CHAPTER 16

(Moorpaw's POV)

Moorpaw watched as a black she-cat padded into the ShadowClan camp, she sat down next to Fallowblaze and Needlestar. He couldn't smile with pleasure when he looked at the scar Alice had left on the pretty white deputy. He turned to Rainpaw who was sitting next to him in the prisoner den, they gray and white tom cast him a wary but tired glance. As soon as Bramblesky's patrol had left they had sneaked into ThunderClan territory to try and find Alice, but they accidentally strayed into ShadowClan territory while looking for the ThunderClan camp and been caught by a patrol. The two toms had been taken to the ShadowClan camp and put in the prisoner den. Moorpaw turned his attention back to the three ShadowClanners discussing their fate, it seemed as if they had a lot of ideas. Finally the whispering stopped and a white furred she-cat appeared in the camp along with an apprentice who Moorpaw recognized as Shiningpaw from last night's gathering. Needlestar stood up, "Ahh, Palesplash, Shiningpaw how nice of you two to show up," the dark brown tom meowed.

Rainpaw stirred beside Moorpaw, "Mom!?" he asked surprise in his voice.

Moorpaw turned to look at Rainpaw, "That's your mom?!" Rainpaw nodded sadly.

Palesplash didn't notice the two toms, "Needlestar I'm here for Rainpaw you remember our deal don't you?" she cast a glance at the black she-cat.

"Yes, yes you bring me your newest litter of kits and I give you Rainpaw," Needlestar flicked his tail in annoyance, "Now where are the kits? ShadowClan needs strong new warriors if we're going to survive this coming leaf-bare."

"Their right here," Palesplash motioned to Shiningpaw and for the first time Moorpaw noticed three kits hiding underneath her belly.

"Mintkit, Beetlekit, and Bluekit," Rainpaw murmured under his breath, "StarClan not them!"

"Ahh yes," the ShadowClan leader meowed thoughtfully as he inspected the kits. He walked back to his place beside Fallowblaze, "Of course the blue-gray one is quite small, we will have to do away with her."

Moorpaw saw Palesplash stiffen, "Do what you want with them," she choked, "Just bring me my son."

The black she-cat and Fallowblaze walked over to the prisoner den, "Get up," the black she-cat ordered Rainpaw. He did as he was told and allowed himself to be led out of the den.

"Rainpaw!" his mother meowed running up to him but she was stopped by two ShadowClan toms.

"You can have him after you give us the kits," Needlestar meowed.

"Mom don't do it! I'm fine they won't hurt me!" Rainpaw yowled watching his mom struggle to get to him.

"I make no promises," Needlestar meowed unsheathing his claws.

Suddenly out of nowhere a flash of brown fur appeared and Needlestar was pinned to the ground, "Nobody move or your leader gets it," the cat meowed, Moorpaw realized it was Bramblesky. Fallowblaze stared angrily at young warrior but did nothing.

Moorpaw walked out of the prisoner den, no one attempted to stop him. He walked over to Shiningpaw, "If there's a fight the kits need to be safe," he whispered and she nodded.

Rainpaw had been staring at Bramblesky now spoke, "Mom take the kits and Shiningpaw and go back to RiverClan." Palesplash started to protest, "Now!" he snapped. The gray and white tom's mother sighed and lead the kits out of the camp.

Shiningpaw hesitated, "Rainpaw I-"

"Go," he meowed gruffly, "You shouldn't have gotten involved!" The pretty she-cat sniffed and ran after Palesplash.

"Now," Bramblesky's meow echoed throughout the camp, "Let Rainpaw and Moorpaw go in peace or Needlestar gets it!" she put her unsheathed claws dangerously close to the tabby leader's neck. The cats backed away as Moorpaw lead the wordless Rainpaw out of the camp. Bramblesky watched them go, a few seconds later she hared off after them, no cat dared follow.

Moorpaw sat with Rainpaw by the ThunderClan border, "Thanks," he mewed to Bramblesky as she crossed the border and sat down next to them.

"It was nothing," she meowed.

Rainpaw purred and swatted at her ear, "Yeah thanks!" Moorpaw could tell he was trying forget what had just happened. Moorpaw watched them play fight, me and Alice used to do that, he thought sadly. Not only did I put Rainpaw's life at stake but I never saved Alice, he thought glumly.

Bramblesky noticed the sad look on his face, "It's ok Moorpaw, when I was on a hunting patrol earlier we met a ThunderClan patrol who said Alice had escaped!"

Moorpaw brightened, "Really? She escaped!" The brown warrior nodded and got up. Moorpaw and Rainpaw did the same.

"We better head back to camp," Rainpaw meowed.

Bramblesky nodded, "You two mouse brains are going to be in so much trouble!" Rainpaw cuffed her ear playfully and they began to head back to camp.

Moorpaw followed Bramblesky into the camp, "Oh my preciouses kit!" Raintail meowed when she saw him. She ran up to him and began licking him.

"Mom!" Moorpaw said embarrassed.

"Moorpaw your ok!" his sister Softpaw said gleefully running up to him, Littlepaw behind her. Bramblesky looked at him, a look of amusement on her face. Cats began crowding around the three of them.

Cloudstar pushed through the crowd, "I will see the three of you in my den, now," he ordered. Moorpaw followed the white tom to his den, "Sit," the leader instructed, "Moorpaw," he turned to face the sandy brown tom, "I understand how sad you are about Alice, but that doesn't mean that you can put your clanmates life in danger!" Moorpaw nodded, "So I will let you off with a warning, you to Rainpaw," the tom nodded. "Bramblesky what you did was very brave, however you put yourself in danger and that could have gotten you killed! But I will let you off with a warning as well," He paused, "Now Talonkit, Darkkit, and Poolkit will be having their apprentice ceremony today. Bramblesky I have chosen you, Lilyflight and Jaybreeze to mentor them."

"Thank you Cloudstar," Bramblesky meowed respectfully.

Cloudstar nodded, "You three are dismissed," he mewed.

Bramblesky and Rainpaw padded out of the den but Moorpaw hung back, "Alice would be mentoring one of them if she was here wouldn't she," he said quietly.

"Yes," Cloudstar meowed a distant look in his blue eyes, "Yes she would."

Aww kind of a sad ending :( Anyways what did you think of the Moorpaw chapter? Tell us in a PM or review!
