Slaight

Chapter 8

Slaigh's pov

Smokepatch and I were in the dark forest with Mistpelt, Sparroweye, and Jaykit, Darkheart was not happy. He gave us a whole lecture about obstacles in our way and how it could effect the turn out of the plans, his first action was to kill the poor kit. Mistpelt's first action was to obey him. He has my littermates wrapped around his paws, they'd kill each other if given the command, he forced Mistpelt to kill him, i saw the guilt but it disappeared as she told herself he wasn't suppose to be born. I jumped in her way though, and helped the kit escape, so that morning, you probably wondering what happened, right? Well when we first saw him we played till night were Mistpelt left him in the tree, promising to come back, but that night proved she didn't want him. That day Sparkeye and Rainpelt became warriors, leaving Splashpaw alone in the apprentices den, i watched as a light orange she-cat with dark orange/red ears and paws and honey yellow eyes walked into the nursery, followed by dark silverish blueish gray tomcat with light blue eyes, also known as Thundertail and Jaggedclaw, mother and father of Ashleaf, Sparkeye, Rainpelt and Suntail. She told the clan she was expecting her third litter, on only that but Whitestripe and Moonfur are expecting  their kits soon, Slaighfur couldn't stop hearing how Moonfur wished one of her kits would be black with white stripes and blue eyes like their father. Everything seemed happy when all of a sudden Cloudedheart, a gray and white she-cat with green eyes called the clan, announcing both Silverpelt and Robinstar were dead, she said they went out for a walk when they got ambushed, not making it out alive. "As for the new deputy, that shall be" she looked around at all the cats. I knew from being a kit, Smokepatch wanted to be deputy, but with his new found power he may be to ambitious. "Berryfoot". Berryfoot looked up with wide eyes, i'm positive i saw guilt in them, at the same time Minttail, light brown She-cat with a black tailtip,also the medicine cat had the same look, that only grew when Splashpaw ran over and congratulated her father. "Thank you" he said as the clan cheered. "Berryfoot! Cloudedstar!Berryfoot! Cloudedstar!" Roseheart rubbed against her mate happily. I smiled, my tail tip flicked as i watched everyone celebrate, I turned in time to see Smokepatch walk away, full of rage. I saw Mistpelt try to talk to him but he just scratched at her, the small cut becoming a big wound, she growled at him and headed to Minttail for some cobwebs. I felt a body a little smaller them me rub my side, I turned and saw Splashpaw. "Is he ok?" she asked pointing her tail to Smokepatch. "He's fine, just a little upset" i asnwered as Jaykit ran out of the nursery happily, a little uneven on his tiny paws. (jaykit is small for his age ad always will be, also the clan loves him and don't know he's Mistpelt's cause Slaightfur brough him in) I purred and he ran to me, everyone claimed he was mine from the way he hung around me, but he wasn't, i wish he was. I smile as everyone sat in the clearing of camp, relaxing and talking as the sun set, cool air going over us all. That night i stayed up with Splashpaw and Jaykit, looking at the stars and silverpelt in the sky, i purred as we fell asleep in my nest.
