The Prophecy of the Tenth Star - Warriors(Book 1) - Fallen Star

Chapter 5

PhantomPaw was so confused.Why was her sister here?She wanted to ask a lot of questions but her sister stopped her as she read her thoughts.
"I got here with a barrier breaking spell,though I have to practice the landing."SilverSoul meowed as she let out a purr of amusement.
"Ummmmmm."Was all PhantomPaw could manage to say.All of the other cats just stood and stared.
"I'm here to lead your journey."She said as she looks over at PhantomPaw"I told you we would guide you,correct?"
"Y-Y-Yes."
"Then we are going in a quarter moon.I expect you all to meet back here in the due time."SilverSoul meowed as cats backed up a bit with her sudden change of tone.
"So are you going to head back up to StarClan now?"FinchPaw asked.
"No.I'm going to stay with......PhantomPaw.Only you all would be able to see and hear me.Got it."SilverSoul meowed.All of the cats meowed in agreement.
"Good,now head back to your clans before they notice your gone."She meowed as we all walked back.DandelionPaw,BlizzardFang,and SilverPelt were talking ahead,while PhantomPaw and SilverSoul strayed farther back.
"You know,GingerFur really misses you."
"Really?!Thats surprising."PhantomPaw meowed.GingerFur was the 7th star.His fur was a dark ginger color,with piercing,Scarlet eyes.He always was the one out of her littermates that picked on her.
"So,that BlizzardFang.He's quite a hunk,am I right?"
"W-What?!No!He's my Mentor,why would I think he's cute?!"
"Sorry,but your tone of voice says otherwise."SilverSoul meowed lightly,knowing that it got under her fur.
"Whatever,your hearing things.Typical SilverSoul,always taking interest of every single cat."PhantomPaw joked as they both let out a mrrow of amusement.It was good to talk to her sister again.
Just like old times,PhantomPaw thought happily,but then realized the situation.No,this won't last,I know it.

PhantomPaw walked up to the fresh kill pile.She saw her sister sitting out in the sun,her silvery pelt seemed to glow in the rays.WebPaw suddenly rushed out carrying a bunch of herbs into the nursery den.GoldenLeaf was not far behind,carrying more.PhantomPaw shot her sister a confused glance,but she looked interested too.WebPaw raced out and walked up to PhantomPaw.
"I need your help,can you fetch BushyTail?"he asked calmly,but PhantomPaw saw his eyes clouded with worry.
"Why?Whats happening?"
"AngelWhisker is giving birth to her kits!"
"What?!"A voice called as a ginger Tom with a very fluffy tail ran up to them."She's giving birth now?!"
"Yes!Come!"He meowed as they both ran into the nursery.SilverSoul walked up to her.
"Let's go."She meowed as PhantomPaw and SilverSoul ran into the nursery.A white cat with a very swollen belly was panting in short breaths.'
"PhantomPaw,do you mind helping?"GoldenLeaf meowed as she could see her,but she was focused on AngelWhisker.
"Y-Yeah."She meowed.SilverSoul looked worried.
Does she know what's going to happen?,PhantomPaw thought.
"WebPaw,hand me the poppy seeds,it should help the pain."GoldenLeaf meowed.WebPaw nodded as she licked his paw and picked up 2 poppy seeds in his paw.He held his paw out as AngelWhisker opened her eyes a bit and licked them out of his paw.
"W-When are they coming?"AngelWhisker asked,her eyes clouded with pain and worry.
"They're coming now."
"W-What?!What do y-"AngelWhisker meowed but yowled in pain.
"Hold on!"GoldenLeaf meowed as she bent her head down.PhantomPaw couldn't see what she was doing,but she was holding a white kit with ginger splotches.
"BushyTail!Lick the kit to keep it warm."She managed to meow through a mouthful of fur.BushyTail grabbed the kit and started licked it vigorously.She leaned down again and picked up a pale ginger kit.
"WebPaw,you know what to do."GoldenLeaf meowed as she handed the kit to him.She finally picked up a white kit.
"PhantomPaw.Lick the kit to keep it warm.Don't be too rough.Make sure it's breathing."GoldenLeaf meowed.PhantomPaw did as instructed and started to lick the kit.It didn't move at first,but eventually it started to move and PhantomPaw felt a faint rise in its chest.Eventually the kit started to wail,and GoldenLeaf picked it up.She put it in front of AngelWhisker and the kit started to drink its milk.The white kit with pale ginger splotches was also drinking,but the pale ginger kit didn't move.WebPaw looked at it and dropped its head.
"The kit......is no longer with us.His path is in StarClan now."WebPaw meowed.The nursery went quiet.
"No.....NO!!!"AngelWhisker yowled as she got up from the nest and ran over to the pale ginger kit."Why!?Why didn't you save her?!"She yowled.
"I couldn't.She was born dead."WebPaw meowed.
"AngelWhisker.I know your upset,but you need to feed your kits.Please get back into your nest."GoldenLeaf meowed.AngelWhisker just looked at her.She finally hung her head in grief and walked back into the nest.GoldenLeaf poked her head down.
"Their both toms."She meowed.WebPaw was chewing some leaves in his mouth into a pulp.
"The white one with the ginger spots is SpottedKit,and the white one is FeatherKit."AngelWhisker meowed as she looked at her kits.BushyTail looked like he could explode with pride.
It's weird how one moment,AngelWhisker is upset,but the next,she's calm,PhantomPaw thought to herself.
"You can leave if you want,PhantomPaw."GoldenLeaf meowed.PhantomPaw nodded her head and walked outside the nursery.
"Shouldn't you go report to AmberStar that AngelWhisker gave birth to the kits?"SilverSoul asked.
"Nah,WebPaw could do it."PhantomPaw replied.SilverSoul just stared at her for a moment and walked off to the gorse tunnel.PhantomPaw suddenly remembered something that happened in the nursery.
SilverSoul was acting different when the kits came......did she know that the kit was going to die?

"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather around for a clan meeting."AmberStar yowled across the camp.PhantomPaw opened her eyes and got out of her nest and walked out into the clearing.She saw BlizzardFang flick his tail.She sat next to him.
"What's going on?"
"MagicPaw is becoming a warrior."He meowed.SilverSoul walked out of ten gorse tunnel and sat next to PhantomPaw.
"MagicPaw's becoming a Warrior,I presume?"SilverSoul meowed.
"Uhh,yes."BlizzardFang meowed surprised.AmberStar yowled again,signaling the cats to be quiet.
"I have two things to announce.The first is,that AngelWhisker finally had her kits.Their names are SpottedKit and FeatherKit,2 toms."She meowed.The clearing broke out in celebrating meows.
"Also,we are gathered here today to announce a new warrior.MagicPaw."AmberStar meowed.MagicPaw walked up to AmberStar,her eyes glittered with happiness.
"I,AmberStar,leader of ThunderClan,call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice."She meowed."She has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code,and has proven that she is worthy to become a warrior.MagicPaw,do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your clan,even at the cost of your life?"
MagicPaw's meow rang out clear and confident"I do."
"Then by the power of StarClan,I give you your warrior name,"AmberStar went on."MagicPaw,for this time on,you shall be known as MagicCloud.StarClan honors your courage and skill."She bent her head to rest his muzzle on MagicCloud's head,and MagicCloud licked her shoulder in response.
"MagicCloud!MagicCloud!MagicCloud!!"the clan yowled,their eyes gleaming.PhantomPaw joined in.Afterwards,BlizzardFang walked up to her.
"We're going on patrol,ok?"BlizzardFang meowed as he shifted his eyes to SilverSoul"....she can join too."PhantomPaw nodded as she walked over to the entrance.MagicCloud,ScarletFrost,SkyPaw,and FireScar were all at the entrance.BlizzardFang and PhantomPaw joined them,and they all headed out.

"Wait!"MagicCloud called out as everyone stopped.She sniffed the ground and rose her head in recoil."Their's scent marks here."She growled as she backed up when FireScar approached.He sniffed the ground.
"She's right......RiverClan...."He growled."Fresh,too.We can still catch up to the mouse-brained patrol that decided to take our territory."FireScar growled.They ran off,following the scent until they reached a patrol of RiverClan cats.They turned around and hissed at the ThunderClan cats.
"Why are you taking our territory!?"FireScar hissed at a tortoiseshell she-cat with blue eyes.
"We're only taking what's rightfully ours!"a light brown Tom stepped up and hissed.
"CedarPaw's right.Every cat knows that sunning rocks is RiverClan's,and we just decided to take it back."The tortoiseshell cat growled coldly.PhantomPaw saw FireScar unsheathed his claws.
"Leave ThunderClan's territory now!"BlizzardFang hissed.
"DestinyClaw,were not leaving without a fight."a gray tabby Tom growled as he walked up to her.
"No,IceStorm,were not.CedarPaw!Go fetch others!We need to show ThunderClan's the true strength of RiverClan!"DestinyClaw hissed as CedarPaw ran off to RiverClan territory.
"SkyPaw,go fetch AmberStar!Now!"ScarletFrost hissed.SkyPaw nodded his head as he ran off to the ThunderClan camp.
"FinchPaw,get up here.I want to see your true strength."IceStorm hissed as PhantomPaw's blood turned to ice at the name.She saw BlizzardFang flinch as well.SilverSoul widened her eyes as the light brown she-cat walked up,her eyes showing fear.
Oh....no,
