Chapter 22 sorreltail, hawkfrost
Sorreltail, pov
Blood is all I can smell, I turn looking at the road, the body of Hawkfrost, lay by the other side, the blind cat Jaypaw, purring. Why is he happy? I stalk over to the road side anger flooding my fur down to my claws. Ears flat I swiped a unsheathed paw at Jaypaw. "What did you do?" I snarl looking down at Hawkfrost, broken body. His whiskers broken and bent, his back leg bent at a awkward angle. I choke back a sob, I pray to starclan that he it not dead.
I press my muzzle Into his fur, I feel his warmth, fading, tears fell from my eyes. Soaking his fur. I neaded my paws into his fur, wanting him to breathe. I push hard on his chest. I've seen Leaf pool do this before I just hope I'm doing it right. After the sixthed, paw push Hawkfrost, opened his eyes with a cough. "Thank starclan!" She breathed, as he rose to his paws. SIERRAPAW and ebonypaw, Baypaw. And there mentors. Jaypaw, and lionpaw.
Sorreltail hissed at jaypaw, and Lionpaw.
"What did you do? " she snarled at the blue grey tom. Lionpaw took a protective stance in front of him. Sorreltail took a step back. SNOWbird placed her tail on Sorreltail, "easy, perhaps Jaypaw, thought it was safe to cross. He is blind remember?"
Sorreltail huffed, "I'm sure your right but that's no reason to take leave of his sanity . Hawkfrist could have been killed and then I would have to tell Leaf pool that I killed her mate by not stopping Jaypaw from crossing. " she choked back another sob.
Hawkfrost, stood beside her, taking in the sight of the mountains just a head of them.
"Let's go."
I hope I can survive because last I heard from the medicine cats cuz I'm expecting kits but I wanted to come.
Hawkfrost, pov
I know that Jay paw pushed me into that monster, I'm just lucky that it did not work as he planned nut Starclan, I wish he would die.
Then I shook my head that is not the way for a warrior to think, to want to plot the murder of a Young Apprentice is against the warrior code not who he is just don't cat.
I will keep a close eye on you!
They traveled the rest of the day with out delays or strife.
Crowfeather hung to the back of the group. Hawkfrost went 2 him. He asked the grey Tom what was wrong and Crowfeather was upset that he could not defeand his new home and when he did cats died And he was cast out. So he is finding it hard to go back but his wife wants 2 check on the "to-be's"
And so they marched on wArd until by the end of the fourth day they reach the mountains.
Now the mountain battle can begin. Hawkfrost thought as he gazed at the mountains in the settings sun his thoughts on Leafpool wondering how she was. Stay safe my love I soon will return
