Heh. I just wanted to put that. But seriously, someone graphically gets shot in this chapter. And let's just say if you thought Hollypaw would be the one doing the killing...you're wrong.


Lionpaw, Hollypaw, and Jaypaw were all upstairs in Lionpaw's room playing Monopoly.

"Haha! Do not pass go, do not collect 200$ dollars, go directly to jail!" Lionpaw read the card for his sister, since she was on the other side of the table.

"Aw, crap!" She groaned playfully and moved her segway pawn to the jail square.

Brambleclaw smiled as he secretly listened from outised the half shut door. He then carefully went downstairs, and got Squirrelflight who was sitting in the living room with her laptop.

"Honey, I need to talk to you. Remember in the car today when I told you I need to talk to you?"

"Yes, what is it?" She asked, closing her laptop and setting it on the table.

"Well..in the fire...here." Instead of trying to explain, he just handed her 3 pictures of the 'I'm gonna get you Connors', which was written on the walls in soot at the school.

"Oh my god!" Squirrelflight started crying.

"Honey, it's all right. We have caught who it is. It's Ashfur. He is also the one who probably shoved Hollypaw into the janitors closet."

Squirrelflight continued to cry. "W-we can't ss-send them back up there! What is he takes it to the next level!?"

"I know I know. I think we should homeschool them." Brambleclaw sighed.

"Okay...let's tell them." Squirrelflight took a deep breath and inally stopped crying.

Brambleclaw ran up stairs and called, "Kids! I need you to c'mere!"

They all raced down the stairs and everyone sat in the living room.

"During the fire..someone wrote this on the walls in soot." He handed each of the three kits a picture.

They all gasped.

"Who would be out to get us? We don't do anything!" Jaypaw gasped.

"Well...We have teh culprit. It's your Uncle Ashfur." They all three gasped. Ashfur wasn't really their uncle, but he and Squirrelflight had been good friends up until a year ago. Something happened, and they hadn't spoke since.

"You're all three being homeschoole-

"No news for me." Jaypaw snorted. Brambleclaw glared.

"You're all being homeschooled. It's far too dangerous. What could come next? A bomb?" Brambleclaw sighed.

"Well, either way, we're all going to the back to school bash Thursday, and un registering you there." Brambleclaw continued.

"This is so dumb!" Lionpaw snapped angrily.

"Yeah, what about my friends!? I don't get to talk to them hardly as it is!" Hollypaw agreed.

"Hold it!" Brambleclaw stood up and yowled above the loud clamour. "It's only for a little while. Until we are positive there is no threat of you guys getting hurt." Brambleclaw explained.

"Whatever!" Lionpaw growled and ran to his room, Hollypaw following.


That night, Squirrelflight went for a walk, her largest purse on her shoulder. I'm sick of the lies, sick of the secrets, sick of worrying about it being let out. After this, no more. The kids can continue a normal, obliveous life, and the secreet will be safe. Squirrelflight thought.

She walked up the drive way to Ashfur's door. As soon as she had found out he had been bailed out by his parents, she knew it was her only chance. She took a deep breath and knocked.

He opened the door. "Well well well, look who it is." He sneered.

"I'm sick of this Ashfur. Why did you do it?"

"Because. They might not be your actual kits, but you love them as if they were. You took yourself, as teh most important thing in my life away from me. And now I'm going to stop at nothing to take away the most important things to you... Your husband...your kits...your sister... And there is nothing you can do to stop me." He snarled and smirked. "And then, right before I kill each one, I'll tell them those kids aren't actually yours. And then I'll tell it to the whole world."

"No you wont. Good bye Ashfur. My secret will be safe forever." Squirrelflight took a handgun from her purse, aimed it straight for his head and pulled the trigger. He fell to teh ground dead, blood everywhere. She immediantly got to work, keeping the gloves on her hands tight, sure to leave no finger prints. She dragged his body inside all the way, and cleaned the wood floor with bleach, windez, and lysol. When all traces of blood gone,she wrapped Ashfur's paw on the gun, and then took her gloves, put them back in her purse, and walked back home.

"Hey honey, how was your walk?" Brambleclaw asked happily. "Great, I feel much more energized now. I was gonna walk to Dollar Tree, but they are closed." She lied.

"Oh. Well, the kids are in bed. I think I'm gonna hit the hay too."

"Okay, honey, I'll be up soon." Squirrelflight smiled, and waited for him to go upstairs before she put the blood gloves in the trash can, then took the trash out and replaced the bag.

No more. It's all over. The police will find the body soon, think Ashfur comitted suicide, the kids will be safe, and everything will be normal. Not normal as in secrets, but normal like before those kids were ever born. Squirrelflight thought, slipping into bed beside Brambleclaw.


The next morning around 10:30 AM, the phone rang. Squirrelflight picked it up. "Hello?"

It was Brambleclaw. "Hey honey. Just thought I should tell you...Ashfur is dead. He is suspected to have comitted suicide, so you can stop worrying about the kids safety.

"Oh, thank Starclan! Well, not that he's dead. Well, actually, kinda yes that he's dead. well-"

"Honey, I know wat you mean." Brambleclaw's grin could practically be heard.

"I'm relieved too, and I know hte kits will be. They can go to regular school now."

"Great. Well, see you tonight. I got to go to the preschool. Love you too." She hung up the phone, and went into the living room, where Lionpaw, Hollypaw, and Jaypaw were.

"Ashfur's dead, so it's safe for you guys to stay here alone, but either way, I'm having Leafpool come over for a while. I've got to go to the preschool for a bit. See you kids later."

"Bye." Lionpaw grunted.

"Bye." Jaypaw meowed.

"See ya." Hollypaw chirped.

Squirrelflight walked out the door and drove to the preschool, knowing her secret would be safe forever.
