Ch.15
Brookrun stared out at the silent night and a shiver ran down her spine. The gathering had ended in chaos, again, after Jetstar and Echostar had demanded that the clans join together. Now she was sitting by the entrance tunnel in silence, as was the tradition after the naming of a new warrior. All the sudden she heard the crinkle of leaves in the distance and she sniffed the air. Immediately she ran to Honeystar's den.
"ShadowClan and WindClan! I heard and scented them in the forest!" Brookrun panted.
Honeystar got up, "Thanks for letting me know. You wake up the apprentices and Flamesky, I got the warriors. Be silent about it, we want them to think they have the advantage until the last moment; we'll trap them in the dens and the camp. Get Flamesky away from the camp, the rest of us can fight."
Brookrun ran over to the apprentices den, "Shh… WindClan and ShadowClan are coming towards camp. Honeystar needs you to trap them in the camp."
Cowpaw, Lilypaw, Owlpaw, and Dirtpaw quickly jumped out of their nests and Brookrun ran to the elders den.
"Flamesky!" Brookrun prodded the tom awake. "WindClan and ShadowClan are attacking. Honeystar's given me orders to take you away from camp where you'll be safe."
The old ginger tom slowly got up and stretched.
"Where are we heading?" he asked.
"The old twoleg den," Brookrun replied as she helped the elder out of camp.
The two cats made their way through the forest and Brookrun shuttered when she heard the screams behind her.
"Here, just stay hidden until a ThunderClan warrior tells you it is safe," Brookrun whispered as they reached the twoleg den.
Flamesky nodded his head and Brookrun rushed back to help her clan. She burst through the entrance and smelt a familiar scent.
"Dashfire!" she hissed.
"Brookrun," he replied as a growl rose in his throat.
Dashfire leaped at Brookrun and Brookrun reared up and implanted a paw into his chest, sending him off balance. She leaped to finish him off but a WindClan she-cat bowled Brookrun on to the ground.
The she-cats eyes lit-up in recognition and Brookrun knew the scent.
"Crystalheart… thanks," Brookrun whispered as the slate grey she-cat disappeared into battle.
Brookrun leaped up on rock to survey the battle. ThunderClan was twice as big as the other clans and they were evenly matched. All the sudden a flash of black fur knocked Brookrun off her perch.
She implanted a paw into the tom's scarred muzzle before re-gathering her footing.
"Jetstar… when will you ever give up?" Brookrun hissed.
The tom leaped at her hissing, "Never!"
Brookrun dodged Jetstar's attack and used his off-balance landing to give her enough time to unbalance him and quickly claw his back. Jetstar hissed in pain before bucking Brookrun off into the crowd of fighting cats. Brookrun struggled to get up as pain clenched her front paw. Finally she managed to stand on it and scamper off to the medicine den.
"What happened?" Hawkherb asked as he examined her paw.
"Jetstar," Brookrun replied.
"Again?" Hawkherb asked.
"Yep, don't know what he has against me, can I go back to fighting yet?" Brookrun asked.
"No, your paw's sprained and there is no way I'm going to let you walk on it for the next moon," Hawkherb snorted.
Brookrun sniffed for any familiar scents on the battle field.
"Shouldn't Honeystar send someone to RiverClan?" Brookrun asked.
"I think she thinks we got it covered. They're being driven back," Hawkherb replied.
All the sudden a yowl echoed in the distance. Brookrun froze.
Cowpaw came racing into camp, "Flamesky was found by some ShadowClan warriors… Rabbitleap tried to defend him… but then the ShadowClan warriors killed them both!" he cried.
Brookrun dipped her head in respect as the brown tom's body was carried back to camp. Honeystar jumped up on the Highrock and let out the gathering call.
"As all of you know, Flamesky and Rabbitleap were murdered by ShadowClan warriors. I will be appointing a new deputy. I say these words before the body of Rabbitleap, that he may hear and approve my choice. The next deputy of ThunderClan will be Swampmud!" Honeystar cheered.
"Swampmud, Swampmud, Swampmud!" the clan cheered.
Brookrun felt a wave of terror rush over her and she remember the ominous words of the prophecy, 'Swamp will combine the forest and oppress the good.'
