Deerpaw jumped back, there was about five more coming from the shadows... wait there was six. If this is the group of cats chasing after Honeypelt, then how many are at the camp! The five cats moved closer to Deerpaw and the two warriors forming a tight circle around them. A mangy tabby with a nasty wound on his right eye stalked toward them, toward her!

"Well well well, looks like I found a recruit for my group." he sneered. Deerpaw growled.

"Sorry but I don't won't to join a group of mange pelts." she spat. The tom didn't to be listening to her, a smirk formed on his face(if cats can do that).

"Maybe after you watch us kill your mentors, you might join change mind... and join your little friend too."

"WHAT DO MEAN BY-" Flamepelt jumped in front in front of Deerpaw before she could finish.

"Who is this "little friend"?" Growled her mentor.

"That little red kitten, honestly she did out up a good fight... to bad her other friend." purred the cat. Deerpaw! It can't be! Deerpaw's pelt began to rise, her friend might be trapped... and Fincheyes!

Flamepelt snarled, "Give them both back now!" The tom smirked again, "You can have the cat, but your going to have to fight for the kitten, and my cats will kill you in an instant." The rogues came closer to Deerpaw, Honeypelt, and Flamepelt.

"I'll get the ones in the back and you can take care of the others" hissed Deerpaw Flamepelt, "I can ward them away from Honeypelt."

"Retreat." Deerpaw stared at her mentor, her eyes wide with surprise.

"You have said many stupid things before, but please tell me I didn't hear "retreat"!" hissed Deerpaw, Flamepelt gave her a cold stare.

"Retreat." His voice got gradually louder, Deerpaw noticed a smug look flash on the leader rogues face, she hated it.

"YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS, WE CAN SAVE HER, SHE'S PART OF OUR CLAN." yowled Deerpaw, her voice broke "WHAT ABOUT HER BROTHER, WHAT ABOUT HER CLAN... what about me?"

Flamepelt pushed Deerpaw back with his tail and Honeypelt followed behind him. Deerpaw held herself back, Flamepelt gave her expressionless stare, and padded away. With a few reluctant paw steps Deerpaw followed her mentor, the three cats trekked bad in silence. Is she safe, she could be starving, beaten, tortured, or WORSE! The horrible thoughts went through her head.

"What are we gonna tell the clan?" she heard Honeypelt whisper to Flamepelt, the two warriors were a little ahead of her, Deerpaw craned her head toward them.

"We should tell them the truth... for Deerpaw, I don't want her look for her herself." meowed Flamepelt, then he cast Deerpaw a "you better mind your business" glance and turned back. Deerpaw flinched at the look and padded back as she watched the two cats talk. Autumnclan must already have some problems and now a new one has happened, Deerpaw looked at the ground wondering how her clanmates will react.

"Deerpaw your alive!" Acornfur's worried shriek knocked Deerpaw out of her thoughts.

"I thought my kit was dead" she meowed, then she licked Deerpaw hard, Deerpaw let out an annoyed hiss and stepped back. Autumnstar came out from behind her.

"Fincheyes told me everything that happened" the leader meowed. Flamepelt, Honeypelt, and Deerpaw all flinched. Flamepelt stared at her.

"She must of told you about-"

"Yes... we're looking for her right now."

"I see"

"UGH! I thought we were gonna ditch that annoying kitten." Sparrowpaw's annoyed hiss made Deerpaw jump, then she glared at her sister.

"Sparrowpaw don't forget she's part of our clan." growled Deerpaw. Why does she have to be so heartless!

"Hmmp, like I care I hope we never find her, that kit might keep me from being a warrior"

"How could you be so cruel!?" Deerpaw's claws began to unsheath, and before her sister could say anything, Deerpaw felt her claws rake Sparrowpaw's pelt.

"YOU LITTLE RAT" Sparrowpaw tackled her down, Deerpaw raked at her nose and tried to push her off.

"HOW COULD YOU BE SO HEARTLESS,YOU FOXHEART!" growled Deerpaw, Sparrowpaw began to scratch Deerpaw's face and hissed,

"I CARE LESS ABOUT YOU THAN HER"

"Stop that this right now!" Flamepelt hissed and grabbed Deerpaw by her scruff and pulled her away.

"YOU FOXHEART" yowled Deerpaw as she tried to claw at her sister, who was being held back by Honeypelt.
"YOU PATHETIC PIECE OF MOUSE-DUNG" she yelled back.

"What's with you?" hissed Flamepelt, "we don't have time to break apart apprentice fights." Deerpaw growled and padded away and muttered.

"I just need some time alone." She trekked into the forest, sat down, then exhaled.

"Is it true?" Deerpaw jumped to see Icepaw's blind blue eyes starring at her.

"Is it true the my sister is gone?"
