Broken Relations (Warrior Cats S2 Book 1)

Chapter 13: I Need Advice

The clearing erupted in to chaos, just as it was that I had hoped not to happen before it was that I had even got here in the very first place any ways. It had not been that bad for the most part over the last few gatherings, besides some angry cats, but it was now going crazy all of the sudden, right now, after just what it was that PiperStar had in fact said, all at the exact same time too.
I breathed in quite a bit heavily to my self, as I could hear a ton of cats arguing right now, and it almost seemed like there was a fight that was about to brew between some of the cats right now, all at the exact same time too, once again. I felt like this was my time to step in and stop what ever it was that was going on right now, all at the exact same time as well, never the less.
I breathed in quite a bit heavily to my self, all at the exact same time too, as I then all of the sudden began to start to do as such a thing like that, all at the exact same time too, as I did my best to try to keep my self as calm, and as relaxed as it was that I felt like I possibly could, none the less. I then all of the sudden began to start to go right on ahead, and I stepped up and began to yell loudly to all of the cats that were in the clearing right now.
As soon as it was that I had in fact done as such a thing like that, all at the exact same time too, that was when I then all of the sudden began to start to see, and I began to start to notice that luckily enough for me, all of the cats had in fact noticed me doing as such a thing like that, all at the exact same time as well. I saw then all, all of the sudden begin to start to turn their heads over to me, all at once. I saw that a lot of them either did not look too happy with me, or were just not all too happy with what it was that was even going on right now, none the less.
I did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could, all at once, as I felt like a lot of them were not happy with me. I knew that a lot of the cats of the clans did not seem to like the fact that I always was the one that had to step up to lead. It did not make all too much sense to me as to just why they were like that, when I knew that I was the one that had the visions, and that I was the one that had in fact started all of this, all at the exact same time too, never the less.
I breathed in quite a bit heavily to my self, all at the exact same time too, as I then all of the sudden began to start to continue to speak to them, all at the exact same time too. I breathed in a bit of a soft sigh to my self, all at the exact same time too, as I did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could, all at the exact same time too. I knew that all of the cats right now, that were in fact here right at this very moment in time, in the very first place any ways, were in fact listening as to just what it was that I even had to say to them all, all at the exact same time as well, so I kind of felt like there was really not all too much that I really even needed to be worried about right at this very moment in time any ways, once again, never the less.
"Alright every one! Calm down! We need to get all of this sorted out before we come to conclusions... The gathering are meant to be a time of peace, so I would appreciate it if you did not attack each other!" I yelled to all of the cats, as I saw that a few of the cats did in fact seem to have a bit of some guilty looks on some of their faces, after just what it was that I had even just said, all at the exact same time too, as it was clear that they were in fact ready to go on ahead and attack, and fight, all at the exact same time as well. It seemed like there were still some cats that were getting used to the gathering stuff, as I felt like it might have been a good idea to make the new rules about bringing in rogues and kitty pets in to the clans. I then all of the sudden began to start to remember about StallionKit all of the sudden, all at the exact same time too, as I kind of felt a little bit guilty if I was not going to lie to my self, for the fact that I even thought on those thoughts, once again. I kind of just shook my head a little bit to my self all of the sudden, as I then all of the sudden began to start to turn my head over to PiperStar, all at the exact same time too, as I then began to start to nod to him, to let him know that I was in fact about to go on ahead and speak to him, all at the exact same time too. He just stared at me with a blank look on his face for just a bit of some time, as I eventually gave up on all of that other stuff, once again, as I then all of the sudden did in fact begin to start to speak to him either way, all at the exact same time as well, at that. "Who led the patrol that attacked your patrol? We had the same thing in our clan not all too much longer ago, we made amends... Nearly lost the life of Steve..."
I looked at PiperStar, all at the exact same time too, as I then all of the sudden began to start to see him squint his eyes over towards me, all at the exact same time as well. I felt like I might have made a little bit of a mistake on just what it was that I had in fact just said to the tom cat, as I felt like I might have messed up big time, all at the exact same time as well, as I kind of just began to start to breath in quite a bit heavily to my self, all at the exact same time too, as I did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could in the mean time, as I then all of the sudden got my mind, and I got my focus off of all of the rest of those other thoughts that I had in fact even been thinking on long before now.
Not only was it clear to me that PiperStar was not all too happy as to just what it was that I had just said, as that was due to the fact that I would have to guess that he did not like the fact that I had said make amends to a cat that had killed one of his own. I now also saw that SummerStar, from the back side of the tom cat, did not seem to be all too happy with just what it was that I had just said to PiperStar, all at the exact same time too, as I saw that she too did in fact also have her eyes squinted over towards me right now, all at the exact same time as well.
I was not all too sure as to just what it was that I should do, if I was going to be for real with my self, as I kind of felt like I was being split in a bunch of different directions right now, and I was not all too sure if it was good for me to step in right now, all at the exact same time as well. Perhaps I should have just let it be up to the Shadowclan leader, and the Skyclan leader to talk it out between each other, all at the exact same time too.
Perhaps the cats were right, and I should not step in to any thing, and every single situation that it seemed like went down between the clans, all at the exact same time as well. I kind of just felt a bit stupid, and a bit bad for it if I was not going to lie to my self, as I then all of the sudden began to start to dip my head a bit low to the ground, all at the exact same time too. I felt like I should just shut up, and just leave it be at this point, all at the exact same time as well.
I breathed in quite a bit heavily to my self, all at the exact same time too, as just as it was that I had in fact thought of those kind of thoughts, all at the exact same time too, that was when I then all of the sudden began to start to hear the voice of PiperStar, as I was not all too sure if it was that he was speaking back to me right now, or if he was speaking back to all of the clans, all at the exact same time too. I kind of lifted my head up either way, to see as to just what it was that was even going on right now, in the very first place any ways, at that.
As I tilted my head, all at once, once again, I then all of the sudden began to start to realize that PiperStar was in fact looking at me right in to my eyes right now, all at the exact same time too, as it was clear that the tom cat was in fact speaking back to me right now, all at the exact same time too. I did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could, all at the exact same time as well, as I hoped that he was not upset at me what so ever, at all, right now.
I just kind of shook my head over towards him, all at the exact same time too, once again. I let out a bit of a soft sigh to my self, all at once, as soon as it was that I had in fact been thinking on that, all at the exact same time as well, once again. Just as it was that I had in fact done as such a thing like that, all at the exact same time too, that was when he then began to start to continue to speak to me, all at the exact same time too, as it was clear that he did in fact now know that I was in fact paying attention to him right now.
I could tell that he was not all too happy with all that was going on at all right now, all at the exact same time too, as I then all of the sudden began to start to get my mind, and I began to start to get my focus more or less on all of that, all at the exact same time as well. I stared at him for just a little bit longer, as I then did in fact begin to start to listen as to just what it was that he even had to say to me, all at the exact same time as well, once again.
"Yeah... I know exactly who it was..." He said to me, as he had his eyes squinted over towards me, all at the exact same time as well, as he then all of the sudden began to start to walk past me, all at the exact same time too, as he began to start to go right on ahead and he began to start to get on top of the tall rock, all at the exact same time too, all at once. I kind of blinked my eyes a few times, all at the exact same time too, as I was not all too sure as to just what it was that was even going on still, nor was I all too sure as to just what it was that I should even do my self about all of this, all at the exact same time too, as I kind of figured that I should just let it sort its self out, just as it was that I had in fact been thinking on long before now, once again. Just as it was that I had in fact thought about that they way that it was that I had, all at the exact same time too, that was when he then began to start to step up and yell to all of the cats that were below him, all at once, which I felt like might not be the best idea, if I was not going to lie to my self either, but I did in fact begin to start to listen as to just what it was that he even had to say, all at the exact same time as well, either way. "DustEyes, this is not the first time you have led a patrol out to attack clans, and this time you killed a cat..."
I looked at PiperStar for just a few more moments, as I then began to start to realize as to just what it was that he had even said, all at the exact same time as well, as I felt like this should really not surprise me as to just what it was that he had even said what so ever, all at the exact same time too, as I knew that DustEyes was in fact known to go out of his way and cause trouble, and get some cats hurt very badly.
This time, it was a lot more serious how ever, as this time he had led to the death of a cat, if he had not killed the cat him self, all at the exact same time too, which I felt like very well could in fact be a possiblity, all at the exact same time too, if I was in fact going to be for real with my self, once again. I kind of just stood there, and I stared for just a few moments longer, all at the exact same time too, as I got my mind, and I got my focus off of all of those other thoughts that I had in fact even been thinking on long before now, once again, none the less.
I then looked down as to just where it was that I could in fact see DustEyes at right now, all at the exact same time as well, as it was not hard for me to spot him in the crowd, all at the exact same time too, as that was due to the fact that I saw that there were in fact a lot of cats that were in fact looking at him right now, all at the exact same time too. He for some reason as well, also seemed to have his head held high, as it seemed like he was proud of him self, and he was bragging about just what it was that he had done.
I could almost hear his voice in his head speaking to me, all at the exact same time too, 'one down, several more to go!' I felt like I had heard. I kind of was a little bit upset at it my self, if I was not going to lie to my self either, all at the exact same time too, as I breathed in quite a bit heavily to my self, all at the exact same time too, once again, as I then all of the sudden began to start to squint my eyes over towards the tom cat.
I was not going to lie to my self, even if it was that I had wanted to step in and say some thing this time, I was not going to do as such a thing either way. I was quite a bit scared of that tom cat, as I had never really under stood him, and I knew that he had done a lot of bad things whilst he had been in the clans, all at the exact same time too. I was not all too sure as to just why it was that NettleStar trusted him so much in the very first place any ways, if I was not going to lie to my self either, as I felt like that was not very smart to do, none the less, as he had caused a lot of drama between his clan and a few others, none the less.
I breathed in quite a bit heavily to my self, as I was about to turn my head over to NettleStar, as I thought of him, when I then all of the sudden began to start to hear the voice of DustEyes, as he began to start to speak up in stead, all at the exact same time too. I kind of just began to start to breath in quite a bit heavily to my self once again, as I then all of the sudden did in fact begin to start to turn my head over to his direction, all at the exact same time as well, once again.
I really did not want to look over to him, it I was not going to lie to my self either, as I could see that he had the same smile that he had just a few moments before hand, after just what it was that PiperStar had even just said about him. It felt quite a bit strange to me, if I was going to be for real with my self, as it almost seemed like he was in fact bragging about the fact that he had in fact killed a cat, all at the exact same time too. That was not exactly some thing that you wanted to be bragging about what so ever, if I was in fact going to be for real with my self, none the less.
I did my best to just try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could, all at the exact same time too, as I kind of just stared at the tom cat right in to his eyes. He just seemed to be staring at PiperStar, luckily enough for me, all at the exact same time as well, as I let out a bit of a soft sigh to my self all of the sudden. I then did in fact begin to start to listen as to just what it was that he even had to say back to PiperStar how ever, all at the exact same time too, as he then did in fact begin to start to continue to speak to him, all at the exact same time as well, once again, none the less.
"The way that I look at it is... If you are a weak cat, and you can't survive a simple fight, than you don't deserve to be alive... I mean... Does Skyclan deserve to have land? They can't seem to protect their own clan mates!" He yelled out loud, all at the exact same time too, as I saw that he was now all of the sudden beginning to start to look around to all of the other cats that were around him, for some sort of support on just what it was that he had even said, all at the exact same time as well, none the less.
How ever, all of the cats that were in fact around him right now, just seemed to back up, as it was clear that they were in fact quite a bit surprised as to just what it was that he had even said in the very first place any ways, never the less, once again. I began to start to breath in quite a bit heavily to my self, all at the exact same time too, as I got my mind, and I got my focus off of all of those other thoughts that I had in fact been thinking on long before now, once again.
I really did not see very many cats really supporting what it was that he had in fact just said, as it even looked like his clan mates were quite a bit surprised as to just what it was that he had even said, all at the exact same time too. DustEyes was not stupid either, as it was clear that he realized that he was not getting very much support, all at the exact same time too, as he kind of just began to start to move back all of the sudden, all at the exact same time too, once again, never the less, at that.
It was almost as if he did not want to stand up, and admit as to the fact that what it was that he had in fact done, was in fact clearly wrong, all at the exact same time too, as he just had too big of an ego for that, none the less. I kind of just tilted my head over to the tom cat, all at the exact same time as well, once again. I was a little bit scared to look at him with my eyes squinted, if I was not going to lie to my self either, for the fear that he might in fact notice me do as such a thing like that, all at the exact same time too.
I just simply seemed to stare at the tom cat for just a little bit longer, all at the exact same time as well, until I then all of the sudden began to start to hear the voice of PiperStar, all at the exact same time as well, as I could tell that he was in fact angry with just what it was that DustEyes had in fact just said, none the less. I did not blame him, as I was sure that it had really hurt him a lot to lose a clan mate like that, all at the exact same time too.
I still felt like I just really did not want to step in this time what so ever, all at the exact same time too, as I just continued to stare at the tom cat for a little bit longer, once again. PiperStar was a lot more angry that it was that he was hurt right now, as I was sure that the pain had already settled in for him at this point. PiperStar just seemed to continue to speak to DustEyes, all at the exact same time too, as he had quite a bit of some rage in his voice, all at the exact same time too.
I stared at the tom cat for just a little bit more time, as I did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could. I felt like it was a little bit hard for me to say if I would in fact be as angry as he was right now, as I really did not get the circumstances just yet, none the less. I just continued to keep on going on, and I continued to listen as to just what it was that PiperStar even had to say back to DustEyes, all at the exact same time as well, none the less.
"This is pathetic! I can't just be every where at all times to protect my clan! We were on our own land hunting! If I need to send out more cats to protect the ones that are hunting than I will!" He said angrily back to DustEyes, all at the exact same time too, as I saw that DustEyes seemed to still be amused, and quite a bit happy with just what it was that was even going on right now for some odd reason or another, all at the exact same time too. I did my best to just try to keep my self calm, all at the exact same time too, as I then all of the sudden did in fact begin to start to go right on ahead, and I began to start to see that PiperStar was in fact all of the sudden beginning to start to turn his head over in my direction, all at the exact same time too, with the same angry look that I had seen on his face long before now. I at first was a bit lost as to just why it was that he was so upset with me right now, all at the exact same time too, as he then all of the sudden began to start to continue to speak, all at the exact same time too, so that all of the cats in the clearing could still hear as to just what it was that he even had to say in the very first place any ways, once again. "NettleStar! How can you have a cat like this as your deputy! He brings chaos, drama, and worse, he is evil!"
I looked at PiperStar, as I felt like I could not agree more with what it was that he had just said. I was not all too sure about the evil part just yet, as I did not know him well enough. How ever, it was clear to me at the very least, that the cat did in fact like the cause a lot of drama, all at the exact same time as well.
I kind of looked over to NettleStar, as I knew that PiperStar did in fact bring up quite a bit of a fair point, all at the exact same time too. I was in fact quite a bit interested in just what it was that NettleStar did in fact have to say about all of this, none the less. I knew that DustEyes was in fact his friend, all at the exact same time too.
I kind of felt like NettleStar might get upset, and he might be angry about all that was going on, as I knew that he did not want to be a part of it him self. But it was his clan that was in fact causing all of this, all at the exact same time too, as I knew that he was in fact the one that was supposed to do some thing to stop this, all at the exact same time as well. It just did not seem like he was strong enough, or brave enough as a leader to do as such a thing how ever, none the less.
I was sure, that based off of the look that was on the face of PiperStar, all at the exact same time too, that he was kind of thinking the exact same kind of thing that I was right now. NettleStar could clearly see all of the eyes that were in fact on him right now, all at the exact same time too. I expected fully for the tom cat to dip his head down, such as it always was that he had done, as he felt too embarrassed to do any thing about it.
How ever, it came much to my surprise that he did in fact nod to as such a thing like that what so ever, as I saw that he in stead seemed to all of the sudden begin to start to lift his head up, all at the exact same time too, and he squinted his eyes over towards PiperStar, as if he was in the wrong right now, all at the exact same time as well. That did not make all too much sense to me, if I was not going to lie to my self, as I knew that AntHill knew as to just what it was that he was doing as a deputy, than it was that DustEyes did, none the less.
I kind of just breathed in quite a bit of a heavy sigh to my self, all at the exact same time too, as I then all of the sudden got my mind, and I got my focus on the fact that more or less had to do with NettleStar now all of the sudden beginning to step up, as it was clear to me that he was about to go on ahead and start to speak up to all of the cats that were in the clearing, as I saw a lot of mixed emotions from all of the cats, none the less.
None of them were good, as most of them were angry, all at the exact same time too, as I saw that a lot of cats seemed to be staring at DustEyes right now. DustEyes just seemed to be staring at the ground right now, as it seemed like he could not handle that kind of pressure what so ever, never the less. That kind of made me feel a little bit better at what I was doing as a leader, if I was not going to lie to my self either, none the less.
As I stared at the tom cat for just a few more moments, I then all of the sudden got my mind, and I got my focus off of all of that, all at the exact same time as well, as I then did in fact begin to start to hear NettleStar begin to start to speak up all of the sudden, all at the exact same time as well. As soon as it was that I had in fact heard him do as such a thing like that, all at the exact same time too, that was when I did in fact turn my head over to him, all at once, as well.
As I seemed to just stare at the tom cat for quite a bit of some time, I then did in fact begin to start to hear him speak up quite a bit loudly. I wondered if he was angry right now, as I kind of tilted my head, as I was in fact quite a bit confused as to just what it was that he was even doing right now. How ever, in the end, I was in fact paying attention as to just what it was that he did in fact have to say back to all of the cats in the clearing, none the less.
NettleStar stared down at them for a little bit longer, as I was on the back side of him, so I could not see the look that he had on his face what so ever right now, never the less. I kind of just breathed in quite a bit heavily to my self, all at once, as I got my mind, and I got my focus off of all of that once again, never the less. I then did in fact begin to start to listen as to just what it was that he even had to say to all of the cats that were in fact hear at the gathering right now, all at the exact same time as well.
"I am sorry about the loss of your cat PiperStar... It does not make me feel good in the heart to know that my deputy was doing such a thing like that, and did not even tell me..." He said to PiperStar, all at the exact same time as well, as I saw that he had his head over to PiperStar for just a few moments, to know that he had in fact meant as to just what it was that he had said. It kind of reminded me of the cat that had done that for SummerStar, none the less, as I turned my head over to her, all at once. SummerStar was in fact a fairly smart she cat, and she knew that I would do as such a thing like that, as she simply dipped her head a bit low to the ground, with quite a bit of an embarrassed look on her face, never the less, at that. I kind of just let out a bit of a soft sigh to my self, all at the exact same time as well, as I got my mind, and I got my focus off of all of the rest of those other thoughts that I had in fact even been thinking on long before now, all at the exact same time too, as I turned my head back over to just what it was that was going on, on the tall rock right now. That was of course that NettleStar was once again speaking, as I saw that his eyes were over in the direction of just where it was that his deputy was even standing at right now, as he continue to speak, all at the exact same time too. I did in fact continue to listen as to just what it was that he even had to say in the very first place any ways, once again. "There will be some harsh repercussions for that, believe me..."
NettleStar said to his deputy as it seemed this time, as I looked over to DustEyes once again, as I saw that he did in fact still have his head to the ground, as it seemed like he could not dare to look at his good friend right in to his eyes at all right now. It was clear that he knew what it was that he had in fact done was wrong, and I sure hoped that he would learn some thing from all of that, all at the exact same time too, never the less.
I kind of just let out a bit of a soft sigh to my self, all at the exact same time too, as it seemed like that was all that NettleStar did in fact have to say, all at the exact same time as well, as he then all of the sudden began to start to turn his head around, and he began to start to go back with the other leaders and I, all at the exact same time too. I looked at PiperStar, as I wondered if that was good enough for him, but I simply just saw a bit of a blank look on his face, as I was not all too sure as to just what it was that it might mean, all at the exact same time too.
I kind of just began to start to breath in quite a bit heavily to my self, all at the exact same time as well, as I got my mind, and I got my focus off of all of the rest of those other thoughts that I had in fact even been thinking on long before now, all at the exact same time too. All of the leaders seemed to be back at where it was that we had just started out at, as it seemed like the gathering that had already started late as it was, had realistically gotten no where so far, none the less.
I kind of let out a bit of a soft sigh to my self, all at the exact same time too, as I knew that I was sure that PiperStar needed to get it off his chest, and he needed to just say some thing about it, so that made sense, all at the exact same time too, as I sure as hell would have been a lot more angry if I had in fact lost the life of Steve, all at the exact same time too, once again. It seemed like that tom cat had been through hell enough as it was so far, never the less, as I was just glad to have him as such a loyal clan mate, all at the exact same time too.
I kind of just shook my head, as I got my mind, and I got my focus off of all of the rest of that other stuff that I had been thinking on long before now once again how ever. I then began to start to realize as to just what it was that I should go on ahead and do, all at the exact same time as well, as I then did in fact begin to start to step up, and I began to start to speak, all at the exact same time as well, to let all of the cats know what it was that was going on in Windclan over the last moon or so, none the less.
