Destiny (Warrior Cats)

Chapter 3 part two

🐦🍀🌿CHAPTER 3 PART TWO🌿🍀🐦

🌿Mallowkit🌿

Mallowkit sat lazily in the midst of the night. Nightkit and, surprisingly, Silverfeather were already asleep. Mallowkit just couldn’t.

Not without Cherrykit.

Thrushflight still hadn’t come back; most warriors already knew he was stubborn to his opinion.

But why, StarClan? Why Cherrykit? Is it my fault? Answer me!!! Mallowkit kneaded the ground with her claws.

She padded out of the nursery into the moonlight, hiding behind a tree stump as she noticed Clovertail guarding the entrance of camp.

She gazed up at Silverpelt. Promise me Cherrykit’s safe! ‘Please,’ She mewed out loud.

‘Who’s there?!’ Clovertail called out, pricking her ears.

Mouse brain! Mallowkit hissed to herself in her head.

‘Who’s there?’ Clovertail repeated. ‘It’s no use hiding, I know I heard you.’ She called, though her voice wobbled slightly with fear.

Mallowkit sighed. She didn’t want to scare Clovertail into thinking it was a PineClan attack, so she staggered to Clovertail sheepishly.

Clovertail gasped with relief at the sight of Mallowkit.

‘What are you doing out of the nursery?’ She hissed, not wanting to admit how scared she had been.

‘I’m worried about Cherrykit,’ Replied Mallowkit, embarrassed.

‘Oh,’ The warriors voice softened. ‘I thought Thrushflight had come back.’

‘No.’ Whispered Mallowkit.

‘Maybe I could help look for him…’ Clovertail whispered back when she noticed the kit was close to tears.

Despite how snappy Clovertail usually was, Mallowkit had already been told she had a soft spot for kits. 

‘Really?’ Squealed Mallowkit

‘SHHHHH!!!’ Hissed Clovertail

‘Sorry.’ Mallowkit lowered her voice as Clovertail lead her out of camp. 

They wandered around for a while, and eventually Mallowkit couldn’t take it anymore.

‘What if she’s gone into PineClan territory?!’ She spluttered.

Clovertail frowned. ‘You have a point, but I don’t think that I would go into PineClan territory right now, some cat must be guarding the entrance there.’

Mallowkit couldn’t help but think how she had pulled Clovertail away from guarding MarshClan’s entrance.

She continued along tiredly, feeling zombified. Clovertail was far ahead of her, but she didn’t have the energy so keep up.

Clovertail paused, looking at Mallowkit. ‘Maybe we could rest for a bit.’ She lay down.

Mallowkit padded over to her, staring up at the moon, until it’s bright white light blurred into darkness.

~*~

‘Wake up Clovertail and Mallowkit! Wake up!!!’ Growled a deep voice.

Mallowkit opened her eyes. The moon was beginning to go down. We fell asleep! She realized in shock, getting to her paws.

‘Thrushflight!’ She exclaimed, seeing the tabby tom.

Clovertail stirred next to her, opening her eyes. She blinked. ‘NO!!!’ She gasped in disbelief. ‘How could I?! Falling asleep, you stupid, stupid mouse-brain!’ She growled to herself, fixing a glare on Mallowkit as if it was her fault.

Mallowkit shivered, and looked up at Thrushflight. ‘Did you find Cherrykit?’

Thrushflight looked at Clovertail. ‘First, I want an explanation of why Clovertail was not on guard as she was supposed to be.’

‘This kit begged me to leave with her!’ Accused Clovertail.

Mallowkits jaw dropped. ‘I did not!’

‘Just wait until Breezestar hears,’ Hissed Clovertail.

‘But-‘

‘ENOUGH!’ Thrushflight yelled.

The two she-cats stopped and looked at him.

‘I’m sure you both have reasonable explanations. Breezestar will not have any knowledge of either of you leaving camp unless either camp has been attacked,’ He looked at Clovertail ‘Or if I choose to. Understand?’

Both cats nodded.

‘To answer your question, Mallowkit,’ Thrushflight continued ‘I managed to get a glimpse of Darksong holding Cherrykit captive.’

Mallowkit gasped. ‘What will we do?’

‘I’ll take up the matter with Breezestar,’ He replied ‘But for now, we must get back to camp, before sunrise!’

No cat said a word on their way back to camp. Clovertail took position at the entrance. Thrushflight began to pad towards the warrior den but stopped as he heard hushed conversation coming from the elders den.

Intrigued, Mallowkit followed him to the mouth of the den, neither cat daring to peek around the corner.

‘I promise you, there was no cat there!’ Russetwhisker was rasping. ‘All I did was go to the dirtplace. No guard at all!’

‘Are you sure?’ Replied Squirrelfur.

‘Of course I’m sure!’ Russetwhisker snapped ‘Oh, when Breezestar hears about this…’

‘Really really really? I’m sure there is a cat there.’ The new elder replied.

‘Go and check yourself if you don’t believe me!’

Thrushflight and Mallowkit raced to hide behind the nursery tree-stump as Squirrelfur padded out.

‘Greetings, Squirrelfur.’ Clovertail called from across the clearing.

‘There is a cat here!’ Squirrelfur called to Russetwhisker.

Russetwhisker poked her head out of the den, and let out a disdainful sniff at the sight of Clovertail.

Mallowkit felt a nudge towards the nursery.

“Go.” Thrushflight mouthed, and Mallowkit padded in, curling up next to Nightkit.

I hope Cherrykit’s okay… She thought as she fell asleep.

Yupyup :D That’s chapter 3 done for you folks! Once again, an ultra short chapter, but I guess they call it short and sweet for a reason 😉! By the way, the symbols on the chapter title are just kind-of symbolising the main characters of the chapter. Should I keep doing that so you can try guess who they are or something (It's really for my entertainment, but it can be for yours too XD) Update sometime-ish hopefully! 🐱💗
