Chapter 2

Redtail

Riverclan cats poured over Sunningrocks, into the paws of Thunderclan cats.

"Redtail" it was Tigerclaw's voice. I looked over, he was pinned on the ground by Oakheart.

"Now Tigerclaw I will kill you" he hissed. I leaped at him holding his

squirming body firmly in my paws.

"R-Redtail" Oakheart choked out.

I slit his throat with my claw, his eyes dulled. I turned, only to be thrown

to the groung again by Tigerclaw. "Tigerclaw!" I gasped.

I tried to get up again.

"Redtail" snickered Tigerclaw. "You don't know how long i've awaited today".

"You're insane" I cried. He flexed his claws.

"Insane" he laughed. "You have a choice either let me become deputy...or die".

Die! He was going to kill me! I had to tell Bluestar.

"What will you choose" he hissed in my ear. "I-I choose" I stammered.

A twig snapped, Tigerclaw's head jerked up. He sniffed the air.

I could see the cause of the snap, Ravenpaw. The black apprentice was wide eyed with fear.

I knew Tigerclaw would kill him for sure.

"Tigerclaw!" I gasped. "I said I choose resign".

He turned his gaze back to me. "Hn, tempting but no" he laughed.

"No!" I tried to get up again. His paw came down hard on my neck.

My head jerked back, the world spun around. Then...darkness.

"Goodbye, Redtail" were the last words I heard.

I saw back in the nursery, where I was born a single red feather fell. Then came death.
