A Loner Revealed

The pure black tom, Night, was hungry. He was alone. He slipped out of his damp cold cave. His pile of prey was mucky. He threw it down a near-by groundhog hole and started sneaking into PoppyClan's border.


"Hazeltail, don't you think we should send out a couple of hunting patrols?" Dawnstar asked her deputy.

Hazeltail nodded and looked at the fresh-kill pile.

Dawnstar walked onto the Tall Stone. "Hunting patrols!" she yowled. "Snaketail, you can go with Hollypaw. Scorchpaw and Birchpaw, you two are old enough to go on your own. Shrewfur, Bluewhisker, and Yellowpelt, you can go on a border patrol. I'll also go with Stormpool. Dismissed."

Dawnstar went to look for the grey she-cat.

"Come on!" Dawnstar hissed. Stormpool scampered over to the leaderand the patrols all rushed out, pushing each other and trying to get with everybody they needed.

Stormpool and Dawnstar whisked out. Dawnstar suddenly smelled something. A cat. Not a clan cat. She dipped her head and followed the scent, Stormpool crouching but following the leader.

"Don't you smell it?" asked Dawnstar. Stormpool shook her head.


Night froze. He could hear rustling and crunched he ran for his den. He dove into it and hid himself in the back, where his jet-black fur blended in perfectly.

Before he knew it, his eyes saw a flame-colored she-cat and a sleek grey she-cat. The flame-colored she-cat stopped and peered inside the tiny cave.

"Loner," she whispered to the grey cat.

"What do you mean, 'loner,' Dawnstar?" asked the second cat.

"A loner is inside the cave, Stormpool. Or a rogue. That might explain why food is dissapearing. A loner revealed," said the she-cat, known as Dawnstar. "Do you even know how to use your tracking skills?"

Stormpool whimpered.

"Come on!" snapped Dawnstar. The cat jumped into the cave entrance. Her eyes dropped on to the back, where Night was hiding, his yellow eyes not perfect in the dark. He shut them tight, but he knew he was still doomed right now by Dawnstar.

"Come on!" her voice hissed. "You know, you're going to be dead right now if you don't get up right now. And no battling, or else I'll kill you."

Night got up. Stormpool and Dawnstar got behind him and they marched back into PoppyClan camp. Right into the Dawnstar's den. Dawnstar turned around.

Night was crouching. He suddenly pounced on Dawnstar. But Dawnstar was good. She hit her tail into Night's face. It was a strong move, so Night was knocked out of the air.

He blinked several times but before he knew it, Dawnstar was on him.

"I know I am not allowed to do this, but you've been stealing our prey. Die!" she hissed. She slashed at the loner's neck. Blood trickled and immediately, his strength weakened. He realized now realized why Dawnstar was so good, and hard to defeat. She was a leader.

Stormpool and Dawnstar whisked out of the den, Night bleeding. He dropped down.

A misty cat appeared. "You did not deserve this. I will destroy PoppyClan and Dawnstar for their evilness. Die slowly. The voice whispered inside Night's head. She started fading away. Night gasped and closed his eyes for the last time.


Oh, finally I completed my third challenge or one-shot, whatever. Please review!
