BRAMBLESTAR
Bramblestar had only just arrived back at camp when Lilyblossom and Grasspaw came rushing over to him. “We saw strange cats hunting. They smelled terrible,” Grasspaw meowed.
“That would be ShadowClan scent,” Lilyblossom said.
“Where were they?” Bramblestar asked her. “Didn’t I tell you to stay far away from the Twoleg path?”
“They were by the Sky Oak,” Lilyblossom said.
“We must drive them out,” Bramblestar meowed.
Then, he leaped up onto the Highledge. “Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the Highledge for a Clan meeting!” he called.
“ShadowClan has been seen hunting near the Sky Oak. We must drive them out. Lionblaze, Icecloud, Sandstorm, Dustpelt, Bumblestripe, and Dovewing will go,” he meowed.
Bramblestar noticed Tawnypelt pushing her way to the front of the crowd. “Bramblestar, you promised you wouldn’t attack them!“
“They’re too close to camp. Go and attack now, before they leave. We must teach ShadowClan a lesson,” Bramblestar ordered.
He noticed that Tawnypelt, staying by the Highledge as the rest of ThunderClan dispersed, looked crestfallen. But he knew that he had done what was right for his Clan.
As he headed back towards his den, he heard the soft pawsteps of a cat following him. He spun around to see Tawnypelt staring at him intently. “You promised,” she whispered. Then, louder, she added, “ShadowClan has the black liquid all over its territory. The prey is scarce and…”
Bramblestar glared at her. “I don’t care, Tawnypelt!” he meowed sharply. “That’s ShadowClan’s problem, not ThunderClan’s! If you cared so much about ShadowClan, you should have stayed there.”
A shadow of hurt passed over Tawnypelt’s face. She whirled around, with her neck fur bristling. Bramblestar realized that he had been too harsh with her. “Tawnypelt!” he called after her. She didn’t turn around. I never do anything right, do I? Bramblestar thought to himself. “StarClan, help me!”
