CHAPTER 16: "stay calm"

I didn't like it. i didn't like this feeling in my stomach, it was making me dizzy...i wobbled. "are you alright, mudpaw?" lemurtail asked. me and lemurtail were on our way to rock pool, rock pool was a a small pool of clean water surrounded by large grey rocks, hence the name rock pool. every full moon all four clans gather at rock pool for what was called 'a gathering'. it wasn't sundown yet, all the clans meet for a gathering around sundown, just before the moon rises. but right now it was just lemurtail and i. we were to meet Rainstar the leader of dustclan....i wondered why he wanted us to meet with him now, and not wait until the gathering. "mudpaw?" i looked up, "yeah I'm fine, just a bad feeling is all" lemurtail looked at me for awhile before replying, "me too" he mewed softly. I swallowed hard, something was about to happen. ........................................................ I didn't like it. i didn't like what was going on. Redpelt sat next to me, his fur was torn and he was wounded...badly wounded. his eyes were cloudy and unseeing, his breathing had slowed so much that i feared it would soon stop. I too was injured, but not as injured as my clan. i am Rainstar the leader of dustclan! oh why couldn't i prevent this! i shook my head and tried to sit tall, sticking my tail straight up in the air. lemurtail and those two apprentices would be here soon...i REALLY didn't like this feeling, it made me dizzy. "oh, lemur tail" i mewed softly "please don't come, please" it was a trap. as soon as the cats arrived they would be ambushed by the rouges. and i had set it all up. I had thought it was all to save my clan...i thought carrying out there will would save dust clan, but in truth there was no more dust clan, dust clan was gone. taken by the rouges. only Redpelt had stayed beside me. i glanced at him, and then i took a double take, his chest wasn't rising and falling as it should, he wasn't breathing! "n-no! r-r-redpelt!!!!!!!!"after that i could no longer speak. I'm freezing up, i thought, I'm freezing up like always do in tough situations! "What in starclan!" i snapped around, there stood lemurtail and the brown apprentice i had met earlier, where was the other apprentice? the whit-ish one. for some reason i was thinking that she could help redpelt...but, she wasn't there. "i......." i tried to make them stop, i really did, but in an ins tent the rouge cats were upon lemurtail and the apprentice...at that moment they were the closest cats i could call friends...friends, i would not lose anymore friends..."NO! IF YOU TOUCH THOSE CATS I'LL RIP OFF YOUR TAILS!" the yowl escaped me, i was unfrozen, and quite simply, furious! i dove at the rouges who were jumping on lemurtail and the apprentice, and batted them off easily. the rouges looked strong, but they also seemed unhealthy in a strange way. "rainstar what is going on?!" it was lemurtail, "I'll explain later, it's okay, stay calm" i yowled in reply. 'stay calm?' why did i say that?
