Book 8 - Chapter 2

Night, Silver and Gray all looked at each other before choosing. Gray padded back towards Cloud. Silver and Night turned and went towards Darkfinch. "I think that we should let the kits live with their decision. If they die because they refuse to fight it will be their own fault." Birchtail said. Mossfur nodded. "Cloud does this suit you?" asked Mossfur. Cloud nodded, "This does suit me just fine. From now on I have only 4 kits," snarled Cloud. The kittens exchanged a look. "Don't think that you are going to be welcome again under my roof." Cloud snapped at the other kittens. With that Cloud and her kittens turned and padded back to the Fishclan camp. Darkfinch padded away beckoning with his tail to his new recruits. In the Fishclan camp. Cloud padded up to Sparrowstar and asked to make an announcement. When Sparrowstar nodded, Cloud leapt up the rocks. "I have an announcement to make Fishclan and Sparrowstar has generously let my give my little announcement from up here. I am very thankful for how much kindness you have shown me and my kits. I thank you, so very much, but my kits and I are leaving FIshclan. We may come back but we are indeed leaving. I do appreciate what you have given my kits, but I feel that the group of cats has stolen something. I don't want to lose any more of my kits to any one else. It's not that I don't trust you, I just don't trust Darkfinch and his cats.  I currently have only 4 kits left, and we will be traveling back to the barn that I first lived in." The clan cats stared. Blossomfur looked between her sister and her clan. "If I may, I would like to go with Cloud to as far as her new home then I would return. I wish to see that Cloud is settled into her new home because I know what it is like to have your life disrupted by Darkfinch. He lost me my first friend. I don't wish that any other cat is harmed by Darkfinch and I wish that I can help Cloud. I wish I can keep her from getting harmed any more by Darkfinch." The leaders considered before Troutstar spoke, "You have speaken like a true warrior Blossomfur of course you can go. We will stay here until you return. Blossomfur nodded and padded away with Cloud and her kits by her side.
