Goldheart's Fate

Chapter 8

Silverstone's POV

"Halt! Who's there?" Meowed a cat who was standing guard.

"It's me, Silverstone" I reply

"Silverstone? You're alive? The whole clan thought you were dead!" The cat who said that was Shimmerpelt, a senior warrior.

(Note: sorry I haven't really described other cats from her clan. I'll try to do better!)

"I'm back, yes. All I want to do now is curl up in my nest and sleep. I'm exhausted"

"Of course! Follow me. Everyone will be glad to see you!" She mews.

She leads me into Sunstar's den

"Sunstar! Silverstone is back!"

Sunstar's eyes turn wide. "Silverstone? How..?"

"I was trapped in a tunnel, and I found a way out" I meow

I don't want her to know about my power, or Goldheart.

My heart aches at the thought.

"We are glad to have you back. Shimmerpelt, go show Silverstone to her nest"

Shimmerpelt dips her head "Yes, Sunstar"

She takes me to the warriors den, and into my nest.

Immediately cats all around me awaken.

"Silverstone!"

"You're okay!"

"What happened?"

"Leave her alone! She's very tired. Let her rest." Says Shimmerpelt.

I nod her my thanks, and I curl up in my nest next to Flamestorm.

"I'm glad that you're okay. What happened to Goldheart?" He whispers.

I growl at the mention of his name.

"Goldheart is none of my concern anymore." I hiss

Surprisingly, Flamestorm purrs.

"Remember what happened between Misty and I? I don't want it to happen with you too. I'm glad you finally came to your senses"

I sigh. "You're right"

I curl into a tight ball, wrap my tail over my nose, and drift off to sleep.

**********
"Silverstone! Wake up!" Some cat yells.

"Please wake up! I have to talk to you!" The cat pokes me in my ribs

"Silverstone!"

"WHAT?!" I growl. I finally get up, blinking away sleep from my eyes.

"Silverstone it's me. I need to speak with you"

"Goldheart! I don't want anything to do with you!" I hiss

"Silverstone, please. Give me a chance to explain." He says

"I gave you that chance! You told me to never come back remember?! Go back to Starclan with your friend, Frostshine."

Goldheart looks at me.

"Listen-"

"No! I will not listen! You lied to me. You're keeping secrets from me. Your dead for Starclan's sake!" I hiss

"Silverstone? Keep down the noise! Can't a medicine cat get any sleep around here?" Meows my father, Jaywing.

"Sorry Jaywing. Go back to sleep. You're still a little uneasy after what happened in the Dark Forest" I say

"I will-"

Jaywing stares at Goldheart, hatred filling his eyes.

Goldheart stares at him in awe, eyes wide.

He backs away slowly, getting ready to run.

Jaywing bristles up and growls.

"It's you!"
