I realized it was getting dark, and I had to sleep. But it angered me that Thunderstar didnt believe me. The only reason I told him was to be loyal! Why didnt he respect that? Oh well... I'll prove it to him that he's wrong. All I'm doing is being a loyal warrior. No clan cats are suppost to be doing what Fawnpetal is doing! I walked in my den and smiled at the sight of Graystone. Oh, how I loved him! As I lied down and he curled around me, his sweet scent surrounding me, I started to drift off into a dreamless sleep...
I woke up, Graystone still asleep. I licked his muzzle and his yellow eyes flickered open. He smiled at me and got up and stretched. "Hey, can you help me?" I asked.
"Of course!"
"Okay. Just please dont call me crazy... But I saw Fawnpetal... She is alive... and she's a rouge..."
"what?"
"I knew it! I knew you would think I'm crazy!"
"No, I believe you."
"You do?"
"Of course."
"Oh... Good! Anyway, we need to bring her back... Please help... Your probably the only one who believes me."
"Okay... I'll help you. Lets get some food then head off."
We shared a rabbit then left camp.
As we were walking, I got a scent. "You smell that?" I whispered, so maybe she wouldnt hear, if it was her.
Graystone sniffed the air and nodded, "Yeah, yeah I do smell it."
"Lets follow the scent."
As we followed, it became stronger. We crouched to the ground and slowly walked. The scent was so strong, I knew this cat was very close. Then, I barely lifted my head to see. That was when I saw Fawnpetal. She was leaning over to sniff a flower. And as she was, we ran and held her down. "What do you think your doing here?" I shouted.
"Let me go!" She hissed, struggling.
"Rouges shouldnt even wonder through clan territory!" Gasped Graystone.
"I'll go where I want!" She screamed.
Then, Graystone grabbed her by her scruff and pulled her. She tried to fight back, but she immidiaty gave up. She was just too weak and small. "Shadow!" She called, tears streaming across her cheeks.
We dragged her off as fast as we could before Shadow could show up. She kicked and hissed but it was just too easy to drag her and we finally made it to camp. All the cats turned in shock as they heard her helpless scream. They surrounded us, asking question after question.
"Back away everyone!" I spat. They slowly backed up, their eyes widened with curiosity.
"Whats going on?" Growled Thunderstar, making his way through the crowd.
When he saw the little she-cat struggling in Graystones grip, he gasped.
"See! She is alive! Fawnpetal had escaped!" I said.
"I see..." Murmured the leader, "Take her to my den." He said, walking off.
Me and my mate both easily dragged her to the den. She obviously gave up. Then we set her down. She fell right to the grownd, her fragile little body shivering. She looked up at us, tears were streaming down her face. She looked so hopeless... But I did what I had to do... No, I dont feel sorry for her! She asked for it the molment she escaped!
"Thank you... You may now leave." Said Thunderstar.
Graystone and I nodded then stepped out.
"Well, lets go." Said Graystone.
"Wait, lets see what he tells her!" I said.
"No... Please, no!"
"Come on!"
"Alright then."
So we both hid beside the entrance to Thunderstar's den and listened silently.
"Why did you escape?" Growled Thunderstar.
"Because I'm worthless to this clan!" Cried Fawnpetal.
"Every cat in this clan has a meaning."
"I couldnt do anything right..."
"Well, you were a good medicince cat."
"Yeah but I lost that."
"Well, you got to be a warrior."
"I'm too weak to be a warrior."
"Even the smallest warrior has some importance to this clan. You just had to give it time, like you did when you were medicine cat."
"I dont even care! I was taken away from my kits! My kits!"
"They are in good paws now."
"No!"
"Dont be that way!"
"I lost everything!"
"Listen, I want you back. Please, come back."
"But-"
"Just think about it, I wont make you..."
"Alright..."
"But just remember that if you really want to stay a rouge, you must never walk on clan territory again. Goodbye."
Then, we saw Fawnpetal run out, not wanting to be seen by the rest of the warriors here, obviously.
