The large shape crouched in the shadows, waiting. His amber eyes fixed ahead to the Thunderpath, monster after monster zooming along the gravelly black road with a bright white strip in the middle. Where was that she-cat? He had told her to come. She would lose all her lives on the ravaging thunderpath, and it would look like an accident. Suddenly, a little grey shape raced out to the black mass, a monster coming straight for her. Suddenly, a bright ginger shape tackled her, pushing her to the middle of the road, the two huddling close together. The tabby could hear their voices, somewhat far away, the ginger tom scolding the not much younger she-cat.
"Cinderpaw, what were you thinking?" the ginger cat demanded to the littler one, carefully leading her off the sea of gravel. The tabby frowned with frustration, leaping from the bushes.
"What are you doing here, kittypet? Where's Bluestar?" Fireheart growled angrily
"Be quiet Tigerclaw, I know your plan!" Tigerclaw sneered. As if this kittypet would ever know what he thought. "You wanted Bluestar to get run over so you would be leader! Well, I won't let it happen! I know how evil you are, Tigerclaw, and I will stop you myself if needed!" The tabby chuckled
"Fireheart, no one will ever believe a little kittypet like you. They all believe their big, strong deputy is sent from Starclan. Pfff, Starclan. It's not even real, you spineless idiots!" Suddenly, a regal silver-blue she-cat stepped from the shadows, blue eyes fixed intently on the towering deputy.
"Is that really what you think, Tigerclaw? Well, no need for that in my clan. I deem you, Tigerclaw, exiled from the great Thunderclan. Our new deputy will be Fireheart, and I am sure he was sent from Starclan as a big, strong deputy as well." The silvery-blue she-cat then turned to the small grey apprentice, quietly murmuring
"Cinderpaw, go back to the camp, and tell… Go get Longtail, Mousefur, Whitestorm and Greystripe to go warn the other clans of Tigerheart. He is not to be seen in this forest again." The fluffy grey she-cat nodded slightly, darting off with impressive speed.
"As for you, Tigrerclaw" murmured Bluestar "Goodbye. You are exiled. You will be killed if found on our territory" The big tabby bristled angrily, and then shook his head. "I will not leave." He said proudly. At that moment, Bluestar blinked before her and Fireheart leaping at him, digging their claws into the tom. Long scars appeared on the tom, and Tigerclaw pulled away, hissing and spitting.
"Alright then! I'll find somewhere else and I'll show you! I'll kill you all someday" growled Tigerstar, turning his tail and leaving, tabby fur visibly bristled. Bluestar nodded satisfactorily, looking at the warrior, Fireheart "Well done, Fireheart. Let's go see how Cinderpaw did reporting to the warriors." Fireheart nodded, the two cats setting off towards camp.
