Chapter 6- Warrior

Foxsong shook his head. The images of the blood still on his mind. He padded out of the den, and gasped when he saw the SageClan leader, Finchstar. Finchstar bristled at Wolfstar, and Foxsong crept closer. His father stayed calm, and then Foxsong's eyes widened. Riverfall. She was sitting beside Finchstar, her head bowed. Wolfstar's eyes flickered to Foxsong, his eyes narrowing. He flicked his tail, signaling for his song to come forward. Foxsong crept forward, his ears down.

"Where were you last night, Foxsong?"

Foxsong gulped and looked at Riverfall very quickly.

"In my den."

Wolfstar narrowed his eyes.

"According to Finchstar, he says a a moon-high patrol saw you else where."

Foxsong didn't look away.

"I-"

Wolfstar shook his head.

"I trusted you better then this Foxsong. Breaking the warrior code."

His eyes flashed to Riverfall who was looking at the ground. Wolfstar shook his head, then nodded at Finchstar.

"Thank-you for telling me. I will deal with him, and maybe these two will learn a thing or two."

Finchstar nodded and padded out of the camp with Riverfall followed. She threw one last despaired look at Foxsong. Then Wolfstar turned to Foxsong.

"What were you thinking!? She is a SageClan cat! Does the Warrior Code mean nothing to you!? Just because we have a prophecy over our heads doesn't mean you get special privileges! You're still a warrior over everything!"

Foxsong sighed.

"Fine. Whatever. I won't meet her again. I'll just die unhappy."

Wolfstar took a step back, his eyes wide.

"Wha-what!?"

Foxsong looked away.

"I never wanted to tell you, but I'm going to die. And I love Riverfall. I thought..."

He shook his head.

"Nevermind."

Wolfstar narrowed his eyes.

"Don't guilt-trip me into letting you see her. It's not going to work."

Foxsong shook his head.

"I was simply saying that I am going to die. I'm not going to live through the end of this prophecy. I've seen my death."

Wolfstar looked down, and Foxsong spoke again.

"The storm is coming, Wolfstar. It's almost here."
