Chapter 13: Loyalty at it's worst
Bramblestar growled under his breath. Arrogant furball. At least he didn't have to put up with him much longer, soon the golden warrior would be gone. "Mousewhisker, what about you?" To be honest, Mousewhisker was a tricky one, Bramblestar didn't know if he was loyal or had to be kicked out. He had always been a good warrior, and didn't seem the cat that would go and be a traitor. However, he had trained in the dark forest. That was not good. He looked at the warrior now and saw a huge amount of fear in his eyes. Also Bramblestar found, loss? Grief? For who? The grey tom's eyes were bloodshot and hazy. He obviously hadn't been getting sleep. I don't remember Mousewhisker being close to anyone who died... Bramblestar pondered on who was it that Mousewhisker was clearly grieving for but he couldn't figure out who. The only possibility is Hollyleaf but, they were never close.. or were they?..
"Mousewhisker, you trained in the dark forest, but I can't make a decision on your fate. So, what is your choice?"
Mousewhisker looked surprised by being given freedom to choose his destiny, he looked at his paws for a long time then eventually looked up at Bramblestar. "I-I.." the tom looked back down to his paws. "Bramblestar, I think, I need to leave. I need a fresh start, there are too many memories here. They, rip me apart every day." Mousewhisker closed his eyes, he looked like he was in terrible pain. Bramblestar felt a stab of pain enter his heart, this cat looked heartbroken. It reminded Bramblestar of Squirrelflight when they quarrelled. "Mousewhisker, you may leave if that is your wish. Speak to me after."
Mousewhisker nodded and sat next to Thornclaw. "Blossomfall, come forward."
The delicate, spotted tortoiseshell she cat padded forward. "Blossomfall, you trained in the dark forest, where you aware of what you were doing?"
Blossomfall's green eyes narrowed to slits and she spat "YES! I do! They noticed me! Unlike my own mother! I don't want to stay here! I want my mother dead!" She swung her head at Millie and hissed at her. Millie's face was a mixture of outrage and hurt. "Bl-Blossomfall, what have you become?" she whispered.
"What YOU made me!" Blossomfall screamed. She pelted to the camp entrance to see Briarlight sitting in her way. Bramblestar watched in horror, his heart in his mouth wondering what the heart broken she cat would do next.
"Get out of my way Briarlight." Blossomfall hissed.
"No, Blossomfall, we can talk this out, we're siblings, we're sisters." The damaged she cat pleaded.
Blossomfall yowled them dealt a blow to her sister's head and ran out of the camp. Briarlight slumped to the ground, her head bleeding heavily, a scarlet pool grew steadily around her. "Briarlight!" screamed Bumblestripe. Bramblestar leaped off the high ledge and sprinted towards the crippled she cat. She was knocked out, and her blood was persistent.
