Into battle
When the Dark Forest broke through the bramble barrier, it literally was, all hell breaking loose. I was about to plunge into battle when I heard a voice from behind me,
"Chillypaw wait." I whipped around to find three cats standing at the back of the den. Bluestar, Yellowfang, and here was a surprise, Brittleface.
"Chillypaw if you go out there, it will end badly because of your leg." Yellow fang said.
"But what are you guys doing here? You're not supposed to be here yet." I shot back, angry at what they were saying. I winced as my leg sent a shot of pain through me. The three cats came closer,
"Chillypaw," Bluestar started, "We have come to help you fulfil your destiny of saving the clans. Starclan has kept this secret since the beginning, and never has it been told to a living cat before. ANd never before has it been done." She took a deep breath before continuing, "There is a way for you to be healed completely, but it comes at a cost."
"And what is that cost?" I asked warily,
"It is the cost of a life force, but that force must come from on willingly and from some on of Starclan."
"But if I take someones life force, won't that mean that they will end existing?" I said completely nodded. "Ok, but I still don't see-" But then I stopped as Brittleface came and sat in front of me, then I realized.
"Brittleface, you would give up your life force, your spirit, for me?" I whispered quietly. She looked me straight in the eye,
"Yes, but also for my Clan. Chillypaw, my time with the Clans is over, but you... You have a chance to make a greater difference." Then she slowly leaned closer and we touched noses, white hot pain coursed through me. I opened my mouth to scream but couldn't. I opened my eyes and saw Brittleface on last time before she exploded right in front of me into hundreds of tiny stars, they held her shape for a split second before starting to swirl around me, they expanded around me to create a sphere of tiny stars, then they all rushed back to my body and I screamed.
I hadn't realized I had closed my eyes again until I opened them and stared up at Bluestar and Yellowfang from the floor. Bluestar and Yellowfang looked concern, and that was saying something for Yellowfang. I gradually got to my paws.
"Chillypaw," Bluestar said, "How do you feel?" I shook my head.
"I feel like I could go and kick some Dark Forest psychos into next week." I turned and raced outside the medicine den with the two Thunderclan cats right behind me. My leg felt great, like it was never injured, maybe even better. The Dark Forest better watch out, because I was coming and there was nothing they could do to stop me.
I looked across the battlefield and my mind flashed back to the one time Windclan invaded Thunderclan and all the Clans got involved turning Thunderclan territory into a warzone. But this time we were prepared, this time we had the power of three, I jumped into the fray and bowled into a Dark Forest warrior Firestar was fighting. And this time, we had the fourth.
"Chillypaw! You shouldn't be here! You need to-" But then Yellowfang interrupted,
"Firestar you mouse brain! Now is not the time to be chatting! Now is the time to defend your clan!" Then she went and tackled a Dark warrior.
"But your leg. You could get killed if it fails you!" He said to me. I gave him smile and to show him my leg was fine I twisted on my front right paw and lashed out, catching an on coming Dark warrior full in the face, he was sent flying back screeching. I looked at Firestar with triumph.
"H-how-" But I stopped him,
"I'll explain later, but right now Yellowfang is right we need to focus and teach these rejects a lesson!" Firestar nodded and we split up, intent on taking down the Dark Forest, and teaching them that you mess with the clans, you get the warriors.
Sorry it took me awhile to update! I have stuff going on so it might be awhile before I update again. Please don't hate me for what I did to Brittleface! Let me know if you think I ruined it with that but I kind of liked it. The battle's not over yet so stay tuned!
