Chapter 6

Jayfeather's POV

Jayfeather groaned as a paw jabbed him in the side. He batted irritably at the cat. He was too tired, the trip to the Moonpool and back really wiped him out.

Plus, he would rather have just a few moments of peace without some cat storming in whining about something when he was trying to catch up on some well needed. The cat poked him again. Jayfeather hissed in annoyance. He growled as he started to sit up opening his sightless eyes in the process.

"Fine! I'm up already!" He hissed at the cat. By scent he identified it as Lionblaze. He glared his un-seeing jay blue eyes at his brother. "What was so important you had to disrupt my nap for?" Lionblaze sighed and shifted his paws uncertainly.

"Well..." Lionblaze began kneading his claws in the ground nervously. "Lately I've been having these weird dreams about-"

"A little black tom, with white paws, a weird white marking on his chest, a white tail and bright green eyes?" Jayfeather yawned and stretched. "Seen him." Lionblaze tipped his head in confusion. "In my dreams sent from StarClan." He spat the last word in frustration. Lionblaze gave a disgruntled sigh.

"Don't tell me you're fighting with them again?!" Lionblaze said sounding a bit frustrated. Jayfeather let out another hiss.

"You'd be annoyed too if those mousebrains kept such important pieces of information that could ensure the survival of ThunderClan." He stormed past Lionblaze. "Instead they tell me that when 'the trees are parted by an outside force, you will know Phantom has arrived' how can any cat par-" He was cut off as the sounds of fast approaching pawsteps came from outside the gorse tunnel. Jayfeather paused when he recognized the cats scent. "ShadowClan!" he growled just as Tawnypelt burst into the ThunderClan camp. He smelled Brambleclaw behind her.

"Where's Firestar?" Brambleclaw demanded turning to Lionblaze and Jayfeather.

They both shrugged.

"How should I know?" Jayfeather hissed flicking his tail dismissively. "Besides why is she here?" He turned his jay blue eyes on Tawnypelt. Tawnypelt let out a hiss of aggravation.

"ShadowClan needs help!" She shrieked drawing the attention of the other ThunderClan cats in the camp. "We're under attack from twolegs!" Graystripe and Dustpelt appeared out of the warriors den to join them.

"Did I hear correctly?" Graystripe asked his amber eyes wide. "Twolegs? Attacking ShadowClan?" Jayfeather sensed more and more cats join the crowd to hear what the commotion was about.

"Ridiculous!" Mousefur hissed from the front of the elder's den. "They rarely come out to the forest in the season of Leaf-bare!" More cats started to murmur and mumble things worriedly to one another.

"It's just like back in the old forest!" Ferncloud wailed in distress. Jayfeather sniffed the air. Firestar entered from the gorse tunnel with Sandstorm behind him.

"What's going on?" He asked seeing the cats gathered around Brambleclaw and Tawnypelt. "Tawnypelt what are you doing here?"

"Twolegs have attacked ShadowClan Firestar! We had to evacuate our camp!" Tawnypelt said as Brambleclaw gave her a soothing lick between the ears to soothe her. "However some of our kits have run off and we fear for their safety! We can't spare anymore warriors, some cats were injured when we were leaving camp and we need all our warriors to protect us from those nasty kittypets that live in that nest!"

"Firestar we have to help them!" Brambleclaw pressed. "The twolegs let one of they're monsters through ShadowClan's forest! They might come to us next!" Firestar looked uncertain but then he nodded.

"Very well," Firestar meowed at last nodding his head slightly. "Take, Dustpelt, Lionblaze, Squirrelflight, and-" Jayfeather stepped forward.

"Me." Jayfeather said stepping forward ignoring the shocked retorts from the assembled cats. "I can help any cats who are injured."

"I don't know, Jayfeather, ThunderClan can't afford to lose their medicine cat." Firestar replied uncertainly. Jayfeather turned to Firestar, fighting down the frustration that rose in his throat.

"Firestar, I think it would be a good thing for me to go." Jayfeather said forcing his voice not to shake with anger. "It's for the good of both clans." Another chorus of protests went through the assembled cats until Firestar raised his head to speak.

"Very well, Lionblaze will act as your guide if you need it." Firestar dipped his head to Brambleclaw. "May StarClan ensure your safe return." He meowed.

Jayfeather kneaded the ground impatient to get moving, his weariness long forgotten. Brambleclaw gave Firestar a curt nod before racing out of the gorse tunnel with Tawnypelt, Dustpelt and Squirrelflight hard on his heels. Lionblaze and Jayfeather followed slower due to Jayfeather's blindness, although he was moving faster than he usually did.

When they reached the clearing where twolegs sometimes set up those miniature nests Jayfeather could smell the stench of a twoleg monster.

He wrinkled his nose in disgust. But he continued to follow after Lionblaze. They paused at the faint ShadowClan border. Tawnypelt let out a shocked gasp.

"What is it?" Brambleclaw asked turning in the direction where his sister was looking.

"Russetfur!" His sister gasped. "But, Blackstar couldn't have!" Lionblaze turned to Jayfeather who shrugged and sniffed at the border, trying to get a better understanding of what happened.

He felt Lionblaze walk over to join him. Then Lionblaze went stiff beside him. Jayfeather recognized the feeling of shock coming off Lionblaze's fur. Jayfeather turned to him.

"What's wrong?" He hissed trying to pinpoint what had shocked his brother.

"Jayfeather…Ahead there's this huge gap in the trees where the monster went through." Lionblaze swallowed before continuing. "As if they were parted aside by the monster." Jayfeather understood immediately. He narrowed his eyes at the direction of the wreckage Lionblaze was looking.

"So, the trees have been parted StarClan, where's Phantom?" Jayfeather mentally demanded.

Me: well, that's 6 for ya's.

Danny: he's waking up!

Jayfeather: ugh, my head hurts.

Me: that's called hangover, my furry friend.

Jayfeather: shut up.
