Chapter 49: Sent Away
Weed
Two cats are approaching StormClan camp. I don't like what I see. They are hostile, and they're heading straight for StormClan camp. I know I must protect Ivystar. If those cats dare hurt her, they'll have to go through me first.
Ivystar
I've always been told that destiny can hit you in the side, or greet you at the entrance to your camp. I never thought a third option could be crushed by a boulder. It was a peaceful day in StormClan camp, no riled up apprtentices; all was calm.
And then Wolfstar came.
"Lovely day, Ivystar," Wolfstar mews.
"What brings you here, Wolfstar?" I ask.
"Ah, can't a leader come check on a fellow forester?"
"Wolfstar, our territories are far apart. And we are clans. We don't completely rely on one another. What is it you want?"
"Your clan."
My fur bristles. My clan? What can Wolfstar possibly want with StormClan!?
"Don't fret, Ivystar. We can do this the easy way, or the hard way. You can leave, or I can force you out. And if you still resist, I can kill you."
All the clan is gathering around us. Fear runs through my pelt. I can't fight Wolfstar. He's too powerful.
"I'll leave," I say. Even Wolfstar looks surprised, and then his look fades away.
"Alright," he says. "Go now."
And I listen to him. I just walk away, and ignore all the strange looks my clanmates give me. I'll find comfort somewhere. Flamestar has always been kind; maybe he will offer mercy.
