CHAPTER 15
(Bramblesky's POV)
Bramblesky deposited a rabbit on the fresh-kill pile, her old mentor, Chippedbird gave her an approving nod before picking up the rabbit and padding over to sit beside his mate Deepfern. Bramblesky licked her chest fur, at least she wasn't being treated bad because of Rainpaw. She wished she could say the same for him! Bramblesky scanned the camp, Littlepaw padded over to her.
"He's not here, Cloudstar took him hunting!" she meowed, Cloudstar had decided to mentor Rainpaw himself, which made Bramblesky uneasy but hopeful at the same time.
"How did you-?" Bramblesky began.
"Who else would you be looking for?" Littlepaw joked.
"Actually Moorpaw" Bramblesky retorted.
Littlepaw's eyes grow dark, "Oh, yes. I saw him in the warriors den earlier" she mumbled.
"The what? He's an apprentice!" Bramblesky yowled racing for the den, she slipped inside. Moorpaw is crouched in Alice's nest his green eyes glazed and his brown fur spiked. Bramblesky stared expectantly at Vinetail and Branchfall.
"He's not doing any harm," Vinetail murmured sympathy in her voice, Bramblesky nodded to her before padding towards Moorpaw. Upon reaching the nest Alice's scent drifted from it, stale yet warm. Bramblesky sighed, oh Alice I miss you!
Moorpaw looked up at her, his green eyes glazed with sadness, "She's gone Bramblesky gone! And she doesn't love me, she doesn't love me! She didn't want me with her!" Moorpaw murmured his voice heavy.
"Have you eaten anything today?" Bramblesky asked.
Moorpaw shook his head, "Too sad to eat," he mumbled.
"Go eat something." Bramblesky ordered, Moorpaw opened his mouth to object but decided otherwise.
"Alright" he sighed and padded from the den. Bramblesky followed nodding to Vinetail and Branchfall on the way out. She padded from the warriors den just as Rainpaw walked into the clearing.
He rushed over to her, "Cloudstar taught me how to catch a rabbit! He told me I'm fast for a RiverClan cat, I almost out ran him!" he exclaimed.
Bramblesky purred and rubbed up against him, "That's great!" she praised just as Cloudstar padded over to his apprentice.
"Well Bramblesky your RiverClan friend sure can run, I'm glad we took him in." he meowed, Bramblesky purred even louder.
Then she glanced in Moorpaw's direction, and leaned closer to Rainpaw, "Hey Rainpaw, will you...uhh watch Moorpaw I'm afraid he'll do something stupid like follow Alice" she murmured, Rainpaw nodded to her his blue eyes gleaming in the soft amber light.
"Of course," he whispered before padding over tom, tail held high.
"Bramblesky lead a hunting patrol, take Redwing, Wildflame, Vinetail and Moor-Littlepaw" Crowmist corrected glancing across the clearing at Moorpaw, Rainpaw was muttering something to him but Moorpaw didn't look any better.
"Of course! Come on guys!" Bramblesky meowed, her heart was beating quickly, she'd never led a patrol before! Bramblesky flicked her tail and her patrol followed her out of camp and onto the moor.
"Where to?" Vinetail asked.
"ThunderClan border" Bramblesky blurted out.
"Risky" Redwing mutters, but she didn't object. Bramblesky wanted to change where they were going to hunt, but decided it would look to unprofessional. Littlepaw bounced ahead her eyes glistening and her fur spiking, she'd grown in the last moon and was almost as big as Bramblesky. She Moorpaw and Softpaw will be warriors soon! Bramblesky remembered, that they were only a moon younger than her. Once they reached the ThunderClan border, there greeted by a patrol of hostile warriors.
"What do you want?" a large black tom asked.
"We're just here to hunt." Redwing snarled, Bramblesky nudged the ginger she-cat to remind her that she was the head to the patrol.
"Greetings, we are aloud to hunt on our own territory, you know that I'm sure?" she sneered.
The tom narrowed his eyes at her, "Your Bramblesky, I'd like to tell you your stupid friend escaped yesterday!" he informed her, Bramblesky couldn't help but smile.
"We ran into a ShadowClan patrol just now, they captured, a brown tom by the name of Moorpaw. And the gray and white tom from the gathering, Rainpaw was it? They found them in their territory sneaking about! Their bringing them to their camp." a white she-cat meowed. Bramblesky's heart stopped.
"So ShadowClan and ThunderClan are together now?" Redwing asked, the tom nodded as though it were obvious.
"Hey umm I have a thorn in my pad. I'm going to go back to camp and have Dawnfire check it out, Redwing you lead the patrol." Bramblesky meowed, before haring off but not towards camp towards ShadowClan territory.
