Faithkits dream(warrior cats series:faith rising, book one)

10.trickery

  Faithpaw started to feel proud that toms were after her.  It wasnt like othee she cats, who want mates but have none going for them.  She didnt know why she felt like this, but she just did.  and every time she saw Lonerstar smiling at her, she liked him more and more.  he was just like she knew him.  A kind loving tom.  finleap had mostly  stopped bullying her, but when she dis, Lonerstar always was there to protect and help Faithpaw.  She smiled, great and happy that she had a tom protecting her like she was his kit.

 "Faithpaw" ?  a voice called.  It was Lonerstar, most likely checking on her to male sure she was fine.  Faithpaw put the herbs she was sorting up and padded up to him.

 "Yes, Lonerstar" ?

 "Well, i was just checking on you, like i do at least ten times a day, i dont want to lose you".  He and Faithpaw sighed at the same time.  She looked at him in surprise and giggled.  He also laughed.  Falconkit padded behind his father.

" Dad I don't feel so well", Falconkit groaned.

 "Well, talk to Faithpaw about it, then, im not the medicine cat, little un", Lonerstar said sweet as honey.  Not that she had ever had honey.  Probably sweet as mouse blood.

" Did you put a mouse in my nest, yesterday, dad"?

 "No, hun, why"?

" i took a bite and now my belly hurts real bad", Falconkit said, his legs quivering in pain.  then he toppled down to the ground.

 "Oh no!  Get yarrow!"

 " what does it look like", Lonerstar asked, not concerned at all.  

 "Its yellow!  Just get it!  It smells the slightest bit like garlic, with a peppery smell!". When they made  Falconkit throw up, Faithpaw saw it.  Holly berrys.  

" I need to go out Lonerstar, can you look after him", she asked.  He nodded.

 "Thank you", she called back as she slid out of the den.  She padded into the forest.  A sharp scent hit her nose.  It smelled like Shadowclan.  What were they doing here?  But Faithpaw already knew.  They were at war right.  Pain hit her head as a Shadowclan cat hit her head, then pinned her.

"Easy target, an apprentice, we can easily show Thunderclan they cant support this new rule", Faithpaw guessed this was their deputy.  She saw their medicine cat shove their way to the front.

 "Get off her, she's a medicine cat", he snarled, fur ruffling.  Faithpaw could see it was Blazenose.  Flightflinger shouldered his way to them, glaring at blazenose.

" She's still our enemy, if we must kill her, then we must", the younger tom insisted.

 "Your wrong, were medicine cats, flightflinger, we are suppose to be allies, us medicine cats", blazenose growled back.  Faithpaw twitched her tail with fear.  The brambles russled and a shape leapt onto the Shadowclan deputy.  No it wasnt Lonerstar, it was finjaw.

" only I can atttack her", Finleap snarled her fur rising.  Faithpaw knew that she meant no one was aloud to attack her .  Did Finjaw really just say that, Faithpaw thought wirh shock.  She just defended me!  But why...  Faithpaw stared, wide eyed with shock.  Finjaw seemed to notice.

 "I wont let you harm my littermaye, I already lost some", Finjaw warned the Shadowclan cats, glaring.  The deputy shook his pelt, then leapt onto Finjaw.  More Shadowclan cats came.  Faithpaw ran for help, Shadowclan cats at her heela.

"Help!  Shadowclan is attacking " , she yowled as she ran tinto the camp.  Most people ran to help, others, some toms, stood, glaring at her.m

"Do as she says and go help,the rest of your clan", Lonerstar and Firestar snarled at the same time.  The rest of the shocked cats dashed out of the camps, their eyes wide.  Faithpaw dipped their heads to the two talking leaders, and dashed to the medicine den where she saw Flameheart.  He was making cobweb bundles, or herb pannels for after the battle.  She could here him murmuring under his breath.  At first she thought it was nothing until she heard the words.

"Light it up and let it go.  Dont you see that your not alone.  Light it up and watch it fly cause you can be anything you want tonight".  Faithpaw slightly smiled. 

He went quiet as she walked near him.  She sighed in exhaust, although she would have to help Flameheart.

"Go to bed, your tired, Faithpaw, thats a command ", he said to her gently.  She nodded and padded to her nest.  Alaverea sat next,to her nest and Flameheart saw her scratches.  He xlawed off some of the slimy stuff, and rubbed in on her scratches.  It reminded her of mint.  Athough it did burn a bit.

As Flameheart rubbed the stuff on her, she must have fallen asleep because when she woke up, there was a den full,of warriors.  She helped Flameheart carefully chew marigold while she placed the silky cobweb on some wounds.  She the put the pulp,onro,cobweb, the padded it onto someones wounds.  She reapeted this process until it was night time already.  Then they would woke more in the morning.

She lay back in her nest, restless.  She had heard Thunderclan had won.  There would be worse woinds in Shadowclan than the wounds here.  Feeling guilty she had an idea.  She woupd ask Flameheart about it tomorrow.  Sighing, she finally wisued she had litter mates born in the same litter as her.  If she did, she could ahev someone to talk to about all this.  Someone to trust.  To have a special connection with.  She would never have that feeling, Faithpaw whimpered silently, her eyes trailing to a small trail of blood.  It lead to the warriors den. 

 It looked fresh.  Waking up Flameheart, they made their way to the medicine den, rushleap, the warrior that was covered in blood.  It was recent, too.  And not a she cat.  It was a tom.  But almost immediately, Faithpaw could tell it was Lonerstar's battle way.  And there was no dout about it.  It was obvious.  A blind cat could tell.  Their was a murder among them.

Yay, finaly!  A new chapter!  :)
