The Fire Within

Chapter 23

"Dear Karma, I have a list of people you missed."

(Not directed to you peps, just a quote i like)

Dedicated to all of Clans of Fans, the only group that has my full attention. 

It's the scream that made WolfClaw open her eyes. All around her, darkness lingered. It looked just like last time before HailStream died. She turned a full circle till she saw him, just like last time, with a large smile on his face.

"Why WolfClaw, I wasn't expecting you!" He smiled wider, "I would have prepared a feast in your honer if i'd known you would arrive." He let out a laugh, the same horrible laugh that he had. Even in death it still sounded like claws on a rock.

"Why am I here!" WolfClaw demanded, her hair raised.

HailStream was suddenly in front of her, so close and fast that she swung her claws across his face. Even as blood started to drip down his face in three nice lines, HailStream just smiled his wide smile.

"Well my dear, it seems that just meeting you in battle has made it enough to make me interested in you. You could say I'm haunting you." He swung his head up and laughed.

WolfClaw saw now that he was truly mad. Even his own wounds wouldn't stop him. All he cared about was his own wicked games and fun, no matter who got killed.

He now looked at her, his grin never leaving his face, "I wanted to give a present to you and your clan. But mostly just you. Ahahahaha. Oh I just can't wait!"

And with that he jumped at WolfClaw and pinned her to the ground. He leaned to stare into her eyes, joy flickering from his.

Finally, he whispered, "Wake up WolfClaw..."

~~~

"WAKE UP WOLFCLAW!!"

WolfClaw woke with a jolt, and looked around. RockFur stood panting and sweating enough to think he jumped into the river.

"What's wrong?" WolfClaw said nervously. She could still hear HailStream's laugh in her ears. She could fell the fear from RockFur. His legs were shacking and he had a scared look in his eyes.

"... fell...broken leg... WindFern..."

WolfClaw shot up from her laying position. She could hear HailStream's words in her head now: "I want to give you a present."

Oh no

"Take me to him now!"

RockFur spun around and he and  WolfClaw raced out of the Den. There were some Warriors caring a cat into camp. They made it to the entrance of the medicine den before they were assaulted by worried siblings. WhiteRose appeared, "Move. All of you. He can be put here."

The Warriors put him down on the grass, and WhiteRose got to work.

WolfClaw looked at her brother. He wasn't awake, but he was still breathing and seemed to be fine. His leg was at a unnatural angle though. 

She felt herself bump into StoneHeart and realized she was so terrified that she had started to back away. When she turned around, she saw StoneHeart and RockFur had horrified expressions on as well.

Stop it Raven! She thought, You need to be the leader here! If you're brave your brothers will be too!

She breathed in and out to stay calm and addressed AmberTree, who had been caring WindFern, "What happened?"

"I'm not positive. I believe he fell into a rabbit hole. My brother , EmberFern, found him. He lost a lot of blood and blacked out."

WolfClaw nodded and mumbled a thank you.

WindFern's eyes creaked open, then widened with pain as he cried out. WolfClaw and her brothers rushed forward, but WhiteRose waved them off.

"He needs to be in my den now." She commanded, waving her tail to the warriors that brought him here, "You three have to stay out for now, but I'll do everything I can."

WindFern was lifted and carried away from His brothers and Wolfclaw.

~~~

After math (Because this is late and i'm lazy, sorry)-

WindFern now is paralyzed in one leg (like Cinderpelt)

He has to do apprentice training again (Next chapter)

And he lives, Yeah!

love you peps <3
