Told ya I would update soon for this story. :D

Nightfang

Chapter 2: Captured

Sharing a quick look with Stonepaw, Nightpaw ran across the Old Thunderpath to the Abandoned Twoleg nest. The closer she got, the slower she ran so the cats wouldn't hear her. She walked up to the entrance and pressed her ear to the wall.

"Nightpaw!" Stonepaw whispered behind her. "Who's in th-"

"Sh!" Nightpaw hushed her brother, sending a glare his way. She put her ear back up to the wall and listened to the conversation the unknown cats were having.

"Now, tell me again what happened?" a deep voice said form the inside.

"Like I said," another stated, "we were coming to meet here ahead of time when four other cats came to up to us. They told us that we were in- uh what was the name…? Uh thounder? No, Bumble… Oh! Thunderclan territory I think… Anyway, they told us to leave and, considering it was 3 to 4, we left. There's probably more cats then just them." Nightpaw knew he was talking about the border patrol form earlier that day.

"Well, there can't be as many as our group I got together," the same deep voice said. Nightpaw figured this was the leader. "Tomorrow we will attack like we always do to show we are superior. Then we can move on."

Nightpaw flinched back as screams of agreement followed his words. She couldn't tell how many, but there was defiantly lots of rouges behind that wall. The she-cat turned to her brother. "We have to tell Snowstar!" she yelled in a whispered voice. "There's a bunch of rouges in there. They're going to attack tomorrow!" With that, the siblings ran towards the forest, Nightpaw falling in behind. She heard a sound coming from behind and stopped in her tracks, her brother already in the shelter of the trees.

She looked around, not seeing anything. Curious, she slowly walked towards the Old Thunderpath. She looked to the left for any signs of the noise. "Nightpaw!" She spun around to see her brother's head sticking out of the forest. "Come on! What are you doing?"

Nightpaw looked back at the Thunderpath. "I heard something. I'm just checking." Nightpaw looked around the path. Lights lit the Thunderpath up soon after and she turned to see a large, white monster staring at her. A Twoleg just stepping out, a weird stick with a loop at the end in his paws.

She turned towards the trees and stared to run. Before she could get far, the paws of the Twoleg wrapped around her stomach. Nightpaw struggled in the grasp, trying to get free. She scratched it's paw and was dropped instantly. "Stonepaw, run!" she screamed as she ran towards the trees.

Stonepaw watched in horror as the Twoleg dropped his sister. He waited until she was only a few tail lengths from him before turning and running. Before he got far, he heard a yowl of pain from behind him. He turned around and his mouth fell open.

Nightpaw just had a paw in the tree line when she felt something tighten around her neck. She turned to see the loop of the stick around her neck and the Twoleg pulling her away. She turned to her brother and screamed, "Stonepaw! Go to Snowstar!"

"What!?" he yelled back. "I'm not going to leave you! Not like this!"

Nightpaw struggled against the restraint; it was no use. "Just go! I'll be fine! I promise! Besides, what good will it do if he got you too! I'll come back! I-I promise…"

Stonepaw watched helplessly as Nightpaw was lifted in the air by the stick. He looked between the forest and his sister before sinking back into the shadows.

Nightpaw was shoved into a silver wired box and practically thrown into the back of the monster. The last thing she heard before the back closed was her brother screaming her name.

X.X.X.X.X

Stonepaw ran back to the camp, ignoring the questions yelled by the morning patrol. Without even asking to enter, he barged into Snowstar's den.

"Snowstar!" he yelled, letting tears fall freely.

"Stonepaw?" a voice sounded from the darkness. "What happened? Why are you so upset?"

Stonepaw stopped to take a breath, water still dripping down his face. "I messed up big time!" he finally said. "I couldn't sleep, we went out, there was talking, and-and, it took her!" Stonepaw lied down and buried his face into his paws.

Snowstar stood up and padded up to the frightened apprentice. "Slow down, Stonepaw. Now, tell me what happened." She said in a gentle tone.

Stonepaw took a few deep breaths to calm down. A rustle sounded from the front of the den. The two cats looked over to see Lionclaw walk into the den.

"Stonepaw!" he said. "Why didn't you answer me?" When Stonepaw ran into the camp, Lionclaw was the first to ask why he was out. Lionclaw's tone lightened when he realized his son was upset. "What happened?"

Stonepaw took another breath before explaining. "I woke up last night and couldn't go back to sleep," he said between shaky breaths. "I woke Nightpaw up and asked if she wanted to go for a walk. We were by the Abandoned Twoleg Nest when we heard talking coming from inside. Nightpaw listened in and said there were lots of rouges planning to attack today. We started running back when I realized she stopped. She said she heard something and was looking around." The grey tom started to stumble over his words at this point. "A m-monster came up and a-a T-Twoleg picked her up. She got away from it a-and told me to r-run. It h-had some stick thing with a loop at the end. I-It wrapped the l-loop around her neck and sh-she told me to come here. It p-put her in the m-monster and they went away. Th-The last thing she said w-was she'd s-see m-me again." He put his head back in his paws and started to shake. "I didn't help her! I could have done something! But I just sat back and watched!"

Snowstar put her tail on his shoulders. "Stonepaw," she whispered, "you wouldn't have been able to. You did the right thing. I'm sorry."

Lionclaw just stood there. He knew he should say something, but didn't know what. He was shocked. He didn't expect this to happen. He bowed his head and let a tear fall. After a while, he finally said, "It's okay Stonepaw. She'll come back. Knowing Nightpaw, she wouldn't give up so easily."

Snowstar started to walk towards the entrance. When she reached it, she called out to the clan. "All cats old enough to catch their own prey, gather around the High Rock for a clan meeting!"

Snowstar, Stonepaw and Lionclaw stood on top of the High Rock as all the cats gathered around. As soon as everyone was there, Snowstar spoke up. "Last night, Stonepaw and Nightpaw found a large group of rouges in the Abandoned Twoleg's Nest. They are planning on attacking today. I want every cat to be ready."

"Where's Nightpaw then?"

All the cats turned around. Rosepaw was staring up at the High Rock, a smirk clear on her face. Many cats murmured their agreements before she continued. "Is she too shy to address the clan?"

Snowstar opened her mouth to say something, but Stonepaw jumped from the High Rock and was marching through the crowd. "You wouldn't care now would you!?" he yelled at her as he walked, cats parting out of the angry tom's way. "She finds out something you didn't and you get all sassy mouth with it!" By now he was face to face with Rosepaw, but she wouldn't back down.

"I'm just curious where your little sister is," she said with fake concern. "If she also found this out, then why isn't she here?"

As soon as she finished her sentence, Stonepaw didn't waste a second to spit out the answer. "She was taken by a Twoleg!" Every cat in the crowd gasped, even Rosepaw, who lost her know-it-all attitude. "She listened in to the rouges conversation, was running to the camp with me, and a freaking Twoleg took her!" Rosepaw started to back away, but Stonepaw would take a step forward every time she took a step back. "But you wouldn't care, now would you? All you care about is yourself! Tell me! What did we ever even do to you!? Ever since you met us, you've been a big jerk! What did we do, you-you," he tried to find the right words to show his anger. "Kittypet!"

Rosepaw started to shrink under his gaze, eyes wide in shock and fear. After a few moments, Stonepaw walked away with a "Hmph," leaving everyone shell-shocked.

X.X.X.X.X

Nightpaw lied down in her wired cage, the day's events flowing through her mind. The Twoleg had carried her into a large Twoleg Nest, the location was unknown to her. If she were to escape, she wouldn't know where to go.

'I hope they can handle all the rouges' she thought.

It was very dark in the den she was in, but from the sounds of snoring around her, she knew the den was filled with other animals.

'I will come back, Stonepaw. Someday.'

'I promise'

Oh my God (Becky XP) . I've been waiting to write this chapter ever since I got this idea. Though admittedly, I didn't plan the fight between Stonepaw and Rosepaw. THAT just popped in my head during the Clan Meeting thing. Though I'm VERY glad I did it! :D Please review, follow, favorite, share with other friends, and did I mention review? :D
