Silverflame's Fall

Chapter 9 (Hopeful Future )

"Creampaw! Your here, I've missed you so much."

I could feel, his soft fur, against my pelt. His deep purr, made me feel like a kit in the nursery. He started to give my ears confurting licks.

"I've watched you grow into a fine warrior." He words calmed me.

"Even..." I asked my voice full of worry.

His tail skittered slightly, but eyes remind strong, "I am proud of you."

He nuzzled me, and the stars started to melted away, the sparky glinded in his eye.

"Whats going on?" I titled my head.

"I'm coming home." He smiled.

"Home?" I felt more confused than before.

I felt the pull of real world and nosed him one last time, "Goodbye," I whispered.

"See you soon." He chuckled.

I open my eyes, to Sparkpaw calling my name for border portal. I shewed him out of my way he simply bounced off. I was yawning when Darkshade and Strombrezze join me. They nodded gruffly, neither of them awake. The warriors stumble out of camp while Sparkpaw chased butterflies. I caught his tail and send him to scout the border

Darkshade chuckled, "How do you do it?"

"What?" I grumbled.

"Keep up with him," My brother purred.

"Just you wait you'll have apprentices soon too."

"Yicks" Strombrezze shuddered. "I'm terrified at the thought."

I bumped him with my hip. He chuckled but stopped when we all heard Sparkpaw yowl of fury.

We all ran forward, anger filled him, if anyone touched him. They would have wish they had gotten up this morning. I over took my clan mates. And skidded to a stop when I saw the cat Sparkpaw had pinned. Darkshade and Stormbrezze gasped. Sparkpaw looked up at me, expecting praise and only get my shook.

Stormbrezze spoke first, "Creampaw?"

He padded forward, "Is that really you."

Sparkpaw let him get up, he was small compared to us, about the same size as Sparkpaw. He purred, "I was afraid you'd let Sparkpaw eat me."

I flatted him in close embrace. "You really did come home."

"Of course, I love you." He purred.

I looked up in my clanmates, "I guess we are going back to camp?" I smiled.

Darkshade snorted, "we'd be fools not to."

Stormbrezze nodded, "Starclan has blessed us, first Skyfall now, Creampaw."

Sparkpaw sniffed Creampaw, mistrust obvious. "Who are you?"

Creampaw laughed and smiled to myself, "My name is Creampaw, I'm Silverflame's brother."

"Then why have I never seen you before?" my apprentice flicked his tail.

I shared a look with Stormbrezze, how do we tell him, he was dead before you were born? We padded back into camp, and Flamestar looked up and confused, Lizardblaze yowled and pushed past to meet her oldest son. Maplemoon sat there with Darkshade both looked confused, they had been born after he died. Skyfall chirped at him and the two play fought for awhile. I padded over to Flamestar, and she nodded to me.

"What are gonna do with him?" She asked me.

"What do you mean?"

"He needs a mentor, he's still a paw."
