Ch.17

"Brookrun! Behind you!" Brookrun heard Ashcreek whisper before a huge weight drove Brookrun off her feet.

Brookrun knew that this she-cat wasn't ShadowClan. The she-cat was WindClan, a cat named Grasswhisker. Brookrun flew up and landed a hard blow in Grasswhisker's chest. Grasswhisker reeled back and went limp. Brookrun nervously stepped towards Grasswhisker to pin her down. Before she knew it Grasswhisker was back up and slashing at her fluffy belly. Brookrun let out a caterwaul of pain and threw Grasswhisker off of her. Brookrun snarled at Grasswhisker and dodged in and out scoring gashes across Grasswhisker's legs and lower chest. All the sudden Grasswhisker pounced on Brookrun and raised a claw to cut open her throat.

"No!" Brookrun heard Fishponds call.

A second later Fishpond had bowled Grasswhisker off of Brookrun and both of the ThunderClan cats had pinned the WindClan she-cat to the ground. All the sudden a scream arose from the crowd of fighting cats. Brookrun looked to see Cowpaw pinned to the ground by Echostar. A second later Honeystar bowled Echostar off of Cowpaw. Echostar pounced on Honeystar and slit her throat. The ThunderClan leader's body went limp on the ground. Brookrun just had time to let out a gasp before two ShadowClan toms pinned her to the ground. Before the toms could do anything to her Brookrun heard another cry, this time from the ShadowClan leader.

"ShadowClan, retreat!" Echostar called out.

"WindClan, retreat!" Jetstar gave the same command to his clan.

Brookrun slumped to the ground. She knew this battle was far from over. The purpose of this whole thing was to weaken ThunderClan so they would be forced to join WindClan and ShadowClan. Brookrun looked around the battle ground and heard several cries. Her eyes focused on three bodies slumped around the forest floor. Vineclaw, Seasong, and Poolsplash were dead and Honeystar had lost a life.

"Owlpaw, Lilypaw, Dirtpaw, and Cowpaw!" Honeystar's voice rang out.

The clan had finally made it back from the battle ground and Honeystar had decided that the four ThunderClan apprentices were ready to become warriors.

"Do you promise to defend your clan with your life?" Honeystar asked.

"I do," the four apprentices replied.

"Then from now on Owlpaw, you will be named Owlsight. Lilypaw, you will be known as Lilyflower. Dirtpaw, you will be known as Dirtsplash. Cowpaw, you will be known as Cowtail," Honeystar continued. "We welcome you as full warriors of ThunderClan!"

"Owlsight, Lilyflower, Dirtsplash, Cowtail!" the clan cheered.

"I also have a couple of announcements to make. Spottedsky will be moving to the nursery!"

"Spottedsky, Spottedsky!" the clan cheered.

Honeystar sighed, "Tonight we shall mourn Vineclaw, Seasong, and Poolsplash. Clan meeting dismissed."

Brookrun limped back to her nest and curled up. She hoped that she might be able to apprentice one of Spottedsky's kits. She knew it was unlikely though since Deerpath, Leafshine, and Fishpond still needed apprentices and she was blind. Slowly Brookrun drifted asleep.

A/N: I'm sorry to my cat for killing her mate in the book (Blizzardfur's character is based of my kitty, Caspurr) Don't worry to all Vineclaw fans... Blizzardfur will end up having Vineclaw's kit shortly... the kits really important to the book :) Sorry also to all Seasong/Poolsplash fans :/ Until next time, see ya!
