Untold lies Chapter 2: Questions and Answers

Well, it's not a lot of action, but there is some. It's more of an unraveling chapter.


The four cats traveled through the forest cautiously. Though they couldn't see the sky due to the forest canopy, they knew it was sunset. So much for getting to the thunderpath by sunset Arrowhead thought. The feeling that Arrowhead and Thundertail felt did not go away. It got stronger and stronger. Lilystorm didn't feel a thing, but Lightheart started to feel it. "What does the feeling feel like?" Lilystorm asked.

"Well," Thundertail began. "It feels like we should be cautious; but I think it's more than a feeling. I think it's a warning."

"From Starclan?" Lightheart asked, opening his mouth and scented the air. It smelled like a normal forest. He turned to Arrowhead, "Wouldn't Froststar have told you that we were going to be in danger?"

"I don't know. I don't think Froststar knows we left, or she would have chewed me out by now for leaving." Arrowhead answered.

"Well," Lilystorm began. "Looks like you get to go to Froststar than her come to you tonight."

"Or I can try that thing I did earlier when I saw the rest of the forest fly by."

"Think you can do it again?" Lightheart asked.

"I'm not sure. Worth a try though." Lightheart stepped back, along with the others. Arrowhead stared straight ahead of him. He focused and focused. Nothing happened. Arrowhead glared ahead, nothing happened. He slunk his head in defeat, "I can't do it."

"How did you do it the first time?" Thundertail asked, trying to comfort his friend.

"I don't know, I don't know." Arrowhead hissed, clearly frustrated. "It always happens when you don't expect it." He mumbled to himself.

"Well, I guess we keep going." Lightheart said. The rest of them nodded and started walking.

The clouds had passed and the moon was overhead and the four cats were tired of wandering in the forest. They rested in between two trees that were only a foxlength away. "Maybe I can ask Froststar about what happened earlier." Arrowhead suggested.

"Alright, but get some sleep tonight." Lightheart said curling up in a pile of leaves he gathered.

Arrowhead nodded, curled up, and fell asleep only to find himself being shoved to the ground and a she-cat hissing in his ear, "You flea bitten, mouse brained, mange pelt!"

Arrowhead kicked with his hind legs and pushed her away. He scrambled to his paws and looked around. He saw he was in Echocave. "Good to see you to, Froststar."

"Do you have any idea what you just did!" Froststar asked enraged. She had to dig her claws into the rocky ground to keep her from attacking.

"Other than set out onto, yet another, long journey, to find answers and kill, yet another, mad cat, then, no, I don't." He said getting ready for a fight.

"I should kill you right now! You turned your back on your clan! You left them and now Nightsign's only threat left Echoclan!"

"I did not turn my back on them!" Arrowhead yowled in fury. "I am fighting the one cat that you can't beat and I lost my kin in the process. The one cat that knows what Nightsign is after is dead! Wolfstar wanted me to find our parents, I know he was crazy, but he has his reasons!"

"If you continue onward out of the forest, you and your friends will be alone! You will be considered rogues and we will abandon you!"

"We will never become rogues! We will return-"

"No. I will end this here." Froststar launched herself at Arrowhead with blind fury. Arrowhead counter launched and they collided in the air. Arrowhead pushed Froststar away and landed perfectly while she landed on her back, her breath taken away.

"Why? Why do you want to stop me! I have fought along side you and now your trying to kill me for doing the right thing!"

"The right thing?" She gasped. "The right thing is to forget this journey and fight Nightsign!"

"You want to kill me for not fighting Nightsign your way? You think I can take him head on? I can't! He is too strong for me now, but when I find what Wolfstar wants, it should give me an idea of how to beat Nightsign."

"No!" Froststar screeched as she ran into Arrowhead. He went flying and landed on his side. Pain pulsed through his shoulder but he stood up.

"If that's the way it's going to be, then fine." Arrowhead thought of the island and he suddenly felt rock change to grass and the cave to starlit skies. Froststar was ready to attack again, but she stood where she was. Arrowhead asked, "Why? What's so important that you have to kill to keep secret? Was Wolfstar onto something? Is that why you don't want me to go?" Froststar stayed silent. "So he was onto something. Then I'm going to finish what he started."

"No, you won't." Froststar sighed. "We won't let you." As she finished thousands of ghostly cats appeared. Starclan! Arrowhead thought, amazed at how many there were.

"Why, Froststar?" Arrowhead asked.

"We can't let you. You don't know how to-" She was cut off by a large, ghostly tom with grey and white fur with a stub for a tail.

"That's enough Froststar. He doesn't need to know." He said in a powerful voice.

"Apparently I do." Arrowhead answered. "Wolfstar needs-"

"You don't need to know because you can't handle what we know."

Arrowhead looked confused. "I can't handle knowing something? Doesn't knowing something usually help in fights?"

"No, not in this fight."

"So knowing the answer is a bad thing? Why?"

"Your getting curious again. Don't go searching for it. Go back to Echoclan or become a rogue. Your choice. If you do become a rogue, and find out, we will kill you."

"No, I want an answer! Tell me why I don't need to know." The tom shook his head and started fading. Arrowhead glared at him until he was completely gone along with the rest of Starclan. He growled to himself and curled up.

The sun was coming up over the horizon and Arrowhead jumped out of his nest and stretched. He looked around and saw Lightheart and Thundertail had left and Lilystorm was still asleep. Arrowhead curled back up but didn't go to sleep. He thought and thought and came down to the decision that he was going to find out what was so important, no matter what.


There was some difficulty with this chapter. It was kinda hard to find an ending point and some other small details. But I just went with it. Hopefully I won't have any more of those troubles.
