Chapter Ten:

I yelped in pain as a long claw scraped down my pelt. I had many scratch marks. It had been three days since I was stolen. Wasn't Robintail coming for me? With our Clan's warriors? Or had my best friend gone and become Robinstar while I was stuck here. No. He wouldn't do that, and even if he wanted to, Fernstep wouldn't let him do that.

The cat left, seeing I wasn't giving anymore signs of a reaction towards their claws. I heard a shriek as another cat was pushed down into the whole. ThunderClan! I was tense, waiting for an attack. I relaxed a bit when nothing happened. Light shown down into the hole as a cat began to enter from the entrance. I saw a bright ginger pelt. Squirrelflight!

I growled as Blackstar and Russetfur, along with some of their other warriors entered.

"What do you want with me? And Squirrelflight?" I demanded.

"Same old bitter Splashstar." Blackstar chuckled. I snarled as he stepped forward. My claws had unsheathed.

".." I snarled each word.

"You. Your family. Dead." He said.

I hissed in shock and anger. He knew Squirrelflight, Leafpool, Firestar, and I were related? How?

"That's right. I know a lot of things, Splashheart." He said simply, calling me by my warrior name.

"Splashstar! And StarClan wouldn't approve of this." I growled. He and his warriors laughed.

"ShadowClan has never followed StarClan's laws, Splash." He said. Now he didn't even consider me a warrior. I snarled at my first name. If he wants Splash, I'll give him Splash.

He stalked forward, towards Squirrelflight, who was inbetween us, laying unconscious on the dirt floor.

I jumped forward and met him, nose to nose. His amber eyes flashed in shock, but then turned to anger and hatred. I felt the strength and determination I'd had as Splash flow back into me. I'd always had that strength, the ability to kill, but I'd always wanted to follow the warrior code, and nearly forgot them.

"Who do you think you are?" Russetfur hissed, now beside Blackstar.

"I don't think, I know, I'm Splashstar. Leader of RiverClan, and former leader of BloodClan." I said evenly.

"You're going to be a dead Splashstar." She growled. I growled back.

I lunged forward, knocking her to the ground, despite the size disadvantage. I knew what I was doing, and it was dangerous, but family is more important than the code, right?

I kicked her away when she reared up on her hind paws. She slammed into the hard-packed dirt wall, landing on the ground.

Blackstar hissed in shock and anger. I smirked at him. He lunged forward, I dodged his attack, sending him crashing to the ground, putting Squirrelflight inbetween us again. He raised his paw, preparing to slam it down onto her head, but I lunged forward and dug my teeth into his neck. He attemted to shake me off, but I clung to his neck, tasting the blood in my mouth. His paws clawed at my sides, but I ignored it. His flailing became less powerful, and soon he fell to the ground.

I let go, jumping off of him. Russetfur and the three warriors standing there yelped in shock. A starved RiverClan warrior had just taken a life from their well fed, stronger leader.

They cast me wary glances, before angry yowling was heard from three groups of warriors. I smelt every Clan except WindClan. RiverClan!

Firestar! And Robintail! I watched glad as they landed on their paws landing in the hole.

Russetfur snarled, leaping at them. Lionpaw had dropped in then, landing in front of Firestar and Robintail. I'd never seen such a young cat fight like that before! He leaped at Russetfur, knocking her out of the air mid-leap. I saw Squirrelflight wake up on the ground, taking in the scene in front of us.

Other ShadowClan warriors had joined in, Firestar and Robintail had joined Lionpaw as well. Blackstar woke behind us, and I turned on him.

"Let us go. And call off your warriors. Unless you want to die." I said. His amber eyes widened a bit, then he called off his warriors. I stalked away, towards Firestar, Robintail, Lionpaw, and Squirrelflight. Russetfur and I glared at eachother one last time before I jumped up the sides of the hole, up into the ShadowClan camp. The warriors stopped fighting as Blackstar joined us, followed by his warriors. I rejoined at the head of my Clan, leaving the ShadowClan camp.

"What took you so long?" I growled at Robintail once we were back at the RiverClan camp.

"We thought you'd break out on your own; plus, we weren't strong enough. Blackstar nearly destroyed us." He said guiltily. {Is that a word?}

"It's fine. I'm back now." I said, talking to the entire Clan.

"Splashstar? What will we do about ShadowClan?" Silverstripe asked.

"I don't know yet." I admitted to my brother.

"Are you going to let them get away with this?" He growled.

"Don't question me! You've been gone for seasons with no explanations!" I snarled at him. Tension rung high as he snarled back.

"You were taken. We were left to die!" He growled.

"You're a big baby! I didn't ask Scourge and Bone to take me to BloodClan!" I yowled.

He was furious, he leaped forward. He was bigger than me, like most cats, I raced away from him, leaving him to land on his paws neatly. I prepared to strike, but Whitefoot stepped between us.

"Stop!" She growled at us both. Silverstripe snorted and walked out of camp. I followed him, Whitefoot following closely behind. I stopped dead in my tracks as the fat tom met up with a ShadowClan cat. Rowanclaw! I watched as the ginger tabby slid a fat squirrel to Silverstripe. I heard him whisper a few words, and Rowanclaw nodded at each. Then he turned and left, leaving Silverstripe with the squirrel.

He tore into it hungrily. I leaped out of the reeds, surprising my brother. He dropped a piece of squirrel flesh, shocked.

"You're a spy! You've been working for Blackstar!" I snarled, circling the fat silver tabby.

I lunged forward as he denied it.

"We saw you trade our secrets to Rowanclaw for a squirrel!" I cried in rage. Whitefoot did nothing to stop me. I was to proove my loyalty to the Clan over my family. I sliced the whiskers off of Silverstripe. I growled at him, daring him to make a move.

He kicked me off and lunged forwards. I dodged it and he rolled into the river. His bellly weighed him down though, and he couldn't swim.

"Help! I'm your brother! Older brother! Younger sisters are supposed to listen to older brothers!" He snarled defiantly.

"No! You are a backstabbing, murerous, traitorous, bitch!" I snarled after him. He sunk to the bottom of the river, and Whitefoot and I watched as our older brother drowned.

"He got you stolen!" Whitefoot gasped.

"He probably thought I would die there, and then he could take over." I said. I put the pieces together, realizing that Silverstripe had been working for ShadowClan. When we went to attack, they knew when. I felt even more anger bubbling up as I remembered every time ShadowClan had beaten us, how they over powered us, how they knew our battle moves.

"Whitefoot! Tell Robintail he's incharge of camp until I come back." I said, turning away towards WindClan territory.

"Where are you going?" She yelled after me.

"I'm not sure!" I yowled. I lied. I knew exactly where I was going.

I walked three fox lengths from the shore of the lake, crossing over into ThunderClan territory. I continued on, making sure no ThunderClan cats would catch me in their territory. I walked until I'd reached the spot I'd been caught on. I dug down into the dirt, wincing as a dog's tooth cut my pad.I reached down, hooking the orange collar in my claws.

I wriggled back into it, feeling the dog teeth settle uncofortably around my neck, and raced away. Back home.


Silverstripe is a traitor! Splashstar is just going on a warriors vacation. She's going to BloodClan, if you haven't already figured that out, YOU ARE STUPID! So, I went back to school today, yay! Not. I have classes with a lot of my friends, and atleast someone I can work with in most of my classes. Except, my shitty school doesn't have me in a class with my best friend. I'm sad. But, I'll live, probably. I have a few more chapters left to this, 2-4 at the most. But I only finished this chapter, which I have been writing for about four than that, I have a new story out, a Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorperated Fanfiction. I'm collaberating with alloutgirl on my other account on a Lemonade Mouth/House of Anubis crossover fanfiction. And I plan to start a nother crossover fanfiction event when this is over! I need something to do when I'm bored! And, (Believe me, I know this is odd) I can't write for a topic unless I'm 'comfortable' writing as the characters. I have problems with the HoA characters, because, I don't know why. Anyways! Goodnight people, I have to go now. I get up at 6 AM now for school, and must be in bed by 10:30 PM or I'll be a bitch. And, My Wife and Kids is on, who else thinks Jay's laugh is annoying? It gives me a head ache!
