Embersnake, Wolfshard, and Eagle'talon belong to @RingingBells Wadekit and Mellowkit belong to @Luckyy- Birdflower and Sunpaw belong to me Warriors belongs to Erin Hunter --> Story <-- It was dawn when the lost cats finally found the others. Two days had passed since Redstar and his small gathering party were separated from the others, but on the second day, Sandstorm seized control from Redstar in what seemed was a vicious yelling match early in the morning. "This is my Clan! Not yours!" Redstar had screeched. "It'll be your dead Clan if we stay here instead of searching for help," She snapped back. Ravenblink wondered why Redstar had given in. Since becoming leader, he let nothing, no cat, no weather, injure his pride. Maybe that was why he didn't want to search for the rest of ThunderClan. He was afraid of failing. Ravenblink snorted. If there was anything these days had shown him, it was that Redstar was a coward, and his own mentor was untrustworthy. Birdflower was a liar, too. He curled up under a tree, waiting for Sandstorm to yell at him to get up again. He needed the rest. But, he was being led fowards towards the ruins of his Clan by Stonefur and Silverstream, two RiverClan Warriors. No news from WindClan or ShadowClan. He shook his pelt and got up off the dusty, ash-covered ground and carried on with his trek. Something flickered in the corner of his vision, and he turned. There was a cat there. A cat he hadn't seen in moons. "Beware the slow burn, Ravenblink. Choose your battles wisely." The cat spoke, his pelt flashing with stars and dark stripes. Ravenblink blinked in confusion, but Longtail was already gone. --> Part 2 (of ch. 29) <-- Spottedleaf lifted her head high as she saw Redstar march into camp with his party. As her brother walked by, he hissed in her ear. "You won't get away with this, traitor." She narrowed her eyes and her gaze followed him as he marched along the riverside to Oakheart, who had taken control of RiverClan since Crookedstar went missing in the fire, saving any trapped cats. Spottedleaf knew the leader wasn't coming back. But Oakheart needed hope, not sadness. "Oakheart, this is my Clan. Why are they mingling with your fish-cats?" Redstar snapped at the brown tom, spit flying at his face. He looked insane. "They are hungry and so are we, our territories burned, and nowhere to go. We're working together to survive." Oakheart explained, carefully. "No! ThunderClan, get up. This is not right. We must go back to our territory!" Goldenflower looked up towards Redstar, and her tail was entwined with the previous ThunderClan leader, who had lost a life from the fire, and had one remaining. Graystripe and Runningwind looked up too, but didn't move from their makeshift nests. "We can't go anywhere," Patchpelt sighed, from next to a silver RiverClan cat. "Get up." Redstar repeated, but this time Spottedleaf stepped forwards. "No, Redstar, we're not negotiating with you anymore." She turned to Oakheart, putting Redstar behind her. "What should we do about the territor-" "NO!" Redstar yelped. "Traitors!" He leapt forwards, claws unsheathed, towards Spottedleaf.
