Warrior cats: Ivypool: a hard choice

Chapter one

The air was as thick as blood. The night was cold, uneasy, but at the same time, peaceful.
All I could see was darkness, nothing else.
I started walking forward, not knowing where I was going or what I might find. But something was making me go forward.
Soon, there was a bright shining light, As bright as the sun. I had to shut my eyes as I walked for a moment or two, before I stoped walking and opened my eyes.
"Hello Ivypaw."
My mouth dropped open. I didn't know what to say. Standing right in front of me was Bluestar, Yellowfang, and SpottedLeaf.
"What do you want? Why are you here? And where is here?" That's all I could think of to say. I was shocked. These where starclan cats. Cats that I hated.
They know that I'm with the dark forest cats instead of them, so why, why are they here? What do they want with me? Should I show hostility towards them? After all, I do hate them. If even just one of the dark forest cats find out that I'm talking to them, I'll be in so much trouble! What if they try to hurt me? Can I fight them? Am I strong enough? Have I had enough training?
The fur on my neck began to rise.
"We want to warn you, not to hurt you." Bluestar said.
Can they tell what I'm thinking?
"What do you mean? And how do I know that you won't? How can I trust your word?" I asked.
"Look, we know that you don't trust us, but you should. You shouldn't trust those mange-pelt, crow food eating, rat brain cats." Yellowfang said.
What!? How dare she!
The fur on my shoulders began to rise.
"You can trust our word. There is no way that we can prove it to you, other then you listening to us and seeing for yourself. Now, we need to talk. Sit down." Spottedleaf said.
The fur on my shoulders lay flat, but the fur on my neck stayed up. I sat down, although I didn't really want to.
"What about? And make it quick."
"Do you know how Tigerstar died?" Bluestar asked.
"No."
"Do know how I died?"
"No."
"Do you want to know how me and Tigerstar died?"
"I guess."
"Tigerstar died in the battle between Bloodclan and the forest clans. Have you ever heard of Bloodclan?"
"Yes, I've heard about the battle too. But I've never heard about Tigerstar being in the battle. I always thought that he might have died before the battle took place."
"No, he died in the battle-"
"Sort of." Yellowfang said, cutting off Bluestar.
"Yes, fine. sort of."
I'm confused. What do they mean by sort of? Was he killed in the battle or was I right all along?
