Chapter Nine

*Ivypool*

I wake up tired and scared. Last night was particularly draining. Now that I'm all alone in the Dark Forest, just one resister, things have gotten so much more dangerous. Mapleshade and Lillywinter stalk me, and Tigerstar's always just around the corner.

Anyway I need to talk to Midnightstar. The Dark Forest is getting even worse and the Clan must be prepared.

I walk out of the den and stick to the shadows, trying not to draw anyone's attention. I'm almost at the path to the ledge when Blossomfall blocks my path.

"Where are you going?" she sneers.

"Not really any of your business." I shoot back in hate, remembering what she'd said in the forest only last night.

"When can we attack ThunderClan?" Blossomfall whines to Hawkfrost. Not paying attention to her simpering, I just roll my eyes and keep training. Hawkfrost snaps something back to her in annoyance. "But I want revenge on my sister! I want to kill her!"

"And you'll get that chance." Hawkfrost promises before running away. My pelt fills with ice and I stumble, getting me in trouble with Wolfstream. The idiot makes me do fifty repetitions like I'm still an apprentice.

Blossomfall bears her teeth at me back in the present. "Not thinking of doing anything stupid are we?"

"Well you would know." I hiss, "You're the queen of stupidity!"

Her ragged pelt stands on end and her eyes fill with boiling hate. "You're going to regret that one of these days."

"I doubt it." I reply breezily. "What even happened to you?"

"I became a better cat. Unlike yourself." She sneers her eyes glittering with fervor.

"You became a monster. You are a monster." I mew coldly.

"You know the games are playing tonight. I'm scouting for contestants. I think I just found one." She mews, cocking her head and smiling wickedly.

I spit in her face. "Try me." I growl so low I only feel the vibrations.

"You know what I think?" Blossomfall mews inching forward, her once beautiful face way to close, "I think you're a traitor."

"We're both traitors Blossomfall." I mew with a roll of my eyes.

"Don't play dumb. You know what I mean. And you know what happens to traitors."

"No Blossomfall!" I suddenly scream, getting the whole Clan's attention, "What does happen to traitors?"

"What are you doing?" she shrieks.

"Blossomfall?" Mille cries.

"Go on Blossomfall! Tell your mother what's going to happen to you! Tell her what you did!" I scream, glaring at her.

"You dung face!" Blossomfall screams while her mother calls repeatedly:

"Blossomfall, Blossomfall!"

Blossomfall snarls and slips down into a hunters crouch. I copy her and we start to circle, just like in the Dark Forest. She pauses for a moment and smirks mewing, "I knew it." And then she springs. I jump aside at the last moment and she hits the ground hard. I jump on her, claws out and we roll, slashing and clawing all the way. I manage to pin her and when I do I dig my claws in.

"Tell them!" I snarl but she only stares malevolently at me.

"Tell us what?" someone calls.

Blossomfall laughs derisively, daring me to tell the truth. Dare accepted.

"She's a part of the Dark Forest." I mew quite calmly, and coldly. "She's plotting to kill you all."

"No!" Millie shrieks while Graystripe stares in horror. "Not my darling," Millie continues, "She would never hurt family."

I sigh heavily, and mew firmly, "Yes Millie, she would. I promise you. Wouldn't you Blossomfall?" I ask glaring down at her.

"Blossomfall how could you betray your Clan like this?" Graystripe demands in horror.

"This has never been my Clan." Blossomfall snarls. "I have never belonged!"

The Clan draws a collective gasp. Graystripe and Mille look horrified.

"So what now Ivypool dear? Going to kill me?" she taunts.

"No." I mew, getting off of her and using my claws to throw her on her side. "I have compassion. You will leave. You will leave and not come back. But I will not kill you."

"I don't know, she'd deserve it Ivypool." A familiar voice mews. I turn to see the lithe black shape and uncharacteristically cold eyes of our leader glaring at Blossomfall. "After all, she is a murderer."

The Clan howls in shock and rage, while Mille sobs. Bumblestripe stands next to Briarlight, both of them looking shocked.

"Go on, do tell them." Midnightstar mews almost casually.

"I killed that WindClan apprentice." Blossomfall mews with a shrug. The Clan is in an uproar again.

"Her name was Amberpaw! She was renamed a warrior after you murdered her! In cold blood!" Midnightstar snarls.

"Yeah, yeah whatever." Blossomfall mews dismissively, rolling her eyes.

I watch as Midnightstar's body tenses and eyes flash dangerously. She leaps from her place on the path and lands heavily on Blossomfall.

"Every life is worth something! But you slaughtered a perfectly good cat. Your worth is dropping quickly." Midnightstar growls.

"Midnightstar," I mew, my voice cold and even. She backs off of the cat.

"I want a guard patrol to escort her off of Clan territory. Push her off if you have to. And you," she snarls, getting back into Blossomfall's face. "If you even put one claw back on this territory, I will personally kill you."

"Revenge is best cold darling." Blossomfall replies.

Midnightstar gives a scream of fury and slashes her face. Blood bursts from the deep cuts and pool in her ragged fur, going all the way to her chest and drenching it in the rank smell.

"Thornclaw, Spiderleg, Nightwhisper, Blazefeather, Jaggedwind, Cloudtail, Brackenfur, Birchfall, Molewhisker, Brightheart, and Lionblaze." She calls quickly, and the cats who were named step forward quickly, "Take this scum to the border. Quickly."

"Ivypool." Midnightstar mews as they start to leave.

"Yes?" I ask, approaching her.

"What happened?"

And so, I tell her.

"What in the name of the Dark Forest was that?" I wake to the council. Brilliant. Several obscenities fly through my mind but I mew,

"Blossomfall was getting too obvious. She would have blown the whole operation. Better it be me to 'accuse' her so that they will always trust me. Besides I need no one else." I reply coolly, lifting my chin slightly.

"You give them information?" Mapleshade demands, glaring at me so I roll my eyes with a sigh.

"We've been over this Mapleshade. They think I work for them. But I give them false information with some truth so that they will continue to believe me." I mew, making my voice long-suffering.

"And you spy for us?" Tigerstar presses.

I don't even blink, "Yes."

"I told you she was clever," Hawkfrost mews pompously giving me a once over with his cold, dead, blue eyes. Ew.

"Very." Tigerstar mews with a ghost of a smile.

"Don't count your prey before you hunt." Mapleshade mews coldly.

"Anyways," I mew impatiently, "Are we don't here? Can I go?"

"Oh sure." Tigerstar mews with a shrug.

"Whoosh." I mutter under my breath. That was way too close.

Okay so I've wanted to do that since Blossomfall joined the Dark Forest. I'm so glad it's finally out. What do you think of Ivypool's point of view and the insight into the Dark Forest?

Also do you think Midnight was too harsh and let her emotions get the best of her? Or do you think her actions were justified? I have to say I love her line "Every life is worth something." Because it's so true. I hate the "for the greater good" justification, so that's my reply to it=) Hope you guys liked it!

Review please! Have a nice day=) (or night)

~Midnight=)
