CHAPTER 13
(Bramblesky's POV)
Bramblesky padded across the tree bridge, Moorpaw beside her. She'd been comforting the brown tom about Mistyeyes almost the whole day even though she had left three sunrises ago. Not looking where she was going Bramblesky's paws slipped on the bark and she fell towards the lake.
"Help!" she yowled. Moorpaw surged forward but wasn't quick enough, Bramblesky plunged into the churning black water below. Being a WindClan cat she didn't know how to swim, she began to sink to the bottom, oh StarClan I'm going to die! A flash of grey and white fur darkened her vision and her head was thrust above the surface. Who? Then she saw Rainpaw's sparkling blue eyes and she breathed in his sweet scent. "Rainpaw!" she managed to cough, she glanced up towards her Clan mates. Moorpaw is making his way towards them, his green eyes dark. Crowmist and Cloudstar are watching from the island. A few RiverClan warriors are waiting for Rainpaw, a pretty tabby she-cat, a large gray tom and Ferntail.
"Rainpaw!" the tabby she-cat chirped her emerald green eyes shining, she rushed towards Rainpaw. Bramblesky felt a twinge of jealousy but it died down when he turned to the she-cat and snarled, "Go away Shiningpaw!" Shiningpaw opened her mouth for a stinging retort but the gray tom glared at her and she backed off.
Ferntail looked at her apprentice suspiciously, "Well Rainpaw, you just dived to your death to save Bramblepaw-"
"Bramblesky" Bramblesky corrected her, Rainpaw's eyes gleam happily.
"Great job" he whispered, Bramblesky purred.
Ferntail continued, "Whatever, the point is Rainpaw you just dove off the tree bridge to save her" she meowed disgustedly flicking her tail towards Bramblesky.
"Your point exactly?" Bramblesky snapped.
Ferntail's fur bristles, "Your WindClan!" she rolled her eyes as though the answer was obvious.
"I'll deal with Rainpaw when we get back to camp," a brown tabby tom Bramblesky recognized as Runningstar meowed sharply flicking his tail. Rainpaw moved from Bramblesky's side and he glanced at his leader, opened his mouth as if he were to say something, he stops shook his head and padded off. Bramblesky dipped her head to the RiverClan leader before following, her pelt dripping with water.
"ShadowClan is doing fire despite the hardness of Leaf Bare. Nightpool recently kitted Clawstrike's kits there names are: Onekit, Petalkit and Marshkit." Nettlestar reported stepping back so that Cloudstar could take his place.
"WindClan is well, we have two new warriors. Bramblesky and her friend who recently left the Clan Mistyeyes, she now prefers to be called Alice," Cloudstar yowled.
"Bramblesky, Bramblesky," no one chanted Mistyeye's name and it made Bramblesky's fur bristle.
"Speaking of Alice we recently found her on ThunderClan territory and we are holding her prisoner and are hoping that WindClan will bargain prey or territory for her!" Birdstar announced, gasps for shock rose from WindClan. Moorpaw shifted uncomfortably next to Bramblesky.
Cloudstar flicked his tail for silence, "We will not Birdstar. She is no longer WindClan," Cloudstar growled through clenched teeth, Bramblesky could see he was trying hard not to show how sad he was. She had suspected for some time that Cloudstar had liked her friend but she hadn't said anything.
"But she's my best friend!" Bramblesky yowled.
Cloudstar glared at her, "That is my final decision!" he growled, Bramblesky resisted a harsh retort. Birdstar looked surprised but said nothing.
Runningstar stepped forward, "RiverClan is well, we have began to hunt mice because the river has frozen over. Also we have three new apprentices, Shiningpaw, Moonpaw and Redpaw!" Runningstar announced, Bramblesky glanced towards the pretty tabby she'd seen earlier. She obviously liked Rainpaw, he was a very handsome cat. And Shiningpaw was the prettiest apprentice Bramblesky had ever seen, she glanced down at her own dirty brown fur. It was sleek but her ears were fluffy making her feel awkward. Bramblesky had never really cared about her appearance before but now if there were she-cats like that in RiverClan Rainpaw could easily fall for them.
"Shiningpaw! Moonpaw! Redpaw!" the Clans chanted, Bramblesky looked at the two other apprentices. A very fluffy silver tom with bright blue eyes and a ginger furred she-cat. Bramblesky guessed the silver tom was Moonpaw and the ginger she-cat was Redpaw.
"That is all" Runningstar meowed stepping back but Rainpaw got to his paws,
"Actually Mossystar, I'd like to leave RiverClan!" he yowled. Bramblesky stared at him, No! I can't lose you! You become a rogue! She thought, tears beginning to form in her deep blue eyes.
"And where would you go?" Runningstar asked glancing at Bramblesky.
"WindClan. If they'll have me. I...I love Bramblesky!" Rainpaw admitted his voice echoed around the island. Runningstar turned to Cloudstar, his eyes were wide but amusement glistened in them.
Bramblesky turned to face her leader getting to her paws to stand beside Rainpaw, "If you don't take him in, I'll leave!" she vowed.
Cloudstar shook his head, "I wasn't going to say no. Rainpaw and I already talked about this, after all WindClan did save him and I knew he liked Bramblesky for caring for him. Neither of them broke the warrior code, its not like they were meeting at night?" Cloudstar raised the question.
Bramblesky gulps, "No, no sir" she managed holding back her secret. Cloudstar nodded thoughtfully, "Then Runningstar if you'll let us have him. WindClan will take in Rainpaw," he meowed challenge in his voice. Runningstar flicked his tail angrily. Bramblesky glanced at Shiningpaw, she was blinking hard as though trying to stop herself from crying.
"Fine take him! It's not like RiverClan would want this traitor in our ranks!" Runningstar spat.
Cloudstar dipped his head, "Rainpaw is no traitor, he is simply a cat who doesn't admit his love."
