Warriors Secrets of Shadows: Alpha and Omega

Chapter 18

Dawnreed nodded and carefully watched Windfur untangle the branch. The small wolf yipped and ran away. "Great StarClan.." Muttered Sedgeclaw. "Let's keep going." Branchspots mewed.
"We need to get back before Whitestar will wonder what's become of us." Dawnreed mewed in agreement. They started heading back towards camp. Once they padded through the entrance, Rosetail bounded forward with her second son, Clawkit at her heels.
Sparkkit was okay.
"Sparkkit!" His mother meowed, rasping his tiny head with loving licks. "Yay! You found him!" Clawkit squeaked with glee as he bounced up and down.
"I was so worried about you!" The red/brown pelted queen meowed.
"I'm sorry I snuck out of camp mama.." The kit's ears flattened and his tail drooped as he looked sad.
"You shouldn't have done that Sparkkit." His father, Bloodfur meowed as he bounded near.
"I was only trying to be brave like you dad..." The brown kit mewed softly.
"Being brave doesn't mean looking for trouble," The red/brown tom meowed gently. "I never want you doing something like that ever again, okay?"
Sparkkit nodded his head. "I understand dad." He replied.
"Good. Now let's get you groomed and ready for a nap." His mother meowed licking the top of his tiny head.
"We thank you all so much for finding him." Bloodfur meowed to the patrol.
Dawnreed nodded. "Of course." She meowed.
Stunclaw bounded up to Branchspots and licked his cheek. "I saw you all return with him! That's great!" She purred.
"Yup!" Petaldust chirped.
Feralstorm was sharing tongues with his mate Lightspot.
Whitestar was feasting on a mouse beside her daughter.
Silverwing was curled up in a dark corner of camp.
Leafpelt had begged Onestar and his father to let her stay to show her that she always has her father's support even though he was across the lake. Silverwing looked over at the rest of camp.
The tan and white tom licked his daughter's ear.
"Hey dad.." She mewed.
"Hello my daughter," He mewed softly, setting a mouse down at her paws. "I thought you might be hungry."
"Thanks." She half smiled. Leafpelt purred.
She took a bite of the mouse.
Howlingdawn padded up. "Don't worry Silverwing.. Everything will be okay." He promised his sister.
"I just hope Brightstripe's okay.." The silver tabby meowed.
Goldenpaw had come with Silverwing, not wanting to leave her side. She was play fighting with the ViperClan apprentices.
Silverwing sighed. "Dad.." She meowed.
"Yes Silverwing?" Leafpelt asked, lowering himself on his belly, tucking his front paws neatly underneath him. "Can we organize a search party?" She asked.
"Funny you ask," He began until Badgerstalk padded up.
"Uh Leafpelt, Uncle Feralstorm wants to see you." Baderstalk meowed carefully.
Silverwing looked confused.
"We can't keep this from my sister.." Howlingdawn mewed. "It's important to her!"
"Keep what from me?" Silverwing asked, eyeing all three of the toms. "We were going to go on a search party in Twoleg place for her.." Badgerstalk rumbled.
Silverwing stood up. "And why keep this from me?!"
"We didn't want to, but we had no choice!" The younger tom argued.
"Then why?" She meowed.
Howlingdawn looked down at his paws. "We don't want to loose anymore cats... I remember when we almost lost our father to Crimsonstar and Uncle Pikefang... Then our mother to Crimsonstar again... I don't want to loose you.." He told her.
Silverwing nudged her brother. "Come on brother. You know I could beat a fox one on one." She purred.
Howlingdawn purred.
"So it's settled then you're coming with us." Leafpelt purred licking her ear. "And you can't stop me." She purred. "As if I wanted to." He mewed.
"Then let's hurry up." Silverwing meowed.
"I'll fetch Uncle Feralstorm." Badgerstalk bounded to get the WolfClan deputy.
