Chapter 42: Major Changes

     Grayfur

     Hardly anyone is left in FireClan.  All because of Flamestar's ridiculous rules.  Even if I want to leave, I can't, for as a medicine cat FireClan needed me.  Oh, and, it isn't FireClan anymore.  Flamestar says that FireClan was the old days, and BlazeClan is the new ones.  Although I think abandoning FireClan is ridiculous; I hope those days will be back soon.
     There are four warriors I can name left.  Redvine, Pantherclaw, Scarstorm, and Darkfeather.  But those are the ones I really know.  There's about half and half between ThistleClan and BlazeClan.  Though ThistleClan has the advantages of a good leader. 
     A lot of time has passed since Rosekit and Frostkit vanished.  And in that time, I've recieved an omen.  And this is the time I'm going to share it.
 "Darkfeather?" I called.
 "Yes, Grayfur!" Darkfeather called back.  The black cat scurried over to where I'm standing.  Her gray-blue eyes looked into mine.
 "Darkfeather, follow me,"  I led her deep into the forest.  I couldn't risk anyone overhearing.
 "I've recieved an omen about you, Darkfeather,"  Darkfeather nodded. 
 "I have too, Grayfur," she replied.  "But I'm not sure what I need to do!" 
 "Darkfeather, find Rosekit and Frostkit.  Your destiny lies with them, not me." I felt tears come to my eyes.  Darkfeather had a destiny.  Mine was simply to tell her that.
 "Oh Grayfur!  What will Flamestar say?"
 "I don't know.  You had better go though."  Darkfeather put her tail on my shoulders and purred. 
 "I'll miss you, Grayfur.  May StarClan light your path."  Darkfeather said as she bounded away.
 "And yours too!" I called to her.  She may not have heard, though.  I stared after her for a few seconds, then sighed.  It's time to face Flamestar. 
     As I approach the camp, Flamestar himself approaches me. 
 "Where's Darkfeather?" he askes.
 "She's gone," I manage to choke out.  Flamestar stares at me.  And then, I realize he's staring past me.  Then, I make the mistake of turning around.  The slaming force of a paw knocks me down, and razor sharp claws scrape my flank.  I stare up into the fuming face of Flamestar.
 "Think again before you drive away my warriors!" Flamestar growls at me.  His claws sink deeper into my flank. 
 "Flamestar!  Grayfur's our only medicine cat!  Don't hurt her!" I hear Scarstorm yell.  Oh, Scarstorm.  Wether these wounds are fatal or not, you'rte too late.
