Veryy short chappie, I must admit, but it's another StarClan chapter. Next POV coming up next, and that one will be a tad more interesting, promisee! Review Answers :)
TearStainedAngel24: Again, glomp? Oh, you make me laugh friend :) You're going to do an English report on my work? Haha, I'm just joshing, but that would seriously be pretty awesome. And good luck on your play!
Spottedflame: How do you know he's got a crush, huh? Again, I'm totally kidding:) His whole love life is kinda "eh" right now with me mostly because I have no idea yet what's going to happen. Well, I have a vague idea... xD Again, I am so sorry about your cat! It's a good thing though, that you did the best possible for her in the end :') She shall be missed! AND YES I KNOW! 400 REVIEWS! AASDJFKLDFJ'DAJFD'KJ!
starbomb: Glad you liked it!
Icestar0921: Why thank you :)
Mistyflower68: Oh yess, gotta have the fluff xD Dear Feather does need someone to love her, doesn't she? OMG, just this second, I am not even kidding, your review gave me the bestest idea for the ending! AHHH! THANK YOU! *runs off to write like a maniac*
sol de luna: You shall seeeee xD
kingszey: how do you know he's going to end up with Dapple? tehe, you shall see, shan't you? And you're so right...except I hate seeing my characters suffer. I love them so dearly :')
Galefire: glad you're excited! As for the warriors book, I forgot...the last one I read was the one in which Holly dies and Dovekit and Ivykit are born. I didn't read beyond that because the series has seriously gone downhill from the first arc. I will personally always, ALWAYS love the first prophecy. I cry everytime I read the newer ones, because I remember the times before they left the forest and I just...I don't know, I'm just heartbroken!
Ashheart15: Here's the StarClan one you wanted! I hope you like it :)
Tangleflame: Wow, I'm glad you liked it so much! I shall go read your stories at once! Or, as soon as I have time xD
Darkflight of DeathClan: You're welcome dear! I really like her, she's a little spitfire and I enjoy writing her. She will indeed get her own POV because I think she has a really unique personality that I want to show my readers. That chapter is going to be a bit weird because I might either put all three Shadow Sisters in one chappie, or give them a chapter each...still deciding on what exactly I want to do. And because you like that name, Darkfire is under serious consideration.
Random Falcon: Thank you indeed :) As for the Thorn lovee, you shall see what happens...I think who he ends up with will surprise EVERYONE :) *evil smirk* I truly am evall! The Ravenwing POV is actually a good idea, so thank you! Look for that soon :)
Sparrowclaw of ThunderClan: Aw, thank youu! I really don't think it was that great, but I love the compliment either way. I know, I really need to get some action kicking back in...hmm, maybe next chapter...Anywhoo, I hope this chapter helps the Darkflight loss :) As for Feather's fate, I can only say this...you shall seee xD
Viper3332: Aw, that is so sweet! Thank you, you have no idea how much that means to me! Totally sweet, thankk you :) It's really being published? That's amazing! Omygoodness, that's just amazing, congrats, really :)
Continuing xD
Chapter 16
Stonepelt sat beside a young, strong tom, both gazing into a starlit pool. The dark tabby heaved a long sigh, pale green eyes sad and joyful at the same time.
"I miss them already," he whispered painfully. The figures of two young apprentices moved swiftly in the pool, their black and white pelts distinct.
Stonepelt's amber eyes glowed softly in the moonlight.
"They are happy. Take comfort in that," the older tom replied.
"I really am trying to. But I love them so much. And Ravenwing…"he trailed off. Stonepelt sighed.
"I know. She has been through so much in her life, and now that you're gone…I'm not sure how she'll do it," Stonepelt murmured.
Darkflight nodded, and his eyes gleamed with a hint of shock.
"I still can't believe…I mean she was a…well, you know," Darkflight stuttered as he tried to articulate the torrent of emotions he felt. Stonepelt let out a light laugh.
"Exactly how I felt when I first learned what she had been," the stone gray tom purred. Darkflight chuckled before falling silent. They listened together to the songs of the birds and the sweet wind playing with the leaves.
"I'll always love them," Darkflight finally meowed after a few moments. "I'll love them forever."
Stonepelt nodded sagely. Robin and Lionclaw came slipping from the undergrowth, supple muscles pounding beneath their gleaming coats.
When Darkflight caught sight of Lionclaw, his fur immediately bristled.
"Lionclaw," he spat, ears flat and eyes narrowed. Lionclaw halted, dark eyes burning angrily.
"Nobody told me he was here!" Lionclaw growled. "Why is he here?"
"I should be asking the same to you!"
"Enough!"
Streampelt came striding out, in all her majesty.
Her gray fur lay flat and shone healthily in the moonlight. Her white paws hardly touched the ground. Her deep blue eyes glowed with all the light of StarClan and her tail lashed behind her.
"Stop acting like kits, we have four clans to save! Now, Lionclaw, to answer your question, your daughter killed Darkflight. We need to decide what to do next," Streampelt hissed.
Darkflight, who was glaring tauntingly at Lionclaw, now stared at him in shock.
"Your daughter is Featherpaw?" he gasped. Lionclaw nodded solemnly. Streampelt interrupted impatiently.
"We can go over the whole story later. Now, we must decide what actions to take against Featherpaw," she meowed commandingly.
All the cats in the clearing turned to her in shock. Lionclaw's mouth seemed to be trying to mouth words and Robin's eyes were narrowed to elegant green slants. She was the first to shake from the trance that seemed to be over them all.
"You mean whether or not to kill her?" she spat. The red she-cat's fur bristled and her tail lashed behind her. At once, all the cats began protesting at once, even Darkflight. Streampelt seemed taken aback, taking half a step back. Finally, Stonepelt managed to get himself heard over the chaos that had overtaken the clearing.
"Streampelt, with all due respect…have you lost your mind! You know we do not use the power vested in us for deeds such as that. Shame, shame for even suggesting such an idea!" Stonepelt exclaimed righteously. All the cats were nodding.
"Featherpaw has made mistakes, yes, much like ourselves. She was pushed to do it. And even now, she is working to fix her mistakes," Robin mewed quietly. Lionclaw still seemed inarticulate, eyes wide with shock.
"If you kill my daughter, send me to the Dark Forest, for I will have no reason left to be happy," the brown tom hissed. His blue eyes flashed ice fire and his teeth were bared in a furious snarl.
At last, Darkflight stepped forward. "That she-cat killed me. She took my life and my family away, and StarClan knows they are suffering right now," he murmured, head bowed so they could not see his expression. His voice quavered with emotion.
"However, I have forgiven her, and I am willing to give her a chance to redeem herself. Just as you gave Lionclaw the chance. And look how well that turned out." The dark tom lifted his head and glanced at Lionclaw, who gave a grateful nod.
Streampelt sat silent for a moment. Just as she opened her mouth to speak, the cats became aware of another ethereal presence.
Lilyfur stepped from the shadows, beautiful light green eyes shining with the stars reflected in them.
"Streampelt, with all due respect, you are acting like a mouse-brain," the dappled she-cat laughed. All the cats stared at her in shock, even her son, Stonepelt. Streampelt gaped openly at her.
"Why are you so fixated on the apprentice? It is the rogue that is the problem, Streampelt. Please, act like the oldest being in these grounds," Lilyfur meowed before turning and padding away.
They were all silent for a long moment before Robin broke it.
"I believe that just about sums it up, don't you?"
Oh and by the way guyss, there is a poll for Thornpaw's warrior name on my profile! Please vote guys! I really need help! It would really mean a lot to me :)
~Ciao, Monkey!~
