Chapter 13
Lightningclaw's P.O.V
I was dragged out by Darkmoon and Frozentail.
"Hey what's going on? Let me go!"
They dropped me in the center of camp and everyone was growling at Snowpelt and me. Why were they doing this to us? That's when Whiskerstar came out and yowled.
"My last part of my family betraying me for the clans to die how could you? Well what do you have to say for yourself?"
"We didn't betray you father. What are you talking about?"
"Lies! We've seen you going over the border through Riverclan territory and then to Shadowclan to plot with Clawstar! You fox-hearted traitors!"
"We haven't even gone into their territory please you got to believe us!"
"Why your traitors and I can't have traitors in my clan. I Whiskerstar, leader of Windclan, exile Lightningclaw and Snowpelt from Windclan! If any of my warriors see you in our territory they now have permission to kill you unless you join another clan."
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. My own father exiling his own family for doing nothing wrong. I just couldn't believe this. I turned and saw them growling at us ready to attack. I turned to Silverclaw and asked, "You believe us right? Please you have to help us."
"I believe you but I can't disobey my clan, I'm sorry."
"Let's just go Lightningclaw."
I nodded and ran with Snowpelt. We ran to the Thunderclan border and since I knew the tunnels we decided to camp there until we could find a clan to join.
I was hunting duty while Snowpelt was on den duty. I went past the moonpool and back into Windclan territory. There was no one in the far side of Windclan so hunted there. When I was stalking a squirrel a Windclan tom caught it. He growled and then threw it to me. "Your going to need this."
"Silverclaw. Thanks why does my father think we'd betray him? I mean because we're his only family left."
"I don't know. I would hurry though he's sending a patrol over here just in case you guys are still hanging around."
"Thanks Silverclaw I just need to collect the prey and then I'll be leaving."
"I can help you if you want."
"Thanks but you shouldn't because we have to cross into Thunderclan territory."
"I'll take that risk you guys got exiled for nothing and you deserve to be in a clan so I'll help you guys."
"Thanks Silverclaw. Let's hurry Snowpelt gets hungry very easily."
He laughed and nodded and I told him I put it all by the moonpool. He followed and he picked up three of the squirrels and I picked up three mice and two crows. We crossed the border and I showed him our little camp. He decided to use the tunnels to get back to Windclan and if anyone asked he was hunting. He left and we ate our prey. Before I fell asleep I realized I hadn't seen Rainpaw in awhile but I also realized Silverclaw is mooning over me. I liked him as a friend but nothing more. At least that's what I thought before laying down in my nest. Snowpelt made very comfortable nests so it was easy to fall asleep in them.
The next morning Snowpelt was gone and Shadowclan scent was every where. I looked out of the tunnel entrance and I was face to face with Thunderclan cats. They were growling at me so I got out. The gray speckled tom growled and asked, "What are you doing here Ligtningclaw?"
"Snowpelt and I have been exiled from Windclan and we were looking for a clan to stay in."
"Why were you exiled?"
"That I don't know. You'll have to ask my father at the gathering."
"We'll take you and Snowpelt to our camp but some cats will be out to get you though just a warning."
"Oh you'll have to just take me because Snowpelt isn't here. I think she was captured by Shadowclan."
"Shadowclan has been betraying the warrior code by taking our strongest warrior Lionblaze. He was captured two moons ago and we haven't heard from Shadowclan since."
"What Shadowclan hasn't been to the gatherings?"
"You haven't heard, Sol is back and is destroying Shadowclan again."
"Wow Shadowclan must be a bunch of mousebrain fools to believe in that old cat again. Snowpelt and Lionblaze are captured then they might be planning something other than capture and torture." I finished they nodded and We started walking to their camp.
I saw a starry cat standing beside me and the Thunderclan cats. It looked like Shadetail but I could tell it wasn't because there was dark aura around her. I think she was trying to trick me into coming back to the Dark Forest. It was tempting but I decided to ignore her. We walked into their camp and cats were already growling at me. It made me so made that I just wanted to claw their throats. Wait why am thinking that they are going to be my new clan mates. The gray tom walked up to a dark brown tabby tom with dark amber eyes. After he was finished talking the tom jumped onto a large over hanging rock.
"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather under the Highledge for a clan meeting."
As more cats started to gather the tom looked at me and nodded.
"Today two Windclan cats have decided to join us. Lightningclaw and Snowpelt, Lightningclaw come up here."
I nodded and jumped up beside him and dipped my head.
"Since Snowpelt has been captured by Shadowclan we will do this again later. Lightningclaw do you promise to protect your new clan even at the cost of your life?"
"I do." I nodded and he smiled at me.
"Then today I Bramblestar leader of Thunderclan welcome you as a full warrior of Thunderclan."
No one looked happy that two Windclan cats were joining. Until a ginger she-cat with a white paw started cheering my name. I was greatful for this cat. I jumped down and Bramblestar jumped down to tell me that the she-cat was Squirrelflight. I padded over to her when Bramblestar told me to wait to meet everyone and have Ferntail show me their territory and camp. As we padded around camp I saw the gray tom again and saw him sitting with a ginger she-cat with black paws. I then realized it was Rainpaw and Foxpaw. Although they were probably warriors they didn't even look at me. Did Foxpaw forget I saved her life and did Rainpaw forget that I loved him?
"Hey Lightningclaw are you ready for me to show the borders?"
"Uh yea sure."
"Is something wrong? You seem kind of lost in thoght a lot."
"Yea I am worried about Snowpelt and Lionblaze because well Snowpelt is my sister and since Lionblaze is our strongest fighter then what will we do if we're raided?"
"I don't know. We can all fight but if Lionblaze joined Shadowclan then no one can beat him."
After she showed me the territory I stopped by to where Squirrelflight was laying.
"Hey Squirrelflight, thanks for cheering me on when I first joined."
"Your welcome. Just because you were a Windclan cat doesn't mean our clan shouldn't welcome you."
"I better go Ferntail is waiting for me when I go on the moonhigh patrol with her."
"Ok be careful."
I nodded and went to my new nest so I could have energy for the moonhigh patrol. By the time I fell asleep I was in the Dark Forest.
"Welcome back you little traitor."
I backed up but I was surrounded. The Dark Forest cats were going to kill me before I could attack.
"Wait Darkfang let me handle this."
"Of course Snowtuft."
"As you may know Sol is back in Shadowclan and that we told everyone here to tell all the clans that Clawstar was as bloodthristy as Bloodstar when she wasn't. Now that Sol is back we'll have him destroy the clan's belief in Starclan forever and the Dark Forest will take over. Since their is a new prophecy we'll have to find every cat in the prophecy in order to do all of this."
He signaled with his tail and everyone started to move closer. They were going to kill me and if you die in the Dark Forest you stay in the Dark Forest forever
I looked around and saw that a cat was standing behind the group and he looked panicked. I decided to try and leap over to him but he disappeared into the forest before I could see who it was.
The cats had gotten closer and now I had to fight. Before they charged Darkfang yowled, "Finally my enemy will be on our side forever." I was angered by this and I growled and my hatred for Darkfang was so high a twoleg couldn't reach it. Snowtuft yowled and everyone charged except him. He jumped up into a tree and I started to attack everyone I could put my claws into until a shady golden tom pinned me down and clawed my face. I kicked and started to panick because he didn't budge an inch. "Scarface couldn't make so I'll kill you for him."
"Leopardnose."
He smiled and I waited to be clawed but he didn't move because the tom that had left was back and he was clawing Leopardnose's back.
I got up and saw Starclan cats and Rainpaw fighting the Dark Forest cats. I saw Leopardnose throw Rainpaw against a tree and Rainpaw's head was bleeding and so was his stomach. Leopardnose was panting and I saw Scarface come out of the trees. "You failed me Leopardnose, you failed me." Scarface jumped closer to me and he growled. I was so mad Scarface was like the leader of the Dark Forest I think even Snowtuft is scared of him. I saw Snowtuft come down from the tree and no one was here except Scarface, Snowtuft, and me. It was like we were in our own little world of death. "Let your storm out and try to kill us. Your anger is far greater for the loved one we hurt and maybe killed."
That's it. I leaped at Scarface and I clawed his face he jumped back and Snowtuft Jumped onto my back. His claws dug into my back and I yowled in pain as I saw my mother walk into the far side of the fighting between me and these sorry excuses for warriors. She looked horrorfied. I clawed Scarface's stomach after he bit my ear. He glanced at me and I tried to heal myself but my wounds didn't listen. I growled and pinned down Scarface. I put my paw onto his throat and unsheathed my claws slowly into his throat.
"Good now kill him and use your anger to destroy Starclan and the clans. Join me as deputy of the Dark Forest and Starclan warriors will bow down to us."
I looked at my mother I saw tears steaming down her face. She started to walk away when Snowtuft leaped in front of her. "Lets kill them both."
"No! I won't join you again. You will kill for revenge and I don't want to be apart of that!" I yowled and got off of Scarface. He was panting but he stood up shocked. I raced over to my mother and leaped onto Snowtuft's back.
"Shadetail run!"
She ran and I clawed his back. I was back in the Dark Forest and Scarface was gone. Everyone had left except Rainpaw and Snowtuft. "You better watch your back Lightningclaw we know your weakness so we'll use it to our advantage and the clans will still fall to their paws to the Dark Forest."
I woke up when Ferntail was waiting outside the den. I was bleeding just about every where so when I got out I was sent to the medicine cat's den to get my wounds cleaned. As Jayfesther cleaned my wounds I was thinking the Dark Forest knows how to get me on their side by using my weakness now. I just wanted to die now but I know now that I was the Lightning in the prophecy and I had to find the others in the prophecy soon or the clans will fall to the Dark Forest.
Sorry I haven't posted in the longest time. It's ok if your mad at me but please don't get mad I've been busy at camps and such sorry again. I'll try to update a lot sooner. Thanks if your still reading this.
