Warriors: The Six Clans (EDITING ATM)

Chapter 25

As the Clans padded slowly towards the town, Woodpool, mingled with the other cats, was speaking with Cinderleg.

"Are you excited to see the town?" Woodpool asked.

"I'm only excited to be speaking with you," Cinderleg whispered.

Then an image flashed before Woodpool's eyes. He saw Leaftail fighting with... Petalpaw? And many other rouges fighting with the Clancats. His blood ran cold. "I-I-I, I need to talk to Leaftail," he mewed anxiously to Cinderleg.

Ignoring the disappointment that flashed through Cinderleg's eyes, Woodpool rushed towards Leaftail who was, obviously in front of the clans, and at the same time trying to avoid crashing into somebody.

At last, he reached the front, but only after he met with the two leaders, Greenstar and Splashstar.

"Oh hello, Woodpool, why are you running so fast? You are outrunning the whole two clans!" Splashstar asked, a hint of amusement in his tone as he padded.

"Um, I need to tell Leaftail something," Woodpool quickly replied.

But before he could reach Leaftail, he was stopped by Greenstar. "What thing is so secretive that you can't even tell your leader?" He demanded.

"Why should you care!" Woodpool retorted back before running to Leaftail, not turning back to see how Greenstar reacted.

When he stopped near Leaftail, Leaftail looked at him in surprise and asked, "Woodpool? What is it?" Ruthpelt and Curlpaw also went closer to them to hear what was happening.

"I got a vision," Woodpool whispered and saw Leaftail's whiskers twitched in surprise. "There were rouges attacking the two Clans, and... you were fighting with... Petalpaw."

"What? But Petalpaw is dead!" Ruthpelt growled. "She can't be found!" Curlpaw nodded but Leaftail closed her eyes and trembled.

"P-Petalpaw cannot be found, but does it mean that she is dead?" Leaftail mewed softly and before anyone could answer, she growled, "No, and that means Petalpaw could be alive. Starclan said the truth. Rouges are going to attack us, and Petalpaw is leading them. It's the danger in the prophecy."

"What prophecy?" Curlpaw interrupted. Woodpool wanted to ask that, too.

"Blossompaw told me that she received a prophecy when she went to the Moonpool to become a proper medicine cat apprentice," Leaftail whispered while plodding slowly. "Danger will come during the journey, blood will spill blood, but Leaf will save the Clan."

"Blood will spill blood?" Curlpaw asked timidly. "What is the blood?"

"I don't know, but I think 'blood' is the rouges," Ruthpelt said thoughtfully. "But what are we suppose to do now? Should we tell the clans?"

"I think not. What if the clans panic? What if they decided to go back?" Woodpool replied.

"I agree," Leaftail mewed. "I swear to Starclan I will not tell the clans."

"Me too," Ruthpelt agreed. Curlpaw nodded.

"Good, thanks guys," Woodpool said.

It was another ten minutes before the Clans got near the 'town'. The clans hid behind some trees to avoid getting seen by two-legs. Woodpool breathed in a deep breath and cringed at the strong scent of two-legs.

When the two Clans had settled down, Greenstar spoke, barely loud enough for the cats at the back of the Clans, including Woodpool, to hear. "Three cats from Plantclan and three cats from Waterclan will explore this area and see if there are any other route. Since this is kind of dangerous, we will only choose warriors." Mutters of agreement rose.

"Mousetail and Lionpelt, and my deputy, Mistfur will go," Splashstar spoke. The three cats padded forward confidently and bowed.

"And for my Clan, Stemleaf, Woodpool, and of course, Grassclaw will go," Greenstar meowed. Woodpool was shocked to hear his name being called, but still padded up to the leaders with Stemleaf and Grassclaw.

The two leaders faced the six cats before Splashstar mewed, "The six of you will explore this area but not too near the town. Please come back before Sunset since now is Sunhigh." The six cats nodded.

"Greenstar then turned to look at the rest of the clancats. "The rest of us shall rest after such a long way," he advised. "These who are not tired can hunt, but don't stray too near to the town." Cats muttered their agreement.

The clans then bid farewell to the leaving cats. Woodpool's paws tingled with excitement, and he tried hard to force himself not to run.

"The deputies shall lead the patrol," Stemleaf advised. The patrol nodded and the two deputies went in front.

Before long, they reached a thunderpath. Surprisingly, there were not so many monsters.

"Now what?" Mousetail asked, defeated. There were silence while the cats thought of a plan. Then Mistfur broke the silence.

"Why not one of us climb a tree to figure out where we are first?" The rest of the cats thought for a while and then nodded.

"I'll climb," Stemleaf said and unsheathed his claws. He then sunk his claws into a tree and started climbing. As he climbed, the cats below watched. Woodpool saw Stemleaf becoming smaller and smaller before he realised he was at the top of the tree.

"Wow! The town is extremely huge!" Stemleaf shouted from above in awe. "I wonder how could anyone, even two-legs, made this town!"

"Great! I think you should get down now," Grassclaw yowled. Stemleaf then became bigger and bigger until he had reached the ground.

When he did, he mewed, "This thunderpath is like the entrance of the town. I suggest we should follow the thunderpath until we reach the end of the town. It's not that far and I think there's another route there, but the fog had covered my view."

"All right," Lionpelt mewed. "So left or right?"

"Left."

Thus, the patrol headed left until they reached the end of town, exhausted but fascinated of what was above them.

In front of them were huge mountains. On the mountains was a cliff that were big enough for cats to walk on and also a huge flat place and seemed to never end except for some gaps that they would need to jump.

"This is where the clans should go," Mistfur concluded. "I just hope there are no eagles here."

"Great, now let's go back," Grassclaw mewed.

Woodpool sighed. It would be a long way back to the clans!
