Bluestar's Prophecy/Chapter 34

==Chapter description==
:Sunstar announces that they were going to take back Sunningrocks. Adderfang, Stormtail and Tigerclaw are enthusiastic about claiming their land once again. Bluefur guesses that Tigerclaw was interested in the battle rather then Sunningrocks. When Sparrowpelt asks when they are going to fight, Sunstar replies that he wants to try to win it without a fight. Robinwing, Thistleclaw and Sparrowpelt are doubtful that RiverClan would give it up if they just asked.
:The ThunderClan leader asks why they should risk to fight even they don't have to, stating they have some of the most skilled warriors in the forest. The tom says they should presuade them that giving up the rocks are the best for both Clans. Bluefur's father correctly guesses that they were going to send an patrol to their camp. Sunstar says they will tell them that any RiverClan cat that ventures onto it would be shredded. Dappletail argues it will be suicide, while Tigerclaw and Adderfang approve of the plan. Thistleclaw adds that ThunderClan will be even more feared when the other Clans find out RiverClan had given up Sunningrocks without a fight.
:Sunstar decides to bring Featherwhisker, Tawnyspots, Lionheart, Whitestorm, Thrushpelt, Adderfang, Stormtail and Bluefur with him. When Thistleclaw is surprised that he isn't coming, Bluefur is satisfied that their patrol would appear more safe and fair. They set out into the rain. Sunstar leads the way across the stepping stones. Bluefur stops at the side of the river, thinking about Goosefetaher's prophecy. She is fearful of the water, but crosses it, leaping onto shore, panting. Thrushpelt says it is easy, to which Bluefur disagrees to, and she marches away
:RiverClan warriors are blocking their path, and Bluefur recognizes Crookedjaw leading it. Sunstar states they wanted to speak with Hailstar. Though they are questioned by Ottersplash and Crookedjaw, they manage to get permission from them to enter RiverClan camp. The patrol follows Crookedjaw through the reeds, until they suddenly make a turn and find themselves in their camp. Lionheart asks why they lived in such uncomfortable looking nests, to which Crookedjaw replies they float. Lilystem and a small gray kit appear from the nursery. Timberfur and Owlfur prowl around the camp warily.
:Hailstar appears with Crookedjaw at his side. Sunstar meows that they wre taking back Sunningrocks, and adds that they would fight if needed, but thought that they might as well give RiverClan a fair warning. Timberfur steps forward, asking if they were threatening them, looking pointedly at the RiverClan cats surrounding them. Sunstar calmly replies that they were giving a choice - stay off, or be shredded. He goes on to list how RiverClan couldn't hunt there, repeating whether it was worth fighting for. Hailstar hissed of they expected RiverClan to give it up. Sunstar states that he expected them to fight, though it would be a waste of blood, as they would lose. Hailstar states that RiverClan fight with claws. and Sunstar nods, raising his voice. The tom yowls that Sunningrocks was ThunderClan's, and any RiverClan cat that stepped farther than the border stood would be shredded. They leave.
:Bluefur is impressed by her leader's tact - he'd openly dared them to fight, yet made it seem like their choice. All they could do now was see RiverClan's reaction when they set the border. The patrol spins around when they hear RiverClan cats, but it turns out to be Timberfur, Owlfur and Ottersplash that had been ordered to escort them. Oakheart tags onto the escort, and at one point of their journey, he hisses to Bluefur that they must talk, and tells her to make a excuse. 
:She pretends to limp, complaining of a thorn in her paw. Oakheart decides to help her, and when the patrol is gone, Oakheart faces Bluefur, stating they needed to talk. Bluefur is mystified, and Oakheart blurts out that he couldn't stop thinking about her since last leaf-bare at the river. Oakheart insists that he wanted to know everything about her, and Bluefur realizes that Oakheart is in love with her, gasping they couldn't do it. Oakheart shakes his head, and asks her to meet him tomorrow at moonhigh at Fourtrees, begging her to give him a chance. Thrushpelt and Ottersplash appear, asking if she was good or not. Bluefur hurries to Thrushpelt's side, and when asked, states the thorn was out, and she was fine. As she crossed the stepping-stones, she feels Oakheart watching her.
