The hidden path

It was raining all day with scarce prey and the elders were more grumpy than usual.

"May I run a patrol?" Askcreek said as entering my den all wet.

"Of course you're my deputy. I think I might take a long nap."

I responded.

"Before I went to you, Windchasser told me that Sparrowpaw was supposed to fight a warrior soon. When will that be?" He said sitting on a few pieces of moth.

"Oh that Windchasser, tell him tomorrow or when it stops raining. Oh and thank you Ashcreek you are a great deputy and will become a fine leader."

He said thank you and left to the rain.

I realized I had to send Beeshine to my brother.

Are mother Swiftpelt was from Mightyclan and father Rapidjaw from Mudclan.

We lived in mightyclan for moons then Switpelt died and I wanted to be with Rapidjaw.

But Silverstar, who was Silvermoon, wanted to stay in mother's clan so he did and that is when we said goodbye.I ran to the unfinished medicine cat den. "Beeshine I forgot to tell y-." "What are you doing?" I added. She was taking all her herbs and leaves.

"Oh yeah they didn't say what type of diseas and I dont want to run back here." She responded. "How are you going to carry all of that?" "Oh,I will shove them in my mouth."

"That's a lot of leaves you have to put in your mouth. How about I help you? I will carry the leaves."

When Ashcreek came back I asked him to take care of the camp while I was gone "Of course Froststar." Then I left camp with Beeshine.

My littermate's clan is a day away which we had been well prepared for anything unexpected.

"Thanch fosh comin." She said with all the leaves in her mouth. I couldn't speak either so I nodded. I would do anything for a medicine cat. She was like a sister to me. After a while we sat down and put the leaves down. "So how is Foxpaw doing?" I asked.

"Well she is a really good helper and she has made a lot of progress in a few moons. I am really proud of her." She responded. "I am glad I dont know why but I keep on thinking about her warrior name." "Why?" "Well I just want it to be perfect."

"I think we should get going, we are going to be late."

We got up from the green wet grass in the shade, but the herbs and leaves are in our mouths. "Try not to eat it." She said before putting the herbs in her mouth.

We left and walked faster than before. Birds were singing and the trees were beautiful.

We walked and walked until Beeshine fell in a hole. I dropped the leaves and screamed: "Beeshine!" I put the leaves in my mouth again and I jumped in.

I jumped. It wasn't too deep but there was a small tunnel.

She was there laying on the ground with the herbs all over the place.

"Are you okay?" I asked worriedly. She got up and looked around.

"Yeah I am fine, let me get my herbs." She put them in her mouth and we ran in the small tunnel. Will it get us somewher or lead us to a badger or fox? After walking a long time we saw light. "Licht!" She said again with the leaves in her mouth. We ran faster and felt like rock. We arrived at the end and went to the light. "Where are we?"

"I recognize this place! We are not far from Mightyclan!" I scream of happiness.

"Great! Then this saved us a lot of time!" We walked straight towards their clan then smelled their scent. "We made it in their clan before dawn!"

A patrol came to us, "Who are y-," "Dont speak to them like that its Froststar and Beeshine!" He said to his friend. At least someone knows who we are, I thought.

"Please follow us." The grumpy one said. He was a black cat with green eyes.

He had a lot of scars on his face and kind of a croockedjaw.

"My name is Nightfur." He added trying to be nice.

"Nice well you know my name and who is that?" I said pointing at the cat who was nice to us earlier. "He's deputy, his name is Flamejaw." Flamejaw was a red Tabby with gray eyes. He seemes young. "How many moons is Famejaw?" I asked. "I dont know you should ask him." I went over to Flamejaw who was talking to Beeshine.

"Hi Flamjaw I dont want to interrupt your conversation but how many moons are you?"

I asked, looking at the red tabby. "I know I do seem young but I am 19 months old. I was chosen as a deputy a month ago." "Very well sorry for the question Flamejaw I know you will be-" "Were here!" Screamed the Nightfur. We arrived and there were Warriors and apprentices laying everywhere, some there were also some queens that looked a bit sick. My brother came running towards us and Beeshine screamed "Dear Starclan what happened here?!" My brother Silverstar explained that the medicine cat is also sick and is trying and risking her life for the clan. Only 3 cats died. I am also sick as you can see.''

He said then was coughing. "Poor cats." I said softly. Silverstar was skinnier than usual and his eyes were a bit red and he coughed a lot. "I will do what I can." Said Beeshine running to the queens. It was only me and my brother. "How did this happen?"

"We dont really know but an Elder ate a rotten mouse of something then put it back in the fresh kill pile and everything got rotten. "I dont think its that, you wouldn't be in this-"

" I know Froststar I should have stayed in Mudclan and not have killed Patch."

Patch was a ugly and evel kittypet that was a bloody thrust cat. It was a battle between Patch's clan and Migty clan. Silverstar's mate was killed in the great battle; her name was Lillyheart. A very pretty warrior and they had kits together but one of them survived which was a hawkkit. The Hawkkit is a brown Deven Rex but fluffyrier than usual Deven Rex. "No Silverstar even if there wasn't the battle there would be more dead cats."

"Yes but my mate and some of my kits wouldn't be dead!" "You dont know my phophecie Froststar! You dont know my pain! You dont know how hard it is to lead my clan!" He added in tears. "Sorry, I just wanted to make you feel better and I came here to help Beeshine and to keep you company but I guess you dont care!" I yelled at him making shure he understood. We were sitting on a large log that was next to his den. The sun shined fur's and my white fur and his gray fur were very different. We didn't even look like we were in the same kit litter. I looked at beeshine who was helping the medicine cat with what she should do when she is not here. She walked towards us and told me we could leave. "Are you ready to go to Froststar?" "Always ready,'' I replied, glaring at my brother. We left and my brother didn't say a thing except his deputy who said thank you.

I was ashamed of my brother. How could he say that? "I heard some screaming, are you okay?" "Oh yeah I'm fine it's just my brother who doesn't really understand his past."

"Make sense...um should we take the secret passage?" She said, looking at me almost crying. "You choose." I replied.We walked back and ran. I raced her. She was fast and strong. We would have made a great warrior but with her accidentIt all disappeared.
