Chapter 8

Blazepaw followed his mentor through the thick pine forest. Blazepaw was amazed on how it looked. He always thought it would be cold, dark, and scary, like how his mother described it to him when she warned him about going into the forest. Instead the forest was warm, for the sun shined through the pie trees. The forest looked friendly, but not all safe. There were foxes and badgers still out there. And twolegs.

Finally Russetfur stopped.

"Why are we stopping?" Blazepaw asked.

"Because this is what I wanted to show you," Russetfur meowed as she flicked her tail to a clearing. It was small with a tree stump in the middle of it.

"A tree stump?" Blazepaw meowed, not impressed.

"No. The clearing. It is where we train our apprentices," Russetfur explained.

"Can we train?" Blazepaw asked.

"If we have time," Russetfur meowed.

They started walking again. Soon there were more oak and maple trees then pine trees. A scent that smelled like rain became present.

"This is the border line between ThnderClan and our clan. Don't cross it and those lazy cats won't claw off your ears," Russetfur meowed then started moving again. Blazepaw followed her.

Suddenly Russetfur stopped. She stuck her nose up in the air. Then she sniffed.

"Err what are you doing?" Blazepaw meowed.

"Intruders." Hissed Russetfur. "Go get Blackstar."

Blazepaw, horror struck ran to back to camp. Wait…he didn't know which way camp was. Just prefect.

Blazepaw decided to run straight. Hopefully that was the right way. Then the twig snapped.

"Oops," Blazepaw meowed. He looked down. Only there was no twig below him. Someone was watching him.

More branches broke. "Mousedung!" Hissed Blazepaw. If Ivytail heard him say that, he would be in a load of trouble.

"I know you're out there," Blazepaw meowed to whoever was stalking him.

Silence. Then a little squirrel hopped out.

Blazepaw sighed in relief. No cat was going to attack him.

Blazepaw then started going to camp. Things started to look familiar. Camp would be coming up.

When Blazepaw got in camp, he was shocked- cats were fighting everywhere. Snowbird was battling a white tom, while Pinepaw was fighting a cat that was younger than her- maybe four moons. Even though the cat was young, it was as skilled as Pinepaw.

"Blazepaw!" Blazepaw turned to see his mother. She had bloody wounds all over her flank. Her ears were shredded but that didn't seem to matter to her. All it seemed to matter to her was that one of her kits was safe.

"Mother what happened?" Blazepaw asked.

"I don't know. These cats just attacked," Ivytail meowed. Just then a big tabby tom leapt onto Ivytail. He bit down into her neck. Blood splashed out. Ivytail's screams were too much for Blazepaw. Anger boiled in him. Anger and terror.

Blazepaw suddenly rose his paws up in the air. Flames started to flicker around his large paws. Once the flames turned into an orb, Blazepaw shot the orb into the tom. Fire splatted everywhere. The tom was in a firey cage. His cries were sickening. All the fighting ceased to watch the burning tom.

"Oh my StarClan! How did I do that? Someone make it stop!" Blazepaw wailed.

"Wow…" Darkpaw meowed as she stopped fighting an elderly tom, "I want that power…"

Ivytail coughed. Blood was pouring out on the ground into a sticky puddle. Blazepaw ran to her.

"Mother?" He asked.

"Blazepaw, what you just did was amazing," Ivytail wheezed. She was dying of too much blood loss.

"Someone! Help! Stop looking at the foxdung of a fire burning tom and help Ivytail!" Blazepaw snarled at his clanmates.

Littlecloud ran to Ivytail with cob webs, but it was too late. Ivytail let out one last breath of air and died.

"No! No! No!" Wailed Blazepaw. This couldn't be happening!

"Mom?" Darkpaw meowed as she walked to her mother's body. She buried her nose into her decreased mothers tortoiseshell fur.

"Serves you right," a black-and-white she-cat hissed. Her cold grey eyes flashed with anger. "You caught my father on fire!"

"He killed my mother," Blazepaw hissed.

"Two wrongs don't make a right!" The she-cat hissed. She then turned to look at the fire. It was going out, reveling a scorched body. The she-cat's eyes were watery.

A golden tom meowed, "come on Nemesis. Let's get out of here."

Nemesis nodded then spat, "We'll be back. Mark my words!"

The invaders piled out of camp, leaving ShadowClan alone.

Darkpaw padded up to Blazepaw, and meowed, "We won!"

Blazepaw growled at her meowing, "but at what cost? I'm now a killer, and I's my first day as an apprentice!"

"Well that's the risk of a warrior, dying in battle," Darkapw meowed and walked to Pinepaw who was looking at Blazepaw with pity.

"It's okay son," Toadfoot meowed to his son, "nothing else can go will go wrong, I promise."

But that was a lie. One big lie.
