Falconflights tale

chapter 18

Falconpaw p.o.v

   I felt heat wash over me. My eyes slightly opened. Some sand got in. I couldn't care less. My eyes fully opened. My body felt so stiff. I looked around. Where was I? Trees, grass, a.. river? I had somehow made it off of clan territory. Two fox lengths away from the shadowclan border. The sand I was laying on was burning me. But it didn't hurt that much. Who knows how long I've been here.
   Gathering up my strength, I turned my paws under me and pushed myself up. My back legs pushed themselves up. I slowly but steadily got up. My body ached. My left eye was infected by how it felt. I didn't care anymore. I needed to get back to the clans. If I went back, berryfur would kill me for sure. Maybe the clans were better off without me. I was just slowing them down. No! I wasn't!
   I slowly put a paw over the other.
                     Then tripped.

   I pushed myself up again and slowly limped towards the border.Why didn't I just die? Why didn't she just kill me? Suddenly my head started hurting. It hurt like hell! (Sorry about the word) I stopped and put a paw over my head. Why won't it stop? My mind suddenly whirled. And I was switched to somewhere familiar.
          

                I was at the nursery

I could only hear argument. Who was that? It sounded like berryfur and a male cat.
"I'm just saying you should love both of them! I don't care if you only want one kit! They should both be treated with respect!"

"You sound just like my father! But your not! Your telling me I should love them both, but I don't want to! I only wanted one kit! You made me have two!"

"Look! I give up! Just know that when that one is born, I'll treat her with the best love I could possibly give. Your a selfish cat! I can't believe I loved you!"

"I can't believe you would say that! Your the one that confessed your love to me! Now your regretting everything we had together! Unbelievable!"

"No, berryfur, your unbelievable!"

The sound of paws fainting in the distance told me he left. What had happened between those two? Why couldn't I see them?

   Suddenly I jolted back to normal. I didn't notice the shadowclan scent washing over me until I saw three cats step out of a bush. One was a black Tom cat apprentice with a scared muzzle and red eyes. Another was a dark gray she-cat. Her back leg had a scar over it and her eyes were green. Also an apprentice. And the biggest one was pure white Tom with black stripes. His gaze looked confused. Then him and the other male cat bristled.
 

  "What are you doing so close to the border!" The white striped one hissed.
   "Rogues trying to invade I see?" The apprentice spat.
   The she-cat looked worried. I bristled but then coughed. My body was in no shape to fight right now. The warrior stopped and looked at me. He gaze slowly softened.
   "Are you okay?" He asked, coming closer.
   I jumped back and hissed. My back barley arched. My claws slipped out. Some were torn. I flattened my ears even though it burned. He backed up and looked at me again but with a sympathetic glance.
   "What are you doing you toadbrain!" The male apprentice hissed. "This is an intruder! We need to teach her a lesson!"
   The white striped tom whipped his head around and glared at the apprentice. His eyes blazing.
   "This is not for you to handle darkpaw!" He meowed. "You will be on elders duty till further notice. For talking like your the warrior here!"
   Darkpaw, mumbled something under his breath and glared at me. The white tom slowly looked back at me.
   "Come with me." He offered. "You look severely damaged. Our medicine cat will help you."
