CHAPTER 4

I’m gonna do something a little different here ;)

Thrushflight

Thrushflight yawned and stretched at the light of dawn. Sure, he hadn’t slept long, but he had more important matters to attend to, but first, he decided to eat.

He nodded towards Clovertail, who was heading to her nest, before going to the fresh kill pile.

Splashpool was already there, and when she saw Thrushflight she looked at him, her tail gesturing towards the rabbit she had picked out.

‘Thanks.’ Thrushflight gulped down half the rabbit in no time, though he still felt ravenous.

Splashpool looked up. ‘You can have mine if you want. I was planning on going hunting anyways.’

Thrushflight gave her a thankful look before polishing off the rest of the rabbit.

He stood up, Honeypaw stumbling blindly into him.  Her eyes were glittering happily.

‘Have you heard? Frostrose is expecting Berrystar’s kits!’  She scurried off, repeating the news to every cat in sight.

That was quick. Thought Thrushflight, with a pang of sadness. He had always liked Frostrose. It doesn’t matter! He shook the thought out of his head. As long as my leader is happy, so am I.

He climbed up the rocky steps to the top of the ClanHill to Breezestars den, in which Berryheart, the deputy, just padded out of.

‘Greetings, Thrushflight. What brings you?’ She asked.

‘I need to see Breezestar,’ Thrushflight replied. ‘It’s important.’

Berryheart narrowed her eyes but nodded towards the mouth of the den. ‘If it’s all that important.’

Thrushflight padded in, and with the first sight he saw, instantly regretted it. He looked to see Breezestar and Frostrose sharing tongues with a pang.

‘Hello, Thrushflight.’ Breezestar meowed, touching noses with Frostrose before dismissing her with a wave of his tail.

‘Hi.’ Thrushflight looked at his paws.

‘Is there something you need to talk about?’ Breezestar replied.

‘Yes, about Cherrykit.’

‘Ah, yes, I was expecting news on that.’

‘I’ve seen her.’

‘Where? Why didn’t you take her back to camp?!’ Breezestar cried.

‘She was in PineClan camp… With Darksong…’ Whispered Thrushflight.

‘That tom means trouble.’ Snarled Breezestar. ‘This is unacceptable! I will call a Clan meeting right away.’ He dismissed.

Thrushflight left the den and leapt off the ClanHill, just as Breezestar padded out.

‘May all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather under the ClanHill for a meeting!’ Breezestar yowled.

Thrushflight watched as warriors and apprentices streamed from their dens, into the clearing.

Murmurs from cats rose as a general chatter started.

‘Quiet!’ Bellowed Breezestar.

The chatter dropped like a deadweight stone.

‘We have an issue I need to share with the Clan. I am sure we have all heard about the disappearance of Cherrykit. Thrushflight has discovered her whereabouts.’
