Sorry for the short chapter, guys. Chapter 4 should be longer.
Chapter 3
Tigerstar's P.O.V.:
Everything was going perfectly. I watched with shrewd, all-seeing eyes as my Clan of sorts trained. I was using the Clan's greatest strength and twisting it into their weakness. I was taking some of their strongest warriors and slowly turning their loyalties to me and away from their Clans. The warriors, of course, had weaknesses, but I was already well-aware of this. Their weaknesses were turned into advantages. My plan was perfect. There were only a few cats that could ruin it for me. With that my slight pride vanished into more bitterness. Luckily for me, I had more than one trick to get them out of my fur, or at least enough so that they wouldn't be too much of a challenge.
For one, I had Ivypool. I knew how much Dovewing relied on her, trusted her…and in vain. Ivypool was playing the part well, I knew. Then again, I could never really trust any of them. If they could betray their own Clans, they could betray me, but I considered it highly unlikely. The bitterness we had built up in them against their own homes was working the plan for us.
And then, there was Dovewing. She was one of the Three- the only cats that could possibly pose a threat to me. If I could break them, the battle would be practically won. Once again, weakness came to my aid. I knew Dovewing's weakness, and I knew how to break her. Yes, I thought in satisfaction. Things were going rather smoothly.
