Chap 6

She nodded, sayingthat she understood. We just turned around when I felt a heavy object land on me and started clawing into my back. I howled in pain, and rolled over to dislodge my attacker. I saw Glacier, and she had the same problem. I was about to get up t help her, when a 3rd cat came and jumped onto me, and a 4th cat jumped onto Glacier.

By the end of it, we where lucky to get out alive. I heard acat behindme hiss, Learn to never challenge a Shadowclan cat!" And then I heardthem walk away.

We had deep cut, which were bleeding heavily. We where loosing a lot of blood, tufts of fur missing, ear torn,… let's just say that we where shredded, literally.

I let her lean on my shoulder and we started heading to Thunderclan territory. We where just on the boundry, when Glacier fainted. I lowwerd her head down, and stuckmy noise into her fur. "Please don't die, Please don't die, PLEASE!
I kept crying over and over.

I heard some rustling, then saw an apprentice jump out behind a bush and charge at me and Glacier. I used up all my strength that I had left, to put my front right leg and paw over Glacier, and meow, "Shadowclan," before I passed out, and fell to the ground.

Graystipe's patrol's POV

The apprentice heard the torn up tom meow, "Shadowclan," and instantly, the apprentice skidded to a hult. He turned around and ran into the bushes in which the boarder patrol was in.

"Graystripe! Graystripe! Graystripe!" he yowled. He ran into Graystripe, the head of the patrol.

"What?"Graystripe asked, bounding out of the way to avoid his apprentice. "What is it Gingerpaw?"

"There's two injured cats over there," she meowed, pointing towards the bushes.

"What?!" Graystripe meowed, and he racing through the bushes to find two passed out catscovered in blood. He looked at their faintly moving pelts.

"The tom meowed 'Shadowclan,'" Gingerpaw meowed.

"He must mean that Shadowclan did this. They're still alive,"he meowed. He looked up at his apprentice."Fetch Jayfeather, quick."

Gingerpaw dashed off, through the undergrowth.
