I sat and listened eagerly as Fireheart, Yellowfang, and Dustpaw, spoke about missions they had to go on. Yellowfang told Fireheart that the message for Tigerclaw, about Bluestar being sick, had to wait because she needed catmint. Fireheart agreed and began to leave. I bounced after him, "Fireheart wait!"
Still running him I got my reply, and it didn't make me happy. "Go back to your den, Cinderpaw." I yowled, "But I could go and give Tigerclaw the message while you get the catmint." He stopped and looked at me, I lifted he head hopefully. He didn't sound happy when he spoke.
"Cinderpaw if there are any Shadowclan warriors around, you need to stay in camp." I frowned, lowering my tail and looking down at my paws. Doesn't he think I could do this? "Go back to your den." He turned back around and charged through the tunnel.
For a long time I did stay in the camp, and I brooded too. This isn't fair! I can deliver this message just fine. Besides, what good am I in camp if the Shadowclan warriors do come and attack? If that happens, we need Tigerclaw here to fight for us, with all the patrols out.
Excitement thrilled through my fur when I realized that Fireheart never told me how long I had to stay in the camp. I snuck out and raced towards Snakerocks, where the meeting place was. I was drawing near and could hear a monster in the far distance, but I'm not worried. I don't see the thunderpath yet, and monsters never come into the forest.
Tigerclaw's scent drifted into my nose and I scampered off the verge, bursting into the open. I froze when I felt the harsh, hot, thunderpath under my pads. I turned my head and my eyes stretched wide in terror. A huge, dark, monster was coming right at me.
I had no time to run. I barely jumped forward to escape when its mighty paws grabbed my leg and tossed me aside. I squealed in a mixture of pain and fear, as it's vicious claws sent a thunderbolt up my spine. I was thrown aside and I landed hard beside the ash stump. I whimpered, I couldn't move. The monster's rumbling died away, and then…
Darkness.
I know it's short o.0 I'll give you guys another one tomorrow to make up for it.
