Chapter 10: Featherbreeze

Featherbreeze stared at the distant shore of the lake, hoping to spot Mintleaf on her way back from PineClan. Stormshade and Silverriver were sitting near her, their tails twitching impatiently.

"When is she going to get here?" Stormshade meowed. "I don't know how you convinced me to come here, and if we all get in trouble for this, I'm going to blame it on you!"

"He's right, you know," Silverriver mewed. "I don't want to leave my kits alone for too long. They're only a few days old!"

Featherbreeze whirled around to face them, trying to control her temper. "Look, I know this is not ideal, but as I already explained, you two are from OakClan, and so we need your help. If Mintleaf isn't back by moon-high, you two can go home. For now, just be patient!" She lashed her tail and ran to the tree bridge, hoping to see her sister trotting across, with Streampaw behind her. Instead, she saw small shapes trotting across the tree bridge and heard muffled whispers. Frowning, she padded onto it, and heard a louder meow that sounded a lot like… Snowkit!

The other kits came into sight and Featherbreeze saw that all Silverriver's kits were there. They're barely a quarter moon old! How did they get this far?

"Featherbreeze!" Stormkit squeaked. "Frostkit woke up and mama was gone! Where is she? We followed her trail all the way here!"

"Silverriver!" Featherbreeze shouted. The queen ran towards Featherbreeze, her eyes widening when she saw the kits.

"Stormkit, Frostkit, Snowkit, Leafkit, Oakkit, what do you think you're doing? It's snowing!" She looked shocked and alarmed.

"Well, it isn't snowing; there's just snow on the ground, and I could ask the same of you," Frostkit retorted. "Last I checked, you aren't allowed just to leave us alone in the middle of the night!"

"Well—whatever, let's go. I'm sorry, Featherbreeze, but it's almost moon-high and she's not here yet. I need to take the kits back to camp." Silverriver lifted Snowkit, the smallest, by her scruff and nudged her other kits in front of her.

"Wait! I'm sure they'll be here soon!" Featherbreeze yowled after the silver she-cat. Just then, she spotted three cats running along the shore. Green eyes flashed in the darkness and relief spread over Featherbreeze, recognizing her sister's eyes. Wait… Three cats? There were supposed to be two!

"Featherbreeze!" Mintleaf yowled. Featherbreeze saw Silverriver stop on the opposite end of the tree-bridge, just as Mintleaf and the other cats ran up to her and her kits. Featherbreeze ran along the tree-bridge, thanking StarClan the snow had melted off it. As she got closer, she saw that the two cats with her sister were Splashpaw and Breezeheart. What's he doing here? she wondered.

"Silverriver, they're here! Please just stay until moon-high!" Featherbreeze begged. The silver she-cat shook her head.

"I want to help, I really do. But I need to take the kits back to camp. I'm sorry." With that, Silverriver picked Snowkit up and nudged the rest of the kits in front of her. Featherbreeze watched them disappear into the forest, and exchanged a glance with Mintleaf.

The black she-cat stared after the queen. "I wasn't sure you'd convince her to come at all," she commented. "Breezeheart came," she added and padded onto the tree bridge.

"Why?"

"Featherbreeze, use your brain! I was in his territory! Is it that unlikely that I would've seen a StreamClan cat?"

Featherbreeze was still confused. "You got out of this by making him come?"

"No, I forced her to let me come," Breezeheart smirked.

"Why did you want to come?" Featherbreeze asked.

"Because I wanted to know what you're doing. And what's with all these questions anyway?" Breezeheart glared at her, his eyes glittering with annoyance.

"Yeah, Featherbreeze, great StarClan, don't you want more cats to help us?" Mintleaf snapped.

Featherbreeze didn't have an answer for that, except, Why are you defending him? So, she just stepped off the tree bridge and trotted back to Stormshade.

"Finally!" he snapped. "I'm on dawn patrol tomorrow!"

"We are trying to bring the clans together," Featherbreeze meowed, ignoring Stormshade. "Does any of you have clanmates who would help us?"

Streampaw looked thoughtful. "Squirrelfall has never been pleased about the war and Jumpfern would help me, I think."

"Blossomleap might help. Her kits, too," Breezeheart meowed.

Even Stormshade meowed, "Firespring might help if Silverriver asks her."

"Great!" Featherbreeze meowed. "On the night after the next half-moon, bring all the cats you can convince to come here." All the cats nodded and Breezeheart and Streampaw left. Stormshade followed them.

"That was successful," Mintleaf meowed, looking reluctant.

Featherbreeze smirked. "I knew it would work!" She turned to leave but the scent of PineClan stopped her. "Do you smell PineClan?" she whispered, freezing in place.

"Yes," Mintleaf meowed. "Streampaw, a PineClan cat, was just here. Of course there is PineClan scent!"

Featherbreeze shook her head. "There is a PineClan cat, and he's still here!" Then a brown tabby tom jumped down from a tree, smirking.

So it's really short... sorry. I don't love it, but it gets us to the next chapter which will be more exciting!

QOTC

Why is Mintleaf defending Breezeheart?

Who is the brown tabby tom?

Also, there is a plot hole because you don't actually know what happened with Streampaw going with them. I will put that in the next chapter if people want it, otherwise I don't find it necessary.

Remember, first five reviewers get shout-outs! And please review! Tell me if I should include the scene with Streampaw!
