Opened Eyes (Book One Moonlight)

Chapter 8

Blood spilled and bloodcurdling cries shed the camp. Stormchaser shot up and rushed out. Cats back and forth were battling, and this was not a normal battle with one clan. They were fighting two. Wispclan was outnumbered. Claws raked his backed as he whipped around. The she-cat went flying and hit the ground. She launched herself at him fury in her eyes. He raked her face, blood spilling onto his claws. She yowled and slashed him on the neck. Blood gurgled out of his mouth as he dropped onto the ground. Windpool launched at the tabby and flung her off of Stormchaser. He heaved and got up. A cat came rushing in as warriors spilled into the camp. Were they enemy's?  No it was Forestclan! The Forestclan warriors sprang onto the other cats left and right. There was still hope. Oceanclan fled first. Their warriors pushed through the warriors some getting pulled down. Leafclan wasn't that easy to take down though. Eventually, the only cats that remained were either Forestclan or Wispclan. A yowl echoed the camp. He rushed over to see a limp gray pelt lying helplessly. At first he couldn't tell who it was until he saw the dark stripes that covered the body. It was Graypelt. Rosestar was sitting there nothing but despair in her eyes. "Starclan why are you doing this to us" she whispered pointing her head up. She jumped up to the highrock, sliding with the little effort she gave. "Cats old enough to catch their own prey please gather here for a clan meeting" she pronounced duly. Cats walked from where they were to the highrock to hear what Rosestar was going to say. "As tradition I must assign a new deputy before moonhigh which is almost here" 

Stormchaser looked at the sky. They had fought so long that the sky had turned a mixture of blue and amber which was the color of sunset. "Our new deputy will be Stormchaser. I hope Starclan approves of my choice"

Was he really chosen? Heat warmed up inside of him as well as sadness. He had lost two of his clanmates which one of them was his mate. Cats cheered his name, even Forestclan did. "Thank you for your help" Rosestar thanked Tigerstar dipping her head. Tigerstar nodded  and ordered his cats to the entrance. Rosestar hopped off the highrock and headed for her den under the highrock.
