The Four Clans // Silentsea's Secret

Chapter XVIII

After every cat wounds were treated Daisystar called a meeting. "May all cats old enought to swim the sea gather here beneath the highrock!". Slowly the Cats gathered around the clearing, the worst hurt cats stayed near the Medicine cats den. Silentsea took her head next to her sister, her tail wrapped around her kits.

"We beat the Mythclan warriors. We won the battle with no lost cats.", she mewed looking over her cats, only a few were seriously injured. 

"Daisystar. may i speak?", a Ashblack tom stepped up looking at the leader, who nodded giving him the right to speak. The Ashcoloured tom stepped into the middle of the clearing and turned to his fellow clanmates. "Coveclan warriors, Medicincats and Leader. I want to adress something i noticed during the battle.", Ravenheart yowled. 

The clancats looked at each other in confusion and then back at ravenheart. "What are you trying to say Ravenheart.", Willowtail asked and whipped her tail around.

"I noticed a Red tom breaking into the nurcery, and Heartbeats later he came out, but somehow Silentsea and her kits seem to be unharmed.", he stopped and padded closer towards the she-cat and her Youngs. 

"What are you saying. I drove him out", she defended herself. "Weird is that if you two fought you would have wounds.", he growled. "And am i the Only one who thinks that her kits Look More like that Mythclan warrior then Sparrowleap?!", He Yowled. 

whispers broke out amonst the cats, till spotfur raised her voice. "Hes right, i always thought it was hidden in Sparrowleaps genes but now that you said it.", Spotfur stepped next to Ravenheart. "Amberkit looks a lot like that Mythclan warrior.

Silentsea's eyes widened in shock, she wrapped her tail tighter around her kits. She pinned her hears and Lowered herself into a crouch. Other cats Joined Ravenheart and began to corner Silentsea, while she was backing up, her kits behind her as she bared her fangs. 

"Stay back! What is wrong with you?!", She hissed, her backfur standing straight. The other cats closed in on her.

Ravenheart ducked down, ready to attack. As he jumped he suddenly got pushed back and pinned onto the ground by a Light brown ragdoll she-cat. "Lightwhisker! what are you doing!" he growled and as he looked up two cats had build themself up infront of the Queen.

"Willowtail. Stormrun.", The black tom gasped. Spotfur yowled "Willowtail! Stormrun! Why are you Protecting that traitor!", she hissed and dug her claws into the sandy ground. 

"We wont let you lay a claw on her", Willowtail responded calmly as she stood her ground. Spotfur growled and jumped at Willowtail, in that moment a fight broke out between them and the cats that were on Ravenhearts side. 

"STOP THIS INSTAND!", Daisystars Howly echoed across the clearing. The clan cats stopped in their tracks and stepped away from each other. "WE DO NOT FIGHT AMONST EACH OTHER!". She padded her way through her clanmates, stopping infront of Willowtail and Stormrun. "Lightwhisker get off of Ravenheart, Ravenheart. You will not attack your clanmates. We have other ways to deal with such behavior." she mewed, still facing the three shecats infront of her.

"Willowtail, Stormrun. step asside." she stared down at them, her usualy soft expression, now stern, her pupils tightened to slits. 

"I will not step asside. You will have to go through me to get to my SISTER!", she growled, her ears pinned to her head as she dug her claws into the hard sand floor. Willowtail placed her tail over her kits back to calm her down, even tho her own fur was standing stright upwards.

"looks Daisystar. we cant be sure if thats.", but stormrun cut her off. "Ravenheart is right. These kits are truly not from Sparrowleap, Their real father is Cinderblaze. A warrior from Mythclan." she paused. Ravenheart let out a deep growl and took a step forwards but was stopped by Lightwhisker. "But that doesnt mean that they deserve death!" she hissed and willowtail backed her up. "Shes right! these kits have nothing to do with their parents mistake. Plus we need more warriors to defend our clan and Territory." 

Daisystar stayed silent. With one flick of her tail, Timberstrike and Smokepelt stepped next to her. Hesitendly timberstrike punched at Stormrun, pulling her away from her sister, Smokepelt did the same with willowtail. "Timberstrike! what in starclans name are you doing!" she hissed at her friend who didnt let her go. "I have to help my Sister!", but as much as she struggled. His grip on her was to strong. 

Once The two she-cats where out of the way Daisystar moved closer to her Warrior. "Silentsea. What you have done is treacherous. You have brought not only shame but also Death to your clan!" She growled, her eyes piercing through silentseas heart like Badger claws. "I have no choice but to punish you." she watched as silentseas eyes widened in fear. "Your punishment will be.." she paused and looked at her clanmates, then back at the brown tabby and her kits. 

"You, Silentsea. Shall be..", A Raspy Howls interrupted Daisystars speach.

"Stop!" Brightface rushed out of the Medicine den and stepped between the two She-cats.
"Starclan spoke to me!" Her piercing blue eyes staring up at her leader. Daisystar stared down at the Medicine cat. "Starclan warned me that a young shecat will make a mistake...but they also said it would be a blessing for the future!" she yelped, Standing her ground.

Daisystar eyed Silentsea before turning to Brightface. "Non the less. She must be punished. We cant let this go unpunished Brightface."

"Listen Daisystar. Starclan have spoken. Do you really want to disobey out Ancestors? If so. You will feel their Rage if you Banish these 3 cats." she growled. 

Daisystar turned to her clan. "Starclan has spoken But we cant leave this unpunished.", she turned back to the Traitor. "Silentsea you will not be Banished from Coveclan." 

Relieve washed over Silentsea, but quickly faded as Daisystar announced her Punishment. "Silentsea, from this day on till you earned back your Clanmates and my Trust you will live amongst us like a prisoner. Your kits will be under Hollyeyes care. You will not have a place in the dens you will sleep in the clearing, no matter what weather Starclan sends us."

Some clan-cats yowled in agreement, some only glared.
