The Cat Journey
Chapter One
It was a dark cloudy day when Gingerstripe went for a walk. “Oh great” she cried “it’s going to rain.” She begged starclan for it not to rain. “Please starclan don’t rain until I get back to camp.” she finally made it back to camp, but it was misting before she got back. She was worrying about her upcoming kits. She was going to tell the leader but then there will be no medicine cat. She had to get an apprentice, soon. She went to see the leader of dustclan. “Pinkstar may I come in?” Gingerstripe asked. “Yes, come in. I wish to talk with you.” Pinkstar replied. “I also must talk with you Pinkstar, but you may go first. Gingerstripe said as she bowed. “So Gingerstripe when are your kits due and who is the father?” She said.
Gingerstripe was surprised. “H-How do you know?” “I know how a cat that is kitting looks like. Remember I have had kits.” Pinkstar replied. “How long have known?” Gingerstripe asked still in shock. “Long enough to know what you are going to ask. You were going to ask for an apprentice. Am I right?” “Yes Pinkstar, I am having kits.” Gingerstripe said sadly. Pinkstar tilted her head and said, “Why are you so sad now?” Gingerstripe was shocked how can Pinkstar say this! “Pinkstar how can you say it will be alright! It is against the warrior code! I won’t be accepted to starclan!” she wailed. “Calm down Gingerstripe.” Pinkstar snapped. “I will make sure you will be welcomed to starclan.” Gingerstripe was still sad. “I sorry Pinkstar, but I don’t deserve to be your medicine cat .Good bye Pinkstar.” she said. “Good bye my sister.” She mumbled under her breath.
Pinkstar watch her leave then wondered out loud “what does she mean sister?” As she said that greenpelt walked in. “Why are you just walking in greenpelt?!” she said. “Oh sorry Pinkstar!” he said shocked. “I have something to report.” “Go on.” Pinkstar said still angry. “I saw Gingerstripe running out of camp crying. Why?” He asked tilting his head. “She is having kits and says that she is not worthy of starclan and…” she stopped all of a sudden. “Yes Pinkstar?” Greenpelt sounded excited “S-She called me her sister.”
“She is telling the truth Pinkstar. I am her mate. I know you are shocked, but we must get Gingerstripe back. I think I know where she went! She went to forestclan!” He said happily. “Why would she go there greenpelt?” Pinkstar asked. “Her other sister left with your father and mother to forestclan because she was the strongest out of you three. Also Gingerstripe told me about a prophecy about her kits.” he explained.
“That is why she left and called me sister? That is unbelievable! But you expect me to believe that unworthy thing of a cat to be my sister! I will never leave this clan for her! It is her fault to be having kits!” Pinkstar hissed. “Well that is just fine Pinkstar you don’t have to leave you protected little cozy cave for YOUR SISTER! She will think that you hate her and I will tell her you called her unworthy. You will wish you never said that. You also lost you deputy and your medicine cat I resign to live with FORESTCLAN! I will stay with my mate no matter what till we met in starclan together!” Once he was finished he walked to the medicine cat cave and got some traveling herbs and left with out another word.
Chapter Two
Once Greenpelt left the medicine cat cave Starpelt went in and got the same herbs and followed Greenpelt. Starpelt finally caught up to Greenpelt and said without him noticing her behind him, “Where we going?” Greenpelt turned around right away and said…. “WE are not going anywhere; I’M going to forestclan for my mate. So go back to camp before I carry you back!” He snapped back. “FINE I could have been very useful to you Greenpelt. I know who your mate is and I will go back and tell the whole clan and where you are going AND that you are abandoning Duskclan.” She thought of cleverly to be sure she gets to go. “Fine, but as soon as we get there you come straight back here to Duskclan. Understand?” hoping that she would say yes. “NO I want to stay with you and Gingerstripe.” She said hoping that he said fine. “How did you know that it was Gingerstripe?” he said staring her down. “I over heard you and Pinkstar arguing. I also learned that Pinkstar and Gingerstripe are sister and their mother, father, and sister left the clan they were kits.” They were half way there before they noticed that they were. “Fine you can stay.”
They finally got to forestclan and they waited by the border for a patrol to past. After several hours one finally came. Greenpelt smell it and told Starpelt to stay hiding, but of course she said no. He smelled a familiar sent. It was Gingerstripe! But they both stayed at the border till they came. “What do you want!?” the leader of the patrol asked. “We have come to talk to your leader. Can we please see her?” he said nice as he could. “If you want to talk to her she is in our patrol. Can you point her out?” he said smartly to confuse Greenpelt and Starpelt. “Your leader would my guess be the cat that has not chosen a deputy yet. It is Gingerstripe.” The patrols jaws dropped in shock and mummer among one another. Gingerstripe stepped forward. “Yes Greenpelt and Starpelt? Greenpelt it looks as if you already have another mate! This is sad.” Now Greenpelt step forward. “No mate is better than you I came to join you in forestclan and so has Starpelt. May we join you and tell you what your sister has said about you.” “On this patrol we must not talk about her we can talk in my den. Ok Greenpelt?” “Yes Gingerstar.” “you may join forestclan. We must finish this patrol.” Greenpelt was happy to be with his mate. Also to have Starpelt on his other side. Greenpelt was hoping that Gingerstar would appoint him deputy, but it maybe too soon for that so he hoped he would be next! He was so happy that he walked straight in to camp first. The whole camp was shock they were ready to attack. Then the leader of forestclan walked into camp.
Chapter Three
Everyone watch Greenpelt and Starpelt as they walk to the leaders den. “Come in and sit down we must talk. The rest of the patrol you may leave I can handle this.” The patrol stared at Greenpelt and Starpelt before they got up and nodded to the leader and left. “First, I’m sorry for their behavior and thanks for coming. It is true I have no deputy and I have waited for you to come to give you the spot Greenpelt….” Greenpelt was shocked. “Shouldn’t you choose someone the clan trust first? I just got here I wish to get to know the camp and clan mates. I don’t know how long you were here before you became leader but I don’t think I am ready just yet. I’m sorry Gingerstar.” “You are wise Greenpelt that is why I wish to choose you and also….” Gingerstar stopped and looked at Starpelt. “Starpelt do you mind leaving I will call you back when I need you go and meet the clan. Ok?”
Starpelt nodded to the leader and left. “Ok Greenpelt. There is a prophecy not about my kits like I said…” she stopped again because of her kits. “Do you want me to get the medicine cat?” Greenpelt asked ready to run out for the medicine cat. “No, I’m fine for right now. Anyways the prophecy about us, and…… Starpelt. I don’t know if she has had a dream with starclan about it yet. So that is why I didn’t want her in here.” As soon as she stopped again another pain came this time he was not going to ask he left to get the medicine cat. “Hello? Anyone here? I need help for Gingerstar.” Out popped a cat. “What kind of help?” The cat asked not telling him her name. “I-I think her kits are coming. Who are you?” he said. “No time for questions I must check on Gingerstar.” She said determined. Greenpelt sprinted across the clearing to Gingerstar’s den. “Where did you go? Did you go to the medicine cat?” As soon as she said medicine cat the cat came barging in. “What did I tell you Greenpelt! I’m fine!” she spatted. Then the mystery cat spoke. “No you are not; your kits are coming finally.” “Really Spottedtail? My kits are really coming! I am so proud.” Gingerstar stated. “The father must be too. Who is the father?” Spottedtail asked. Gingerstar did not answer but Greenpelt did. “I am, and I am proud.” Spottedtail’s jaw drop to the ground. “So that is why you came all this way to be with Gingerstar and your kits?” “Yes and I am very happy I came when I did. I will be right back Gingerstar.” Greenpelt walked out of her den and called over Starpelt and told her what is happening and to tell the clan and spread it around. She nodded to assure him that she understood him. He walked back to Gingerstar’s cave and found one kit already.
Chapter Four
Greenpelt was so excited he looked out of the cave and cats were starting to gather around. He looked at the kit and asked “is a tom or she-cat?” “It is a tom” spottedtail replied and he ran out and exclaimed “THE FIRST ONE IS A TOM!” he ran back in to see he had another tom. Then ran out and said “ANOTHER TOM!” he ran back in and asked “How many more?” “Two more but she is growing weak. Here comes the next. It is a she cat!” he ran out and told the clan “IT’S A SHE-CAT!” ran back to see his last kit there drinking milk and it was another she-cat. “THE LAST ONE IS A SHE-CAT! GINGERSTAR HAS TWO TOMS AND TWO SHE-CATS.” The clan cheered. “Also I have accepted the position as deputy. If you have a problem with that come and talk to me and not Gingerstar while she is recovering.” He finished. Then he dismissed the clan. He walks back into the cave and to Gingerstar… “I accept the position of deputy. Thank you Gingerstar.” He bowed and walked out to let her rest. When he walked out he heard mummers, but he didn’t care. Then finally a cat walked up to him and said “I am glad you are our deputy and I support you and Gingerstar. By the way my name is Redmane your mate’s sister.” Than a flash crossed his mind. It was about the prophecy that Gingerstar mentioned. He wants to ask Starpelt about it, but Gingerstar told him not to so he won’t. Then he saw Starpelt across the clearing padding toward him after she was done talking to other warriors. “Is it true?” “What?” he asked. “That you are deputy and that Gingerstar had her kits!” she sounded excited. “Yes they are true she had two toms and two she-cats.” He replied. “WOW that is amazing.” Greenpelt finally said “I need to talk to you. Meet me at the training hallow.” “Ok Greenpelt.” Starpelt said before she left. Greenpelt followed her out. Once they were there Greenpelt asked “Has Starclan shown you a dream with a prophecy?” “No Greenpelt, why?” She asked now worried. “Remember when Gingerstar said she had a prophecy about her kits? Well, it is about us. You, me, and Gingerstar.” He told Starpelt. “Oh. Well what is it about?” she asked more safely. “I’m not sure yet, but don’t tell Gingerstar I told you. Wait till I get more information.” He said sternly. “Yes Greenpelt.” They walked back to camp they stopped to hunt so they don’t look lazy. When they got back to camp Gingerstar was outside pacing around. Greenpelt dropped his prey and ran to Gingerstar. “What is wrong Gingerstar?” he asked worried for her. “I need to talk to you and Starpelt now!” she hissed. “Starpelt come here.” Greenpelt yelped. “Yes?” she asked “In Gingerstar’s den now!” he hissed. “Ok! I’m going.” She said stubbornly. He followed As soon as they were settled Gingerstar meowed “I can’t hold it in anymore!” “What!” Starpelt and Greenpelt meowed at the same time. Gingerstar was silent for a few minutes. “Ok. There is a prophecy, but it is not for Redkit, Mudkit, Bluekit, and Pinkkit. It is for myself, Redmane, Greenpelt, and Starpelt.” “Does Redmane know yet?” Greenpelt interrupted. “Yes she does. Anyways it said, Friendship will be forgotten and one will turn on each other, but then all will be good in the end. What do you think it means?” Before Greenpelt could respond Starpelt went on to meow “I’m no medicine cat but I think it means that we will fight each other but then all will be good because of these kits.” She said pointing at the kits. “Wow that sounds reasonable. What the medicine cat said was kinda different. She said that we all would die.” Gingerstar finished. Greenpelt and Starpelt were shocked. “I must take a trip to moonpool to find out what they mean.” She continued “I will go with you.” Starpelt claimed. “Thank you Starpelt, we will leave at sunrise.” Gingerstar finished.
Chapter Five
Greenpelt stood up and hissed “You will not go to moonpool at sunrise tomorrow. You need time to recover from having kits I will go for you!” he said then walked out to get ready for the trip. Starpelt and Gingerstar were shocked they never saw Greenpelt so protective before. Gingerstar followed him out and called him back. “Greenpelt you may take my spot on the trip to moonpool. I say this under the approval of starclan.” Gingerstar claimed. “Thank you Gingerstar.”
Greenpelt bowed and thanked her many time before he left to prepare for the long trip. Before Greenpelt left for the long trip Redmane walked up to him and said “Greenpelt may I talk to you?” Greenpelt was confused at first but then he said “Sure. What do you want to talk about?” “You must not tell Gingerstar about this just yet.” Redmane said. “Okay. I won’t tell Gingerstar. What do you want I am busy?” Greenpelt snapped. “I’m having kits!” Redmane screamed. “Do you know how many yet?” Greenpelt asked. “No, not yet I just found out and I was on my way to the medicine cats den. Can you walk me there since that is where you are going?” Redmane replied. “Sure that would be no problem. I am so happy for you.” Greenpelt continued. “Who is the father?” he asked out of the blue. This question caught Redmane by surprise. “His name is Blackstripe.” She said quickly making sure no one heard her. “Does he know yet?” Greenpelt asked. “No you are the only one who knows other than me.” Redmane confessed. “Why are you so sad now? I hear that Blackstripe wants kits! So cheer up. I don’t want to remember you all sad while I’m gone. Also promise me that you won’t tell anyone till I get back?” Greenpelt said slower. “Okay. I promise Greenpelt deputy of Forestclan.” Redmane said jokingly.
Chapter Six
Redmane and Greenpelt went into the medicine cats den together but there for different reasons and spottedtail know each of their reasons to be there and everything was ready before they entered. Greenpelt called Starpelt and Starpelt came running from talking to a clanmate. “Almost time to go, Starpelt eat these herbs and then we will get going. Ok?” Greenpelt told Starpelt but never left his eyes off of Redmane while spottedtail checked her, but Starpelt never noticed till she was done. “All done Greenpelt.” She informed him. “Why do you keep staring at Redmane?” she ask sternly. “You do remember you have a mate and kits and she has a mate.” She added. “Of course I remember! She just was talking to me and I am worried about her that’s all!” He snapped back at her. “Are you questioning my love for Gingerstar?” He continued.
“Of course not Greenpelt…..” she said in a weak voice. “I’m going to say bye to Gingerstar I will be there in a few minutes.” Greenpelt’s voice was soft again. He left the medicine cats den with Starpelt and then went different ways as she went to where the cats came and go, and Greenpelt when to Gingerstar’s den. “Gingerstar you ok? Also are you awake?” Greenpelt asked carefully. “Yes Greenpelt come in.” Gingerstar replied. “Gingerstar, Starpelt and I are ready to leave. So this is good-bye till we get back.” Greenpelt said sadly. “Ok I will be here when you get back with you kits wanting to see you.” Gingerstar declared. “Ok my love” Greenpelt said before he walked out to meet Starpelt. Once he was with Starpelt they left for their long journey. They said nothing till they got to moonpool.
Chapter Seven
“Ok Starpelt you must stay out here and wait till I get back” she nodded in understand. Greenpelt walked down the little path down to the water below. He had heard stories of what to do here so he lay down and put his nose on to the water and sleep flooded him fast and easily. When he woke up he was no long at moonpool he was at Forestclan camp. He saw blood and then he saw his four kits nudging Gingerstar’s dead body. He ran over there and saw that he was too late. He also saw his color fur in her claws. He backed up slowly and saw his own body right outside of the warriors den. His body was motionless. Then he looked for Starpelt she was nowhere to be seen. So he gave up and went to look for Redmane. She was in the medicine cats den with the smell deathberries all over her. The medicine cat was no longer Spottedtail it was a cat he had never seen before. He knew it was a she cat but she looked familiar. It looked like Starpelt but all bloody. The she cat was covered in blood but not her own. When she cleaned herself, when all the blood was gone, it was Starpelt! After that he woke up and walked out to meet Starpelt. Once he was out there she asked “So what did they say?” “The medicine cat was kinda right some of us will die but one of us kills the others.” They were quiet the whole way back. As soon as they walked in the entrance he went straight to Gingerstar’s den. “Gingerstar we are back and I need to report something to you.” Gingerstar replied “come in and bring Starpelt with you I want to show you two something.” “Okay” was all he could say “Starpelt come here Gingerstar needs to see us.” Starpelt came running from the entrance. They walked into Gingerstar’s den and saw the kits running around and then they topped Greenpelt’s paws. “They are so cute!” Starpelt exclaimed. Greenpelt went on and played with his kits. Letting them climb on top of him and pin him down and he was actually having fun. “Ok you win Redkit get down. You too Pinkkit let me up... Gingerstar I would like to talk to you alone.” He hinted. “Ok Greenpelt. Out you go kits go play with the other kits.” Gingerstar said. “You too Starpelt” Greenpelt added. Starpelt nodded and walked out. “Gingerstar I know what the prophecy means. It means: you, me, and Redmane die and Starpelt lives but she is the one who turned us against each other. You and I end up killing each other and Starpelt gives Redmane deathberries. Starpelt was covered in blood but not her own... I saw our kits nudging you.” He stopped because that thought was too painful.
Chapter Eight
Gingerstar looked at Greenpelt with alarm at his words. "INVASION!" screamed the border patrol as they came bursting through the tunnel. Greenpelt darted out of Gingerstar's den and stared as a whole patrol full of loners busted through the tangled vines and bracken, already streaked with blood. "Gingerstar!" He yowled to his mate. "Stay inside and keep the kits safe!" A muffled reply came from the she-cat's scared voice. Greenpelt ordered a battle patrol quickly and gained attack on the loners who posed a threat to his Clanmates.
In the middle of the battle, Flowerfur froze. Greenpelt saw her standing there and gazed at her in horror. "Flowerfur? Flowerfur!" he yowled. He clawed away the loner he was fighting and ran to talk some sense into the frozen warrior. Just as she snapped back into focus, a tortoiseshell tom attacked Flowerfur. Greenpelt watched Flowerfur give way to a shriek of agony as the tom tore out her windpipe. Her screams cut off, and the rouge let go, letting Flowerfur hit the dust with a sickening thud. Greenpelt fell to his belly. He could have saved her - he could have saved Flowerfur and she would still be fighting against the invaders. It was his fault. Greenpelt picked up Flowerfur between his jaws and carefully carried her to a mossy spot for her vigil later on.
Soon, the remaining rouges and loners had fled the battlefield, not caring for their fallen kin. Gingerstar brushed against Greenpelt, comforting him. "It wasn't your fault," she whispered. "Don't blame her death on yourself.." Greenpelt looked away. It was his fault, and he knew it.
Chapter Nine
"Greenpelt..." a familiar voice cried. "Help me...." Greenpelt spun around to see Flowerfur covered in blood. A wail of horror escaped his jaws as he ran to help his friend. Somehow, she kept getting father and farther away from him, no matter how fast he ran...
Greenpelt awoke with a start. "It was only a dream..." he murmured to himself in relief. Stretching, he got up and shook his fur. He had a good feeling about today. "Greenpelt!" Starpelt called to the tom. She was beckoning to him with her tail. "Come here!" Greenpelt scampered over to where Starpelt stood. "Greenpelt I had a dream about Flowerfur." meowed Starpelt.

Chapter One
It was a dark cloudy day when Gingerstripe went for a walk. “Oh great” she cried “it’s going to rain.” She begged starclan for it not to rain. “Please starclan don’t rain until I get back to camp.” she finally made it back to camp, but it was misting before she got back. She was worrying about her upcoming kits. She was going to tell the leader but then there will be no medicine cat. She had to get an apprentice, soon.

I wish to talk with you.” Pinkstar replied. “I also must talk with you Pinkstar, but you may go first.

Gingerstripe was surprised. “H-How do you know?” “I know how a cat that is kitting looks like.

Pinkstar watch her leave then wondered out loud “what does she mean sister?” As she said that greenpelt walked in. “Why are you just walking in greenpelt?!” she said. “Oh sorry Pinkstar!” he said shocked. “I have something to report.” “Go on.” Pinkstar said still angry. “I saw Gingerstripe running out of camp crying.

Greenpelt was hoping that Gingerstar would appoint him deputy, but it maybe too soon for that so he hoped he would be next! He was so happy that he walked straight in to camp first. The whole camp was shock they were ready to attack. Then the leader of forestclan walked into camp.
Chapter Three
Everyone watch Greenpelt and Starpelt as they walk to the leaders den. “Come in and sit down we must talk. The rest of the patrol you may leave I can handle this.” The patrol stared at Greenpelt and Starpelt before they got up and nodded to the leader and left. “First, I’m sorry for their behavior and thanks for coming. It is true I have no deputy and I have waited for you to come to give you the spot Greenpelt….” Greenpelt was shocked. “Shouldn’t you choose someone the clan trust first?

Starpelt nodded to the leader and left. “Ok Greenpelt.

I will be right back Gingerstar.” Greenpelt walked out of her den and called over Starpelt and told her what is happening and to tell the clan and spread it around. She nodded to assure him that she understood him. He walked back to Gingerstar’s cave and found one kit already.

Once they were there Greenpelt asked “Has Starclan shown you a dream with a prophecy?” “No Greenpelt, why?” She asked now worried. “Remember when Gingerstar said she had a prophecy about her kits? Well, it is about us. You, me, and Gingerstar.” He told Starpelt. “Oh. Well what is it about?” she asked more safely. “I’m not sure yet, but don’t tell Gingerstar I told you. Wait till I get more information.” He said sternly. “Yes Greenpelt.” They walked back to camp they stopped to hunt so they don’t look lazy. When they got back to camp Gingerstar was outside pacing around. Greenpelt dropped his prey and ran to Gingerstar. “What is wrong Gingerstar?” he asked worried for her. “I need to talk to you and Starpelt now!” she hissed. “Starpelt come here.” Greenpelt yelped. “Yes?” she asked “In Gingerstar’s den now!” he hissed. “Ok! I’m going.” She said stubbornly. He followed As soon as they were settled Gingerstar meowed “I can’t hold it in anymore!” “What!” Starpelt and Greenpelt meowed at the same time. Gingerstar was silent for a few minutes. “Ok. There is a prophecy, but it is not for Redkit, Mudkit, Bluekit, and Pinkkit. It is for myself, Redmane, Greenpelt, and Starpelt.” “Does Redmane know yet?” Greenpelt interrupted. “Yes she does. Anyways it said, Friendship will be forgotten and one will turn on each other, but then all will be good in the end. What do you think it means?” Before Greenpelt could respond Starpelt went on to meow “I’m no medicine cat but I think it means that we will fight each other but then all will be good because of these kits.” She said pointing at the kits. “Wow that sounds reasonable. What the medicine cat said was kinda different. She said that we all would die.” Gingerstar finished. Greenpelt and Starpelt were shocked. “I must take a trip to moonpool to find out what they mean.” She continued “I will go with you.” Starpelt claimed. “Thank you Starpelt, we will leave at sunrise.” Gingerstar finished.
Chapter Five
Greenpelt stood up and hissed “You will not go to moonpool at sunrise tomorrow. You need time to recover from having kits I will go for you!” he said then walked out to get ready for the trip. Starpelt and Gingerstar were shocked they never saw Greenpelt so protective before. Gingerstar followed him out and called him back. “Greenpelt you may take my spot on the trip to moonpool. I say this under the approval of starclan.” Gingerstar claimed. “Thank you Gingerstar.”
Greenpelt bowed and thanked her many time before he left to prepare for the long trip. Before Greenpelt left for the long trip Redmane walked up to him and said “Greenpelt may I talk to you?” Greenpelt was confused at first but then he said “Sure. What do you want to talk about?” “You must not tell Gingerstar about this just yet.” Redmane said. “Okay. I won’t tell Gingerstar. What do you want I am busy?” Greenpelt snapped. “I’m having kits!” Redmane screamed. “Do you know how many yet?” Greenpelt asked. “No, not yet I just found out and I was on my way to the medicine cats den. Can you walk me there since that is where you are going?” Redmane replied. “Sure that would be no problem. I am so happy for you.” Greenpelt continued. “Who is the father?” he asked out of the blue. This question caught Redmane by surprise. “His name is Blackstripe.” She said quickly making sure no one heard her. “Does he know yet?” Greenpelt asked. “No you are the only one who knows other than me.” Redmane confessed. “Why are you so sad now? I hear that Blackstripe wants kits! So cheer up. I don’t want to remember you all sad while I’m gone. Also promise me that you won’t tell anyone till I get back?” Greenpelt said slower. “Okay. I promise Greenpelt deputy of Forestclan.” Redmane said jokingly.
Chapter Six
Redmane and Greenpelt went into the medicine cats den together but there for different reasons and spottedtail know each of their reasons to be there and everything was ready before they entered. Greenpelt called Starpelt and Starpelt came running from talking to a clanmate. “Almost time to go, Starpelt eat these herbs and then we will get going. Ok?” Greenpelt told Starpelt but never left his eyes off of Redmane while spottedtail checked her, but Starpelt never noticed till she was done. “All done Greenpelt.” She informed him. “Why do you keep staring at Redmane?” she ask sternly. “You do remember you have a mate and kits and she has a mate.” She added. “Of course I remember! She just was talking to me and I am worried about her that’s all!” He snapped back at her. “Are you questioning my love for Gingerstar?” He continued.
“Of course not Greenpelt…..” she said in a weak voice. “I’m going to say bye to Gingerstar I will be there in a few minutes.” Greenpelt’s voice was soft again. He left the medicine cats den with Starpelt and then went different ways as she went to where the cats came and go, and Greenpelt when to Gingerstar’s den. “Gingerstar you ok? Also are you awake?” Greenpelt asked carefully. “Yes Greenpelt come in.” Gingerstar replied. “Gingerstar, Starpelt and I are ready to leave. So this is good-bye till we get back.” Greenpelt said sadly. “Ok I will be here when you get back with you kits wanting to see you.” Gingerstar declared. “Ok my love” Greenpelt said before he walked out to meet Starpelt. Once he was with Starpelt they left for their long journey. They said nothing till they got to moonpool.
Chapter Seven
“Ok Starpelt you must stay out here and wait till I get back” she nodded in understand. Greenpelt walked down the little path down to the water below. He had heard stories of what to do here so he lay down and put his nose on to the water and sleep flooded him fast and easily. When he woke up he was no long at moonpool he was at Forestclan camp. He saw blood and then he saw his four kits nudging Gingerstar’s dead body. He ran over there and saw that he was too late. He also saw his color fur in her claws. He backed up slowly and saw his own body right outside of the warriors den. His body was motionless. Then he looked for Starpelt she was nowhere to be seen. So he gave up and went to look for Redmane. She was in the medicine cats den with the smell deathberries all over her. The medicine cat was no longer Spottedtail it was a cat he had never seen before. He knew it was a she cat but she looked familiar. It looked like Starpelt but all bloody. The she cat was covered in blood but not her own. When she cleaned herself, when all the blood was gone, it was Starpelt! After that he woke up and walked out to meet Starpelt. Once he was out there she asked “So what did they say?” “The medicine cat was kinda right some of us will die but one of us kills the others.” They were quiet the whole way back. As soon as they walked in the entrance he went straight to Gingerstar’s den. “Gingerstar we are back and I need to report something to you.” Gingerstar replied “come in and bring Starpelt with you I want to show you two something.” “Okay” was all he could say “Starpelt come here Gingerstar needs to see us.” Starpelt came running from the entrance. They walked into Gingerstar’s den and saw the kits running around and then they topped Greenpelt’s paws. “They are so cute!” Starpelt exclaimed. Greenpelt went on and played with his kits. Letting them climb on top of him and pin him down and he was actually having fun. “Ok you win Redkit get down. You too Pinkkit let me up... Gingerstar I would like to talk to you alone.” He hinted. “Ok Greenpelt. Out you go kits go play with the other kits.” Gingerstar said. “You too Starpelt” Greenpelt added. Starpelt nodded and walked out. “Gingerstar I know what the prophecy means. It means: you, me, and Redmane die and Starpelt lives but she is the one who turned us against each other. You and I end up killing each other and Starpelt gives Redmane deathberries. Starpelt was covered in blood but not her own... I saw our kits nudging you.” He stopped because that thought was too painful.
Chapter Eight
Gingerstar looked at Greenpelt with alarm at his words. "INVASION!" screamed the border patrol as they came bursting through the tunnel. Greenpelt darted out of Gingerstar's den and stared as a whole patrol full of loners busted through the tangled vines and bracken, already streaked with blood. "Gingerstar!" He yowled to his mate. "Stay inside and keep the kits safe!" A muffled reply came from the she-cat's scared voice. Greenpelt ordered a battle patrol quickly and gained attack on the loners who posed a threat to his Clanmates.
In the middle of the battle, Flowerfur froze. Greenpelt saw her standing there and gazed at her in horror. "Flowerfur? Flowerfur!" he yowled. He clawed away the loner he was fighting and ran to talk some sense into the frozen warrior. Just as she snapped back into focus, a tortoiseshell tom attacked Flowerfur. Greenpelt watched Flowerfur give way to a shriek of agony as the tom tore out her windpipe. Her screams cut off, and the rouge let go, letting Flowerfur hit the dust with a sickening thud. Greenpelt fell to his belly. He could have saved her - he could have saved Flowerfur and she would still be fighting against the invaders. It was his fault. Greenpelt picked up Flowerfur between his jaws and carefully carried her to a mossy spot for her vigil later on.
Soon, the remaining rouges and loners had fled the battlefield, not caring for their fallen kin. Gingerstar brushed against Greenpelt, comforting him. "It wasn't your fault," she whispered. "Don't blame her death on yourself.." Greenpelt looked away. It was his fault, and he knew it.
Chapter Nine
"Greenpelt..." a familiar voice cried. "Help me...." Greenpelt spun around to see Flowerfur covered in blood. A wail of horror escaped his jaws as he ran to help his friend. Somehow, she kept getting father and farther away from him, no matter how fast he ran...
Greenpelt awoke with a start. "It was only a dream..." he murmured to himself in relief. Stretching, he got up and shook his fur. He had a good feeling about today. "Greenpelt!" Starpelt called to the tom. She was beckoning to him with her tail. "Come here!" Greenpelt scampered over to where Starpelt stood. "Greenpelt I had a dream about Flowerfur." meowed Starpelt.
