Confusing Twists | A Warrior Cats AU

Chapter 21

: Three Mice :

Brambleclaw sat beside Ashfur. His mate had fallen asleep after the battle.
Brambleclaw couldn't believe how bravely he had fought. He had fought harder than any of the other warriors.
And then there were the rogues. He couldn't see them now, they had taken Rain to the medicine den.
I can't believe rouges helped us! Brambleclaw shook his head. Everything was so confusing right now.
Brambleclaw was distracted from his thoughts as Ashfur stirred. The grey tom wrapped his front legs around Brambleclaw and started purring.
Brambleclaw purred as well. He's so cute! I'm so lucky he's my mate!

Vixen watched from their perch in a tree. Nothing exciting really happened. The medicine cats just patched everyone's wounds. Vixen expected someone to die. Fortunately and unfortunately that was not the case.
Vixen was distracted as a grey hawk feather floated down beside them. They stared at the feather for a long time. Their gaze never left it for a second.
Several arguments played in Vixen’s mind.
Vixen leaped back finally. Why does this keep happening! Why has it been him both times!?
Vixen shuddered. Something wrong was happening.

Brambleclaw stood up and stretched.
Why did Firestar call a call meeting this early? He asked silently.
Brambleclaw realized for the first time that he and Ashfur had slept in the same nest. It was most likely no one had noticed, but Ashfur would probably be embarrassed about it.
Brambleclaw nudged Ashfur awake. “Come on, Firestar called a clan meeting.” he told him.
Ashfur grumbled something inaudible. He got up and followed Brambleclaw out of the warriors den.
Darktail and Toad were watching from the mouth of the medicine den, eyes wide with interest.
Brambleclaw sat down beside Squirrelflight, Ashfur found a seat beside Thornclaw.
Firestar finally began the meeting. “Cat’s of ThunderClan, as you all know last night our camp was attacked by a rouge group. You all fought very bravely. And I'm proud to call you my clanmates.”
He doesn't mean that. Brambleclaw thought bitterly. I saw him glaring at Ashfur last night.
Firestar continued after a brief pause. “I would also like to thank the rouges who fought alongside us.”
The clan’s gaze shifted to where Darktail and Toad were sitting.
Firestar beconed them forward.
Darktail stepped forward first, then glanced at Toad encouragingly. Toad hesitantly followed.
Darktail then turned to Firestar and dipped his head respectfully. “It was nothing. Dodge has been a thorn in our side for a long time now. That's why me and my. . .” he paused for a second. “freinds decided to leave his group.”
Brambleclaw tipped his head. Why had Darktail paused?
“You were part of his group?” Spiderleg asked suspiciously.
Darktail briefly looked at him. “Yes. What's your point?” he asked.
Spiderleg flicked his tail. “How do we know we can trust you if you were with them?” he asked iritibly.
Darktail’s tail slightly twitched. The tinyest look of agitation was visible on his face. “I don't know if you noticed, but Rain lost his eye to save you cats.”
Spiderleg growled but said nothing.
Firestar raised his tail for silence. Then continued. “ThunderClan thanks you three for your help. You may stay for as long as you need.”
Darktail dipped his head. “Thank you Firestar.”
“Nothing good will come of this.” Vixen warned.
