Chapter 7
•••Wishingpelt
Flowerleaf seemed taken back by the harshness in my voice.
"It was an act! Willowstar did it so Brightstar wouldn't kill you. He knew you would come back eventually to protect the clan. I did it to look convincing. We needed someone to lead our clan. We knew the gathering would probably end in a fight," she explained.
I turned around and looked her in the eyes. Her eyes showed honesty," I guess that makes sense," I meowed.
"Please come back," she mewed.
"Willowstar views me as a traitor," I said.
"I know Wishingpelt," she said.
"Then why should I go back?!" I yowled.
"For me?" She mewed.
"I-I-I can't! Everybody else will want to exile me anyway!" I stammered.
"But–," Flowerleaf started.
I whirled around and ran," WISHINGPELT!" I heard Flowerleaf wail.
I started to run faster when I heard footsteps right beside me, it was Flowerleaf. She tackled me and pinned me to the ground.
"Please?" She asked.
"Fine whatever," I muttered.
She climbed off and we padded back to camp in silence. I scanned my surroundings. You could tell that leaf fall was apon us by the way the trees leaves turned a golden hazel, a burning red, and a light yellow color.
Finally the Cloudclan camp came into view, I trotted in and went to my mother. Slogo didn't look up when I entered.
"Strikepaw, could you please go get us some fresh moss?" She meowed.
"I would but I'm not Strikepaw," I mewed.
She looked up and no clear expression was written on her face. We both sort of stared at each other not knowing what to say or do.
Finally she broke the silence," you came back."
"Yes, I did," I nodded my head in confirmation.
"Even though you knew practically everyone would rip you to shreds," it was more of a statement than a question.
"Yes," I replied.

I sat in the middle of the clearing, my eyes focusing on nothing in particular. Cats moved around me as if I wasn't even there. Willowstar came out of his den.
"Hello Wishingpelt," his voice was filled with so much venom and hatred, he spat out my name like an old piece of chewed up gum.
"Hello Willowstar," my tone was nuetral not showing any signs of my emotions.
"Come here please," he ordered me with a flick of his tail towards his den, the cats that were in front of me parted as I walked towards his den.
I sat down across from Willowstar, for a while we were both a lose of words as we just stared at each other. The light outside was vanishing slowly but surely.
"Why have you come back?" Willowstar asked.
"To save my clan," I answered once again.
"I will punish you for leaving my clan, you are no longer deputy of my clan. Instead, Blueflash will be the new deputy of Cloudclan," his voice rumbled through out the den.
The den was filled with a soft moss floor and a bark wall that was from an ancient tree that had been carved out many many moons ago.
I dipped my head and walked out. I selected a nest that was away from the others and curled up with my head resting on top of my forepaws. My tail curled around my face blocking it off from other cats. My eyes clouded over as I thought back to the time where I had actually loved Willowstar.
After all I was his only kit. I sighed knowing that in reality he would never act as my father figure ever again. My mom and I never knew why he had suddenly stopped being a father figure to me, I guess being a leader changes a cat and sometimes it's not in a good way.
I got my looks from both parents. My fur was a snow white color with patches of silver here and there, this I got from my mother who's fur was white and tinged with gray. My eyes, which were an ocean blue color, I got from my father.
I don't know why he doesn't like me very much, ever since I had become best friends with Darkshadow. I hadn't realised I was all alone until I heard paws on the ground that laid in front of me.
"Willowstar has called a clan meeting," I heard a voice meow to me.
I uncurled myself and padded into the clearing.
"As many of you already know, Wishingpelt has returned. But he left our clan! No loyal deputy of mine will do such a thing! So for now forth Blueflash will be the new deputy of Cloudclan," Willowstar announced.
"All Wishingpelt ever did was save us," my mothers voice echoed through the clearing.
"He is no longer deputy!" My father mewed to my mother.
"Why do you hate him so much? He saved you from dieing! You would have died but he saved your furry tail from being shredded from Brightstar he put his life on the line for yours! And this is how you repay him? By taking away his deputy title?" my mother shouted at him, the fur along her spine was bristling.
"No cat should talk to his/her leader with such disrespect a leaders word goes!" He yelled back at her.
"But it's not fair!" She wailed.
Suddenly he lunged for her, I ran forward and took the blow. I heard no gasps from any of the surrounding cats. My side was now bleeding heavily from Willowstars blow. Blood covered the grass surrounding me turning it a crimson color. My eyes flashed with pain.
"That'll teach you not to get in front of me when I attack," Willowstar snarled.
"If you hate me so much then why don't you just end it and kill me?" I asked.
He gave no answer, he just turned around and walked towards his den. Cinderpaw, now Cinderleaf tended to my wounds. Leafdapple had been killed in the last battle. I looked to my mom who looked heart broken, but in all honesty I couldn't blame her, not one bit.
Her mate was now a physco cat. Suddenly everything went black, my vision, my hearing, my senses as I fell over. I didn't even feel the impact as my limp form of a body fell to the ground.
