Chapter 16 - Out of sight, out of mind
Owlmoon POV
It had been around a moon since he and Lilyfoot got together and he had been trying and failing to convince his clanmates of Foxpaw's situation! Why... Why didn't they believe him?
Owlmoon was laid in the Warriors Den when he heard yelling from outside.
"Owlmoon!"
Owlmoon sighed and could barely turn around before being dragged and thrown from the Warrior's Den by Snakewhisker.
"I'm sorry." He whispered before joining Snowstar.
"Owlmoon, the Clan has been made aware that you are in a relationship with Lilyfoot, the Medicine Cat. Is this correct?" Icetalon glared at him.
"Father, I-"
"Is. This. Correct?" Icetalon asked him again.
"Y-yes, Father." Owlmoon looked down.
Icetalon shook his head,"Bring her out."
Lilyfoot was brought to Icetalon by a worried looking Doeleap. Icetalon glared at Owlmoon as he bit into Lilyfoot's back.
"No!" Owlmoon yowled and jumped onto his father with unsheathed claws.
Lilyfoot scampered behind him as Icetalon released her. The pair tossled on the ground before they were stopped by Snowstar.
Owlmoon growled as he guarded Lilyfoot from the disapproving cats around him.
"Get out of my sight." Icetalon spat.
"Icetalon-" Snowstar tried to calm him down.
"No, Snowstar. I've got this." Pebblemist stepped forward and whispered something in Icetalon's ear.
"Pebblemist, what are you doing?" Owlmoon questioned.
"Saving your life." She winked.
"Fine, your life shall be spared... But I never want to lay eyes on you again." Icetalon snarled.
"Mother-"
"You aren't who I thought you were Owlmoon." Shadowstar flicked her tail,"Leave my clan."
Owlmoon glared at the family he thought he could trust before lashing his tail and turning towards the camp entrance.
He sighed as Lilyfoot quickly followed after him and they left WaterfallClan camp.
"Where will we go?" Lilyfoot asked him quietly.
"I don't know but... I'll think of something." Owlmoon shook his head.
Lilyfoot rested against him as the headed in a random direction, not sure where they were going... They just needed somewhere.
And somewhere was what they found... It was rogue lands but they should be fine, right?
Foxshadow POV
Foxshadow had snuck off, managing to escape from Mousewhisper and she was crawling through the bushes. That's when she spotted... Owlpaw and Lilypaw?
"What are you doing here? You need to leave, Owlpaw!" Foxshadow hissed, revealing herself.
"It's... I'm Owlmoon now and this is Lilyfoot." Owlmoon's eyes widened,"Is that you, Foxpaw?"
"F-Foxshadow.." She sighed,"I'm... I'm supposed to be a warrior."
"So it is true.." Owlmoon nodded slowly.
"What's true?" Foxshadow stepped back.
"I, uh, had some weird... Dream thing? Frostpelt, he spoke to me." Owlmoon explained.
"And you didn't tell me?" Lilyfoot asked.
"Well, I just had it and my father had other plans." Owlmoon rolled his eyes.
"Other plans?" Foxshadow tilted her head.
Owlmoon sighed,"He kicked me out for our relationship since, well, Lilyfoot is a Medicine Cat."
Foxshadow shook her head,"N-nevermind that right now, you need to leave!"
"Is it Mousewhisper?" Lilyfoot asked quietly.
"Bingo~"
"Run!" Foxshadow hurried in front of them as Mousewhisper jumped down.
Foxshadow watched with a face of... Relief, as her friends ran from the danger they were in. Great. They're safe now.
"Aw, I just wanted them to meet my new friend!" Mousewhisper purred.
"New... Friend?" Foxshadow's shoulders tensed.
"Foxshadow, meet my new Apprentice, soon to be Warrior... Fawnpaw!"
