Warriors: The New Prophecy #6: Sunset

Awesome book i love Erin hunters books

" Come on, my loves." Sunsetsplash meowed over her shoulder, climbing over tree stumps. " I wanted to show you something."
Sunsetsplash had rounded up her kits — Stormpaw, Leafpaw, and Shadowpaw — and was taking them to the place their father died. They were so big now, almost the same size as her . . . Stormpaw looked as though he'd be larger than Sunsetsplash, when he was fully grown! Certainly larger than his sisters. She led them into the clearing, and Sunsetsplash felt something stir her pelt, as a comforting scent wreathed around hers. Smokecloud. He had come to see his kits.
" Wow! This place is so pretty!" Leafpaw exclaimed, patting her paws against the bright green grass. " Look at all the flowers," Shadowpaw pointed out, sniffing a little daisy. " I bet this place would be good for fighting!" Stormpaw meowed, doing one of the battle moves he learned recently — rear up, spin, and slash — and promptly fell on his face. Sunsetsplash purred, but she had winced at his words. She helped him up, earning herself a grumpy sniff from the tabby, and steered the apprentices towards the spot where Smokecloud had fallen. Sunsetsplash was pleased to see the blood had washed away, finally.
" Can you guys tell me why this place is important?" She prompted sadly.
Leafpaw's eyes widened in shock, Shadowpaw stayed silent, apparently deep in thought, while Stormpaw looked uncomfortable.
" It's . . . It's where our father died, isn't it?" Stormpaw meowed quietly. Leafpaw and Shadowpaw both looked at him in shock, and their eyes fell on Sunsetsplash, as though hoping she'd say he was wrong.
" You are right, Stormpaw. This is where Smokecloud was murdered, right in front of me. He saved me, you know — and you three, because I had been with you for not a moon before he died." Sunsetsplash sighed. " We always imagined the life we would have, once you were born, but it was never meant to be. . . He's in StarClan, now. Watching over us."
The three young cats looked subdued. Finally, Leafpaw mewed, " What happened?"
Sunsetsplash told them the story of his death, leaving out Dark Shadow. She didn't want them to hold a grudge against the tom, even though. . . Even if he wanted to kill Sunsetsplash.
" Who killed him?" Shadowpaw asked. Sunsetsplash frowned at her keen, precocious daughter. She hesitated, debating whether to tell them or not.
• Tell them. They deserve to know, • Smokecloud whispered into her ear. Sunsetsplash sighed. • Fine, I will, • she thought back, hoping he would hear.
" The cat who killed him was Dark Shadow —"
" The ShadowClan cat!" They all said in unison. " The one who got exiled!" Stormpaw added, his eyes wide.
Sunsetsplash nodded. " Yes, that's him. That's Dark Shadow, and he . . . he's the shadow on every cat's sun."

Closer to the end, now! The next chapters will be in the novella sets! If you go to the Hollyleaf book, and go to the first novella set in that series, that's where the chapter will be.
