Chapter 6
-Stormpaw's POV-
"WHAT?!" The two cats screeched.
"That's right." I meowed firmly. "You two are sisters and Flaretooth is your brother."
"Ok, so where is he?" Hollypelt meowed, looking around.
I sadly gazed at them. "In StarClan." I mewed quietly.
"What?" Falconwing squeaked.
"Your brother is dead." My voice turned into a snarl. "He was murdered by a filthy, rotten, horrible ShadowClan cat!!"
ShadowClan roared its disapproval. But I paid no attention to them.
"Darkshade!" I screamed. "Darkshade is a murderous cat! He is the one stealing the clan's kits! And he is using you two to do it!" I flicked my tail at them.
After the clan's quieted down, I turned to Airstar. "Airstar, have some of your kits disappeared?"
She nodded. "Five, to be exact."
Fawnstar and ThunderClan had lost six.
"RiverClan has lost five." I meowed. Then, I confronted Fogstar.
"Fogstar." I meowed carefully. "Have you…rescued any kits lately?"
Fogstar shook her head. "I have not, but Darkshade has."
"How many?"
"Sixteen. All have been made apprentices."
I turned to the sea of cats. "Is it a coincidence, or has Darkshade been stealing kits in the night?" I yowled.
"I have."
I was surprised when Darkshade spoke up.
"You have seen ShadowClan as the strongest clan, the biggest clan. But our warriors are dying, our queens bear no kits. During leaf-bare, we have become the smallest clan, the weakest clan."
He looked up at me.
"But I know what I have done was wrong. I will have warriors return your missing apprentices.
But something in his eyes told me something was going to go terribly wrong.
