Falconflights tale

Chapter 14

By now, the whole clan was gathered around. Falconpaw pushed her way through with Goldenpaw at her heels. She was so heartbroken and angry with hawthornclaw! She had to tell him! But maybe he was right. She never paid much attention to firepelt and hawthornclaw anymore. Does firepelt feel the same? What about silverpaw,swallowpaw and cloverpaw? Does cloverpaw hate her?! She pushed her worries away. Hawthornclaw looked so scared. His fur was bristling and his eyes were small dots.
"Tell me hawthornclaw." Diamondstar meowed. "What does it mean?"

"You see the maggots? That means someone is going to kill someone in this clan!"

The clan gasped in shock.

"And and! The broken leg means that they will kill any other cat that gets in there way!"

Falconpaw looked over the berryfur in the crowd. Her eyes were glazed with fear. But what from? The sign? Or was it a warning? She smelled the air. Rain would be coming soon.

"And last!" Hawthornclaw hissed. "The ruffled feathers mean that that killer is a warrior in our clan!"

The clan started bristling. Lightningstorm was sizing up flamestorm while Briarbush was trying to calm him down. Peachfur hissed at dawnstrike lashing her claws out and gingerstep was crouched glaring at breezfeather who was lashing his tail and looming over him. Silverpaw and swallowpaw bumped into eachother from behind and clawed at eachother while dirtpaw and smallpaw were looking worried. Falconpaw spotted featherpaw and berryfur sitting by the nursery talking. Her gaze traveled back to diamondstar with firepelt now.
"Thunderclan!" She yowled.

The clans stopped what they were doing and gathered back around still hissing when some were too close and pushing.

"Thunderclan..I know we are in trouble. There is a traitor among us. But we have to stay strong! Fighting isn't gonna help! And we don't even know who they are after."

The clan fell silent. Falconpaw could feel their gaze burning on her pelt. Why were they staring?

"But diamondstar!" Breezfeather hissed. "How do we know who to trust?"

"I dont know. But for now everyone is to be treated like a loyal cat."

"I think its peachfur!" Dawnstrike hissed. "She's always keeping to herself! And she was the one to spot the rogues first!"

"How dare you!" Peachfur hissed back. "I'm no traitor! It's you for assuming things!"

"I think its lightningstorm and briarbush!" Flamestorm spat. "They always talk to eachother!"

Lightningstorm hissed and threw himself at flamestorm.

"Leave her out of this!"

Firepelt leaped and separated the two cats.

"Stop fighting! Diamondstar said so!"

"You think just because your the deputy your great?" Lightningstorm hissed.

He pinned firepelt digging his claws into his fur.

"Lightningstorm!" Firepelt meowed. "Jealousy won't help us solve-"

"Solve? Us? There is no us! It's just you!"

Firepelt kicked him off.

Falconpaw looked at her clanmates fighting her heart felt like a chain was cracking.

"Thunderclan!" She yowled.

The whole clan stopped to stare at her. Her pelt burned with embarrassment. She wished something came and just stepped on her so she'd dissapeared from existence.
