Warriors Deadly Echoes: Dimming Starlight

Chapter 13

"I know a cat!" York piped up.
"You do?!" Bravestar mewed surprised. "He says he has dreams from the sky, saying the stars whisper things." He went on.
"Find him. Please." The leader meowed.
Onestar dipped his head to Dawnreed. The cream she-cat nodded her head. "Almondfall, head back to camp and tell Whitestar that I'm helping TimberClan with Onestar." She meowed to the almond furred she-cat.
"On it." She bounded away quickly.
"I know the way." York meowed. Bravestar nodded his head. He led them through the forest to a house next to the Horseplace.
"Why are we here?" Leopardheart asked.
"Paschal?" York called quietly. The grass shifted and a brown cat with a ripped ear and a shoulder scar came into view. "York? Is that really you?" He meowed.
"Yes." The white and ginger tom replied.
"The others insulted me called me crazy when I told them the upwalkers would burn that den to the ground.." Paschal muttered giving his good ear a scratch. "Stupid fleas.."
"So you don't have owners?" Bravestar asked.
"Our friend here says that you can read the stars?" Leopardheart meowed. He shook his head to Bravestar then turned to the golden she-cat. "Of course I can! Clear as day! I'm no fool! The stars whisper things that no one else can hear..."
"Hmm.." Bravestar meowed simply. "What are your doing here York?" The tom turned to his companion.
"I came for you!" He replied.
He blinked. "Go on."
York nodded. "I want you to come with me." He explained then told about TimberClan and how they needed a cat of his abilities.
"I am intrigued. Alright then." He gave his brown pelt a shake.
York brightened.
Paschal gave a purr. "You will not regret my services." He vowed.
"I look foward to it." Bravestar meowed.

As they padded back to the territory, they heard the foliage rustle.
"What are you doing here? This is ScarClan territory!" Snarled a gray and silver tom.
"Slatetooth of ScarClan, on patrol I see." Feralstrom meowed.
Halfpaw growled. "He asked you a question!" The apprentice curled his lip.
"So, desperate again for members that you're taking in dregs?" Sneered his mentor, Needlefang.
"Says you." Rainfrost retorted.
"Excuse us but we are a new Clan." Bravestar mewed.
"Hm. Noted. Very well, but stay away from ScarClan.." Growled Hummingclaw in the back.
"TimberClan will take that warning." The thick furred leader meowed.
"TimberClan?" Halfpaw echoed.
"TimberClan. I am Bravestar. And my this is my deputy Leopardheart." He meowed.
The spotted she-cat only flicked her tail.
"We'll leave you to that. Whitestar will be wondering what has become of us. Feralstorm, come." Onestar meowed as he began padding away. His deputy bounded to catch up with him and he and his clanmates were gone.
Bravestar dipped his head. "We shall consider your warning." He meowed.
