Warriors: Into The Shadows

Chapter 14

  Finally the day was done and most of the clan went to sleep earlier than they usually do. There is still patrols and guards due to Bloodclan yet Nightpaw still wanted to hold his meeting with the others. So he wait in his nest until the others came in. Turtlepaw and Littlepaw is the next to come in the den. 

 "They are coming." Littlepaw said as they went to their nests. Nightpaw eyes widen a bit when he noticed that Turtlepaw nest is close to his. When did this happened? Before he was next to Littlepaw and Wetpaw.  He quickly fix his face so the others wouldn't notice as the rest came in. Gingerpaw, Gullpaw, Wetpaw and Brownpaw was talking cheerfully about the training until they notice the looks on the others' faces. 

 "So what do you want to talk about, Nightpaw?" Wetpaw tilt his head as they all sat down. 

 "It about what I saw at the Moonstone. I was the only one allowed to touch the moonstone due to not believing in Starclan. That when Sagewhisker came to me." 

 "You was visited by the last medicine cat?! It must be serious since I heard medicine cats only visit when they want to show you something. But you are supposed to discuss this with either Runningnose or Brokenstar. Not that I'm complaining." Littlepaw said with amazement. Everyone flinch as he was loud. Gullpaw poke her head out, seeing if anyone woke up. She gave them a nod to let them know it is ok. 

 "Shh! Do you want to wake the whole camp?" Brownpaw flick his tail on Littlepaw's mouth. "Please continue." Littlepaw glare and swipe the tail from his mouth. 

 "My father gave me a warning. Beware the claw that hunts the sun, for only shadows can smother it's fury. I think it has to do with Bloodclan. I want to solve this myself but like Wetpaw said earlier, I tend to overthink."  Nightpaw kneaded the ground with his tail tip twitching. 

Bet everyone thinks he is crazy to try to solve it himself. Maybe they won't help him. After all this is a starclan thing. Was it disrespectful to ask for help? It was given only to him. He stare at the others, hoping they will help. He isn't as close to Wetpaw or Brownpaw since they are often training with their mentors and out during the night. 

 "The claw. That sounds like a name. Shadows can only be us. But what about the sun? Maybe that a name too. Or maybe it a orange cat." Gullpaw murmur as she thought out loud. 

 Yes! that what he been thinking too. The others look at Gullpaw since she often the smartest out of them all. Whenever Gingerpaw or the others have trouble with training, she can explain it so it makes sense. Nightpaw saw her looking around and shrug her shoulders. 

 "That all I got so far. Sorry." Turtlepaw wrap her tail around her to comfort her. 

 "It a start. Maybe if we solve this, we can become warriors. I'm catching up due to my injuries but tired of being an apprentice. We should have been warriors but then all of this happened." Brownpaw growl softly. 

 "Orange cat. We need to talk to Snow. Only she knows her clan members and she might point us in the right direction." Wetpaw whisper. 

 "Why would she talk to us? We are the enemy. Can't ask Boulder because he would get suspicious. And I have a feeling it not good memories." Gingerpaw look around thoughtfully. 

 "Hmm. I have an idea. I did overhear Russetfur and Boulder speaking while we was on a patrol. We was hunting near the Windclan border and he seem to go into deep thought about something. Russetfur came over and ask if he was thinking about Barley. I came up when he said his farm is just over there. Wonder if he having trouble with Bloodclan too. I made myself look busy when they glance over." Mousepaw said.
