ThatOneSpirit: That made me laugh! That's a really good bad pun, so I will have to remember that one!
Chapter 13
"Every cat old enough to catch their own prey, come to the tall rock for a clan meeting!" Wrenstar called. Sagepaw woke up. She had a big day ahead as she was going to the moon rock for the first time and she was very excited. Sagepaw was thinking about how she would have to leave soon as she padded over to the tall rock, where the other cats were starting to gather.
"Cats of Airclan, I have found evidence of a horrible crime! I have found out that Eagleclaw killed Duskfur!" Yowls and screeches followed these words, but Eagleclaw drowned all of the other cats' voices out with his own.
"It's not true!" Eagleclaw yowled at the top of his lungs.
Wrenstar quieted her clan. "Yes it is." She meowed. "Some cats came and told me of your treachery. Sagepaw winced. "Now he will know I was one of those cats!" Sagepaw thought. After Eagleclaw had digested what Wrenstar had said, he glared at Sagepaw and stalked over to her.
"You piece of crow-food! This is all your fault! Watch your back cat, because I will kill you!" He screeched. Sagepaw took a step back, but not before Eagleclaw leapt at her, claws unsheathed.
Eagleclaw started to madly claw out some of Sagepaw's fur. She tried to hit Eagleclaw with her claws on his head, but missed badly.
"Help!" Sagepaw cried "I can't fight him off!" Right away she felt Eagleclaw's body lift off of her and saw Tigerstripe and Leafpaw helping her. Sagepaw tried to help them as much as she could by trying to scratch and nip Eagleclaw but Tigerstripe and Leafpaw finally got Eagleclaw to stop fighting.
"Eagleclaw, you are now banished from Airclan!" Wrenstar yowled.
"I will come back! I will!" Eagleclaw screeched, and then he ran away through the camp entrance.
"Sagepaw, are you okay?" Leafpaw asked.
"Yes. I'm fine." Sagepaw meowed. "He only got a few clumps of fur. But you and Tigerstripe are not, so I will be right back with some herbs." Sagepaw raced over to the medicine den, and pulled out some marigold and cobwebs. As Sagepaw walked out of the den, she looked up and still saw Wrenstar on the tall rock, meaning that she was still going to continue the meeting.
As Sagepaw put the herbs on Leafpaw and Tigerstripe, Wrenstar called for the clans attention.
"I was not done speaking." Wrenstar meowed. "I have also found evidence that Forestclan has invaded our borders and have marked their territory inside of our border."
Murmurs of shock and annoyance rumbled through the clan, but then stopped as Wrenstar continued. "We will attack Forestclan in three days!" Wrenstar meowed. The clan yowled words of agreement.
"One last thing!" Wrenstar meowed. "Because Leafpaw and Tigerstripe helped Sagepaw with Eagleclaw, they will both be rewarded. But because Tigerstripe is already a warrior, and Leafpaw is not, Leafpaw's reward will be to become a warrior!"
Sagepaw looked over at Leafpaw, who looked stunned. She nudged him and he snapped out of it and walked up to the tall rock. Sagepaw then dared a glance at Leafpaw's littermates and the other apprentices, who looked furious that Leafpaw would be a warrior before them even though they were the same age. Sagepaw held in an mmrow of laughter, and turned back to Leafpaw's warrior ceremony.
"Leafpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code even if it means risking your life?" Wrenstar asked Leafpaw.
"I do." Leafpaw responded.
"Then from now on, your name will be Leafheart!"
"Leafheart! Leafheart! Leafheart!" The clan chanted. Sagepaw was so happy for her friend, who looked delighted at becoming a warrior.
"Congratulations Leafheart!" Sagepaw meowed.
"Thanks!" Leafheart responded and walked over to Tigerstripe who also congratulated him.
Wrenstar flicked her tail to signal that the clan meeting had ended and she walked back to her den.
"Sagepaw, I need to talk to you." Sagepaw turned to see Hawkwing.
"Okay. What is it?" Sagepaw asked.
"Because of the long clan meeting, we will have to postpone our trip to the moon rock until tomorrow. The trip will take a day and then we will have another day to rest before the battle with Forestclan."
"Okay." Sagepaw meowed sadly. But she knew that Hawkwing had a very good point.
"For now though, we will go and try to find some more cobwebs. We are running low on them." Hawkwing meowed.
"All right." Sagepaw meowed. Hawkwing flicked his tail and led Sagepaw out of camp. But as Hawkwing and Sagepaw walked through the high trees, she heard Eagleclaw's voice whisper "I will kill you!"
I hope that everyone enjoyed the new chapter (last chapter) and the same chapterthat I had to re-do! Once again, I'm sorry for the inconvenience. I will update soon!
