This is my first story and I thank billybob579 for helping me. R&R
The sun was barely hitting the horizon as Arrowhead woke up. He made his way to the entrance of the warriors den when he noticed that almost every cat was awake. Wolfpelt was already getting patrols ready. As he started walking away from the den's entrance he spotted his rival Lightheart talking with Scratchclaw. I wonder what they're talking about, time to find out. He slyly made his way over to them, making sure they didn't spot him.
"You should leave this camp for good! You're the son of rogue!" Arrowhead silently agreed with Scratchclaw.
"I can't help it that my father was a rogue. If I could have it my way, I would be born a clan cat." I didn't know he hated that his father was a rogue, Arrowhead thought. I guess I have to give Lightheart another chance to prove himself.
"That can't be helped."
"Yes it can, I have proved my loyalty to Echoclan. I have learned the Warrior Code. I might be part rogue, but I am a warrior." Lightheart stalked off leaving Scratchclaw and Arrowhead amazed that Lightpelt just beat Scratchclaw. I better apologize for criticizing Lightheart. Arrowhead made sure that he avoided Scratchclaw before he came out from hiding.
"Lightheart! Wait up!"
"Great," Lightheart mumbled under his breath. "What do you want?"
"I know we have had out quarrels in the past, but I want to say I'm sorry."
Lightheart's expression told him he couldn't believe what he just heard. "Why? What are you sorry for?"
"I'm sorry for the way I have treated you in the past. I am sorry for calling you part rogue. I am sorry for accusing you of things you haven't done. "
Lightheart tried to understand what was happening. "Why are you apologizing to me? We have hated each other ever since I can remember."
"Would an 'I'm sorry for eves dropping on your conversation with Scratchclaw' help?" Just accept the apology so we can be friends already.
"So that's why. Fine. I'm sorry for all mean things I have said about you as well." He didn't sound sorry.
"Lightheart! Arrowhead!" That was Wolfpelt calling from the other side of camp. "You two are going with Thundertail and Calmpaw to the mountain border."
"Lets go already!" Calmpaw said as the new "friends" padded up to them.
Thundertail added, "Come on, we better hurry. Calmpaw is eager."
The mountain border was quiet except for a stale fox scent. Since they got done early, they decided to hunt. The patrol went back with a vole, a black bird and two squirrels. Their patrol was the first back. Froststar and Wolfpelt were heading to the Froststar's den in the very back of the clearing. Arrowhead saw Wolfpelt glance up to the mountain behind their camp. Some of the other patrols were coming into the camp now with a worried expression. "What's going on?" no one answered Thundertail. He was worried now when all the patrols showed up now with the same expression. "What is it? What is going?"
Spottedfur answered, "Rogue scents, everywhere on the borders. There are too many for them to be passing through."
"Do you know why they're here?"
"No. We have to tell Froststar." Spottedfur looked around the clearing filled with confused cat.
"She is in her den with Wolfpelt. Come on, lets –" He was cut off by an earsplitting yowl coming from Froststars den. As all the cats rushed over to her den, Wolfpelt came out with blood stained on his paws. He jumped up on the rock pile next to Froststar's den.
"Cats of Echoclan," he began. "I have news that Froststar has died."
"You mean you killed her!" Stripeclaw hissed. I have never seen Stripeclaw so angry.
"He did not kill her." Shadow step countered while jumping up beside Wolfpelt. She's defending the murderer! Everyone knows Wolfpelt killed her!"
"You murderer!" Some cat yelled behind them. At that moment, rogues poured through the entrance, outnumbering, and encircling the warriors. At that moment, the clan cats new exactly what was going on. Wolfpelt had planned this attack.
"Does anyone want to object? If so stay here, if not go to your dens." Only two warriors and three apprentices left. "The ones that are in their dens made the right decision. I'm going to break the rest of you. Rogues," Wolfpelt rose his voice so it could be heard throughout the forest. "Attack!" Echoclan was outnumbered. As rogues and warriors clashed, Arrowhead looked up Wolfpelt. He is just watching!
The next two moons were hard on the warriors that fought, but more hard on Threeleg, who had to heal them. The warrior cats lost and surrendered to Wolfstar, the new leader of Echoclan. No cat really welcomed him as the new leader accept the rogues and Shadowstep. Slowtail was the only cat that died during the battle. That battle was only used to strike fear into us. It worked, almost every cat is scared just to look at him. Even his own rogues are afraid of him.
Arrowhead and Lightheart were planning on escaping. They wathced carefully at the cats who guarded the entrance and who went out hunting. The Echoclan cats were not allowed to leave camp. "Arrowhead, we need to get out of here. Wolfstar has officially gone mad."
"I don't disagree with you, Lightheart, but are we-"
"No! You have gone too far Wolfstar!" There was no mistaking that voice. Calmpaw just stood up to Wolfstar!
"No one talks to me like that! I will not show mercy even to an apprentice!" by now the whole clan was in the clearing watching this. Wolfstar lunged and pinned Calmpaw down. With one paw on his throat, Wolfstar ripped it open. No one did anything. They were too afraid of him. everyone watched as Calmpaw died right in front of them. Wolfstar stalked back to Froststars den.
Calmpaw! "OK. Your right Lightheart. We have to go. We have to fight back. But how?"
"One step at a time. First we have to get out of here. Lets go now while everyone is focused on Calmpaw." As they cautiously left, they dodged the entrance guards and were leaving. I promise Calmpaw, we will avenge you.
As they neared the border, they were planning on where they were going. "Hey! What are you two doing this far from camp?" Lightheart and Arrowhead both spun around with claws unsheathed and fur bristling.
"Thundertail! Don't do that!" Arrowhead hissed.
"Besides what we are doing has nothing to do with you." Lightheart began but was surprised to see that Lilypaw was with him. "What are you two doing?" Lightheart countered.
"Lilypaw and I are leaving. We've had it with Wolfstar. He is a tyrant. What he did to Calmpaw is unforgiveable."
Lilypaw stepped up and said what they were all thinking. "All of us want revenge on him. If we want to take Wolfstar out, we have to work together. For now, we should leave." Everyone nodded and were thinking of ways to get rid of Wolfstar for the next two days.
They thought of every way they could get to Wolfstar with just the four of them. They decided they needed help. They wanted to take Wolfstar head on. "I know what we have to do. But it is going to be harder than taking on a fox with all paws tied." Arrowhead said. "We need an army of well trained cats." Wofstar wanted power, he better know how to use it.
