(Warrior Cats)SmokeTrail's fire

Chapter 5- In Trouble

Smoketrail continued on through the dark woods, staying close to Goldeneyes. "I hope our kits are OK..."she heard him mutter, which made her shudder.

It started to rain, making literally every cat shout curses at the sky. As a result it started to thunder and lightning.

Smoketrail walked backwards for a moment, and then stopped, facing the group "look. Flashstar doesn't want her kits to be born without these four in good health."

Everyone but one cat exclaimed "she's expecting!?"

Smoketrail nodded"she's having her kits very soon and she wants her previous kits to be there. We have to find these kits alive, more or less. It has too happen no matter what!"

Everyone nodded but lightning struck, scaring the apprentices that had come along.

Everyone agreed on a huge oak tree, that was warm.

Once settled inside, cloverleaf shifted uncomfortably "smoketrail, what happens if we don't find them?"she asked sweetly.

"Well-"

"she'll go insane."answered a dull voice "she'll shut everyone out. And if we return with the news that we didn't find them, if they do turn up at some point, she'll be too far gone."

smoketrail looked around to see who was talking.

"Foxflame, give it a rest." One of the apprentices muttered, and her gazed flickered to flashstar's mate

"I can't believe her mate, of all cats would say that about her! She won't go insane! I'll make sure of that!"smoketrail hissed.

Foxflame looked angry and moved in on her, and she growled fiercely as they became nose-to-nose.

"H-hey. That's n-not funny..."smoketrail stammered, betraying how she made herself appear to feel.

Foxflame grinned slyly "you're afraid."he said simply

"W-what?"

"You're afraid that I'm going to do something to you. I'm not Iceglare. I'm not."

(first person from here on, smoketrail's pov)

Everyone gasped, and my eyes instantly teared up and I flinched at the memories that I had of us back then. I scratched him across the face with the most true warning that I had ever given:

"If you ever, ever, mention him, or what happened, again. I. Will. Hurt you. And I mean bad. and I promise I won't hesitate to do so."I growled, and not until a little after the shocked silence, and the recovery from the memory, I realized I had my claws to his neck.

I backed off and buried my muzzle into Goldeneyes' fur and cried.

Goldeneyes snarled at foxflame"stay away from my mate no matter what! She's the most important thing in my life, and if you try to ruin my life. We are going to have a big problem."

Lightning struck and I sank closer to Goldeneyes"I'm scared of storms...."I admitted "it's because I was always alone most of the day Every day for  as long as I can remember."

Then, some familiar cats passed by our little tree den and I pulled them into the den and started grooming the oldest one, without regarding their now happy wet faces.

-----

"Why did you save us?"roughpaw asked after I had groomed the other two brothers.

"Because I love you guys. I couldn't ever let you stay out there, even if you were any other cat. You're too young to die out here. All alone..."
