Claws in my heart (TigerStar x reader)

~•Chapter 16•~

"T-TigerClaw...?"

"The one and only," he chuckled darkly, then the rouge ShadowClan warriors started to surround you.

"Did you kill R-RunningWind?" You muttered, your E/C eyes wide in alarm, he nodded.

"Of course it was me, he was weak anyway," the dark tabby growled, you tried to back away but you collided with BlackFoot, glaring down at you. "Now BlackFoot, we don't want to harm her."

"But I thought you wanted everyone in ThunderClan dead," BlackFoot snarled. TigerClaw shook his head, turning his attention back to you.

"Why don't you join us Y/W/N? It will be better for you," TigerClaw meowed.

You stared at your paws shaking, "I-," suddenly you heard yowling from behind as a group of your clan mates came rushing forth.

"Leave her alone!" FireHeart snarled at TigerClaw, he grumbled as you ducked down in shock.

"I'm doing her a favour, FireHeart," TigerClaw spat, "she would have a better life with me!"

FireHeart lunges at the tabby as the rest of the patrol attacked the rouges. Fortunately, a RiverClan patrol arrived to aid them. You stayed in the exact spot, unmoving and surprisingly not injured. As soon as the rouges and TigerClaw were gone, everyone turned their attention on you. "Are you ok, Y/W/N?" FireHeart asked.

You shook yourself back to your senses, "o-of course I'm fine, I don't see why any of you should care!" You trotted off, but you didn't get that far as you dropped to the ground and your vision faded.

~•TimeSkip•~

You flickered your eyes open, looking around you saw that you were in the medicine cat den. Yellowfang was sorting herbs with CinderPelt, the old grey she-cat turned around and greeted you. "Morning Y/W/N, how are you?"

You stared outside for a moment before responding, "just a bit dizzy, what happened?" CinderPelt sighed and sat beside you.

"Well you were in shock after you apparently talked to TigerClaw." Then you remembered, how you saw RunningWind's body near the thunder path and TigerClaw killed him.

"O-Oh yeah, I remember..." you muttered.

"Why were you talking to TigerClaw?" YellowFang asked as she kept sorting her herbs.

"He said that ThunderClan was weak and I should join him," you mewed.

CinderPelt rolled her eyes, "yeah as if he is strong with his small group of rouges against us."

You laughed quietly and rested your head on your paws, you were about to fall back asleep until FireHeart entered the den. "Y/W/N, BlueStar wants to see you."

You drowsily lifted yourself up and padded out of the medicine cat den. As you walked towards the leader's den, many cats looked over at you, whispering.

When you got to BlueStar's den, she was just staring at the wall, you cleared your throat, "BlueStar I'm h-hear." She turned her head towards you.

"Are you on TigerClaw's side...?" She muttered, you flattened your ears.

"N-no of course not!" BlueStar crouched as she walked closer to you.

"I heard that you were talking to him near the Thunder-path!" She spat.

You quivered in fear, "n-no I rush out to see what happened at the Thunder-path and when I got their RunningWind was dead, TigerClaw came up to me a-and said that I should join him, he said that ThunderClan was weak..."

BlueStar glared at you with suspicion, "well, you can go now." As you left the den, FireHeart padded in as you overheard what BlueStar told him, "keep an eye on her, I can't believe that I can't trust my former apprentice now."

You flattened your ears in Shame, now every cat would think your a traitor. You decided to eat, so you took a small vole and went to sit alone near the entrance of camp. As you ate everyone just stared at you, not asking if you were ok or asking if you want to join them. They just watched you and muttered things.

However you felt someone nudge you, looking up you saw DappleTail, "how about you sit with us dear?" You nodded and followed her to the Elders den. You sat quietly whilst all of the Elders talked.

"We heard what happened with TigerClaw, apparently you were talking to him at the Thunder-path." SmallEar mewed.

You sighed, PatchPelt then butted in, "of course we don't believe that, if he ask you to join him and seeing that your here, then of course you refused."

The other elders nodded, "TigerClaw never learns does he? Maybe his kits might have the same blood thirsty instinct as him.

Your ears shot up, "you don't really know, maybe they will be nice as their mother."

The days were passing by and the weather became unbearable, and of course you still weren't trusted. You were asleep one night in the Warriors den, however shrieks if alarm woke you up, as well as the smell of smoke. Quickly, you woke up to find the camp on fire, you quickly ran out along with the other warriors, apprentices, queens and Elders.

"Do we have everyone?" FireHeart called, everyone nodded, but of course not everything is great.

"Halftail and PatchPelt are missing!" SmallEar called.

"BrambleKit isn't hear either!" GoldenFlower worried.

"I'll go look for them," FireHeart mewed.

You stud up, "I'll go as well!" You called, FireHeart stared at you, surprised. CinderPelt also said she would go however Yellowfang insisted that she should go instead, with that you, FireHeart and YellowFang went back into camp to find the missing cats.

You heard coughing from the Elders den and Saw PatchPelt, "I'm hear to get you out, don't worry." He nodded weakly as you guided him out of camp and to the other's. You ran back into camp to try and find the other cats.

You saw BrambleKit hanging for dear life on a nearby tree, however you saw FireHeart leap up to get him, you frantically looked around for Halftail and Yellowfang, only to see them get covered up in flames. You tried to exit camp, but a tree fell, almost crushing you.

You coughed, trying to find an exit. You thought it was the end of you before something picked you up by the scruff and carried you out of camp. As you were placed on the ground you looked up to see a pair of amber eyes looking at you before fleeing. Lifting yourself up and joined back up with the others as they were crossing the river, and hearing the news that PatchPelt died shortly after you saved him.

As you stared at the camp, being engulfed in flames, it started to rain heavily. Every cat sat by sunning rock, drenched in rain. CinderPelt stayed by your side as your throat was rasp and sore.

"What happened?" A new voice called, you with everyone else turned to see CrookedStar along with other RiverClan cats staring at the ThunderClan cats. They saw the smoke over ThunderClan's territory, "how about you come to our clan?" BlueStar was suspicious at first but agreed for the help and you and the others followed them to RiverClan.

As you arrived CinderPelt immediately went over to see were the Medicine cat was, she then came back to you with a clump of moss lathered in honey, "CinderPelt you shouldn't have," you croaked, however CinderPelt shook her head.

"You need it Y/W/N I don't want another death from the fire." You lapped up the honey, your throat already feeling better. "I don't think the herbs would of made it," CinderPelt lowered her head, "or Yellowfang."

You shook your head, "maybe YellowFang found a way out? And if you want to I'll help you get more herbs if there gone." CinderPelt smiled happily.

"Thank you Y/W/N, I couldn't thank you enough!"

You yawned and quickly fell asleep under a small tree, but you kept wondering... who was the one who saved you from the fire?
