Thus ends da battle for da warheads
Rasping breaths could be heard from the medicine cat's den as Coalpelt and Budspot tried to breath. Daypaw couldn't stand the noise and thus went outside of the camp to hunt. He passed a tight area of bushes which brushed against his tabby orange fur giving him a few scratches but the young apprentice was used to it.
He stopped in his tracks at the smell of mouse and crouched down as far as he could and lifted his weight into his haunch. (AN. I like doing that, it works!)
The mouse rustled in the leaves on the forest ground already lit up with red orange and yellow leaves. (AN. This sentence gave me an idea for a name… Rustlepaw or Rustleheart, ta!) It dug a tiny hole under a leaf to search for food but no prevail. It jerked its head up and sniffed the air, its heart started racing.
Daypaw moaned in his head; the mouse probably heard him. Although Daypaw could not recall even hearing himself… the mouse bounded as fast as it could in the sideways direction.
The wind made a gust blow in his face, Daypaw's eyes widened with horror. He then bolted backwards as he was chased by a red and white tailed creature (u better know wat it is).
The apprentice's chase made him turn the other way, towards the thunderpath, and Shadowclan territory (bum bum bu bum). Daypaw ran not knowing where he was going, he didn't know the size of the fox but guessed it was large for one to be chasing an apprentice his size. He jumped over a fallen log and cut his ear from a low branch. He didn't dare stop though or he could face serious injuries or even death.
The thunderpath came into view but Daypaw did not stop since the fox did not. Daypaw felt lucky on how he was unusually speedy otherwise he would be probably be dead. Daypaw passed over the thunderpath and luckily enough, no monsters came. Daypaw managed to look back to see the fox come to a halt on the other side of the thunderpath, it snorted and turned around, back into the forest.
He suddenly ran into something and nearly knocked it over itself.
"Hey, watch it runt!" a fiery young warrior said. Daypaw stared in shock of her; he didn't know what she was because she didn't look like a normal cat. She had puffs on the tip of each ears and a tail like a dog's. She had fiery colors, orange, black and yellow. An orange stripe went down her spine and all the way to the end of her tail, and yellow dips seemed to be painted on the end of her paws and the rest of her was black. She stood glaring at him, her blue eyes piercing him with threat, yet he wasn't afraid, she stood as if waiting for an answer. Daypaw opened his mouth to say something but all he could manage was "hi."
The warrior's expression changed to an almost amused tone but then worry flickered in her deep eyes. "You shouldn't be here; you're not from Shadowclan!" A shiver ran through her back as if she was afraid to say the name, this made Daypaw curious. Suddenly a rustle went through the bushes and Daypaw's new acquaintance bent low to the ground in fear, her ears flat on her head and her tail puffed. Out of the bushes two warriors stepped through, one pitch black with one white paw and one white with orange paws and stomach.
"Seedear! (Seed-ear, not See-dear) What are you doing out here, Ivorystar's gonna be furious!" The orange and white one hissed out, but the other's gaze fell on Daypaw, but it didn't react at all. The black and white cat then looked over at Seedear and did a half hearted hiss. Daypaw knew the cat didn't mean the hiss, but he felt uneasy with these cats. The orange/white one paid no attention to him at all and Daypaw really wanted to know why. Seedear meekly shuddered over to the other cats, her fieriness was gone completely. The white and orange cat snorted with satisfactory, but the other hesitated and stared back at Daypaw.
"Creamfoot! Get over here!" The other yelled over his shoulder to Creamfoot who still stared at Daypaw in thought.
"Umm… comin Rustleheart!" (Ta!) Creamfoot came to her senses and bounded up to Rustleheart. Daypaw watched as the three cats disappeared into the marsh. 'I have to follow them; I am determined to find out the reason for her being afraid of her own clan.'
Daypaw went into action; he bounded to a tree, to the next and so on.
Daypaw's paws were covered in mud and he noticed how far he was from his own camp. He felt an urge to head back, but he would not allow himself after going this far, he had to get an answer to all his questions.
Daypaw put a paw through some tall grass and stumbled into a hole at the back of a cave. He was horrified, if anyone found him here he would surely bring war to the clans or be killed, but instead only one cat lay in the cave, it had the signs of two cats ever being in it, but only one was in. The cat before him was a tired looking creature which had calico fur without white.
Suddenly there was a noise outside of the den, the sound of three approaching cats. Daypaw looked around franticly for a place to hide or get out. He then spotted the hole he had come in through. He scrambled as fast as he could towards and out of it he then ran up the hill he came down just in case they came to the back of the cave. He then smelled Seedear's fear scent as she was put into the cave. Daypaw was worried like crazy. 'What are they doing to her?!'
Rustleheart left Creamfoot to do whatever she wanted really and to Ivorystar's den. He meowed at the entry way and another meow greeted him also telling him to come in.
"So, what is it Rustleheart?" Ivorystar had white fur with a somewhat scratched right eye.
"Umm, Seedear tried to get out again." Rustleheart replied trying to sound mature but the 'umm' didn't help. Ivorystar looked annoyed at the news.
"Punish her." He simply said. Fear swelled in Rustleheart's eyes, it grew visible now and Ivorystar knew what he was thinking. "Yes, you."
Rustleheart froze with sadness, he had never done it before and never wanted to, it was cruel. He looked protestantly into Ivorystar's eyes, but the look the leader gave him silenced him with major depression. Ivorystar dismissed him to Seedear's cave.
Rustleheart slowly walked, his ears flat, his tail hanging, and his head down with sadness. When he came into the cave Seedear dared not meet his eyes. He walked up to be in front of the tired cat.
"I'm sorry, Vinepierce." He said sorrowful. He lifted one paw in a threatening pose; Seedear dared look and burst with tears (one of her talents).
"Please, Rustleheart! Don't!" She pleaded. Rustleheart closed his eyes and looked away as the elder cat tried to be strong in what was about to happen. Rustleheart did a quarter hearted blow on the elder cat's chest but it did damage. Seedear burst with tears flowing down. Rustleheart couldn't stand it; he bolted out of the cave, he felt hated everywhere. It was true, he didn't have to hurt Vinepierce, and he could have even helped Seedear escape, but he knew he wouldn't enjoy death.
Daypaw smelled the blood in the cave and scurried down the hill to see what happened, but he smelled cats coming in a bunch and ran back up the hill.
Most of the clan was in front of the cave, they then walked over to the side and all of them together pushed a large rock, one not able to be jumped over, in front of the cave so no one could get out.
"Now she won't get out." One said resting from the push.
"I hear that there's a hole in the back of the cave, we'll have to block that one up." Another said, his green eyes gazing at the back of the cave. The two cats then headed to the back of the cave, not bothering to smell the air. They grabbed two rocks and pushed them to the hole.
"Now she won't get out." The second one said. The other nodded, his hazel eyes glaring at the rocks and his friend's black fur. He felt regretful and wished that his friend did too, but his friend was ambitious and was poisoned by Ivorystar's words. He nodded again and followed his friend to the fresh kill pile.
"Are you that hungry, Dusktail?" The black one asked as his friend already ate three mice and wanted more. "Who knows? You'll probably eat the whole pile before you're full."
Dusktail ate out of guilt, not hunger, well, the guilt made him hungry. "I guess I have eaten too much, Darkhollow." Just then Creamfoot passed by and Dusktail lost his hunger, and stared at her.
"Dream on lover boy." Darkhollow said calmly. "She's way out of your league."
"And why is that, we're both the same age."
"I mean she's mine." Darkhollow answered.
"Since when did you like her?" Dusktail panicked. If they both liked her that could lead to hatred between them.
"Since never, I was just joking, you'll get her some day." Dusktail was relieved. He then pulled up his bravery and followed her.
Daypaw (so many d names) ran back down the hill to where the hole once was. He then pushed the rocks away and entered the cave, there sat Seedear and Vinepierce. Seedear jerked her head around to see who entered and nearly jumped with surprise.
"What are you doing here!?" She asked. Vinepierce turned her head to see and turned it back around out of pain.
"I want to get an answer to all my questions." He bravely replied.
"Name your questions and I'll do my best to answer them." Her blue eyes looked and him, they were gaining their fieriness again.
"Ok, first of all, are you an omega species?"
"What made you ever think up that idea?" She retorted mockingly.
Daypaw took it as a 'yes' and went on to the next question. "Why are you trapped in this cave?" Seedear's expression changed to a bit of sadness.
"I'm put in here because Ivorystar is ambitious; he wants the most powerful clan he can get his paws on. And my talent will help him get that; I can hypnotize creatures to do what I want them to."
"Then why can't you not do it?" Daypaw said getting ideas on why.
"Because if I don't they'll kill Vinepierce! She was like a mother to me when I first came as a kit, and if I try to escape they'll hurt her like what Rustleheart did!" Seedear had tears flowing down her face again.
"But when my clan's omega species came she wasn't a kit, why were you?" Seedear silenced herself after this question was asked.
"I don't know."
This was the first question she couldn't answer to. Daypaw knew what would have to be done. "Let me help, Seedear." Yes, this could work, he was sly enough to go out of camp unseen, to go to visit his mother unseen by Sunflash or any one else for that matter.
"I want to help too." Another voice rang in from the hole in the back of the cave, it was Creamfoot.
From behind Dusktail didn't know what he was doing, but he couldn't let Creamfoot do it alone. "I'll help too."
"Thanks but I couldn't let you guys do that, you might get killed!" Seedear protested.
"Come on Seedear, I know there are more cats out there that would help." Creamfoot said reassuringly. Creamfoot stepped into the cave and Dusktail followed after her, his blue/gray fluffy tail almost sweeping the cave floor, and his tan fur blowing in the cold wind outside until he was in the warm cave. He then stared at Daypaw who was still bewildered from the volunteers.
