I hope you all had a great 4th!
Brambleclaw find the truth
I awoke the next morning and poked my head out of the den, Lionblaze was pacing the clearing with an irritated look on his face.
"Your up early, young 'un!" Purdy called from across the clearing at Lionblaze.
"I'm waiting for the dawn patrol." Lionblaze told the elder, I was a little worried, Lionblaze would need his sleep with the final battle so close. I poked my head back inside wanting to sleep a little bit more, last night's me and some others had gone into the territories and I felt incredibly guilty and I wanted to rest. But it seemed that just as soon as I closed my eyes a paw prodded me awake. I opened one eye to see Jayfeather standing in front of me.
"Chillypaw, we need to talk." I sighed and got to my feet, I followed him out and over to Lionblaze by the beech and settled in its shadows. They said nothing and it was pretty awkward until Dovewing came over with Ivypool who looked like she got hit by a bus.
"What is it?" She yawned as she reached us.
"You two have to tell us about what's happening in the Dark Forest," He hissed looking between both of us, I shuffled my paws and turned to Ivypool who had flattened her ears.
"Your scents are all over the Clan territory." Lionblaze growled to us.
"Brokenstar says we need to learn the Clan territories so we can help one another." Ivypool said.
"And they believe that?" Lionblaze said. He had a point, haven't they heard the stories about him when they were in the nursery? Come on!
"Yeah, and some really want the crazy and delusional cats to win." I added. Lionblaze turned on me.
"Who are they? We need to tell their leaders."
"They still might change their minds once the battle starts." Ivypool Butted in just as I was about to blab a whole bunch of names, I stared at her completely irritated. What was she thinking exactly? "We have to do as he says, or else he'll kill us, he killed Beetlewhisker." She said tail quivering. Everyones eyes widen.
"Now we know what we're up against." Jayfeather growled. But truth be told, they had no idea.
"We must tell Firestar," Lionblaze got up and walked into the clearing, he looked over his shoulder at us. "Come on Ivypool and Chillypaw." We followed him to Firestar's den. Brambleclaw looked up in surprise, "What are you doing here?" He was sitting beside Firestar.
"You need to know what's going on." Lionblaze said to them, I braced myself. "Ivypool and Chillypaw have been visiting the Dark Forest in their dreams, they've been spying for us."
Brambleclaw jerked his head up, "What in the name of Starclan is going on?" Firestar was the one to reply,
"The Dark Forest is rising Brambleclaw," His eyes gleamed at us. "And they are the ones invading our territory every night, am I right?" Ivypool nodded, "Brokenstar and Tigerstar are training warriors from all the clans in their dreams, now he's found a way to bring them into the Clans land."
"Will I ever escape my father?" Brambleclaw growled. Poor guy. I looked to Firestar and saw his eyes glazed,
"This battle has been coming for a long time." He said finally.
"What battle?" Leafpool's voice made me whip around, she entered with Squirrelflight.
"Who are we fighting? Asked Squirrelflight.
"Tell them everything." I heard Firestar murmur to Lionblaze. "While you four are gone, Chillypaw and Ivypool can tell me what's been happening in their dreams." Lionblaze looked reluctant but nodded and left with Brambleclaw, Squirrelflight, and Leafpool.
"Now," Firestar started, his gaze flickering between both of us. "What's been happening?"
I swallowed.
"Where to start?"
