Brightheart's Revenge

An Unforgiven Grudge

Sorry that I had to put this on hold. . . No one even reads this. . . And if some people do, I think there are mostly ghost readers o.O

Okay and btw, when this doesn't continue, please read my book The Tribe of Rotting Skulls! Just skip a few chapters or something . . . I know how bad the first chapter is!

And... I spiced up this up a bit! You'll be surprised of what you'll find! c:

•~•-•~•-•~•-•~•-•

     A few moons had gone by. Dovewing's secret was reviled along with Lionblaze's and Jayfeather's. Dovewing could hear from a long ways away, Lionblaze could never be beaten in battle and Jayfeather can see in other people's dreams and can see in dreams.
      And now, the Dark Forest battle was won and life was now back to normal. Having three kits, Dewkit, Amberkit and Snowkit, may have been a pain in my rump, but it was worth it. They were a pleasure to have. Now, they were apprentices; happily being helpers.
     Purdy died from greencough not long ago, leaving Graystripe alone. Dustpelt said he would be leaving for the elder's den not long from now. Sandstorm, too, was starting to grow white flecks on her muzzle. Jayfeather finally got an apprentice, though as much as he hates having one, he has started to make good friends with her. It was Dewpaw who wanted to become one so badly. Though I was disappointed that she wasn't going to be a warrior, I am happy that she is happy.
     Dovewing kitted to 4 healthy kits; no one is sure who the father to the kits are, but we all are suspecting Bumblestripe, Softkit, Stonekit, Oakkit and Heatherkit are her kits. Softkit is pale gray with a white muzzle and tail tip with one yellow eye and the other light blue, Stonekit is dark gray fully with light blue eyes, Oakkit is a light brown tabby with yellow eyes and Heatherkit is light brown with one gray paw and milky blue eyes. They bring such good attitudes and don't argue with anything. Except for Stonekit. He thinks he is the leader of the 4 and tells them what to do.
      Also, Rosepetal kitted 2 healthy kits. Her mate is Mousewhisker, which is odd because they never seemed to show any affection towards each other. The kits' names are Dawnkit and Gorsekit. Gorsekit is more of a shy kit while Dawnkit isn't afraid of anything, so she says. While we've all seen her jump at running cats, she still insists that she isn't afraid of anything.
     Now, cats stirred as the sun came up, I was put on duty to guard the camp.
     I fluffed out my fur, the breeze stirring through and bugging me. I grunted, muttering to myself, "Why today? I hate being on guard!" I narrowed my eyes at the trees outside of camp, watching closely as they swayed. "See anything?" A cat behind me asked. I gasped and jumped up in the air, my fur standing on end. I slid out my claws and hissed as I realized it was only Cloudtail. "Cloudtail! You scared me! Don't do that!" I growled, shock pulsing through my veins. "Oh my, I'm sorry." He purred. He sat down beside me and watched the trees sway. I laid my fur flat again and watched as well.
      "So, did you see anything suspicious?" He repeated. "Suspicious?" I echoed. "No! Its been so boring out here. All that happened was trees "threatening" to fall on us." Cloudtail purred and got up, "Well, that was boring." He muttered. "Lets go ask to be on a hunting patrol together." I followed on his tail as he padded up to Squirrelflight who was stretching just outside of the warriors den.
      "Cloudtail, Brightheart," She dipped her head to me and Cloudtail and went back to grooming her fur. "Morning Squirrelflight." Cloudtail mewed, "Could Brightheart and I go hunting together?" She nodded, "Sure, be back soon!" She smiled, waving her tail goodbye.
     We padded off and out of the camp, padding to the edge of the territory. Cloudtail stopped and tasted the air. When he looked at me he moved his head to tell my to follow. I did so and we stalked towards the territory line between our side and the woods that we didn't own. A squirrel was eating a few seeds when we saw him. "Cloudtail, we can't hunt prey on the outside of our territory." I whispered. He rolled his eyes, "Watch me. They won't notice." He then stalked out of the territory and over to where the squirrel was. He pounced without warning and landed firmly on the squirrels back, snapping its neck with ease.
      "Great catch Cloudtail!" I mewed happily as he padded closer. 'Good thing it's still green-leaf, we'll need all the prey we can get... Leaf-fall is on it's way.'
     We padded away and looked for more prey. I finally found a mouse but just as I went to stalk up to it, I stepped on a twig. 'Mouse-dung!' I hissed in my mind, running after it. With one eye, I could only see it one way and in a blink of an eye, it was gone in a hole. "Why did those stupid dogs have to come over and ruin my eye? Why can't StarClan fix it?" I growled and I slashed the ground in frustration. Cloudtail came over and rested his tail tip on my shoulder to comfort me. "It's alright, Brightheart, everything happens for a reason. Sometimes, we aren't sure for a long time why these things happen but they do, and theres always a reason," he whispered.
     I slumped my shoulders and Cloudtail grabbed his squirrel, "Lets go back to camp before they start to worry," he mewed through the fur of the dead squirrel. I nodded and stood up, following him from behind him.
     I felt so empty without prey in my jaws, I'm not used to it. I mean, obviously I've lost prey before but I always feel empty. An idea binged in my head and I ran at a rock, clawing off the moss and carrying it to stand beside Cloudtail. He gave me a look and kept walking. "I can't stand not carrying something to camp," I informed. He nodded and kept padding along.
     We were almost back to camp when I smelt a suspicious smell, like a different Clan kind of smell. I looked beside me and I saw that Cloudtail was a bit behind me. "You smell it too?" He asked. I nodded. He looked behind him and I looked over my shoulder more. The bushes were swaying and the breeze wasn't as strong as the bushes were going. I narrowed my eyes in curiosity and my eyes widened like an owls. I saw an ear and I padded up to Cloudtail, "I see something..." I whispered and he nodded, "Go get help..." Cloudtail hissed and I hesitated, but I did so anyway.
     Dashing through the trees towards the camp, a low branch whacked me in the face causing me to stumble. I continued running through the forest until a loud yowl caused me to look over my shoulder. I tripped over a stump and dramatically rolled over and over until I ran into someone. Winded, I stood up and shook my fur out, looking into the deep blue eyes of Whitewing. "Get Bramblestar! We're under attack!" I growled, it took the rest of my breath to do so.
     "Under attack? By who?" She asked, stepping back. "No time to explain, hurry! Go get him!" Whitewing nodded and ran into camp while I sat down to catch my breath. After a bit of waiting, Bramblestar and a load of cats came out of the entrance.
"ShadowClan brung the whole Clan out! Cloudtail is alone and we need to hurry," I told them, running on the spot. Bramblestar nodded and turned to the cats he gathered up, "Toadstep, take Sorreltail, Blossomfall, Bumblestripe, Ivypool, and Poppyfrost to the battle, Brightheart, take them now. Cinderheart, Lionblaze, Foxleap, Hazeltail, Cherrypaw and Molepaw go around to the back," He announced. I gathered the cats and we started running through the forest, towards the battle.
     I dashed through the forest until I could see the battle. ShadowClan had Cloudtail fighting for his dear life. The patrol I had dived at the cats and tumbled with them. Ignoring the pain in my legs from running, I grabbed a cat by it's neck and pinned him down. He immediately started kicking my stomach and I slashed at his face. He hissed and slashed my jaw line and I did it back.
     Grabbing his neck, I made him screech and I let him go, letting him flee away. I ran at a cat who was about to jump at Cherrypaw. Leaping up at his shoulder, I pushed him down onto the ground and started clawing him. He rolled me over and I kicked him as hard as I could, making him fall over. We started rolling down a hill in a ball of fur and blood.
     I hissed at him and he growled in return, kicking me brutally off of him. I was flown into a tree; my vision blurred and shoulders soar, I stoof back up ad lashed my tail in frustration. The cat grinned and flicked an ear, lashing his tail back. "I'll make your Clan scream for mercy and make you flee, leaving your pityfull Clan in shame," he threatened, stepping one paw closer. A growl formed in my throat and I showed my teeth, "Try me, weakling," I hissed.
     Letting the cat leap at me, I slid out of the way and let him crash into the tree trunk. I quickly ran at him and grabbed his throat, thrashing him around. 'What am I doing? This isn't like me!' I asked my self, letting the cat drop as my teeth started to tear his skin. "I'm giving you the chance to run now, or flee with battle scars," I murmured, my head over his. "I will never flee from a battle!" He yowled,slashing my face with his thorn sharp claws. My head twisted to the side as the impact caused my head to turn. In defence, I slashed back, but with both paws and just as hard. He dove for my neck and I jumped up, landing firmly on him. I dug my claws into his spine and his screech in pain made me flinch slightly.
     I got off him and picked him up by the scruff, slicing his chest over and over as he thrashed in my grip. He got out of my grip and turned tail, fleeing for the safety of his territory. "And never come back!" I called to him. I looked to my paws and saw blood. I whipped it off and onto the grass. "Gross. I don't need to go into camp with bloody paws! It's bad enough with my body covered..." I murmured to myself.
     Out of breath and the scratches burning, I limped up the hill and back to the battle. More cats had come into the fight, ThunderClan and ShadowClan both. I sighed and unsheathed my claws again, dashing into the battle. The first cat that came into my sight was attacking Molepaw; I dashed in as she was aiming for his neck, pushing my tired muscles as fast as they would go I pushed her just as she got ahold of him. She squealed in shock as she tumbled into a tree trunk, causing leaves to fall. 
     I purred slightly as she sneezed. I hissed to myself that this was serious then ran at her again. She stood up and shook her fur as I got to her, pushing her down and clawing at her face. She yelped and kicked me off of her, hissing in frustration. I landed beside a boulder and I looked back at her.
     I growled at her as she lashed her tail, beads of blood forming on her face, running down into her mouth. She didn't seem to notice, really. I hissed one final time and she grunted as she leaped for me. Just as I went to dodge, another cat banged into her. "She was mine!" I yelled in frustration. I rolled my eye and in the corner of my eye, I saw a ball of white fur curled up in the center of the clearing.
      My heart started to pound faster and faster as I started to realize who it was. I ran over to the ball of fur and the scent of blood over whelmed me. A small pinch of ThunderClan washed over my scenes and grief took me down. My eye saw that a puddle of blood had formed beside his neck, his white coat crusted and stained with the red color of blood. My eye started to blur in grief.
     'No! Cloudtail, please!' I begged silently, thoughts whirling through my head. I nudged his neck with my nose and his head fell back down to the ground without much more thump. My eye was wider then it ever was before, a lump of emotion caught in my throat. Cloudtail laid cold, motionless, dead. I shook my head. 
     'How could a day so perfect change with the blink of an eye?'
