Darkstar's love ☆Complete☆

Chapter 37

Darkstorm walked alongside his clanmates as chatter about a peaceful gathering flowed through them. Tonight was a beautiful night and everything seemed alright.

But something was off Darkstorm could feel it. He padded over to Morningstar to express his concerns but he was immediately stopped when Lemurstorm ran through a bush.

The gray she cat looked at them with bewildered eyes. "Have you seen a fox?!" Morningstar looked at the she cat in confusion and shook her head.

"Mousecoal's kits are gone!" Darkstorm felt his paws act on their own as he ran to the camp followed by the ones who went to the gathering.

The entrance came to view and he ran through it. Looking around he spotted Mousecoal greif swelling in her eyes as Firekit and Orangekit kept close to her.

Before he was able to walk over and question her Morningstar was already besides the queen comforting her. Quickly he looked around and went over to the nursery.

Once he was inside he looked around determined to find the kits. He spotted a hole big enough for a small warrior to slip through without trouble.

He thought about it and Mousecoal was pretty small. He sniffed the hole and caught the scent of Ravenkit and Frogkit, he slipped through the hole ignoring the pricks of the brambles and followed a trail.

The scent trail led him to the Thunderclan boarder conforming a suspension he kept deep down. Mousecoal most likely left her kits with the father.

He kept tracking the scent until it stopped at the boarder. Knowing why she did this he decided to tell his clanmates he found a fox but it got away.

Quickly he walked to the camp but stopped when he realized it would seem suspicious if he came back to camp without a scratch. He looked at a tree and ran his shoulder into it.

Hissing in pain he licked the bleeding wound and limped the rest of the way back to camp. When he got back maplenose ran over to him and questioned what happened.

"I found the fox but it got away, it ran me into a tree to distract me." The medicine cat seemed to believe his story and nodded as she led him to her den.

Before he could lose Mousecoal he gave her one last hostile glance before padding after maplenose. As the tortoiseshell searched her herbs Darkstorm sniffed around and spotted a tiny nest nearby.

"Maplenose who's nest is that?" The she cat looked up from the herb she was chewing up and sighed. "Firekit said he want to sleep in my den already."

Darkstorm thought about and shrugged when he realized it was something Firekit would do. "This herb should stop any infection from taking place."

He watched as Maplenose smeared some ointment on his wound. Hissing in pain he stared at Maplenose with fury. The medicine cat rolled her eyes and went back to separating her herbs.

"It's just dock leafs dont be dramatic go join the kits in the nursery if you want to be like that." Darkstorm growled as he padded out of the den and looked back at Mousecoal.

The gray queens only thing that she loved was still alive but they were in another clan. Fearing about what could happen he padded over to her.

The gray she-cat noticed him and gave him a suspicious glare. "What do you want?" Darkstorm could hear the hostility in her voice and sighed.

"I know your in pain but you must keep pushing its what they would've wanted." The gray she cat looked at him with fury and swiped at his ears.

"You don't know what my kits would've wanted they're gone don't ever bring them up like that." Darkstorm looked at his former mentor with shock.

The usual calm and collective she-cat was hostile over her kits. Based on her reaction Darkstorm began to really question a mother's love for her kits.

He dipped his head and walked over to a group of his clanmates to assign patrols. Once he assigned the patrols he gave the camp one last glance before leaving for his hunting patrol.

Once he was out with Wolftail, Woodheart, and Frostfury they all looked around for prey but had no luck. They all agreed to split up to look for prey and return back when they caught something.

Darkstorm looked around for any sight of prey but something else caught his attention. The familiar scent of one his clanmates reached him.

He followed the scent ignoring a bird he scented. He was soon in the hunters crouch as he slowly walked through the bush praying to starclan that whoever he was tracking wouldn't notice him.

He looked through the bush and saw Morningstar drinking from the river. He felt a rush of energy as he jumped from the bush and landed on Morningstar as if she was a piece of prey.

He used his hind legs to hold her back paws down while he used his front paws to hold her head under the water. She flayed underneath him as she desperately tried to get up from the water.

He kept a strong grip on her until she stopped moving. Darkstorm slowly pulled her up from the water and threw her against a tree as if she was nothing.

He watched as Morningstar took a large gasp of air and sat up looking at him in fear. "You killed me." Darkstorm sneered as he slowly walked over to the she cat.

"It's my destiny to lead our clan to greatness. Your a poor leader our clan will fall underneath your leadership." The ginger she cat looked at him as her fur bristled up.

"Your a Traitor to Shadowclan I thought your would be a wise leader but now I see what kind of cat you are. Your nothing but a cold blooded murderer."

Darkstorm hissed as he leaped at the she cat ready to take her final life no matter what.
