Warriors: The Fall Of The Stars

chapter 12

Cursedviolet hissed as she faced Timberfall. A Clanmate of hers,the WindClan she-cat had turned against them along with cats from the other clans and some rogues.

" You fox-heart! Don't you have any pride left in you?" Cursedviolet spat,her tail flicking to the side. She wanted to rush and make sure her kits were safe, but Timberfall was blocking her path.

" WindClan has seen better days and those were without Sparkstar on the lead. Shallowface was right,she is weak! And Ravenstalk is no different." Timberfall hissed circling Cursedviolet. Cursedviolet could feel her anger rising at each passing moment. Another cat approached, a fluffy white she-cat with dark brown splotches, she held her head high. Tigersplash. The she-cat's image was the same as her father's; Dogcall.

Cursedviolet was about to speak something to them but she heard a yowl coming from the medicine den, her heart stopped a beat.
Cougarpaw.
Cursedviolet slashed her paw across Tigersplash's face, causing the white she-cat to flinch. She took this opportunity to escape the two and raced towards the medicine den. She came into a halt once she entered,her gaze wide. At the corner of the den stood Brighthope, she had Tawnymoth cornered. And there was none around to help him. Cursedviolet was about to leap at Brighthope but the she-cat stepped backwards,her eyes were wide as she stared at Tawnymoth.

" Tawnymoth!" Cursedviolet yelled,she rushed foward and studied the WindClan medicine cat from ears to tail-tip in search of any injuries. But he was fine, only a couple of scratches. Glancing around,she noticed that neither Leaftail and Weaselpaw nor Cougarpaw were in sight . Cursedviolet sighed,she ran towards the herb store where Tawnymoth kept his herbs. She tried to find marigold, her time as Frecklefoot's apprentice hit in. She eventually found the leaves and started chewing them into a poulite , she walked up to Tawnymoth and sta g rted treating his scratches.

" Thank you, Cursedviolet." Tawnymoth said
" If you kept on with your training,you would of been a great medicine cat. "

Cursedviolet shook her head
" I appreciate that. But I don't regret becoming a warrior. I got a mate and two wonderful kits." Cursedviolet mewed,at first when she left RiverClan,she wasn't sure if she did the right thing. Especially at her first moons at WindClan,when everyone treated her like an outcast.

" Don't worry about Cougarpaw. He is with the elders,he is safe ." Tawnymoth said, the medicine cat's voice broke Cursedviolet off her thoughts.

" Tawnymoth! Is everything alright?" Ravenstalk exclaimed,the dark pelted warrior halted once she noticed Brighthope frozen still and looking at her paws

" Brighthope?" Ravenstalk muttered,the she-cat didn't reply. Ravenstalk approached her and pressed against his mate. However Brighthope drew away.

" Brighthope?" Ravenstalk said softly,his gaze fixed on his mate
" Is everything alright? Did I do something?"
Brighthope shook her head,

" It's not you, it's me. I attacked Tawnymoth, I went against the Clans. I avoided and hurt you,  Bugkit, Wildkit and Robinkit. " Brighthope said,she seemed desperate,
" Ravenstalk, please, forgive me. I can't stay here,not after everything I did."
Ravenstalk was speechless, no words,he just stared at Brighthope.

" Brighthope, please. Don't leave, not for me but the kits,they care and need you." Ravenstalk said,his voice pleading. Cursedviolet sighed,her chest tightened,she could see the hurt and betrayal on Ravenstalk's eyes.

" Take care of our kits. " Brighthope said,she turned and trotted away, Ravenstalk was frozen,he crouched down, and broke into tears. He dug his claws on the ground,his ears were flat across his head. Cursedviolet sighed,she placed her tail on Ravenstalk's shoulder

" What will I say to them?" Ravenstalk said through tears
" How can I raise them on my own?"
Tawnymoth crawled forward,and sat besides the deputy.

" Littlebeam will help, I'm sure. " Cursedviolet mewed

" Go help the Clan, I'll stay with Ravenstalk."   Tawnymoth whispered to Cursedviolet,she nodded, she had to make sure her kits were safe. Cursedviolet pushed through the crowd of fighting cats, Kestrelsong was fighting a white tom. To Cursedviolet surprise Kestrelsong had the white tom pinned despite his small built.
She shook her head, eventually she spotted Rosebreeze,she was struggling to fight off her attacker. Cursedviolet's anger rose by each passing moment. She let out a snarl before jumping into her daughter's aid. She landed on the top of Rosebreeze's attacker, clawing at their ear . She then bit hard on their neck, However she was forced to let go, the attacker was able to get a good spot on Cursedviolet's belly. Rosebreeze stared at her, with fear in her eyes,she was about to leap to help her but Cursedviolet stopped her.

" No! Run! I can handle this." Cursedviolet hissed. Rosebreeze hesitated
" Go!"
Rosebreeze sighed, before she was lost into the crowd. Cursedviolet leaped and slashed her paw at the attacker's face. The cat yowled in pain, the cat leaped forward, and grabbed Cursedviolet by her neck. Cursedviolet could feel the attacker's fngs sinking into her skin,she was growing weak. She turned to the right, there she noticed Sparkstar was cornered by two larger cats. Despite the WindClan's leader's determination it wouldn't be enough to help her. Suddenly the weight of the attacker was off, Cursedviolet watched as the cat fled. To her surprise she noticed Leaftail,he had driven the cat away.
Right. He was a warrior before.

" Are you okay?" Leaftail asked,he nudged Cursedviolet to her paws, and supporting her with his shoulder

" I'm surprised. " Cursedviolet rasped
" I forgot you were a warrior."

" I owe big time to Mothstar for what I know." Leaftail said as he started leading her to the medicine den. Cursedviolet halted, Sparkstar!
She had to help her!
She turned to where the WindClan leader was crouched, Cursedviolet was about to leap,when another cat- a calico pelted warrior - leaped inti one of the attackers of Sparkstar. Five cats then came flooding in, help was here!
Thank StarClan.

She noticed how the two cats who had Sparkstar corned were busy with the newcomer. She squinted her eyes.
Monarchstar!
  It was SkyClan who had come to their aid. She shook her head and was about to  help them but was blocked by Leaftail

" Cursedviolet, you're injured. It will be okay." Leaftail said,he sighed as he  started leading her away.
Not only are my kits in danger, and so is my mate. Great StarClan help us.
