Warrior cats: the Lunar prophecy

Chapter 22

Ghoststar watched as Bluestrike ran over to help him And Cottonwing battle Infernostar. The three cats battled hard, Infernostar's large body had a big advantage to her. The Infernoclan cats, Sunclan, and Moonclan cats all gathered around the battle between this battle as it would decide the outcome of this battle, Ghoststar ranked his claws on her legs. Infernostar spun her body making all three of them fly away into a pile, Cottonwing groaned with a deep leg wound and Bluestrike staggered upward his ear torn and bleeding and his side had a deep gash, Ghoststar though only had a minor scratch on his shoulder and tail, Ghoststar watched as Infernostar angrily lumbered over his siblings and without thinking Ghoststar lunged at Infernostar bitting deep into her neck saving his brother and sister. Infernostar yelled in surprise. Falling limp to the ground, Ghoststar kept his back arched and bristled, waiting for Infernostar to lose his life and reawaken, but It never came... that was her last life.. Infernostar was died. The area was silent, so one said a word. The only sound there was, was the sound of old Infernoclan cats fleeing their leader was died. and so was what they were battling about. Most of the cats from Infernoclan ran off towards the outer area of the clan territories and the rest ran off to their old clan territories. The area erupted in towels of victory, the medicine cats walked out started tending to their sounds, Pumppaw raced over to Cottonwing, worried about her side wound.

"Why aren't you with the queen!?" Cottonwing exclaimed.

"She told me to come back here and help others," Pumppaw explained.

"But-" Ghoststar interrupted her.

"What queen?" Ghoststar asked.

"Oh, yah! The queen from Seaclan? She wants to join our clan, she was giving birth during the battle..." Cottonwing explained.

"I see.. Well then, of course she can join. She and her kits." Ghoststar said he was glad this queen had survived giving birth during a war, and if she wanted to be in his clan she is more than welcome to. Sunstar and Ghoststar gathered the clan with a loud yowel.

"Cats of all clans!" Sunstar called. "The war is over! We have won!"

Both clans cheered loudly, Bunnyleaf ran over to Cottonwing. The two she-cats chatted, Springwater padded over to them to join, The sunclan deputy Lightclaw walked over with Oakfall.

"What's next?" Sunstar asked.

"Well... we head back to our own clans I guess," Ghoststar mewed.

"Alright... Sunclan! Move out! Leafheart! Help the wounded." Sunstar said and turned to Ghoststar, dipping her head. And then the Sunclan cats all left the camp. Bunnyleaf said goodbye to her friend and leaped over to Twistedfoot. Ghoststar turned to his own clan.

"Moonclan, move out! Cottonwing and Pumppaw run ahead." Ghoststar said, Cottonwing nodded and the two cats ran for camp. Ghoststar waited for his clan to be ready and all regrouped and then he flicked his tail and started walking to camp. He was walking because some cats are still wounded. Wavepelt ran ahead to get the medicine den ready, and Springwater was staggering over to Scoutstripe her belly a bit swollen. Then he looked at Oakfall and then pictured his sister, her belly was a bit swollen two.. Not as much as Springwaters but still noticeable. Oakfall padded over to Ghoststar.

"Hey Ghoststar..?" Oakfall asked.

"Yes?" Ghoststar responded looking at Oakfall.

"Have you noticed Cottonwing acting strange lately..?" Oakfall asked.

"A little, and her belly looks a bit swollen... she might have a stomach ache." Ghoststar said.

"Ok.. I'll send her to the medicine den as soon as possible," Oakfall said as they arrived into camp.

"Warriors with deep wounds come to the medicine den now!" Wavepelt demanded, pushing Mapleleaf to the medicine den who had a deep wound on his tail. Cottonwing nodded and limped to the warriors den, her shoulder wound was getting worse.

"Oakfall! Organize a border patrol with the strongest warriors, we need to make sure all Infernostar cats are gone." Ghoststar said. Oakfall nodded and gathered Buddy, Alex, Bluestrike, and himself. The cats left the camp. And now everyone was at work. Pumppaw was leaving the nursery with a few borage leaves. Wavepelt called Ghoststar over, he paused and then headed over to Wavepelt.

"What is it?" Ghoststar asked.

"Springwater and Cottonwing are expecting... there only a half moon apart." Wavepelt whispered.

"Really!?" Ghoststar exclaimed.

"Yes, but with preparing for the war I didn't notice this sooner so they will need to be in the nursery with Heartfur." Wavepelt said calmly. Ghoststar nodded.

"Alright.. And Heartfur is the Seaclan she?" Ghoststar asked.

"Yes, Pumppaw told me about her." Wavepelt said.

"Alright.. Thanks for telling me. Does Cottonwing and Springwater know?" Ghoststar said.

"Yes, I sent them to the nursery already." Wavepelt said, and then headed back into the medicine den. Ghoststar nodded and then headed to the nursery. He padded across the camp and turned into the nursery. He saw Cottonwing talking to Springwater and Heartfur.

"Cottonwing," Ghoststar said.

"Ghoststar! Did Wavepelt tell you?" Cottonwing asked.

"She did, do you want me to send in Oakfall when he gets back?" Ghoststar asked.

"Yes please," Cottonwing said.

"Can you send in Scoutstrike please?" Springwater asked, Ghoststar nodded and padded out of the den to find Scoutstripe.

"Scoutstripe!" Ghoststar called. Scoutstripe padded out of the warriors den and over to Ghoststar.

"Yes?" Scoutstrike asked.

"Springwater wants to see you, she's in the nursery." Ghoststar said, Scoutstripe nodded and trotted over to the nursery. He heard him ask who Heartfur was and then Cottonwing explaining. Oakfall's patrol arrived back at camp and Oakfall padded over to Ghoststar.

"No Infernoclan cats in sight." Oakfall reported.

"Good, and Cottonwing wants to see you, she's in the nursery." Ghoststar said, Oakfall nodded and raced over to the nursery, obviously worried about his mate. Ghoststar purred and walked over to his den.
