-~ JointClan, BloodClan & BranchPack ~- Part 3 -~ A New Journey & Secrets -~ (Formally Known As BranchClan & ShadeClan)(UPDATED ON 2/14/09)

"We are?" Stormwind asked in surprise. Fernpaw jumped. " I wanna come!" Stormwind shook his head. "No, not now.. But soon.." Stormwind said, and Fernpaw was left in camp, unhappy but listening.
~~~
Branchstripe listened and nodded in concern.

Lionstar sniffed and jumped to his paws. "They're coming." He poadded out and told the clan what was happening.

Hazelkit, Cloudkit, Stripekit, Lionkit and Smallkit froze. "I wanna help!" Cloudkit said.
~~~
Branchstripe rolled his eyes.
~~~
Fernpaw observed the camp, and smiled. Stormwind and Scratchheart followed their clan.

Amberheart smiled. 'Not this time." She murmered.

~~~~

Lionstar padded to the borders. "He smelt something familar. "Stormwind!" He gasped, hissing. He saw Scarstar's tail, and he flicked his tail to tell get ready to fight!

~~~

Scarstar led his clan and noticed Lionstar.

Cloudkit pouted, adn Hazelkit laughed, a tiny little bell like sound.
~~~
Stormwind smiled, a sly thing, "Hi."
~~~
Branchstripe growled, adn bared his teeth.
~~~
Wolfheart hissed, and growled. "Stormwind. Is. Mine." He declared softly.

Lionstar flicked his tail. "Shut up you stupid furball!" He spat at Stormwind. "Thought I'd kill that Fox dung kit of yours?" He taunted.


~~~~

Amberheart hissed.

Stormwind hissed, and his face was close to Lionstar's. "Say that again, you kittypet clan." He hissed.
~~~
Wolfheart growled, and lunged at Stormwind.

Lionstar growled. "Kittypet? huh. Too bad. Bloodclan is THE kittypet clan...DORK.(XD)" He snarled.

(( XD OMG! ))

Stormwind and Wolfheart were a flurry of fur.
~~~
Scratchheart pounced at Lionstar. The fight had bgeun.

Lionstar dodged Scratchheart and growled. He pinned her down and bit her in the throat. He picked her up and threw her far.

Scratchheart hit the ground with a loud thump, dazed but speedy, hopped up and pounced at Lionstar once more. She pinned him, and nipped his ear.
~~~
"You. Did. This. You. Killed. My. BROTHER!" Wolfheart roared, and bit Stormwind on the face, and scratched his fl;ank. Stormwind growled. "Stupid furballs.." And leapt at Wolfheart.

Lionstar shook Scratcheart off and growled. "Nice. You let a kitty pet in your clan!" He hissed. He whipped around and knocked Stormwind off Wolfheart. "Shut up fox dung." He snarled at the formor deputy.

Scratchheart yowled, and charged at Amberheart.
~~~
Stormwind growled. "What are you gonna do about it?" Stormwind snarled. Wolfheart tryed to pounce at Stormwind again, not caring about Lionstar.

"Shut. Your. Stupid mouth up!!!!!!!!!!!!" He sreeched. He pounced and dug his claws in Stormwinds throat.


~~~~

Amberheart flipped AND DODGED. sHE barred her teeth.

Stormwind was slowing, and his was bleeding pretty bad. "You forced this upon your own Clan, Lionstar." He smiled, and while Amberheart's back was turned, pounced, hard.
~~~~
Scratchheart went flying, and hit Toothfang.
~~~
Branchstripe was jerked forward, quite rapidly and seeing things. He didn't know why though, he hadn't done the jerking thing since he was an apprentice.. He jerked forward, and then went limp..

He was in the old BranchClan camp, and there was fighting all around.. Dogs howling and cats screeching in pain and trumph.
Rain poured, and he saw Branchstar, being pinned by a dog. Lionstar, or Lionclaw at the time was fighting and saw Branchstar, "Noo!" He yowled. Branchstar was totally calm, and didn't even flinch. The dog bit into his neck, and Branchstar was lifeless.. Then more dogs started attacking, and Branchstripe, or Branchpaw, jumped out and started fighting. He watched in amazement, and a bit of horror. Why did Branchstar have to die?

In the present, the fight was still going on, and Branchstripe was lying limp in the grass among the fighting. Anyone could see he was breathing, but not aware of what was going on..
~~~~
Mellowheart appreared, and cackled. It looked like Branchstar was trying to get out and help, but Mellowheart was flooding his mind with horrid memory's, which Branchstripe started to see. Mellowheart laughed again, and went over to help Stormwind.

(Lord, alwein is back!)


Amberheart fell and noticed Mellowheart. What Mellowheart was doing to Branchstripe was clear. THAT made Amberheart made. He growled and whipped around. She bite down and Stormwind and scraped his eyes. She stuggled out of Stormwinds grip and charged at Mellowheart. She hit the rogue and protected Branchstripe.

~~~~

Lionstar hissed and ran at Stormwind. He hit his old deputy hard. "Too bad your Mellowhearts mate, or you'd have a better life...or death." He growled and finished Stormwind off.

~~~~~

Toothfang yowled and strangled Scratcheart. He became free and dove into the bushes. He stalked in hunters crouch toward BloodClan camp, out of site. The mud covered his smell as he noticed Fernpaw. He was going to finish her. He yowled and pouced on the apprentice, having much more experiance he bite down on her neck.

(( Kill. Her. And. PAY! Don't kill her, I have a plan for her.. >=) )

Mellowheart hissed, and flew, hitting a tree. But, she went right through. "Ha.Ha." Mellowheart sneered, and grinned.
~~~
Stormwind went limp, and his body was lifeless. Soon his spirit was next to Mellowheart. "They're. Gonna. PAY!" Stormwind growled.
~~~
Scratchheart yowled in pain, and lay limp for a moment. She regained strength, and pounced at Lionstar.
~~~
Fernpaw looked around camp, and sensed something wrong. "Stormwind?" Fernpaw mumured, scared.
~~~
Branchstripe lay limp in the mud, Amberheart protecting her. He jerked forward again, and kept watching the memory, horrified.

Stormwind was not in the fighting, but going off, away from camp. Branchstripe followed, silent and brisk. Mellowheart! Stormwind went up and nuzzled her, and the purred. Fernpaw appeared, but she was tiny, only a mere kit! "Fernkit." Stormwind purred..
Branchstripe gasped, but nobody heard.

Branchstripe was panting hard, in teh real world, and shaking.

(fine. Pm me what it is.)
(and please make what Amberheart is doing work)

Amberheart got a idea. She focused on Stormwind and Amberheart. Stay on the other side of the old border...[i] She thopught over and over. Suddenly, the two traitors started to fade. [i]Never be able to cross..... She repeated in her mind.


~~~

Lionstar stood standing. He flung Scratcheart off.

~~~~~

(TOOTYHFANG NEVER WENT IN BUSHES)

Scratchheart flew, and hit a tree. She was limp, and died.
~~~
Stormwind and Mellowheart faded, and went to the other side of the border. Stormwind tried to cross, but fell backwards.
~~~
Fernpaw blinked, and looked around, bored.
~~~
Branchstripe shook, and finally stopped. He was laying in the grass and mud, and eyes were wide open. Bracnhstar appeared, and looked around in horror.


(( I know.. She can sense somethings wrong.. Stormwind died! =/ So sad..)

Amberheart yowled in happyness. THe battle was over. THen she sensed something wrong. She turned around and fell backwards.


Lionstsar was dead.

Branchstar gasped. "No!!" He rushed over to his friend.. "No, no, no.."
~~~
Branchstripe looked up. "Lionstar.." He trailed off.. Why?
~~~
Fernpaw heard the yowling stop, and went toward where the sounds had been coming from. She saw BloodClan, and her father. She rushed over, and a tear fell down her cheek. She jerked upward. "I don't wanna die.. Being bad.." She murmured.

Lionstar appeared by Branchstar. "It was my time to join you..." He whispered. "Branchstar will rise." He finished, fading to the StarClan grounds.


~~~

Amberheart cried. "Why???" She murmured.

Branchstar joined him, a sad smile on his face as he watched his Clan. He eyed Fernpaw longest, and followed his friend.
~~~
Branchstripe felt a tear roll down his cheek. "I'm so sorry Amberheart.."
~~~
Fernpaw looked around, and wondered where Scarstar was. She didn't want to be in his Clan.. No..

Lionstar appeared by Fernpaw. "Your parents are dead. THeir on the otyher side of the border." He whispered. "JointClan is sorry, and they want you to join."

Fernpaw looked up into the face of Lionstar. "Y-you d-do?" She whispered.
~~~
Branchstripe sadly looked at the former leader. Leader.. He was leader now! Woah.. Fast, much?
~~~
Stormwind growled, and tried again to cross the border when he saw Lionstar talking to Fernpaw.
