Winterpaw trekked through the bramble, on his way to find some juniper berries for Kat. Hazel had gotten a bellyache, and word was going around in the apprentice den that Dovepaw might have something to do with it. Of course, she claimed innocence. Typical BlogClan stuff. Everyone expected Dovepaw would get back at him for the nickname 'banana mushroom popsicles', But he doubted the she cat would go that far. Yes, she got angry on occasion. But usually, it was in a playful manner. The only time Dovepaw was murderous was when someone hurt Redkit, or someone made fun of another cat. Or she was shipped. Dovepaw hated the shipping, and stayed away from it. But if Hazel did something like that, she wouldn't have poisoned him, would she?
Winter kept pondering, as he made it to the only juniper bush in the whole forest. Dovepaw sauntered up, startling the Tom. "So, Hazelburrow isn't better?"
"No."
"Shame. I was going to sneak on him, but Kat would kill me if she caught me doing that in her den."
"You didn't poison him or anything?"
" No . . ."
"And you don't know who did it?"
"No, I don't."
Dovepaw turned to walk off, when a pool of scarlet blood leaked from under the bush. "What the . . .?"
"What's wrong?"
"Bushes aren't supposed to bleed, are they?"
The apprentices looked at each other, then peered into the bush. What they saw made their hearts stop cold.
They screamed and ran off as a black cat emerged from the bushes, throat bloody, and a whole paw scarlet red.
"You saw who, exactly?" Cakestar queried.
"Scourge's ghost! We were in the forest -"
"And we peaked in this bush -"
"We saw him, then -"
"We ran back!"
Ten minutes later, the patrol Cakestar sent out came back, with nothing to report. But the two apprentices were sure of what they saw. When they were finally calm, everyone turned in, unaware of the blood filled blue eyes watching them
AN so this is my first story out here! Wooooooooo! Self congratulations aside, if you guys can review, it would be great! And please, no harsh words. And I forgot to do a disclaimer at the top, sooooooo,
I own a pair of socks monkey slippers and a nerf gun. That's all. And Dovepaw is me, BTW.
