Flightwish met her daughter in camp with meows of relief. Stormpaw growled softly as her mother showered her with licks, worried exclamations, and orders to never scare her like that again. Stonepelt was examined by Tawnysong then pressed into his parents. He was just happy to be alive. Aspenfall was fussed over by Nightfur and her kits. Flowerspot was quickly taken care of by Blossomstorm. All the while, her twin Rosedawn and Flickerfire refused to leave her side. The mother also buried her son with love and worry though the tom was able to escape into the apprentice's den. Whispersong and Wildfire escorted the kit into the nursery. Wolfsnarl and Blackstorm was the least injured, quickly reassuring their Clanmates that they would alright.
Cats started heading for bed when Falconstar raised his head and yowled, "Forestclan! Gather for a Clan meeting!"
Everyone stopped, confused, then padded towards him. He was sitting before the meeting rock. Tawnysong and Cobrapelt came to his side. Both were equally confused as the Clan. Stormpaw hung back near the medicine den with Stonepelt. He, Flowerspot, and Aspenfall would be spending the next few night in the medicine den. The she-cat licked the tom between the ears, receiving a chuckle in return. He had taken care of her while she healed. Now it was going to be her turn to care for him.
Falconstar looked towards the stars above and spoke clearly, "Starclan, I have erred. This should have been done many moons ago. Stormpaw, please step forward."
The she-cat in question looked up from where she was with shock. A slight nudge from Stonepelt got her moving. The Clan separated so they wouldn't trip her. Flightwish watched with worry from where she sat. The wounded she-cat stood before her leader. Sky blue eyes shined with fear and confusion. Why was he calling her forward? Was she in trouble? Even worse, was he going to drive her from the Clan? How would she survive on her own? She could barely hunt. Fighting was really difficult.
Falconstar gave her a warm smile before speaking again, "I call upon Starclan to look down on this young cat. She has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code. She has risked everything for her Clanmates, regardless of her injuries. Now I commend her to you as the warrior she deserves to be." He looked into her shocked gaze and spoke gently, "Stormpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to defend and protect this Clan, even at the cost of your own life?"
"I do," she meowed, her voice shaking with the whirl of emotions that filled her in that second.
Her leader nodded, "Then from this moment on, you will be known as Stormwind, for your unending loyalty and determination. Tonight you have reminded your Clan that anyone can be a warrior, regardless of disability or past life. Forestclan welcomes you as a full warrior…a warrior that will never surrender or abandon her Clanmates in the face of danger."
His muzzle pressed into her head fur. Stormwind numbly licked his right shoulder. The cries of her Clanmates was deafening. They were chanting her new name. Flightwish pressed into her daughter, purring proudly, nuzzling Stormwind's right cheek. Then a tongue licked her other cheek. Looking in that direction, she found Stonepelt. He smiled at her. Heat filled the new warrior in a heartbeat. She could swear her cheeks were going red. Forcing down the panic in her chest, she purred at him.
His deep, soft voice spoke softly, "Always knew you be a warrior one day. There is no other place for you to be."
"Thank you, Stonepelt," Stormwind replied in the same soft tone.
Her Clanmates headed to bed. The guards left her alone in the center of camp. Stormwind sat tall and proud. She was finally a warrior. Unknown to everyone, her paws were shaking. Had Falconstar made the right choice? Was Stonepelt right? Was she strong enough to be a warrior for her Clan? She might be able to fight but fighting would never feed her Clanmates. What would she do when leaf-bare came? How could she possibly eat knowing that she didn't catch a thing?
"The winds are changing. For once, hope is on the horizon," a familiar voice whispered in her ears.
Looking right, Stormwind felt her heart soar. Cloudracer sat there, tall and strong. He smiled at her. He was proud of her. He was happy for her. Their tails entwined. Both pairs of eyes looked to the camp entrance. Flightwish always said they did everything together. Stormwind was glad her brother was at her side. He made all her doubt go away. He made her feel that being a warrior was her path. As kits they had done everything together. Now they would sit the silent vigil together.
As they had always wanted to do.
