Blackstar's Exile 3#

Chapter 26: Trouble

Blackfoot's POV

Tangleburr, Stumpytail, Boulder and Snag waited for me outside of the territory. None of them had bad wounds, I but I had some deep ones, mine would heal by the end of the week or longer.

"Where's Mowgli?" I asked looking around for thhe brown tom.

"He ran away after he was clawed by the apprentice Brackenpaw" Snag laid down.

I turned around to lick a deep cut on my flank then winced as it stung, "I wasn't able to kill Brokentail" I sighed.

Tangleburr walked over and pushed me to the ground, she began licking my wounds and I winced and grunted at the pain.

"It's alright, we know you tried" She murmured between licks.

"Yellowfang protected him" I sighed as the stinging began to fade, "Why?" Boulder flicked his ear.

"Because she's his mother."

"No way!"

"It's forbiden!"

"How do you know?"

I coughed up blood and tried to answer the question, "She told me." I lied.

Stumpytail nodded, "It makes sense."

I began closing my eyes as blood dripped out of my mouth, "We need to move him" Tangleburr ordered.

I felt teeth sieze my scruff and I was pulled onto someone's back, I smelt in the scent of Snag. He hardly staggered under my weight. They walked towards an old tree with a hole big enough for us to fit in.

Gently Snag lowered me to the ground, Stumpytail ran out while Tangleburr went back to licking my wounds. Snag went and got some water.

Soon enough Stumpytail returned with some cobwebs and began placing them on my wounds.

"Wait!" I croaked

Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at me, "Does anyone else need cobwebs as well?"

Boulder looked around at everyone, "No just you."

I nodded and let Stumpytail bind up my wounds, I sighed and looked out of the tree den. I felt really tired so I closed my eyes and let sleep comsumed me.

The next morning I was able to walk again, Tangleburr re-binded my wounds with cobwebs and headed out. We were too close to ThunderClan.

As we were walking I heard the snap of a twig.

"Keep still, someone's coming!" I whispered.

"Has a ThunderClan patrol found us? We can't stay here and be trapped like rabbite" Boulder whispered back.

"Hush! They'll will hear us!"

Then a cat bursted through the bushes in front of us, I blinked a few times and realized it was Tigerclaw.

"Tigerclaw you survived!" Stumpytail said.

"No thanks to you, Stumpytail" he sneered.

"We were going to come back for you once our wounds have healed" I protested.

Truth be told, I forgoy about Tigerclaw while we were running away.

Tangleburr her tail against him, "I'm so pleased to see you" she purred.

He looked around at us, "Were is Mowgli?" He asked.

Stumpytail shrugged, "I don't know. He got his ears clawed pretty bad by that apprentice- Brackenpaw. We haven't seen him since."

I could see the anger in Tigerclaw's eyes, "I caught this earlier do you want it?" Stumpytail dropped a mouse in front of him.

Tigerclaw stared at it for a bit before devouring it in one bite, "Which among you is less injured?"

"I have a bite on my flank but it's healing fast. And Snag's fur was thick enough to save him from any deep scratches."

"I can hunt for you" he offered.

Tigerclaw nodded, "Take Tangleburr with you."

As they left, I noticed Tigerclaw was bleeding from his stomach, "Tigerclaw your bleeding" I carefully sniffed his wound.

"I'm fine" he snapped and pulled away.

I looked over at Stumpytail, "Those ThunderClan cats fought harder than I expected" I said.

He nodded, "That Warrior Fireheart though he was a Kittypet he fought like a Warrior."

"Don't ever say that!" Tigerclaw snarled.

"I don't want to hear his name again!" With that Tigerclaw left, I laid down as Stumpytail walked over to Boulder.
