Chapter 2! I need at least one review or I won't continue.
Starpaw hurried into camp and ran over to Rosesky who was talking to Moonlight. She bounced up and down but it didn't seem like they would stop anytime soon. "Rosesky?" she interrupted, "Sorry for interrupting but it's urgent!"
"What is it?" asked Rosesky, clearly annoyed.
Starpaw gulped, "Well you see. Spiderstorm and I were at the Pear Boulders so I can train and then I smelled this weird smell of a rouge on one of the boulders." Starpaw noticed Moonlight stiffened when she mentioned the rouge.
"A rouge?" wondered Rosesky.
"I'll go check around the territory," offered Moonlight quickly. A little too quickly. Rosesky and Starpaw both watched Moonlight leave the camp quickly.
"You should get back to Spiderstorm," offered Rosesky.
"Huh? Right," Starpaw left camp and ran towards the Pear Boulders. When she could see the boulders the stench of blood filled her nose. "What the?" Starpaw raced forward faster. "Where is Moonlight? She should have gotten here before me!" Starpaw froze as she went around a boulder. Before her was her mentor, covered with wounds. His black fur was hardly visible under all the blood that caked it. He saw Starpaw approach and he lifted his head.
"Starpaw," he coughed, "Be careful. There are…." He groaned in pain and his head hit the ground.
"Spiderstorm!" Starpaw raced to her mentor's side. She sighed in relief as she saw his chest was slowly rising and falling. The smells of rouges were all over his fur. Starpaw glanced around fearfully. Were the rouges close by? Were they watching her?
"Starpaw!" Starpaw jumped and whirled around to face Daisyfur, Mudpaw and Bluetail. "What happened?" asked Bluetail staring at Spiderstorm.
"We can ask questions later!" snapped Daisyfur, "Bluetail. Help me bring Spiderstorm back to camp. Mudpaw. Starpaw. The two of you run on ahead and tell Dashpelt to get ready."
"Yes Daisyfur," said Mudpaw, running back to camp. Starpaw quickly followed him. "So what happened?" asked Mudpaw, as they were running.
"I think rouges attacked him," said Starpaw, "I know it might seem weird but the scent of rouges was strong on him."
Mudpaw nodded. Unlike his brother Mudpaw was a quiet cat. Starpaw found him a little too quiet but in times like this he was a good listener. They reached the camp in record time and slipped inside.
"Dashpelt! Dashpelt!" Starpaw ran into the rocky cave that served as the medicine cat den. Foxpaw and Dashpelt were at the back and they turned when Starpaw entered.
"What is it Starpaw?" asked Foxpaw.
"Spiderstorm has been attacked by what Starpaw thinks are rouges," explained Mudpaw, "Daisyfur and Bluetail are bringing him back right now and they sent us to tell you to get ready."
"Thank you," Dashpelt immediately began gathering some herbs together while Foxpaw pushed Starpaw and Mudpaw out of the den.
"Looks like they are here," said Mudpaw.
The cats who were in camp all turned to the entrance to see Bluetail and Daisyfur dragging in Spiderstorm's battered body.
"What happened?" asked Smokepaw, padding over to Starpaw.
"I was going to ask the same thing," said Rosesky, padding over to Starpaw. The gray she-cat watched the two warriors take Spiderstorm into Dashpelt's den before turning back to Starpaw. "So?"
"I don't know," said Starpaw, "I was here in camp when it happened." Starpaw noticed Moonlight entering camp. Starpaw's eyes narrowed. Where was the deputy when this happened? She dug her claws into the ground.
Rosesky said, "I'll send some cats to look around the area." The leader headed over to Moonlight.
"Something is weird here," said Starpaw.
"What do you mean?" asked Smokepaw.
"Well Moonlight said she was going to check out the smell but when I got there she wasn't there. In fact I don't think she was there at all," said Starpaw.
"What are you saying?" gasped Smokepaw, "You think my mother has something to do with this?"
Starpaw shook her head, "No. No. I don't think that. I just find it a bit strange that's all." The gray she-cat sighed, "Look. I'm not trying to accuse your mother of anything! I'm just saying stuff."
Smokepaw still stared at Starpaw in suspicion. "Smokepaw!" called Whiteleaf from the entrance of the camp, "We're on a patrol with Flametail and Birdfeather."
"See you," said Smokepaw before running to Whiteleaf.
Starpaw fell to the ground, "I suck…" She thought of the conversation again. "Smokepaw probably hates me now. What a mouse brain I am!"
